"Looks like we all have summon items, then." Mel said cheerfully,
and then her face fell. It had been a while since she'd had the
chance to think about the legendaries, and she hadn't seen Giratina
for a while either. Oh well. "At least Ho-oh's with a good person
now." She said with a small smile.
Lion nodded, and put the rainbow wing away. "The rainbow wing was a
family heirloom for a long time...then Frost, Tiger's father, took
it" he said quietly. He shook the memory away, and looked over to
Mel.
Mel cracked a small grin. "Frost and Snow? Very creative, I see."
She snorted. "At least it's safe now. I had to go to Pokémon hell
to get my summon item." She shook her head in amusement.
[someone finally said it XD I was like eight when I thought of
their names. I wasn't a very creative kid as I named an orange
tabby Orange Cat, and a small Maincoone Little Kitty]
"Frost and Snow. Lion and Tiger...names are very...strange to say
the least?" Lion joked warmly, and smiled. "Seriously the
distortion world!" He said in interest.
oH my god that's beautiful, you're not the only one haha my
original characters were always named "Flare" because fire I guess
XD
"Cold weather and big cats. What could go wrong." Mel grinned, and
then nodded. "Yeah. Six year old me decided 'hey, you know what
would be a great idea? You should break into Team Galactic's home
base and try and save your mom!'. Five year old me was obviously
destroyed, rest in pieces, and got sucked into the distortion
world." She snorted. "A truly life scarring experience to be
adopted by Satan's centipede."
XD Tiger was my first character. His original name was Matt, but
soon changed to Tiger when I got pokemon silver. Still better than
Wheeler from Captain Planet, and I think Wheeler liked
motorcycles.
Lion nodded and sighed. "I'm sorry to hear that..." he said softly.
"Tiger was the smart one when it came to getting the Silver Wing.
He decided to get burnt by Ho-Oh, which would explain that scar on
his arm..."
"Tiger's still smart about most things. Apart from Aether." Mel
said brightly. She then frowned slightly. "I think he's mentioned
that scar before, but I don't remember. That was Ho-oh?" She looked
disturbed. "That's surpringly vicious. The most damage Giratina's
done to me was accidentally knock me into a patch of grass."
"I'm not surprised he survived. He's tough." Mel said confidently
with a small smile. "He's also pretty stubborn too.. At least
everyone's okay now.. What even happened to Team Rocket after all
this?"
"Think they'll ever get back together?" Mel asked, pulling up a
piece of grass to rip it apart slowly. "I'm sure they're all alive,
wherever they are."
"Don't worry, we'd all tag along to make sure he doesn't get
himself killed." Mel said lightly, leaning back on her palms.
"Besides. Nothing ever lasts. I doubt they'll come back anyway."
Lion nodded, and sighed. "True." He said softly. "I just hope
Aether and Skull are easier to defeat than Rocket...I swear if
Tiger is in the hospital again, and almost dead because he risked
his health against twenty pokemon I'll kill him" he said lowly.
[Lion would get along very well with Cyndaquil...]
theyll team up to make sure tiger stop going after Aether on his
own, "Tiger sit down for five minutes, jeez".
Mel snorted. "Skull's no problem. It's just a bunch of weirdos with
an annoying leader. I'm more worried about Aether, and Lusamine's
whole 'let's freeze my Pokémon for the hell of it' attitude."
if that's not a conversation that happens at some
point--
Mel looked up in surprise but nodded. "Yeah. I guess Aether managed
to get their hands on Tapu Fini, Lele and Bulu. I think they got
Koko too.. Uh.. Did they?" She wondered, and then shook herself.
"Tapu Bulu sacrificed himself to keep us alive for a bit." She
remembered. "I'm pretty sure Tapu Koko did too."
"Tiger told me that Koko was taken. He texted me that night when
your pokemon saved his Cyndaquil, and Marowak." Lion said partially
thinking to himself.
"Oh, then." Mel winced. "They fell off the cliff. Karou caught
Cyndaquil and Marowak, but I guess Tiger was too far." She glanced
at her backpack. "Bless you, Samurott."
"We should really try and get them back at some point. Bulu broke
out; maybe the others will too?"
Lion nodded, and sighed "well I wish to help you guys at least
until the other tapus are free. Though I can't stay long in Alola.
I'm a gym trainer now, and I'm on a paid leave period..."
