She's pretty big for being a baby! [Katara grins, excited, how fitting! A water type he'd said, and it made sense with the description. She hugs Lapras's nose a bit when she gets close enough, then rubs the top of it gently.] I'm Katara, I guess we're partners now, huh girl?

[The Lapras' response is to sort of bay happily, then carefully swing her head towards Heiji and bump her nose against his hand. She's friendly and harmless to anyone that isn't causing problems for Katara.]

That makes our Pokemon opposite types though, doesn't it? I hope she isn't making him nervous.
