Mel hit the ground and rolled, returning Vol to his pokeball before
sprinting into the cave, skidding to a halt. Riu nearly hit her,
barely managing to stop. "God guys, throwing a party with a weird
woman and a disturbing man without me?" She muttered.
"I don't know, Caitlyn," Mira mumbled, but kept her eyes locked on
the two. "But you better release Zapdos right now before I
personally beat the living *sharpedo* out of you to get him," Mira
hissed, standing besides Tiger. She cracked her knuckles.
Thora giggled "Good luck with that cutie." she said then held her
hand up and was about to snap her fingers when Z tackled her to the
ground.
"Let. Lion. GO!" Z demanded her nails digging into Thora's wrists
which caused her to... laugh? why was she laughing?
"Think sweetie, you don't know if something might just shock you.~"
Thora purred and as she ended the sentence, Z was suddenly thrown
off by what seemed like nothing. As thora stood she smiled
"literally." she finished as she held up her hand to reveal
electricity sparking all over her hand.
Tiger glanced at Mel, and blinked. He then replied in a low tone.
"Honestly if I wanted to have a party with these fools I'd have
invited you sooner" he said joking lightly. He stumbled back as
Zapdos shot off another thunder bolt. "Can you guys cover me? I
can't summon Lugia unless I get to the farthest cavern in the cave.
There's a pool of water that leads to the ocean, and Lugia can
sometimes be found there" he whispered quietly. He was still
thinking of how Ho-Oh and Lion were stuck in the strange team.
Soren laughed at Z's comment. "Oh Lion will not be wanting to
leave. You see he's been...brainwashed? This time the effects are
irreversible" he laughed lowly.
Tiger froze, and looked up towards Soren. "You may say that now,
but I will find a way to free him" he said lowly.
Soren rolled his eyes, and shook his head. "Good like with that
Stripes. Your friend is loyal to us now, and Ho-Oh enjoys his new
Rocketball!"
Tiger snarled, "Ho-Oh and Lion are to strong to listen to you, and
your stupid organization! Tell Giovanni that I'm-" he was cut
off.
"Giovanni? Heh we're not Rocket...We're someone better, someone
new! We are Team Electron!"
"Yeah, consider that done." Mel whispered back, not moving her gaze
from Zapdos. "Should we call anyone else, or..?" She asked quietly,
gaze flitting between Thora and Zapdos and Soren. "MirA WAIT--"
Riu groaned. "We should have thought of a plan first." He
grumbled.
Soren sneered, and grabbed Mira's hand before she could punch him.
He pushed her back and into Zapdos. The pokemon was about to attack
when a Shiftry came by, and used a leaf blade knocking the legend
back in shock. "A plan? What in the world is that?" The
Shiftry said slyly, and glanced at Tiger. A Machamp, and a
Ninetales jumped into the clearing.
Cyndaquil ran off Tiger's shoulder, and ran over to Mira
swiftly.
"Control it?" Mel tilted her head slightly. "What's that mean?" She
whispered back cautiously, blue eyes flashing briefly. The griseous
orb in her backpack felt heavy.
"A plan is something I'd very much appreciate." Riu retorted
dryly.
Jamie tensed as Mira was pushed back while Robert grabbed at the
hidden Shell Bell at his neck. He looked over at Tiger wondering if
it would be safe and worth the risk for those with legends to use
them.
Mira lie there for a moment, stunned, but sat up and shook her head
clear soon enough. She scrambled backwards upon seeing the other
pokemon. "Someone tell me what that shiftry said..." She grumbled
dizzily, and looked at Zapdos.
Tiger looked at the Shiftry and blinked. "Sage we need a plan!" He
said lowly agreeing with Riu on this manner.
"We do have a plan" The Machamp said lowly, and went over to
Tiger. "Create a distraction so you and your friends can get to
Lugia" Machamp whispered, and ran at Soren with a cross
chop.
"Your friends can't stop me" Soren said lowly, and nodded to Zapdos
who threw Sage out of a tree. The grass pokemon had been burnt from
being in the tree as well as injured from the move. He slid across
the ground and growled at Soren.
"Humans aren't allowed here" Sage said lowly, and smiled
when the cross chop hit Soren knocking him back.
Tiger glanced over to Mira, and Jamie. "Sage, Lee, and Kit are
going to create a distraction. We need to go to the cave" he said
loud enough for the others to hear, but he only said it when Lee,
the Machamp, held Soren in a head lock.
"That wasn't the plan I had in mind, but sure, yeah." Riu
muttered, sprinting off. Mel rolled her eyes and ran after him,
skidding to a halt to wait for the others.
“Capture styler. It allows me to take control of a Polemon for a
short amount of time. It could help, but I’d probably faint after.”
Caitlyn explain, showing Mel the Styler on her arm.
"Better than nothing" Tiger said with a sigh, and ran as quickly as
he could after Riu. He stumbled slightly, and fell into some dirt.
Cyndaquil ran over to Tiger, and nudged him cautiously. "I can keep
going" Tiger said lowly, and struggled to get back up.
Mira scrambled to her feet and followed. As she passed Tiger, she
grabbed him by the collar and helped him the rest of his way to his
feet. "Are you sure you're okay?" She asked, still glancing back at
Zapdos guiltily.
"Yes sir." Jamie replied to Tiger while Leaf, on his own accord,
popped out and went to help Sage, Lee, and Kit create a
distraction. Ro's Swapert, Dew, also did the same as well as Pawn.
The trio, trusting their pokemon, followed after Tiger.
Tiger nodded, and stifled a cough. "I'll be fine" he whispered, and
looked at the forest sadly. "I-I have to help. This use to be my
home, and Ho-Oh is no longer free." He whispered quietly, and
looked over towards the cave. "I can't fall, or quit now" he said
quietly.
"I mean, don't faint yourself, that's not good." Mel murmured
carefully. She waved to Tiger. "Hurry up and go!" She called,
turning back towards Soren. Riu leapt into the fight as well,
joining the other Pokémon.
