The wind picked up suddenly, blowing out any remaining light from the campfire, as something collided with Locke’s chest and sent him tumbling back to the cold, hard ground. He squeezed his eyes shut, wondering grimly if there would even be a body to find, and braced himself for the worst.

Instead, spindly, wire-like arms wrapped around him, and the bright purple face of a Drifloon buried into his midsection with fearful sobs. Locke hazarded a comforting hand on its head as his heart settled back into his chest. Despite the shock it had given him, it was obvious this little balloon wasn’t the same heart-pounding presence he’d felt before.

Maybe that was why Shi-Shi was still glaring at the darkness.

Without even pausing to gather their things, Locke tugged at the Absol’s scruff and bolted towards the road, before whatever terrifying beast the Drifloon had been running away from followed it. Their camping gear was left abandoned, but that was a problem for morning Locke.

And if the frightened ghost Pokémon was still clinging to them as they fled, well that could also be dealt with in the light of day.
