Mimikyu didn't feel all that comfortable hanging around the majority of Pokemon. She felt like many of them would question why she chose to disguise herself as the much more well known Pikachu, wondering if she had self esteem problems. Volcanion, however, who most Pokemon forgot was even present, seemed to be the only one who would comfort Mimikyu, as he could tell why Mimikyu would act shy. Pokemon did not question the judgement of Volcanion, for they know he could blast them with hot water, or burning flames.
Mimikyu felt more comfortable around Volcanion, feeling enlightened by the way he would provide steam for any Pokemon to enjoy. This did wonders in making her feel comfortable... but it wasn't enough to show off her true being. Volcanion could tell that there was more than meets the eye when it came to Mimikyu, with the shadowy hand holding her 'tail' often having an additional one popping up to help fix it. He wouldn't question it as any Pokemon would, for Mimikyu would often attack in retaliation as a result. But the two would spend time with each other as they found comfort in each other, especially Mimikyu, who felt appreciated in not being judged by another Pokemon.
