Z stood up and walked over to Mira and wiped away some of Mira's
tears then set her hands on her friends shoulders. "Mira..." She
said calmly "was it the GS ball?"
Drew buried her face in her hands, hiding her tears. "Oh my god, oh
my god..." she repeated. She squeezed her eyes shut, then opening
them before standing. "I've gotta go fix this-- i-is there a cave
somewhere near here?" She asked, crying.
Mel blanched, and Riu groaned, smacking his head against the
closest wall.
"We need to. Uh..." The Lucario trailed off and fell silent,
while Mel shook her head wordlessly.
Marron yelped and shook herself, peering up at Cyndaquil. "Oh
come on, I just fixed that fur!" She complained with a grin,
leaping onto the bed after Raikou. "What're you doing up here
anyway?" She asked curiously, looking at the shelf.
"I-if you haven't heard, that's why Sinnoh's being destroyed,
see... I gotta go. They've broken before, it's going to be okay. I
think." Drew sighed, shaking her head before her and Mismagius
sprinted out the door.
"Oh... how do you fix those, truly?" Caitlyn asked.
Tiger froze "oh man..." He whispered, and shook his head to clear
it. "There's a cave near here. It's across the lake on Kanto's side
of the lake." He said quickly and loaded up the map on his
pokegear. "It's called Tohjo falls" he said quietly.
"Hiding from Mel. I accidentally scared her today and it lead to
me having to forget flamethrower" Cyndaquil said simply and
shrugged Raikou tipped his head to the side.
"But flamethrower was your favorite move" the legend barked
in confusion.
"Sinnoh's being destroyed?" Mel's eyes lit up with panic. "Wait a
minute, since when?! How long?! waIT I NEED ANSWERS--" She groaned
and smacked her head off her pokégear. "What about the rest of the
Sinnoh legendaries?!" She exclaimed, leaping to her feet to
pace.
~•~•~•~
Marron tilted her head slightly. "You scared her? And then you
forgot flamethrower? I still know flamethrower.." The Quilava
mused quietly. She stood on her hind legs and frowned. "You
shouldn't have to forget your moves and hide in your own house.
Mom's strong enough to take care of herself."
"Nobody knows at this point. Someone told me, long ago, that there
was an attack, caused by a girl who had summoned Arceus, but it
went crazy."
Drew sighed, tossing her stuff over the stream (she actually had a
rather strong arm) before diving into the stream herself and
swimming across, before picking her stuff back up and walking
towards the waterfall.
Tiger blinked "wait what happened in Sinnoh...?" He said in
confusion and sighed as he didn't expect an answer. He called out
Akio "go with Drew and help him find Tojho Falls" he said kindly
and sighed as he watched Drew run out of the house.
~•~•~
Cyndaquil sighed "yeah I know Mel's strong, but Tiger and I were
afraid of scaring her again" he squeaked quietly.
"Tiger's just been on edge since Lion and Uncle Ho-Oh
disappeared. I'm sure this will blow over soon" Raikou barked
protestingly.
Cyndaquil looked over to Raikou "the others don't know about
Lion's disappearance yet..." he grumbled quietly.
Ro had recalled Glaceon, who had taken off with his owner, and
dropped her bag before diving into the stream Drew had crossed. She
quickly swam across and followed Drew's lead.
Jamie nodded at Mira wondering what exactly was going on in
Sinnoh.
Robert shrugged figuring the girls were possibly doing something
together before continuing with his phonecall.
"Last year, I got an email from my dad while we were in Kalos. It
was a standard 'hello, I love you' sort of deal since it was near
Christmas. That gave me the impression that Sinnoh was doing well,
since that's where he worked. It... It wasn't. Someone--who I now
know is Drew--collected the Arceus plates and summoned the
legendary. He went on a rampage and basically destroyed
Sinnoh. M-my dad--" She had to pause and gather her thoughts once
more before going on. "My dad was being held captive by Galactic.
At the time of Arceus' rampage, there was enough chaos for him to
escape. He sent me a message explaining what happened a-and that
h-he l-loved m-me... B-before he was killed."
She buried her face again, a new batch of tears coming. At some
point, she had pulled out a Ditto plushie and was now clutching it
close to her chest.
Tiger looked over to Mel and reassuringly placed his hand on her
shoulder. He glanced at Mira and listened to the story. He then
frowned and looked at Mira "I'm sorry to hear that." He whispered
gently. Tiger's Jolteon, who was in the living room at the time,
then went over to Mira and nudged her gently.
~•~•~•~
Cyndaquil sighed and leaned against the Lugia plushie. "Lion and
Ho-Oh went missing about six weeks ago. Tiger is holding onto hope
that he'll show up randomly like he always does, but I'm not to
sure about it. I've been trying to get Tiger to say something, and
get help looking for them, but-" he trailed off with a sigh.
"But he's been busy with the lab, and Raikou" he said
quietly.
