A/N (Touches door to walk in and gets a small zap)OW! Where did that come from?! Any who I do not own poke'mon or the oc teams except Rio's and Vixi's. Now to figure out how I got zapped.
Chapter 2
Wigglytuff Guild
Rio's POV
As they walked into the beach cave Rio saw a Shellos.
"Hey there little guy. Have you seen-" was all he said before it slapped mud in his face. The gross part was when some of it got in his mouth. He spit it out and wiped off his face.
"Okay now that's just plain ru-" He started to say until it tackled him.
"Grrr. Okay you asked for it ,slug!" said Rio before he used Reversal. Since it had damaged him already, the attack did enough damage to knock it out.
"What was his problem?" he asked Vixi. She was laughing at the fact that he just got harassed by a tiny slug, but she managed to answer.
"P-Pokemon are hostile here!" she managed to get out and continued to laugh. She finally stopped and moved on. They ran into more Shellos but Rio wasn't fooled this time. He instantly attacked them. Unfortunately, he made the mistake of biting one. It did damage but the thing tasted terrible. Vixi almost passed out laughing as he tried to drink some of the water to get the taste out of his mouth. Finally they managed to catch up with Koffing and Zubat at the end of the cave.
"Dang it a dead end." moaned Koffing.
"Betcha Magnezone is already in the cave" shouted Zubat in a panicked voice. All of a sudden they turned around to see Rio and Vixi. They smiled at this.
"Well well aren't they stupid?" said Zubat.
"Yea. Now all we have to do is knock em' out and leave." said Koffing menacingly. Suddenly Vixi stepped up mustering some courage.
"G-give me back my personal treasure!" she shouted nervously.
"You hear that Koffing? Its treasure!" said Zubat.
"Yeah. Maybe it will fetch a high price." said Koffing. Then Rio stepped up to speak.
"Too bad you have to give it up to avoid getting whipped." He said confidently. And with that the battle started. Zubat instantly Quick Attacked Rio but he missed. Rio retaliated with Bite this time not biting in all the way like he did with Shellos. No point gagging in the middle of a fight. Koffing attempted to use smog on Vixi, but suddenly Rio had an idea.
"Vixi try using Ember on the gas!" he yelled. Vixi tried it and, sure enough, the gas caught flame and exploded! Rio and Vixi, seeing this coming, jumped out of the blast radius. Zubat, however, was not so lucky. Both he and Koffing collapsed on the ground, charred nearly black. Luckily the Relic Fragment was knocked off Zubat at the beginning of the explosion, so it was relatively unscathed. Vixi quickly ran up and grabbed it. After a quick look to make sure it was okay she put it back around her neck. Zubat and Koffing managed to get into the air again.
"Ugh. That hurt." moaned Koffing.
"Hey you two! Don't let this go to your heads. Next time we'll win ya hear!" Said Zubat and with that they ran past Rio and Vixi and out of the dungeon.
"Cowards. C'mon Vixi. Let's leave." said Rio, and with that they left.
Vixi's POV
When they finally got out of the cave, they stopped.
"Thanks for helping back there. I don't think I could have done it without you." Vixi said gratefully.
"No problem." Rio replied.
'He definitely knows how to fight. I wonder how. I better ask.' she thought.
"Hey. How do you know how to fight?"she said, voicing her question.
"I don't know." he answered. This confused her.
"That or I don't remember" he added.
'What does he mean he doesn't remember? It would probably be wear he came from' she thought.
"Well? Where are you from?" she asked.
"I...I don't remember. All I do remember is my name and that I was once human." he said.
"Then you probably don't have anywhere to go. Right?" she asked.
"Not any place I would remember." he replied.
"Can I ask you something then?"
"Shoot"
"Would you form an Exploration Team with me?" she asked with a hopeful smile.
"Exploration Team?" he asked, obviously new to the concept.
"Yeah it a team that goes on adventures, find treasures, and explore new places. To become one you have to apprentice at a guild. Its not like forming a rescue team where all you do is sign up. I've always wanted to form one , but to be honest, I always seem to chicken out. I figured, if someone did it with me, it would be easier to join. It would help you-"
"Okay"
"Besides it wouldn't be that-wait what?" she said, surprised.
"I said okay I'll form one with you." he said. She sat there stunned. Then she just burst out.
"Yay. Oh thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This means so much to me-"
"Okay, Okay." he interrupted, surprised by the out burst.
"Calm down before you have a heart attack!"
She finally managed to calm down. This was the happiest moment of her life so she had every right to be hyper.
"We have to go right now or else we won't be able to sign up today" She nearly yelled due to still being hyper. Then she ran towards the stairs that led to the crossroads. Luckily Rio managed to catch up. Finally they reached the Guild. Rio gave it a confused look but, Vixi was downright nervous. Reluctantly she stepped on the grate.
"Pokemon Detected! Pokemon Detected!" yelled the sentry.
"WHO'S FOOTPRINT?! WHO"S FOOTPRINT?!" yelled the other. Vixi had to resist the urge to jump off like last time.
'No. I can't run this time. Not in front of Rio.' she thought.
