After a second, she watched Hope start out and then Nici go after him. For a brief moment, she hesitated to go after them both but then stopped and looked at Ken and then the Poochyena. "I'm... going to go check on the Sneasel once more before I head to bed," she murmured before standing up and walking over towards the hall that led to the Sneasel's room. [/scrolly]

[MCstorms]

The Absol turned his head to see the girl. Further more she knew his name his trainer had never had friends or anything of the sort before now. Hope turned to Nici "I'm leaving ,going Somewhere just don't know where yet. Don't worry about me I'll be fine you go get some rest." Hope turned to walk away again and Absol began to follow. It was better this way at least that's what hope was convincing himself.

[Maid Melody]

The Poochyena blinked Nicki moved her and told her to stay where she was. Despite the girl's orders, the Poochyena jumped off the couch and followed the girl outside to find that Hope was trying to leave ... again. Barking furiously, she chased after the boy and grabbed ahold of the bottom of the boy's jeans. She wasn't about to let go unless he came back inside with the others and her eyes said as much.

The Sneasel had been resting quietly until Nami entered the room. Sitting up, the Sneasel looked at her, curious as to why she was here. Sure he was grateful that she had helped him out there but ... even still, the Sneasel wasn't one to trust easily >> though Ken was the exception ... but then again, the Combusken had carried him to the pokecenter so that was self-explanatory.

Nicki felt her hands curl into fists, she wouldn't take no for an answer, she decided as she felt her chin rise slightly in defiance. "You wanna leave, fine, but wait 'til tomorrow. You can figure out where you're goin' and regain your strength." She remember her mother teaching her all the importance of sleeping, so energy would seep back into it's place and a girl could get up feeling strong enough to take care of all her chores with enough time to learn a thing or two from her mother's lessons. Learning that to know where you're going was something Nicodemus had learned herself, after the years of living with her family had gone away. Of course, she still had no real idea where she was going, but she could feel in her heart she was getting closer everyday, with every step she took. But then again, it could be her death her heart was leading her to. Perhaps the end of her time was waiting just behind her, nipping at her heels with each brisk step she took out in the wilderness with nothing but her wits, will, and Pokemon to help her. She might have no problem with dying, she might have nothing left to live for but her own stubborn defiance, but she had no doubt this man before her had a whole world to look forward to. She wouldn't let him throw that away with one stupid move. A shrill yip sounded behind her and she swiveled her head in alarm to find the Poochyena charging toward her current opponent. She couldn't help but smile a little. For all the trouble the little pup had gone through, it still wouldn't sit still until everyone else was taken care of first. She had to hand it to the furry bundle, it sure was stubborn. She looked up at Hope, "Come on, I think the Nurse might have some stew, or at least something to warm us up." The girl grinned, "If you favor you're ankle, you better listen." [/scrolly]

Stopping a moment in the archway, she was quiet for a few seconds before offering a half smile and finally stepping fully into the room. "Hey... how are you feeling?" she asked. [/scrolly]

[MCstorms]

Absol growled at the small dog before hope called him off. "Thanks ,but no thanks I have out stayed my welcome." Hope shook his ankle to shake the poochyena off. "Tell Nami goodbye for me and tell the sneasel I'm sorry." Hope began to walk away again he could ruff it in the cold he was smart he wouldn't die that easy.

[Maid Melody]

The Poochyena wasn't about to give up even when Hope shook her off. Dashing after him, she used Take Down in an attempt to make Hope stop before once again latching onto his ankle. She wasn't going to let Hope get away darnit! D<

The Sneasel nodded at Nami when she asked if he was all right and studied her, wondering why she had come here in the first place. Well ... Ken was her Pokemon right and he had saved him ... perhaps Ken's trainer would be kind as well.

