"Gah", Alice squeaked  in surprise when all of a sudden a big Arcanine and easily scooped her off the ground and embraced her into a giant hug, her face smothered into a chest full of fluff. In a few moments she popped her head up to look up at the pokemon that chose her, pouting a little at being called little but let it slide for once. "Umm hi there", she said having just entered the room and did not see the display earlier between the other pokemon and trainer. "You sure are a big one, I'm Alice, what's your name?" she asked, he was big and to others he may have been scary but she could see already by his aura alone that he meant no harm of the sort, it would probably be odd to him that she wasn't afraid then again she was an odd girl.
