Yo, everyone! Look at this! A non-Kingdom Hearts story by me! No way!…yeah! Anyways, I came up with this idea while playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness…yeah…I don't have Explorers of Sky. Yet. Should be getting it soon, though. I like the idea of the Pokémon being half-human and half-Pokémon. Like a human body but with Pokémon features. And I'm sure I'm not the first one to use this idea, so…yeah…

This story isn't based around just one of the Pokémon from the guild. It's about mostly all of them. POV will switch from one to the other…a lot…because I'm just weird that way.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon...if I did, they'd be real, and I'd open a Pokemon college for everyone to join....that'd be awesome!

Chapter 1

"You're nothing but a stupid, fire-breathing idiot!"

"Says the chaotic bitch!"

Pala sighed heavily, her round Persian ears twitching in annoyance. She stood up from her desk, brushed back her soft, light tan-colored hair that fell just past her shoulders, and proceeded toward the double doors to her office. Her long-sleeved, tan gown trailed behind her as she threw open the wooden doors.

Arguing outside of her office were the leaders of two of Pala's best exploration teams; Team Thorn, an all-boy Pokémon group, and Team Rose, an all-girl group. Team Thorn's leader was a Charizard boy. He had shaggy red-orange hair and black eyes. He wore a tan t-shirt under an orange jacket, orange pants, and tan sneakers. A pair of Charizard wings popped out of his back with a tail to match. His name was Caleb, and his fiery and playful personality made him very different from Team Rose's leader.

Team Rose's leader was an Umbreon girl. She had black hair that reached her mid-lower back and sharp red eyes. She was wearing a black t-shirt with a golden yellow zero in the middle under a long-sleeved black jacket, black jeans with the same golden yellow zeroes on the pockets, and black sneakers. Black Umbreon ears were an inch or two above her human ears with a matching Umbreon tail. The same golden yellow zero was on her forehead. Her name was Una, and with her quiet and menacing attitude, she tried to keep away from Caleb.

Pala touched the red gem on her forehead and sighed again, wondering when their feud would stop. "Caleb, Una." The two immediately stopped arguing and looked up at their guild mistress. Her red eyes stared them down. "You two are here to report to me, correct?" Without waiting for an answer, she turned and walked right back to her desk, the two leaders following her and closing the doors.

"Now," Pala started as she sat down, "without arguing, tell me what happened."

Una crossed her arms and blinked calmly. "Team Rose was on the brink of capturing the rogue Primeape. We had him cornered easily. We were all about to fire at him." She glared over at Caleb. "Until Team Thorn came along and ruined it!" She spat out the boy's team name like it was worthless. Which she probably thought it was.

"Team Thorn was exploring in Mt. Bristle when we saw the girls," Caleb explained. "We decided to help them capture the Primeape. But the girls got in our way when we tried to help." He narrowed his eyes at Una. "She just doesn't know how to let other people help. It's not our fault the Primeape got away."

"It is, too!" Una rounded on Caleb, her red eyes even sharper than before. "We were so close to capturing it! And then you just barged in and tried to play some kind of dimwitted hero!" Her Umbreon ears folded back as she snarled at him. "We don't need help from Team Thorn, alright?!"

Caleb smirked playfully. "Aww, what's wrong, Una? Do you hate being the damsel in distress?" He grinned as he added, "If you hate the role, stop playing it."

"That's it!" Una sprang at Caleb, but was flung away from him by Pala's Slash. "Stop it!" she growled at both of them. "You two fight more than a Zangoose and a Seviper!" Her eyes traveled toward her office doors. "Mirai! Artemull! Get in here!"

The double doors pushed open, and a Mismagius girl and Alakazam boy came through. Mirai, the Mismagius, had dark purple, shoulder-length hair and gleaming amber eyes. She wore a huge purple hat on her head, a knee-length purple dress under a longer, long-sleeved purple coat, purple ankle boots, and a necklace of red rubies. She walked over to Una and helped her up.

The Alakazam boy, Artemull, had short yellow-brown hair and calm brown eyes. He wore a long-sleeved brown shirt, yellow pants with brown kneepads, and brown sneakers. He immediately stood by Caleb's side, facing Pala with a calm demeanor.

Pala waited for Mirai to help Una up before facing them. "Mirai, Artemull, would you two like to explain what happened?"

Mirai nodded and looked at Artemull. He made a gesture with his hand to motion for her to go first. She gave another nod and looked at Pala. "Team Rose was pursuing the rogue Primeape when Team Thorn came in and offered their assistance. Then these two got into another famous argument." Artemull nodded in agreement.

Pala set her red eyes on the leaders. "So you two got into another fight and let the Primeape get away." She stood up and rounded her desk to stand in front of them. "What is it that makes you two fight so much?"

"He's an ass!"

"She's a bitch!"

Pala nodded, obviously angry. "You two really need to learn how to work like a team. More and more outlaws have been showing up in this region. We have no idea why. But it's up to us to capture them and bring them to justice. And you guys aren't helping at all!" She pointed to Caleb. "You. Stop making the girls mess up on their missions by giving them unneeded help." She then pointed at Una. "And you. Stop randomly attacking the boys. Am I clear?" The two leaders reluctantly nodded. "Good. You may leave."

The four Pokémon exited the guild mistress's office. Two more Pokémon stood outside, waiting for Caleb and Artemull. The first was a Swampert boy. He had spiky blue hair and orange eyes. He wore an orange t-shirt under a blue sleeveless, unzipped hoodie, blue jeans, and orange sneakers. A pair of blue sunglasses with orange lenses were on his head. His name was Sefil.

