When we stepped into the now-open gateway, I couldn't speak. On the inside, we were in a small room with a yellow ladder going down into a bright room. Alec and I climbed down into the bright room. Surprisingly, there was grass there. There was a huge window on the side of the wall that was most likely the source of the light. We were greeted by a cheery, bird-like pokemon. I immediately didn't like him.
"Hello, my name is Chatot. I am the brains for the guild and also Wigglytuff's right hand pokemon. If you are here to Join the guild and become an apprentice than welcome! If you're here to try to sell us stuff interview us, or try to tell us that our guild isn't 'healthy enough for apprentices' you can leave now." Chatot challenged.
"We're here to join the guild." I said cautiously. For some reason, I didn't want to get on this one's bad side.
"Good choice." He looked suspicious. He led us down one more floor and to a room near the back. We were greeted by a pink Wigglytuff who acted like there wasn't anything wrong with time. We would learn only later that time could get much worse.
"Friendly Friends! Yay! Friendly Friends want join our guild, Chatot!" Wigglytuff said turning to Chatot. Chatot muttered something under his breath that sounded like "Who doesn't?"
Wigglytuff handed us our starter kit and watched expectantly as we opened it. The first thing that came out was our Wonder Map. The other things we found in there were our badge and room key. In our treasure bag, there were two bandanas. One was yellow and another was a purple that was the exact same color as my eyes. I quickly grabbed the purple one from the ground.
"Haha you snooze you lose." Alec teased, dangling his yellow bandana from his paw, not making any sense since I was pretty happy with my bandana. I tied my bandana around my right ear, and Alec tied his around his tail. An apple, an oran berry, a White Gummi, and a Yellow Gummi fell out. I gave the Yellow Gummi to Alec and kept the white one for myself.
Wigglytuff seemed satisfied. Chatot was pretty quick to dismiss us. He kept shoving us out the door and then slammed the door in our faces.
Alec didn't seem to mind at all. We ran to our room. Our room was right next to the room at the end. Should be easy enough to remember. After we dropped off all of our stuff, we went out into the commons to meet the other apprentices.
"You finally joined!" Wila said cheerfully, "I would like to introduce you to Spark, my partner." Spark was a Shinx. He was shiny like me, and had a smart looking face. It's hard to explain. He looked nice and smart at the same time.
"Well hello. How did you and Wila meet in the first place since you guys live in different places?" Spark asked.
"Well I was visiting my uncle, who is a Jolteon." I explained.
"Oh. " Spark said
Just then, a Skitty scampered up and sized up Alec. She got a weird look on her face and then turned to me.
"Since I don't see you as a threat, I won't try to fight with you over…" She glared at Alec, "Whoever he is."
"Ummm…Thanks?" I said confused.
"You're welcome! You know the popularity rules right?" She asked.
"Umm…What?" I said still confused.
She sighed. Then she handed me a piece of paper and walked off.
The paper was all covered in lip marks and signatures of Charm and another signature I think said Pecha. The paper was a list of very unreasonable rules.
You will always let me speak first.
Never question me.
If there is a new recruit, always move out of my way when I come over to judge them.
If I am picking on somebody, don't get in the way (I know how you work. You would rather get picked on than somebody else yadda, yadda, yadda. So if you break this rule, than I will just torture them more J)
If I say you aren't a threat, that means it's possible to get on my good side, but feel free to take that as an insult.
I always get whatever I want.
I will add onto this as needed.
Team Heart:
Charm, and Pecha
"Charm is the Skitty that was so kind as to introduce herself." Said Spark.
"Well than, who's Pecha?" I asked
Just then the dinner bell rang and nobody had the chance to answer my question. Everybody knew where to sit except for Charm, who was flitting from seat to seat flirting with all the jocks and hotties. I didn't see any Pecha around.
We ate our dinner like we would never eat again. It wasn't actually that bad compared to what I thought it would. It mainly consisted of apples and Gummis. Charm found her way over to us and talked to us like she was our best friend.
