"Five levels? Jeez, Kibo. I knew I was worried for good
reason," Toka sighed, eating another sushi with her free paw.
She smiled and looked at Kibo. "But yet, here we are. Though
we've gone through hell, we're both here now. ...Wait, did you say
a Noctowl? Could it be the same one that attacked Cyndaquil when he
was younger?" She asked, recalling that story.
Kibo blinked, and nodded slowly. "Yeah it was the same one."
He began quietly and chuckled in amusement as he remembered the
fight. "He came up to me saying he wanted to eat me, and
attacked. Little did he know I have ice beam. Man his face as he
flew off was the best." He said in slight amusement and sighed.
Mel raised her eyebrows in amusement. "So just a normal day with
more date planning? I'm starting to think Mira studies dating or
something." She grinned.
Toka chuckled at the story. She frowned. "Hey. Try not to think
about those years, alright? I love you too much to let you to worry
about the past. We're here now, stronger than ever."
"You and I both, maybe she has a PHD in matchmaking, but hey. She
helped me figure out what to say to you." He said cheerfully, and
smiled at Mel. "I mean without her expertise on date planning, then
I'd have been way more afraid to say anything to you." He sighed,
and stretched before smiling at Mel in amusement.
~•~•~
Kibo nodded and smiled at Toka. "Yeah I'll definitely forget
about those days." He said gently and finished his plate of
sushi. He smiled at Toka.
Toka smiled back (though she was trying to hide her chuckles,
knowing how stupid she looked while smiling with a mouthful of
food). Her sushi had been finished, too.
Mira noticed this and cleared her throat. Watt's ear perked up and
he grabbed the two pokepuffs, handing one to Char and one to Tira.
The two put them on plates and walked to the table, putting the
vanilla one in front of Kibo and the chocolate one in front of
Toka. Nailed it. Mira grinned, glancing up from her
pokedex.
"Thanks, guys. ...Hey, look!" Toka laughed, looking at the
pokepuffs.
Kibo laughed in gentle amusement and looked at the pokepuffs. He
smiled in gentle amusement and blinked. "Tiger made these, just
like he made the ones that we first ate when we first met him."
He said to Toka gently and smiled. He looked up to Toka and smiled
slightly, "you think it's safe to eat it?" He joked
referring to their conversation all those years ago.
Kibo laughed and sniffed at the pokepuff playfully. "White can
be a food color, if you accidentally eat a daisy like I have."
He laughed and took a bite out of the pokepuff.
"So is nightshade. Yet here we are," Toka snorted, finally
taking a bite of pokepuff. "If you run on that logic, Kibo, you
must have as many near-death experiences as Tiger."
Kibo laughed in amusement and shook his head. "No I know better
than to eat nightshade. I ate the daisy on accident because
Cyndaquil told me it was edible. Man, he can be really..." He
trailed off. "Sarcastic?"
[is it sad that a few days after the original posting of 'sassy
sidekick' I accidentally said it at work and my coworker now says
I'm the sassy sidekick for my work. When in the name of Arceus did
I become Cyndaquil!?]
Kibo laughed in amusement, and nodded in response to Toka.
"Yeah, I know being sarcastic is a side effect of sassy, but I
didn't know Cyndaquil had a sassy nature until Tiger told me to
stop eating that flower." He laughed cheerfully.
[huh? My calling? Skrelp guess I'm a sassy sidekick! That's
going to be a team rocket grunt for comicon, and is going to have a
Cyndaquil plush on my shoulder...man I'm going to have two sassy
sidekicks then]
Kibo laughed playfully, and shrugged. "He seemed nice at first,
I thought he was a timid nature." He admitted with a laugh.
"I mean, that guy is Tiger's sassy sidekick that's for sure.
Though, sassiness aside he's by far Tiger's smartest Pokemon."
He said gently.
[Yes! I'll be sure to take a pic of the costume whenever I make
it. I still need to get my slowpoke tail, and replica Johto badge
set from the storage. As well as have to buy the rocket
uniform.]
Kibo blushed, and smiled. "I don't know about that, I mean,
Cyndaquil can coach Tiger though battles. He did that in the elite
four." He said softly, and shook his head clear. He looked at
Toka with a smile, "I mean, I know of one Pokemon who is smarter
than me and Cyndaquil." He said quietly.
