I have noticed an almost doglike eagerness to please, it's true. There is nothing I have asked of this small foal that has not been promptly attempted.

[Attempted. Which suggests he's asked some things that a blitzle simply can't do. Nonetheless, his pleasant if somewhat detached tone never wavers.]

Perhaps I will have to test her strength against the local wildlife soon, then. A stronger ally is always useful. Although I have the information given to presumably everyone upon arrival, I must ask; as a new arrival yourself, is there anything you would advise, or advise against, by way of attempting to train a pokemon properly?
