[Honestly, he picked Cyndaquil to match the rest of his friends -- Silver had Totodile, Kotone had Chikorita, so he was the last piece of their trio.

Too bad it's kind of hard to train... Not as hard as Chikorita, but still hard. [Bakudachi resents that claim!! ... But he'll take it, along with a soothing headrub.] I don't mind, of course, and Kotone-kun's Chikorita ended up evolving into a super powerful Meganium that even floors my time without any effort... Silver-kun's Feraligatr is a lot easier to beat, even though we're at a type disadvantage.

[Hmm.]
