Dragonair, noticing Tiger's concern, said, "Don't worry about
him. Oh, before I forget..." Dragonair went back to the bush
and brought out a Poketch. "Use this to call the Champion, if
any trouble arises. He'll be here shortly after."
Tiger nodded, and looked back towards Violet. "Well I'm going to
finally go for my first badge...I mean Roy, and Victor already have
two. I'm way behind" he sighed softly, and walked off.
Tiger continued along the path towards Violet. He watched as a few
team rocket grunts crowded around an abandoned egg. "Hey!" Tiger
said loudly, the grunts looked up.
"Snow?" One of them asked causing Tiger to groan and facepalm.
Mel watched the interaction in curious silence. Dewott clung to her
shoulder, and her right hand reached into her backpack, holding a
pokeball carefully in case a battle occurred. She knew the Pokémon
inside it didn't exactly enjoy being kept inside the pokeball, but
sometimes she needed it inside the ball.
One of the grunts looked confused. "Snow why are you with some
twerps?" he asked in confusion.
"If they're going to be idiots. Let them. Maybe we can roll with
it" Cyndaquil whispered gently, and smiled in amusement.
Tiger nodded in agreement, and coughed evenly. "I'm undercover, and
if you guys don't return to base now, and leave the egg
alone...I'll tell Giovanni to put you on cleaning duties for a
week" he said surprisingly cold.
The grunts then froze, and nodded. "Err...y-yes Snow right away"
they said in a shaky tone, and fled the area.
Tiger narrowed his eyes and watched as they fled the scene.
