Walking along, one could hear the tapping of shoes on the rough leaves of the forest floor, as a Pokemon Trainer walked along the path. His hair was blonde, tipped in orange. On his head he wore a green headband, and on his shoulder he had a Poochyena accompanying him.
+How are ya doing, Lykaios?+ spoke the trainer, speaking to the Pokemon in it's own tongue. He strangely could understand and speak to Pokemon.
The Poochyena looked up, obviously named Lykaios. He smiled and replied -I'm fine. Though I'm probably going to take a nap in your backpack soon. Wake me if we get ambushed.- Lykaios said, before jumping in the trainer's backpack.
The trainer was Ivar Quillon, better known as Koppu, due to his glass like personality. He was known as an insane lunatic, and was well known in the hometown he had just left. He could understand and talk to Pokemon, so he had many Pokemon friends, but he didn't have any human friends, and his parents could barely stand him.

Most people would have shirked in disgust away from this route. Well most girs and rich boys over the age of seven. The age where one is to old to play in the dirt. Or to eat bugs. Bugs was the reason why almost everyone hated this route. kakuna's and MetaPods hung from this strands of saliva, from hisgh branches, or glued to trees, and asleep. The sound of something moving aside the bushes in the undergrowth was obvious, which meant that there was more the na few bugs, it was right after a rain ,one which had left the ground squishy underfoot.
Maybe this little Caterpie had lot a dare, or was very courageous. Maybe he just liked rain, but there he was in the middle of the path. His large bulbous head was waving back and forth, serving as a beacon to any bird pokemon around. Of course he didn't look to happy to be out on this path, if one could judge by the scared tears paving their way out of his wide yellow eyes. The sound of the human and the pokemon speaking shocked him out of his reverie, and with a frightened look on his face he directed his gaze upward. To the eyes, and brightly covered hair of Ivar, o it wasn't a bird!
<Don't step on me! Please! Or eat me..you don't do that right..birds do...they like to,..> This caterpie was like a brook, and one full of useless questions and suspicious accusations .Although by his position it was obvious he was ready to fight for his life if that was what was required of him. Why had he even asked the human? Seriously. Where had his mind gone, human couldn't understand pokemon, especially ones they could barely see, covered in mud as they were. This little fellow blended in with the path you see.

Koppu looked down, and smiled. He knelt down, and tilted his head with his eyes closed and a broad smile on his face. +Why would I eat you?+ he responded in the Pokemon's own tongue. This would likely take the caterpie by surprise, but Koppu only wanted to make a friend.
Lykaios, thinking Koppu had been talking to him, said -Why would you WANT to eat me? I'm your friend!- before he poked his head out of Kppu's backpack. Looking down, he noticed the Caterpie. Putting two and two together, he realized that Koppu hadn't been talking to him, so he went back into the pack to sleep for a little longer.
Koppu chuckled at Lykaios' actions, and then turned his gaze back upon the Caterpie. The little guy was quite frightened, so Koppu decided to sit down, make himself look less scary. He tapped the Caterpie lightly, and said +Don't be scared. I won't hurt ya. You're too cute!+

<Cause your bigger than mes.> A simple answer and a true one. It was usually part of the natural order for big fish to eat little fish, and that instinct was what the little Caterpie was basing his assumptions on. The head of the Poochyenya caused him to relax a litte bit, and the gears in his mind started up again. Of course now that he thought about it..WHY THE HELL COULD THE HUMAN UNDERSTAND HIM! It was probably some great pokemon in disguise, and he had insulted it by incenuating cannabalism, which was worse then almost anthing else. What if it was Arceus himself!
The Poochenya had come from a backpack, which wouldn't fit around any bt Rayquaza's back. So it had to be a human, a real one. Although it was a Verrrry odd one. At least humans didn't usually throw caterpies and pots, and eat them. The only bug type who needed to fear that was Slugma. <So he really won't eat me puppy?> That question was directed to the Poochenya, and unles the Poochyenya was a vicious beast then he doubted he'd lie. Of course with those sharp fangs it was rather hard to tell. Dogs didn't eat bugs though, so he should have been fine.
When the hand reached down to pat his head he let out a mulled squeak. Praying to Arceus that it would be quick. Of course the nice sensation the warm hand brought to his mud covered hand was not that of a painful, if not quick, death. In fact it felt rather good. Without even realizing he was doing it the Caterpie rubbed his moist head against the human's hand. Flecks of mud fluttered to the ground as he did so, revealing mroe of his spring green color underneath.

Koppu smiled, and continued to pet the Caterpie. It was so cute! Most people would be grossed out by bugs, especially girls, but Koppu didn't care. Even though he acted more like a girl than a boy, Koppu loved all Pokemon, even those considered ugly.
Lykaios, hearing the question, decided that he wasn't going to get much more sleep. He crawled out of the backpack, and jumped down next to the caterpie. -Nope. Quite unlikely. This guy doesn't have many human friends, so he commonly talks to us.- Lykaios said, then tilted his head. -What's your name? Do you just go by Caterpie?-
Koppu smiled, then tapped his poochyena on the head before saying +Hey, some of us might take that offensively!+ He obviously wasn't offended by what his Pkemon said, and was probably kidding. Lykaios stuck out his tongue at Koppu, and the two laughed.

