(If you get the reference(?) I am so sorry I do not know much about Mononoke despite how much I want to get into it)

Being a Ginkgo Guild Merchant was exhausting, always having a strict schedule, terrible pay, and they even gave you random junk to sell. But Volo could care less. Being a Kitsune, he had no need to worry about such trivial human matters, though he still did needed to act his role as a human. Couldn't have any of the Clans or citizens of Jubilife call for his execution now, could he? Though, despite all the amazing patrons and travelers he's sold to, they all only seem to buy potions and revives, barely any Pokeballs or whatever. It's like people didn't want anymore Pokémon than the ones they already had, or try to catch any more. That's where he got the nickname "Medicine Seller" from.

One day while you were out traveling the Coronet Highlands, you came across a weird looking Ninetales. This Ninetales only had one tail and a rather odd color. Deciding to do what you always do (catch everything), you threw a Pokéball at it. But...all it did was let out a yip and run off. That was strange, why didn't it catch?

Deciding you wanted another shot, you ran after it untill it was out of sight. Going in the direction it ran to, you looked all around as your feet moved you towards where you saw it go–

A hand grabbed yours.

"Who are you." A smooth, yet angry voice asked. Looking up, you saw a young, handsome man. His eyes were sharp and you could see something in his eyes...a look you'd only see in an Alpha Ninetales' eyes.
