The Family of Legends.

League and Separation?

Other than Mlm having a restless night, they made it to the next town in an uneasy silence. We're not sure what happened, but the siblings were split. Mlm rested on Paul's back while Max and Ash were quietly talking to one another. Eyrin and Qidorr were quiet as they split up into groups of 4.

*O*

While Ash and Max worked on preparing for the gym, Mlm and Paul worked more on their own skills.

"Almost..."

Mlm's eyes were glowing as he tried to focus on the heal. They were trying to balance each other out while getting stronger. Paul was quiet as Mlm had to sit down for a sec.

"Ok... Why don't we..." He got quiet as Mlm huffed.

Qidorr eyed them as they tried again. He knew they were the weaker of the 6, so he was preparing a plan.

Eyrin, on the other hand, hissed at her new location. She had clashed with a certain person and her aura was on. She glared at the figure as they got close.

"Stay away from me..."

*O*

Qidorr finally reconnected with Paul and Mlm as well as helped them with their skills. They were cleaning up when Eyrin's Aura sent an alert. They followed it before seeing the problem. While Qidorr and Mlm chased off the figure, Paul got to Eyrin's side and turned on his aura to calm her down. She trembled as the other two joined them.

"All clear Eyrin... you're safe now." She purred at that.

*O*

The other two didn't return until later after Mlm saw another legend. He didn't need words to express it. Paul had to catch him as he practically fainted. Qidorr couldn't help but chuckle while Eyrin rested.

"Cynthia..." Paul had heard about the undefeated champion. She had made champions fall and legendaries steer clear from her. She had defeated Giratina, which explained why he felt so weak right now. Qidorr pulled himself together to bring the duo into a hug as Paul went pale.

"Come on... you two need to rest."

*O*

"Hey!"

The four turned to see Ash and Max running over. Paul had a blanket over his head while Mlm was wrapped in a blanket burrito and Eyrin was cuddled up to the burrito boy. The duo slowed down as Qidorr smiled.

"Welcome back. Enjoy the alone time?"

"What did we miss?" Paul went back under the covers as the tribal boy smiled.

"Mlm and Paul had some problems after another master walked past here. Eyrin had rivalry problems." Whatever sound escaped the poor girl woke Mlm up as he blinked out of the sleep. Qidorr smiled. "Let's... rest up and talk later."

*O*

Ash ran a hand through Paul's hair as breakfast was made. Thanks to Cynthia unknowingly draining Paul's aura, he was worn out. Ash was working on getting his energy to flow while the others got ready to move out. With how big the league was, they decided that one person would fight per section. Mlm had just beat the first gym leader with Sobble and was very excited.

"Paul..." The purple haired male purred as Eyrin brought over some food.

"C'mon..." He slightly lifted his head as she set the food down.

"Thank you-" He sat up as Ash gripped his shoulder to steady him.

"When you're back up, we'll get going."
