[This video comes on to Romelle with six Pokémon, all recently caught.]

It seems the Snorunt wanted me to catch more interesting Pokémon? [She shrugged a little.] Either way, I was able to go back and catch my original attempts later. But now I have six instead of just three.

[As if to show themselves off, they had paired up as the intended and then actually caught. A Cutiefly with a Fomantis, a Shinx with an Audino, and a Poliwag with a Wishiwashi. Romelle wasn't all that put out, but it had been unexpected.]

I hope everyone else had a better time.

But now, I'm thinking about this upcoming contest and festival. It is spring, but... doesn't the image on the invitation look a bit like a snowman?

[She turned her Gear to show it in case anyone forgot.]



Or maybe a torvax... wait, what do humans call it? Right! A penguin!

I imagine so. It's called a Fidough. He looks a bit like a very creative baker had some fun.

[She shifted the view of her Gear to show of the doughy pup in question.]

[Ah, a familiar sight! Cecil looks delighted.]

One of those bread dogs! A few have been sighted in Celadon over the last month, and my Arcanine almost ate one thinking it was an abandoned pastry.

[Moving swiftly on...]

If he has anything in common with the local dog species, I've no doubt he's a delightful companion.

Oh no!

[The Fidough in question barked in alarm like he understood what was said.]

I'm glad you figured it out. [She chuckled just a bit, though, giving her Fidough a soft pat to the head to comfort him.]

I've heard that many canine-like creatures are often quite amenable to learning tricks and being good companions.

They do have a reputation for their intelligence and the way they understand people easily... as long as they are motivated to do so.

[As it happens, Cecil thinks that occasional laziness is delightful, and he does not bother hiding his smile.]

Usually, food in general is motivating enough, but perhaps Fidough's nature influences their preferences?

Re: [video]

That is definitely something to consider. I've noticed that certain natured Pok�mon have different taste preferences when it comes to things like berries and poffins.

Is the link between the two truly that strong? I've observed that my very serious Alolan Ninetales despises anything sweet, but I was under the impression that she simply treats her health with the same seriousness. More of an anecdote than a case of cause and effect, truly.

Re: [video]

I don't know for certain, but I've seen something where several Pokémon that all have a brave nature prefer spicy berries.

[paladinlost]

Truly? Interesting... I've a handful of particularly brave Pokémon in my team; perhaps I should offer them some spicy chili to see their reactions.

I'd love to hear about the results if you try.
