Back in her home region, Perrin the photographer marches towards Snowpoint City, crossing Routes 216 and 217 along the way. A fierce snowstorm leads her astray, obscuring her vision, but luckily for her, a Pokémon she had never seen in the area before guides her towards a warm cabin, where she and her Pokémon spend the night safely.

She hadn't been able to see it admist the foggy precipitation, but the next morning, upon seeing it waiting for her outside, she discovers it was a Typhlosion. However... this was no ordinary one.

Quickly she recognized it as a Hisuian one, similar to her Growlithe. She befriended the kind Pokémon, and thanks to it helping her trasverse a lonely Route 217, she found no problem with the cold. But still, a question plagued her mind...

The night arrived once more, and thus the time to part ways, as they were nearing Acuity Lakefront, which the photographer could take from there by herself. Perrin decides to accompany it back to its hidden den, and notices there's no one else there with it.

''Where's your family?'', she asks. The Typhlosion's expression turned forlorn, its eyes reflecting a loneliness so painful it made Perrin's hands tremble.

She had encountered the last living Hisuian Typhlosion.
