Of course, the rest of the game won't change due to what may be happening to Yuze. If a Pokémon is meant to spawn at an area, it will spawn, with no consideration for the fact that at this very moment, that's the last thing Yuze needs. Ironic, considering the reason why he had come to this abandoned building.

That's exactly what happens.

While he's in the middle of finding his bearings — in the middle of reaching logical conclusions about what just happened — there is a sound nearby. Rattling, something falling, as if knocked down by someone passing by in a rush. Someone or something. Very likely a Pokémon.

Crimson eyes fixate on his surroundings, searching. He has a Pokéball in hand. Where is it? What is it?

What is there to fear in a game? Everything, when you want your mind to exist in a virtual space. It doesn't even need to be the strange voice telling Yuze that; it's Vera's own thoughts.

So, what then?

Treat it like reality.

Take a breath, look around, step forward. It's fine. There's no death in UNOVR, there's Pokémon to protect himself with, plus... his steps are light, just off the ground, and he doesn't make a sound. Tense as Yuze may now feel, it's so very easy to also feel like he belongs right here — like this.

Even when another sound comes from the vicinity, this time it's calmly that he greets it.

The Pidove is small and frail, its HP quickly falling dangerously low at the mercy of Zmey's flames. Watching it, Yuze considers catching it at that moment, considering that the 10% threshold has been met, and yet...

And yet he doesn't stop Zmey from landing another blow.

Why?

Maybe it's a matter of increasing odds, maybe he thinks the Pidove will be more compliant when in his team if it's knocked out before capture, or maybe he just doesn't think of stopping the Cyndaquil. Whatever the case, what's done is done.
