Hey bill, I’ve got a situation. I have an Alola Persian (Pudgepudge), a Kantonian Persian (Madison) and a female Pyroar (Leilani) all of which seem to be protective of me. Both Persians will lie on either side of me when one the couch and Leilani will sit at my feet. Why? Also both my Persians will bring me things from their shiny hoards. Leilani “hunts” for me (thank Arceus its just pillows and blankets). I don’t mind feeling like a bad chick, but I would like to know why they do this.

To put it very simply, these three pokémon have realized they’re all cats and have thus formed a clowder-pride hybrid. Furthermore, they have decided that while you are indeed the hand that literally feeds them, you are also a strange-looking and incompetent cat who doesn’t know how to persian/pyroar. They have thus taken it upon themselves to care for you like they would a kitten, and they may be confused as to why you’ve yet to understand how being a cat pokémon works, despite how hard they’re working to teach you.

It’s likely nothing to worry too much about unless the shiny objects are stolen goods and/or Leilani switches to live (or dead) prey. Then you may want to consider training them to tone down their lessons.