As long as the boy continued getting rid of that accursed mud the Caterpie would continue purring. That felt good, and the ony creatures around her who could do anything like that would probably snap his head off while doing it. A paras would have no problem doing just that, and a Hoot-Hoot would likely enjoy something like that. Of course this boys hands lacked claws, or anything of the sort. So they weren't that dangerous, unless they held some kind of pointy object. Now he was babbling in his head anyway. The Green Caterpie slithered away frm the human, and shook his head. Flecks of mud flew everywhere, mostly towards the Dog-Pokemon nearby, the one that had migically appeared sitting beside him, and the one that now spoke.
<I am glad then. I don't feel like being eaten today.> Well no doubt the caterpie and weedle that had put him up to this were now long gone. Not to mention he had proved to them just how much of a coward he was. Of course it didn't blink in his ttiny little skull that they ahd run because the human had appeared, and that they in fact had lost the bet. No, now he was just ashamed that he had stoped acting lke bird prey.
<Name?--Reaeeer> At least thats what he remembered it being. Of course for all he knew they could have been making fun of him. The Caterpie had been expecting the Poochenya to suffer for being insolent, instead he just recieved a light tap on the head, and a warning, one administered with a laugh. Realizing that the petting had stopped for a minute he sighed, and turned toward the Poocheynya. <Is having no friends a bad thinggg?> Well to him it wasn't ,and besides he had friends, like fellows who had told him to go get eaten, they were his best friends by far.

Koppu tilted his head. What a strange name, and what a strange question. The name couldn't possibly be true, but the question just sickened him. Who had put these thoughts into the Caterpie's head?
+Friends are quite important. Friends rotect you, friends laugh with you, and friends are there when you need them. Any less, and you might as well question their friendship.+ Koppu said, and turned to Lykaios.
Lykaios walked over to the Caterpie and sat down. -Is that you real name, or did those guys in the bushes tell you that? I'm beginning to believe they sent you out here as a joke.-
Koppu hadn't noticed the Pokemon in the bush. Well, he'd never be able to check off "Have super radar hearing" off of his list. He sighed, and looked at the caterpie. +Would you like to come with us?+

<Oh--rearry?> What was it his brother had said, something about 'friends order you around, friends dare you to do bad things, and they laugh at you. Although his brother had never been very truthful anyway. Besides the human made more sense then almost anything his stupid brother had said, except for the 'they laugh at you part' , these two seemed to do a lot of that. Of course it wasn't like his brother pet him, and made him purr either, so at the moment he had to admit he was leaning towards these two sides. <I guess so --what arre your name’s?> Even though he was still shivering he had noticed the human had no fangs to bite him with, and no way to kill him, quickly anyway. So he decided to make the best of it with some conversation. Maybe it only didn’t eat things when t was entertained.
<Why would it be a joke--and they are still there?> Not anymore they weren’t Upon hearing the Poochyenya's accusations they had bolted. None of them wanted to tangle with a human. Not to mention if Rear was explained the reason why his name was a joke, he might get mad. They all made it no secret that they hated bullying those with enough of a brain to figure out what was going on. So they had scattered. Now who was the true coward. Five higher leveled bugs scared off by a pale effeminate human male, and his barking sidekick. Not to mention they had a hiv of Beedrills that would rush to any harmed Weedle’s aid. <Why would m e being out here be funny...it's dangerous.>
At the question the Caterpie tilted his head curiously to the side. Where were they going? His eyes spoke the question, as well as asked it. Where did a human go?

Koppu smiled, and said +I'm Ivar Quillon, but most people call me Koppu. My Poochyena companion is Lykaios. I found him when he was being attacked by an Electrike, and was there for him when he found out his family was dead. We've been friends for a while now.+
Lykaios yawned. -By now, I've mostly forgotten. It's been about two years. Anyway, so Rear is your real name? If so, alright. If not, what is it? I'm sorry, it's just that the way you seem to be acting is making me question a lot of things.-
Koppu reached into his backpack and pulled out some Pokemon food for the two of them, and smiled. He happened to have some bug Pokemon food, due to shopping back in town. The shopkeeper had, of course, called him Koppu, and of course thought he was insane.
Lykaios smiled and took a bite from the pokemon food before swallowing and looking at Rear.

