Fluffy white clouds loomed over head, each one smiling at Hiko, threatening her with becoming dark, angry and wet. The Vulpix stared up at the sky as if she didn't trust it to stick to the weather report and truth be told Will Constantine didn't much trust it either. Not after their crash into the Ranger's Station yesterday evening. But Hiko's nerves weren't just centered around the sky and demons of water that lurked within, but also something much more close to home.
Namely, her human's off tune singing.
"On the road to," obviously forgotten word or lyric, "idian something city. Got my plan and power to play!" Scratchy voice, puberty struck vocal chords, giggling laughter interspersed, and indecent thoughts practically being projected from the closed eyed girl, all that contributing to the horrible sound tearing apart the peace and calm of the area.
Okay, Hiko was absolutely sure she was making up lines now. Even if the vulpix couldn't speak english she at least knew the song better than Will did. Good bloody grief the girl was dense when it came to music. Then again the silver touched fox had been forced to stow away on a ship that was hosting the band at the time. That particular instance was on the SS Anne as she fled Kanto when she first met Will.
But damn, the girl couldn't sing for her life.
Woe it was to be a Pokémon with keen ears.
Poor beith Hiko who was not at that moment a very happy very comfortable Burmy that was hanging from Will's backpack. A simple tendril was wrapped around a strap and his eyes were shut completely. Some how the bug managed to sleep through the racket, the giant snot bubble coming from its face being evidence of that.
Maybe Hiko would get lucky and a snorlax would fall from the sky and squash her flat and end her misery. Unfortunately right now she just had to follow Will's bare feet as they went on their way through Route 1.
"Damn," Hiko snarled...

"So in conclusion, x is what you need to find. If you can't find x in the first part - there is no point in you doing the rest." The paras said to her students who sat before her. They were great students. A poochyena named John. a Weedle named Waste and a Caterpie named Mellisa. "Now, can anybody tell me about how to find x in this equation?"

[/font][/center] "What the hell...?" Will whispered more or less to herself as she came upon the oddest scene she had ever, EVER seen in her life. She came to a stop and jostled her Mayu, her burmy, awake. He came away with a high pitched yawn and climbed her shoulder while Hiko stared from the ground at wonder.
The Vulpix did however spot the caterpie and one thought came to mind... Food but given the large amount of 'friends' this caterpie had, eating it didn't sound too terribly safe.
From a pure sight perspective, the three Pokémon were in rapt attention to the Paras... The paras unfortunately would see any attack on the group's part. This in itself was quite unfortunate... Sighing Will looked to Hiko and then to Mayu, "Well you guys have any solution?"
"Food" Hiko said simply as her silver ears stood to attention.
"That's horrible, what did that Weedle ever do you you?" Mayu cried in a subdued squeak.
"Weedle serve a purpose, no its the caterpie! Yummy green, fresh caterpie meat!" She retorted with no sound of remorse.
"Settle settle, alright lets see what happens." Will cut in quickly, stepping soundly she l jostled the road and a few plants as she entered the area where the schooling Pokémon were.
"Ohayo!"
Her voice sounded though she had purposely made extra walking noise so not to startle to group too terribly bad.

The Poochyena started crying. <I CAN'T GET IT! I FAIL AS A POKEMON! WAHHH!> Then bolted away from the class and disappeared in the bushes never to be seen again.
The Weedle and Caterpie looked up as a Trainer and its Pokemon said hello. The two nodded in respect and then looked at the teacher.
The Paras looked up and tapped her foot. <Excuse me but I'm in the middle of teaching a class. Now unless you can solve this problem you're free to stay. If not then leave.> Tapping the ground a problem was written in.

"My apologies" She gave a quick bow and gave Hiko look before her feet kicked off, "Follow that Pochi!"
Hiko snorted out a belch of black smoke and in a flash she was after the wild mutt. She already had an insect type but a poochyena was something else entirely. Here eyes quickly made out the trail that it first created by its panicked escape. But after that she quickly lost it, Hiko at this point took over with her speed quickly outpacing her trainer. It wasn't for no reason that Hiko had led Will on a four region chase for two years.
The fox was quick.
Hopefully the panicked Poochyena would be a slower quarry.
"By the way the answer is 4!" She yelled, letting the sound of her voice carry behind her.
In front of her she heard the lilted noise of Hiko. It was ghostly chant that Will always seemed to understand... When the chase was on the kitsune always enjoyed rhyme.
"Star Light Star Light, in the Darkness I seek your night. From the shadow I follow your might so I may feast on your blackened plight."
Creepy.

