[quote=@Mike the Bloodwolf]Ice fox chuckled and said "Strength in mind is good too, but I wonder if the big bad wolf could handle a cute fox in battle"[/quote]
"You want a battle?  You'll get one!" Zoro rebutted, noting to himself to ask Ice Fox or his trainer what a wolf was as he had not heard of any Pokémon who could truly be described as lupine.  He got Shiranui's attention and imitated a trainer opening a Poké Ball.  It didn't take Shiranui long to put two and two together about Zoro's antics
"Sashia, looks like Zoro and Ice Fox here are about to have a battle of their own," stated Shiranui.
