[center][color=7ea7d8][h3]-Yuu Nozomu : Route 29-[/h3][/color]

Well she appeared to be less than lively; Yuu found it somewhat different to hear a plain voice lacking little to no emotion, even with introductions. Even then, he wasn't going to bother discarding his affable appearance now. His smile did somewhat waver, his eyebrow slightly rising in interest before settling back where it formerly was; his shoulders unnoticeably scrunched up a bit. [color=7ea7d8]"Pleasure to meet you Ivy; that doesn't sound too much like a poisonous name."[/color]

Yuu chuckled a bit awkwardly, ruffling the back of his neck, denominating that it was less than tongue in cheek humor to just something plain idiotic. Scratch that from the list of things to talk about... especially flora; she has probably heard it all...

Plus, her hair was similar to the shade of leaves on a plant... hum.

Regardless, Yuu kept staying open, until word was made mention of a previous group that she became segregated from... yikes... wait. That sparked some curiosity in the boys eyes - why was she on this route with these people anyways? Did they get lost? No, Yuu was plenty certain that no one was that moronic enough to mix up routes, especially one leading to a pokemon lab and one leading to a city with a historical sight and gym leader... trainers flocked to those places like Dustox to gleaming light bulbs!

Yuu had a penchant for sticking his right thumb to his lips, finding himself lost in deep thought over something... that might now be important in hindsight, but a mystery is intriguing... most of the time.

He began staring directly at the girl, almost as if she was translucent, conceiving another idea. [color=7ea7d8][i]"Maybe... that group went to the lab to get their pokemon!... seriously, why do people go out of the way to perilous places to get their pokemon?"[/i][/color] Keeping himself from going off on a mental tangent, Yuu snapped back to the idea that revolved around said group coming earlier than this menagerie of youths... That made more plausible sense since they all came later than usual, so it would make sense for another group to have already departed.

Though, to truly invoke this as the truth, the witness would need to be prosecut- questioned... yeah.

Yuu saw the girl shuffling away, er, backing up slowly; was she shy or just unsociable? One last thing and he would leave her alone and see how Sylvie was doing... Pointing a finger at her, his hand almost resembling a gun a child would shape when playing, thumb erect, [color=7ea7d8]"Say, you wouldn't happen to of-"[/color]

And before his inquiry, a similar snobby girl appeared! Abigail to the rescue to randomly butt in and earn the aggravation of Yuu. Bracing himself for what she might say, her reply was somewhat... surprisingly mild, despite the snarkiness in her voice. Yuu began to frown just a bit, his eyebrows furrowing up as his eyelids began to become half shut. As she began to speak, Yuu rolled his eyes, shaking his head as she began to taunt him over the difficulty of this trip because he lacked some pokemon.

Shrugging, Yuu decided to tell her straight out what he was doing, instead of just having her complain 24/7 about how she was in ubers and how he was pu. [color=7ea7d8]"Funny you should mention that,"[/color] Yuu responded with blandness similar to Ivy. [color=7ea7d8]"Because for one I was busy trying to teach Cerise the basics of pokemon and induct her via a battle... tried to bring her Natu along and it used the move Ally Switch, so that's something."[/color] Shaking his head, Yuu crossed his arms as he decided to tell Abigail the rest, whether she wanted to hear it or not as he looked off to the side, jabbing a thumb at the duos shared tent.

[color=7ea7d8]"Mischievous, but most likely well bred if it has an egg move; might want to check if it has the inborn trait, Magic Guard."[/color] Yuu at this point didn't care whether Abigail decided to snark her way about how he was absolute trash and pushed himself up and dusted off his pants. Eyeing the green girl, Yuu decided to cut all ties of a conversation; later he would attempt to breakthrough but not now because of certain implication.

[color=7ea7d8]"Ivy, I can take a hint; apologies for forcing a conversation onto you; maybe next time,"[/color] Yuu genuinely beamed at the girl one last time before returning his attention to his rival. His facial expression wasn't at all replaced with chagrin, but rather a regular expression that lacked a smile, despite him not being in a particularly bad mood. Taking one glimpse around him, Yuu took in the environment before continuing the conversation.

