The screeching sound of the Zubat seemed to only effect him a little, maybe Gijinka had more sensitive hearing? Artemis's softness seemed to reassure him as well and he nodded when she told him to step back. He did, gripping onto a tree he watched his Guardian leap into action, his eyes sparkling at how cool and powerful she looked. Watching Gijinka battles on the television was way different than seeing it in person! Of course he suddenly saw the parts that must have been cut out of the battles that aired. Both gang leaders went down fast, but his heart broke a little watching the Houndour. She was crying in pain, it was kind of terrible. Maybe it was a bit cruel...still. This was the Gijinka way. His grandfather had told him when he was a younger that Gijinka had their own way of solving problems.<br/><br/>They might have looked like they were dying but they were tougher than Humans. Closing his eyes he nodded, trying to keep his composure. After all there would be more battles to come. If he faltered now then he wouldn't be much support to Artemis, and any other future guardians that joined him! Still what tore at him the most and what he had sort of noticed is how much the Nightfire's leader sacrificed herself so her allies could escape. Maybe she wasn't all that bad? It was obvious she cared about them, a heartless leader would have abandoned their allies and tried to save themselves. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Artemis, don't bother following after them. I don't think the Nightfire people will cause us any more trouble.</span>" he stated once the quaking stopped and the fog settled.  Following after them would be foolish and risky. No it was probably best to just head for the Inn and forget all of this happened. Thomas walked up to Artemis and gently pulled her into a soft and warm hug. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Good job for your first official battle. You were awesome!</span>" he praised giving her a smile. There was just the matter of the Poison Half-Pints to deal with.<br/><br/>Giving his Guardian a nod Thomas moved closer to the poison gang. Why was every situation tonight about money? Did they mistake him for one of the richer trainers? It was flattering but kind of frustrating. Knowing that Artemis would be by his side he gave Dendra a sort of sad look. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I hate to break it to you but I don't have the riches to repair your roads. What little I have left will probably go to supplies. I'm not going to sugar coat it actually. I'd gladly shower you all in dollars if I had it. I hope you're not too hurt though. I have some potions if you need one.</span>"  Thomas had to bend down a little but he stared into Dendra's eyes. They were pretty for a poison type. She didn't seem all that bad, kind of goofy but maybe that's how she was. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">I hope you all don't think we Trainers are loaded, most of the money we make goes to our supplies and Guardian's well fare. Still I'm sorry that we messed up your turf, and that we actually were trespassing ourselves. My Guardian and I just want to make it to the Inn in this forest and this was the quickest path on the map.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">" he stated to the Croagunk and her crew with respect in his words. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#d1d5d8"> Standing up he glanced around and then spotted the unconscious Houndour. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">What a rush, I've never been so terrified in my life. I've watched so many battles on the Inn's television at home, but experiencing it in person was unbelievable! You all were pretty cool actually, I'm not from this area of the region but do you fight with these Fire Gijinka often? It seems like you both have a history.</span>" he spoke kind of rambling, letting his heart kind of speak a little. It was good to be honest, maybe this gang would just let him go on his merry way. He didn't want Artemis fighting anymore tonight. Sure she had the upper advantage when it came to typing but he needed to let the battle sink in a little before seeing another. He placed his fingers against Kiara's neck and felt a faint pulse, then he felt her forehead. It was sweaty and hot, did she get poisoned too? They needed to get her to the Inn. Setting his bag down on the ground he unzipped it and began to search his medical pouch. Pulling out an Antidote he sprayed it upon the Houndour's skin like the directions on the bottle had stated. The potions and things created were all natural made from crushed berries and such so no odd chemicals would harm the Gijinka sprayed with them. After using the antidote Thomas shouldered his bag and carefully scooped the fire type into his arms, positioning her so her head rested against his chest. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#d1d5d8">Standing he turned to face Dendra, Artemis, and the others and smiled. Once they were done talking to the Poison Half Pints, he would continue his journey to the Inn.  As for the Houndour he wasn't sure, probably he'd just let her go after she was healed. Thomas couldn't help but feel like at least helping her was the right thing to do, no matter if it made his Guardian mad or not. </span>