She'd tried the nice way, and it wasn't working. Now it was time to switch it to her way, the fun way. He wouldn't cooperate, she'd make him. "Stop bein' stupid, damn it." She felt a heat spark up in her blood and her head began to pound with a soft pulse, slowly growing. "No one said you had to leave, and if Nami had any say, she'd want you to stay." She glared at him, slightly angered he actually shook off the little pup that only wanted him safe. She watched the small canine simply pick itself up and charge up after him in a Take Down. She grinned at the Poochyena, tempted to back it up, but deciding that might be pushing it a little. She took two steps and stopped in the freezing cold, with nothing to protect her skin. She was absolutely freezing at this point, but she couldn't feel it over the heavy pulse in her head, driving her to stay out. "You stay tonight and I don't care if you go to hell tomorrow, but you ain't leavin' til' sunrise." She was more than willing to back that statement, no matter how much pain it caused, it would save a life. And if the pup could do it, than so could she. [/scrolly]

"I'm not here to hurt you... I just... wanted to make sure you were ok..." she hesitated before smiling a little and stepping more into the room before finally sitting down into a chair. "I... I know you were in pain and I....know you didn't mean to scare the Zigzagoon twins..." she said quietly continuing to look at the Sneasel. [/scrolly]

[MCstorms]

Hope didn't look back towards Nici rather he made a sound like Hmph and began to walk ignoring the Pokemon on his ankle. His Absol followed not doing anything about the small dog just yet. Hope figured he would get tired and run back to Nici. "Like I said thanks , but no thanks I.." Hope stopped mid speech. Then he fell to the snow beside him. Not moving an inch afterwards he had feinted. Absol's eye's grew wide as he unleashed a Psychic at the Poochyena. He blamed him for this.

[Maid Melody]

The Poochyena didn't even blink when the Absol used Psychic on her ... what was that supposed to be, some fancy light show or something? <"I would think you would be helping me instead of trying to hurt me with that fancy light show you call an attack. If he stays out here he'll freeze,">The poochyena growled at the Absol before trying to more or less drag Hope back to the Pokecenter.

The Sneasel blinked at Nami, surprised at what he was hearing ... sure she had helped him and ... but ... how did she know about the Zigzagoon. Ashamed that he had let his anger and pain get the best of him, the Sneasel looked away from Nami, sighing softly. He was weak ... there was no reason he couldn't have withstood the pain ... he should've been able to remain calm. If he had, then this whole fiasco could have been prevented in the first place.

Why? Why couldn't he just cooperate? She was tired and cold, she just wanted a blanket to curl up with and fall asleep in. Anywhere would do, she didn't care. She didn't want to stand here and get frostbite just because this jerk off couldn't think straight in the snow. She was about to shoot another sharp threat and possible a string of not-so-nice-words when her little canine friend tackled the fool into unconsciousness. She stared, absolutely shocked, unbelieving what had just happened. When had the pup gotten so violent? Of course, after the Absol threatened to attack the Poochyena, Nicki couldn't help herself from yelling at the white demon. "No!" It didn't seem to do much anyway. The Poochyena simply glared at it and glared hard, making Nicki laugh hard. She wiped at a semi-frozen tear trying to slip down her cheek and forced her legs into a trot through the frozen slush to the human's body. "Okay, I'll help." she panted, grabbing a piece of clothing and tugging as hard as she could, feeling the dead weight glide over the icy snow. They'd get there. She turned and glared at the Absol. "You gonna sit there and stare or get your ass over here and help us out?" Heck of a companion. At that moment, Nicodemus was more than happy to have the twins, Blaze, and the others. She knew they'd help her when she needed it. [/scrolly]

"Wait I didn't mean... I mean... " Nami stopped talking and slowly forced herself closer to the Sneasel before gently hugging the dark and ice type careful of his nails. "It's alright...." she finally said trying to sound as soothing as she possibly could. [/scrolly]

Then he dashed towards the front of the poke center. He then violently barked at Nici. something along the lines of put him down or face the consequences. As far as he knew Hope had been injured by them he was going to sit idle and let them take him away. If Hope had tught him anything it was to not trust strangers. [/scrolly]

[Maid Melody]

The Poochyena yelped when she was hit by the Mega Horn and effectively knocked off of Hope. Struggling to remain conscious, the Poochyena managed to sit up and glare at the Absol. <"You idiot, what part of 'your trainer will freeze out here' don't you understand?">the Poochyena growled weakly, panting from exertion<"We ... were only trying to help ... .">

The Sneasel was surprised to say the least when Nami hugged him but didn't do anything one way or the other; he was still weak and that wouldn't change ... . What Nami said next surprised him even more ... how could it possibly be all right when he had scared the Poochyena twins ... could have hurt them even! Why was this human feeling sorry for him when he was the one at fault. The Sneasel sighed, <"I was weak ... ,">he muttered more to himself than anyone else. How could he possibly forgive himself after all that he had done?

