Chapter 10:

"Look Kagome. That pokemon is your responibility now. You have to take care of it as ifit were a pet. But it's a fighter too, just don't overdo it with the fighting." Ashley told Kagome. "Have you decided ona new to give it?"

"I'm going to name him Pooch." Kagome replied. "What do you think?"

"I think that's a cute name. It's just as cute as Pooch." Ashley said as she tickled Pooch under it's chin.

"What do youthink of the name Pooch?" Kagome asked the Poochyena, who seemed to be getting mroe friendly with Kagome by the minute. And it barked happily. "Then that settles it. Your new name is Pooch."

"Wait til Inuyasha sees. He'll be thrilled." Ashley laughed.

"Ha! He'll probably make me kick Pooch to the curb." kagome said before picking Pooch up and carrying him in her arms.

"Yeah. But you can't let him get to you. You're a trainer now." Ashley said. "Oh! Here. These should help in case you run into any Pokemon." Ashley said as she held out her hand to give Kagome some Pokeballs. "And here's a belt to hold them on with."

"Thanks Ashley!" Kagome said as she put Poock down and Ashley helped her get the belt on and showed Kagome how to get the balls on there. "Maybe Inuyasha can get stuck in one." Kagome laughed.

"You can try. I think it might work too. These are custom balls. I asked the man if he can make them so they will hold anything. Never know when something will come up. See?" Ashley said as she threw a ball, and soon a whole tent was ready to go. Then she threw the ball back at the tent and the tent dissappeared.

"Cool." Kagome said, instantly thinking of what she could do to Inuyasha if she decided to use one of these balls on him.

"Well, we're almost home, so you can try it if he starts getting on you about Pooch." Ashley said.

"OK." Kagome said. Then, once the house was in sight, Kagome ran to the backyard. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome called. "Come here! I want to show you something!"

"What do you want now?" Inuayasha asked before he noticed Pooch sitting next to Kagome. "What is that thing?"

"HE is my new Pokemon. His name's Pooch." Kagome replied with a smile as she picked Pooch up.

"WHAT?"Inuyasha yelled. "Kagome! You can't have a pokemon. You're not even a trainer. You don't have a license or anything-"

"Wrong!" Ashley exclaimed as Kagome held out her Pokemon Trainer License to show Inuyasha. "She's official."

"Wha..?" Inuyasha asked. "No. We can't have a pokemon following us around. We still need to find all the jewel shards." Inuyasha said. "It would just hold us back from finishing our quest."

"Oh, yeah, I forget. That's all you care about. Getting all the jewel shards so you can become a full demon." Kagome said. "That's right. How could I be so stupid." She said, her voice full of sarcasm.

"Hmph! Whatever." Inuyasha said as he stuck his nose in the air, but Kagome was already in the house showing Pooch off to everyone. So Inuyasha turned on Ashley. "What did you tell her?" He growled.

"I just asked her if she wanted a Pokemon, she said yes, and I took her to see Proffessor Oak. Oh! He wants you to stop by, by the way." Ashley said. "You want to go now? I forgot to grab something from him while we were there-"

"Ashley. Why did you tell Kagome she could have a pokemon?" Inuyasha asked. "I want you to take it back from her!"

"Do I look like a thief to you Inuyasha?" Ashley asked.

"Yes." Inuyasha said. "Ms. Night Thief."

"Huh? I-I don't know what you're umm... talking about." Ashley stuttered.

"Come on Ashley. I know about you and your little thief flings a few years back, before you left. You were the youngest thief to do any jobs at age 13. I bet you still do a few jobs for Giovanni now using your Rattata and Ghastly." Inuyasha said.

Ashley started to chuckle with a smirk on her face. Then she started laughing loudy before she calmed herself down. "OK. You got me. But I quit last year."

"Then why is there still talk of the Night Theif striking?" Inuyasha asked, not soundingone bit curious.

"Huh? They have me in the news or something? And why am I called the night thief?" Ashley asked.

"Haven't you seen it?" Inuyasha exclaimed. "Now why don't you work your magic and kidnap that pooch so Kagome won't have it."

"Because I couldn't do that." Ashley said. "Or are you afriad that Kagome will give Pooch more attention than she gives you?"

"I'm not afriad of anything! You hear!" Inuyasah yelled.

"Really?"Ashley said before she pulled out a pokeball. "Charizard. Come out. Tiem to play with Inuyasha." Ashley said as she dropped the pokeball on the ground.

"What?" Inuyasha asked before he saw a huge dragon next to Ashley.

"Go ahead Charizard, baby. Have fun with Inuyasha. You remember him, right?" Ashley asked.

Then Charizard thought for a moment before remembering when he was a Charmander and Inuyasha always made fun of him. So Charizard smirked as he stomped towards Inuyasha and blew fire at him, causing Inuyasha to run and hide behind a tree.

"Hey! What did I ever do to you?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Remember my little Charmander, right?" Ashley asked before pointing to Charizard.

"THAT'S Charmander?" Inuyasha yelled before having to dodge more fire. "Charizard! Long time no see!" Inuyasha said before having more fire spit at him, this tiem hitting him and making him run to where Mrs. Ketchum was doing laundy and sitting in the bucket of water she had out.

"Are you alright Inuyasha?" Mrs. Ketchum asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Inuyasha said as he stood up, his butt now better.

"OK Charizard, that's enough." Ashley said before Charizard dissappeared.

"Yeah! you better go back in your pokeball!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Do you want me to let him back out?" Ashley asked.

"No. I'm sure he's fine in there." Inuyasha said.

AN- Well, Inuyasha doesn't like the fact that Kagome got a pokemon, and Ashley's a pro theif. Hmm... Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!
