Snippet #1826104

Sora didn't manage to catch the Vulpix's thanks, because he wasn't expecting it, and hadn't been concentrating. Quilava on the other hand had, and tried to comfort her, "It's okay, I never used to be able to open doors either. If you manage to evolve, I'm sure that you will be able to. After all, aren't Ninetales quite big?" He did actually know what it was like to be small, and hating even thinking about that time...

How much does he really understand, then?

"Hmm? Oh, Sora? Quite a bit actually. He won't really be able to understand you though. He hasn't met too many Vulpix, and those that he has were usually with a Trainer. He seems to have trouble speaking directly to Pokémon with other humans around. Me excluded, of course." There was a sense of joy about the way he said that, probably because Sora didn't care how weird he looked when he did talk to him, which made him feel good...

Just ahead, Sora was checking into the Pokémon Centre's lodging area before he went to get something to eat. He was planning to spend a night or two here, before moving on. On a bulletin board he seen a 'Missing' poster. It showed a picture of a girl. One who's blue eyes seemed strangely familiar to him, though he couldn't place where from. It showed that her name was Songrose, and that there was a cash reward for her safe return. It also listed some more details than Sora took note of, before moving on, Where have I seen those eyes...?

After getting his meal and sitting down, Sora finally looked back to the Vulpix and Quilava that were following him. Looking between them jokingly, "Are you two talking about me behind my back?" He said pointing his spoon at them accusingly...