Nicki almost dropped the lump she was carrying, dragging through the snow back to the PokeCenter. She growled fiercely, glaring at the slow creature. It barked at her, snarls threaded within the rude comments she almost wished she could decipher. Instead, she braced herself for a posssible attack from the Absol. She wasn't going to deal with it now, she had to get the moron she was carrying back to the building, into warmth. "Piss off, you miserable mutt," she spat, narrowing her sharp eyes. She looked over at the Poochyena, maybe four or five feet ahead of her, and pulled harder. dragging her and the body she tugged on a few feet forward. "Come on, Pup. Up and at 'em." She needed to get over to the fallen canine and make sure it was okay. Hopefully, the white hound wouldn't interfere. [/scrolly]

Slowly allowing herself to smile again, she shook her head slowly. "We all have our moments, here and there," she answered back reassuringly. "You wouldn't believe what I've done..." stopping a moment, Nami blushed realizing what she had said. Falling silent a moment, she slowly rubbed the back of her head. "I... ran away from home and then ran away from another home," she admitted quietly. "And... I know it's not the same, but we both make -- we all make mistakes," she said slowly smiling. [/scrolly]

Hoping she would drop his trainer. Hope was out cold though his hand twitched a good sign no doubt. Though the boy had forgotten he hadn't anything to drink in four days from the journey here. so he was just dehydrated, but far be it from anyone to know this even absol. [/scrolly]

[Maid Melody]

The Poochyena had managed to gather her strength and stood up ... she had to help Nicki ... if nothing else. Going over to the girl, the Poochyena once again began to help drag Hope back to the pokecenter, albeit slowly, when she saw the Absol try to use Psychic again. Growling at the idiotic Absol, the Poochyena dropped Hope and managed to form a Protect around Nicki and herself. Yes she was feeling rather weak by now ... but the boy needed warmth ... and who knows what else was wrong with him by the way he was acting right now. <"Stupid mutt ... we're trying to HELP so instead of wasting your breath on those -magic acts- of yours, why don't you help us save your trainer,">the Poochyena growled at the Absol, breathing rather heavily from exhaustion before once again helping to drag Hope.

The Sneasel blinked when Nami actually told him that it was all right that he had made a mistake ... he ... had never met anyone like her. He didn't know why she was telling him this but ... she certainly seemed nice and ... when Nami told him about some of her mistakes, the Sneasel studied her for a moment before putting a gentle, reassuring hand/claw on her own hand. He may not be able to convey what he wanted to with words but perhaps Nami would understand that he understood what she was trying to tell him and ... he really appreciated it.

The mutt growled at her, eyes strangely lit. She could easily see she'd done nothing but anger the creature more. She had yet to care. She'd take the attack. But when her pup ran up and formed a Protect around her, using it's own energy, when it was already drained, she knew this had to stop. She stopped and took the deepest breath she could manage, icy winds stabbing her lungs as they filled with frost. She didn't even think she could do this, but Nicodemus was determined to try. She bent, grabbing Hope's arms from behind her, and hoisted him up onto her back, as if she were about to give a ten-year-old a piggy back ride. This was one heavy ten year old. But she still had the Absol to worry about. She growled, frustration boiling in her blood, her skin growing warm. "Pup, get over here," she growled, rushed and in a hurry, the weight a great burden on her back, making her strain to stand. What did this guy eat? She released one of his hands and bit into the sleeve of his arm before it could slip off her back and bring them both tumbling down. She grabbed a PokeBall off her belt, tapped it twice, and threw it, the orb falling dead to the ground. It should keep the Absol at least halfway distracted so she could get the Poochyena out of there. Then she haul ass back to the PokeCenter. Even the pup needed rest now. [/scrolly]
