The CERULEAN Team

The first one of the pokémons Ethana didn't know seemed to be bored with what she said because he yawned. Well, that was rude. "In any rate, you're stuck here now so make yourself at home. It isn't much but it's all I have. The name's Orin by the way." She gave a light smile, not really sure how he could even call it his home. But at least she knew his name now. She looked over at the other pokémon witch she still didn't know the name of. It hadn't said a word yet, witch she thought was strange. But she guessed it was just shy. she then looked back when something was thrown on the ground.

"I've saved these for a long time. They might be stale but they have Oran berries in them so they should recharge your energy." She looked as Orin took one of the bars himself. She didn't take one herself, even though she was getting hungry by now. She was looking at the little blue pokémon, who seemed to look deep in thoughts. She was looking out of the window. She slowly wondered to herself partly why it hadn't answered, and what it was thinking about.

Well, Miyu was certainly surprised. She had been expecting a 'get out before I ring the zombie dinner-bell' from the Zorua. "In any rate, you're stuck here now so make yourself at home. It isn't much but it's all I have. The name's Orin by the way.", he said before hopping from a table to a cabinet and turning into a human. He grabbed a box and came back down in his normal form, offering the ripped open box of granola to the trio.
"I've saved these for a long time. They might be stale but they have Oran berries in them so they should recharge your energy."
The Normal-Type was actually impressed and a little envious, "That was a pretty snazzy trick there, Orin.", Miyu said as she curled up in a box of soft bedsheets. Since none of them seemed to be a threat, Miyu figured she might as well sleep while she could, hopefully they would save a granola bar for her.. Oh, she forgot to introduce herself, socially awkward again. "I'm Miyu..." she said as her eyes slid shut and she dozed off.

"That was a pretty snazzy trick there, Orin." The Eevee said, impressed with Orin's ability. Shinx snapped out of her thoughts, staring anxiously at the group. The Evolution Pokemon hopped into a box of cozy-looking bedsheets. She curled up, as if ready to go to sleep, "I'm Miyu..." The brown fox said rather dazily, her eyes slid shut in as little as a second. She wasn't going to eat? The Flash Pokemon felt her worried expression come on, glancing slowly from the Eevee to the box of silver bars. She'll save one for the Eevee. If Orin can eat it, then it's safe to eat. Shinx grabbed a silver bar between her teeth, stuffing it in her thick violet scarf. It stayed perfectly still in that position. She even shook it a bit to make sure it won't fall out. If Miyu wasn't hungry first thing in the morning, and on the go, this would be much more helpful. The young Pokemon felt proud of herself today, a good deed done before it was time to retire. There were still a couple more of those silver bars, she gave that same worried glance over to the Ethana. Was she going to eat? Then again, she couldn't tell whether the Charizard was going to head off to bed just yet. Shinx would feel guilty if she took food before a Pokemon that could have been possibly starving for days!

She willingly nudged a bar towards the Fire/Flying duel-type, her golden eyes narrowing off to the side in embarrassment. Would the Charizard accept or decline? Thankful or laugh it off? Those were the things that always made Shinx anxious around company. As she moved her gaze, she unwillingly kept it steady around the silver bars. She was hungry, but even if she did want one, it would be hard for her to open it. Though she could simply just tear it out with her teeth, she wasn't really a strong Pokemon to begin with... And if she were to stuff it in her scarf, she would look like a very gluttonous Pokemon. Despite the fact that the other silver bar was for Miyu. Shinx was honestly never the type to care about the opinions of others, but sometimes impressions are important in the apocalypse, especially when you're the weakest one in the whole group. The Flash Pokemon's chest tightened at the thought; the weakest. That means everyone is in charge of protecting her, and she can't do anything to protect herself or the others. How useless...

