"I'm fine with it if you are Emma." Avary said standing back up and glaring at his Charizard.

With their group expanded and a destination in mind, this unlikely bunch headed off on a journey to find a safe place. On the way there, the group was attacked by raiders. Emma had killed them without so much as a second thought, but unfortunately, Titania had fallen. Pushing past that, the remaining three maid their way to Litheral Town, with their final destination being the pokemon league.

Emma sat on top of the roof to an abandoned house, keeping watch. There weren't any zombies in this town, thank god, but there may just be raiders. All their supplies were inside, so they'd have to get past her. Who would raid in a desert town of nothingness? She wasn't too sure at all. She just knew it was a possibility. She looked at the night sky. It was so clear, just like when she first came, to challenge the gym. She still couldn't believe all this happened after she beat the elite four. She honestly hated it. She slapped her cheeks and said, "Emotions like that are useless..."
She then looked down at the barren streets below. They'd have to leave before dawn if they wanted to get as far as possible through the desert. Temperatures could get pretty extreme during the day.

Avary climbed up the ladder to the roof where Emma was on lookout.
"Hey Emma, you need help on lookout?" Avary said, then moved over next to her without waiting for an answer.
"What do you think we're going to accomplish with going to the Pokémon League?"

Litheral Town

Leon was by himself now since Avary had just climbed up to the roof to check on Emma. The boy was still trying to digest what had happened the last few days. He was part of a group now, but thinking about that had a bittersweet taste to it. It had not taken long until the first member was killed in an ambush...Lucas had tried to help, but it was all already too late. The group had decided to free Titania of her misery, and after a few minutes of silence continued on their way.

The mood was depressing, they were merely a trio of survivors now, trying to get to the Pokemon League. What would they encounter once they got there? "I guess only time will tell..." Leon answered to himself. He was getting bored and anxious, pacing around the tiny room. Should he go up to the roof as well? "Nah, someone needs to stay here and watch the supplies..."

Having nothing better to do, Leon decided to lay down. He wasn't tired at all, it was more a way to stop himself from going crazy.

"..." Emma stayed quiet at first. She would have preferred to be by herself, but she didn't say it. "The pokemon league should be safe. That's all." she said, still looking at the streets. She wasn't really in the mood for chatting.

>A wild Gible came up through a floor tile. It had a sandwich in its mouth.
>The Gible is brown and gray as opposed to the usual blue and red.

@NewMoonGamer
"I know it's safe, but what do we plan to accomplish, if we are trying to make a safe haven we should find others. I agree that it's a good idea to go there, but after that we should find others."
"UMB!" Umbreon yelled.
"Something's going on downstairs, Leon might need help."

[Zorogami]

Litheral Town

As Leon was laying down on the floor, thinking of days back in the past, a sound brought him back to reality. He got up into a sitting position, and checked his surroundings. Everything appeared to be calm and still in place, but he was sure there had been a sound. Suddenly, something moved in the corner of his eye.

Leon immediately jumped up and grabbed a Pokeball...then he realized it was just a little Gible. The tiny Pokemon looked cute. "Hey you...wait, is that a sandwich in your mouth? Where did you get that? Seeing a Pokemon eating was nothing special, but a sandwich? Someone must have made that?

The boy slowly approached the Gible, which had another remarkable feature about him: He had an unusual coloration. "Now little guy...how about you stand still...while I try to...GRAB YOU!"

Leon jumped towards the little Pokemon, trying to grab it so that it could not run away

The Gible quickly consumed the entire sandwich before quickly burrowing underground and coming up next to the wall behind Leon. The wild pokemon watched him carefully.

@Overlord24

Emma let out an inward sigh. She wasn't really keen on the idea of leaving after arriving. She decided not to voice her objections though, feeling that there wasn't really much of a point. "... I'll go see what's up." she said before climbing down, leaving her pokedex behind.