"See that team over there? Well they're Mist and Luster, a.k.a Team Skyline. They're the legendary Latios and Latias. I hate them. I'm giving the assignment to Charge and Alec to keep them away from me. What is your team name, hon?" this isn't what I was expecting.
"Team Galaxy." I answered.
"Cool name! Ours is Team Heart, but unfortunately Pecha is sick." She got a sad look on her face.
We went back to our room. It would be the first night we spent at the guild. I wanted to get a good night's sleep for the first impression we would have to make at the guild tomorrow. Of course, Alec was trying to talk to me.
"Do you want a poffin? I only have two more." He asked.
"NO! GO TO SLEEP!" I yelled.
I had almost nodded off to sleep when he said, "I'm thinking of an animal. It lives near the ocean."
"That's nice. Now go to sleep." I said.
"Guess first."
"Krabby."
"Yes."
Alec wouldn't stop talking so I nodded off to sleep to his blabbering.
''GET OUT OF BED! YOU HAVE BEEN IN THERE FOREVER!" shouted an unknown source. A purple pokemon came in with a body that was made out of a mouth. We had met him yesterday at dinner. He was the one everybody called Loudred. We stumbled out of bed and walked out to the commons. Charm flashed me a snobby smirk, and Pecha was still nowhere to be seen. Maybe Pecha wasn't really sick. Chatot gave us evil glares and carried on.
"ONE, DON'T SHIRK WORK! TWO, RUN AWAY AND PAY! THREE, SMILES GO FOR MILES!" everyone yelled.
"Okay, everybody! Time to get to work!" Chatot announced.
"HOORAY!" everybody yelled. Everybody scattered to do various jobs. As we wandered off, Chatot called us back.
"Where are you two going?" as we stared giving him dumb glances, he hopped towards the ladder.
"Well, don't just stand there! Follow me." Chatot ordered.
"Stranger danger." Alec mumbled under his breath. We followed him up the ladder and to the left side of the room. Chatot showed us a bulletin board with a list of requests posted on. He picked off the easiest and most boring job and handed it to Alec. Alec took it from him and stared at it blankly.
"You really don't know how to read Alec?" I turned from him and turned it the right way, since Alec had it upside down.
Help! I need to deliver a letter to someone, but she lives at the bottom of Beach Cave!
If you deliver the letter, I will give the most generous of rewards!
All you need to do is deliver the letter I have to Shellos.
Phanphy
"Really?" I said, "Do we really have to deliver a letter that somebody else is too lazy to walk down five floors?"
"Well, yes. In order to weed out the teams who aren't willing to do the boring work, this is what it has come to. Just do those jobs, you will be rewarded and you will also get to go on the expeditions and other fun things." He replied.
I sighed. "Come on Alec." I turned and climbed up the ladders and walked out the door. We walked down to the beach where Wila and I had our visit a few days ago. We walked into the cave and quickly scouted all five floors and the pit, where we met Shellos. We were sent back to the guild. The sad thing is that we didn't even earn a lot of experience points.
When we were in front of Phanphy, he was ecstatic.
"You guys made it! I am so grateful! Please except these items as a reward." He gave us a reviver seed, a gray gummi, and a max elixir. "Oh, I'm so sorry I can't give you more, but this is all the Poke I have right now." He gave us 3000 Poke.
"Oh my gosh we're rich, Alec! I can't believe we are rich. After only one mission! Just imagine how rich we'll be after doing missions like these every day!" I shrieked. Chatot stood in the corner until Phanphy left.
"Now, hand over the money. Since most of it belongs to the guild, you only get so much of it." Chatot said, hopping out of the corner.
"Okay!" Alec said and handed over the money like he wasn't handing over his life. I sat there with an unbelieving look on my face. How could they just take most of our money? It wasn't them that did the work!