It was around these times she wish she could give signs to everyone that she was mute. Maybe they could help her figure out a way to overcome that challenge... That life-long challenge... But they would abandon her wouldn't they? No weaklings in this world. It's a dog-eat-dog, the strongest and the fittest are to survive. What has this world come to? It killed her family, it drove her trainer out of his home. She's glad that the Epidemic hit back when she was forced to train at the circus. But if the Epidemic didn't happen, what would life be like?... Dwelling in the past isn't her thing, she shouldn't think about such paths. Things happened, whether it be fate or just sheer bad luck. They happened. For a reason. She may not know that reason, but maybe it's good, and maybe it's bad. Nonetheless, she met a tightly knitted group of Pokemon. They could be friends or enemies. But Shinx hopes they will be good friends, she shouldn't doubt them too much.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden howl in the distance. Shinx flinched her eyes widened as she stared right back at the boarded up windows. The howl was from an obvious dog Pokemon, it was oddly distorted at some pitches; an Undead. Why howling? Was it calling out to the other Undead? The howl slowly faded to silence, the Flash Pokemon still held her gaze at the boarded up windows. Even moments after the howling ended. There was a possibility it's calling out to other Undead that the living group is taking shelter in the Pokecenter, but that chance was slim. She gulped down her anxiety, Shinx was tired, she wanted rest, but the thought of Undead creeping up to them while their eyes were slid shut and off to dreamland... She shuddered. It was best to be silent. Even though her mouth has been sewn shut for all of her life.

[ooc: Please skip. I don't have the time and will just jump in next cycele.]

Ethana looked as Miyu curled up on some blankets, told her name to the others, and then fell asleep. She smiled a bit at that. She guessed on she was tired after everything there had happened. She then looked over at the blue pokémon, who had put one of the bars in her scarf. Guess she was saving it for later. The blue pokémon then send a worried look at Ethana, before pushing one of the silver bars her way.

She looked at it for some seconds before realising what it meant by it. Of cause. The blue pokémon must be caring about whether or not she got something to eat. She carefully too it and opened the end with one of her claws. "Thanks, that's kind of you" she said to it, giving it a smile. Then she got the bar out of the silver paper and ate it. It wasn't much, but at least she wouldn't drop dead because she didn't eat anything. Ethana then looked out to see whether or not the undead where trying to get in. It seemed they had found something, because they where fighting over something. She wondered what it was while she starred at them.

The Evolution Pokémon tossed and whined in her sleep, nightmares replaying themselves over;
Miyu was left to wander alone in the streets as growls and footsteps echoed hallowly. As the sounds drew in closer and the light began to fade, the Eevee padded down the road as quickly as her legs would allow. A familiar figure began to come into sight, stopping her dead in her tracks. In front of the terrified fox stood the companion she had known for as long as she could remember. His lightning yellow fur and flesh fell out in rotten chucks, his ribs exposed and what remained of his internal organs were left bare for any and all to see. His illegible voice little more than gurgles and screeches.

It was her fault he died. He took care of her and made sure she was safe, he never did anything to deserve the death he suffered. She could've saved him. Why didn't she? Why? That thought haunted her in each waking moment, she was a coward. She didn't ever deserve to have anyone else care for her.

A grin twisted its way onto the Jolteon's face as he leapt for little Miyu, blood clouding her vision as she suffered the same death he did.

Everything went black, she ran through darkness as the dream repeated itself once again.

It was her fault he died.


(OoC - I didn't wanna skip, so have a nightmare. lol While writing this, I had to put up with my friend meditating, waving her hands in front of my face, taking pictures and yelling. It. Was. Horrific. I slapped her. ¬¬ So if this post sucks, blame her. Blame her, I say! lol)

Nonchalantly, the illusionist fox stretched as he watched each of the other Pokemon. The Shinx in particular intrigued him. Tilting his head to the side, Orin carefully watched her gliding movements as she grabbed a bar of food and slid it into her scarf. This made him curious and he noted quickly that she was probably saving it for herself. Scoffing, Orin shook his head thinking that everyone was the same these days. They were either taking care of themselves or no one at all. In disbelief he registered the kind look to the Eevee in her eyes and silently chastised himself for thinking the Shinx to have a bad heart. That led to another question in Orin's mind though. She wanted to take care of the others but she hadn't been taking care of herself. Was she hungry? Noting the sad look on her expression made Orin casually pad over to her and unwrap one of the bars from the shiny silver casing. With a kind smile, he pushed it towards her and sat down, eager to see her accept the food. Slowly, on the inside of his heart, a knot was beginning to loosen as he tried to help the small female.

