Keeping his cheerful expression, the Swampert responds in a deep, bassy voice with an excited undertone. "No problem, buddy. You're a human, aren't you?" Hearing his voice leaves you speechless and unable to quit staring into his eyes apathetically.
"Hey, come on, don't be scared. I won't bite, alright? You know, you should be careful around here, the mud is not even the most dangerous threat out here... there are creatures that aren't as... docile as me."
His voice somehow transports a soothing, positive energy. You inhale a huge chunk of air, heave a relieved sigh and stand up. Could it be that this giant really has noble intentions? Or will it just try to devour you, like that Growlmon from earlier? Something has sparked your trust. With a smile, the giant creature draws his hand closer to his face, almost causing you to stumble. Carefully, you approach him, feeling the steady breath out of his huge nostrils. After some steps, you're able to reach out your arm and touch the giant's face with your shaking hand, just some inches above his mouth. Once you ensured the Pokemon won't pull you away or somehow interrupt your gesture, you take another step, and let your other arm and cheek follow, gently hugging the giant's face.
A grin forms just underneath your arms, causing you to take a step back.
"Hehe... actually, you're kind of cute. So tiny..." He gently nudges you with his finger. This time you stumble and land on your bottom, followed by another nudge and a playful chuckle from the Swampert.
"Seems like you could need someone to take care of you. As I said, there are serious dangers out there. I could protect you, if you want. And don't worry, I already told you, I don't bite. What do you think, small one?" His sentence is followed by an inviting smile. He seems to like you.
Flattered by his offer, you almost instinctively agree. But before you can raise your voice, a negative thought emerges. What if he is trying to fool you and only intents to turn you into an aimless toy? And what happens when he gets hungry and is unable to quell his instincts?
All of a sudden, his smile turns into a more serious expression, eagerly expecting an answer from you. You take a few seconds to come up with an appropriate response.
