Hayden | Mount Ember
The first thought that entered Hayden's mind upon hearing Montel speak was: Wait, what?
Hayden had to be pushed forward into the group— he thought it was Kristine who did it, but maybe it was Jason— as he was more than a bit shocked at being singled out. Again. Thankfully those few stumbled steps were enough to get him out where he thought he needed to be.
Apparently not, as Montel beckoned him forward. Hayden took the required steps towards the chief and the Legendary pokemon. Kaze squirmed, forcing Hayden to put him down. The fox pokemon cautiously went up to Moltres, not quite daring to sniff him directly.
The legendary pokemon bent its head to be beat-to-nose with the Vulpix. It was then Hayden noticed something odd about its eyes. But he knew pulling out a pokedex would be a Bad Idea.
After a few moments, Moltres opened its mouth and let a cloud of blue-white, glowing gas flow over Kaze. Hayden's eyes widened as Kaze was completely covered by the legendary's breath. He didn't seem to be hurt by the gas— if anything, he looked frozen in awe. Or shock. Hayden hoped it was the former.
As the cloud dissipated, Kaze shook out his fur and seemed to be back to normal. Even the dark patches on his fur from the hexes were gone.
Hayden look back at Montel, who nodded. The trainer looked back to Kaze.
"Wilowhisp," he said a bit too quietly.
Kaze still heard. He lifted his head and let out a plume of blue-white flame straight up into the air. The light generated from the blast was bright enough to illuminate the whole area, almost outshining Moltres' flames in the process. The crowd burst into cheers, bringing a smile out of pokemon and trainer.
When the display was finished, Hayden crouched down and let Kaze run to him. As the crowd kept cheering and chanting, Moltres having taken to the air once again, Hayden stood and hoisted the fox pokemon onto his shoulder as another reward.
"Don't get used to this," he muttered to just Kaze.
A rather crestfallen "Vul-pix" was his only answer.
