Nikko : A Riolu
Cayde : A Zangoose
Serah : A Braixen
Sorey : A Buizel
One day in the peaceful forest village of forerest. A Buizel awakes just like any other Pokémon to start his day.
~Sorey's P.O.V~
"Today's gonna be the day I just know it." After all this time , I think ,I finally gathered the courage to tell my dad that I'll be leaving to join a guild named Infinity. I know i'm only sixteen and all , and that I'm not all that strong and all ,but this has been my dream ever since I was rescued by a team from a mystery dungeon I somehow wondered into when I was little. "Your breakfast is ready. Sorey , are you up yet?" My dad , A adult Floatzel , called from downstairs in the kitchen. "Y-yeah , I'll be down in a few." I yelled back from on my bed. I quickly jumped from my bed , knocking my Riolu plush on the floor and ran to the door , but was suddenly stopped."Agh, Wait a minute. I really gotta pee." I said , turning around and taking flight to the bathroom , which is connected to my room , once I finished draining my load , I ran down stairs from my room ,and hugged my dad tightly , all before joining him at the kitchen table for breakfast.
A few minutes pass , and I began to get this weird feeling in my body.(Oh man , I feel like my heart's gonna explode from anxiety...I don't...think I...can...come I had so much courage this morning.) In an instant I fell into a cold sweat to the sound of my father saying"What's up , Sorey , you look extremely nervous?" "Agh-Da-d(I honestly couldn't stop shaking.)It's...ju-just that. ''I stuttered "Take your time , Sorey." he said. I really don't know how to say this to him...but here goes.. "D-ad , Umm...I'm going to be leaving later today...to…follow my dream of being in a guild with a team."
Oh my gosh , I literally just said it to him , I feel like i'm gonna pass out. I can feel the sweat on my face grow even colder than it already was."WHAT?(Just so you know ,I can completely feel the anger in his voice, and because of it tears slowly began to roll down my face.) SOREY ,YOU'RE ONLY SIXTEEN , WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU COULD DECIDE SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON YOUR OWN." He yelled. I guess he's right...maybe I'm...just too young…"No, Dad i'm in control of my life. You can't suppress my dreams by keeping me here fo-forever." a feeling in my stomach had suddenly arose it was weird I could butterflies fluttering around in there ,in addition to that , the lower half of my body hurt and I began to hear a sound...a sound that echoed from within. Could it have been my heart?
"Sorey , look at me." my dad said , reaching over the table and placing his paw in front of me. My hearts never felt like this before...I slowly began to look up and noticed my father's paw. I trailed it all the way back up to his eyes , which were deadlocked on me. "Sorey...be safe ( Wagah ,he's kidding~Sniffle~right?) I love you Sorey and for that I only want you to be happy , so if you want to go off and join a guild~Exhales deeply~ I won't stop you." He's dead serious...isn't he? "D-ad , th-thank you so much." Completely overwhelmed with excitement I jumped over the kitchen table and tackled my father. "Agh , Sorey , was it really necessary to tackle me." He said with swirls in his eyes." "ah , sorry dad." I quickly climbed of him and ran up to my room to start packing.
(This is gonna be so awesome , I can't wait to join the Infinity Guild , and actually be apart of a team , traveling through countless dungeons, helping out Pokémon in need , and even being rewarded for it.) "This is gonna be amazing...Huh , Nikko." I froze , staring at my Riolu plush doll laying upside down on floor against my bed. (No way , I'll be joining a guild soon , what would I look like sleeping with a teddy bear.) I turned and continued packing my things in my backpack. While I was doing that my dad walked into my room holding a small box. " Sorey , I have something for you.(Wonder what that is?) I wanted to give this to you when you were older ,but...now seems like the right time. I stopped packing and moved over to him. " A dear friend of my named Spencer made this for you(I should have known)." He said , removing the top from the box. (Amazing!) Inside was a blue transparent-like armband with sphere of glowing water in the center.