Ears pricking, Orin winced inwardly as the howl shook through his thoughts and momentarily stole his attention from the female. Narrowing his eyes to slits, the dark canine stood up and began checking the building to make sure it was safe from the outside. Barricades from earlier days of him living there held up nicely and he nodded in quiet remembrance of the boarded up hole in the wall by the entrance. He remembered the day quite well and soon the flashback cascaded into his mind like water trickling from a quiet stream and into a dazzling, roaring, waterfall of emotions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The air was thick as the small fox raced through the dead and silent streets of Cerulean City. A dark shadow loomed precariously behind him and cast itself over the dilapidated buildings like the coming of an ominous storm. Orin's heart pounded fast in his chest and he tasted blood in his mouth from where he had bit down on his tongue. However the thick taste of the crimson substance began to calm his nerves before they froze once again. In front of the small male, about four feet ahead, was a wall twenty feet into the air. His blood began to feel like ice coursing through his veins and the fear he felt was so thick he began to become dizzy. Stupid! Why had he, out of all days, picked this one to leave the sanctity of the Pokemon Center to venture outside and find supplies? If he hadn't he wouldn't be in this mess but now he had no choice but to face the creature head on. Taking a breath, Orin leaped against the wall, turning himself around in a graceful spin, to extend his claws towards his airborne enemy.

Shock froze him and he fell to the ground in a crumple of bones crunching against the pavement. The grotesque bird that had been chasing him was suddenly gone and he hadn't even notice. A shiver of relief passed through him but turned to dread as a chill tingled across his spine to make the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. A shrill cry sounded from behind him and he silently prayed his thoughts were wrong as he turned to face the wall, limping a bit on his left leg. There atop the rocks was the most terrifying creature he had ever seen.

Its body, too long gone to be recognizable, was framed in bone and skin that flaked and peeled off like sand eroding on a beach. Held by its crimson gaze, Orin almost died right then from sheer fright. The bird opened its mouth at that moment and Orin stifled a cry of terror as its broken and bleeding tongue added a wet sound to the loud shriek given off by the creature. Not knowing what else to do, Orin backed up a few steps and the bird lunged. Its claws tried in vain to tear at his skin but pure adrenaline coursed through him now and he was fast despite his fear. Kicked into gear like an old engine, Orin lunged at the creature, successfully planting his claws into the bones on its back as it flew skyward. Looking down he could have sworn he was still on the ground but then it hit him and he held on tight while the raptor like bird bucked beneath him, refusing to be ridden but out of the chaos of it all came the vision below him of the Pokemon Center and he began to claw at the bird in an attempt to make it descend and that was exactly what it did although not how he had planned it.

Soon, the two were hovering over the Pokemon Center doors, a sick feeling of vertigo sweeping through him as he avoided claws and teeth. Shaking his head, Orin was momentarily free of the demon but quickly latched back into its decaying body in one last attempt at not falling to his death although he wasn't very successful. He soon found himself falling but a sharp pain tugged at his left side and he was hurtled into the Pokemon Center leaving a small, Orin-sized hole, in his wake. Shaking himself of the dirt and debris, the fox stood and looked right into the eyes of the predator. Cawing loudly, the bird tackled him and held him to the ground, preferring to play more with its food before finally devouring it. Orin's eyes narrowed and it was then that he decided that he was going to live. Firing up a powerful Dark Pulse attack, Orin closed his eyes before releasing the most powerful attack in his arsenal...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eyes opening, Orin blinked back into the present and smiled darkly to the hold in front of him. Turning to go to the back of the Center, he Felt something wrong and turned to stare out the dull window behind him. Chills ran up and down his spine and the feeling of being watched intensified as he strode towards the window, curious as to what he would see.

(OOC: LOOONG post lolol anyway, Qwrk you can be the demon in the window if you want or I can. Thought this team needed some action.)

