Afternoon walk

[Sakuya]

Ai just makes a sound that sounded like 'hn' then walks over to Shadow "Next time don't run off,kay?" she said quietly while Shadow nods

[Xipil]

"Well, it was nice to meet you both, and I would be glad to lend you a hand at any time while we are traveling together." Shade said, then added, "And my name is Shade, by the way."

[Sakuya]

Ai nods "And I will make sure you will be well protected lik, you were my own children." she said while Shadow walks to Shade "Trust me she will act like a mother.." Shadow whispered to him

[Xipil]

"Let her try" Shade growled. He would never hurt a friend of Shadow's, but he didn't like the idea of being treated like a child.

[Sakuya]

Shadow just looks at him then streches "Well she won't over do it.." she said to him again while she watches Sakuya try to catch bugs

[Xipil]

"Why's she leaping at those bugs?" Shade asked suddenly. "After all, there are plenty of berries if she's hungry..."

[Sakuya]

Shadow sighs "She's bored so she tries to catch things for her entertainment." Shadow said simply while Ai walks behind the tree to sleep

[Pidgey]

After being shaken off by the Riolu, Aryll had been quite dizzy. She had stumbled around for a little bit trying to regain her balance, and as she did the Riolu and his friend had wandered off.

Now that the little bird could keep her balance, she climbed into the air and winged her way after the two pokemon, soon catching up to them.

"Hey!!" She called out, swooping low. The Taillow perched herself on the Growlithe's head, this time, hoping to avoid becoming dizzy again. "We don't have to be enemies, right?" She asked the Riolu, hopeful that the two could be on good terms.

[Xipil]

"no, we don't have to be." Shade said, looking up at the Tailow. "But i'd appriciate it if you stopped landing on people's heads. it's not nice." He used his hands to try to pry the bird's talons off of Shadow's head.

[Sakuya]

Shadow blinks at this thens looks at Shade "No, It's ok Shade, it's not really hurting me since I've had worse before.." She said while she lays down with the Taillow on her head then Sakuya watches them and giggles "Awww what a cute Taillow on your head Shadow-chan!" Sakuya said

[Xipil]

"How could you have had worse?" Shade said, looking at Shadow. "After all, I've been in several fights, and that was more pain than I ever had."

[Pidgey]

Aryll squawked and fluttered her wings when the Riolu tried to remove her from her perch. "But my wings get so tired," she protested, "I need somewhere to sit."

She was about to give up and fly away when Shadow spoke up, and said it was okay. Aryll chirped happily in response, fluffing up her feathers and making herself quite comfortable. "Besides, my claws aren't that sharp." She added.

[Xipil]

"Because the points are in my skull!" Shade said, smiling. he wouldn't force the Tailow to move.

[Sakuya]

The puppy pokemon just yawns and blinks while Ai just chuckles "Looks like a feathered friend has taking the oppertunity to be confortable of you head, Shadow.." she said while Shadow sighs "You think I don't know that?" Shadow said

[Pidgey]

The little blue birdy just chuckles to herself as the two pokemon converse, making herself cozy in the Growlithe's soft fur. "Thanks, Shadow." The fledgling Taillow murmurs, fighting back a yawn. It's been a hard day, and Aryll is beginning to grow weary.

[Xipil]

Shade looked at the Tailow, smiling at her show of tiredness. "You're tired from our scrap, are you? That was only a warm-up for me, although i've been traveling and fighting for awhile, so i'm used to it."

[Pidgey]

Aryll shifted her gaze to Shade as he spoke to her. "I guess so." She replied, shrugging her wings. "It's been a while since I've had to battle."

[Xipil]

Shade smiled, "I don't have to fight, but for every fight I get stronger, and that much closer to my goal."

[Pidgey]

"My goal is to evolve...someday." Aryll chirped. "Then you won't be able to beat me!" She declared.

The young Taillow tilted her head and looked curiously at the Riolu. "What is your goal?" She asked him.

[Xipil]

"Like I said earlier, before we scrapped, my mother was killed. I'm out to avenge her." Shade gave his reason for training once again. "And i shall evolve as well, so i will be looking foward to another scrap from you someday."

[Pidgey]

Aryll nodded at Shade's words. "I hope you succeed." She replied solemnly. The little blue bird had been separated from her parents for a long while, and her heart ached to see them again, so she could sympathize with the Riolu. Losing someone you loved was one of the worst imaginable things that could happen, to anyone.

[Xipil]

"I do not hope I will, I know I will." The little Riolu truly believed he would be victorious.

[Pidgey]

"That's right," Aryll chirped in agreement. "Hey, why don't we have a practice battle," she suggested, "you know, to sharpen our skills."

[Xipil]

"Eh, i can tell you're tired. I'll let you rest, it's not much of a challenge to beat a tired pokemon." Shade said, leaning up against a tree.

[Sakuya]

The blue and silver puppy pokemon yanws and lays down while Sakuy and Ai went off somewhere but not to far away from them "Well it seemes your pumped up now are you?" Shadow asked the taillow while smirking a bit

[Xipil]

Shade just smiled, still leaning against the tree. "Either way, she's not going to get a fight from me. She's lucky you showed up and distracted me the first time." Shade looked at the Tailow, "I don't usually let my opponents get away so easily."

[Pidgey]

Aryll rolled her eyes at Shade's comments. "I'm a good battler..." She muttered, mostly to herself, though the other pokemon could likely hear her. She turned to Shade. "We'll battle again," she declared, "after I evolve...and I'll win!"

"Until then, let's get something to eat..." She suggested.

[Xipil]

Shade looked at the small bird. "We just had berries!"

[Sakuya]

Shadow just blinks "Yeah we just ate, and your still hungry? Small bird but big appetite I'd say.." Shadow chuckled at her little joke she made while fluffing up her fur to get more comfortable.

[Pidgey]

"You STOLE my berry," Aryll squawked, frowning at Shade, "remember?"
