"Sirfectch'd, the Wild Duck Pokémon. Only Farfetch'd that have survived many battles can attain this evolution. When this Pokémon's leek withers, it will retire from combat." – Pokédex entry for Sirfetch'd.

"Kumiko, remember that time we helped out that girl with a talking Sirfetch'd find a missing mascot suit?" Reina asked her girlfriend. "That was something I never expected to do, especially before going to the HTT concert. Upon looking back at what happened, it seems so comical compared to everything else we've been through."

"You mean Tamako and Dela?" Kumiko clarified. For some reasons, their names seemed to really stick inside her mind. "How could I forget that? Meeting them and their friend did seem out of their place now that you mention it, but it really helped to serve as a breather between challenging the Subdomi City Gym and facing HTT right after that."

"I'd have to agree with you." Reina nodded her head. "Without something more relaxing like that in between, I don't think I would be able to fight two big battles like those one day after the other. However, achieving the endurance to do so is another step towards becoming special, which is why I must strive to overcome my own limitations and be the best that I can be."