The Poochyena was in utter despair, running away as if the exercise would wipe away the sadness in his heart. Every few leaps he made, he'd let out a whine or howl, just to let the whole forest know his hopelessness as a Pokémon. Suddenly, he heard rustling of paws pounding just behind him. Surprised, the canine stopped his running and spun around. His ears flitted up as he heard a strange chant that seemed to grow louder and louder, accompanied with the rhythm of paws pounding the forest floor. Just then, he spotted the Vulpix that he had seen earlier at the class. <Why are you here?>he whimpered, eyes narrowed with sadness. <Are you coming to tease me about my math?>the Poochyena accused, his voice full of hurt and self-pity.

Hiko slithered to a slow halt before suddenly launching herself into the tree to continue the trek from above.
"Black and Dark, Shade and Night, you seek escape and yet make known the hurt that is bright as day."
Another hop brought her into a tree that revealed her presence to the 'Pochi', her markings brought into full light, bright red eyes glittering. She could hardly expect Will to turn this one into tonight's supper so the reasons were obvious now, "who cares if you can't perform math? We don't. If you believe you are truly a failure, would you like to a chance to become a success? My trainer is nothing if not persistent to achieve such objectives."
A rush and the sound of foliage breaking announced Will's sudden presence, her chest heaving hard as she took in the crisp forest's air. The girl's eyes sought the Poochyena and she smiled to see that Hiko was already at work. She was a clever vulpix.
"Besides, she has good human food for us to eat. And we get to travel and see new things."
The fox stood silently there after from her perch on the tree limb. Knowing Will, if the Poochyena decided to refuse, battle would be inevitable and Dark type comrade would be a huge step towards creating more balanced team. From other Poochyena's Hiko had met, they were generally an independent crowd and their types often set them apart from others.
It would be interesting.

The Poochyena took a little liking to this girl and the Vulpix. >That is right, who cares about math! I don't need math!< He said although he was still a bit sad because he felt like a failure for not being able to solve the problem at all. >But... I don't want to drop out of school. Can you help me please? How do you solve math problems? Like what is the step?< He asked the pokemon and trainer. He had no idea if Will understood him or not, and he also had no idea how to start a problem like that either. He was just a complete mess, completely loss with no idea of how to fix his mistake. >Do you start with the symbols? Do you start with the numbers? Do you start with the equal? Where do you start?< He was still asking. It was all so complex, he was being really flustered with it. >And what is this good food you talk about? Do you have any now?< He asked the trainer, he heard his stomach growl a little. ::Poochyena:: No idea how to solve math. Also a bit hungry

Hiko nearly fell out of her tree, the air of awe inspiring, cool, smooth vulpix was lost when the Poochyena began asking her math questions. Why me....?
Sighing she slowly climbed back up the tree limb to regain her balance, now that she was safe from falling in an rather embarrassing display. "Well," she leaped off hit the ground a bit more graceful than her near fall and she looked into the mutt's eyes. Sighing once more she turned to look at her trainer. Who shrugged.
"Food,"
Blinking twice Will nodded and pulled at her pouch on her hip. Popping it open, two wrapped plastic sandwiches appeared in her hands as she retrieved her hand. A moment later, one bag was flying directly at the Poochyena in toss while the human girl began immediately unwrapping the second one and split it two ways. Both sets of food were extremely meaty and smelled of chicken, beef, turkey, and cheese, many cheeses actually. Hiko immediately began devouring her half.
"Can't believe I'm doing this. Alright pay attention, this is something all humans learn in school." Rolling out a piece of paper and a pencil she quickly scrawl a word vertically
P E M D A S
"Pemdas, also this could be called Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, lame, but it works like this" She made a gesture to the paper again and began adding to it.
Begin with: First Parentheses (x) Second Exponents 1^2 Third Multiplication 1x2 Fourth Division 2/2 Fifth Addition 1+2 Sixth Subtraction 1-2
"Always do it in this order. With this you should be able to solve most problems of an algebraic nature. When you have a mixed problem like-" With that she took a deep breath.
2x8-7+8
Her voice was dry and dull and yet some how exited, "this."
"You can make it look like this, parenthesis can be added to help better define your barriers at what you can and can't do as long as it doesn't violate your order of operations- pemdas. Here, keep this." She offered the paper which now had the problem the paras had been working on. Something on Will's face looked extremely disappointed that the Poochy hadn't given her a reason begin a battle.
(2x8)-(7+8) 2x8=16 7+8=12 (16)-(12)=4
New Problem: ((2x8)/4)-(7+8)+(3^2)x2 (16/4)-(12)+(3^2)x2 (4)-(12)+(3^2)x2 (4)-(12)+(9)x2 (4)-(12)+(18) -8+18 18-8 10

The small dog blinked a few times while the trainer explained the math to him. He seemed to be paying attention... but his rumbling belly was a clear distraction. He seemed to understand it more clearly as he explained it to him, much more calmly than his Paras Professor had every explained it to him. He blinked once, and his belly rumbled. He blinked again, and then his eyes lit up. "Wait... so you mean an order... pemdas... I UNDERSTAND!" He howled happily, with a leap up into the air. As he landed back on the ground his belly rumbled again and his thoughts turned to food. "Oh yeah... I'm still hungry. Can you help out with that too?" He wondered, cocking his puppy head to one side and rolling out his tongue to look cute.

