Sam's newfound friend sit comfortably on her shoulder and nuzzled his new trainer. "Heh, looks like you and I are going to be getting along really well, doesn't it?" she asked the yellow and orange fox Pokémon. "Fen!" it barked back at her as if agreeing.
"I guess I should give you a name too," Sam said after Rex had named Jiraiya. She crossed her arms and put a finger to her chin in that typical fashion people might do when attempting to think really hard. She mulled over a few choice names while her Fennekin eagerly awaited the outcome. It was a tough choice, but only one really stood out.
"I'm going to call you, Vulcan," she decided. The Fennekin, now known as Vulcan, nodded his approval. It was a strong sounding that that he thought fit him rather well.
Shauna besides her was too busy hugging her new Chespin and calling him 'Cutie' to be too worried about the things going on around her. Sam shook her head and returned her attention to the rest of the group. Professor Sycamore? She heard of the name once on the news, but other than that since moving to Kalos she didn't have much knowledge on the subject.
"So, is Professor Sycamore the resident Pokémon genius and researcher in Kalos?" she inquired more curious about the man that was also apparently Rex's uncle.