Shinx glanced over at the Charizard, who stared curiously at the silver bar. Did she not want it? The Electric-type felt flustered, of course, she didn't know what went through other Pokemon's minds, why did she bother? Now she would be seen as weird, or maybe even a bit too overcaring- "Thanks, that's kind of you" The Flying/Fire Dual-type said. Shinx blinked, staring up at the fire lizard in surprise as she watched Ethana carefully open the end of the silver wrapper, taking a chunk of the bar and gulping it down. She gave a small smile, nodding and thanking Ethana for the appreciation. At least now she wasn't considered weird or anything! Then again, she said nothing as she stuck with the group, not like she had the choice to speak... Harlequin. She disliked that name, glad that she got rid of it. Or rather glad her being mute prevented her from rolling that name across her tongue.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the loud crackling sound of a silver wrapping being ripped open. Shinx perked up only to see Orin unwrapping it. With a kind smile, he nudged it towards the Electric-type. The Flash Pokemon blinked, staring at the food. She then, moved her honey-like eyes from the food to the Zorua, who looked eager for acceptance. Shinx didn't know what to say. Or rather, when she came to her senses, the young cub realized that this was the first time someone would offered her something! Her face flushed into a crimson red, she bowed her thanks at Orin as she ate the bar. Though it didn't seem much, Shinx loved it. It was her first ever gift. Despite it being shared food, no one usually offered her anything! It didn't strike her that her face was still cherry red. Though she did feel her face grow hot, she didn't hide it behind her scarf like she would always do. For the first time, she felt like she wanted to show her face much more often.

Treating the food like a delicacy, Shinx carefully grabbed up the bar between her teeth, the shell softly giving way as she chewed. Her heart thumped against her chest in anxiety, taking in the flavors and texture. It was sweet, weren't silver bars made to have nutrients and no flavor? Then again, this could be because this was a gift that the flavor seemed so sweet. She savored the taste -- even when she gulped it down -- she savored the after-taste too. If she had a voice, she would have thanked Orin from the bottom of her heart, maybe shed a tear. Why aren't tears of happiness coming out? Maybe she's just too happy and hungry that she doesn't need to show her appreciation? She should repay Orin someday! Hopefully soon so she won't forget!

She finished as soon as Orin got up, curious, Shinx followed him, unsure what's the Illusion Pokemon up to. Though she thought she was a bother to him, he seemed deep in thought as he inspected the building. He must be checking to see if it was safe. Shinx found that admirable of him to be checking it up! Of course, he wouldn't want to sleep somewhere with the many possibilities of an Undead breaking in! She continued to follow him, like a lost soul seeking help, or rather, a curious soul attempting to 'nose' on other's businesses. The Zorua suddenly turned to the back of the Pokecenter, Shinx flinched for a brief second, but followed him. He padded over to a dull window, curious if anything was out there. She had to admit, looking at that window gave her the chills. Even the ends of her hair stood up!

The Electric-type paused, eyes widening as she spotted a pair of crimson-red eyes staring right back at her. Immediately she stumbled back in surprise, only to bump into a pile of boxes that caused a loud CRASH! Shinx jumped, oh no! It's her fault! The crash could have possibly attracted Undead to come over and try to break in! Her eyes turned from the pile of boxes back over to the window, the crimson-red eyes now gone from view... Was that her imagination? Or did it went to go grab some friends? Her heart that was happy for a present was now horrorfied and frightened. It thumped against her chest in anxiety as she immediately rushed to the boarded up doors, peering through the holes to check for any signs of Undead.

Strangely enough, none came out at the sound of crashing boxes. Shinx blinked in surprise, but continued to peer through, sniffing the air even. It's as if Undead left the city, it was a complete ghost town. The scent of death and decay somewhat disappeared, why is that? Though she would have been glad, the thought of Undead magically disappearing was foreboding. She knew some of them could be smart enough to ambush, possibly planning on trapping them in the Pokecenter... Taking in a sharp breath, she looked over her shoulder and at Miyu and Ethana. The Eevee was struggling in her sleep, whereas the Flash Pokemon was unable to see the Charizard's reaction. She then shifted her gaze from them to Orin, unsure if he would yell or scold Shinx for crashing into the boxes.

Ethana didn't really see what happened until she heard a loud CRASH! She looked away from the window and at what was happening. The blue pokémon was looking around, clearly had been the one responsible for the loud sound.

She tilted her head a bit in confusion, still looking at the blue pokémon.. "What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost-type.." She slowly stood up and moved so she could look out of the window. There was... Nothing. No undead, no ghost-types. Nothing. How strange. Not even the smell of the damn infected hang in the air. "Uh, anyone know where the infected have gone?" she then looked at the others.

