Sandy smiled at Stomp. "Excellent!" she exclaimed, simultaneously praising him for his apparent special attack strength and for her luck. "Sorry to use you like a lighter right off the bat, but could you use Ember on these sticks? That way we can cook some ramen up."

She really was excited. It seemed Stomp was about a Level 10 or perhaps even a quick learner. That was much stronger than many starter Pokemon, she knew. And with the strength of the Ember he portrayed, he could very well be strongest in those sorts of attacks. The downside is if his Special Attack was very high, then his Special Defense might not be as high and that was bad when it came to his weakness for water, earth, and rock attacks.

Kuro settled herself down in Nazo's lap, purring and kneading his thigh. She was pleased he thought so well of her. She only deserved the best trainer and it seemed she had gotten that very person. And he seemed like the type to keep her well fed and well groomed, as she should be kept.
