Hark blinked, trying to understand why Zeke was acting like he was. This was not normal cat behavior. In fact…
It was closer to a dog.
A dog who didn’t want their master hurt, from the words and the looks Rebecca was giving. Did it really think that he would hurt her? But she…
It didn’t know, that much was obvious, but from the way the master made her way to it…
The happy chitters of the Wrumple coming out of its hiding place got him to hesitantly smile as his ears slowly unfolded, hand carefully going behind the horn to gently scratch before speaking softly.
“How did you get to meet Zeke?”
That threw the champion off a little, causing the giant Legendary to growl a bit before melting under the scratches.
“It’s kind of a long story but I’ll try to shorten it as much as I can. It needs some context, ya see. It all started ten years ago when me and my friends, Cheren and Bianca, started on our journeys together…”
Rebecca softly recounted the Plasma incident, kneeling on the ground while she gently pet the giant Legendary. When she got to the part where she was injured, she went quiet for a bit. She must have been quiet for too long, because Zeke promptly plopped his head on her lap with a huff.
The champion smiled and quietly kept going, a hand ghosting over her headphones.
“I was injured badly in what should have been the final attack on Team Plasma, however I managed to call Zeke here before I passed out. He pretty much destroyed the Plasma castle and he flew me to the hospital. He’s been like this ever since, never could figure out why either.”
Zeke let out another huff, blowing Rebecca’s bangs out of her face and causing her to chuckle.