The other boy was a Staraptor named Stratos. His short hair was brown with the tips dyed white and his eyes were blue. He was wearing a white and brown t-shirt under a long, lighter brown coat, brown shorts, and white and brown sneakers. His Staraptor wings were folded against his back and he leaned against the wall as his leader appeared.

"What'd she say?" Sefil asked Caleb, getting up from where he sat on the floor. "The girls were blamed for it all, right?"

Caleb shrugged. "Nah. They got off easy. We did, too." He glanced over at Una, who was walking back to the Team Rose sleeping quarters. "None of this would have happened if they would've just accepted our help."

"We don't need help from you boys," Una growled, entering the Team Rose room and slamming the door. "We never will."

A Gardevoir girl greeted them. She was graceful and elegant with her green hair that reached just at the top of her shoulders and green eyes. Her long white halter dress with the slit up the side flowed behind her as she walked, her green slippers peeking from under the dress. "Una," she greeted her leader. "Ooh…you look angry." She took a step back.

Una shook her head and sat on her bed. "It's alright, Giselle. Team Thorn just really makes me mad." She peered past Giselle to a figure laying on the spare bed. "Giselle, what have you got there?"

Giselle stepped back and revealed a Ninetales girl. Her mid-back length white hair fanned out behind her as she slept. Her outfit consisted of an off-the-shoulder white sweater, white shorts, and white knee-high flat boots. Her Ninetales ears were seen on top of her head and all nine tails were flowing out behind her.

"I found her outside of the guild, injured," Giselle explained. "There were scratches on her legs and her arm was frozen in ice. I think she got attacked by some Grass and Ice Pokémon." She tilted her head in confusion. "I have no idea how she lost. She's a Fire Pokémon. She has a huge advantage against them." She smiled. "But she's healed now. We just have to wait until she's awake."

Una nodded and laid on her bed, her hands behind her head. "We're gonna have to do better next time. We'll go take down another outlaw tomorrow. A strong one. Then Pala will be proud of us." She closed her eyes. "And she'll see we're way better than Team Thorn will ever be."

Mirai adjusted her hat. "We already are better than those boys." She smiled reassuringly at her leader. "And you know it, Una. Don't let Caleb get to you." She sat on her bed and opened a purple book. "We're the greatest Pokémon exploration team out there!"

"Pokémon exploration team?" All three girls looked over to the spare bed. The Ninetales was awake, sitting up and staring at them with wide-eyes. "You guys are an exploration team? So I'm at the right place?"

Giselle nodded and glided over to her. "Yes, miss. You're at the Persian Guild. Lady Pala's guild?" She smiled. "We're Team Rose. I'm Giselle. That's Mirai, and our leader Una." She tilted her head. "What is your name?"

"Nikki." The Ninetales stretched and smiled up at Giselle. "Wow, I can't believe I actually made it here. It took forever!"

"What exactly happened to you?" Mirai asked, her eyes still on her book.

Nikki thought for a minute. "Well…I wanted to join an exploration team. So I traveled here and took a shortcut through a cave. I met up with some Grass and Ice Pokémon and they were strong…when I finally got here, I passed out." She blinked. "You guys are an exploration team…is there room to join?"

Giselle raised her eyebrows. "You want to join Team Rose?" Her eyes flitted over to Mirai, then Una. "Well, we are outnumbered with Team Thorn at four to three." She looked back over to Mirai. "What do you think, Mirai?"

Mirai took her eyes off of her book and stared right at Giselle. "I don't have a problem with it. She looks cool. We could use a Fire Pokémon in our group."

Both Mirai and Giselle looked over at Una. Her eyes were closed again and her breathing was even. For a minute, the girls thought she was asleep. But suddenly, Una spoke. "What moves do you know, Nikki?"

Nikki sat up straighter. "Quick Attack, Flamethrower, Iron Tail, and Fire Blast." She grinned. "I like my moves. They've helped me a lot."

Una's eyes remained closed. "You bring anything with you?"

Nikki sighed. "I had my red bag with me…but it might've gotten lost in the cave."

Giselle started and moved to her bed. She picked up a fiery red bag and brought it over to Nikki. "Is this it? It was by your side when I found you." She gave the bag to the Ninetales. "Is anything missing?"

Nikki sorted through her bag, then nodded, satisfied. "Nope. It's all there. My Berries, extra clothes, personal items…all accounted for!"

All three girls stared back over at Una. Her ears twitched slightly as she thought. Suddenly, her red eyes shot open and she stared right at Nikki. "One more thing," Una said darkly. "Are you willing to risk your life searching for treasure, bringing down outlaws, and, most importantly, doing anything to prove that we're better than the all-boy team known as Team Thorn?"

Nikki gave a sly smile. "An all-boy group? Please. Showing them up will be easy. Whoever these boys are, they'll be no match for us." She paused before saying, "The answer is yes."

Una gave a satisfied smirk. "Then you're in. Welcome to Team Rose."

Ok, I really want reviews. Please tell me how I did and if you hate it or not. I rather like it. The rivalry is just like the one in my story Careful. But they're Pokémon…yeah…

Oh, and here's how you pronounce the names. It's not that I don't believe you guys can actually pronounce the names. It's just that some of my friends couldn't say them right. So here are the pronunciations to the unusual names.

Una (You-nuh)

Mirai (Me-r-eye)

Artemull (Art-eh-muhl)

Sefil (Sefh-ill)

Stratos (Strah-tohs)

Please review for me! Thank you so much!
