\\An Adventure For More Than One//

[Ryuuk-Chan]

"Alright! A new start! This is going to be fun, right Reizo!" The messy haired girl said to the dog Poke'mon. The Growlithe barked happily, seeming to agree. She took a deep breath as she walked, dirt being kicked up with each of their steps. Not much happening yet, but as long as she was moving, she was content.
Not as it running away from a store clerk that just realized that she had just ripped them off. No, no, no. She didn't enjoy stealing, though she had to admit there was a huge rush gained from it, but she managed not to become addicted to it.
That is why she rather beg then steal. But now, she didn't have to worry about that, or so she hoped. Having a pokemon ment she could win contest or stuff like that. Finally she could manage to have an honest way of gaining things.
"I am glad I don't have to be a pickpocket anymore." Zenryuu finally sighed. Reizo let out a growl, seeming to agree again. She speed up a bit, causing her pokemon to also pick up its pace, though it didn't seem to mind. It actually seemed to enjoy going faster.

Ashton had been blowing thehairaway from his face for what seemed like forever, and it had started to get annoying. Yes, he did love his hair and would probably eat anyone who tried to cut it, but it was horrible on a wet or windy day... A small smile was to be seen on Ashton's face as he looked to his shoulder to find the small pokemon that he had collected from the lab. They were quite rare and Ashton was suprised that he was getting one. Despite being and earth and dragon type, it was very light and Ashton could hardly feel it there. It would grow up to be strong one day, but at the moment the only two moves it knew were tackle and sand attack... Soon it would know awesome attacks that would take Ashon somewhere, and when he was there he could prove that his dad was wrong for abandoning him, and his mum... He thought of his fake dad rotting away in prison, it was hardly his fault that Ashton quit school but he seemed to be getting blamed... Ashtonn didn't blame him but he didn't exactly want to help him either.
He loved the fact that he now had someone to talk to... Well, something. Although that this little guy would sit down and listen to him, Ashton would never get a pokemon that he could fully talk to, he would need to meet another human for that to happen, and he didn't know anyone. It would be nice to travel around the routes of Arien with another person, but who? His prayers and wisheds were answered as his feet seemed to take him to a place where he could see a girl and her growlithe... Company. Ashton sped up his walk trying to catch up but failing miserably, he called out, "Uhmmm, Red hair?" This could be seen as something rude and something that someone would attack him for but he didn't mean it rudely, he didn't know what to all her... His pace sped up quite quickly as he caught up with the other girl and her pokemon...

OOC;;
P.S. - You used a colour so I had to asell! X3

[Ryuuk-Chan]

Zenryuu was surprised to hear some calling out, let alone to her. She knew it was her because of two things. One, there was no one else here, and two what was the chance of seeing some one else around here with red hair? She noticed a boy had caught up to her and Reizo, so she slowed down to a normal walking pace so she wouldn't force him to walk too fast. "Um.. hello." She said to him, rubbing the back of her head. Ah, this was one of the problems with being homeless for most of your life.
The lack of being social with other people. Well, on good terms anyway.
Thus caused her to feel a bit nervous around black and blue haired male, who seemed to be around her age.
Reizo was more interested in the dragon pokemon on the human's shoulder, it sniffing the air and looking up at it curiously.

His little companion seemed to have been enjoying the fact that they were moving quickly and enjoying it even more now that they were around other people... Well, one people and a pokemon. He liked meeting up with someone else and this person seemed to be quite unique to say the least... How many people do you know with red hair? ((My sister has red hair...)) Well, not only that but she seemed to be the same age as him and they both seemed to have the same type problem, a social life. Just knowing the girl for the few moments that he did, Ashton could tell that she wasn't the most ocial person in the world. He didn't know about her but his reason was being left by himself too much, his dad abandoned him before birth, his mother when he was young and then the person that he had called dad for many years told him the he wasn't his real dad... Ashton had stopped going to school so his dad was sent to jail, and that was when Ashton was sent to a foster home... They were a bunch of gits... "Ummm... Hi?" He had done the easy part, getting her attention, the hard part was now striking up a conversation... "So, ummm, your new on the journey aswell?" He asked as he started walking at the girls pace.

Zenryuu nodded and smiled weakly. "Yeah.. um.. I am Zenryuu. But call me Zen or Ryuu. I don't like my full name." She said, introducing herself. She stuck her hand out half way, not seeming sure if offering a hand shake would be a good idea or not. She thought it would be polite to offer a handshake, but with how social she was, she couldn't be sure anymore.
The curse of being some-what shy. Could never be too cofident when around someone new.

