He'd been out with Nami when they got the news of the bombings, and she'd insisted they come here. Without question, Ty called out Angel, and they flew to the area as quick as possible. He knew this was her home, so naturally she'd want to check it out.
As he walked, keeping as close to his best human friend as possible, an Arcanine walked in front of them. Blazer, Ty's first Pokemon and closest companion. Above them flew an Albino Charizard; Angel. The two of them were making sure no harm would come to either human.
Ty held back a shudder as he scanned the place. It just seemed so...surreal. It gave him such an eerie feeling; it wasn't long ago he'd been here, and it was so....different now. The former thief stayed quiet, not knowing what to say.

[atrb=style,background-image:url(http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv181/SojiRem/namiumekotable.png);][atrb=width, 497][atrb=height, 297][atrb=style,border:0 black none,b,Table][scrolly:h(230),w(235),sy,as(padding:4px 10px 0px;margin-top:42px;margin-left:233px;)]Nami had no words. For all that she had said previous to actually coming to the commercial district, she had lost them all upon actually seeing the damage in full view now. The first bits of information that had been expressed by the news was enough to set Nami on edge, and as it had continued to tell of the damage, Nami Umeko had quite literally gone into a panic, and almost instantly, she had dropped what she had been doing and demanded that she and Ty, her full time traveling buddy, head to the capital. She didn't know what she could do about the situation, but she had to go... She had to.... However, now... there was nothing... Seeing all that the district had been turned into was ....was........
Nami's eyes scanned over a blown out building that they were passing. No life. She looked away again only to find herself staring at more wreckage, damage, brokenness. Still no life. She breathed in, breathed out again. Someone had done this to her home. Though she had all but left her house in the residential district, though she had all but forsaken her actual life in the capital, it was still home, and to hear that it had been attacked, the city itself if not her direct house, was horrifying. Someone had attacked her home: the city she'd grown up in. She... was almost scared to see... if her house was alright. The TV information had said it was mostly the commercial district and the area around the Clock Tower that had taken damage. Therefore the residential district should have been fine.
"I....don't understand...how anyone could do this," was finally what escaped from Nami's mouth. The words themselves were hoarse as if she'd been shouting for a long time before then. "I don't....I....I......" She fell silent again and shook her head slowly before stepping closer to Ty. Slowly, her eyes dropped down to the ground right in front of her. "I... I hate people....." she slowly mumbled to herself. [/scrolly] |

"I don't either..." he said softly. He didn't say anything for a while; words just escaped him right now, so he pulled her closer.
"It just seems so...unreal..." he finally murmured. "It only makes me wonder..." The young man shuddered slightly, closing his eyes as the two Pokemon continued to watch for threats.
"I'm here for you," he whispered.

The second statement was enough to cause Nami to sigh and nod her head slowly. "It almost... feels fake somehow....but... it's not," she frowned shaking her head. The last statement that had directly followed her own words was enough to cause Nami to freeze. Looking sideways at her friend, she managed more than just a smile and ended up leaning her head on his shoulder. "I.......thanks, Ty," she briefly before growing somber again. "I... wonder if everyone's already been picked up... and evacuated or if...." she broke off as though a disbelief that anyone could still be in the rubble was crumbling into possibility. [/scrolly] |

"I hope so, Nami. But if there's anyone left here, Blazer and Angel will find them. And I'll help them to the best of my ability..."
Ty blinked, a thought coming to him. "Nami? I think I know what I want to do with my life, now that I'm not a thief..." He paused. "I want to help people through this, even if all I can do is fly them somewhere safe...."

There was only so much they could do there at that moment, and yet... Yet helping people... as a life occupation....A softer smile came to the brown haired woman's face before vanishing again as her eyes fell on the rubble and damage once more. "Yeah..." she sighed slowly standing upright again and looking a bit more determined than before. "I think.... I think we need to help Era stabilize... somehow... so... something like this won't happen again!" she snapped out the last part a bit too quickly and ended up falling silent and biting her lip slightly.

"We can help in any way we can; every little bit counts," he said softly. His hand rubbed her shoulder gently as they continued to walk, his eyes falling on the rubble.
He shook his head; it was still unbelievable that someone could do something like this. "We can do this. It's just us, but...maybe one day an entire relief group will form from our efforts. So that Era will be better prepared in the future..."

Blue eyes scanned the rubble area again, and the brown haired young woman sighed trying to keep herself strong still. "I... did the rebels do this or... the nobles or... someone else though?" Nami didn't expect an answer to the question and was already trying to think of ways to answer it herself. Both groups said they were fighting for something right, but ... whoever did this was clearly in the wrong. Nami remained lost in her thoughts up until the sound of siding caught the woman's ears. Turning her head, Nami looked around confused for a moment. Had I just... heard that or... she mentally questioned but had no real answer. However, right before she was about to drop the entire thought, she caught sight of something in the rubble.... was that... an arm? Nami's pupils shrank but her eyes grew, and for a good few seconds, she stood there completely stunned. Oh...oh God....

"That or some gang." He looked at her expression change suddenly. Then...he saw why. He wasn't paying attention to the surroundings at the moment, but...that was definitely an arm.
"Angel! Blazer! Move that rubble, there's someone under there," he barked, his voice shaking, but he was trying not to panic.
As the two large Pokemon dug through the wreckage of the building, Ty pulled Nami closer, hoping the person would be alright. They had to be...it'd be a number on him, sure, but....this was the last thing Nami needed to see. She was taking it much worse than him, and....well, Ty was the last person Ty was thinking about right now. This trapped person and Nami came first.

