"WINDOW SHOPPING." Mel shouted, darting after Mira. "We'll be in
there!" She yelled, mostly to Eevee.
The normal type nodded and returned her attention to Charmander's
tail, leaping to her paws to crouch down and leap onto Charmander's
tail, still careful to avoid the flame.
Tiger sighed, and nodded as the group left. He sat down in the
grass and waited for the others to get finished. Cyndaquil sat next
to him, and looked up as a few trainers walked by them and
whispered. They looked at Tiger suspiciously. Please, Arceus
don't let anyone fight me...I didn't bring Ho-Oh here. But these
people might think I did he thought uneasily, and looked at
Charmander. The pokemon then jumped into the air, and playfully
tackled Eevee.
Eevee laughed and rolled across the grass, leaping back to her paws
to jump over Charmander and land on the ground in front of him,
flicking her tail, eyes narrowing playfully.
"I'm getting a pink bow on you." Mel said firmly, reaching over to
grab a bow place it on Riolu's head. "Don't struggle. I won't dress
up, but I need pictures to show Luma, or she'll kill me."
Riolu didn't move and allowed the girl to cover him in bows while
giggling.
Mira slowly put the tie away that she had picked up. "How about a
jacket? For me, I mean. I could use another hoodie," She darted to
a rack of sweatshirts and jackets.
Eevee giggled and leapt back towards them, padding into the grass
and playing with a few fallen leaves. She hadn't noticed the
trainers glaring at Tiger.
....
"You look beautiful." Mel grinned, holding up her pokegear. She'd
completely covered Riolu in pink bows. "Thank you for this." She
said, carefully starting to pull the bows off.
Riolu shrugged and helped pull them out of his fur.
Cyndaquil looked over to the trainers, and watched as they left the
area. Tiger sighed, and looked back to Charmander, and Eevee
slightly amused. Charmander then laughed, and threw a leaf into the
air. He burnt it before it landed ashes fell to the ground.
Charmander smiled, and growled when a few trainers walked over.
"Hey kid how did you get two shinies" the trainer asked coldly.
Tiger looked up, and recognized the trainer from earlier. "One of
them is my friend's" he said guardedly.
"Friends? Hmmm....are you sure about that?" He said darkly.
Cyndaquil, and Mareep then growled, and stood by Charmander. "It's
my friend's " he repeated evenly.
"To bad, kid..." the trainer said darkly. "I'll be taking them.
After all we need payment for what you did here" he said in a
hostile tone. The trainer then sent out a tangrowth. Tangrowth
growled, and swiped a vine across the ground knocking Cyndaquil,
and Mareep back. Tiger managed to get away from the move. He ran
for Charmander, and Eevee, but was pushed back by the pokemon's
vines. The pokemon tried to get both shinies, but only managed to
get Charmander when the small lizard pokemon used a flamethrower on
the vine reaching for Eevee.
Mira scrambled out the door after her pokemon and tripped, falling
face-down on the ground. Toka leapt forward and used Dragon Rage on
the Tangrowth. "Oh. That works," Mira blinked, scrambling to her
feet.
Tangrowth growled, and continued to run. Charmander struggled in
it's grasp. The Pokémon then began to glow, he then grew, and
evolved. Tangrowth stumbled in shock, and was hit by the other
moves, Charmeleon then used a flamethrower, and managed to burn the
grass Pokémon.
Tangrowth was hit, it dropped Charmeleon, and its trainer called
him back quickly. "This isn't over!" the trainer yelled over his
shoulder, and ran off. Tiger looked on as the trainer ran off.
Charmeleon then ran over to the others quickly.
Mira skidded to a halt, but Toka pressed on slightly. "No, come
back here. Not worth it," She panted, looking behind her. She
walked back to the other trainers. "Man. He must have been pretty
desperate for a shiny. Or an idiot. Why not both?"
She noticed Charmeleon and smiled. "You evolved. You alright?"
"Me too." Mel agreed, crossing her arms and letting out a small
sigh. "What happened? Did they just, like, run up and demand Eevee
and Charmeleon or something?"
"You changed! You look so cool!" Eevee chirped excitedly,
prancing around the group happily.