"The footprint is Vulpix's! The footprint is Vulpix's!" Shouted the first sentry to the other.
"...You MAY enter. You BROUGHT someone with YOU so get him on the GRATE!" yelled the second sentry.
"Your up, Rio." said Vixi. With that Rio stepped on to the grate.
"Pokemon Detected! Pokemon Detected!" shouted sentry 1.
"WHO'S FOOTPRINT?! WHO'S FOOTPRINT?!" shouted sentry 2.
" The footprint is Chase's! The footprint is Chase's!" replied sentry 1.
"No its NOT! I saw CHASE go into his ROOM! Its probably another RIOLU you IDIOT!" shouted sentry 2. It then turned into a heated argument. Vixi caught the names Loudred and Diglett but that was about it.
"Would you STOP ARGUING?!" she yelled down the hole, her patience gone.
"S-SORRY you may ENTER!" shouted one of them. With that they entered the Guild.
Rio's POV
Rio was in awe when he entered the Guild Building There were Pokemon everywhere.
There were two Bisharp were talking next to one of the boards one of them was shiny .A Pikachu with her ears in a ponytail and a blue backwards snapback(Which he thought was a little odd) was talking to an Oshawott. At the end of the room a Lucario chatted with a Gardevoir and Houndoom. He just stood their gaping until he heard someone clear his throat behind him. When he turned around he saw it was a Chatot.
"Are you the two who just came in? I'm Chatot, Head of Intelligence in the Guild. Now shoo we have no time for surveys or sales people. Its late." said Chatot. Vixi quickly spoke up.
"We aren't here for that! We wanna join the Guild!" Chatot not wanting to scare them off like almost did with the last ones sighed.
"Okay. Do you have any real experience with fighting." he asked.
"A little." Rio replied. He figured there was a placement exam or something close to that. His suspicions were proven soon after.
"Aria, Dean. Come here please." said Chatot to the Pikachu and Oshawott. He noticed that the Pikachu had green eyes,which was odd, and an Oshawott with brown eyes. Aria had a sort of miffed look on her face.
"What do you want Chatot?" she asked somewhat impatiently.
"I want you two to test these two." replied Chatot
"Brilliant. Its not like I haven't worked all day and am starving. Why not test a couple new recruits and delay the only real meal I have besides breakfast." she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Just do it." Chatot said with a sigh. Rio knew not to mess with her. It my make the test more painful. They got to each side of the room. Vixi looked nervous and he could relate. These two had more experience. Then he had an idea. He put out one of his hands and focused. A bone staff made of energy appeared.
'Bone Rush. A Ground type move! Now I have a chance.' he thought. The electric-type didn't look phased at all. He prepared for battle and charged. Dean instantly used Razor Shell and jumped in front of Aria. Rio swung his staff but Oshawott blocked it. Vixi tried to use ember but he merely stood there and took it. He returned the ember attack with Scald knocking out Vixi, then jumped out from in front of Aria. She then proceeded to punch him in the face with Focus Punch.
"Ugh" was all he could get out before he fell to the ground and passed out. When he came through he was on the bottom floor next to Vixi who was just waking up. He got up to see that Chatot was in front of him with his back to a door.
"Yes, I believe you start out at the lowest rank,normal." said Chatot.
"I do apologize, though. Aria's was the lowest ranked team in the room." he added apologetically. Rio's face still felt as though three Hitmonchans had taken turns punching him.
"Well its time to register your team. The Guildmaster is the one who usually does it. Now under no circumstances are you to be discourteous to the Guildmaster." he finished then opened the door. In the middle of the room was a Pokemon with its back turned to them. Chatot walked up to it.
"Um. Guildmaster?" he asked. It instantly turned around.
"Yoom-TAH!" he yelled, making everyone jump in surprise.
"Hiya. I'm Wigglytuff. So you want to be an Exploration Team?" asked Wiggltytuff.
"Y-yes,sir." Vixi managed to say.
"Okie-dokie. Now, whats your team's name?" he asked. Rio hadn't thought of that.
"Rio, what do you think?" Vixi asked. Rio thought for awhile.
"How about...Auraflame?" he asked.
"Perfect! Wigglytuff we decided that its Auraflame." she said.
"Good." he replied. Chatot covered his ears.
"Yoom-TAH!" Wigglytuff yelled, once again making them jump.
"Congratulations! You are officially an Exploration Team! Now here are your supplies." He said then pulled out a golden chest. Rio opened it and pulled out a Wonder Map, a Treasure Bag, a Silver Scarf, and a Special Band.
"Happy exploring Team Auraflame." Wigglytuff said. They then left the room. As they walked down the hall they saw the room they were assigned. Rio went opened the door and
SPLASH a bucket of water fell on his head.
"What the!?" he yelled in outrage. Vixi ran off and got him a towel. Then they went to bed.
"I'm so excited,Rio. We actually made it into the guild!" she whispered.
"Yeah and got whipped and soaked, but yeah its pretty cool." he said feigning anger, but really he was excited. This whole thing felt like an adventure. Finally he drifted off to sleep.
A/N: See it is much longer and I at least partially introduced the all OC Teams.
