There was no point in staying home, so I went to Treasure Town to talk to my best friend Wila. She was a Mareep and she was also part of Wigglytuff's guild. I have always wanted to be part of it, but I didn't have a partner. I was a young and shiny Eevee with way to much family. I had aunts and uncles of every eeveelution. My mom was an Espeon and my dad was an Umbreon. My favorite uncle was a Jolteon and he was married to a beautiful Glaceon. They had two children named Kiki and May. Both of them were girls and we got along okay, but they always fought with each other.

Wila and I planned to meet each other at the beach. I always loved it there. The Krabbys always blew bubbles that sparkled over the water and the Wingulls flew across the sun so that you could see the rays of the sun dripping down to the sand.

I was at the beach and already the breeze tousled my hair playfully, and the water lapped hungrily at my paws. Since Wila wasn't at the beach yet, I decided to go for a swim. I leaped into the salty water. The freezing ocean immediately drenched my silver fur.

I heard a cheery laugh coming from the beach. I looked up and Wila was sitting there like she had been waiting for a while. I jumped out of the water and ran towards her. I sat down next to her keeping my distance. Since I was drenched and she was electric, I don't want to think about what would happen if I touched her.

I greeted her with a cheeky smile and wide eyes. She looked at me crazily and said "You're a freak."

"What was your first clue?" I asked.

"Well, when I first met you, you glared at me then broke into a smile and ran around me in circles."

"Good times…" I said looking up. Then we both broke out laughing.

"You're lucky you are part of Wigglytuff's guild" I said changing the subject, "I really want to go exploring anytime I want."

"Well, if you really want to, my partner has a brother that wants to go too. You can be partners with him, but he is really stupid so that is why I didn't tell you earlier." Willa replied.

"I think I can handle him." I said. After all, he can't be that bad. "Where can I find him?"

"You can find him somewhere around Chansey's daycare. He is a very stupid but very powerful blue Shinx. You should be able to find him as he is the only one who has his own room. Just ask Chansey where he is. He got put there when his brother joined the guild." She said looking concerned.

"Maybe I can finally move out of Mystifying Forest." I said relieved. Wila was starting to look really guilty.

I'm going to go talk to him" I said running to the town daycare.

. . .

Chansey greeted me with a warm smile and a lot of talking.

"Now who did you say you were looking for dear?"

"A blue Shinx? His brother is part of the guild North of here." I said still a little uncertain.

"Oh, you mean Alec? I will show you to his room." She said smiling.

His room was moderate size and was painted blue, black, and yellow. Very original. Who would have thought about those colors for a Shinx? He had a blue bed that was close to the floor. I don't know why, but Shinx are always afraid of height. He was sleeping on his bed. He was so adorable. He was quite small with an unusual tuft of black fur behind his ears.

"Alec dear… WAKE UP! I'm sorry Charge, but he is very hard of hearing when he sleeps."

Alec slowly opened his eyes and jumped at the sight of me, "Who the fuck is in my room!?"

Chansey got a hard look in her eyes.

"Alec! Watch your language!" she dragged Alec by his ears into the bathroom. While I waited beside his bed I could hear the tortured screams that came from the mouth that cursed me out earlier. When they came back, Chansey was smiling and Alec looked like he was going to throw up. His mouth was all covered with soap bubbles. My mom had threatened to do this with me, but I never cursed again so she didn't get the chance.

Alec rubbed the rest of the bubbles off with his star-tipped tail. He started talking to me like the whole episode hadn't even happened.

"Hello. Who are you and why are you in my room?" He said. Chansey had already left the room and he pulled out a few poffins from under his pillow. "Do you want one?"

"Sure." I said. I took a poffin from his paw. "My name is Charge and I was wondering if you would like to start an exploration team with me." I bit into the poffin and almost spit it back out.

"Why the heck is this stale!? How can he eat these? This is just disgusting. I just had to suck it up and eat it. The food is probably going to be way worse at the guild."I thought.

"Well since I want to get out of this hellhole…Of course I'll go with you!" He almost yelled. He quickly looked around him as if Chansey could possibly hear him from the lobby. Then he started trying to pack his items into his bed sheet. For the first time in a Shinx I saw his eyes flash a beautiful blue and silver.

"What happened to your eyes?" I asked.

"Oh, they do that when I'm excited." replied Alec, who was still trying to get everything to stay in the makeshift bag.

"Oh." I replied.

We had to go through Mystifying Forest to get my stuff. I lived on the seventh floor in a huge tree. Since the layout always changed, it was hard to find, but I had gotten used to it because I had to travel to Treasure Town a lot to see Willa.

I was surprised by how powerful Alec was. He was only at level seven and he knew Discharge, Spark, Thunder Fang, and Night Slash. I have no idea how he knows those moves since he is only at level 11. He survived my home land without a scratch, and I only happened to survive because I have lived here my whole life and everybody knows my seeing as there is only one Eevee family there. I am at level 15 and I know Iron Tail, Quick Attack, Curse, and Bite.

After a few Pokemon got KO'd they started talking to him like he was their friend. Typical Mystifying Forest residents.

"So, you come from Treasure Town?" asked my psychic mom. Wait a minute…Doesn't she already know that. Why is she asking? She is probably just being nice…but, she usually isn't nice to others who beat up her friends…

"Yes. Charge and I are going to join the Guild there." said Alec.

"Well, keep her safe." My dad warned, "You shall die if she comes home crying."

"Umm… Dad? He isn't taking me on a date… we are just joining the guild." I barely made out holding back laughter.

"Oh, then, welcome to the family!" Dad suddenly cheering up.

"He still isn't dating me Dad." I repeated, letting my laughter tumble out of my mouth.

"Good for you. You are going to need a lot of apples to start out with. We stashed some apples and gummis inside. I'll go get them." Dad explained. He turned around and walked into our oak door.

"Well that was weird…" Alec muttered oblivious to my dad's words, "They didn't have any stale poffins… And he thought I was dating her!" Wow. He's a fast one.

Dad came back out with the gummis and apples. Wait a minute… did he seriously bring out a stale poffin!? Mom must have contacted him using her telepathy. Just than my adorable little sister came out.

"Are you honestly joining the guild?" She asked with wide eyes. She was not shiny like me; she was just a regular Eevee. Her name was Evaline. We just called her Eva for short.

"Of course I am, Eva!" I answered, "Just promise you, Mom, and Dad will come visit me all the time." I would really miss her. She was the only one who could bring out the child in me. She made me play a game with her where we would walk around the forest pretending we were famous explorers. She was the one who made me want to join the guild in the first place.

"Okay." She sniffled. She hugged me goodbye and so did my parents. Then we were off.

"We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz." sang Alec. I just stared at him. Nobody bothered us on the way home. He had already proved that he could beat all their asses despite his idiotness.

After what seemed like forever, we were finally in front of Wigglytuff's Guild. I was shaking in my fur. Alec looked terrified, so I stepped up first.

"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected! Whose footprint? Whose footprint? The foot print is Eevee's! The footprint is Eevee's!" Shouted a voice from below, "Who is with you? Who is with you?"

"Okay, time for you to step up Alec." I said. He stepped up to the grate looking confused.

"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected! Whose footprint? Whose footprint? The footprint is Shinx's! The footprint is Shinx's! You don't seem bad. Come on in!" shouted the same voice.

For the first time, I stepped into the place that I had always dreamed of entering.
