Tiger nodded and sighed before shaking his head in annoyance.
"Sounds like Mel. She always wants to get revenge on her mom, and
plasma and not ask for help...even from people she's known for
years." he muttered quietly and put his hands in his pockets.
"Anyway again I'm glad you both are safe now. I'm glad you were
there to help her at least" he said quietly, and looked over to Z
before looking back to the ground. He grabbed his bag off the
ground.
"Her?" Mel squawked. "I helped you more than you helped me!" She
muttered. "Besides, you got it worse than I did! My nap had nothing
to do with that." She grumbled.
Tiger stayed silent and looked at the ground. He felt useless as he
listened to the events that happened in Unova. Maybe this
reunion was a mistake he thought with a sigh.
Tiger sighed and crossed his arms. "It's kind of hard to do so
when something happened to two of my friends and they wouldn't even
say anything. I mean I understand why they didn't say anything, but
it makes me feel as if they don't trust me you know" he
grumbled in Pokémon and sighed. He then gently grabbed the Pikachu
before he could fall off his head.
Watt twitched one ear. "They trust you! Mira keeps telling me
stories about Alola and Kalos, about how you saved the Tapus and
jumped into Hoopa's 'house' and fought Rocket, Skull, and Aether.
It sounds to me like they trust you TOO much," He said
cheerfully. "You're overthinking this, Uncle Tiger."
"Good point" Tiger said with a shrug and jumped to the
ground. He glanced at Mira and yawned. "Yeah let's go. Mel and Z
can tell us what happened when they finally feel like it. Until then Charm and
Cyndaquil won't know flamethrower." he said kindly and glanced over
to Mel and blinked. "Also I like your hair short. It's cute" he
said softly.
"At least you didn't have to go through what I did for two whole
months!" Z snapped, once again losing her cool again. 'That's
right, get angry, let it all out.' the voice cooed.
Mel blinked, eyes stormy blue. "That was low." She growled. "At
least you weren't in a coma for two months. At least you know
what happened." She hissed. "Nobody's telling me
anything."
"...Actually. No. That's not good enough for me," Mira said simply,
and straightened up from her spot on the tree.
"Oh boy," Toka and Watt said together. Watt jumped from Mira
onto Toka.
"THAT IS ENOUGH," She screeched, getting in between the two. "I'm
not sure what happened in Unova, but IT WAS CLEARLY NOT GOOD. I
couldn't give two *Sharpedos* about knowing if it's so personal,
BUT YOU TWO SHOULD KNOW. RIU, YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST TOLD MEL.
YOU ARE HER BEST FRIEND. Z, same thing! YOU ARE HER HUMAN
BEST FRIEND. Suck it up, and tell each other everything. Right.
Now. If you want Tiger and I to leave, we can leave."
Tiger growled and sighed he was done with this. "You know what!
This was a mistake. Obviously I shouldn't have ever asked to have
this reunion...I mean I was looking forward to seeing everyone
again, and finally relaxing after finding out about Raikou, but you
two obviously want to argue and fight about something that happened
in Unova that mind you. Mira and I have no clue about." Tiger said
in a hurt tone. He then sighed sharply and shook his head. "You can
continue arguing all you want. If you want to find your way back to
New Bark Town it's down that path" he grumbled and looked at Mel in
a slightly guilty glance. "I'm sorry I can't help you" he whispered
and walked off in the direction of new Bark Town. He glanced at
Mira for a moment and sighed. "I'm way ahead of you...I can't stand
this anymore, and I'm going home. At least there the only arguing I
get is from Cyndaquil and Raikou over which TV show to watch" he
said lowly.
"You really think I had it easy?! I wish I had been in a
coma! While you were asleep, Ghetsis broke me he did
terrible things to me in order to do it." Z said then felt a sudden
pain in her head causing her to stumble back. 'I told you not to
tell.' The voice said much louder now, making her fall to her
knees as she held her head in pain.
"I wasn't asleep! I was dead! I saw everything that happened to
everyone in that damn hospital! I would have rather been tortured!
My mom is still alive and I don't know where she is!" Mel
wailed, eyes narrowing. She dropped her voice to reach for Z.
"Look-- no I'm sorry-- are you okay?"
Tiger flinched slightly at what Mel had said. He bit back another
growl and glanced at Riu. "You're more than welcome to come back
with me" he mumbled hollowly, and was standing by the tall grass
that lead back to the gate to town.
Tiger stopped in his tracks and looked, almost glared, at Mira he
glanced at Mel for a second before sighing. "I'd ask if Z and Mel
are alright, but it's obvious they aren't. Z is on the verge of a
mental break down, and Mel is obviously stressed about her mom, but
Arceus knows why she'll never ask for help." He said dully, and
shoved his hands into his pockets. He gave up and went to Z, but
stayed a small distance away from Mel. "You alright?" He asked
quietly.
