Snippet #1629836

Adinitium Ferry Dock

Dom settled himself on the floor of the ferry, leaning against the railing. The battle had taken a lot out of him mentally. As he looked forward, Leafy sidled up beside him and laid down leaning against him, obviously tired from the days events, "Chiiik..." She cooed before closing her eyes. Dom petted Leafy on the for a moment whispering, "You did great. Rest now, when we get across we'll visit the PokeCenter, you'll be just like a new Leafy," Dom say with a sad smile. That cowardly bastard did it all. They had to get stronger so that they could fight people like that. Dom glanced over at Jessica. Even stronger than her. "Zubat?" The form in his lap called weakly, "Even you. We'll get your right as rain too." Dom said.

With the darkness upon them, Dom felt nervous, yet because there were three others on the Ferry with him, Jessica, Bianca, and Raine, he wasn't petrified. He'd be able to make it to the PokeCenter. He'd make it rather quickly too.

"What happened here?" Raine had asked earlier.

Dom shrugged from where he sat, "A bastard dressed in all black tried to dissuade me from riding the ferry," Dom said the word dripping with venom. "Stupid me decided that I've already come too far and decided, 'Oh hey, he can't be that tough' " Dom said, "Wrong. Because of me, Ducklett is knocked out, Leafy got hurt, and this Zubat is injured as well... Damn it. Maybe I should have turned around," Dom said reflecting... No, no he wouldn't have. He'd push through just like he did. But that still didn't mean he wished it would have went better. Dom shook his head, "Too late now. I just have to get the PokeCenter and heal these kids," Dom said, smile creeping back, "Chik," Leafy peeped in agreement. She could do with some Leafy time in the PokeCenter. "Bat..." The Zubat whimpered, causing Dom to pet the creature trying to sooth it.

"Did you want to talk to me?" Jessica asked.

Dom looked up at the woman, "I just didn't want you to leave on the Ferry without me. I don't think I could have trekked through the route again with everyone hurt like this," Not to mention it was dark enough to curl Dom's skin. Though, he wouldn't let anyone know that... "Oh, and thanks for stepping in when you did. I don't think Leafy could have made it, even if she's a tough little cookie.." Dom said, playing with Leafy's leaf.