[/font][/center] Good bloody grief were thoughts that both Will and Hiko shared at that exact moment.
This was getting old.
"I suppose I have a few military field rations I bought before I came to Cheyenne."
Her eyes opened slightly to focus on the Poochyena. Even as narrow slits her face seemed relatively impassive. Then she removed her from her back and began digging through it until she found a square box. Giving sigh she opened it up and tossed two protein bars at the Poochyena. Each one had enough calories and nutrients to account for a full meal each. Given the ingredients they would taste more or less like processed meat.
"Its not the best but its better than most. If you want something special, it'll have to wait and you'll need to join us because dinner isn't for another couple hours."
"She's a good cook when she doesn't experiment with newly discovered sources of food. Though she can cook a great magikarp, caterpie and pidgy up something fierce. Very tasty." Hiko gave a rather satisfying looking grin as she remembered a particularly delicious meal.

The Poochyena tilted his head and then pouted. <Why can't you make some food now?> He asked. He didn't like waiting for things, which is the reason he ran away in the first place. Because he couldn't get that stupid math problem. He huffed and sat on his hind legs. <Please?> He asked with big eyes.

"If you joined our group you could eat good every day... I suppose I could give you a sample."
Frowning she grabbed one of the Pokeball bags she had in her bag. After rifling through it for a few minutes she selected two in particular and set them down on the ground, her thumbs tapping their buttons at the same time.
Hiko looked incredulous that Will was even contemplating cooking this early. She was the boss though...
A rush of green light erupted from the two balls as they were replaced with an ice chest and a tackle box.
Immediately she began pulling out a pair of bright green and red tortillas, salad dressing, meats, cheeses, and lettuce. Sauce then was applied to the tortillas, they were small about the size of an adult's outstretched hand, as she did she began layer on the meats and cheese. Every now and then spices and mushrooms were added before they were rolled up into wraps. Some how the girl had even managed to produce precooked bacon. Once all this was finished she simply cut each Wrap in half, and then cut two of the halves, one from each in half again. Will and Hiko took the two sets of quarters while she laid the wraps halves for the Poochyena.
"The green one is made with spinach, and the red one is made from tomato. Enjoy."
With that she bit into her own and a tasty array of flavors erupted into her mouth, it was almost juicy thanks to the sauces and the well preserved meats such as honey ham, roasted turkey and various non-pokemon animals that were farmed still. The bacon as well gave it a crispy finish while the mushrooms balanced out all the extremely sharp flavors. All in all it was a little piece of edible heaven.
"Like she said, none of that pokefood crap that humans sell in their convenience stores. Eat quick otherwise it'll attract combees and beedrill"[/color] The vulpix breathed a glob of smoke on her own pieces as she roasted the outer tortilla wraps before gobbling them down without bother much to taste it. Obviously this was how they regularly ate, perhaps more so. [/font][/size][/blockquote][/color][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

The Poochyena let out a yip of happiness as the tortillas were laid out in front of him. Not hesitating for one second, the pooch quickly started to devour the food, eating quite noisily as his teeth knashed into the food. The flavors soaked into his taste buds, sending him into a bit of an ecstasy. In a couple of quick bites, the tortillas were demolished and all inside the Poochyena's full stomach. His pink tongue swiped around his muzzle, licking away traces of the food.
<Yummy!>the Poochyena praised, wagging his tail. It seemed he had forgotten all of his depression of being unable to do math. <Do you have more?>the canine begged, red tongue lollling and tail wagging eagerly.

And sometimes you have to say no. A big huge GIANT... NO.
Will motioned to the field rations.
"Unfortunately no as it is its not even dinner and well the rest is for Dinner. If you want more you can eat the field rations and you can come with live with us." Will tapped the two boxes after closing them up and in an instant, two pokeballs were in the place. Grabbing them quickly she repacked them into their pouch and the pouch and into her bag. In a sudden motion she swung the bag over her back, fastened it in place checked to make sure it hadn't pushed her shorts down so her butt was showing (again).
Noting that she was safe and not exposed she sighed and her eyes fully snapped shut. It would take repairing a few broken kitchen appliances to pay for the amount of food that she had just spent on the Pochi. Assuring herself that indulging the Pokémon any further would be a waste, now or never as they say.
Hiko however stared at the Poochyena, "You can come with us, and eat like this three times a day plus snacks. Or you can scrounge around the rest of your life or until your captured and eat Pokémon food which is even worse, same flavor for the rest of your life. Your choice, oh and she doesn't do samples for anyone. Feel honored." More smoke issued from the vulpix's mouth, before she gave one curt nod and began walking to Will. The bait was laid on the table so to speak and Pochi just had to take it.

