Pikachu growled, and glared at Tiger "Pikachu pika Pi (he couldn't
stop Team Rocket from taking me. It's his fault)" he growled.
Tiger was now annoyed "no it wasn't my fault. I was five how could
I have saved you? Magically grow wings or something" he said
bitterly, but truthfully guilt was clawing at him like claws on
tree bark.
Cyndaquil was still passed out in Tiger's lap. The Pokemon groaned
and Tiger looked at Bulbasaur kindly.
Bulbasaur raised the gem of the necklace up on one paw, putting it
to Cyndaquil. There was a flash of bright light, and he was
revived. He was glowing intensely with evolution now.
"Growlithe! Growl growl growlithe?!" (Exactly! Did you not see him
chase after you?!) Growlithe added, a bit of a bark in her tone.
Cyndaquik groaned, and got up as he was revived. Tiger examined the
Pokemon, and noticed some bad scratches and cuts on his partner.
I'll have to take him to Joy after this...sprained ankle or not.
Cyndaquil is in critical danger he thought to himself in
concern.
Pikachu growled angrily "Pikachu...pika Pi Pikachu pika (no...but I
expect him to try at least)" he said angrily.
Cyndaquil then growled and spoke angrily "cyndaquil Cynd! (He
did!)" he said crossly "cyndaquil cynda cyn cyndaquil (he's had
nightmares about you almost every night since the incident)" he
said angrily.
Pikachu froze slightly as if he was going to reconsider he then
growled "Pikachu pika (he fell out of a tree. He's just a clumsy
fool)" he said crossly before fleeing the scene.
Tiger watched as Pikachu walked away. Cyndaquil then fell once more
from his injuries, and Tiger recalled rhe Pokemon before looking
over to Ivysaur, and smiled kindly still distracted from the
encounter. "and uh...congrats on evolving" he watched as Snow and
the other grunts began to be pushed back into the cave by Smokey,
and Mira.
"Growlithe! Don't you know Roar?" Mira called over. Growlithe
blinked.
"...Growl. Growlithe grow," (...Right. I forgot about that.) She
replied, giving a guilty smile. She trotted back over to Mira and
roared, sending most of the Pokemon fleeing.
Tiger nodded, and looked around the clearing. The grunts had fled
leaving a few of their Pokemon behind. Cubone, and Umbreon had
fainted, while Dusk, and Feraligatr were panting heavily. Eevee
went over to Tiger in fear of the grunts returning. "We need to
leave now..." Tiger said softly, and attempted to get up once more.
"I'd love to argue with you, but yeah!" She nodded, grabbing some
Pokeballs off of her belt. Pikachu had fainted, and Growlithe had a
few scrapes on her. The only Pokemon that had taken very little
damage was Ivysaur, who she had just now noticed. "Looking good,
buddy," She smiled, taking her necklace off of him and returning
her other Pokemon.
Smokey went over to his little brother, and helped him up. "If we
leave now we can make it before might fall" he said softly. "Though
that's taking into concideration Tiger's foot" he said lowly.
"I can manage. I have before" Tiger said softly, and returned his
Pokemon.
Mira clipped the necklace around her neck again. "We'll have to
hurry. They might come back," She mumbled, checking the position of
the sun. "We've got about... Three hours before the sun goes down."
Tiger nodded, and looked around to find a quicker way to move. He
then spotted a few Ponyta and Rapidash drinking form the opposite
side of the pond. "Rapidash Rapidash rap (hey! Come over here.
Please)" Tiger called to the Pokemon sounding like a Rapidash.
Three of the Pokemon looked up, and ran over to the small
group.
"Ponyta ta (what's wrong)" the Ponyta said cautiously.
Rapidash then saw the injured Pokemon, and growled "Rapidash ash
(Pokemon poachers)" he growled angrily, and glared at the
group.
"No...we need help. Team Rocket ambushed us" Tiger said swiftly.
It is so freaky how he does that sometimes... Mira thought,
before looking back over to the injured Pokemon. "Those are
Rocket's. ...Here, I can prove it," She ran over to one of the
Pokemon--a Beedrill--and checked around their ankle. Sure enough,
there was an emblem on a chain with the Rocket logo on it. She took
it off and held it up.
The main rapidash growled "rapid ash ash rap (how do we know you
don't belong to rocket to)" he growled.
"Because if I did then you'd be caught by now" Tiger snapped
crossly. "My friend is in awful condition, and we need to get to
cerulean...now...." He trailed off, and looked at Cyndaquil's
pokeball. "Or my starter might die" he whispered.
Rapidash looked unconvinced, but the Ponyta walked over to Tiger,
and looked around "Ponyta ta pony (I believe him)" he said bluntly.
Rapidash looked at the others cautiously, and sighed, "Rapidash
rapid ash (alright fine we'll give you a ride to cerulean, but if
you try anything else you'll regret it" he said angrily.
Tiger sighed in relief, and nodded greatfuly. "You won't regret
this. Than you" he said softly. Ponyta , and Rapidash then went
over to the others.
"Return," Mira held out the Pokeball, and Ivysaur returned. "And
for the love of Dialga stay this time!" She added, chuckling.
"Thank you so much," She turned back to the Rapidash and Ponyta.
The Pokemon nodded, and Smokey helped Tiger onto the Ponyta. "We
should get there faster now..." Tiger said distractedly. Rapidash
nodded, and went over to Mira.
Mira climbed onto the Rapidash. She looked to Smokey, and smiled as
he helped Tiger onto Ponyta. Thank goodness he has at least one
good brother. She thought.
