Notes: I had some trouble deciding on markings for these two; in my head Dirfox was just a swift fox with psychic powers for a long time, but a photo of a golden retriever that had waded shoulder-deep in mud gave me an idea. It occurs to me that these two scaredy pups might need a big, mean roadrunner friend.
A Soiote is used by the ground-type gym leader, Tierra, in Chapter 3 , and Russell catches a Dirfox in Chapter 5 .
