So, I restarted my Fire Red game. Finished it through and then transferred all of the Pokemon I gave a damn about from Fire Red to Diamond. One of these Pokemon was a level 18 Growlithe, affectionately nicknamed "Envy".

Long story short, I trained him and trained him, gave him a Firestone and evolved him into a glorious, regal looking Arcanine. He has successfully clawed his way up to the very top of my heart. I love him as much as I love my prized gal, Walrein, who long ago reached level 100 and has been through a total of three different game versions until reaching Diamond where she plans to stay...at least for now. ;3

Anyway, yeah, I'm obsessed with all things Arcanine now and practically worship my lovely boy, Envy. <3

Cheers to climbing up to level 45 and filling my heart you good not-so-little Arcanine. :3 <33
