One look at this Sentret and Zhen could tell something about her was special. He rarely found himself in the inner recess of the Ilex forest, often he felt he wasn’t permitted entry but this time he could only guess Celebi allowed him just this once. He expected to see her first but his avian gaze fell upon this small Pokemon instead.
"Wow, you're the BIGGEST Pidgey I've ever seen!!" She proclaimed paws spread wide.
“Pfft. A Pidgey,” he snorted. It wasn’t the last time he was called one and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. Tora called him a Noctowl at first. “Last I checked, I was a Ho-oh, squirt,” he said playfully. “Curious little leaf you got there.” He could feel the small leaf was brimming with power of some sort. Curiously, he wondered if Celebi decided to give the little one here a boon. It wouldn’t be unheard of for a deity to play favoritism to the young ones.
“It’s a gift! I’m a good hider!” She poofed in a cloud of smoke, only leaving a leaf behind.
Throwback, Zhen blinked. Careful not to step on it, he gave a closer inspection. A cloud of smoke as the Sentret leaped out with a cry of excitement. He was ready for it, chuckling at the Sentret placed her small paws on her beak. “Ain’t that something. Maybe Tora could learn a thing or two from you.”
“What’s a Tora? A sentret like me?”
“Well. Not exactly. But she’s small like you.” He smiled.
“A friend?!” Her teal eyes sparkled like stars. “Play?”
“Maybe someday, kid. Keep that leaf safe though. I can tell its mighty special,” he mused as he fixed the leaf slightly out of place upon her head.
“Mmm!”