[color=7ea7d8]"Anyways, seeing as no one has got any wood to start a fire,"[/color] Yuu nudged his head to the incomplete pit, almost shocked that no one decided to go out and grab any, [color=7ea7d8]"guess I'll go out and gather some; I should of done that first instead of attempting to have a session with Cerise."[/color] Shrugging, Yuu was almost about to call out to Sylvie until he discovered the girl was playing with Tyrian. They both looked... happy, despite the facet that Sylvie had the upper hand and was nuzzling his face whilst hugging him... huh.

That was something that elicited a smile from Yuu as he chuckled. [color=7ea7d8]"Heh, surprising that our pokemon get along better than us, eh?... maybe not, but still, they both appear to enjoy each others presence."[/color] Yuu took note of Tyrian as he playfully pulled at one of her ears. Yuu slowly began to walk over to the duo, dust following him as he reached them and gave a smile to Sylvie which she noticed, and stopped attempting to be the one on top as she looked up with huge, widened eyes.

[color=7ea7d8]"Looks like you made a new friend, huh,"[/color] Yuu smiled widely as he pet the ball of spikes and his furry companion, albeit acting cautious around the spikes, taking care not to jab himself with one. [color=7ea7d8]"Sorry you two, but I'm gonna have to break it up for now; Sylvie, we are going out to collect wood for the pit."[/color] Sylvie looked up, listening to his every word, nodding somewhat tearfully but in an understanding nature.

Ending her hugging/rolling/playing session with Tyrian, she hopped off, but not before giving him one last thing - an adorable nose nuzzle to his nose, even though he was upside down... She smiled happily, letting out a flurry of excited [color=f49ac2]"vee's,"[/color] which indicated that she would return in a bit. Scooping her up into his arms, Yuu began to cuddle her, playing with her for a bit before kneeling down, trying to get to Tyrians level.

[color=7ea7d8]"Hey, we will get to know each other better too, alright?"[/color] Yuu gave a solemn grin to the Nidoran as he gave him a gentle pat on the head, scratching his ears for a bit before returning to his original height. Pivoting and walking in the opposite direction, Yuu began to exit camp...

And so came the wilderness, recklessly beckoning to an equally rash boy...
[hr]
[color=f49ac2]-Sylvie-[/color]

As the pokemon bounced about, the smaller, more intriguing Tyrian had other plans as soon as she launched herself up again, something unexpected happen, something so unfamiliar that made Sylvie enjoy the fun she had with the Nidoran - he took the opportunity to intervene and invent a new way to play! Taken somewhat back at first, Sylvie gave quite a abrupt, but blaring [color=f49ac2]"VEE,"[/color] meshed in surprise and worry, though only briefly. Both of them began steamrolling a few tufts of grass before stopping.

Feeling the purple arms wrap around her neck, she looked up to see a chipper purple face. Smiling brightly, Sylvie felt very inclined to give him a hug, to which she wrapped her arms around his neck too, nuzzling his face, giggling between some hiccups of delight. Eventually, she let her grasp go and eventually, the small purple spiked ball of gooey mushy happiness did too! Giving some [color=f49ac2]"vee's"[/color] of encouragement, she began to prance around, bouncing up and down.

From what began to transpire, the Nidoran began to emulate what she did, though he did faceplant on to the tufts of grass after mimicking her for a few seconds. Stopping after noticing this, Sylvie romped over to him excitedly, giving him a nuzzle on his cheek. [color=f49ac2]"Eee, eevee!"[/color] Whatever she said, she spoke proudly, puffing her chest out as she gave her support... and then decided to do what Tyrian did form earlier... and began assaulting those poor tufts of grass, ambushing them at every route as Sylvie waggled her tail.

This was absolutely rapturous for her!

