[tiger's been released from the hospital, and they planned a day to
relax in Ilex Forest. They're there now. Amara took Zara shopping,
Drew got lost and found her way to the others. Mel rebandaged
Tiger's arm. Everyone's hanging out right now uwu]
Tiger smiled at Mel and put his head on her shoulder before
replying to Victor. "I don't think you'll have to worry about that.
I think it's more likely for me to become a member of Rocket than
me breaking up with Mel" he repeated gently. He then yawned "come
on let's go find that clearing" he said kindly.
Tiger blinked and walked through the forest. "It's not far. Just on
the other side of the trees" he said gently, passed by a few trees,
and soon arrived in a decent sized clearing, a few wild flowers
grew along the clearing, and there was a river at the back of the
clearing. "This is it. I fell into this clearing while I went on my
journey the first time" he said jokingly and yawned.
(Just checked Bulbapedia and omg Lucario is small... I expected it
to be above 5 feet tall)
“Wasn’t everyone small and cute at some stage?” Laura asked.
“I don’t think your Kangaskhan looked much different when she was
younger...” Victor pointed out. Scarlet had seemed to occupy a
permanent position in his arms. The fennekin was still trying to
use the scalpel like a branch, without much success.
Suddenly the clearing became surrounded by a green mist and grassy
terrain covered the land.
[My poor 3'11" spike doggo,, lmao I always thought it was at least
4'7 or something, but I guess they're smol smol and ready to
roll protect them pls--]
"I guess everyone started out small and cute." Mel agreed. She
paused and glanced around. "So, does the landscape change magically
often?" She asked dryly, looking around carefully.
Riu tripped over a tree root and tumbled to the ground.
"Mudkip still is." Porsh murmured "I'mPorsha, Jax's friend." She
then let out her other pokemon, a Florges, and an Absol named
Jasmine, Jared's Twin sister.
----
Jasmine padded up behind Jared, who didn't know she was there, and
pounced on him, giving him a surprise.
Jax let out his pokemon, Kingler and a Mareep he had caught on his
way back from the airport. "MAreep is cute. Say hi mareep!" JAx
said
---
Jared yelped and flipped Jasmine on her back "WHy must you
always do this to me?"
---
Kingler walked around before finding a spot to sit down.
---
Mareep padded over to Mel and sat at her feet.
I-it seems like... G-grassy terrain... who used it?” Volt
squeaked, in fear for some reason.
“Guess who brings about Grassy terrain?” Victor asked with a hint
of tiredness.
“Tapu Bulu.” A voice said. The Pokémon entered the clearing,
revealing itself to be Tapu Bulu.
Scarlet let out a shriek of fear and accidentally used ember on the
Tapu.
Aura sphere successfully countered ember, and Tapu Bulu shrugged.
"Haven't stopped raising hyper active Pokemon, have you?" He
asked in a gruff voice, turning to Victor.
"Anyways, hyper active Pokemon with some brains mixed in is just
what we need at the moment, unfortunately. And electric rodent, I
won't kill you, so stop trembling or you'll shock yourself."
Tapu Bulu said, looking at Volt, who had begun trembling.
"What do you mean 'unfortunately'?" Victor asked.
"Didn't that spoiled Lunala tell you about the guardian
business?"
"Cosmo did tell us, and she isn’t spoiled." Laura interjected.
"Don't anger him.." Volt squeaked timidly.
"So I guess you know what to do. Take this ribbon as a mark of
the guardian status, and try to get that Necrozma out of here. He
isn’t brainwashed, but manipulated so it would be harder than just
breaking a Rocketball. Also make sure that he doesn’t eat Lunala or
Solgaleo for dinner." Tapu Bulu said in his usual rough voice.
A ribbon with rainbow colours floated towards Victor.
Zara seemed like she wanted to say something but was stopped by
Kyurem’s voice in her head.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to say anything right now.
The ice dragon said in his calm but harsh voice, there were also
the sound of faint voices yelling at each other that caused Kyurem
to sigh and take a breath breath, SHUT UP BEFORE I FREEZE YOU
BOTH! he roared causing Zara to visably flinch and the voices
to immediately go quiet.
Victor caught the guardian ribbon.
"Any questions?" Tapu Bulu asked.
"Er... No, I don’t think so."
"A good day to you, then." Tapu Bulu said, promptly flying
away from the clearing.
"I wish Burst could arrive... Tapu Bulu was a bit too harsh." Laura
said, sighing, when Tapu Bulu was at a safe distance.
“Huh. That was a lot different than my ceremony,” Mira mumbled,
looking unfazed. “For one, all of the legends were there. But
desperate times call for desperate measures and stuff.”
