[again not much happened. Tiger returned to the others while Mira,
Kibo, and Took are still on Ripple Forest. Everyone else is at
Tiger's house just talking and getting ready to leave. Yeah pretty
much what Lucky said.]
Tiger laughed gently in response to Mel, and smiled at her. "Well
I'm grateful for what Mira planned." He said with a chuckle and
blinked. "Anyway, if you're going home today, um I can walk you to
the airport if you're flying home." He offered kindly and shifted
his weight slightly.
~•~•~
Kibo looked at Toka and blushed slightly. "Of course I was going
to say you. I mean you're way smarter than me, and Cyndaquil."
He said gently and smiled back at her. "Honestly, Toka you're
the smartest Pokémon I've met."
Kibo smiled at Toka and blinked, "it's true though, I mean Tiger
does a lot of thinking for me, but that doesn't mean I'm not smart.
Honestly, Toka you're smart and strong, I mean." He trailed off
and tried to think. "You were smart and brave enough to leave
the colony, and you had the best ideas on what we could do when we
were Dratini." He said gently.
"Me too," Mel groaned and shook her head in response. "First a
train, then a plane. Not looking forward to it, but
whatever, I guess." She shrugged, zipping up her backpack.
"Excuse me? Kibo, you thought of EVERYTHING back in that colony!
You were the first to suggest that we leave the cave, the first to
see that cave with Lugia... You're really the smart one." Toka
shook her head, putting her paw on Kibo's.
Tiger blinked and looked at Mel. He looked like he was going to ask
why she was taking a train, but decided against it, instead he
placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "It'll be alright, if
you need to talk to someone and distract yourself from the train,
you can call me." He said gently.
~•~•~
Kibo blushed and smiled at Toka. He looked at her paw for a moment
before blinking. "I know it was all me who thought of
everything, but I wouldn't have done any of that without you. I
mean, you were the one to suggest we battle Lugia, and you were the
one who suggested that we explored outside the cave." He said
softly.
Toka nodded and smiled. "Starting tomorrow. Since it's getting
kind of late now and I'm not THAT
clingy. I think they'll start to head back soon."
Mira's team (who had been working behind the scenes most of the
time) had gravitated back to Mira. Most of them had fallen asleep
with the exception of Watt and Aite. "I want to get back before
Mel leaves."
Kibo nodded, and looked at Toka. "Yeah they'll be heading back
soon." He said gently and smiled at her. He barely heard Aite,
and frowned, he didn't want to end the date so soon, but he didn't
want Aite to not have his chance to say goodbye to Riu. He blinked,
"you know, Tiger and Mira don't live that far from each other. I
can visit you whenever you want me to." He said gently and
smiled at Toka, and blinked.
~•~•~
Tiger smiled in amusement, and shook his head in amusement to
Toffee. He grabbed his old 3ds off a table, and handed it to
Toffee. "Here you and Theo can have this. It'll keep you busy if
your mom is using the Pokedex." He said kindly to the Togepi and
smiled at Mel.
"...Yeah! That's a good idea. Thanks. And I'll fly over to you
when you want me over there," Toka nodded cheerfully. "It's
gonna be great. I can't wait."
Kibo nodded and smiled at Toka. "I'd like that, as for now. I
think we should head back." He said gently and looked at Toka.
He sighed softly, and leaned forward, and gently kissed Toka.
Kibo smiled and nodded in agreement. He got to his paws and went
over to Toka, he placed his paw on Toka's shoulder and blinked.
"Do they need help?" Kibo asked gently as he noticed Mira's
Pokémon were putting the stuff away.
(did we timeskip or something? if so drew's still talking to Robert
so imma just-)
"Hey! Don't cry! No, no, don't cry! Please!" Drew said, using the
side of her hand to aggressively wipe the tear off his cheek. Oh
Arceus, now he's crying, what do I do, I'm not good at handling
people crying-
She sighed. "Robert, don't cry. Please. I'm already the happiest
person in the world because I'm with you. I promise to never push
you away and be angry. I promise that we'll be together as long as
we can, okay?"
