Terrified. That was how Hark felt as the humongous Pokemon neared him, trying to sniff him out. He wasn’t used to this. He wasn’t used to something alive being this big, nor this curious.
In fact, only Rebecca’s words reassured him, reminding him of a master and its pet, and slowly made him come out of his hiding place. It was trying to place an odor on him? With him sticking him close to Rebecca and his new clothes, it probably couldn’t…
Slowly, hesitantly, he took off his hat and shed his trench coat before stepping out from behind Rebecca, ears flattening, of course, but getting close enough for Zeke to take a whiff as he felt the Wrumple skitter from his shoulder to his back.
Yep, Hark was glad Zeke wasn’t cranky. Thunderclouds or not, he wasn’t sure he ever wanted to see something this big angry.
Rebecca took only a single glance at Hark before softly huffing, mirroring Zeke’s deadpan expression when the giant Legendary looked back at her.
“Zeke, if you don’t play nice, I’m going to ban you from Pechas.”
That wiped Zeke’s deadpan expression off his face and there was suddenly a whining noise. Rebecca raised an eyebrow, nodding her head towards Hark.
“Don’t give me that look, ya lazy bum. Play. Nice.”
The ancient Legendary huffed before promptly plopping on the ground in front of Hark. Rebecca squatted down and gently scratched under Zeke’s horns, giving Hark a bright smile as the Legendary melted under her scratches.
“Go ahead and give Zeke a scritch, hun. He’s definitely not gonna bite. Just be gentle and don’t scratch too hard.”