Blue eyes focused solely on the body that was under the ruble as more and more flesh and clothing were revealed. When all was pushed away, a green haired young man could be seen laying unconscious there on the ground. His eyes were shut, his face was splashed in his own blood, and upon first glance, he looked dead. It took everything in Nami not to scream right then and there. Instead, a command of sorts took hold of her, and she looked towards Ty. "We have to get him to a hospital," she stated as quickly and as flatly as she could: doing her best to drain the stress and strain that was threatening to overwhelm her at that particular moment. She had to be strong! She had to be-... Biting her lip, Nami began to walk over towards the body of the boy. They had to get him out of here and fast!

He was just a kid. Those icy blue eyes clenched shut tightly for a moment, gathering what strength he could. He had to be strong; he couldn't panic. Not now. He had to do this, for both of them. Or all three of them, rather.
He opened his eyes, breathing deeply. "Angel, pick him up," he said boldly, trying to hide the fear still in him as the Albino Charizard obeyed. "Let me on, and Fly us to the nearest hospital."
Then, he looked at Nami. "Nami, hop on Blazer. Blazer, you follow us." He pulled away from the grip he had Nami in, looking her in the eyes. "Everything's going to be fine. We got this." Then, he gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Let's ride." With that, he hopped on Angel, who was tenderly yet firmly holding the boy, much like a mother would her baby.

However, all things considered, it was better than he was unconscious for now. Nami found Ty had pulled away and looked sideways at him only to find a quick kiss on her lips. A smile followed but went rather quickly after that as she looked at the boy again. He couldn't have been more than ten... and...it.... Shaking her head, Nami forced some determination into her. Looking from Ty to Blazer, Nami nodded. "Right," she stated after a moment before walking over to the Arcanine and slowly climbing on. [/scrolly] |

"He is still breathing," she informed her trainer. "Barely. But he has a chance.
"That's good, at least," Ty replied.
Meanwhile, Blazer ran on, following the Charizard with Nami on his back. "Arrrrr...." <I hope the boy's okay....>
When they reached the hospital in the capital, Angel landed, and Ty took the boy into his arms. "Thanks, Angel."
"Anytime."
Then, Blazer caught up to them as Ty returned the Charizard. He just held the boy a moment, feeling his very faint breaths. He had to be alright...He had to. Even though Ty had never met this boy, his heart went out to the kid.
Slowly turning to the door, he made his way inside.

Following after Ty all but at his heels, the brown haired woman then walked ahead of him and pulled open the first door before stepping inside. As they came into the hospital, the cool air hit Nami causing her to fight the urge to fidget from the cold. Blue eyes watched as doctors, nurses, and various pokemon ran this way and that working in all directions, and neither of the spheres could decide what to focus on. She felt nervous almost afraid of the hospital. She had no idea of where to go, and the reception desk had all but been missed by her sights.

From the cold air to the scrambling to....blah. Glancing back to see if Nami was there, he made his way to the front desk. "We found this kid in the rubble. He's breathing, barely, but he needs help fast," Ty explained. Doctors and various Pokemon soon came out and took the boy on a stretcher as Ty was motioned to paperwork, which he filled out to the best of his ability.
Finishing, he looked back to Nami before walking over to her and taking her hand. "Everything's going to be fine," he murmured softly. Arceus, he hoped so...

As Ty did paperwork, Nami remained silent and simply stared at her knees. Her mind swarmed with thoughts, yet she was drowning in them and found each one more draining than the last. Upon finding a hand on her own, Nami blinked and looked upwards at Ty. Her face twitched, and for all her strength, she found herself crumbling. N-no! No weakness! she mentally hissed at herself, yet after that, she gave up and allowed those weak and helpless tears to fall again Setting her forehead on Ty's shoulder, Nami simply cried. Damn it. Damn it she wasn't supposed to do this!

He slid into the seat next to her, leaning his head against hers and--oh crap he was trembling.
His eyes clenched tight as he held onto her hand, his own tears flowing out of his eyes now.
"Are you the young man's parents? Or siblings? Or uhm...next of kin, that's it. Are you related to the boy you brought in?" A young, tired-looking nurse asked the two of them.
"Uhm...no," Ty answered, drying his tears. "We found him in a pile of rubble..." Ty's thumb stroked Nami's hand. Oh God....he'd...he was gone, wasn't he?

After a few seconds, she slowly forced herself to look up to see not one but two nurses there. A rather tired looking dark haired nurse standing next to the other elbowed the one before looking forwards. "Well... he's stable, at least... no major injuries though a number of minor ones... a broken rib is the worst of it all though," Miranda, the nurse whom had taken it upon herself to follow after to make sure that the news got out, stated.
Nami drew in a slow breath upon hearing that the child was at least alive. "I... I see." she mumbled sitting sideways and twisting around a lose strand of hair doing her best to distract herself. "I... that's... he'll be alright, right?" she asked looking up at the nurse who simply nodded. After a moment, Nami quite literally leaped up and clung to Miranda. "Oh thank God..." she all but sobbed feeling the rush of emotion over her. Though she didn't know the boy personally, Nami knew damn well she would have broken down anyways if he had died....

She was just going to get to that...
Ty meanwhile found Nami out of his grasp and clinging to the other nurse, but he was just glad that the kid was okay. Then...a thought came to him. "Hey, do you know who the kid is? Or how to contact his family?" These questions resulted in the man's mind being flooded with more thoughts. What if the boy's family had.....Oh God here we go again.

After a moment she shook her head a little. "Honestly the best we can do at this point, especially with the flood of people here, is wait until he wakes up and ask him who he is," she answered back sighing a little. "He had no identification on him, but then again, he is a child, so..." she broke off and shook her head. Nami, meanwhile, found all the blood draining from her face, and a sudden part of her wanted to rush back to the area they had found the boy and search more. He could have lost his family! Letting go of the nurse, Nami stepped back unsure of what to say and simply ended up looking at Ty again.
