Mel regarded him curiously. "You're totally different than my
family." She decided. "Besides, of we asked the UB to attack, we
would have asked it to attack Aether, not your house. I wonder
where it went..." She shrugged. "Whatever."
Tiger shrugged "I've been blamed for dumb things before. I'm not
blaming you guys for this..." He said quietly and looked around.
"I'm not sure where it went..."
"Hopefully to wreck havoc on Aether or something." Mel said
cheerfully, looking happier than earlier. "I would join it, but I'm
too lazy. Is uh.. the inside of the house okay?" She asked
worriedly.
Mel immediately winced. "Sorry." She said guiltily. "At least some
of its safe, I guess." She sighed. "We'll get you a new computer
for your birthday or something."
"I'm surprised we're all okay. I guess I expectedly it to go even
worse." Mel said. "That UB was part ghost-type, so I guess I was
pretty open to attack. Sorry, Lucario."
Lucario shrugged.
"Ghost and fire. I think Victor called it Burst? I might go see if
Aether has anything on it in the books later."
"Huh. Maybe a new type of UB?" Mel asked curiously, reaching for
her pokégear. "It reminds me of a clown. Kinda freaky." She
snickered to herself before scrolling through her pokégear. "Oh.
You're right. There's nothing here. Exciting."
Tiger nodded, and sighed. He then looked at cyndaquil. "Wanna come
with me to grab some dinner? All I have at home is fruit and I'm
not in the mood for another Apple..."
Mel snorted but nodded. "Sure. Hopefully this time Burst or
whatever won't track us down." She stretched her arms in front of
her. "Where do you wanna go?" She asked curiously.
Tiger thought for a moment "there's a restaurant near the malasada
shop" he suggested gently. Cyndaquil the jumped onto his shoulder,
and looked over the group.
Mira walked back down the route, rubbing her eyes some more. She
checked the time--eight o'clock. "We'll be back in Alola by
tomorrow, I think. ...Yeah. That sounds right. Another all-nighter,
tonight, guys."
Everyone groaned in reply--even Toka. "Come on. It's not that bad.
We haven't seen Tiger, Mel, Ivan, or Victor in awhile. It's worth
it. We'd be here an extra eight hours if we took breaks," Mira
pointed out. They huffed. "Come on; let's head out."
"Don't you want to stay a day? See the sights? Beat up some
anything-other-than-Aether-grunts?" Amana asked hopefully. Mira
rolled her eyes.
"Sounds like fun." Mel said with a grin, skipping after him. She
paused her skipping to walk normally. "Uh.. Juno, Aki, Sam, and
Lucario." She nodded. "My team should be okay." Though she did
prefer fighting types, she could work with other types.
"They're your brother's, right?" Mel checked. She should probably
update her team, but whatever, it didn't bother her too much. "Does
he know you borrowed them?"