Crash! The Evolution Pokémon snapped awake and staggered to the floor in a half-awake daze with a pounding heart. Something about Ghost-Types drifted through her mind, confusing her as to what exactly was going on. "Uh, anyone know where the infected have gone?"
Miyu followed in suit as everyone else, taking a curious peek out the window. She saw... nothing! No Undead creeping about, was that a good sign...? Or a bad one?

"The world suddenly stopped ending while I was asleep?", Miyu asked as she hopped down and scratched her ear, "Someone should've woke me for that. What's going on?"
Now she was really confused, even the scent of rotting flesh had disappeared. The silence was unnerving, it was like something was watching...

Immediately Orin tensed at the sound of crashing boxes and his body began to glow a dark purple, giving off an eerie iridescence around the room. Rather than scolding the small Pokemon, he sprang to her side to make sure she was alright. Sadness glittering in his eyes, Orin conveyed through silence that he knew what it was on the outside and that it could and would seemingly stalk the group. An icy fear pierced through him and he turned sharply when the others began to speak. "From now on we must be silent or else it will find us." His voice was no more than a feeble whisper but all of the fear was clearly imminent and it sliced through his words like the breaking of an icicle.

"The world suddenly stopped ending while I was asleep? Someone should've woke me for that. What's going on?" She looked at Miyu. Ethana was about to answer her, when Orin cut through before she got the time. "From now on we must be silent or else it will find us." She looked at the small grey fox confused, but the way he had whispered and the way he looked scared, she thought it would be best to just keep quiet. And because she remembered it, she lowered her tail so the flame wasn't as visible.

((OoC; Sorry for late respond. Haven't really had the time to get on my computer >.< ))

"From now on we must be silent or else it will find us."

Those words shot chills down the Evolution Pokémon's spine. What... What would find them? The fear in Orin's voice was enough to send Miyu into a panic, and she didn't get the impression this was any old Marill zombie.

Something glinted on the floor, it must've fell out of the boxes earlier. Miyu quietly sprinted by, grabbing the object and sliding behind a box. The brown and cream colored fox relaxed for just a moment, it was such a pretty bracelet. It had three gold loops and a silver star hanging from it. Hopefully Orin wouldn't mind, but Miyu was keeping it. She slid it onto her paw and smiled to the scarfed Pokémon, once again pretending she wasn't terrified.

((OoC - Sorry for short post, waiting for Blitz to decide what happens next lol.))

(( OoC; Skip please, not much to do until Bliz has decided what to happen next '-' ))

The streetlight a few feet from the Pokémon Center flickered on, casting a tall shadow into one of the windows. "What was that...?", Miyu whispered, freaked out by the menacing shape. Before she could finish her sentence, a scratching sound slowly ran up and down the walls. The Evolution Pokémon began to shake slightly as she pushed herself as tightly in the corner as she could.
Fog wafted through the area, it became harder to see. At least the light couldn't cause any more alarm... Whatever making the scratching must've grown bored after a few minutes, the sound slowly fading away.

Wood cracked, and footsteps rattled within the Center. "It must be another survivor.", the Normal-Type smiled lightly as she padded towards the sound, "Hello? We're Living too."
Two red eyes appeared in the darkness Miyu was facing. She knew instantly by the stench that finally rolled in, this was no survivor. She stumbled backwards and shot an Ice-Type Hidden Power towards the floor, but whatever she was attacking cracked free from the ice effortlessly, and reached out a bloody, clawed hand after her.
It whisked her up to its face, no longer hidden from in the shadows. It was covered in blood and rotten flesh exposed the bone in several spots. The claws were red and overgrown, tightly grasping Miyu as she struggled to breathe. A cry escaped her lungs, pleading for someone to help her.

The giant monster took a glance towards the fox in its hands, its lips pulled into a tight snarl, but swiftly tossed her aside. She crashed through a glass window and landed on the hard ground outside. Miyu scanned around, still no signs of normal zombies roaming. That was definitely a good thing now, taking down this Zoroark was going to be challenging enough on its own, especially for Miyu who was now injured.


