It was a dark, stormy night. The muffled rumbling of thunder caused the house to shake as rain lashed at the windows endlessly. Colossal bolts of lightning flashed in the distance as the occasional shadowy figure of a powerful Pokemon could be seen for a split second in the gray clouds.

"Bark, bark!"

A couple of loud, playful barks echoed through the house, originating from a specific dog Pokemon begging for attention in the living room.

"Woof, woof, bark! Whine..."

Inside, the Arcanine was flat on his back, sculpted belly exposed as his eyes looked to you expectantly. The muscular dog barked once more to get you to rub its exposed stomach.