The Poochyena wasn't the most grateful of pokemon and wasn't the most patient either. >Wait until dinner? I don't want to wait until dinner! Why can't you just give me the food now! Now! Now!< He said again and again. He considered the idea of joining Will especially if he'd be fed like this every day... But he would still have to wait for food, and he'd also have to battle and those involved waiting too and also getting hit and suffering. >I'd rather not join you or any other trainer. But I'd like to be fed by you everyday? How about that? I can be your friend and you feed me everyday!<It started to become rather clear that the Poochyena was a bit on the lazy side. He didn't like to do stuff himself, nor did he have patience. He just wanted things done for him, given to him, without having to move a muscle himself. This was why he ran away from the math problem because he had to solve it himself. And this is why he is so impatient as he'd rather have things for him as quick as possible. What would Will do now seeing how ungrateful and impatient this pokemon really is? ::Poochyena:: Rather not join you. But can be your friend if you give him food everyday. He is lazy, ungrateful, and wants things done for him without doing it himself

Hiko's eye flashed and it was perhaps the first sign of just how similar she and Will were, as the girl twitched in annoyance.
"Come if you want but I don't need to feed freeloaders. You want good food for the rest of your life, you work for me."
With that Will turned and walked away though she didn't notice that the Burmy was no longer attached to her pack or that it was lighter by two pokeballs either, one unused and the one with a slumbering trubbish by the name of Doku. Both spheres were hidden under his sheath of collected foliage. Then again, it was Mayu's intention to see that Will's hard work wouldn't repaid by such... insolence. His eyes narrowed from the tree he hid in wait for. Hiko of course saw him, saw everything as always, she knew what was going on as her eyes were now perked up to keep full attention to the potential battle that was going to take place.
When Will was far enough away to not hear anything else Hiko spoke up, "Lets take it a bit slow, I think I'm still digesting that food." The vulpix didn't want to get far enough away that she couldn't back up her partner in crime should it come to that. Will simply nodded, she was already brooding over the experience and her annoyance was quite plain on her face. Hiko's ears though were pricked in the direction that they had come.

The Poochyena was quite happy. Somehow for some reason this dog had a very blithe spirit and he did not seem to fussed about him failing in math as if he was a Pokemon that was buoyant. <No work and potential free food? I'm in for that!>Noticing that the fox and the trainer had started to walk the Pooch started to follow with light steps. Any chance for him being somewhat lazy was a good situation for him. Even thou he was ungrateful for Will's help and hospitality and could barely survive on it's own, he decided to follow the trainer and the fox. Wile walking he was completely oblivious to the fact that there was a Pokemon staring at him from the side. Who knew what would happen to this poor dog. ::Poochyena:: Being a ungrateful little freeloader.

[/font][/center] A shadow fell across the poochyena and with it a creature cloaked literally in leaf and shadow, its body was black as night and only its eyes were visible. As it was his fall was aimed for his neck and general direction of his head. The burmy's mouth suddenly widened, the bird like beak revealed a pair of fangs that foamed with a white light. As Mayu was moving to land on Fur Face, his eyes glittered, he did realize there was a significant size difference but these shadowy types rarely ever knew how to deal with those with the advantage and this one in particular one struck him as being extremely weak and cowardly.
An impact to his lower body prompted his head to slam onto the surface to which Mayu had landed and he brought about his Bug Bite to exact vengeance on the Poochyena's neck. To further reinforce the attack his tentacle like appendage immediately went to wrap around the base of his skull. This was a tactic he had often used to weather severe gale. It was unlikely the mutt would be able to shake him off if his attack was successful. A tentacle and his bite would be hard to dislodge.
It was only then that he wasn't entirely sure if he had actually landed on the dark pokemon.

Poochyena saw the shadow and jumped out of the way of the Burmy. He turned around and growled defensively. <After I agreed to come with you...> he muttered, angrily. What started as a blithe Pokémon quickly got bereaved from its happiness. He let out a howl before rushing in to tackle the Burmy. <I was going to go with you...but there is not a single chance if your Pokémon is going to attack me.> he growled. Dodged the Bug Bite attack. Angry Used Howl and Tackle on Mayu.
