#they know that scientists can be bad and harmfull and they don't know them unlike Kukui and yeah they trust the professor

[alolanrain]

After the SM series, imagine Kukui and Burnet's colleagues decided to visit them.

One of them asked "Hey, Kukui. Where's that Rockruff that you've been taking care of?"

Imagine everyone's surprise when they found out that the Rockruff not only finally evolved, but also in a new (and unexpected) evolutionary form.

i have like one or two posts talking about this subject, made like month's ago or of either more or less time, but I've never really fully describe why these scientists should go buck shit feral over Ash's lycanroc.

it's a whole new form and that's not on top of the fact that 1) tapu Lele was there along with Kahuna Olivia 2) it happened during/after a green flash 3) the other two original forms of lycanroc were there and they tried to save Rockruff from Tapu Lele from beating its ass 4) KUKUI WAS FUCKING THERE

they are salivating and growling asking why the hell he didn't bring the Lycanroc to the shared lab space near hau'oli City. only for Kukui to confess that he'd rather have all his body parts in tact, thank you very much. their all confused on why Kukui would think such a thing before the Professor points to where Ash had been sitting. in clear view and who has seen everything.

he's reclined back in the chair/sofa (depending on where you want to imagine him placed around the shack) with said mention Lycanroc sitting between his legs, tail slightly hitting the ground because Ash is carding his hand through the Pokémon's fur. Litten halfway chilling on the chair with his upper half loafed on Ash's leg, eyes calculating and cold despite being a fire type as it traced each humans face over and over again. Pikachu-ever the right hand 'mon-was balanced perfectly on Ash's shoulder that was opposite of Litten, his own eyes pinned to Kukui and nothing but Kukui like he was waiting for the man to make a move. Rowlets just fucking knocked out on top of Ash's head like normal.

though none of this takes away the absolute rage in Ash's eyes. head gently tilting back as a controlled nod of hello without dislodging the Pokémon on top of him. face screaming Find Out and daring the scientist to Fuck Around.
