Damn, this was a difficult one. First thought was Venomoth, but then I'd have to worry about all the dust all over the place. So I then thought, "Hey, why not Venonat, he's a cute little ball of fur!".. but then I remembered the pokedex entry for Venonat in Soul Silver: "Poison oozes from all over its body. It catches and eats small bugs at night that are attracted by light." Poison-fur? No thanks.
Rapidash wouldn't be a bad choice, I mean, my sister loves horses and has a horse herself, so she would probably be willing to take care of some of the basics and teach me. Also, 150 miles per hour as a top speed in 10 steps? Transportation opportunities!
But then again, horses are high maintenance, so maybe Noctowl would be the better choice, I mean it's freakin' Noctowl! Flying as transportation would be a bonus!
Now, if I were a gangster or something though, a Gardevoir wouldn't be half-bad. It summons small black holes to protect me? Nice! It would be like something outta "The Darkness" I bet!
/Over-thinking like a boss.
I guess my final answer is Noctowl
