I had a bit of a nostalgia trip when I was browsing random videos on YouTube and, for whatever reason, a series of Pokémon-related shorts came up in the "Recommended for You" listings. As noted before, I've long since stopped being a fan, but even I'll admit I have a soft spot for a number of the Mons. Truth be told, I didn't mind those segments where it was essentially just the creatures themselves interacting and having fun. It probably helped that these segments also involved a good number of the Pocket Monsters I still like, from Eevee and its kin to good ol' Pikachu.

I remembered this little creature as it popped up in some of the shorts, having an affinity for foxes. In a Christmas-themed short, it got its head cutely stuck in a stocking and was the first out of the group to realize that party hats go on your head. Another clip from the animē showed a Vulpix abruptly yet casually burning the crap out of that redhead, and then jumping back to go to sleep. Then again, if my nap was interrupted by some unwanted guest squeeing over me, I'd probably be a bit annoyed too. Nevertheless, Vulpix was adorable, so this picture came to be. The captions are taken from its identification and description given in said clip.

There was also a note of how Vulpix "uses powerful flame attacks". You don't say?