"This is a very powerful item. It can do so many unbelievable thing. Sorey , please don't use it for bad intentions." He then closed the box and handed it to me. (Why would he give me such a dangerous item...ya'know what it doesn't matter, cause I'm a good boy and would never resort to evil.) "Thanks, Dad." "Now , listen ,Sorey. With great power comes great responsibility." (I swear I've heard that from somewhere.) "Ok ok , dad I know...just go I have to finish packing." he then left and closed the door behind him. (Now, lets see…I have three of each status recovery berries and Health recovery berries…Apples , Orbs , and other stuff , including money , all checked. " I'm finally ready." (The Infinity Guild is just north of here , that's just beyond luminous forest in Zefera town.) "If I leave now, I should be able to make it their by noon...Well then it's about that time~Smiling~goodbye Nikko.
I then grabbed my backpack and walked downstairs. "Sorey , I assume you're ready to go now?" My dad said turning from the kitchen sink. "Yeah , I'm ready." Dad , then walked over to me and pulled me into a big hug. "Dad , I'm going to miss you so much." ( Trying to these tears back is starting to become impossible.) "Sorey , I'm going to miss you even more. Don't forget to write me , and please come visit me sometime with your new friends." He said trying his hardest not to cry. "I promise , I will." Dad ,then released me from his hug. I stared at him for a bit before leaving the house and walking towards luminous forest. ( It's a good thing I know some secret short cuts.) "~Giggling~ Infinity Guild , HERE I COME!
[The Infinity Guild : It is located near a cliff facing Zefera town's beach. Its is a place where Pokémon , gather together , form teams , and take on the request of Pokémon in need. The guild has its own living quarters that can fit a maximum of three Pokémon in it. The rooms are mostly wood , this is mainly to keep the feel of nature around. The Guild master is...well let's not say just yet.]
~Meanwhile at Infinity. A Riolu emerges from the bathroom of his room~
Nikko's P.O.V
"That shower was so boring." I said drying the fur on my head with a towel ( I would have loved some company.)"...I wish big brother was still here with me...Aggg , that jerk. Big brother , Why'd did you you leave me here and join another guild." Suddenly I heard knocking at the door and a familiar voice say. ?" Nikko , are you up yet?" (Huh , that sounds like Serah.) "Yeah , I'm up...just give me moment." I said , walking towards the door to open it. "~Smiling~Good morning , Nikko." Serah , a beautiful braixen with a pink ribbon on her chest , and nicely groomed fur, said entering my room. "Morning , Serah...have you decided what kind of request we're gonna do today." "Not exactly…you see I really don't want to go too far from the guild today." (I wonder what could be up , she usually always picks jobs that go pretty far from the guild.) "Why what's wrong?" I said tossing the towel on my bed.
"Well...I've been thinking(She then took a seat on the spare bed.) Having just the two of us in a team isn't going to cut it...we need more members , that way we could take on request with better rewards , and maybe even a stronger challenge." "Whoawhoawhoa , let me get this straight , you basically want a bigger team so we can do more things ,right?" I said walking over to my night table to retrieve my Flame looplet.
"Yes , that's exactly what I'm trying to say." "Well , you're the team leader , what you say goes." I said, patting her on the shoulder. She suddenly jumped up with excitement. "You're right , Nikko.(ahhha , that was quick.) Our mission for today is to find two new members for our team." Serah said , pointing her wand up in the air. Suddenly , both our stomachs began to growl."ahha~Scratching head~ can we do that after breakfast."I said"~Giggling~ Sure thing , let's go." she said , pulling me through the somewhat crowded hallway ,to the dining hall, where breakfast was being served , with a huge smile on her face.
A few minutes after we picked up our breakfast , we found our way to our usual wooden table over by the window. "Nikko , I think I know who'd be perfect to have on our team... (What! Already.)...Cayde , just look at him he's lonely over there by himself , what do you think Nikko?." (Personality , I think you're crazy for considering a Pokémon who I NEVER get along with.) I quickly glanced at him , and found that he was doing the same to me.~Cayde stands from his seat and exits the dining hall~"But Sseerraahhh him, he doesn't even like me."