But alas, all good things were to come to an end, as she was this time on top, somewhat turning the tables as she hugged Tyrian exceptionally tight. Rubbing the side of her face on his, she exhibit sheer glee as she stayed in that position... until taking note of Daddy arriving. Taking note of his words, she gave a heartfelt nod, saddened that it was time to temporarily stop playing with her new friend... slowly letting go, she bounced off with less spirit than before, but not before giving one last present to Tyrian.

As slow as a Slugma, she strode up...

Closer, nearing him again...

slowly... almost there...

And gave him a boop on the nose with her own before being scooped up into Yuu's arms, too which began the fever of having her ears scratched. Bliss settled in as she gave relaxed sounds, chirping in pleasure as she lay there. Of course, that had to stop too as she felt the petting stop, and his arms slightly loosening. Peering over the edge, she noticed Yuu petting her new friend! Smiling at him, her widened eyes stayed focused on him as her ears wiggled briskly. It wasn't then until they both had to go.

Giving one last glance, she spoke with a very weak, almost ethereal [color=f49ac2]"veeeee,"[/color] as one of her arms protruded from her bed... and she waved with a bittersweet good bye, her eyes blinking at rhythmic intervals. Even though it was sad, she wished Tyrian could at least come with them... it would be so much fun, right?

...

Eventually, after walking for a bit out of camp, Yuu set Sylvie down, but not before she pressed her own nose against his pant leg. Kneeling down, Yuu smiled and gave her ears some scratching before getting back to the pressing matter at hand...

They were alone, solo, no one else trailing along with him and Sylvie... Not even her new best friend.
[hr]
It may have been suicidal, but damn him if he did not have the guts to keep the people he was traversing with safe. As the boy walked alongside his pokemon with his backpack on him, the duo retrieved any stick that had the possibility of being used in a fire, especially the drier looking ones. Yuu whistled a tune as the duo continued on with their task, the Eevee pouncing on tufts of grass and munching on the occasional half-eaten berry. Yuu wished to quench his hunger too, and attempted to not stray too far from the camp.

As Sylvie continued to help her friend gather sticks, she stumbled across a rather large rock. Just the way it felt, there was something different about this one than the one she placidly smacked to the side when walking on the path. Yuu didn't denote it as anything unusual for the most part as he grabbed a nearby stick from it before going off. Glaring at it, she began responding to it in a more cautious matter, staying confident as she spoke. [color=f49ac2]"Vee, eee, eevee! Vee, vee, eee, vee eee!"[/color]

As the man continued to gather sticks, he heard the ongoing cries of his friend. As strange as it was, she stopped completely to cry at a rock. Trudging over, Yuu eyed the small, craggy rock with utmost suspicion before responding to the Eevee. [color=7ea7d8]"Er, are you ok Sylvie,"[/color] Yuu quizzed, worried about her frantic condition. The closer he examined both, the more he could tell why for her peculiar condition. [color=7ea7d8]"Hum, this just looks like a-"[/color]

[color=a36209]"Dude!"[/color]

Yup, definitely not a rock, but a [color=7ea7d8]"Geodude!"[/color] The rock lunged forward at Yuu, who managed to almost evade it's tackle with a pivot, the latter scrapping a bit by his arm. The Geodude toppled onto the ground before rolling, staring furiously at the duo. The Eevee rushed forward and took a defensive stance in front of her friend, furrowing her eyebrows as she frowned. Hostility was flowing throughout the air between the two engaging parties; Yuu had no choice but to fight the Geodude who had a rocky exterior but a fiery heart.

[color=7ea7d8]"We are getting a bit side tracked, but we can use this time to prepare for the bigger mission! Sylvie, lets start this whole spar off with a sand attack!"[/color] While these were different words, Sylvie obeyed, running forward, before pivoting and dragging her hind legs into the dirt, causing dynamically small objects, along with the dust, to be into the Geodude eyes, blinding her. As their opponent ran into the cloud of dirt, she retaliated with a tackle which Yuu swiftly caught, giving another crisp and determined command. [color=7ea7d8]"Sylvie, move to the left!"[/color] Quickly, Sylvie bounced to the side, nearly making contact with the solid stone who toppled forward, thought that was to close for comfort. Still, for a novice, she was performing exceptionally well already, learning how to battle.

