“Oh Taaaaaaaylor!” The teen sang cheerily into a voice message. “So, you remember that time I asked you to take my Ponyta to a Beta Island shrine to turn it into its Alolan form and it turned out I was actually thinking about its Galarian form and oh how we laughed?”

The Ponyta in question eyed her from his spot beside her, unnerved by the slightly manic behaviour. Tamara may have had a very long day at school and an awful lot of sugar.

“Well, I’ve got a lovely little Vulpix here that I need to change into its Alolan form, and I’ve triple checked that’s the right form this time.” In reality, she’d checked far more than three times, but let’s keep the crazy on the down-low for now. “And wouldn’t ya know it, I still don’t have a ferry pass yet! Would you mind…?”

Satisfied, she hit send, and grinned down at the as-yet-unnamed Vulpix, where they sat beside one of Marzipan's hooves.

Taylor had been happy enough to oblige the kid’s request, and now she found herself returning to the Wanted Board, task complete. A few taps at the board’s interface had a message send out to the blue-haired teenager, and she leaned back against the fence, settling in to wait for Tamara to arrive.
