The sniffing wasn’t necessary, not for Mew. Their senses were far more keen than that… doesn’t stop them from doing so though… just to play. Got to say though, this man is quite bold. Chariard aren’t typically very friendly, nor are they often found in the wild… they’re usually very territorial and aggressive…
But this man gives the aura of a more kind-hearted human… not just a calm ‘front’ some humans give off when confronted with a large Pokemon such as themself. He seems to delight in this, if that smile is any indication.
Wonder how he would react if they transformed?
Maybe in a bit, they’ll do that. But for now– Mew leans towards the hand offered to them, sniffing it. Their tail sways a bit, not a characteristic common in Charizard, and their wings drooped. The Pokemon takes a step back, turning slightly. They lower their body a bit, stretching out a wing.
Mew is inviting Kabu to climb onto them! Go for a flight! (Going to give him a fun little spook)
Kabu could feel the warm breath of the giant lizard on his gloved hand, careful not to get too close to touch it. Of course, there were still pressing questions in his mind; where the pokemon came from, why it was so friendly, and whether or not it was a wild pokemon or not. Still, if the creature was going to stay around, he would do his best to make it feel welcome.
Its mannerisms were certainly peculiar, but the Gym Leader did not have a lot of knowledge of the Kantonian Lizard to tell. He was, however, surprised to see the pokemon lowering itself. As if it was beckoning Kabu.
❝ You would... like me to climb your back? ❞ It sounded dangerous, but the opportunity was too rare to say no! Kabu gives a curt bow as a thank you towards the Charizard. ❝ I will do my best to hold on, haha. ❞ He takes a step, hands carefully climbing onto the other’s back.
