Brock looked mildly amused, "A Pika Girl? I can tell from the ears." He chuckled, poking an ear. Lulu appeared slightly confused; he didn't believe she was part Pikachu. She reached over to pet the Vulpix, but Brock seemed concerned about that. "I wouldn't; she doesn't like being touched by strangers." Her original language poured from her mouth, and the Vulpix looked up in surprise, then lifted its head to her awaiting hand. Brock stared in fascination, "No way...."<br/><br/>He then glanced up at Josh, "Well, if you're a trainer, then you probably want to battle me at some point for the Boulder Badge, huh?"