Litheral Town

Some crashing sounds were heard from the neighbouring building. A few seconds later a young man with a hat and a face mask covering his lower face appeared on the small balcony with a Greninja right behind him. "That was close... There sure is no shortage of crumbling infrastructure." The Greninja nodded in agreement before his attention turned to the sound of pokemon and people coming from the next building. The trainer and pokemon shared a look before the young man turned to the side, got one foot up on the railings of the balcony and jumped to the ledge of the roof of the building he was on. He pulled himself up and the Greninja quickly climbed up with him. He took off his bag and tossed it across the gap between the two buildings before backing up a few meters. He dashed forward and leapt onto the building's roof, softening the fall with a roll. Right then, he noticed a pokedex just a few paces away. The Greninja landed right beside him. "Looks like there really are some people here. Let's stay on our guards, just in case, though..." The Greninja nodded. Just as he was about to take his first step towards the stairs, he noticed someone standing in front of the stairs. He quickly ducked behind a broken down ventilator.

@NewMoonGamer
"Do you want me to come too?" Avary asked his friend who was walking towards the ladder down.

[NewMoonGamer]

@Overlord24

"Stay there and keep watch." Emma said before opening the door and seeing what exactly this commotion was. The little Gible was now making holes everywhere, burrowing under the floor and pushing up tiles. Emma glared at the beast. KOing it would be mean, so she decided against that idea. When the Gible caught her glaring at it, it hid behind Leon, scared of the scary human.
"... Deal with this, please." Emma said, her face relaxing to a deadpanned expression.

@NewMoonGamer
"Got it Emma." Avary listened to what was going on and heard the telltale signs of a Gible burrowing.
"Umbreon." Avary called to said Pokemon.
"Umb!"
"Go after Emma and scope out what's happening."

[Zorogami]

@NewMoonGamer

Leon had not expected the little Gible to be this agile. The boy crashed on the floor, but the Pokemon was long gone. He could hear it making holes behind him, and a quick gaze revealed him to be standing there, his sandwich gone and replaced by a grin that seemed to be mocking Leon. "Wait you little" he started saying, but Emma's sudden presence interrupted him.

She gave the Pokemon a look that might even scare some zombies away, and the little Gible decided that hiding behind Leon was the best way to protect itself. Emma's expression was empty, and her voice dry and neutral when she asked Leon to take care of the situation. He could imagine how the little incident made him look rather incompetent in her eyes...

"Well you...If you want to stay out of trouble and not make the mad-looking girl any angrier, you should stop making holes. Do you have a trainer?" he asked the little Pokemon, turning around to face it.

Litheral Town

The young man peeked his head over the ventilation shaft. Noticing that the person up there was just a kid, he stood up and pulled the mask down. "Hey," he called out. "I didn't know anyone else was in town but the dead." He wasn't sure what else to say, but it felt good to be able to talk to someone new.

Litheral Town

The Gible just gave Leon a confused look. It didn't seem to know what a trainer was. Emma watched to make sure it didn't continue its digging shenanigans.

[Overlord24]

@Sketcher
"How do you know I'm not dead? For all you know I could be one of the highly intelligent zombies used to lure in prey." Avary said looking at the person by the ventilation shaft.

[Sketcher]

Litheral Town

"Huh?" The young man stared befuddled at the boy. "Uh... I... don't know?" He hadn't expected such a bizarre yet naturally spoken answer. He shook his head, dismissing the thought. "In any case... How many people are here? I remember seeing at least one more person up here a moment ago..."
@Overlord24

[Overlord24]

@Sketcher
"People are unpredictable, I may be with more, but they aren't with me at this present time." Avary said, not even looking at the boy, looking towards the Pokemon League.

[Zorogami]

"Huh...maybe it does not understand me?" Leon thought, as the Gible's only response was a curious look. He didn't appear to have a trainer, otherwise he would have known what Leon was asking. Then where had the sandwich come from? The whole thing was rather confusing.

"Say Gible, what are you doing here?" He tried again, occasionally glancing at Emma, trying to read her reactions...to no avail.
