The things that make us one

Caiden slowly entered the route. Glancing around occasionally. Kenji's head sticking out from his hood. He seemed a little figidty. Grasping his claws into Caiden's shoulder. Caiden didn't mind. He wanted to be a pokemon breeder, so he would have to get used to this kind of stuff. Kenji was still a bit reclusive.

"I don't really think we're gonna do battles. But I still have to train you incase we do battle. Wanna start now?" Caiden said to his pokemon. He always spoke to a pokemon as if it was a human. But without spoiling it, so it knew who was in charge.

~I guess~ Kenji moaned reluctant to get out of the comfortable hood. He nodded anyways, wanting to find out what this 'Caiden fellow' was planning on doing. Caiden merely took Kenji's pokeball off his belt and threw it.

"Go get it!" Caiden said encouragingly. Kenji merely looked at Caiden shocked. /FETCH/ the pokeball? The little growlithe ran after it anways, wanting to play.

((I have nothing to reply to, not really...))

Kenji sniffed around. Where was that ball? He was starting to get slightly aggrivated. He walked through the forest, stamping his feet as he went. FINALLY! He saw it but only to find it was at the top of a tree. What now? Kenji slammed himself into the tree a few times, merely trying to knock it down. It had barely moved. So what was an impatient little growlithe supposed to do? Complain.

~GET DOWN HERE YOU STUPID BALL!~ He shouted still slamming his small body into the tree. The ball moved slightly, fallling. Only to be caught in another branch. Kenji snarled angrily. Now pounding into the tree with all his might. ~I SAID...GET...DOWN!~ The ball didn't budge. It was caught inbetween a fork in the tree branch. Unmoving, taunting the poor little pokemon.

A Taillow froma a nearby tree watched in an amused fashion. <'Ello, friend.> It said, swooping down, flying near the Growlithe. <Need some help with your little ball there?> It asked, flying up and floating near the caught pokeball. It seemed to be a helpful pokemon.

[kitteh]

~No, I got it.~ Kenji said now swatting at the tree boredly. He knew it was hopeless. He wasn't yet strong enough to get it. He hated to admit it but maybe...he did need the Taillow's help. Kenji looked away as he mumbled ~Will you knock it down please?~ He then looked back at the Taillow. It had good intensions. Why not ask for help?

[<3 Janessa <3]

<With pleasure, friend, with pleasure.> The Taillow said, landing on the branch that the pokeball was stuck in. It walked over the the pokeball and pushed it off the branch with it's beak. It then flew down, and landed on the ground next to the Growlithe.

"Kenji!" Caiden called running over. He looked at the Taillow, quickly pulling out his pokedex. "That's interesting," He thought aloud as he thought of maybe capturing the pokemon. "Kenji, tackle!" Caiden said excitedly.

~Tackle my new friend? Are you mad?~ Kenji growled. He looked towards the Taillow. ~Ah, I get it. He wants to capture Taillow~ Kenji ran at the Taillow with his head down, ready to tackle.

[<3 Janessa <3]

Taillow was hit. It looked like its pride had been hurt. It ruffled its feathers and flew, then landed on Caiden's shoulder. <Now, what was that for?> He asked, directing his question at both of them. <You do realize you can catch me without beating me half to death, don't you? It's called 'befriending'.> It said. This Taillow didn't seem to hold grudges.

[kitteh]

~Befriending?~ Kenji said raising a brow. How was that possible? Did that mean the taillow would go into the ball willingly or it would just follow them around. Kenji didn't care, it sounded much better then beating his new friend up.

((Seriously, which is it? The ball or following?))

[<3 Janessa <3]

<It means I would willingly be captured in the pokeball doohicky.> It answered with a knowing nod. <I suppose some befriended pokemon would just follow their newfound friends, but most prefer a pokeball, even though lots of trainers have their pokemon out most of the time.> It added, thinking.

[kitteh]

~Good...~ Kenji trailed off. But how to keep Caiden from making him attack. He looked over at his trainer. Caiden was watching, able to tell the two were talking, but what about? Kenji thought for a moment. How to tell Caiden to merely catch the Taillow. Kenji's beady black eyes scanned Caiden up and down, looking for a way. Suddenly it hit him. He ran over to Caiden and began to paw at the empty pokeball.

~USE IT! USE IT!~ Kenji shouted. Sure, his trainer wouldn't be able to understand these words, but it didn't matter. Caiden looked down at the pokeball and then back at the Taillow. Gently tossing it at the pokemon.

[<3 Janessa <3]

The Taillow merely smiled as it was absorbed into the pokeball. It shook once, as if the Taillow was testing it, then it clicked shut.

"YE-AH!" Caiden said picking up Kenji and twirling him around in the air. The little growlithe looked at his trainer with a raised brow. What was wrong with him? Sure most pokemon breeders would absolutely love catching new pokemon, but in Kenji's opinion, this was irrasional. Caiden picked up the pokeball trying to think of a name.

"Daisuke!" He said finally. "Dai for short." He smiled thinking it was a good name. 'great help' was what it meant and this pokemon was nothing but helpful!

[<3 Janessa <3]

A pair of blinking eyes watched the trainer and the Growlithe from the shadows of the trees.

[kitteh]

A strange scent filled Kenji's nostils. Something was there. He snarled harshly as his eyes scanned around. Where was it. Finally he spotted two eyes staring at them. ~GO AWAY!~ Kenji growled warningly.

"Kenji, shush! What's wrong?" Caiden said leaning down. Kenji ignored Caiden, his mind and eyes fixed upon the thing staring at them. Kenji moved forwards slightly.

[shana]

From the trees leapt a shooting Spearow, glaring at the pair. <<Leave, or be made to leave.>> Was the angry yell from the trees. Finally, following from the trees were two other Spearows, one glaring as angrily as the first, the other looking carefully at the Growlithe with an almost, scared look on it's face. The spearows flapped into the air in unison, and awaited the reply of the Growlithe and the trainer. They narrowed their eyes.

[kitteh]

Caiden picked up Kenji. Kenji was too weak to fight three spearows. And as for Dai? Caiden hadn't checked his stats yet, so it was too risky to have him. Instead Caiden did the most sensible thing anyone would do in this situation. Run. He ran through the trees quickly. Stumbling over a few roots, but quickly stopped, knowing he was out of reach from the pokemon. He looked down the pathway. He was almost to the town. He smiled as he walked on.

[<3 Janessa <3]

Nothing really happened. A couple of bird pokemon chirped happily, but that was it.
