"It's a long story, but now is not the time to explain it," Lighter said to his team, no longer having the hope of hiding his secret. He then turned around, facing Raichu again, ready to deal with any other embarrasing comments, "Well, do you have anything else to say?" he asked the other team, still in somewhat of a blush.
Raichu said in response, "I do have something important to say, to Lighter of course. Your own older brother wanted to see you, he really misses your company," Raichu gave out a slight frown. Lighter faced his head down, "That's crazy, he never cared about me in the first place..." he spoke out in surprise. Lighter never wanted to see his own brother for many reasons, one main reason is to avoid humiliating their family name. "Big brother, if we don't start moving we could be late to the tournament again!" Pikachu reminded him, now to remember why they were walking in the first place. Raichu simply felt sad for Lighter and his brother, knowing now that their lives weren't living at their happiest, "I won't tell anyone about our conversation, not even your brother, I wouldn't want to sadden your brother even more... well we got to go, if you ever need anything you can always come back to your old hometown!" Raichu exclaimed, now running their way out of the forest.
Lighter stood there in silence for a few minutes, then he finally spoke out words, "Let's get training then, okay?" he said in a serious but calm tone. He walked deeper into the forest, hoping he would find the cave he was looking for. After awhile, he found it, "Well here's our training spot, inside that cave," Lighter said, relieved that he did not meet anyone else that he could possibly be in familiar with. He turned around to take a look at his team, "So do you guys feel ready to train?" he asked the group, assumed they would now forget about his embarrassing conversation.
