united_one | Attack of the Munna [video/action]

Takashi was walking along, trying to find out new information about this new world. He was too shy to ask anyone for information, so it was just him and Meowth for the time being. Something up ahead caught his attention - it looked like a pink blob floating in midair. His blood ran cold - so far he hadn't seen any spirits in this world, but it was probably just a matter of time. He slowly approached it, getting ready to run if something happened. The blob turned abruptly and faced him, blinking its large red eyes. "Munna?" It had the "look" of a Pokemon to it, so Takashi relaxed a little.

"A floating Pokemon? I didn't know they could do that.." He glanced over at his Meowth, who seemed like a pretty typical cat so far. Who knew what he was hiding though? He turned his attention back to the Munna and reached out to pat it. Suddenly, it let out a loud cry and the bushes around him startled rustling. A sea of pink flooded his vision as an entire herd of the Pokemon burst out of the bushes and swarmed around him, clinging to him. He screamed and pushed them off, then turned tail and ran with the blobs hot in pursuit. "Help!"

Shizuo smiled, watching the Pokemon as they played about. It was kind of cute. "Down, Moyasu," he told his Growlithe, though the tone of his voice lacked any reprimand.

His Growlithe was feeling too mischievous at the moment to obey. "Growl!" He gave Takashi's Meowth a devious grin and began splashing about in the fountain wildly, making certain that some of the water drenched the cat Pokemon. Shizuo's Petilil, not appreciating the waves that were being made, clambered out of the fountain and tottered to Shizuo's side.

"Mroww!!" The Meowth's ears were flattened and he looked most displeased. He walked around the fountain until he was close enough to the Growlithe and then slapped his tail into the water, splashing it back.

Takashi laughed a little at the antics of the Pokemon. As long as they weren't really hurting each other, it was fine. "Hi there." He told the little plant type thing with a wave. This was his first time seeing it - if it had been with Shizuo during their last encounter, he hadn't noticed.

Moyasu growled, shaking off his drenched fur and splattering water everywhere. "Growlithe! Growl!" He tackled the Meowth and began tussling with the other Pokemon, tail wagging. It would have looked like the two were fighting if it weren't for the lack of fireballs and screeching.

"Hey!" Shizuo shouted at his Growlithe, throwing an arm over his head in a futile attempt to keep from getting wet. The Growlithe stopped to give him a glance before going back to playing with Takashi's Meowth. Shizuo scowled as he looked down at the wet spots forming on his already abused outfit. He didn't want to, but it looked like he might have to buy new clothing soon. "Damn dog," he spat, taking out a cigarette. For some reason Shizuo couldn't bring himself to get too upset over it.

His Petilil merely looked at Takashi with a blank stare, not seeming too interested in the boy. After a moment, she wiggled a leaf half-heartedly in greeting.

"Meoowth!" The Meowth swatted and batted at the Growlithe's face, but the fact that the cat wasn't using his claws reassured Takashi that they weren't really hurting each other. In fact, at one point he looked like he was tickling the Growlithe's nose with his tail.

"I guess dogs are the same anywhere you go, huh?" The same couldn't be said of plants though, judging by the fact that there were plant-animal hybrids wandering around.

"Gr-choo!" Shizuo's Growlithe sneezed fiercely onto the Meowth when his nose was tickled, letting out a few stray sparks of fire. The sneeze had enough force behind it to send him jumping back a foot, and he looked rather bewildered.

"Heh. I guess so," Shizuo said, amused. He waved his cigarette at his Growlithe. "Light this, will you?" He had run out of lighter fluid recently, and a Pokemon that could shoot fire really came in handy.

"Growl!"

One well-aimed ember later, Shizuo was taking a satisfied drag on the cigarette. "Thanks."

The Meowth curled into a ball and covered his head to avoid being hit by a fireball. Once it was safe he got to his feet and ran over to the trainers, then shook himself off. His fur was all fluffed up and Takashi laughed, smoothing it down for the cat.

"Do you have more Pokemon besides those two?" He asked Shizuo.

"Nah," Shizuo said, giving his Growlithe a scratch behind the ears as he returned to his trainer, apparently not wanting to play alone. "These two are bad enough." Not to mention Shizuo didn't really know much about catching a Pokemon, other than it required battling. Which he didn't like.

"Same here. I mean, it's just me and Meowth." Takashi picked the cat-Pokemon up.

Meowth seemed rather on edge though. He squirmed free and then climbed on Takashi's arm, up his shoulder and looked peered down his back. His ears flattened and he growled. "Eh? What's the matter?" Takashi couldn't see it, but Meowth could - one of those pink Pokemon was clinging to his back.

Shizuo frowned.

"You again?" He hadn't seen the Pokemon appear. This world didn't seem as dangerous as his own was, but being caught off guard by a possible enemy was never a good thing.

"It's one of the Pokemon from before." He wondered why it came back instead of following the herd. At least it wasn't attacking, he supposed.

"Eh? How long has it been there?" Takashi reached as far back as he could, but he couldn't quite reach it. He didn't feel it at all. His Meowth climbed further onto his shoulder and swatted the clinging Pokemon with his paw. The Munna just clung tighter and squeezed its eyes shut, squealing "Munnaaaa!"

"Don't know." Shizuo sighed, standing up and prying the Pokemon from the boy's back. It struggled to cling on for a moment, but was no match for the (former) strongest man in Ikebukuro. He held it out to Takashi, away from the curious sniffing of Moyasu.

"Here." He didn't know what to do with it, so.

"Thank you." Takashi said to Shizuo, taking the Pokemon carefully since he was holding it out to him.

"You should go join your family now...I'm sure they're not too far ahead." He smiled a little at the Munna and let go of it, but it just clung back onto him. "Don't you want to go?"
"Munnaaaa.." Was the only response he got.

"Maybe it wants to stay with you," Shizuo said, taking a drag on his cigarette. In his experience, Pokemon spontaneously got attached to people, and then decided to follow them around everywhere. It was odd, to say the least. In his world, even domesticated animals were much more wary.

"You think so?" Takashi didn't see why. It's not like he really bonded with any of the Munna. "I guess if you want to stay with me, that would be okay." He patted it and it squealed happily. The Meowth looked decidedly less happy - a new tag-along meant less food for Meowth.
"Is that how you met your Pokemon?"

"Yeah, it is," Shizuo said, watching the kid and the Pokemon. Takashi's not a bad kid, he supposes. His Growlithe, now realizing that the Munna is no threat, barks happily and puts his paws on Takashi, trying to reach the Munna and sniff it more thoroughly.

This is pretty much the extent of Growlithe's training