The Eevee, getting a feeling of what to do, performed a basic sand attack in the way of the Geodude. And like the last, she managed to escape unscathed due to the attempted tackle that was made blatantly obvious by the rushing figure. Yuu knew this was going to take some time to keep this up, but with a stretch of his imagination, he gained a new idea to tip the scales. [color=7ea7d8]"Sylvie, watch this!"[/color] The small pokemon became distracted by her partner who demonstrated what he wanted her to do while running around in a miniature circle whilst kicking up a dust storm. Taking this time to made sure her hit landed, the wild Geodude crashed into the Eevee, harming her yet again.

As she was launched forward a few inches, rolling on the ground, Sylvie dusted herself off, the trainer and pokemon looking piqued from that surprise attack. Taking into account what she saw, Yuu gave her the same command in an attempt to assist her in learning. [color=7ea7d8]"Alright, you got the memo on what I did! Do a sand attack the way I was doing it!"[/color] Sylvie, gave a confident cry before dashing into the fray and performing a sand attack while running around the enemy. This disoriented the Geodude who gave a frustrated cry before randomly tackling into the storm of dirt... and completely missing the Eevee who was adjacent to her.

[color=7ea7d8]"Awesome job out there Sylvie! That Geodude won't see anything coming next!"[/color] The Eevee, despite being a bit beaten, turned her head and expressed her joy while smiling, [color=f49ac2]"Vee, veee!~"[/color] Sure, they were fighting for their lives to an extent, but this was also bonding between two friends. However, one friend got a face full of rocks as the Geodude launched themselves into the Eevee, completely relying on sound to guide her. Their trance broken yet again, Yuu commanded the Eevee to retaliate against their impudence through a tackle, despite knowing it wouldn't do much other than further anger the Geodude. Sylvie obeyed, slamming into the rock before landing on the side a few feet away from her.

Preparing a new stratagem, Yuu began pondering on the attacks she could know currently before recalling that the fox-like pokemon knew growl and tail whip. It wasn't difficult to perform it, however this pokemon was desperately relying on sound, so not only Sylvie would need to be careful, but himself too. [color=7ea7d8]"Alright Sylvie, I have a new plan for you,"[/color] Yuu shouted as he kept his pace up as the Geodude launched herself at his former position. [color=7ea7d8]"When it gets a clear vision of you, try using tail whip and growl as it should decrease the chance they want to fight. Also, if they're coming your way, I'll try to notify you so you can avert any harm, ok?"[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"Vee,"[/color] she responded, determined to live up to what Yuu asked of her. Making the most adorable sounds ever, the Eevee growled at the Geodude to not only frighten it, but decrease its fighting spirit. The rock turned before moving towards the sound before noticing there was something moving behind the thing. Regardless of what happened, she continued going at it until the Geodude launched herself. Yuu gave the warning and neither of them made contact with each other.

[color=7ea7d8]"Alright, tackle the Geodude, then rinse and repeat!"[/color] The strategy was going well with a hit and run tactic by Yuu which was crudely (but successfully) performed by Eevee who kept her length away from the pokemon while chipping away at its liveliness. Things were going well for the duo, and they had a shot of either falling or catching the Geodude at this rate!...

... until the Geodude got a lucky, well placed shot at Sylvie.

Yuus partner had a difficult time keeping up after that blow and looked rather winded despite the fact that the Geodude was sufficiently hurt, but not to the point of defeat. Before continuing on with the strategy, Yuu requested her to pull off another growl and tail whip combo to weaken her opponent. Sylvie found it to feel inappropriate for her, but at this point she needed to recover. She disobeyed Yuu much to his surprise to stand and... meditate for a bit? In a few seconds, Yuu swore he saw a spark come out from her before watching the Geodude hit the Eevee again, with another weakened [color=f49ac2]"Veeee..."[/color]

As Yuu pushed his partner to the edge, he felt bad inside for going a bit far with her. The boy decided to pay homage to her by taking on the Geodude himself while she rested and recuperated from her wounds with a little manufactured store bought medicine. [color=7ea7d8]"You did pretty well Sylvie; sorry for pushing you to your limits, but now it's time for me to help you,"[/color] Yuu exclaimed as he held firmly onto a pokeball he intended to use in slowing down the Geodude. Knowing the aggressive nature of pokemon, and the fact that their opponent was not weak enough to be caught or defeated, he opted for sacrificing one singular pokeball so that Sylvie might make it out of the fight.

