A lesser man might have quailed in the face of the terrifying serpent's glare. To the pokémon professor's utter amazement, Lysandre stood his ground, returning the gyarados' gaze with those unblinking azure eyes. He was made of sterner stuff than Augustine, in any case. Said professor hardly dared to peep from where he crouched trembling behind a boulder.
After several tense moments, the dragonlike pokémon finally blinked, pushing his massive head into his trainer's chest with a warm growl. Lysandre scratched the creature's hard blue crest briefly before turning to his friend's hiding spot with a sigh.
"Professor, must we go through with this every time I let the poor beast out? Giovanni would not hurt a fly unless at my command, much less 'chomp off' your 'petit derrière,' as you so eloquently put it."
