"Uh, do you mind if I hold him for a little while?" Manny asked Nadia shyly about her baby.
"Not at all." Nadia smiled.
Manny held out his trunk and Nadia gently placed Roshan into his trunk. Manny then curled his trunk and held the baby gently, but tight enough so he wouldn't slip out of his hold.
"You sure have a gentle touch." Nadia smiled.
"I, uh, I'm familiar with handling babies..." Manny said mysteriously.
"I can tell." Nadia said.
Roshan smiled up to Manny.
"He likes you." Nadia smiled once she saw her son smiling at the mammoth.
"Yeah, I guess he does." Manny smiled back.
Nadia smiled to this as well since Manny seemed gentle with the baby.
"He seems nicer than the first time we met him." Ingrid smiled.
"Maybe to you guys..." Sid muttered since Manny seemed to strongly dislike him.
"Okay, so he's still kind of mean to you." Vulpix said.
Vincent gently pet the Fire Fox Pokemon's head. "Time for bed."
"Aww, but I'm not tired." Vulpix pouted.
"But you will be soon." Vincent said.
"Aww..." the Pokemon pouted to their 'parents'.
"Early to bed, early to rise, it's what Mom and Dad always say." Estelle advised.
"Oh, fine." The Ralts Twins frowned.
Teddy frowned with them.
They all soon got settled for that night and Manny kept holding Roshan in his trunk and Nadia allowed him to while she went to sleep with Ingrid for the first time in ages. And where Diego was now waiting for Manny to fall asleep. Sid struggled about falling asleep, until eventually he did and sucked his thumb.
Diego's eyes flashed open after Manny began to fall asleep and he went to take Roshan to bring him to the tiger pack leader: Soto. And where he was about to do just that. He then tried to reach for the baby, but the mammoth's trunk was too secure and he kept hearing a noise in the distance which made him look cautious so he wouldn't get caught.
And where Manny brought Roshan closer to him. Diego was unable to get the baby and decided to go see what was making the noise since it wasn't either of the others with him. And where he decided to take care of whatever it was. The Pokemon seemed to wake up and they saw Diego wandering off.
Kabutops was about to go alone until he saw the other Pokemon and warned them to keep quiet and they nodded in agreement as they then followed the Fossil Pokemon to see where Diego was going. And where Diego pounced to attack whatever made the slight noise. Luckily, the Pokemon had not been caught, but it was another saber-toothed tiger.
"What the...?" Diego did a double take.
"Go ahead, slice me," the tiger challenged. "It'll be the last thing you'll ever do!"
"I'm working here, you waste of fur." Diego scoffed.
"What are they saying?" Teddy whispered.
"Shh, let's listen." Kabutops said.
"Who are those other two?" Larvitar asked.
"Zeke and Oscar from Soto's herd." Kabutops replied.
The Pokemon then did their best to listen closely and carefully to the tigers.
"Frustrated, Diego?" Oscar mocked. "Tracking down helpless infants too difficult for you?"
"Tracking down?" Teddy whispered to himself.
"What are you two doing here?" Diego glared to his fellow tigers.
"Soto's getting tired of waiting." Oscar darkly smirked.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Zeke agreed. "He said 'come back with the baby and its surviving family with that weird creature, or don't come back at all!'." he quoted their leader and even added an evil laugh.
"Well, I have a message for Soto," Diego replied. "Tell him I'm bringing the baby and other humans and... A mammoth."
"Why that traitor!" Kabutops glared.
The other Pokemon looked angry as they overheard Diego with the other tigers. Diego told Zeke and Oscar not to go after Manny just yet, but told them to get everybody ready as he was going to lead them to Half Peak.
"Let's teach Diego a lesson in deceiving others." Larvitar whispered.
"Believe me, we will..." Mismagius narrowed her eyes in agreement.
"So, what do we do?" Teddy asked the others.
"I have an idea." The Male Ralts smiled.
The Pokemon then gathered around the male Ralts to listen to his plan as he whispered to them what they should do about Diego to get back at him for what he was planning on doing with his so-called new friends. And where they liked the sound of this plan.
"Got it?" the Male Ralts asked.
"We got it, let's do this thing." the Female Ralts agreed.
"But first we have to go back and pretend to be sleeping." Kabutops said.
The other Pokemon nodded, it was quite late, even for Mismagius. The Pokemon then went back to their sleeping spots and went to keep up appearances as Diego was coming back while Zeke and Oscar went back to see Soto. Diego soon went to sleep. The Pokemon then glared to the tiger as he fell asleep.