((OoC - Hope this is okay! ^^; I just love making bad things happen to Miyu lol. We can run or fight. Or even fly if Shadow wants. But if we fight, can we delay killing it for a few posts? Give us a good fight lol.))

Ethana didn't really know what to do with herself, and even less when a chain of things started to happen. First of all one of the lights on the street seemed to work for some seconds, getting a dark figure to show. "What was that...?" If there had been the smallest sound she would properly not have heard the small fox's question. Ethana would have answered if it wasn't for a scratching sound at the walls of the center. She almost forgot to breath as she listened to it, even though it didn't last long. And if that wasn't enough, a fog was rolling over the city. Just great.

Then there was footsteps from something heavy. "It must be another survivor." she head Miyu say as it sounded like she walked closer to it. "Hello? We're Living too." Ethana had really hoped it was another living. But the appearance of two red-glowing eyes told her different.

She didn't reach to react before Miyu had been tossed through a nearby window. This made Ethana see her chance of getting a fight on, because this was not a time to run. She had a feeling this thing would just hunt them down once more. She slightly growled at it, before throwing a flamethrower directly at it's face. But it was fast and got out of the way, getting her to set fire to some boxes instead. This made her angry. Instead, she launched at it, her claws glowing as she tried to hit it with Dragon Claw. One of them hit, but it parried the other one as it somehow send her crashing through a wall. She slowly got up again. Damn, that HURT.

She send a flamethrower at the hole she had made, hoping it would at least slow it down a bit.

(( OoC; It's fine with me. At least it will give us something to do! ^^ ))

Crimson flowed from each cut left by the glass as the small fox scrambled around the broken building. Through the thick fog, finally she found an opening big enough she could fit through. Inside, Miyu dashed around flaming boxes until she finally made her way up a few feet behind the Dark-Type. While the hideous zombie was busy fighting Ethana, the fox leapt into the Zoroark's head and held on as it tried to fling her off. She bit down on its ear, causing it to flail harder, loosening her grip and leaving holding on by only her teeth. The piercing sound of ripping flesh accompanied Miyu falling with the detached ear. She stumbled back, somewhat proud of her accomplishment. Though, the Illusion Fox only looked more angry and bloothirsty than before.

It fixed it's gaze on Miyu, no longer seeing her as a nuisance, rather something that needed to be exterminated. A yelp escaped the Eevee as flames burst through the Ethana-sized hole, giving the Normal-Type a chance to escape outside and to a tiny bit safer position. Miyu glanced at the fresh blood dripping from her, those gashes were really hurting about now...


((OoC - Arceus, sorry, I suck at making decent sized posts. Feel free to kill the Zoroark whenever you want, 'cuz Miyu isn't gonna be able to. lol :3))

Ethana snarled at the big ugly infected. it had attacked Miyu once more, and now she was pissed. She charged at it, using her wings to get even more speed. The infected didn't reach to react before it was slamed agains a pile of burning boxes. I cried out when it caught a burn.

She smiled satificed at it. It growled, seeming very mad. As it launched at her, she got under it's attack, stapping it with her Dragon Claw. It roared out in pain. She just made it even more mad. She quickly got away from it, barely avoiding one of it's attack. She then tried to attack it with Dragon claw again. It barely suceeded, but she was forced to bite down in it's arm to avoid it's attack. She growled deeply, as she hoped Miyu was all right.

(( OoC; That's fine, but i'm going to let it live untill next post. and yes, her biting it is bad. Really bad. ))

Oh crap.

The ally and the foe were locked in combat while the Eevee could only watch. The struggle was getting too close, Miyu had to help... But what could she do... The Hidden Power couldn't freeze it. But maybe if she got a liiiittle closer....
She darted between the bigger Pokémon's feet, finally getting close enough to the distracted Zoroark. She tried again to freeze the Infected in place, but it snapped away from the ice, earning a frustrated growl from the fox. Upon Ethana latching her teeth into its arm, it was Miyu's cue to attack. A blast of icy white light erupted from the snarling Normal-Type, slowly encasing the Zoroark in a frozen coffin while being careful not to hit Ethana.