<As long as your not going to eat me--nice to mee-t you I guess. Aren't you sad Layakios..or Lays or ummm> The name of the Poochenya was beyond his pronouncitation skills. Now he felt embarassed as well as frightened, as was shown by his pinking cheeks, and trembling body respectively. The pair really wasn't that scary, but why would you start talking to something you could step on without having a ulterior motive? You didn't, at least that was what this little guy's thoughts were on the subject. Name? Wasn't that his name? He was always called 'you! or Runty one!' and rear had been the first time they had used something resembling a name.
<That's what they told me.> They of course referring to the bullying little monsters hidden in the bushes. Or they little monsters that HAD been hidden in the bushes. Emphasis needs to be added to the word little. Of course any questioning the Caterpie had been asking of his friends was interuppted when odd pellets hit the ground in front of them. The ever present question of 'what is it?' was soon replaced by a squeawk as the little dog ate it. Food, thats what it was.
Expermentally he sucked backwards through his nose, and sensed the taste of the pellets. Nummy! Most of his earlier reserves banished from his mind he began to pick the bits of food from the muddy ground, ignoring the taste of dirt and worms that came along with it. No use telling him that he might have been a cannibal. Above the sun peeked out from behind the gray clouds that had been hiding it, signaling a new more trusting version of our caterpie friend mayhaps? No such look, even if it was slight he still trembled, ever so slightly.

+Yea really! Friends are allies in a war against society. At least that's how I put it. A true friend won't let you down. A true friend will tell you when you're associating with the wrong people.+ Koppu said, then tilted his head when he heard the caterpie say <That's what they told me>
Lykaios looked at the Caterpie and scanned him up and down. -Rear isn't your real name. Do you want one? Koppu could give you one. I couldn't, because it wouldn't really work out to tell people you were named by a Poochyena.-
Koppu smiled. +That would be strange. But I doubt it would be any stranger than telling others that you were named by a non-pokemorph human who can talk to pokemon.+ he said, then let out a chuckle, accompanied by Lykaios.
+Anyway, the offer still stands firm. You can come with us if you want. We'd always like the extra company.+

<Whats society? And why do friends want to war with it?> The Caterpie hadn't had enough human encounters to have any idea about the movements of the time, and the only bit he got about fashion came from the Weedle/Bug Catchers who liked to wander this part of the forest. So at first he had found Ivar's clothes a little odd at first, but had promptly decided that he liked them. They weren't as scary as the bubble yed masks those other humans wore, although the brightness of the boy's clothes did make you dizzy if you looked at them for too long.
<A name--why isn't it one?> That wasn't saying he didn't want something that sounded more heroic. The real question was why it was so unacceptable, maybe it was a insult in human language. Yet surely his friends wouldn't be out to pick on him by naming him something stupid. They weren't like that--right?
Turning his head up to the Poochenya he scrutinized him as well. Was that look one of hunger? No of course not he had just eaten. Those two looked like they were having fun, scooting forward he managed to move his mud covered body, now exposing his entire mud covered body for what it was. Green, and mobile because of 3 sets of little yellow stickers. <where ya going?> Almost there. But his friends were so nice to him, and what if this fellow was a mnster in disguise,that's how all humans were.

Koppu, noticing something was off, stood up, and picked up Lykaios. +We're headed to the next city. I'm a Trainer, and I'm trying to get all of this regions badges. But, considering how you've been acting, I'm not sure you'd enjoy traveling with us, so we'll be on our way.+ he said, and began walking. Lykaios agreed, something was up.
After they had gotten a little ways away, Lykaios broke the awkward silence through saying -What do you think that was all about? Think he was trying to go through with some dare?-
Koppu tilted his head. +Not sure, but it was really awkward. I think we got out of that situation at the right time. Anyway, hopefully we'll meet someone a little more... sane...+
Lykaios laughed. -I wouldn't be talking if I were you.-
+Shut up, Lykaios!+ Koppu replied, but soon the two of them were laughing, as usual.

The Caterpie slunk dejectedly into the bushes, its head hung down. Well they had just said his friends were cruel! Why wouldn't they be? oh well it was to late now. Best just go go home,and be made fun of for not confronting them upfront, be called a coward, and a buffoon.
The forest was still full of life, a cacophany of bugs chirred deep in the foest, ones call sounded exactly like a violin. Nearby and above the pair of traveler's head a odd 'THUMP THUMP! sound could be heard. Followed by a flare of red from the trees above, a deep breath and more of the same rattling collisons. The creature in the tree was a Hoot-Hoot, and it was trying to break into the Shell of a Metapod, to get the creature out. Most birds found the half evolved form of Butterfree to taste quite good. It was cracking open this shell that was the hard part.
The Metapod didn't utter a sound, its face being against the tree bark as it was. Muting it in a sense.
The Hoot Hoot sighed. <Damned thing won't open!> Taking a deep breath he hopped back along the branch, as if to tackle it, the Metapod..

Koppu, seeing this, placed Lykaios on the ground. Smiling, he pointed at the Hoot-Hoot. +Kindly perform tackle on the attacker.+
Lykaios, now well rested, smirked. -With pleasure.- he said, starting a quick dash before clawing on the tree, climbing up with incredible speed. Soon, he reached the top, and kicked with his back feet at the Hoot Hoot.
Koppu ran over to the Metapod and placed his arms around it, then jumped back with it in his arms. He didn't know how it would react, if it would know that Koppu was trying to help, or think that Koppu was another enemy.
Meanwhile, Lykaios was still in his tackle, as he cried -Prepare to suffer for your actions!-
