Hark only gave a snort when Zeke got up, shaking his head. Definitely a mix of both cat and dog, it seemed, although he could have done without the bolt of lightning which woke up his new friend who was now terrified and hiding under the kerchief, trembling.
Great.
Needless to say, he was glad when Rebecca came back, and blinked at the flat object, ears perking when she said it was her Pokedex. That would definitely help!
But, before he got the chance to thank her after taking the device, Zeke claimed her as his pillow once again, making him laugh. Yep, definitely between the two.
“I suggest you don’t move too much, he’s getting grumpy,” was what Hark started with before waving the ‘Dex a bit. “And thank you. This will be tremendously useful. I have no idea how many there are, but having the data on me will be nice. I’d rather not have a headache over it.”
That was when the young Wurmple crawled partially out from underneath the handkerchief, almost fleeing back underneath it when Hark’s hand found its head.
And his tone softened along with smile, a finger gently petting the side of the caterpillar’s face.
“Hey, it’s okay. There’s no danger. Zeke is calm now, see?”
Before he gently took the Wurmple and put him on his shoulder.
“It’s okay. I’m right here. He won’t hurt you.”
And the young pokemon snuck into the crook of his neck, making him chuckle as he spoke a little higher, to Rebecca.
“So, is there a way to connect the Pokedex to an outside device?”
At Hark’s comment, she pointed to her raised hair with a quirked eyebrow and and grumble as Zeke slept on.
“I figured. A grumpy Zeke is like walking around with a dryer strapped to your back.”
“And I sure hope it’ll help, I’ve got a ton of entries in there already.”
Rebecca listened to Hark talking to the tiny Pokemon with a warm smile on her face before the other asked his question.
“There’s a USB port on the bottom, it’s how the regional professor checks your ‘dex.”
