It was early morning, the town was just beginning to wake up. Judging by the sun, it was seven 'o clock, there was a warm, fluffy summer breeze blowing over the town, relaxing anyone in it's wake. On the other side of town stood a very big building, it could've easily been mistaken for the town hall if not for the sign out front that read, "The Skarmory Guild; Let Your Courage Soar." And not too far from this building stood a small, fox-like Pokemon.

"Uhg..." It groaned in frustration, a clear feminine ring to it- her voice. "Come on, go knock on the door! Is that too hard?!"

"Well, it clearly is for you." Someone mocked. The Eevee turned around to see a Gothorita and Deino standing behind her, the Deino was carrying a small bag sealed shut with the symbol of the Skarmory Guild. "Even after all of these years, you're still too much of a coward to just knock on the door." With that, the Gothorita walked inside, a swagger in her step, the Deino lagged behind.

"Don't listen to her, Cloe." He said, nudging her. "She's still furious that you beat her in a battle~"

"But... she's right, I can battle just fine, but I'm a coward..." Cloe's ears drooped. At this point, the Deino seemed to have a plan.

"Ya know what," he said, smiling. "Come on, I'll introduce you to the Guild Master!" Before she had a chance to reply, he grabbed her tail with his mouth, being careful not to hurt her as he dragged her inside the building.

"Drake!" She screamed in protest as her paws tried getting a hold on the ground. "I so do not approve! Let me go!"

"Ull van ee ater!"

As the two made their way through the guild, they got some pretty weird looks and through the whole thing Cloe was in a state of half wonder and half terrified.

"Ere ve ahh~" Drake mumbled through her tail as he knocked on the door.

"Enter!" Someone screeched from the other side. Drake pushed open the door, revealing a fairly small room holding a perch, a desk and several bookshelves, the shelves probably blocked the windows, so there were torches lit around the perimeter of the room. At one of the bookshelves stood a silver bird, the armor protecting him made him look elegant yet terrifying at the same time. "Drake, how many times have I told you not to bring criminals you've captured into my office?" The Deino closed the door and let go of the Eevee's tail.

"About sixty times~" He chimed, "but, she's not a criminal, she's a friend seeking admission into the guild~"

At this, the bird seemed to perk up. He took his gaze away from the bookshelf and began examining the Eevee, Cloe was trying her best to stay calm, but it was easy to tell that she was scared. The Skarmory was taking mental notes of her. 'Seems healthy, it's clear that she takes care of herself. She's seen a few fights, but she seems to be timid, we can fix that...'

"Well," the Skarmory said, giving a grin... or as much of a grin as a bird could. "I see a few flaws, but it's nothing we can't fix in time~" He hopped over to the Eevee who was beaming. "But I want to ask you a question. Why do you want to join? Remember, there is no wrong answer."

She sat there for a minute, pondering. "I..." She mumbled, "I want to see the world and help Pokemon, like my mom and dad."

The old bird couldn't help but smile at this. "I see... Ya know, once you get over your timidness, I can see a fire in your eyes that not many others possess." He hopped over to his desk and opened a drawer, pulling out a bag. "I'm sure you know an official bag when you see one." Cloe nodded, her heart was beating like a drum. But he put the bag back in the drawer. "I almost forgot, we don't allow single teams, and no teams are open to accept new members... This is bad..."

Cloe's ears drooped as the Guild Master shuffled through papers and a book. As he was reading the book, he stopped on a page and smiled. "Wait! It says here that if on the day you apply you don't have a partner, you have until midnight to find a partner, otherwise, you are declined and must wait two months before applying again..."

"Who wrote this book?" Cloe asked.

"It was written by the Guild Council themselves, probably as a loophole for those without prior knowledge of the partner concept." He continued reading. "And it looks like the two have to take an exam... Usually, we just accept applicants, but in your case, Eevee, you have to take an exam with your partner to show that you trust each other..."

"So, I have two choices? Either wait two months, or go out and find a partner and take a test?" Cloe asked.

"Pretty much. It shouldn't be too difficult finding a partner, you have friends who wanna join a team, right?" At this question, Cloe just looked at the ground, embarrassed.

"I... um... don't really have too many friends..."

The metal bird stared at her for a bit, a frown prominent on his face. This was not good; he glanced at a clock on his wall, the current time was nine 'o clock on the dot. "Then I guess that you'd best make some friends. And fast." Without further instruction she ran out of the room, as soon as she was gone Drake gave a sideways glance at his Guild Master.

"Sir," he mumbled. "I've read that book, I remember every word in it. There's no article in there that says that..."

The Skarmory sighed, giving a slight grin. "I know, but it gave her motive and hope to join, didn't it...?"

Drake turned to the door. "You have a weird way of running things... Guess that's what I like about this place..." On that note, the Deino exited the office, heading off to the mission board, where his partner most likely was.