With all his might, Yuu launched the ball directly at the rock as it began turning around to respond to the voice... before a bright red light encompassed the Geodude, temporarily ensnaring her. Using this time to his advantage, Yuu swiftly moved to his injured pokemon, his backpack in tow.

As the boy rushed over to tend to the wounded Eevee, he kept tabs on how many times the pokeball fidgeted as it wouldn't be long until the Geodude emerged. As Yuu went through his backpack, he immediately found a potion but not before seeing a little twinkle out of the corner of his eye. The teen was... pleasantly surprised by the results as he was shocked to see his Eevee unscathed and looking better than before the battle. This meant the pokemon might have a move he did not account for.

[color=ed1c24][b]*Beep*[/b][/color]

Yuu heard the first tick as he eyed the pokeball which was rolling around. As he mused over the move, he came to a conclusion that it had to be a recovery move he learned of in school. The move was delayed, which puzzled him a bit as it felt familiar to him. As he pondered on it Sylvie let out a very pleased cry as she bounced happily, feeling refreshed from the wish. [color=7ea7d8][i]"A somewhat delayed recovery... which only means one thing this move she used is called Wish!"[/i][/color]

Coming to that conclusion, Yuu eyed the pokeball as a small crack began to form on the red. That gave him the sign the he needed to pick up the pace as an impending skirmish was about to begin again. [color=7ea7d8]"Sylvie,"[/color] Yuu called out to the playful pokemon who was striking a victorious pose. The Eevee responded by garnering her friend attention and gleefully responded with a simple [color=f49ac2]"Vee!"[/color]

Smiling momentarily before going back to a serious expression, he decided to make his next topic about the Geodude they encountered. That pokemon was going to break out any second now so he had to be brief about his whole speech. [color=7ea7d8]"Uh, Sylvie, we have to be quick on this, that Geodude is going to break out any second now so we are going to improvise."[/color] While he was talking, a great flash of red light came from the shattered pokeball with the Geodude who looked more angered after that little stunt.

[color=a0410d]"Geo geodude, dude!"[/color]

An imminent fight was upon them once more as the rock launched herself at Yuu only to be countered by a swift tackle from Sylvie. Yuu figured away to keep pressure off the Eevee while not interfering much with the battle. In an instant, Yuu dashed forward and kicked some dust into the Geodudes face startling it slightly. This gave enough leeway for the Eevee to hit it with another tackle. [color=7ea7d8]"Sylvie, go for it! Hit the Geodude with a tackle!"[/color]

The Eevee stared, entranced at what Yuu was doing before snapping back to reality before her. The pokemon recalled the teens command and ran at the Geodude, slamming into it with all her might. The Geodude took the hit a bit harder than the last few, meaning it was on its last legs. In retaliation for the attack, the Geodude hastily carried out a tackle as it sluggishly launched itself forward at Sylvie, grunting as it made contact with the Eevee. She let out a small grunt as she was pushed back a few feet at the weakened blow, but she was prepared for another dance between the duo.

This went on for a couple of minutes as the pokemon began procuring new, interesting strategies from Yuu to mitigate damage. Over the small time their mindset grew...

Eventually, the end drew near.

