[Laila in the meanwhile just tilts her head to the side, similar to how Maka has been feeling...this whole encounter.

わかりません。。。？

Her too, Laila.]

The current isn't strong here, besides Hana wouldn't have let you stay under for very long I bet.

[Uh. She hopes? Maybe?

Oh, never mind, if he's asking about it Maka's going to show by example--stepping back to give some space as the Arcanine she then lets out is yet another rather large Pokemon.

(Tiny girl keeps large Pokemon, it's almost stereotypical enough to be charming.)]

Argos. [The dog shakes itself off, sitting heavily to the ground with an eager WOOF! The thing radiates heat so obviously Maka doesn't have to actively command it to lend its fire power.] This is Karamatsu and Hana, Karamatsu needs help with drying off, okay? [The answer via tail thudding to the ground seems to show that Argos is more than willing to assist.]

[karappo]

[Oh wow, hello there, Argos. Karamatsu gives a low whistle, sizing him up with the expression of a person who has clearly not been around long enough to see everything Johto has to offer. And...he's never seen a dog the size of a small horse, either.]

Ah...good to meet you, Argos. What kind of Pokemon is this?

[soundmind]

Eh, he's an Arcanine, they evolve from Growlithe. I've had him since he was very small.

[So that's probably why Maka doesn't bat an eye when the dog just...flops to the ground with a shaking THUD and proceeds to roll onto his back.]

He does that. You can pet him if you want.

[karappo]

[To his credit, Karamatsu only hesitates briefly before stepping over to pat the big dog on the head. That's pretty much what this is, right? A big dog...that breathes fire...]

He's amazing! He looks like a tiger, almost...

[He's...beautiful.

...hmmm.]

Where did you get him, if you've had him for so long?

[soundmind]

Growlithe can be found on Route 35--that's between Goldenrod and Violet. You shouldn't have any problem finding them since they don't exactly blend in, do they?

[Argos ain't have a care in the world about that, happily accepting attention like the oversized puppy he is.]

You can also find Vulpix there, they're another good option for Fire types, though Growlithe end up stronger.
