Ch:3

It had started to get dark and Tozumi thought it was best to stop for the night. They stopped when she saw a big clearing where she thought they would be safe for the night. She gathered the few things that she needed for a fire and started there. when she finished she began digging through her bag. She found her box of Pokefood. She took a handful out and called for Pikachu.

"here you must be hungry..have some" She said holding out her hand to him. Pikachu being curious sniffed her and when he realized it was food she had he took a piece from her extended hand. When he wasfinished with the one piece he took it wasnt long before her hand was empty. That was when Pikachu began to act weird...like he was mad that there was no food for him.. Then Pikachu climbed the nearest tree and settled down in a high branch. Tozumi got out and unrolled her sleepingbag by the roaring fire.

"Hey why dont you come down and get warm by the fire." Tozumi called Pikachu jumped down and curled up in a ball at the end of Tozumi's pokemon sleepingbag. Before Tozumi could even close her eyes, there was a long loud howl that echoed through the dark thick forest. She got out of her sleeping bag and right behind her was Pikachu. When they stopped deeper nito the forest and there they found a pokemon bound in a net. Without thinking Tozumi pulled out her pocket knife and cut down the pokemon. The bundle feel to the ground, the pokemon stood on his four strong legs and looked at her. The pokemon looked like a a small black doggie with white metal-looking stripes on its back, metal braclets on its paws and whit helmet looking peice on its head. She atomaticly pulled outher pokedex and this is what it told her: "Haundour" "It is a dark and fire type pokemon"

Before she could pull out a pokeball another howl echoed..but much much louder and much much closer. The houndour ran towards the noise and right behind him was Tozumi and Pikachu. When they caught up with the houndour..it was standing near another net, which was on the ground..a pouch

'who would do this to pokemon??" Tozumi said sounding upset about them being trapped.

"hahahaha...my dear..we would" Multiple male voices and one female voice replied. Soon Tozumi was surronded by men and women dressed in all black..with the red "R" on their chests.

"Stand aside girlie! These houndour are coiming with us!!" One of the men said with a clipboard in his hand.

"No!! I will not let you hurt these houndour" Tozumi said determined.

"Well then you leave us no choice" the same man said snapping his fingers. "Alright men..lets get her Show her why people dont mess with Team Rocket." With that they all threw pokeballs and multiple pokemon surrounded her.

Tozumi looked at Pikachu "Look I know you dont like me, but if you dont help me fight these jerks those poor houndour will suffer greatly." Tozumi said looking angry with a touch of scared to it. At that Pikachu ran infront of her..ready to fight.

"Alright Pikachu..use Thundershock!" suprisingly Pikachu obeyed. Pikachu defeated most of the pokemon but Tozumi could tell that he was tired and hurt. Soon Pikachu collapsed..Tozumi ran towards him as a giant plant pokemon launched a vine whip attack.

Tozumi got there in time but the vines connected with her shoulders..she hit the ground..hard.

"Ha..ha..well looks like we will be taking not only the houndour but your Pikachu aswell..haha" the man with the clipboard said laughing and walking towards her.

Right before he could get there the houndour that Tozumi had set free got between him and his target and began baring his fangs.

"Stupid Mutt!! Move it!!" the moan said barking the order. The houndour opened it mouth and a blash of fire engulfed the man...along with the other men.

Getting the point Team Rocket left. When Tozumi woke Pikachu was right beside her.

"Pikakchu..you alright??" Tozumi said worried. He jumped on her shoulder and rubbed against her cheek. Tozumi looked around and noticed htat the houndour were gone.

"well atleast they are safe." She thought

They headed back to camp to pack up and leave. When she arrived at the camp site she discovered the pack of houndour.

"what are all of you doing here?" Tozumi said a little confused at seeing the pack at the site. One of the houndour came and stood beside her and howled sending the others running back into the woods.

"Hey, you friends are leaving you...arent you going with them?" Tozumi asked

the houndour laid down at her feet, Pikachu moved towrads it and Tozumi could tell that Pikachu like him.

"Well if you like you can come with us" Tozumi said calmly.

the houndour barked and it sounded like a yes.

"Ok..i let you choose..walk of pokeball" Tozumi said placing one of her many pokeball on the ground. Houndour walked towards the ball,pushed the button and was engulfed into the ball...which started to shake. When it stopped Tozumi picked it up and smiled.

"well Pikachu..looks like we have a new friend" Tozumi said smiling as she finished packing. When she finished packing Tozumi got on her bike and rode out of the forest..with her new pokemon and new friends.
