Chapter 2: A new member and Team Skull.
Narrator: In the previous chapter we saw what happened in the future and Time Stream and while Leaf the Leafeon met Grovyle and Sheila, now an Eevee, Eva the Eevee and Ray the Riolu found to the beach the dead body of a Ninetales and an egg, and decided to take care of the egg and the cub that will be born from until they found at least the father of the unborn child.
Wigglytuff's Guild, after Eva and Ray buried the Ninetales.
After they gave a small burial to the Ninetales, while Ray also took, unnoticed from Eva, the Ninetales's necklace, deciding it was right for the Vulpix to have at least something to remind to the soon to be cub of her mother, they left to go back to the Guild, bringing with them the Vulpix's egg.
When they arrived, the door still being open to let them inside and that Ray closed, that the other Guild members were eating but none of the other two were hungry after what happened and they know that to fill in to Wigglytuff and Chatot about why they took so much to return back to the Guild, they needed to wait until dinner was over.
The two went to their room and Eva, being also tired, curled around the egg to keep it warm and fell asleep, leaving Ray to explain what happened to the Guildmaster and Chatot.
Ray looked up from the sleeping Eevee when he heard the other Guild members going to their rooms followed by Chatot and Wigglytuff entering their room to check if the two Pokemon had returned to their room while they were eating and when they first saw the Emanation Pokemon and the Evolution Pokemon and were on the point to say something when they saw the egg, that they noticed was of the colours of a Vulpix.
"What is an egg doing here?" Chatot asked to the Emanation Pokemon.
Ray sighed, knowing that since Eva was sleeping, he would have to explain the whole thing to them alone.
So he told them about how they found the egg and the dead body of the Ninetales to when they buried the Fox Pokemon's burial and their decision to keep the egg and to raise the cub that will born from it until they would find a relative of the cub that will take care of it.
"This is all." Ray said to the end to the two Pokemon.
Silence followed his tale, but to the end the Music Note Pokemon spoke.
"Are you sure this would be a good idea?" he asked.
"I asked the same to Eva, since it had been her idea to take her in." Ray told him. "She had a point. Chansey's Daycare won't be open for this week and if the cub will hatch from it before Chansey will reopen her Daycare, she would be alone. So that's why we have decided to take her in until we could find a relative of the cub."
"It won't be easy, you know that, don't you?" Wigglytuff asked.
"We know it won't." Ray confirmed. "But we have to give a try, it's the least we can do."
The two Pokemon nodded.
"Well, I suggest you try and rest, since tomorrow you'll have also to do the missions." the Music Note Pokemon.
The Emanation Pokemon nodded, even if he knew that it would be a miracle for him to fall asleep, like Eva, and with that the two Pokemon walked out of the room.
As they left, he was then worried about the cub's safety, and decided to check if it was alright by using his aura and also see what gender it was.
He closed his eyes and checked the aura coming from the egg, and he sensed that the child was alright and that the Pokemon that will be born from it was a female.
He had now regretted one thing, to not have known the Ninetales's name because it would had been nice for the cub to bring her mother's name.
With all these thoughts, he went to his bed, laid down and slowly fell asleep.
Next morning.
Everything was calm and peaceful in Team Daylight's room, the two occupants, minus the egg, were sleeping but their peaceful dreams would be interrupted soon thanks to the wake up call of their Guild Member, Loudred.
"UP AND..." Eva and Ray heard Big Voice's loud voice stop. "It's that an EGG?"
Ray and Eva jolted up hearing the word 'egg', their minds still cloudy, but then seeing the Vulpix egg they calmed down.
"You lay a...?"
"No, Loudred." Ray interrupted. "We'll explain you and the rest of the Guild after the morning cheers."
"Okay."
Loudred looked hesitant but nodded and the trio left the room.
After the morning cheers...
"Good, everyone!" Chatot sang. "Let's go to work."
"YES!" everyone, a Diglett, a Corphish, a Croagunk, a Dugtrio, a Chimecho, a Bidoof, a Sunflora, Loudred, a Snivy, a Chimchar, a Poochyena, Ray and Eva cheered.
While the others left, Chatot went to Ray and Eva.
"Hey, you two!" he said. "Before you two go, go and check the Vulpix's egg, to be sure it's not giving signs of hatching, okay?"
