The buildings of the Nexus took on a different look at night; though it was not like he had been here all that much before. In his mind, the main thing that stuck out was that somewhere around here was the entrance to the Hibernaculum, which would be surrounded by trainers in a few days' time...

The call was sounded and people responded. The Hearteater's head was the bounty, though as to what that would mean for this place, for the beasts that prowled the old world, Arthur had no clue. But he supposed at the moment that was not his main concern.

He needed to take back what was his, and so he prowled. He experimented.

Using the mist, he formed it as a thin rope to see if it would wrap over that hanging, broken pipe. If he really made sure not to look away, it stayed, and surprisingly, it could hold his weight when he hopped on it and folded his feet. Okay, useful information to know. He didn't think he could pull something off like Tarzan since he was only limited to sight, but it could be the difference between life or death in a pinch.

Hie was with him, nose twitching every so often, sniffing, alert, on guard. Suddenly, he growled and moved close to his trainer; the pup's eyes glued to the left.

What is it? Arthur wasn't even sure if he said it aloud or only moved his mouth. It was too quiet here, save for the brief howls of winds passing through concrete and broken glass.

And then he saw it: a floating figure, tiny, but familiar in shape. Painfully familiar; he wouldn't forget it any time soon.

He hadn't registered that there was someone else here.

The trainer opened one of his other Poke Balls to the next Fire type in his arsenal, letting out Vulpix, silent as her paws hit the floor, and then steeled his gaze.

❝Will-o-Wisp.❞

The Vulpix summoned balls of flame, immediately becoming a light source, before shooting it at what seemed to be the unsuspecting beast.

Tabula

Alicia, the person who Tabula had met at the party, was here too, and suddenly the night was but ablaze with the colour of orange. Flames of different types - a reckless blitz, a focused flamethrower - all struck the beast in different manners. And yet, despite its singed sides, it still remains standing.
It does not say anything. All it does is stare. Stare, stare, stare.

Heatstroke: ...Like a marionette on a string.
Half-Light: Again! Burn it! Use any sort of fire you got!

Tabula narrowed their eyes at the creature and grit their teeth at a slice that grazed their arm.

Constitution: [check success] Bear it...just bear it...

"Incinerate!"

A burst of flames emitted from the Fire-type's maw, firing right towards the beast. Hot enough to burn.

While the creature was nimbly moving across the air, angrily moving to slash against Tabula's shoulder - the crystalline person letting out a pained yelp as the attack landed...a simple origami warrior against a assault of fire attacks? It did not stand a chance.
The advice for the shrine was good though. Don't die needlessly.
"Yeah - got it..."

Encyclopedia: Wise advice - best stick to it.

The creature fell to the ground. With a smile, Tabula went to lob the Pokeball at Numa, to return him back to safety and continue on their way-
Only for the throw to miss and smack the origami creature in the face, sending it drawn into the Pokeball in a beam of red light.

Encyclopedia: Uh.
Half-Light: Uh?!
Tailwind: UH?!?!

For a second, Tabula would blink in surprise - before going to pick up the Pokeball. The UI popped up with a label for the strange creature that had been caught

Kartana - Drawn Blade Pokemon.
UB-Blade.
