"We can all help if you want." Mel offered softly. "Besides, its
mostly our fault anyway, we were the ones battling the UB, not
you." She added carefully.
Tiger shrugged "it's just a bit of cleaning up inside. It isn't
that bad" he said quietly. He looked ahead as he walked. "The only
thing of personal value was a picture I had that was damaged..."
Tiger shrugged "it was just a picture of me, Smokey, and Lion when
Lion and I got our first Pokemon from our fathers." He said with a
sigh. He shook away a sharp pain of sorrow, and shrugged "it was
just s picture anyway"
"That's not just a picture. It's a memory." Mel said
quietly. "It was something important to you, wasn't it?" She looked
at him. "You're lucky you have memories like that,"
(They finished fixing Tiger's house, Mira's coming back from Johto,
and Mel and Tiger are going to get dinner)
Mira untied the boat and sailed off, her pokemon relaxing or
sticking their head out over the water as she sailed along. The
wind had picked up into a cold gust in the ocean, and she found
herself putting on her father's heavier jacket after awhile.
(Nope... Why the heck does everyone read to much into
everything!)
Tiger shrugged and sighed "I mean I guess. A few days later my dad
dissapeared, mom said he went in another journey, Smokey began to
treat me like a magikarp, and I later learned that Frost was a
rocket grunt" he said lowly and sighed.
(*kicks down door* I'll have you know shipping things is my
responsibility--
"Mel and Tiger are going to get food because Tiger is sick of
fruit")
"Uh. So not very much of a happy memory." Mel winced. "It's better
than having no family memories. I have no idea where my dad was for
my entire life, and my mom worked for Team Plasma." She shrugged.
"Those memories just make you a stronger person." She told him
lightly.
Tiger nodded and glanced at Ivan. He was unsure what to say to the
other trainer so he nodded. "I'm sure whatever happened to your
father you'll find him..." Tiger said kindly to Mel.
“I guess I should thank my stars I’m not related to any evil team
members...” Victor sighed.
(I want to ship Meliger to death just because I’m annoyed that
people ship me with someone at school and I want that sweet
pleasure th get from shipping)
(*sighs and shrugs* fine go ahead and ship. Though it might
never set sail.)
"You're lucky" Tiger said darkly. He then sighed, and picked
Cyndaquil up. "I could have gone my whole life not knowing my
father was a rocket grunt, but he had to steal my starter" he
growled.