With a soft smile, Ashton noticed further that she seemed to feel uncomfortable around him, he also noticed the half hovering hand which seemed to have developed a mind of it's own... Seeing that neither of them were used to this, he thought he would take the front seat and stretched his arm out quite far in shaking the girl's. He was wuite suprised that nothing had happened yetm no pokemon, but seemed pretty glad as his small pokemon seemed to be quite a newbie... He only had one pokemon, what if two came out? He guessed that this random girl could probably help... "That's a nice name..." He smiled clearly before saying, "I'm Ashton... This is Gible... Come to think of it, I haven't thought of a nickname for you..." Ashton mind, though not very big, stretched and stretched trying to think of something to call it... "What's your's called?" He gestured to the pup before asking, "And can you think of anything that my Gible could sound good as nickname-wise?" He did want his pokemon to have a nickname but asking her seemed to just be his way of starting a bigger conversation...

[Ryuuk-Chan]

Zenryuu looked down at her Growlithe and smiled. "I am calling him Reizo." She said, Reizo barking happily, it's fluffy tail wagging slightly. She then looked up at the sky for a moment, scratching her chin, then said, "Well... um.. how about Dai or Mamoru?" She asked, them being the only nicknames she could think of off the top of her head. She liked trying to match the nickname with the Poke'mon, and those seemed good. "If you don't like them, sorry. They are the only ones I can think of right now." She said, giving him a slightly goofy smile. She was starting to feel abit more comfortible around him.
Good thing it doesn't take long to get over her shyness.

{OOC;; Here are the defintions of the nicknames. Dai= Beloved one or adored one. Mamoru= Earth. I like Japanese names XP}

Ashton's smile seemed to be growing like a sponge in water now... (I am bad with simile thingies ) He liked the fact that he was getting to be slightly familiar with the girl, opefully, soon, they would not have to start useless conversations and talk randomly like most friend type people did... "Nice names," He smiled reffering to both the names that she had suggested and the name of her pokemon... He didn't have any idea of what they meant, and trying to get all that he could from this conversation and make it as long as he could, he asked happily, "So, what do those mean?" He asked, they both counded quite good but as he spoke, it became obvious that he liked one more than the other... He didn't know why but he seemed to love the name 'Mamoru'... "I reckon that Mamoru sounds like a good name to call him..." He smirked as his land shark nodded on his shoulder...

[Ryuuk-Chan]

"Thanks. And Dai means beloved one or adored one and Mamoru, the one you chose to call your poke'mon, means Earth." Zenryuu said. It was a rather fitting name for the Poke'mon, little did she know. She then tried to remember what Reizo ment, but nothing seemed to come to mind to mind at the moment. "Eh... I forgot what Reizo ment.." She said, sheepishly looking down at ther poke'mon. It just looked at her curiously, not seeming to mind her lapse of memory. She was glad that she had some one to talk to for once, since no one seemed to want to talk to her when she was just wandering the streets.
But that was just the way most people lived. Never noticing or just ingoring a dirty homeless person's existance.

This girl, there must have been something wrong with her... Well, something that made her unsocial. It might have been death of loved ones, or maybe not having a home... That really bugged him. The fact that religious and happy people would say that they would help out homeless people and give them money, help them to their feet and give them a social life. But as soon as they met a person without a penny to their name, their attitudes completely changed, they would move away from them, be horrible and do whatever they could not to be seen with them. He hated people like that... "Ah, you are quite clever then?" He asked happily with a smile, how could comeone know things like that? Just forgetting one name... That was amazing. Ashton was, and didn't care if people knew, very thick headed. This was kinda annoying when people started using big words and confused him but he had gotten used to it. He was so glad that he was with someone, and they were talking like normal people!

[Ryuuk-Chan]

Zenryuu almost chuckled at that comment. "I guess. Good thing too, or who knows where I would be right now." She said, thinking of a few unpleasent ideas, most of them including her being in jail. She shook her head slightly, not wanting to think about that. She would rather be on the streets then in a cell. So, he was right in away. She had to be clever to keep her self out of those type of situation, know what and what not to do... or steal in the few cases she was forced to do so. Yet, she focused her mind back to the present and the person she was talking to. It was such a nice change of pace.
