When I entered Oran Forest, I kept hearing rustling, but I couldn't figure out where they were coming from, mostly because it was night. All of a sudden, a small Lugia, just a bit bigger than me, jumped on top of me and laughed.

"I got him, Sis!" I looked up as best as I could and saw a normal-sized Lugia come out from behind the bushes and trees. I was hoping this was Tidewater and her little sister, but all I cared about right now was not being crushed to death by a little Lugia.

"Good work, Soul." The little Lugia laughed proudly and the other Lugia came closer to me, making it harder to look up at her. "Why are you roaming through our home?"

"I'm sorry…but I'm looking for someone." I managed to get out even though Soul was practically on top of my head.

"Soul…at least let him be able to look up and speak."

"Oh…I'm sorry." Soul moved a little bit and I could now move my head freely. I turned and face Soul.

"Thank you." I said a little sarcastically before looking at the big Lugia again.

"Who are you looking for then?" The Lugia bent her head down to look at me better and smiled.

"I'm looking for a Lugia, actually."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes. Are you Tidewater?" She lifted her head back up and looked past me. I looked behind me and saw Soul looking up at her sister. I looked back at the Lugia who looked back at me angrily.

"How do you know me?"

"So you are Tidewater? Well, I better introduce myself then."

"That doesn't matter…"

"Oh, I think you'll want to apologize for having your sister pounce on me once you know who I am."

"Ug…fine. Who are you then?" She rolled her eyes and sarcastically asked me. I just smiled and held my head with my right hand.

"I'm not saying anything until I can freely stand and walk with no Lugia on me."

"What….?"

"If that's not going to happen, I'm not telling you anything at all."

"Soul…get off him."

"Ok, Tide." Soul hopped off and I dusted myself off once I stood back up.

"Ok then…I'm Grovyle from Team PokémonSky, good-bye." I turned around and started walking when Tidewater called out.

"Wait, what?!"

"I said I'm Grovyle from Team PokémonSky. Do you not believe me? 'Cause, I can prove it." I got ready to fight but Tidewater shook her head.

"No, no. I can tell you're telling the truth. I'm so sorry for that."

"Me too." Soul looked at me ashamed. I walked back to Tidewater, petting Soul on the head on the way by, which made her giggle a little bit.

"That's alright, you just didn't know."

"So…why are you here?" Tidewater sat on her knees and smiled while Soul sat beside her.

"I want to talk to you about Lugia."

"There's a lot of Lugias you know."

"I know but…I'm talking about the one with the mother who-"

"Left my father for dead?" I nodded and she became wide-eyed. "How do you know that…how do you know that evil Lugia?"

"Because, that Lugia isn't evil. He's my friend, and he lives in Treasure Town-"

"Friend?!" Tidewater stood up and looked at me angrily.

"I thought you could tell if I was lying or not."

"I can, but-"

"Did you not have that power when you yelled at Lugia in his house?"

"Um…no, but-"

"But nothing. He was trying to tell you he had no part in what his mother was. He wasn't even her son…she found him and raised him, but since the day you left, Lugia hasn't even seen her, let alone spoken to her."

"But…I…"

"Tidewater…I can tell if Pokémon are lying, as well. I've known Lugia for over three years…he is a very good, and very sweet Pokémon." Tidewater sat back down, depressed.

"I…I can't believe it. I'm so ashamed…"

"Don't be. Lugia lives in Treasure Town and he really wants to talk to you. He knows you live here, taking care of you little sister, but he didn't want to see you."

"Why not? Was he afraid I'd tail him off again and leave?"

"…Yes. So I said I'd speak to you. And that's what happened."

"Wait…why does Lugia want to speak to me?"

"Between you and me, and your sister…" Soul giggled, as if she was about to learn a valid secret of which only a few get to know, and leaned in close. "…he likes you, a lot."

"Really?" Tidewater blushed a bit. I nodded and she sighed. "That's…so sweet."

"His…um, 'mother' said she wanted Lugia to go out and find a Lugia of his own and raise a family. The first one he found was you…he seemed so happy and at peace when he spoke of you to me."

"Wow…I need to talk to him."

"I want to too! Me too!" Soul got up and jumped twice.

"Well then…follow me." I led them out of Oran Forest and to the Crossroads where Lugia still was. When he saw us he blushed and scampered back a few feet.

"Lugia, don't you run off this time." I told him, rushing to his side, stopping him.

"I didn't know you'd actually get them…" He whispered to me and I glared at him.

"Then why did I do it?" Tidewater walked up to him and Lugia shuttered.

"Lugia…I'm sorry for not listening to you. I'm so sorry."

"R-Really? You…believe?"

"Yes…"

"Me too! Don't forget about me!" Soul jumped up and down and Tidewater laughed.

"Wow…um, I…"

"It's alright Lugia. You don't have to speak. But um, I've heard you like me?" Tidewater smiled at him and Lugia wide-eyed her.

"Who would tell you such a thing?" Lugia stuttered a bit before almost instantly glaring at me and yelling, "Why would you tell her such a thing?!" I backed up, laughing somewhat and smiling brightly.

"Hey…I'm just your 'relationship starter-er'. Have fun." I walked off, hearing Lugia growling. The last thing I heard of their conversation was Tidewater's voice.

"Lugia…it is alright. I…like you too." I looked back and Tidewater nudged Lugia, making him smile, so Lugia nudged her. Soul looked away a bit disgusted, at which I laughed, continuing to Sharpedo's Bluff. When I entered my house again, Mia and Thunder were back, fully asleep. I got into my bed and took a look at Morrithi, and then closed my eyes. I was so glad everything was back to normal…or, at least close to.
