It was sunset with Fub and Ribbon in front of the Wigglytuff statue. "This is Wigglytuff's Guild. To form an exploration team, you need to register your team here. Then you have to train until you become a first-rank exploration team. Isn't there just something a little odd about this place?" said Fub. "No, I have to be brave," he said, stepping onto the grate."Pokémon detected! Pokémon detected!" said a familiar voice. "Whose footprint?! Whose footprint?!" said another voice from before. "The footprint is Piplup's! The footprint is Piplup's!" said the first voice. "Waah!" said Fub continuing, "No, I have to be strong." "You may ENTER!" said the first voice continuing, "Someone's with you! So get that stranger to stand up THERE!"
"They probably meant you Ribbon, they said to stand up here," said Fub. Ribbon was debating on whether the grate is safe or not until the first voice said, "Hey you! Stranger! Get on the GRATE!" Ribbon stepped onto the grate with the first voice saying, "Pokémon detected! Pokémon detected!" The second voice followed, "Whose footprint?! Whose footprint?!"
"The footprint is ... The footprint is ... Um ..."
"What's the matter?! Sentry! Sentry! What's wrong sentry Diglett?!
"Ummm ... Er ... Ummm ... The footprint is ... Maybe Eevee's! Maybe Eevee's!"
"What?! MAYBE?!"
"B-but ... it's not a footprint you normally see around here ..."
"Ugh! That's pretty crummy! Checking the footprints of visiting Pokémon ... That's your job! ISN'T it Diglett?!"
"Yes, but ... I don't know what I don't know."
"What? Are they arguing?" asked Fub. "... Sorry to make you WAIT," said the second voice continuing, "Well it is TRUE that you don't see any Eevee in these parts, but you don't seem to be bad. OK, good enough. ENTER!" The gate started to open. "I'm so nervous. So jittery, but I'm glad we're finally allowed in," said Fub continuing, "OK, let's go in," as they went inside.
They went down the hatch, to the second floor with Fub saying, "Wow, so this is Wigglytuff's Guild. So many Pokémon, I wonder if they're all in exploration teams." "Excuse me! It was two that just came in, right?" said a voice that turned out to be Chatot. "Yes!" answered Fub.
"I'm Chatot! I'm the Pokémon in the know around these parts! I am Guildmaster Wiggltuff's right-hand Pokémon! Now shoo! Leave the premises! We have no time for salespeople or silly surveys. Off you go, if you please!" said Chatot.
"N-no! That's not why we're here! We want to form an exploration team ... That's why we came. We want to be trained as an exploration team."
"W-what?! Exploration team? It's rare to see a kid like this want to apprentice at the guild. Especially how hard our training is. Surely the steady stream of Pokémon that run away from rigorous training proves how true that is!"
"Excuse me. Is the exploration team training that severe?"
"What? Well ... no! No, no, no! It's not teue in the slightest! Our training program for exploration teams is as easy as can be! Well, well, well! I wish that you has told me up front that you wanted to be an exploration team!"
"His attitude suddenly changed, didn't it?"
"OK! Let's get your team signed up right away! Follow me!"
Chatot went to go downstairs and stopped to remind Fub and Ribbon to follow him to the second underground floor at where you can still see outside. "Now here we are at Guildmaster Wigglytuff's chamber!" said Chatot coninuing, "On no account ... I repeat, on no account should you be discourteous to our Guldmaster. Guildmaster! It's Chatot! I'm coming in!" as they go to the Guildmaster's chamber saying, "Guildmaster! I present to you two Pokémon who wish to join our guild as apprentices. Guildmaster ... um ... Guildmaster?" The Wigglytuff turned around and said in a happy voice, "Hiya! I'm Wigglytuff! I'm the guild's Guildmaster. You want to form an exploration team? Then, let's go for it! First, we must register your exploration team name! So tell me your team's name!"
"Oh? Our team's name?" asked Piplup. "We didn't think of that, but our team name will be Poképals." Ribbon smacked her head on the ground for as a facepalm. "All right then, I'll register your team name as Poképals. Registering! Registering! All registered. Yoom-Tah! Congratulations! From noe on, you're an official exploration team! I present you with this is in comemoration!" said Wigglytuff setting diwn a box for the team kit. It had so many important things in it as well to use during explorations.
It was badically done with the meeting so Chatot showed Fub and Ribbon to their room telling them to go to sleep early, because they would be busy tomorrow. It took many hours until it went to night where Fub asked "Oh are you still awake Ribbon?" "Yes," said Ribbon with her body still sore from the Zubat's tackle.
"My heart's been racing all day today over every little thing ... But I'm glad I finally made myself come here and it was all thanks to you for helping me get back my treasure."
Ribbon had fell asleep by then with Fub soon following since it was getting late. The next morning, "HEY! HEY THERE! RISE AND SHINE!" said a loud voice that hurt Ribbon and Fub's ears. "Ugh," said Ribbon. (What a ridiculously loud voice. It almost blasted my eardrums) thought Ribbon. "Why are you still ASLEEP?! WAKE UP!" said the Loudred. "Ugh," said Ribbon and Fub. "M-my poor ears," said Fub.
"C'mon! Snap out of it! I'm Loudred! And I'm a fellow apprentice! You're going to be late rookies!"
The Loudred left to the meeting as Fub jolted right up to remember that it was the first day and they would be late. Ribbon ran off to the meeting with Fub tagging along. "You're late ROOKIES!" said Loudred. "Hush, you're voice is ridiculously loud!" said Chatot. "Humph," was what the Loudred said back.
"Everyone seems to be present. Very well, let's conduct our morning address. Guildmaster! The guild is in full attendance!" said Chatot as a sleep walking Wigglytuff went out the door. "Thank you, Guildmaster! Please adress our crew." Wigglytuff responded in z's and snores with most of the apprentices talking about the Guildmaster sleeping and after the adress, everyone went to work their parts with Fub and Ribbon needing to do a mission to bring back a Spoink's gem that dropped from his head at B7.
Fub wasn't pleased about it as he got angry at Chatot, because of finding a lost item with this being Ribbon's least expection of Fub. Chatot also got mad at Fub, at where apparently Fub went quiet in fear as Chatot left also talking about if either Ribbon or Fub faint in the dungeon, they will fail the mission and lose half of their money and items. It took up to B7 a long while, Ribbon felt as if she was going to faint and Fub was severely injured from too many Shellos attacks. "Hi," said a voice that came to the two as it was a Surskit. "You two seem tired." The Surskit saw the exploration bag that Ribbon had on her and asked, "Are you two explorers? What are your names?" "Yes we are explorers, my name is Fub and this Eevee is Ribbon," answered Fub. "Hi," said Ribbon.
"My name is Jazzy," said the Surskit. "I have to go, maybe we can see each other again." Thus opening a space for Ribbon and Fub to explore at where it had Spoink's gem with a note on top saying, "Don't touch this unless you lost it." They took the gem and went out the dungeon to see that Spoink was happy to get his gem back as he the Ribbon and Fub, 2,000 P, being reduced to 200, since the amount left goes to Guildmaster Wigglytuff. Fub was disappointed, but happy that he helped someone and felt good about it after dinner was made by Chimecho at where it was night again as Fub and Ribbon went to sleep for the next day.
