Tiger laughed, and grabbed the wrap. He winced as he wrapped his
ankle in it. He then lay back down and sighed "though being a
snorelax might be good for me...I haven't slept peacefully without
nightmares since I left Johto" he admitted darkly.
Tiger shrugged "hard lesson for me to learn" he joked. "I've always
slept in trees when I was on my first journey." he said softly, and
looked at the clouds.
Tiger nodded, and smiled "I'd like that. I'm sure it'll be fun" he
said kindly. Smokey got to his feet, and looked at the cave as
someone was walking out silently.
Tiger sat up, and sighed heavily as he recognized the trainer. He
was glad it wasn't a rocket grunt, but annoyed that is was, Lion.
"Hm let's see.." Lion said lowly, and looked around. His Blastoise
looked over, and spotted Tiger. The Pokemon then nudged his trainer
and Lion looked up. "Huh I didn't expect to see you here" Lion said
simply, and looked at Tiger.
Tiger blinked, but didn't reply. He then glanced at Cyndaquil.
"Did you get lost or something while in the caves?" Smokey asked
Lion simply.
Lion shook his head, and narrowed his eyes "no. I backtracked to
take on Team Rocket. Then I saw you three leave the caves" he said
lowly. "I wanted to challenge Tiger to a battle."
"Well you'll have to wait" Tiger said suddenly and sighed.
Lion blinked and looked confused "why? Did you fall out of a tree
again?" He said almost mocking. Tiger then sighed, and shook his
head.
"Yes I fell out of a tree. I can't fight now" he said evenly.
Lion shrugged "you can't, but your Pokemon can" he said simply. He
then nodded to his Blastoise who was next to him. The Pokemon aimed
a hydro pump at Cyndaquil, but Eevee deflected it with a trump card
from where he sat.
Eevee growled, and glared at Lion. "Eevee ev (you'll have to go
through me)" he snapped.
Blastoise narrowed his eyes, and smirked "Blastoise blast (that can
be arranged)" he laughed, and shot off an ice beam instantly
freezing the Eevee.
"Call off your Blastoise" Tiger said softly, and tried to get to
his feet, but collapsed again. "Ugh." He growled cyndaquil ran over
to Tiger, and glared at Lion. "You're almost as bad as Snow!" Tiger
said angrily to Lion.
Lion growled "well you're blood related to him" he said to Tiger
his eyes gleaming in amusement as he knew it struck a nerve with
Tiger. Smokey then growled, and let Feraligatr out.
Lion narrowed his eyes, and stared at the Pokemon. He growled, and
returned Blastoise. "Fine hide behind your friend, and your brother
wimp. I'll find you alone one day, and then we will fight...and I
will win" he said darkly, and walked off to cerulean.
"Jerk" Tiger spat angrily, and looked at the water.
