Once again, Mel tumbled to the ground with a yelp, rubbing her
elbow. "Jeez, what--" She muttered crossly, looking up to glare at
the Absol. "Nice to meet you too." She muttered, pushing herself
back to her feet.
Riu muttered a few choice words used his breath as he got up as
well, brushing himself off.
Tiger sat down and waved a greeting to Mira as he spotted her
below. He heard Morty call out once more. "Attention to anyone who
wishes to watch the festival play it is about to begin" Morty said
kindly, and called out once more so everyone at the festival could
hear.
Caitlyn grinned as her plate was complete: fried rice with meat and
flower sauce, and the fried bread with the same sauce. She smiled,
placing all the plates she had made on the table.
"We'll let the public judge for an anonymous vote after the play."
The judge announced.
Caitlyn nodded before walking over and sitting down with everyone
else.
"Nice to see you again too, Amana." Scar purred and licked
the cat pokemon's cheek.
Z noticed Mira "finally, someone I know." She said and handed mira
the replica silver wing, she had the replica rainbow wing she got
from Falker in her hair, near the lunar wing Cresselia had given
her.
"Oh, thanks," Mira grinned, taking the replica silver wing and
holding it carefully. "Ready to take pictures?" She was already
getting her first disposable camera out. "Gotcha covered," She
smirked at Jamie, her pokedex out in her other hand. "I've got a
second disposable camera if anyone needs it."
Tiger sighed, and looked around. He shook his head slightly and
looked to Morty. "Alright welcome to this year's festival. We will
go ahead and start the story about the legendary beasts." Morty
began kindly.
Tiger continued to look around. He frowned when he didn't see Mel.
Maybe she didn't hear Morty? Oh well...I guess I'll see her when
it's over he thought to himself and shrugged slightly. He
looked over to Falkner.
"Back in the early days of Ecruteak, two towers were seen. One from
the east, the Brass Tower, and one to the west the Tin Tower" Morty
began the two towers were respectfully pointed at. "The Tin Tower
was home to the legendary pokemon Ho-Oh" Morty continued, and
pointed to Tin Tower.
Falkner stood tall, and looked over the audience. He called out
Ho-Oh's name, not really saying much of anything.
"The Brass Tower was home to the other legendary pokemon, Lugia"
Morty continued and pointed to the Brass Tower, where Tiger stood
tall. He imitated a pose that Lugia often did.
"I am the guardian of the seas!" Tiger called speaking in
Lugia's voice. He looked over the clearing and stood tall. A figure
in the distance caught his attention, but when he looked it was
gone. That was strange. Tiger thought to himself but shook
the thought away.
Tiger looked back to the crowd, and narrowed his eyes he was still
looking for the others. Mel defiantly didn't hear Morty, guess
she's going to miss the play. He sighed in a slight upset tone
and looked up as the small clouds began to form over the stage. He
almost missed his queue to jump back into the tree. "A horrible
storm broke out above Ecruteak, and a lightning bolt struck the
Brass Tower" Morty continued a Pikachu hidden from the crowd used a
thunder bolt hitting the brass tower, and creating tiny sparks.
"The lighting had started a fire from within the tower" Morty
continued, and the Cyndaquil that helped every year used a
flamethrower.
"Tiger" Cyndaquil whispered from behind him. Tiger blinked
and looked over to his starter.
"What's wrong?" Tiger whispered back to his friend, Cyndaquil
looked out of breath and afraid.
"Tapu...Tapu Koko is here" Cyndaquil whispered. Tiger was
about to ask when a screech was heard, and before Tiger could
react, an electro ball was shot off from behind the trees. Tiger
looked up and was hit in the left shoulder by the move. From where
the audience stood it looked as if he were hit in the chest. Tiger
gasped in shock, and fell out of the tree, he slammed his back into
the Tin Tower and collapsed, passing out, in the dirt near the Tin
Tower.
"TIGER!" Mira screeched, jumping onto the stage. "What the bloody
hell just happened?!" She mumbled, looking to the sky, but quickly
shifted her gaze back to Tiger. "Please don't be dead."
"Tiger!" Z said and jumped up into the the stage, not caring how
many people were looking at her "Tiger! are you ok? wake up!" she
said then looked around, she could have sworn she heard Cyndaquil
say something about Tapu Koko "Tapu Koko! get out here before I
make you!" she yelled eyes filled with rage. She stood up with her
fists clenched.
Cyndaquil was keeping a few people away from the stage, he glanced
over to Tiger, and nodded to Charm who went to help. He ran over to
his trainer, and sighed in relief when he saw that Tiger was still
breathing. "He's alive" Cyndaquil said quietly. He then
froze, when he saw that the real Silver Wing was half destroyed. It
was shining faintly as if it had taken some of the blow. "Tapu
Koko is gone...He came for some reason, but why would he do
this!?" Cyndaquil snarled and looked at the sky.
