Don't you think it's just the most perfect name for him?
[The Charmander shyly takes his namesake in from behind the bar of claws, before he's momentarily distracted by Ivy scratching under his chin. The fire type makes a pleased purring noise and swings its tail.]
Such an adorably shy, handsome boy.
[She croons at it and places a kiss on its snout. 'Newt' gives a happy cry and settles against her like a child with its mother, still blinking large blue eyes at big!Newt.]
[This is both the cutest thing he's witnessed in some time and the most embarrassing, in a way. He can definitely understand why Ivy picked the name she did and he's flattered, truly.
He just...this woman. She's going to be the death of him.]
Yes he--it does seem to suit him very well.
[Beside him, Queenie giggles behind her paws, amused at her trainer's reaction. When Ivy calls things are always amusing!]
[Armin breathes out on a soft, thoughtful noise, his brows furrowing a bit.]
Jean and I did consider that Pokemon might be behind this. [Though they had been thinking of possible legendary Pokemon being the cause.] Have you seen them do anything except try and come close? Anything else that might be out of the ordinary?
[ A picture is contained in this message. It is of a Pichu, with a clearly carved shiv in a stab motion. She is standing over what looks to be a destroyed flower, with a horrified and furious Floette in the background. ]

I have heard that Drowzees have been stalking individuals during the night, staring in through windows and using their abilities from the sound of it. Several of the Phantumps we've encountered have tried to get close but my companions have been rather adamant about keeping them away. I am not entirely certain why but I think they're attempting to do something with their own abilities.
