>>16835144Raikou steps up to the fox's body, threatening an immediate termination with a low growl, his relentless power fueled only by the fact that his relevance in the metaverse is consistently overshadowed by his beastly brethren.
"RAAAAAAAAAIKOOOOOU!"
He is about to stomp on Zoroark's chest, when Sycamore stops him with a comforting hand to his head, "Non non, Raikou. It's okay, you can turn back to a cardboard cutout now."
Although reluctant and hesitant due to what the illusionist is capable of
--which is honestly not much-- he sacrifices himself, turning back into a milk advertisement.
Sycamore snaps his fingers, turning off the sparkly light fixture and sparing the fox from a certain wintry death, "You know what, mon ami? Okay. I'll spare you." announces the professor, as he takes the guidebook.
Zoroark looks up, xis fears of death completely dashed, "R-Really? You mean it?"
"Yes yes, monsieurademoiselle! I am sparing you out of sake for the holidays!...
But only on one condition."
Sycamore's expression melts into one of suggestiveness, prompting Zoroark to cock xis eyebrow.
"....What did you have in mind?"
"You're an illusionist, are you not?"
"...I've been told I'm an inferior Ditto, yes."
"Perfect."
