(Could I leave Braixen outside of the tent near the warm ashes, enouraged to spend a night under the open sky and stars while the others sleep? Especially if Shiva expresses worries and asks him to guard and attack any foes if they pose a threat? I haven't used him in a while, maybe he'd rejoice over a little free time [not beside Master, but protecting Master is more important than spending time with her?])

(Just to have less problems I leave Rose and Koa to Patrol together with Braixen. Together they perhaps capable to deal with any problem.)

Ok, so we got some patrollers. We have a campfire, I'm sure.
What kind of land will you set it up on? Baked mud from Ponyta, grassy hummocks, low ground or high ground?
Anything like that about the setup?
Ventus and Valder's survival skills suggest clearing a line-of-sight so it's clear of all Long Grass.

(Well, one of Windos's earlier posts suggested it had been set up on relatively dry ground, so I imagine it's likely on high(er) ground.)

(There was and is something about those grassy hummocks, indeed... They're suspicious.
Also, I'm not QUITE sure how helpful it really is, but how about a Lucky Chant from Braixen over the campsite? Casted at the point the last one of the group heads to bed, just like Master asked for.)

(Rose will keep a eye in the high grounds in the trees. Since she a monkey she can do that. I think Koa will go in the low grounds.)

The only disturbance overnight is a few Oddish and a singular Gloom leading them. The fire-types easily chase them off.
They leave funny footprints in the congealing mud of your campsite. In the morning, you can add them to the encounter list if you wish.
Day 34 dawns.
Encounters will roll out after I eat my dinner!
Weather report: Hazy. As you travel, you occasionally break through into sunny patches.

Your path takes you on a looong slog through the marshiest part of the swamp yet. Your clothes get drenched, your Ponyta are dispirited, and your Metagross keep sinking to the bottom of ponds and just walking until they get to the other side...with you along for the ride. In the haze, you struggle to stay near each other, relying on your fire types to be beacons.
Everyone has to take an encounter from this list. No training sessions or hunts during this slot.

Heart fight to get though the haze. After a lot of time Heart meet a Whiscash blocking the way! He decides to bring his tree Pokemon Viktor to clear the path. Heart look Shiva and asks. "Shiva, would you mind if I join with you in this battle?"

The next morning, Nahan's very, very withdrawn. When he wakes, he doesn't join everyone else for breakfast, opting to instead sit a ways away with Masq, Kirlia, the bees, Swiftfire, and Yule. The breakfast is simple, as usual, but it's better than nothing. Nathan sends the Combee off to gather some honey once again, double checks that Yule is comfortable with staying in his pokeball while in the swamp, attempts to comfort Swiftfire since this place is very much not her definition of fun...
Kirlia can't help but stick close to Nathan the entire time, casting worried and cautious looks in Ventus's direction to make sure he's not getting much closer...he hadn't thought telling Nathan why he was so reluctant to interact with Ventus would have had this drastic of an effect...but he was going to be there for him regardless. Even if he did loathe this swamp immensely right now...
How many nights has Nathan rested well since leaving Corsage? He hadn't been keeping count, but he was pretty sure he could count them on one hand...
Nathan keeps carefully pulling out and glancing at the crude effigy of Mutios. He mutters under his breath every so often..."Black Shade Protects...White Light Shines..."
When he gets a chance to, he's thinking he's going to attempt to make this clay symbol a little more solid so it's not quite as easily deformed. It's not something he would likely want to use, considering what it represents both on a spiritual level and for Nathan's personal experiences.
The Yin pokemon...it's the complete opposite of what Nathan would like to be feeling right now, but it's...strangely comforting, holding this symbol that happens to coincide with a lot of what he's been feeling and experiencing lately...
...and he really hopes that Mutios is extending her protection right about now...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Once again, Nathan's attempting to scout ahead on Swiftfire.
The going is rougher than before, though. The swamp gets more murky, the waters deeper, the grasses taller...Swiftfire is having a hard time finding her footing, and it's just one more distraction on the long list of things Nathan's been worrying about, the things he's been trying to shoulder by himself, regardless of whether he wants to...
Kirlia's not paying much attention to anything except Nathan and where Ventus is right now. This was really worrying him...he didn't think this was going to fix itself, but there wasn't much he could do except just be there for his friend...
Everything seems to be going fine for awhile, though.
...until Nathan, Kirlia, and Swiftfire practically walk into a Gulpin and a Swalot in the midst of their inattentiveness. Masq is overhead, acting as Nathan's eyes in the sky (and leaving a trail of sparkles as he flies), but his warning squawk comes just a tad too late for Nathan and his grounded pokemon...