I said "it'll be fine , Nikko. I already talked to him about it telepathically." (That was quick.) "So what did he say?" I asked frantically standing , and slamming my hands on the table, staring at her ominously. "Geez , for a Pokémon that doesn't like another you're pretty excited." She said ,staring at me with a raised eyebrow. (What the what!) "NO , I just wanted to know if he was going to be on my team or not." I frantically said. (Geez , it's not like I like the guy or anything~Blushing~)
"Ahem , you mean MY team , don't forget who's the leader here , baka." (Dddaaammmnnn iiitttt , she stalling.) "Uuggh , fine Serah , I'm sorry please forgive me." I said calmly sitting back down in my seat. "Good...He said he'll join (Noooooo) only if you lose to him in a battle." She said. ( WWWHHHAAATTT.) "Time out, let me get this straight , so basically you're saying if I beat him in a battle he won't join." He quickly nodded her head saying. "Exactly."
"~Exhales~ Well then , it looks like I'm have gotta' beat him down" (Oh wait , what about the whole getting new members thing.) She turned her head to the window with a smile saying "Actually." "Wait , let me guess , you want me to throw the match , don't you?" "Exactly!" She said ,pointing her wand at my face. (I swear the things I do for this girls.) "Fine , I'll throw the stupid match , but I'm not gonna make it easy for him." I said quickly eating my breakfast. "Thanks Nikko , you're the best!" She said , sticking her wand back in her tail and eating her breakfast.
After we finished we headed outside to the guild's plaza.
[The Infinity Guild Plaza is essentially a gathering place for the guild members located just outside the guild doors. In the center of the plaza is a large totem that stands as tall as the guild itself , inscribed on it are the rules of the guild. The breaking of a guild rule results in banishment , Moreover the plaza is where some teams undergo recruitment and where others separate to call it a day. Don't get this confused with the grand hall ok.]
"Ok , Serah what do we do next?" I asked , opening the guild's front door and walking out into the plaza somewhat filled plaza with her. "First , we need to go find Cyade so you two can have that battle." She said smiling , while slowly closing her eyes. (I wonder what she's doing.) "H-" "Hold up , I'm gonna try and find Cyade." She said interrupting me. (Geez , you could have at least told me before you did it jerk.)
"I found him! He's at the city's shore , chilling at the beach." She said opening her eyes and grabbing my arm. "Serah , before we do just know I'm only doing doing this for the sake of the team , nothing else." I said ,making quick eye contact with her. (I hope that shook off any suspension.) "Nikko , do you...like Cyade?" "Agh!(Crap, it only increased the suspension! I can feel my heart rate starting to rise , and my pads get all sweaty. I have to hit her with a comeback and now.) "~Blushing~ No! I already said I hate him didn't I , the reason it I've been saying things like that is because I didn't want you to jump to to conclusions!" I said in a mouthful, completely draining me of oxygen.
(Perfect , that had to have got her.) "O-oh , sorry about that , it's just for a moment I thought you actually LOVED Cyade." She said with a giggle. (Oh thank goodness.) "~Laughs~O-of course not ,I'm not gay or anything like that." I said snatching my arm away from her , and throwing them behind my back. "Oh...well , I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions." She said , looking a bit regretful. (What have I done? I gotta' fix this.) "Hey don't worry about it , let's just go and recruit Cyade before he changed his mind." Slowly her smile returned and claws went back to her hips. "Right'O , Nikko. Let's get to the beach!" She yelled suddenly turning around and running off with me behind towards the beach , which is just beyond the rocky path.
As we were walking down the rocky path to get to Zefera town's beach we crossed the leader another team from our guild : Team BDSM. (yeah ,I'm just as shocked , who names their team BDSM? Anyway… ) "Morning Serah ,and Nikko." The leader of Team BDSM, Cofagrigus (Nicknamed Gargos) said in that creepy voice of his. "G-good morning Gargos." We said in unison.(This guy really creeps me out… I wonder what he does to his guild members) "Where are you two off to?" He asked. "We're off to the beach to go play." Serah said in a cheerful tone. "Alright then , I won't hold you. Have fun , be safe, and don't let Nikko decide on what's good for your team Serah." He said, floating away. (Hmmp , my decision making isn't bad.) ("Actually… ") "Shut up , and get out of my head, Serah!" I yelled playfully , then ran off to the beach which slowly came into a better view.
