Chapter Two: We do our first Quest(and almost die)

So, after having teamed up with Eevee, we decided we needed to do some quests so as to level up. Every person started as a Lv 5, just like starters in the old games. That meant I knew Scratch and Leer. But Eevee knew Helping Hands, Tackle, Growl and Sand Attack. Tackle, in this game, was more meant for heavy people, and Scratch just gave my sword strike that little extra oomph.

We went into town, searching for any NPC with a quest available. We found some guy with a basic quest, "Go get me five Oran Berries, blah blah blah." This quest sent us to the "Berry Fields," the most basic place ever. It was crawling with Pokemon like Bidoof and Sentret.

"How's about you go over there and search, and I'll take the right half of the field? We can both look for three berries, and keep an excess of one." Eevee suggested. It actually wasn't a bad idea.

"Alright, see you later, then." We split up, searching.

"And how bad an idea it was. A few minutes later, I was overrun by Bidoof, those little Beavers from Hell. I was slashing madly, and I already was on the verge of getting Lv 7, meaning I would learn Ember, which would be a real help. I had only found two berries, one as a drop, and another from a Berry Tree. Enemies always give something, whether it's money(in small sums), or an item, like maybe a sword or TM, or a berry.

My health was slowly ebbing away, but I noticed there were less beaver people, so I attacked with renewed force. Then a new foe emerged from the leftovers: a Bibarel, the Satan of all Beavers. "Oh, fuck me," I mutter, then strike it with Scratch, but it does nothing. And now it's pissed. It launches a Water Gun at me, sending me into a tree, nearly knocking me out. I struggle to get back up, as the Bibarel reads itself for another attack. Suddenly, the big oaf is sent flying.

"Ki-yah!" Shouts a Combusken, as it flies in with Double Kick. "Hey, man! You need some help?" He tosses me an Oran Berry, which I eat. I stand, feeling refreshed.

"Let's go kick this guys ass." I say, which makes the Combusken laugh and nod. We both advance on the Bibarel, who starts to look nervous. It tries blasting us with a Water Gun, but I, ready this time, so we jump to the side, and I go in for a stab, and Combusken finishes it off with a Double Kick. The Bibarel drops two Oran Berries, which we split.

"Hey, thanks for the help." I say with gratitude.

"Of course, man. We all need to band together, so we all can survive this hell hole. Say, I think that Bibarel gave you some serious EXP."

I check my EXP bar, and sure enough, I'm a Lv 10. "Sweet! Four more levels and I evolve."

The Combusken chuckles and extends a hand. "Pleasure to meet you. You playing as a lone wolf? Or are you splitting some work with another?"

I shake his hand, and boy, does he have a strong grip. "I'm splitting work. Well, I actually just finished up, so I'm going to head to the entrance."

"Mind if I tag along? I'm by myself."

"Yeah, man. Let's go." And with that, we got another fighter in the team. Combusken and I trudge back, killing any Bidoof in our path(mostly me, since I needed the EXP). We reach the entrance, and I don't see Eevee. I decide to use the "Phone" feature of the game to call her. It's mostly Face Timing, but whatever. It's a long while until she answers.

"Hey, Eevee, where are you?" I watch through the screen, and I see her sprinting.

"So many fucking Bidoof! I can't take them all! HELP ME, GOD DAMNIT!" She disconnects.

"Whelp, you ready to fight some more?" I ask Combusken.

He grins at me. "As ready as anyone can be." We bolt in the general direction that she went, and it takes some time before we find her. As I come up, I draw my sword and slash at a Bidoof, while Combusken starts kicking away.

"Eevee, we need your help to fight! So draw your sword and ATTACK!" I blast one in the face with Ember, and slash madly. Holy freakin' crap, did she find the Bidoof Housing or something?

She draws nervously, and swings at one, barely even hitting. "I'm too scared!" She stands, frozen. I jump in front of her as a Bidoof attempts to strike her, beheading the evil monster. "Look, if you don't help now, you never will! So come on, you can do it! So, JUST DO IT!"

She breathes heavily for a second, then practically flips her shit on those Bidoof. Left and right, Bidoof are falling to all of us. Soon, there are none left. I'm now level 13, Eevee is 14, and Combusken is 17.

"Whew, that was tough. Well, good job everyone!" I say. "Oh, by the way, Eevee, this is Combusken. Combusken, this is my friend, Eevee." They shake hands.

"Pleasure to meet you." Combusken says. "I saved your friends hide, and now we saved yours." He chuckles. "I guess this shows you that people need friends in this death-trap to survive. Now, do we have, like, a team house or something?"

"We just sleep in the motel, for now. Once we raise enough money, we plan on buying a place." I reply. "Let's go turn in this quest, and call it a day." We go back to the guy, and he gives us 600 PokeDollars, 200 each. We lead Combusken to the motel and pay for the night.

"Well, good night." I say, and go to my room and sleep.

Author's note: I said I would pump them out. Yeah, another teammate. Why not? I don't know what the hell I'm doing, so I get away with it. Any tips on how to make the story better would be greatly appreciated. I also have a poll open for what the First Floor Boss should be, so yeah!