Chatot handed back 300 out of the 3000 poke we deserved. He dismissed us for the rest of the day. We headed to the commons area to talk to the other teams. The good thing was that Team Heart wasn't there. Team Skyline was the first team in sight so we just went up to them to talk.
"Hello." said the Latios, "my name is Luster. My sister's name is Mist."
"So, Team Heart told us you were the legendary Latios and Latias." Alec said
"Yeah, we are known by many pokemon because our parents are helpers in time and space. We joined the guild because we kept getting in the way. Now who are you?" Mist asked.
"I'm Charge, and this is my partner, Alec. We're Team Galaxy."
"Well, it's nice to meet you. How are you handling Team Heart?" she said.
"Well, Charm ordered us to keep you guys away from them, so just stay away from them." Alec said, not thinking of being nice about it.
Luster snorted, "Like we would go anywhere near those two bitches."
Just then, Chimeco came out and rang the dinner bell. After not doing all that much work, I never would have thought that I would be hungry, but both mine and Alec's stomach growled on our way to the mess hall. After dinner, we went to bed. I once again fell asleep to Alec's blabbering.
The next morning, I met Team Heart's other half. She was a Clefairy, and I was right. She hadn't been sick. It turns out that she was going on a two-day date with an Abra. They had gone to a place called Brine Cave where they had done things that no 10 year olds should do. Charm was jealous about Pecha going with her boyfriend while she had to stay at the guild, but she had stuck to her promise and told everybody that she was sick.
When Chatot heard about this, he was pissed (I have grown a more dirty vocabulary from being around Alec). He wouldn't let them eat dinner, made them take all the jobs nobody else wanted to take, and wouldn't let them keep any of the rewards. He put them under some sort of house arrest where a Pokemon named Sunflora had to room with them and make sure they aren't doing anything bad. Sunflora wasn't pleased by this and had her own roommate, Chimeco, help babysit.
Charm had tried to use attract on all of us, so Chatot past around health seeds to all of the males so they could keep from being infatuated. Alec was having a hard time with that one. He immediately swallowed the health seed. After a few more tries, he figured out that he had to keep chewing until he was out of earshot of Charm.
We finished a few jobs today, and then went to dinner. At dinner, everybody was talking about evolution. We would normally go to Luminous Spring to evolve, but recently it stopped working. Most everybody only needed to level up. Others needed items. I was one of those that needed items. Evolution for an Eevee is one of the biggest choices in their life. An Eevee can evolve into seven different forms with different elemental powers. There was Umbreon: Dark, Espeon: Light, Vaporeon: Water, Flareon: Fire, Jolteon: Electric, Glaceon: Ice, and Leafeon: Grass. There might be more but they are yet to be discovered. You can't be near your rival for long periods of time, but since Umbreon and Espeon aren't exactly rivals, they can be together.
There were some pokemon who had to go through two evolutions like Alec and Wila. Everybody seemed really excited about evolving. We all went to bed with a smile on our faces. Team Spark came to our room for a game of truth or dare.
"Charge, Truth or Dare?" Wila asked starting the game.
"Dare." I said.
"I dare you to go wake up Chatot, then run back here as fast as you can."
"Ok." Yay. An excuse to piss Chatot off.
I sneeked out of the room and out to the commons. I reflexively looked both ways. I came face to face with a wide-eyed Wigglytuff. I screamed. He then snored and I knew he was asleep. While my adrenaline was racing, I ran all the way up the two ladders without getting exhausted.
I found Chatot sleeping soundly on the top of the ladder. I threw a small rock at him. He woke up quickly. I barely had enough time to jump down. I'm assuming Chatot went back to sleep because he didn't look down. I quickly went back to my group and we laughed it off. Alec and I soon went back to our dorm to go to sleep. I once again fell asleep to his babbling.
A/N: Well hello there! I was hoping to do a story that interacted with Keyla 05's story: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Mystery Star. Some of the things i write, like in the next chapter, Team Galaxy will see Rezi and Charge will have a dream about Starlette.
