Tiger sighed slightly and glanced at Jolt. "And why should I
believe you?" he said a bit less bitter this time. He then thought
to himself Hmmm so I was right about Gus being her brother
he then sighed to himself as his own conscious got to him.
"Fine...I forgive you, but I'm not going to trust you so easily.
You'll need to earn it" he mumbled slightly.
Tiger shook his head before looking at the sky. "No I don't need
any help, but if you have your brother with you, you might as well
get him. The canyons, and Deadwood are dangerous at night" he said
softly before looking at Jolt. "You should come in too" he sighed
to the Jolteon.
"Alright," She said and called over Gus. "I deserve an
explanation." He said flatly "Not now, big brother." Gale responded
watching Tiger. "Hmm so now you call me big brother here." He
teased.
Tiger smiled slightly and nodded a greeting to Gus he then limped
into the living room, and sat down on his couch. Cyndaquil ran
over, and handed Tiger some berries before noticing Gale. He then
growled slightly, "it's ok she's fine" Tiger said softly. Cyndaquil
then nodded before running back to the kitchen.
Tiger laughed under his breath before placing the plate of berries
on the table near him. He had a small handful of berries that he
was munching on, but other than that he wasn't super hungry at that
moment "help yourself to the berries. I've got a small garden of
them" Tiger said kindly. Cyndaquil then jumped onto Tiger's lap
with an apple and looked at Gale wearily.
"Thank you" Gus said taking a few. "Gus, you just ate!" Gale
stated. "At least I wasent the one stuck in a jail cell for 10
years." He said laughing. Gale sighed "Why am I the only one not
laughing..."
Tiger shrugged "not sure" he replied softly, and pet Cyndaquil. The
Pokemon was eating his Apple happily. Tiger then yawned slightly
and looked at cyndaquil. "I'm sorry that Grayson kept you for so
long" Tiger said with guilt in his voice.
Tiger shrugged "I'm not sure what he was up to. Maybe he wanted to
get something like a rare Pokemon or something" he replied lowly as
he tried to think. "Oh well it's best to just forget it...Cyndaquil
can you show Gale, and Gus the spare rooms" he asked the Pokemon
softly. Cyndaquil nodded and got to his paws calmly.
"I say about tomorrow morning, but the good thing is Snow has no
clue where I live. So he should be safe here" he replied softly
"you see I found this place while roaming around after I got out of
jail, and my Cyndaquil found this abandoned run down village, and
the ranch was in better condition so I fixed it up" he explained
simply. "Snow never followed me home before so he doesn't know this
place, and my Pokemon guard the property during the day is Jolt,
and at night is Chesnaught" he finished with a sigh trying to
reassure her.
Tiger nodded "you're welcome" he replied with a sigh. "I don't like
seeing Grayson break families apart so I don't mind hiding Gus
here" he finished and looked at Jolt who was sleeping on the floor
next to the fireplace.
