## How She's Changed

In The Pals early comics, she was a rough drawing of a Vulpix with oval tails. She didn't have a lot of scenes, but was considered a "friend" rather than a best bud at the time. She belonged to Anson before Isaiah knew. Vulpix then had her age start off at 7. Vulpix had the Birdo-like voice only going "Vul!" She sounded like an early Iceberg, but Iceberg sounded higher pitched since she was considered "younger" at the time. Vulpix not only had a weird voice, her head-shape was also formal, not squished.

In Poképals Remastered, Vulpix had an upgrade with her tails more curly. She also had a shrink-spert as Isaiah then changed her age to 1. Vulpix was cuter and was showing off her love. That time, every Pokémon had bulked mouths except Popplio, Butterfree and Chikorita. Vulpix was higher pitched but still had the Birdo-like voice then. Vulpix's head shape from here to current is squished to look young. Her head is also accidentally floppier. Vulpix was owned by Isaiah at the time.

In Poképals 2021, Vulpix lost her bulk, along with new eye styles over the episodes. She was 2 here, but by the time April came, she turned 3! Vulpix grew floof on her cheeks and tummy, along with patched split legs to keep cute. Iceberg sounded more cute. Vulpix sounded more squeaky than last time to sound cuter.

In Poképals Journeys, which was nearly cancelled, Vulpix reached a new voice again, as she sounded a tiny bit deeper but still cute. Her "Yaah" is still at the same pitch from 2021. Vulpix's hair and tail turned pink to make sure she looked younger. She reached moments where sometimes, she showed off her baby eyes, which dragged attention toward the team and even other strangers.

In the Isaiah and Sherbert series, Vulpix is a bit more mature and didn't cry much, but still acts very cutely. She's acquired a brand new pink V-neck shirt responding to Isaiah's "I ❤ Vulpix", with hers saying "I ❤ Isaiah" with a big exclamation point.

Late 2022 unlocked a big difference on details for characters. Vulpix's hair is no longer curled and acts like a fluffy part of her. Her tails are still curled but they're fluffier than before, and her mouth adds more detail. Overall, Vulpix is the cutest Pokémon you'll ever remember!

2023's arrival of The Poképals: Invasion of the Metal Virus gives her fluffier hair, with an improved performance in learning that she is no longer afraid. She's more determined, reflecting all her past decisions before finally making her mind to start training.

## First Training Day!

In August 16, 2022, Vulpix finally decided to train with Isaiah, along with the helpful assistants Fennekin and Tito. Since then, she's been learning to use her Tackle, Pounce, and Blaze attacks. Currently, her most powerful attack is Blaze, which does an approximate of 23 damage.

### Attack Difference Depending On Body Temperature

Vulpix has a different range of using her Blaze attack. When she's normal temperature, her attack is normal strength. However, this differs. When she's cold, her attack is weak, but when she's hot, her attack is stronger. On September 28, 2022, after soaking in the sun for 6 hours, she had a temperature of 21°C. That time when she showed her attack to Isaiah, her Blaze was very powerful and large, surprising him.

#### Moments Lead To Disaster

As of now, and during the tournament, her Blaze attack got a bit too far, and is too strong to handle for any matchup, bringing her to the very final by mistake. Her blaze attacks temperature is currently at a whopping 110°C!! That's way too much for a youngster like Vulpix!

### Now Used As A Speed Boost

In The Poképals: Invasion of the Metal Virus, her Blaze attack is now used as a speed booster to help her fight off the infection during the situation. It also helps other infected people fight theirs off as well.

## First Battle - Sortles Tournament 2 - 2022

### Round of 32

In the 2022 Sortles Tournament, Vulpix fell back in the first round against her teammate, Flygon, however, she used her damaging Blaze attack and won in the final results, 80-78, which is 2 points off! Close one!

### Round of 16

Her next match with Reufy wasn't a hot start, but again, her Blaze attack in the second round caused her to win 62-54 in total.

### Quarter Finals

Next, Vulpix went up against Briana, the swimming pool ball dinosaur. At the first, Briana would barely beat Vulpix 70-68, but in the second round, the Blaze attack would total the scores 144-142 with a two point difference again!

### Semi Finals

Her second last round is against Brittney, an Ender Dragon member of the Magical Warriors. Now at this point, her Blaze attack is uncontrollable, winning both rounds on accident with a score of 68-50.

### Finals...Nope!

Vulpix was hoping to not have a bad matchup, but she got one, against Isaiah. She gave up and was upset, crying a whole lot. Isaiah didn't like how she was feeling at all, so he tried to get the Tournament Matchup to cancel Vulpix's win, so that Brittney from the semi final will play against him instead. It was successful, and the game started on November 16, 2022.