"Yes!" Ray and Eva said.
Chatot left the two to go to Wigglituff's room to talk to him and left Team Daylight alone.
The two were about to head toward their room when they noticed that the others, minus the Poochyena, Snivy and Chimchar, were watching them.
Ray and Eva both sighed, thinking how fast Loudred told the news, and then gestured to follow them.
In their room.
The two Pokemon had showed them the Vulpix's egg and told their fellow members what happened yesterday to the beach.
"Shock!" Sunflora said. "I can't believe it."
"It's true Sunflora." Eva said while her tail was wrapped around the egg. "We found the Ninetales's dead body and the egg, at sunset, at the beach."
"Ehi, ehi! Why no one noticed them before?" Corphish asked.
"Well, you know that the beach isn't very frequented in these days." Diglett replied.
"Yup, yup!" Bidoof confirmed.
"Well, WHAT will you do with it?" Loudred asked.
"Simple." Ray said. "We're going to take care of the egg and when it hatches of the cub."
Eva nodded.
"We'll help you." Loudred said.
The other nodded.
"Thank you." Ray and Eva said together.
"No problem!"
Everyone then got up and started to leave the room to go and do their jobs when Chimecho stopped and turned to them.
"Ah, Eva! Ray!" she said. "Come with me."
She left and Eva and Ray, after looking at each other, followed her.
At the Guild's first floor.
The two Pokemon followed the Wind Chim Pokemon to the first floor of the Guild and then to a place, near the Wanted Notice Board, and Chimecho floated onto the centre, while the Riolu and Eevee went in front of her.
"What's wrong, Chimecho?" Ray asked.
"Well, I wanted to announce you, that I'm opening an assembly."
"An assembly?" Eva asked.
"Yeah, sometimes in the Dungeons you'll meet some Pokemon that might want to join you, and now with my assembly open, you can accept new members."
"Really?" Ray asked.
"Yeah. Let me now ring the Friendship Bell." Chimecho spun around and a soft bell could be heard. "Now you can recruit new members."
"Thanks, Chimecho!" Eva thanked.
"Let's go to Treasure Town, before we look to the boards, okay?" Ray asked.
"Yeah, so we see if they have red gummies, to give to the cub when she'll hatch."
"Yeah!"
The two left for Treasure Town.
Treasure Town.
As everyday, Treasure Town was full of activity, there were various Team minding their business, the little town was composed by Duskull Bank, run by a Duskull, that store the money of every explorer, Electivire Link Shop, run by an Electivire, that helps the explorers to remember forgotten moves, Marowak Dojo that was run by Marowak, but for problems it was closed, like Chansey's Day Care, there was also Keckleon's Shop and Keckleon Wares, run by the Keckleon's brothers, that were known to also come from Pokemon Square, where the Explorers were known as Rescuers, and sometimes the Keckleons would tell the children stories of Pokemon Square, mainly of a Team that had saved the world from a falling meteor, and they were known as Team Hope, then there was also Xatu Appraisal that for 150 Poke would unlock the chests the Explorers find in the dungeons, There was also Kangaskhan Storage, that keep in store the items that the explorers will leave to them.
Also recently, at the crossroads that brings to the Guild, Treasure Town, beach and at the dungeons, a Café was opened, and it was divided in two shops, Spinda's Juice Bar, that was run by Spinda that turns food items into drinks and Recycle Shop, run by Wobbuffet and Wynaut, where you can trade unwanted items for another item or try to win a prize.
Eva and Ray went down the stairs and went toTreasureTown, where they were greeted by Vigoroth, that often publicises the shops that are new and just had opened and then went to the Keckleon's Market, where they saw a Growlithe, that had darker fur than others of its species
And with black sweatbands over her ankles, that was buying some Big Apples.
"Hi!" Ray said to the Growlithe.
The Growlithe turned to see Ray and Eva walking toward him.
"Hi!" the Growlithe, a female, said
"What's your name?" Ray asked.
"My name is Kindle." the Growlithe said. "And you are?"
"I'm Eva the Eevee." Eva said.
"And I'm Ray the Riolu." Ray said too.
"Oh, hello, Team Daylight." A green Keckleon said exiting from the Keckleon's shaped hut with the Big apples, and giving them to the Growlithe that paid them and put them on her bag.
"I have to go." Kindle said. "See ya."
