Vi

As the Zeraora/Zekrom hybrid approaches Lief and Pikavee, her gene splicer necklace sways with each step.

Picking Lief up by the scruff, she leans in and gives him a sniff before putting him down

"So you're the little rascal I've been hearing about?"

"Thought you'd be, more.."

She seems slightly disappointed, but turns to Pikavee to ask her question anyways

"So, I was curious about where you sleep at night at that size and how you even keep from starving?"

[ ID: A sequence of three grayscale drawings. The first panel shows Vi picking up Lief, with the Zeraora hybrid being so much taller that he dangles in her grip. The second panel shows Vi raising Lief close to sniff him with intense interest, as Lief quivers anxiously in response. The third panel shows Pikavee with her ears tilted back, looking uncomfortable by this. End ID ]

Having froze up upon suddenly being lifted this way, Lief turned and hurriedly stepped away from Vi as he was put back down, nearly stumbling over himself.

His fur briefly stood on end. He was staring up with wide eyes. Then he straightened his posture in some attempt to regain composure, and responded.

Lief: “N-next time, watch the scarf…”

He growled under his breath like he didn’t entirely want Vi to hear him. He proceeded to fiddle with and readjust his scarf with an agitated expression, taking a couple more steps away from her.

As for Pikavee, she was clearly unnerved by this display. She spoke with a low voice at Vi, her ears lying backwards somewhat.

Pikavee: “F-first off. That wasn’t very nice.”

Her face, which seemed to border very lightly on anger, quickly faded into her usual timid disposition, though. She averted her eyes from the Zeraora hybrid–she swore she felt something more from Vi, something she hadn’t felt from any Pokemon she met before.

Pikavee: “A-and, um… I sleep outside. B-but I prefer it. The stars at night are really nice.”

[ ID: A grayscale bust drawing of Pikavee slightly angled away from the viewer towards the left. She appears somewhat concerned or timid, and her eyes are downcast. Her ears are drooped down. Pikavee’s appearance is as described here. End ID ]

Pikavee: “My human usually feeds me those pokebeans. They sell them in different sizes in Sciliva, and they're pretty cheap. I eat the extra large ones.”

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Pikavee similar to the previous image. She has a light smile, and her eyes are closed. A subtle blush is present on her cheeks, shown in color. Her ears are upright. End ID ]

Pikavee: “But I was given different things, sometimes. Like chocolate…~”

Her previous unease went away at the mere mention of her favorite food. Now she was smiling somewhat giddily and softly purring.

Lief: “What the–”

Hearing this sound was surprising enough for him, but feeling her purring cause vibrations in the ground?

Granted, he was standing pretty close to her, but still. To say it put things into perspective for him would be an understatement.

[ ID: A grayscale bust drawing of Lief oriented similarly to the previous image. He looks shocked, or fearful. A couple of sweat drops are present on his face. His mouth is somewhat agape and shaky. Lief’s appearance is as described here. End ID ]

Lief: “I-is that you purring, Missy??”
