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

The rest of the group was surprisingly quiet; no one was exactly quarreling, and Yuu hadn't been reproached by Abigail because of some random reason. It was quite relaxing to say the least, despite the disparity of the environment. Of course, Yuu made sure to properly feed his two pokemon as they squatted around the campfire, chomping away at the meal he somewhat cooked over the blaze... if only he had any skill in baking. The tearing away at the simple dinner, it was spicy as he always liked it.

Looking down at the two, he gave a fond smile as Sylvie gave what looked to be an Oran Berry to Terra, who integrated it into her food. While she was a hard head, she didn't seem all that too aggressive at the moment, especially after earlier. Eventually, the duo were filled from the freshish vegetables and other assortments of food. Devouring the last scrap of the whole sandwich, Yuu turned his eyes to the sky, watching as the settling dark was coming upon them.

Of course, suffice to say, he declared to himself that it would be a good idea to go on watch for the night, just in case he needed to alert the encampment over an ambush from some pokemon. Looking around came the shoddy tent with Noah who looked to be sound asleep with that... that frickin' abomination. No way he was asking for help from him, especially since he had that damnable demonic deceiver near him... it might be the one to gut them all and dash into the night once the deed was done, howling victoriously.

Yup, nuh uh, noooooope, not gonna bother with him.

There was, of course, the one twelve year old looking chick who he trusted was old enough to be traveling. Tent zipped up, she was... probably not in the mood, especially after earlier... which meant there were two more nominees - Abigail and Cerise. When his eyes came to those two, they were busy getting ready for bed. Of course, Yuu wanted to approach Cerise and request for her to do it, but from the way she acted, she seemed relatively new to this all.

Don't get him wrong, he was sure she was reliable, but he needed to be firm.

Scrunching his nose and rubbing the back of his head, he arose from his place and trudged towards Abigail, sighing in contempt as Sylvie decided to follow after, while the Geodude stared fiercely into the blooming flames. At first he was reluctant to see if she would agree, but despite the attitude she portrayed, it was pleasantly surprising to find that she would be willing to switch spots once he was done with his proclaimed shift.

... huh.

Eventually everything came to pass with Abigail and Cerise retiring to their tent, with Yuu taking the first watch of the night. Toying with what was left of the fire, the crimson embers wilted, sparking back to life for a couple of seconds before dying down, the process repeating as Yuu studied the fire with a frown. His tent was occupied by one being - his companion, Sylvie. Fast asleep, the small pokemon was happily slumbering the night away, Yuu putting the coat over her as a makeshift blanket, leaving him in a green tank-top.

Submerged in the dirt next to him was Terra, who decided to dig a place to sleep, rather than join the fuzzball. At most, she was glad to be in her own environment; relaxed to spell the least. Yuu gave her a gentle pat, smiling laxly at her before going back to stirring the fire, keeping it from being too bright, lest it would be on him who attracted the attention of some malicious pokemon. The murmur of the darkness in wait, the sounds of howling in the distance were displaced with eerie silence as the night went on. A shiver was sent down the boys back.

What if he wasn't able to properly announce the threat? What if someone was severely injured in the process? What if?

These series of toiling questions plagued his mind as he continued to play with the fire, hand on his chin. Would he be a good ally to everyone else? Would he be a grand friend to the pokemon who would join him. Sighing, nothing truly fazed him currently... well.

Not until [b]that[/b] transpired.

Whatever the gods sought to do, a massive earthquake was upon the group of people, inspiring terror into the boy who fell off to the side, the ruckus of the earthquake causing the dying embers to completely vanish from sight, instilling the teen into a realm of darkness. His face was in utter shock; eyes widened, jaw slackened, mind a mess as he knelt down onto the ground, elbows digging into the dirt. He dug his teeth into his lips as the sound of a few trees in the distance began crashing from the tremor, before suddenly a violent one erupted, causing a tree to destroy the tent of Ivy.

Yuu's eyes were widened in complete horror, his iris' dilating, lids twitching. No... no way. She couldn't be dead, he wouldn't accept one of his companions dying on him. Weakly, he shoved himself up, and traced the silhouette of his backpack in the darkness, it being tipped over. Swiftly procuring the lighter and some nearby sticks, Yuu threw the dry wood into the pit before quickly setting it ablaze, giving new light to the territory.

Hearing a voice over anyone being hurt, Yuu turned his visage to the boy with a now crumpled tent trying to figure out what was going on. Well, looks like the mutt nor the earthquake got Noah, so that was good news... and then the stench of even greater news! No casualties as that shorter green haired girl emerged from her tent with words as well. Wait, was she... oooh, ooh... yeah, that was worrisome. It could get infected or worse...

Then there was the fear of Abigail and Cerise not being ok. Head swiveled to the duos tent who seemed to be surprisingly inta- [color=7ea7d8]"Uhm, what are you two... what is up with your pa... no, not going to bother asking, that's not the focus right now,"[/color] Yuu spoke, exasperated as he took note of the two being in a rather provocative position. There was also Abigails pajamas which were purple... and had smiley face clouds on it.

He wasn't going to judge, as he gave them both a soft smile. [color=7ea7d8]"Glad to see everyone's ok for the most part..."[/color] Judging by the damage, even the homes of wild pokemon were most likely reduced to fallen oak and destitute shambles. Rushing over to his tent, Yuu found Sylvie to be visibly shaken, but ok for the most part... considering she pounced onto him the moment the tent was opened. Rubbing his face, she was visibly frightened about this whole predicament, but Yuu would console her for a bit, especially since there was an injury he needed to attend to.

[color=7ea7d8]"Hey, no need to be afraid; I'm here for you, alright,"[/color] Yuu cooed, trying to dissuade the pangs of frightfulness in her. While it wasn't fleeting, she decided to hop on his head to rest, shivering as Yuu retrieved and put on his coat. Terra was up, groggily rolling about as she put two of her hands onto her forehead. Looking at Ivy, Yuu dove into his bad, his eyes furrowing up as he found one of the two first aid kits in his now perturbed bag. It quite drove him to insanity noting that it was a sheer mess, but he wasn't going to attend to it now.

[color=7ea7d8]"Have no idea, but for the most part, I'm more worried about that wound of hers festering since the seismic activity has cooled down for now,"[/color] Yuu retorted, not caring if he wasn't talking to him. Looking through the bag, he found some disinfectant, needles, bandages, the works. Of course, all he needed for now was the gauze and disinfectant, though some mild water would help as well as he brought not only his kit, but backpack as well.

[color=7ea7d8]"Y'know, you two can just borrow my tent for the night if you like,"[/color] Yuu mumbled as he tore the wraps from the roll, separating them each by size, making it obvious which of the three were for her arm. Grabbing a water bottle, he began to wet the gauze as he beckoned the girl over; it looked like he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

But even so, Sylvie grew frightened of the night, even the scattered Terra too as they both glanced at their surroundings, primarily the trees. Both were dead silent, with the enigma of dusk looming over.[/center]