It was working! Yes! The Evolution Pokémon's heart lifted at the sight of the ice holding firm.

Miyu was too weak to freeze it completely though, as her attack grew weaker, eventually leaving her unable to continue. "Kill it before it breaks free!", she said between hoarse breaths. Her cuts were widening, the blood poured out quicker. The pain didn't phase her anymore though, it was worth freezing the zombie jackass in place.

But with the Center having a gaping hole in it, their only choice could be to leave. And Undead swarm to the scent of fresh blood...

Ethana had been so consentrated on the infected that she hadn't seen Miyu had sneaked under them and had now frozen it in place. She couldn't help but smile at that. "Kill it before it breaks free!" She didn't have to say that twice.

As she moved her head, she took a big chunk of it's arm with, making it cry out in surprice. This cave Ethana the time she needed to quickly bite down on it's neck, slowly crushing it as it's blood was flowing quickly out of the wounds.

When it finally stopped moving, and she was sure she had compleatly crushed it's neck, she let it go. It dropped down, looking like a doll, as the last bit of air in it's chest left it. She let out a sigh of relief. But then she looked out of the hole she had left a bit ago. It seemed that the smell of blood had gotten to the other infected, and they where headed this way.

She looked down at Miyu. She was in a bad condition. She proberly wouldn't have the strength to run away from those things. Ethana looked at the infected when she spoke to Miyu. "I don't know about you, but I don't wana stay here any longer. Should we get the hell away from here?" She then lowered herself down with her wing out so that Miyu could climp up, hoping the small fox would do so before the infected reached them.

((OoC - Skip. Nothing for me to do lol. Permission to write Miyu agreeing and hopping on Ethana's back is fine by me.))

[Ooc: I apologize -- as I rarely skip -- but writer's block, and still trying to catch up on things ^^;]

Ethana smiled lightly as she saw Miyu slowly clmp up her wing as she used a small flamethrower to keep the infected at bay. When Miyu had climped up, she was about to set off when she realised something.

Where was the blue one?

She looked arround for it, making sure she keept the undead at bay, trying to find it. She would NOT leave another survivor behind.

((OoC; Short post is short and crappy >.< ))

The Undead's screeching grew louder as they approached, but they were quickly put in their place by the dual Type's Flamethrower. Miyu quietly wondered why they weren't leaving as she glanced around at the oncoming threat, until it finally dawned on her-- They were short one Pokémon! "Heeey-o!", the Normal-Type called out, "C'mon Scarf! Time isn't exactly on our side, here!"

Miyu smiled a little embarrassedly, did she really just call that Pokémon "Scarf"...? Oh well, a proper introduction would have to wait. The fox assisted in fighting the Undead, shooting more Hidden Powers towards the top of the center, freezing the smaller zombies' feet to the broken red roof. Miyu smirked, they just got owned!

(OoC - Sorry, this is short too. But there still isn't much for Miyu to do lol.)

Shinx had a black-out. She didn't know how or when, but it must have been somewhere around her bumping into the boxes did she suddenly disappear from the world for a brief second. Her consciousness has been awake for who-knows-how-long, but all she knows is that something's up. The loud sounds were bound to bring Undead. The Electric-type shook herself slightly, getting up as she glanced around. What the hell have they been doing? Already had the place been torn apart to the point Undead are already piling into the place, and of course, the Shinx is irritated to the extent she felt like killing something; possibly because no one bothered to pick her up or something to safety.

"Heeey-o!" Miyu's familiar voice called out; "C'mon Scarf! Time isn't exactly on our side, here!" ... What the fuck have they been doing? What the hell kind of nickname is that? Shinx refused to be called as such, but in a situation, she had to show response (But if they start referring her as such, she will just give them the silent treatment -- though they already receive it). Blinking the drowsiness out of her eyes, Shinx had to take action; she jumped up on the boxes with a quick scan around the area, avoiding the Undead's outstretched claws that begged for flesh.

Thank the heavens for those silver bars earlier, they made loud crackling sounds as she moved. Despite her not able to speak, perhaps they can find her existence on the top of the boxes with the sound of silver bars crunching against each other accompanying her.

[Ooc: If Shinx ever wants a name, she'll give out the message lol. For now, just no yo V_V]
