Zygard and The Bond Phenomenon.

Village Mayhem

Arthur spotted them first, the little Purrloin attentively walking along side a limping Liepard, supporting her whenever she stumbled.

"Cristina, Freya!" Arthur shouts in both alarm and relief, "What happened? Are you alright? Where's Ziva!? Wh–"

Cristina affectionately places a paw on her husbands lips to stop his onslaught of questioning. With her love silenced she begins telling the tale of what occurred, with Freya jumping in every once in a while to fill in the gaps. As her story progresses Arthur's face goes through a wide change in emotions. His anger towards the invaders transitioning into pride for his daughters bravery protecting their mother, finally settled into fear for Ziva's life at the hands of those monsters.

"If they hurt even a hair on her head, I'LL RIP THEIR HEADS OFF THEIR FU-- OW! What was that for!?"

Cristina anticipating what he was going to say had knocked him upside the head.

"I don't think it's appropriate to use that kind of language, especially when your very impressionable daughter is standing right next to you!" Cristina responded with acid in her words, as she covered the ears of a puppy dog eyed Freya.

"Err, right sorry honey..., it won't happen again." Arthur mumbled rather embarrassed.

Cristina gave him a nod that said she accepted his apology but wasn't done with him yet. A firm tug from her daughters head grabbed her attention away from her husband. Releasing Freya from her protective hold, the young Purrloin's head began to track something coming from the direction that they had left moments ago.

"Freya what is it, what do you see?"

"A figure in a dark grey cloak, he's running between the trees. He's...Tch. I lost him."

"Lost who?" A mysterious cloaked figure says after suddenly appearing behind the family, causing them all to jump back in alarm.

Arthur recovered first. "Who are you!? What are you doing here!?" He then noticed the limp body of his daughter curled up in the strangers arms. "Ziva. ZIVA! YOU KILLED HER!"

Arthur's teeth spark with electricity and tears welled up in his eyes, as he prepared to attack the person holding his presumably dead daughter.

"Huh?" Greninja says not realizing his hood was still down and they didn't recognize him. He looked down at the sleeping fox he was holding, understanding dawned on him. "Arthur wait its not what you-- Gaaaah!"

Arthur bite into Greninja with all his grief and anger, the water type didn't stand a chance against the super effect attack and crumpled to the ground. The commotion woke Ziva up and she plainly jumped out of Greninja's weakened hold and onto his chest.

"Oh hey we're back." Ziva then noticed that Greninja was lying on his back twitching with small electric sparks discharging from his body. "Whoa, what happened to you?"

Greninja lifted his and muttered "Uhhhhh.... a-ask your dad." Before slumping back onto the soft forest floor.

"Dad!? Why would you- oof!" Ziva was tackled by her family each one of them bawling their eyes out and laughing with joy.

"We thought we lost you! Don't scare us like that ever again!"

"You-re crushing-me." Ziva gasps from beneath the suffocating embrace of her family.
