Oooooh so that's where your from, near Mount Takamagahara. [He paused to scratch his cheek for a moment. Not up on his geography, he legitimately wasn't sure if there were any sizable cities near there. It always conjured up thoughts of vast wilderness.]

Thanks. [He offered her a smile for her efforts and soon shoved everything back into the bag, except for the ball. In a way, she kinda reminds him of one of his sisters] A map? You sure one would fit in here? Ha. What do we have to lose? [Per her instructions, he found the button and pressed it down. The ball did open but what came out was a living breathing creature that logically could not have fit inside the thing.]

This can't be real, can it?! [He reached out to poke the Fennekin but it startled and snapped at his finger] It feels pretty real.. [ He grimaced then proceeded to retrieve his now smarting digit.] Geeze.. it looks like Sketch and acts like him too.... maybe you should try yours?