Completely out of breath from running we fell in the decent felling sand and enjoyed the view of the ocean for a bit."Woah , Nikko check it out , the carnival is in town , how come we didn't see this from the guild?" Serah said amazed. (That's funny we should have saw that… ) "I don't really know… Anyway let's check it out later , I think I see Cyade over there under Grands Peak." I said pointing over there. "Oh you're right! Let's go." She said quickly standing and walking over to him while waving, I soon followed… But without the waving.
[Grands Peak : This the large cliff that the Infinity guild sits near on top of a hill, connected to Zefera town by a winding rocky path. Underneath Grands Peak lies a sand bed different from the rest of Zefera towns shores or beach if will, the sand is much finer , and is said to calm the rage of any pokemon nearly, instantly.]
"Cyade , you better stick you word!" I yelled , walking up to him , laying down in the sand with his eyes closed and a short skinny stick in his mouth. (I hate this cool guy wanna be.) . "Who the hell do you think you're talking to Nikko." He said slowly opening his eyes glaring at me. "I'm talking to you prick!" I yelled ,snatching the stick from his mouth. "Whoa, Nikko slow down." Serah said worried. "Serah , stay out of this. Nikko , If I beat you I'll join the team only as a constant reminder that I'm better than you in every way!" He yelled , suddenly standing and jumping my face like he's some sort of tough guy. (Geez , how can you be better than me when we're the same height ,, age , and strength , Idiot!)
"Please don't tell me that that was the only reason you're joining?" She said ,balling her hands together in a worried tone. "~Blushing~ N-no , I'm also gonna' join because I want to help you." He said nervously , looking over at Serah. A few seconds later his blush turned back into anger towards me. (WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? D-DOES HE LIKE SERAH!?) Out of pure instinct I suddenly threw a punch at him (T-That jerk! Oh crap he caught it.) I was quickly flipped on my back the stepped on. (Why doesn't it hurt as much as it should?)
"If you give up now you won't have to deal with this next part." He said , now standing completely over me. (I can't make this seem like I'm losing on purpose.) "Never!" I yelled , kicking him in the back , sending him off me into the sand above me. With that I activated my flame looplet and used bone rush. Instead of the usual blue bone of aura it changed into a flaming one. "Scared ,Cyade?" I said watching him stand. "I've seen better!" He then used flame claw and dashed at me. Using the bone rush I met his attack and tried to push it , but I didn't notice his other claw coming at me. "AGGH." (Damn , I should have saw that… Big brother would be so mad at me.)
As I was falling to the ground in pain, he grabbed me by the fur on my back and tossed me slightly in the air , seconds later he fire punched me to the ground ,and climbed on top of me. ~Blushing~ Wait , what are you doing!?" I yelled. (This is so… )
"About to end this battle!" He said activating steel claw and placing it extremely close to my neck. (NO! HE WOULDN'T KILL ME WOULD HE!?) "Cyade , that's far enough , he's lost!" Serah yelled. "...Yeah, you're right, he lost, didn't you Nikko?~Leaning in~" (You're lucky I'm doing this for Serah!) "Y-yeah , I lost… " I said a bit depressed. Even after that ,he didn't get off me until thirty seconds later. (What was the point of that?... And why did he give me that look again? It's like he was…)
"Nikko! Are you ok?"Serah said , running over to me with an Oran Berry. "I'm fine…" I said staring at the berry. "Hmmp… " Cyade said, looking back at me from the corner of his eye. (What was the point of all that? Whatever ,I shouldn't be worried about that , I should be celebrating the fact that we got a new member.) I slowly broke the Oran berry in half , and held one piece of it up to Cyade with a smile. "Here." He smiled slightly , however Before he could take it from me I quickly stood and ran away off back to the guild laughing. "Serves you right jerk!" I yelled running up the stone path (Serah's gonna be so mad at me later.) "NIKKO! THAT WAS A DICK MOVE." Cyade yelled , running after me with Serah behind. (For some reason this feels right… Kind of like something I wanted for a long now.) "Oh snap! (I just realized something!) It's still morninggg! I can't hide from him all day!"
~Nikko suddenly trips on a rock~
