The figure, dark as the night sky above him, slipped past the huge, stone temple gateway. The floating shadow moved with a purpose that was unmistakable as he flew through the corridors of the pyramid-like structure. Soon the figure had reached the central room, a tall, spacious area with cave paintings from aeons ago spiralling across the walls. He began to draw patterns on the circular floor; patterns that looked like a continuation of the symbols on the walls. After he had finished drawing the figure floated backwards, muttering to himself.

"Eighty years, my lord. Eighty years you have waited, and I have searched...and tonight you will rise, and the darkness will spread once more," as the figure spoke the patterns on the walls and floor began to glow a deep red, "This world has remained peaceful for too long. Our old comrades are moving once more...after you fell, my lord, your armies retreated deep into the lands of snow, deeper then anyone has ever gone before...but now they are returning, running across the Great Glacier towards this land."

Then, suddenly a deeper voice spoke, coming from the room itself!

"You have done well, Darkrai. But what of the warriors who will defend this world? Who stands with them?"

"Only one, I believe. A pokemon named Wigglytuff , he is the strongest in this land, but his powers will be put to shame against yours."

"Excellent...I presume you know that this process of releasing me will take some time."

"As the one who discovered this ritual I do know of it's faults, but I have found a way to speed up the process."

"What is this...trick?"

"You will find out soon enough...ah, soon every being on this world will know that you have risen!"

The sea was calm underneath the ship, the waves small and the wind gentle. It was a beautiful night, or so Chazo thought. The Meowth's legs hung lazily over the edge of the boat, being gentle massaged by the night-time breeze.

"Captain," came a gruff voice from behind Chazo, "the ship, she is bearing north, is this acceptable?"

Chazo turned to see his best friend, Cam, behind him. Cam was a Croconaw, and a strong one. He was the most reliable member of Chazo's team.

"Yes, that's fine. We will soon arrive at Treasure Town, then the heist can begin. Come on, we need sleep, are you sure that the ship will stay on course?"

"Positive," replied Cam.

"Then let's hit the hay," replied Chazo cheerily.

It was morning, and Boogz was panicking. His cheeks kept discharging electricity at random intervals; a sign of nerves. He could now see Derry, standing at the crossroads.

"Hi mate," said Boogz nervously.

"Are you ok?" asked Derry.

"Yeah...I don't know about this any more...I mean I'm just a Pikachu, I'm bound to be rubbish at exploring..."

"I'm just a Treecko, but that's not stopping me."

At that moment they both looked up the stone steps before them, and saw Wigglytuff's Guild, standing tall and impressive against the bright sunlight.

Derry began to climb the stairs, "Come on!"

Reluctantly, Boogz followed his friend to the door of the Guild. They looked at each other, then walked inside. The moment they passed the threshold a Chatot dived out of nowhere and began to yell at them!

"You there! What do you two want? Huh? Huh?!"

Derry and Boogz both yelled, then Boogz stuttered, "Um...w-we would like to join your guild and become an exploration team...er...yes t-thats what we want to do..."

Chatot looked confused, "Hmm...well, why didn't ya say?! Follow me, hehe!" and with that he dived downwards through a hole in the floor.

Boogz and Derry followed, using a bamboo ladder as opposed to wings. While climbing down they caught a glimpse of the bulletin board room; green and pleasant. Soon they had reached the bottom floor. They were then beckoned into a huge room by Chatot...and in that room was...

Boogz gasped! "It's...it's...it's Wigglytuff! The famous explorer and guild leader! Mr. Wigglytuff, sir!"

"Oh hey," replied Wigglytuff, "friends? Explorers?"

"Explorers, sir," said Chatot.

"Explorers? But friendly friends too! What's your team name, friends?

"Err..." muttered Derry, his face showing confusion.

"Mr. Wigglytuff, sir," said Boogz confidently, "we are Team Heroes, sir!"

"We are?" inquired Derry.

"Excellent!" smiled Wigglytuff, "Oh, and you two: I like your attitude!"

That was all Boogz could take. He was nervously and crazily happy and now his idol had said that he liked his attitude! Boogz cheeks exploded electrocuting everyone in the room! As the smoke cleared and Wigglytuff's frazzled face came into view.

"S-sorry, W-wigglytuff sir..." groaned Boogz.
