"We're heading back to my place. It's literally in that city over
there" Tiger yawn from where he walked near the back of the group.
"Elm will be by a little later to help patch up any wounds anyone
has" he mused gently. "I know we had sleep, but I'm exhausted
still." Tiger responded kindly to Mira.
"Of course I have a place you can wash your Pokémon" Tiger said in
response to Jax. He looked over to Ro. "Don't worry I've got more
than one bathroom. You can shower when you get back, and I say yes
we all just sleep once we get back. It won't take long to look at
what we all might have for wounds" Tiger began, and held one of his
burnt palms up. "All of us definitely need it" he said quietly. "So
once Elm leaves we just rest." He said kindly, and looked over to
Caitlyn "yeah you're welcome" he said with a yawn.
"Exactly how close are we." Mel asked, nearly toppling into a
puddle as she spoke. Riu sighed and caught her arm, saving her from
falling. "Thanks." She muttered tiredly. He nodded.
Tiger looked over to Jax and politely declined. "No but thanks.
Most my Pokémon don't like water" he said kindly and shoved his
hands into his pockets. He looked to the town entrance "only a few
minutes more to walk" he said gently to Mel and glanced at Raikou,
who darted into the lab.
"Ahhh.. I don't think my Pokémon like water that much.." Mel
murmured, glancing at Riu, who was grumbling choice words under his
breath as he darted around. "This is why you should return."
Tiger rolled his eyes fondly as he listened to Mel and Riu's
conversation. He then walked into town, and headed towards his
house. Raikou darted out of the lab with Elm next to him. "Welcome
back" Elm said kindly to the group as they reentered town.
Jamie and Robert politely smiled at Professor Elm while Ro tiredly
waved. "Good evening professor." Robert quietly replied unsure if
he got the time of day correct or not.
"We're also all wounded in some way. So hi, nice to see you." Mel
greeted tiredly, offering Elm a small wave. "Also we haven't been
in a house in like, three days." She muttered under her breath,
resisting the urge to yawn.
"yes I can see that you're all tired and injured." Elm replied
kindly. "Checking on everyone's wounds won't take long at all. I
would have Tiger's help, but he looks like he's falling asleep on
his feet." He said gently.
"I'm fine" Tiger protested with a yawn and shook his head
clear.
Elm ignored his protest and continued. "I can get some help from
one of the lab's assistants." He said kindly. "If anyone needs
stitches it won't take long. I mean all professors need to learn
some of the things doctors learn" he said kindly.
[Honestly the thing where professors need to know things doctors
know comes from a head Canon I had (which was proven in X and Ys
anime) where since most starting towns don't have a Pokemon center
and no town has a hospital. Then they need to know how to
care for the citizens and Pokemon of their town]
"My girlfriend and I only have some bruises. If you would like us
to help we can." Robert offered before looking over to see Ro had
fallen asleep. "Or just me?" He corrected himself.
"I think I'm bleeding out." Mel muttered, still holding her arm.
She moved it to peek at the bandage. "Wait, no, it's not bleeding.
I'm good. Actually I think I should
sit down before I pass out."
Elm nodded "I'll let you two help then. Thank you" he said kindly
to Robert and Z. Tiger shrugged and unlocked his door, he then
opened it to let everyone in. "Would you like any stitches in case
it starts bleeding again?" Elm asked and looked over to Mel. Tiger
stood by the door, and looked over to the others.
"No thank you. I'll pass on that." Mel said kindly. She darted
inside and sat down with a sigh of relief. "Never again." She
muttered dramatically. Riu snorted and trailed after her slowly.
