So much had happened since returning from Hearteater. Josh had spent so much time rearranging his team that he had forgotten he had moved his Huge Seal off Braver's Poké Ball, and he brought no other ride Pokémon with him -- not one that he had trained for it! Such was the drawback of having such a wide roster. Losing track of what Seals were on which Pokémon was far too easy. He was already keeping Alkaid waiting at Armarouge's Armaments and didn't want to delay much further.
Retrieving hisFIRE STONEfrom his inventory, Josh clicked open Braver's Poké Ball, the Growlithe eying the red rock with wide eyes. "You're gonna get really big when you evolve; I'm gonna loosen your saddle a few notches," he gave the dog a pet, the fire-type calm despite the now-too-large saddle covering his entire body and then some.
Once he made the needed adjustments, the boy touched the stone to his Pokémon's head. The Pokémon glowed brilliant reds and whites, more than doubling in size as he transformed into a hulking Arcanine that was nearly double the boy's height. He had done a good job estimating, but the saddle was still on a little too tight. It was serviceable, and Braver seemed willing to put up with it for now. "Wow, I didn't think you would be this big!" the boy gasped, looking up at the majestic creature. "You're gonna have to sit down for me to get on your back now!" Even after complying with his request, climbing the Arcanine's back was a challenge.
Once he was situated, the boy rode toward the rendezvous point he and Alkaid had agreed upon -- not far from Armarouge's Armaments' front door. "Hey there!" he waved, looking awkward seated on the enormous dog that now looked too large for him. "I never thought I would need to invest in a Tiny Seal, but here we are!"