Of course, Yuu was also prepared to intervene with a pokeball as he wasn't going to pull a stunt to disable their opponent like that again as it inhibited Sylvies learning curve. Along with that, he knew he could not exactly perform that in trainers battles. Yuu sighed, understanding the only way to truly assist is to allow her mind to get into a state where it could predict chains of movements with an opponent... that and the occasional pokeball. The boy crossed his arms and sighed in disappointment of how limited his actions were before refocusing on the task at hand. Sylvie could easily sustain a lot more hits, but would have to heal up if another critically placed hit was landed.

Feeling helpless and like a failure, Yuu figured he could be the one to safeguard once Sylvie was taught myriads of lessons in battling... if she truly wanted that. Either way, right now was fight or flight and with a Geodude as determined as this, Yuu did not want to dump his problem on those trying to set up the campsite... however, finding a Geodude tearing down tents like they were some sort of monster terrorizing a city would be slightly hilarious... if not for the intent.

Snickering a bit, Yuu barely had enough time to react to the Geodude who was taking advantage of this respite. This piqued him as he was getting distracted by meager things! He had to focus! Rinse and repeat to end this fight. [color=7ea7d8]"Alright, Sylvie, Wishie Washie!... I seriously need better names for these strategies,"[/color] Yuu grumbled to himself as Sylvie got into a position a prayer. Yuu kept an eye out on the Geodude, surveying how it would assert itself now.

The Geodude, bemused at the whole event sneered as it prepared to take advantage of the Eevees vulnerable state. Defiantly launching itself forward once more, Yuu echoed a familiar command.[color=7ea7d8]"Sylvie, execute!"[/color] Sylvie was still getting used to the commands, so she was slow on the up taking and she only struck after processing what he meant, only retaliating in surprise when the Geodude pinned down the Eevee through kicking the rock with her free legs.

[color=7ea7d8]"Oh crap,"[/color] Yuu uttered as he dashed toward the trapped Eevee. Even with the Geodude holding on firmly, their grip was loosening as the Eevee slowly weakened it with kicks. Eventually, Yuu was a few feet away from the duo, before the Geodude let go... while directly being launched from a well placed hit by Sylvie. Yuus eyes widened in fright as the rock flew towards his chest. Despite it probably going to leave a nice looking bruise or a broken sternum, he honestly did not want to be a bigger burden to the group or his Eevee. Thinking swiftly, the boy shot his arm out, throwing the free pokeball at the Geodude, halting its assault.

With that said, the pokeball plummeted down to the ground as it began the count down.

[color=ed1c24]*Beep*[/color]

Yuu walked over to Sylvie to check how she was fairing in this situation. She was still lying on her back, trying to recollect what she just did as the hit was much more powerful than the rest. As the boy frowned nervously, he continued to check for any other harmful blows he failed to note. [color=ed1c24]*Beep*[/color] Other than a few mild scratches from what he could make out, Sylvie appeared perfectly fine as she hopped up and dusted herself off. Before bouncing around gleefully, spurting out cute growls as she hopped constantly.

The troubled teen toiled within his mind, sighing at the fact that he stopped the momentum. He preferred not only to withdraw the chance of injuries as someone getting harmed this early could lower the morale... maybe. Other than that, he glossed over his partner before whistling to get her attention. [color=ed1c24]*Beep*[/color] The prancing ball of fun came to a complete halt at the sound of her friends command and responded with a delighted [color=f49ac2]"Vee!"[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"Sylvie, could you please use Wish on yourself just in case the Geodude breaks free somehow,"[/color] Yuu requested, eyeing the pokeball as if it could cause a catastrophe any moment now. The small pokemon focused, uttering something in a language only other pokemon could understand before a small spark emerged from her with Sylvie exclaiming joyfully.

*Click*

Yuu was surprised the moment he heard that noise. The red and white ball had stopped wiggling back and forth... did he actually manage to catch a new partner? Cautiously moving forward, Yuu pondered on how the Geodude might react to the boy and Eevee considering what transpired a few minutes ago.

The teen slowly kneeled down as the boy rested his leg on the ground temporarily as he snatched the pokeball from where it lay. Sylvie sniffed it from where she was standing, befuddled at the fact by a stroke of she's luck, they managed to capture... a rock with eyes!

Riveting, huh?