"See ya!" Eva and Ray called while she left.
"Can we do anything for you?" a purple Keckleon asked exiting too.
"Do you have some Red Gummies?" Eva asked.
"No, sorry. We have given the last ones to Kindle."
"Oh, thanks however." Ray said. "Well, I would like a Big Apple, 2 Elixir Max and a Reviver Seed."
"Okay."
The purple Keckleon went inside and then exited with the requested objects putting them on the counter and Ray grabbed them, putting them in his bag and then taking a satchel where they kept the money.
"In total it's 1350 poké." the green Keckleon told them.
"Okay." he put the money requested on the counter.
"Thank you." the purple Keckleon said.
The two Pokemon left and were about to go to the Guild when they noticed that a Zubat, a Koffing and another Growlithe, that was like Kindle, but his fur was normal coloured and had a black spiked collar, going over the beach.
Both Riolu and Eevee recognized the Koffing and Zubat as the two Pokemon that stole Eva's Relic Fragment two days later and if they were heading toward the beach, it was no good sign, even if they didn't know who the Growlithe with them was so they followed them and see why they're so interested once again to the beach.
Meanwhile, back to Kindle...
I didn't tell you one thing about the beach, usually if you go there you find some bottles with requests of rescues, arrest criminals or to find some treasures, so sometimes explorers go to the beach to check if there are bottles, like now the Growlithe, that Team Daylight met to the Keckleon's shop did, but didn't find nothing.
"Hmmm..." she said. "Well, let's go to check the boards..."
Kindle was about to leave when...
"Where do you think you are going, sister?" a male and malicious voice called her.
Kindle turned to see the same Pokemon that Eva and Ray saw going to the beach and decided to follow: the Growlithe together to the Zubat and Koffing.
"Arch..." Kindle growled.
"Want to join me now?" Arch asked.
"Like I said before, NEVER!"
"Well, to bad!" Arch said. "If you want to leave this beach...Or you beat us or join us!"
"I choose the first option!"
"Well, too bad you have to battle all three of us." Koffing said.
"Well, I don't think so!" Ray's voice called.
The four turned to see indeed Ray and Eva reaching them.
"Oh, look, Zubat!" Koffing said. "It's wimpy and..."
But Koffing didn't finish because Eva's Swift hit him.
"Repeat it again and I make sure to make you hate my Swift attack!" Eva called. "I still remember that you and Koffing tried to steal my Relic Fragment!"
"Well, and now you're going to..." Zubat started but then Arch, that was mesmerized by Eva, turned his attention back to Kindle.
"So, that's why you aren't join us." he said. "Because of them."
Eva and Ray looked at Arch very confused and even his sister was a little confused.
"Well, we'll leave for now."
"But..." Koffing said.
"Let's go." Arch interrupted him.
And the trio started to leave but Arch turned to Kindle.
"Like I said before I'll make you join us, no matter what." he told her.
"That will never happen!" Kindle said.
He ignored that and he turned to Eva.
"And I hope to see you again."
The trio leaving Kindle, Eva and Ray a little confused.
Then Ray turned to Kindle.
"Who is the Growlithe that was with these two criminals?" he asked.
"That's Arch, my twin brother." Kindle replied. "We both have born in a pack of Growlithe and Arcanine. We decided to try and become an exploration team without joining the Guild."
"Why Arch is with them?" Eva asked.
"Because he got mixed up with them." Kindle said a little frustrated. "I confronted him and he asked me to join them, but I refused. We got into a fight but we're evenly matched. I told him, before leaving, that I would defeat me while he swore that he would get me joining them."
Silence but then...
"Can I join you?"
This shocked Ray and Eva.
"I would like to join you because...you're nice to help me even if you barely know me and I would like to train to the Wigglytuff's Guild to become stronger..."
"I don't have problems." Ray said.
"Neither do I!" Eva confirmed.
"Thanks!"
"No problem!"
Back at the Guild...
"Are you sure to want me as one of the leaders of Team Daylight?" Kindle asked.
"Well, you want to defeat your brother and Chatot and Wigglytuff are okay with our decision, so..." Eva said.
Kindle nodded and the trio headed to their room.
The Growlithe noticed the Vulpix egg.
"An egg?" she asked.
"Yeah..." Eva said. "You see..."
