"That was strange," Mira mumbled. She ran to catch up with Mel but
was scooped up by Sals much to her surprise.
"WAITINEVERLEARNEDHOWTOFLYYOU-" She squeaked in surprise as Sals
easily flew forward with a screaming Mira on his back.
Sals landed, kicking up dirt. Mira had never hugged a pokemon so
hard in her life. "That was so fast I cannot-" She gasped,
blinking and very slowly releasing her grip.
Mel skidded to a halt, dropping Riu back on his paws and
immediately collapsing to her knees and gasping. "I've never skated
so fast in my lie." She wheezed.
"you can come in" Tiger said in slight amusement and got to his
feet. He then walked over to Mel, and held his hand out to help her
up. "The chowder is on the stove keeping warm."
Tiger smiled and shrugged. "Eh I'm not sure about being a 'hero'
more like a kid who always manages to mess up somehow..." He
sighed. "Anyways come in. Cyndaquil made an oran berry pie for
dessert" he said softly.
Mel shrugged. "Sure." She said, releasing Tiger's hand in favor of
marching towards Riu and dragging him inside. "C'mon, that chowder
won't eat itself."
Due to being hungry, Victor's reaction time was somewhat reduced,
and he was the last one to arrive at Tiger's, with Flare.
"Did we need to fly that fast for such a small distance?"
Flare sighed.
"If we didn’t fly, we'd arrive much later, and the chowder would be
gone." Victor explained.
