Snowpoint Temple
The real Snorunt broke away from the copies, who stood in place, and went up to Koishi.
"Get us out of here before they stop infighting." the Snorunt said.
Koishi picked up the little fella and started running, leaping over the ice instead of dealing with it. She rushed up the steps and out of the temple, panting as she stepped out into the snow, where it still sparkled. The duplicates were probably faded by now, and the two both hoped that the two were still fighting, lest they have to face them again.
The walk to the Pokemon Center was quiet. Too quiet, if you asked Koishi. Not a rustling of the wind, and only to sound of her feet crunching snow filled the air. Koishi would find what was down there one day, but not today. Night was very close at hand, and piercing eyes of nocturnal pokemon could be seen in the trees, simply staring in intrigue at the duo.
Eventually, they reached the center, heading up the escalator and heading into the rented out room. She set the Snorunt on the counter, and she lied down in her bed.
"Is it later now?" Koishi asked.
The Snorunt fidgeted around a little. "I guess."
"So you can talk. How?" Koishi asked.
"All of us pokemon can talk, you humans just have to listen." the Snorunt explained.
"But i'm not human." Koishi started. "I'm a youkai."
"Never heard of it." the Snorunt replied. "Actually, I don't think I ever caught your name."
Koishi smiled. "Mine's Koishi. Nice to met you, little fella."
"Could you stop calld me that, just call me Snorunt or somethin'." the Snorunt retorted, an annoyed tone in it's voice.

"But that's your species, ain't it? How about....." Koishi made a thinking pose for a moment, looking out the window at the snow. "Snow?"
The Snorunt turned away for a moment, revealing the little diamond shapes on it's back, before turning back. "Yeah, I think that'll do."
"Well, I think it's about time we get some shut-eyes, don't ya think lit.. I mean, Snow." Koishi chuckled a little bit at her own screw up.
"Okay then. You have your little bed, I have my little bed." Snow said.
"Good night." Koishi said, tucking herself in.
"Good night." Snow responded, dropping down from the counter onto the small bed Kosihi made for her.
Koishi turned off the light, and both of them went to sleep.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.
