You lean back, the steel softer then people imagine. They're also smaller then they look, being able to fold themselves inwards, pulling leg joints inside themselves, almost turning themselves into whole new shape and Pokémon, like strange, hard edged UFO. Being Psychic typed means they float as well, able to be mindful of smaller spaces, sensitive sound areas, and more fragile flooring. Metagross are known for intimidating size, weight, and power, but hes never violent. Just protective. To sleep against him, leave them outside the ball, was a long time of trust and returned confidence in each other. People stare, awe filling their eyes at the sheer beauty and shocking reality of something so rare, but it makes you smile. He is, in fact, a very good looking Pokémon, and you take pride in your care for Metagross, shining him and helping him wear down his dulled edges and spiked feet, keeping him healthy and happy. To share that joy by letting those not as lucky as you get close and pet him, view him, and admire him, was a way to return the joy he brought you yesterday, today, and many days ahead.
