[center][h3][color=7ea7d8]-Yuu Nozomu : Route 29-[/color][/h3] Amidst the carnage, Yuu was consistently spraying any one of those fierce feather balls with pokemon repel. While they were trying to pounce on him in droves, the mob wasn't as big as the one around the piercing boy. He could seldom glimpse at what was going on, but he was too busy dodging a Hoothoot that imminently swiped past his legs, causing him to shoot his left foot up, leaving him comparable to the assailants. Of course, this was when he started a rather ridiculous maneuver. Another one of those brown bags attempted to tear his gut straight open when he noticed one dashing straight at him. Almost as if the world was moving at a slower rate, he bent himself over, averting biting the bullet, matrix style. Wooshing over him, Yuu toppled backwards even further, only maintaining his position with a fist dug straight into the ground... well. His hair stopped obscuring his eyes and welp, he got a good gaze over a couple of Hoothoots. namely ones who weren't sprayed from earlier. They looked pissed, and they were staring something on his face. Was it his ears, mouth, limp strands of hair, or nose? No, nein, not a single one. They were glancing deep into his eyes, as one tried to induce some hypnosis whilst the other made a mad dash for his eye. Tipping over, Yuu managed to avoid getting one of his eyes gouged out, but suffered from having part of his cheek sliced. It stung and thankfully the wound wasn't too deep to the bone. Finding himself on the ground, Yuu swiftly sprayed any Hoothoot from coming this way by showering them in more repel. Briskly, he shot up, finding that Noah was now completely surrounded by a humongous Horde of fledgling owls who were pecking at the crouched figure who appeared to be... shielding something? Was it that stupid mu-... no? That dog was bravely standing out in front of him, but then what or who was he protecting? That's when Yuu took one brief glance at Ivy and realized what was the actual problem. She lacked a pokemon, namely her Mareep. And then it all instantly happen. Once he turned his head to identify how the others were faring, a blaze engulfed the encompassing area, the colors of fire danced on the side of his face as his eyes began to widen in horror once again. This was something akin to a train crash in slow motion as he rotated his head to find, much to his dismay, that singular mutt was causing havoc. At this point, Yuu wasn't even surprised, considering the nature of such a diabolical creature. He dared not look, alas Yuu could neither look away; it was that horrible moment as the embers roared to life, crawling, twisting and turning as the air was filled with the pungent odor of singed Hoothoots. It started out brightly, illuminating the dwelling, but then began to spread like a forlorn plague. Much to his dismay, the whole ecosystem in this area was about to be reduced to nothing but ashes. While Noah escaped, that dog of damnation caused more trouble than it ensured, but that would be a respondent reaction for a later time. Grinding his teeth, the flames began to snare around and eat away. [color=7ea7d8]"Jeez, Sylvie, Terra, to me,"[/color] he shouted hoarsely; the dynamic duo were somewhat busy fighting off the remaining Hoothoot who were too courageous for their own good. Kicking one away, Sylvie responded by instantly walking over to him. Yuu wanted to heal the pokemon who was worn and weary, but he swiftly scooped her up as she panted, almost ready to collapse and recover. Terra on the other hand looked chipped and rugged, but didn't appear to be too injured. Throwing the repel into his bag, he swiftly retrieved Terra with his pokeball, the red beam clashing with the background of the fire. In a moments notice, everyone, including the Hoothoot's were retreating. Of course, Yuu wanted to call out to Abigail who was carrying Tyrian in her arms as she rushed into the inferno... only to come back out, unscathed. With a sigh and a sight, they began to fall back with Yuu following suit. He wasn't winded at all with his slow movement speed, but rather making sure everyone would be fine with nothing stalking the five. He lagged a little behind Cerise and Abigail, but boy oh boy... If anything, he was pissed. Pissed that Ivy and Noah decided it would be a grandeur idea to play baseball with the Hoothoot! Seriously! It was really infuriating that they did that, as it almost cost them their lives in the process, along with everyone elses in the group! A scowl was adorned on his face as he dashed, farther and farther away from the spreading fire... Yuu was thankful that the Noctowl refused to pursue any of them, some of the Hoothoots did, but they gave up. Once they were all far enough, Yuu began speaking in spurts between his voice, the wind coming in and out at regularish intervals. [color=7ea7d8]"Sylvie,"[/color] he whispered in a hushed voice, panting somewhat between the lines. [color=7ea7d8]"Wish on... yourself..."[/color] The small pokemon let out an exhausted [color=f49ac2]"vee,"[/color] looking to the side, over at her newest best friend. Then she closed her brightened eyes, meditating as she wheezed for a moment, before falling asleep with a slight illumination emanating from the Eevee; a sort of temporary spark that fluttered out. She hoped that Tyrian would be ok... he was in worse shape than her by a margin, even if it was somewhat shorter. That's what friends are for, right? [hr] Eventually, they all made it to Cherrygrove and Yuu was generally just... drained. He had little to no energy to unleash his vexation as most of it was used up running. The only thing he did do was give them a judgemental glare which would probably cut them both... and probably cause Noah to bleed to death if they were little more than metaphorical. Of course, he was rather taken aback by the verity that Sylvie looked as dogged as when they were amidst the devouring chaos. Who did she exactly use Wish on? Entering in with the rest, Yuu was hunched over, shaking his head with a perpetual frown on his face. At the moment, he just wanted to be left alone with only himself and his companions, i.e. pokemon. No human right now as he could accidentally lash out at one of them. Once inside, they all delivered their pokemon to get healed up, Terra included. Upon finishing that, Yuu let out an exasperated groan, putting his hands to his face as he slowly reclined. Honestly, this night could of been a lot better, but hopefully the next eve wouldn't result in undulated stupidity. Because honestly, Yuu believed that whole situation could of been averted by some amount of sensibility in the group... [color=7ea7d8]"What the actual hell,"[/color] he groaned, lingering around the empty lobby at who knows what the heck time is... wait. Taking a glance at the clock, you denoted that it was obviously ten fifty-one. His arms were sore and his legs were trembling, tuckered out, so he followed suit behind the green haired loli. Putting a hand to his cheek, he felt the crustiness of his own hardened blood as he began picking at the areas not involving the actual wound, peeling it off. Picking some of the darkened crimson from his fingers, he noticed a young male man accompanying Ivy. While he wasn't one for eavesdropping, he picked up on a few new tidbits of information that were not revealed to him earlier, but he would ponder on it later... When he was falling asleep of course. Yuu's mind was somewhat in the gutter, mainly because of dying, seething rage within. Shaking his head, Yuu immediately picked up the pace, his grunting becoming a bit more passive aggressive as he overtook the duo in speed and went straight into the suite of sorts that they were rented. It was a fairly simple room, five beds, table, tv, all the necessities that these rooms had. Of course, he wasn't in the mood to watch anything at the moment and rest assured, his gut told him no one else was interested in white noise too. Setting his bag by his bed, Yuu took note that the bathroom was occupied... the only one that had a shower. Undressing, Yuu removed his jacket and sweat stained green t-shirt, folding them nice and tidy as he could... and just throwing them by his bag. Sitting on the bed, shirtless, Yuu ruffled his hair for the most part, waiting until the bathroom was no longer preoccupied. A nice shower was in order and then the retrieval of Sylvie and Terra. And then the dawn of a new day in this familiar, foreign land...[/center]
