Ponyta played with Growlithe when she noticed she was being followed. She'd run up to him, and run away, and paw at him with her hoof. She wouldn't let him jump on her, but she was happy to have a playmate.

"Professor Rowan, yes. Like all professors, he's rather esteemed, and he's very active in his age. I guess I should check in on him too, and show him the new pokemon from other regions. I went to Hoenn. It's very warm there. My name is Cody Streetman, from Solaceon. I'll be heading back there at one point to see Mom again. I may be 11 already, but I still miss her."
