Once Eleyna's Growlithe had ignited the fire, Steven brought himself down to sit as close to it as possible, and he held out his hands towards it to bask in its warmth. Tonight was going to feel like the longest night of their lives, considering how every moment was just nothing but one adventure after the next.<br/><br/>Steven couldn't pay any attention to anything else around him really. Guess his body has had enough and was longing for rest. So he tuned out whatever was going on around him for the most part and just stared blankly at the fire. However, Naomi's question on why everyone set off on this adventure in Yugen did catch his attention, and waited for Jake to finish before he said his answer.<br/><br/><span style="color: #006666"><b>"For two reasons really, to be stronger for myself and my Pokemon, and the thrills I have been missing out on."</b></span>he said with a somewhat melancholy tone as he looked over at his Pokemon, who were off doing their own mingling.<br/><br/>Speaking of which, Hitmontop and Pancham were off playing with everyone else's Pokemon in whatever manner they could. First they went over to Eleyna's Growlithe, and took turns to rub him in different places, especially the seemingly fluffier parts; scratch the underside of his neck, poke it in different places, etc. etc. When they were done, whether because they managed to piss him off or they got bored, they immediately went to Jake's Ivysaur to do the same thing. Hitmontop was particularly curious in wondering where razor leafs came from and had asked Ivysaur about it.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