Ray and Eva told the story to Kindle.
"Oh, poor thing..."Kindle said.
"Yeah..."Eva said.
"Well, when the egg will hatch, I'll teach the Fire moves to the cub."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Thousands of Kilometers away, in a cavern...
The two Pokemon that Leaf met to Eastern Forest were now in a cavern to rest up before they continued their journey, and right now Sheila, the human turned Eevee with a silver necklace with a blue pendant around her neck, was lying and Grovyle was sitting near the wall, and near them a fire.
"Grovyle?" Sheila asked, rising her head.
"Hmm?" the Grovyle opened an eye.
"Hem...Were you sleeping?"
"No..."
"When should we arrive toTreeshoudForest?"
"If all goes well, we should be there in a week."
The Eevee nodded.
Then...
"Grovyle?" Sheila's voice was worried. "Do you think we'll find mom soon?"
The Geecko Pokemon knows she's missing her mother, since she got separated from them during that accident on the Time Stream.
"Don't worry, we'll find her soon."
The small Eevee nodded and then yawned, feeling tired.
"Come on, try and get some sleep now. Tomorrow we have to leave soon."
Sheila nodded and curled up, falling asleep.
Grovyle made sure that she was asleep and got up without waking her up.
He headed toward the entry of the cave.
"I hope that wherever you are, Alessandra. You're alright." he said.
Well, chapter 2 done!
I've decided to update my story on Mondays and since I Forums won't let anyone submit OC, I let everyone submit an OC here or by PM.
So... Team Daylight has a new member: Kindle the Growlithe and they met Team Skull, where Kindle's twin brother is a member.
Here are xXKaminari-TsubasaXx's OC:
Name: Kindle
Gender: female
Species: growlithe
Moves: ember, flame wheel, iron tail, dig, heat wave
History: Born into a pack of growlithe and arcanine with her twin brother Arch. She and Arch did everything together and had big dreams. Eventually they decided to set off on their own at a fairly young age to become an exploration team without the help of the guild. They were doing pretty good until Arch started getting mixed up with the wrong pokemon. After Kindle confronted him about it, he offered her to join the group he was in. Kindle refused and they got into a huge fight. They ended up being evenly matched and Kindle promised she would defeat him one day, while Arch said he would end up turning her into a "bad guy".
Personality: Kindle is determined and loyal. She likes to help people and hates double crossers. She is a ruthless fighter and knows how to intimidate someone. She normally is very trusting, but that part of her personality altered a bit when Arch turned against her. She is now determined to get strong, but won't take the wrong path to get that power. Unfortunatly, Kindle is very stubborn and won't change her opinion, even if proof is right in front of her.
Goals: To beat her brother Arch and help the vulpix cub with fire moves when it hatches.
Who they want to join: Eva and Ray
Differences from the other Pokemon: fur is a little darker than normal
Objects: black sweat bands around her ankles
Rival: Arch, her brother
Crush: whoever you want
Name: Arch
Gender: Male
Species: growlithe
Moves: bite, flame wheel, crunch, faint attack, ember
History: Born into a pack of growlithe and arcanine with his twin sister Kindle. He and Kindle did everything together and had big dreams. Eventually they decided to set off on their own at a fairly young age to become an exploration team without the help of the guild. They were doing pretty good until he started to get mixed up with the wrong pokemon. Kindle confronted him about it and he offered her to join the group. She refused and they broke out in a fight where they were evenly matched. He swore he would get her to join him and she promised to defeat him.
Personality: Arch is a tacticion and powerful, but he's kind of lost. Arch isn't a bad person, but he feels like he can do whatever he wants, and feels there's more profit in being the "bad guys" than an exploration team. Arch really does love his sister, who was his best friend like he was her's, and wants her to join his side so he can be completely happy. Arch is ruthless in a fight and is just as good as anyone in his group.
Goals: To get his sister to join his side and to become the boss
Who they want to join: already with the bad guys
Differences from the other Pokemon: he's more apt than the usual growlithe to learn dark-type moves
Objects: a black spiked collar
Rival: Kindle (more her to him) and Ray because he thinks Kindle likes him (which she doesn't) and that's why she won't join him
Crush: Eva, because she's so pure
Also, I hope that I got xXKaminari-TsubasaXx's OC good as in my old story.
Thanks also for the review.
