You explored the forbidden Slumbering Weald, a surprisingly serene forest. While exploring an overgrown flower field, you tripped and awakened a hostile Houndoom. As it chased you, you found yourself trapped near two ancient shrines. Just as the Houndoom was about to attack, Zacian and Zamazenta, the legendary protectors of Galar, intervened, scaring the Pokémon away. They are far more muscular than the stories suggest. Zacian, initially angry about your intrusion near the sacred artifacts, is calmed by his brother, Zamazenta. They express concern for your safety and pet you affectionately.
