Tinder talked quietly with her parents in the darkness of their home. She urged them to run to the safety of Sinnoh or Hoenn, but they stood their ground. She pleaded and begged them to, she didn't want them to get hurt when it came out about what she was going. She knew they'd be the first ones Cipher would go after. They looked at each other in that way that soulbound pairs did: that mind conversation they could have. Before they could answer though, a knock came at the door. 

Tinder refused to leave, but her mom darn near pushed her out the back door of the house while her father went to answer it. Tinder looked put out but quickly ran off. 

Tinder's parents: 

The man opened the door with a set jaw. His eyes flashed in recognition of the boy in front of him before the look was coolly wiped away. "What do you want?" he asked menacingly. His wife was tiny in comparison to the Ursaring of a man. Tinder herself was taller than her mother, though, so that wasn't saying much. 

"Dear..." she laid a hand on his bicep. "Let him in...maybe...there is news." 

"But--" the woman shook her head. The man sighed deeply and stepped aside for Milo. 

"Come in. Hurry." he said.

Tinder: 

Tinder slowed to a stop in front of the Poke Mart. She took in a deep breath and blew it out. The sounds of a battle echoed in her ears though, which pulled her gaze up from the ground. Six peons were beating the crap out of some guy as he protected his Pokemon the best that he could. Rage ignited in her belly and she released both of her Pokemon. "Garchomp, Dragon Breath." The Pokemon gave a battle cry and did as commanded at the Peons. The attack welled up in his mouth before it was fired at three of the Peons on the far side of the young man.
