Oh, yeah, definitely cuter than a sloth. But then, a lot of Pokemon are cuter than the animals we have back in Nua. Have you seen a Pachirisu yet? It's like a big squirrel, but it's blue, and their tails are somehow even fluffier than a normal squirrel's! I have one, she's such a sweetheart.

[ She's half tempted to bring Patches out just to show her off, but she just got done a big battle, so she's resting, and Rainer doesn't want to disturb her. ]

Oh, no, don't worry about it! I'm not in any hurry to get anywhere![ She holds her hands out for a shake. ] I don't think I've seen you around before. My name's Rainer!