[color=7ea7d8]"... now that your here... maybe you've calmed down a bit?"[/color] Yuu tried to not dwell on the question any longer as he shot back up and anxiously released the Geodude. As performed this, he sported a smile to try and befriend the Geodude as it came out in a flash of red light. As it shook itself, it noticed the familiar environment, recognizing it on a whim... and most importantly the duo it fought. From the way it glared, the Geodude appeared to be bitter about the whole predicament.

[color=7ea7d8]"H-hey buddy, sorry about that we didn't mean any harm,"[/color] Yuu spoke as the rock crossed its arms, hopping forward a few inches. As it did so, the rock slightly winced in pain, and tried to veil the pained expression but was unsuccessful in their endeavor. [color=7ea7d8]"Er, Sylvie, maybe you could use Wish on... him or her?"[/color]

As Yuu spoke, it attempted to launch a weak attack which the teen avoided by backing up a few inches. Yuu rubbed the back of his neck for a bit, before trying his best to befriend the difficult pokemon once more. [color=7ea7d8]"Seriously though, I'm sorry for what we did... it was more in self-defense... maybe I could make it up with some food?"[/color] A few seconds after he spoke, a small part appears on the rock before noticeably infusing the Geodude with more vigor. It stood there, mystified at what just happened. As it processed the whole situation, the rock just sighed and begrudgingly hopped to the boys side. It made the situation seem more like she was forced to deal with Yuus presence for now.

[color=7ea7d8]"Well, welcome to the group then,"[/color] Yuu said as he began procuring the dropped sticks once more. The small ball of fur pounced onto a couple of sticks and began collecting marginal amount it could carry in its mouth, before delivering them to Yuu and dashing straight into a bush. The Geodude rolled it's eyes and sat itself on the ground as the two worked. [color=7ea7d8]"... er, Terra, if you want that name..."[/color]

The Geodude appeared unexpectedly satisfied with it as it rolled back and forth, it's frown slightly lifting.

...

As Yuu carried a bundle of fallen sticks and twigs, Terra hopped along with two twigs centered on her right arm, and Sylvie in tow with a couple of berries. It had taken a couple of minutes to gather what they had an a little more, but this would be more than enough for the night. For a moment as Yuu approached the camp site, the two pokemon simultaneously stopped, and began looking around as if they had seen a ghost. Yuu took note of this once he found the two lagging behind him, rotating his head to see what the stop was for.

[color=7ea7d8]"... er, you two can worry about the wilderness later if that's ok as we are just a few feet away from camp. Come on you two, no lollygagging,"[/color] the boy said, breaking the pokemon from their trance as they cautiously traversed forward at their allies side. Even though they continued forward, it didn't exactly put Yuu at much ease either from the way they were reacting as he tilted his head to eye his surroundings behind them before traversing forward again. As they reached the site, Yuu made out the silhouettes of the tents scattered about the place as dusk trudged forward.

As he looked around, he accounted for the positions of each tent, and opted to arrange the sticks and wood he collected appropriately so they wouldn't go to waste. Yuu said they could put down the sticks and Sylvie could share some of the berries as he could take it from there. Gathering the sticks Terra dropped, Yuu began setting the dry wood in the center of the dwelling, along with organizing them as Sylvie romped off. The Geodude, with nothing better to do, hopped after the swifter pokemon, curious as to what it might do.

Eventually, everything was settled and arranged; with the bundle of sticks that would be utilized later sitting by the large rock she was on, Yuu procured his personal camping lighter from his bag. Giving it a few clicks, the item eventually flickered to life, a small flame dancing on the edge of his finger tips. Grabbing one of the sticks from the center, Yuu lit it ablaze before spreading it to the rest of the wood, which crackled and sparked. Turning it off, Yuu cheerfully stared at the blaze that was born, sitting on the rock nearby as he stared at it whilst supervising his pokemon.

Setting his bag to the side, he began to shuffle through it, searching for some of forlorn item, quietly whistling a tune from a band that played classical music, Sync.
