Carl watched his Pokemon finish eating and, once they were all satisfied, cleaned up the dinner mess they had made. Carl reclined back against his backpack and stared up at the stars. Stacy was shuffling things about, getting ready for bed before finally saying goodnight. "Night Stacy!" Carl replied. He stayed gazing at the twinkling stars for a while, enjoying the warmth of the fire. His Pokemon had all curled up together on a sleeping mat he had pulled out for them.
Finally feeling sleep tug at his eyelids, Carl got up and put a few of the larger logs on the embers of the dying fire. "That should last though the night." He whispered to himself. Feeling the call of nature, Carl walked off though the grass to a nearby stand of trees. As he approached, Carl thought he heard something shuffling in the bushes. Flashing his light over to investigate, Carl peered into the darkness but could see nothing. Shrugging, Carl went about his business before returning to camp. Pulling off his shoes, he dumped them in a pile next to his bag before slinking down under the covers. Before he drifted off to sleep, Carl could have sworn he heard a shuffling sound again, but before he could fully register it, he drifted off to sleep.
