When he was little, Ethan made a wish to be able to turn into a Pokemon. He's had those powers ever since them, but he's never been able to control it. Whenever he's in the room alone with a Pokemon, he finds himself turning into one.

This Ekans has took a particular liking to Ethan, following him around without being captured and actively pushing him into situations where he'll transform. Once Ethan has shifted into Pokemon form, he becomes very submissive and allows the Ekans to wrap him up and cuddle him for as long as it wants.
