Tiger looked down from the tree and laughed slightly. "I'm looking
for the short cuts. If we go down the normal path it'll take a few
days to get there" he said and jumped to the ground.
Tiger opened his pokegear and looked at the map. "Alright I've got
it. We can go through the normal path to Violet city. Then there's
a path to the east that use to be blocked by Sudowoodo, but Ethan
caught it so it isn't there anymore. We will be there in an hour
and a half" he said kindly and stretched before looking at the sky.
"Which will be about noon*
"Do any of them ever sleep." Riu grumbled, shaking his head
fondly.
"Hey!" Mel cried indignantly. "I sleep a total of seven hours a
month! That's a lot!" She grinned, striking a dramatic pose.
"Sounds good." She added, glancing at Tiger.
Tiger looked over to Riu and sighed. "Hey I have to sleep or I
might get crushed in Elm's lab" he said joking kindly. He then
nodded to Mel and walked off in the direction of Cherrygrove City.
"Alright Cherrygrove isn't to far from here"
Mel nodded and tucked her hands into her pocket with a yawn,
trailing after Tiger. "Isnt Whitney the gym leader that everyone
always freaks out over, 'cause of her Pokémon.. Uh.. Which one was
it again?"
"Miltank" Tiger said with a sigh and glanced at Cyndaquil who was
rubbing a scar on his paw. "She sort of destroyed us the first time
we tried to battle her, and broke Cyndaquil's paw" he sighed.
“Use a female grass type, easy.” Z said and flinched at the voice
in her head which said ‘be quiet and listen.’ “Shut up.” She
grumbled under her breath.
"well Cotton is a female ampharos with thunder wave and Hypno knew
a few moves that caused flinching* Tiger responded to Z kindly. He
then noticed her grumble "umm are you alright?" He asked
uncertainly.
“What? Oh uh, yeah I’m fine.” Z said as the voice spoke again ‘what
did I just say.’ It growled. Z was about to tell it to shut up
again but Tiger was looking at her so she stayed quiet and looked
at the ground.
Tiger looked uncertain he glanced at Cyndaquil and sighed. "Um
alright?" He said evenly and walked in Cherrygrove City. He looked
around the familiar town and stretched.
The trio walked behind the group, quietly talking to each other.
"Not a bad skirt around Mel's earlier question." Ro mused.
"Thank you." Robert mused.
"You seemed reluctant to answer the question, why?" Jamie
asked.
"Because I felt like it somewhat was betraying Meloetta's trust. I
get that the others are comfortable talking about their legends but
well..." Robert trailed off.
Tiger decided to try and get rid of the awkward and uncertain
feeling in the air. "Uh so welcome to Cherrygrove City. The City of
cute, fragrant flowers" he said kindly and nodded to the town sign
which said the same thing he just said. "This is the first town
most trainers come to when they begin their Pokémon journey in
johto" he said kindly and yawned.
"Ah, I see," Mira nodded, looking around. "It's really quite
pretty," She smiled, looking around. "Like Three Island, almost,
but more people. And a little smaller," She snickered.
