Afternoon walk

[Sakuya]

Shadow sits down and looks at the taillow, making sure she wouldn't do anything to them...but then again that bird could be lunch for the Growlithe if she ever did anything to upset Shadow. Shadwo yawns a bit but not from tiredness "Well now, you should learn not to mess with pokemon bigger than you...especially if their diet could include birds, like you." Shadow said quietly

[Xipil]

"Or mess with pokemon like me." Shade said, looking at the bird. "If I hadn't been distracted, i'd have chased you down." He looked like he really wanted to give the small bird a swift kick, although he held back.

[Sakuya]

The Growlithe nods in agreement and lays down and sighs "Wonder where are they.." She said and blows a small ember but to small to burn anything to much

[Xipil]

"Thinking of those others you got seperated from again?" Shade asked, his mind brought off the Tailow, although still focusing on it's movements and ready to attack.

[Sakuya]

Shadow sighs again and nods "Yeah.." she said and nibbles on a peice of grass to ease her boredom and her hunger that was awakening for something to eat.

[Xipil]

Shade noticed her eating grass. "Doesn't that make your species sick?" He asked, worried. "You don't have a bellyache, do you?"

[Sakuya]

Shadow shakes her head "No I'm fine!" she chirped then her stomach growls and she blushes and sweatdrops at this "Ehehe....maybe just a tiny bit hungry.." she said while still blushing and sweatdroping in embarrassment

[Xipil]

"well, in that case..." Shade looked around at the trees nearby. "what kind of berry do you like? Sweet? Spicy?" He hoped to snatch another Pecha Berry for the bird, as well, so it didn't go hungry. "I'm feeling unusually genorous right now, so i'll snag some berries for you both."

[Sakuya]

Shadow pondered and spoke "Sweet." she said feeling a bit of a sweet tooth for Pecha berries, that she adored when she was just a 1 year old pup

[Xipil]

"All right then. Be back in a minute." He ran off, leaping into a tree to get to the Pecha Berries. He picked two, then lept down and returned to the others. "One for you, and one for you." He handed Shadow and the Tailow a berry each.

[Sakuya]

Shadow blinks then grins at him "Thanks, Shade-kun!" she chirped and ate the berry, happily then looks at the taillow then back at Shade "So what do you guys wanna do?" she asked

[Xipil]

"I don't know. I'm usually not around others as much." Shade said, looking around. "I'm usually busy training to avenge my mother." A thin layer of moisture covered his eyes as he thought about his mother.

[Sakuya]

Shadows ears flatten when she senses his sadness and walks over to him,giving him a friendly nuzzle before speaking "Hey,it's Ok, Shade-kun, no need to be sad." she said and blushes at what she just did even though it was friendly

[Xipil]

Shade was surprized at her nuzzling him, reminding him of Arcanine, the pokemon who had taken care of him through out his first few years, and who had been a close friend of his mother's. "Thanks." Shade said, looking at Growlithe. He realized Growlithe evolved into Arcanine. Was that why his want to befriend this pokemon was so strong?

[Sakuya]

Shadow smiles "Your welcome." she said and lays down next to him, closing her eyes but still awake,she was thinking a bit and relaxing

[Xipil]

"You know, those others, they're probably looking for you at the moment." Shade said, then smiled, "You did say you do everything together, right?"

[Sakuya]

Shadow giggles and nods "Yeah, they probaly are." she said then blinks at his question "Uhhh, yeah we do." she said

[Xipil]

"Then I have no doubt. They're looking for you." Shade said. Even though he traveled alone, he knew more about living with others, from being with Arcanine. He and she used to be like the trio, never leaving each other's sides. The hardest thing he had ever done in his life was part from her.

[Sakuya]

Shadow nods again "Hey Shade...would you...maybe.. like to travel with me and the rest?" she asked him, looking at him while waiting for his reply

[Xipil]

Shade shook his head. "I cannot, i must follow my own destiny." he wished he could, but he knew his destiny was to avenge his mother. "But when I have completed my task, i shall find you, wherever you are."

[Sakuya]

Shadow nods understandering "Ok,! It would be easy to spot me, unless theres another silver,and blue Growlithe thats roaming atound!" She chirped and laughs a bit then suddenly a black ball of fur with red in it tackles the unexpecting Growlithe which makes Shadow yelp in surprise

[Xipil]

(That must be Sakuya, judging from your pictures.)

Shade was on his feet in a minute, ready to fight this new percieved threat.

[Sakuya]

The blur turned out to be Sakuya (Yeah you guessed right *gives him a cookie* and wags her tails while Shadow has swirly eyes "Uhhh.." She said while Sakuya grins "There you are Shadow!" she chirps

[Xipil]

"You know this pokemon?" Shade asked, looking distrustingly at Sakuya.

[Sakuya]

Shadow pushes the Vulpix off her andn ods "Yeah, this is Sakuya,she's the one of the two adopted sisters I have..Now where's Ai at, surly she woulsn't let you roam off like this looking for me." Shadow said to Shade and Sakuya, while Sakuya blinks "She's coming right now." The Vulpix stated

[Xipil]

"I've been thinking, Shadow, and I think I may be able to travel with you for awhile." Shade said, looking at her. "After all, I can't really complete my goals until I evolve, so why not hang around?"

[Sakuya]

A Cyndaquil spoke behind Shade "Hmm, another companion,eh? Well try not to do anything funny to the girls." Ai said while Sakuya laughs knowing Ai ment Shadow. Shadow sighs "He's just a friend, jeeze." Shadow said while sweatdropping

[Xipil]

"I would worry more about sneaking up behind me." Shade said. "My species doesn't like to be surprized." He turned to face Ai then, the light of battle fading from them.

[Sakuya]

Ai smirks "Well sorry It's been awhile since I had a littel...'fun'.." Ai said,chuckling a bit while Sakuya tries to catch an insect and Shadow sweatdrops again

[Xipil]

"I'd be certain it's fun for all before making a move, it could get you into deeper trouble than it's worth." Shade said, looking over Ai.
