I'm baaack! :D Yeah. I haven't updated this in ages. Anyway, the friend of mine approved of the idea, so we're good to go. I got a new laptop too, and the spacebar is really annoying. It's like a clicky thing. xD Anyway, here's the chapter, along with the addition of a few new characters. And by a few, I mean two. Enjoy!

Mima transformed back into her normal self and ran across the beach until she got to the guild. She ran inside, and slid down the ladder to the first floor of the guild. Once Whiplash caught up, she spoke. "So, I wonder what we do now we've got the treasure? I've never done anything like this before...".

"Well, we'll have to open it somehow. But it's rusted shut and it needs a key anyways. I guess we'll need to break it open somehow." Whiplash said, putting down the box to examine it. Mima snorted, "Easy." Her paws began to glow a ghostly black colour as she readied her Shadow Claw attack. She smiled smugly, preparing the force the box open. "And if Shadow Claw fails, then I can blast it to pieces with Night Daze." Whiplash moved so she was out of range. "Have at it!" She chirped cheerfully. Mima roared, swiping at the box, splitting the lock in two. "There! I told you it was easy!" She smiled as Shadow Claw faded away. "Ooh! What's in it?" Whiplash said, flying closer to peer in. Mima smiled, lifting the lid of the box to reveal what was inside. "Well, there's a bunch of what seem to be mini versions of those crystal formations we saw earlier...I'm sure there's more in there. Here, you take a look" She said as she took out a small ruby coloured gem and sat down to examine it further. Whiplash poked around in the box. "...There're also some gold bars and what looks like a Coalition Scarf or something." She reported dutifully. Mima nodded, "Awesome. That's great for our first expedition!" She exclaimed as she got up. "I would high five you, but..." She guestured to Whiplash's head topped hands. Whiplash laughed. "The woes of being a Hydreigon." She said. "Now where do you get something to eat in this place?" Mima smiled, "The dinner hall, I guess. If not, we can always go looking for some perfect apples or whatever." She transformed into an Arcanine, and roared, just for the fun of it. "Well, do you know where the dinner hall or wherever is? I'm starving!" Whiplash laughed. "Three heads need a lot of food." Mima shrugged. "No idea. Best go looking for it, I suppose." She roared again then sprinted off down the hallway, and happened to knock over an innocent Marill. (A/N: Maril? Marill? I'm not entirely sure.)She sniggered, then shouted back at the Marill. "You were in MY way!"

"Sorry about that!" Whiplash called to the Marill as she followed Mima. An Arcanine jumped up from where he was reading a map, pricking his ears. "Whiplash?" He asked incredulously. Whiplash skidded (A/N Can you even skid when you're flying?) to a stop, turning around. "Mother of Arceus, Inferno! I haven't seen you since you were a Growlithe!" She said, darting over to her friend. "You're a Hydreigon now- that's awesome! Where have you been?" Inferno asked her, his tail wagging. Whiplash looked around, making sure nobody was listening "Mom thought I couldn't be an adventurer like my brothers, so I snuck out. Haven't been back since!" She whispered happily. Mima skidded to halt, whirling around to check that Whiplash was following. She transformed back into her normal self, then scanned the room for her friend, who she saw talking to an Arcanine. She paused for a moment, then shrugged and sprinted off in search of the dinner hall. "Oh, I have to go introduce you to my friend!" Whiplash exclaimed suddenly. She turned around and made a confused hum. "...Huh. Where'd she go? Oh well, come on! We'll find her together!" She said happily, turning around to resume her original course. Inferno paused, shrugged, then followed. "Who're we looking for, exactly? You make some strange friends, you know." He said. "Oh, what, like you?" Whiplash cast a glance back at her old friend. "There she is!" She said upon seeing a Zoroark run down the hallway. "Hey, Mima! Come here!" She shouted, disturbing some Pokémon lounging around. Upon hearing her name, Mima whirled around, transformed into an Entei and ran back down the hallway, almost trampling on some unexpecting pokemon. She skidded to a halt beside Whiplash, and tilted her head at the strange Arcanine. "Um...Hi?" She ventured quietly.

"Oh, hey! My name's Inferno; I used to know Whiplash when we were kids. How do you do?" Inferno barked amiably. Mima smiled, transforming into her usual self. "I'm Zoroark, Master Of Illusions." She grinned. "But you can call me Mima!" Not far away, Blaze the Houndoom was trying his best climb down the guild ladder. He missed his foot, and slipped, tumbling downwards and ending flat on his face. He groaned, getting up. He then spotted a Zoroark, talking to a Hydeigon and an Arcanine and immediatly recognised who it was. He looked away for a moment. He had a crush on that specific Zoroark, ever since he first met herwhen they were both young. He bit back his feelings and bounded over to her. "Mima!" He yelled, hoping to catch her attention. Mima glanced in the direction her name was called, and saw her old buddy. "Blaze!" She exclaimed, speeding over to him and almost crushing him in a hug. Amused, Whiplash watched the two. She then realized something, and turned to Inferno. "Hey...What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with the others?" She asked. Inferno's tail drooped, and he looked away. "I'd rather not talk about it." He mumbled. Mima dragged Blaze over to meet her friends. "Whiplash, Inferno, this is my buddy, Blaze." Blaze smiled, showing his ivory fangs. "Nice to meet you". "Nice to meet you too!" Whiplash said happily. "I'm Whiplash, and this is my friend Inferno. We've been friends since we were little." She explained. Inferno waved his tail in greeting. Blaze waved his spiked tail back at the other canine pokemon. Mima grinned, getting an idea. "Say, Whiplash. Do you mind if Blaze and Inferno going her exploration team?"

"Of course they can!" Whiplash said. Inferno looked excited. "Awesome-it's just like what we dreamed about when we were little!" He barked enthusiastically. Mima and Blaze jumped up and down in agreement. "Go, Team ShadowFire!" Mima barked enthusiastically, excited for the adventures that lay ahead.

I'm really sorry. I would write more, but i've run out of time. That was a really bad place to leave off, too. I'm sorry! *hides* I'll carry on when I can, and get the next chapter uploaded as soon as possible. I know it's probably very confusing becaise it was originally an RP, but I'm trying my best to get it to work! You'll notice that I'm starting new paragraphs at random places, yeah... I don't know when to start a new paragraph because of the original format and also because I'm not sure what to do when the characters speak directly after each other. If that makes sense.*shrugs* Thank you, for reading!~
