"Sorry, you didn't get the answer you were looking for" Shaymin said as they were walking away from the spring. Rowlet just looked puzzled. His identity crisis was really bugging him, and Shaymin could see it. She thought about what to say then remembered her own little problem.
"Hey, maybe there is something you can help me with" she said.
"What is it?" Rowlet asked.
"You see I've always wanted to be in an exploration team, those are special teams who search for treasure, defeat bad guys, and rescue Pokémon in need, but I've never had the courage to ask to form a team, maybe you could help me with that?"
"I don't know," Rowlet said, still thinking about his problem.
"I know you still don't know who you are, but maybe if we form an exploration team together, maybe we can figure it out and become the best exploration team ever" Shaymin coaxed.
"I have nowhere to go from here, so…ok, I'll help you" Rowlet said.
"YAAAYY!" Shaymin squealed. She grabbed his hand and skipped through the woods, straight to the guild up the hill.
They arrived at the entrance of Wigglytuff's Guild.
"I'm so nervous!" Shaymin quavered, "but I'm glad you're here too, that eases some of my fear."
"So, why are you so scared to talk to Wigglytuff?" Rowlet asked.
"She is the world's most renowned explorer, and she is a lot stronger than she looks." Shaymin explained. "I've been told that someone lost all her Perfect Apples and were never heard from again" Rowlet shuddered. "Spooky, isn't it?" She added. "INTRUDER ALERT! INDRUDER ALERT!" Diglett said popping out of the ground, turning his head. "EEKKK!" Rowlet and Shaymin shrieked, falling backwards. Chatot flew out of the entrance of the guild.
"Ah-ha! We caught you, intruders! Now you'll have to answer to the one and only guildmaster!" He taunted with a flair in his voice. He led them down the steps of the entrance to the guildmaster's room. Soon, they were standing in front of Wigglytuff, the guildmaster.
Wigglytuff looked cute and friendly to Rowlet but Shaymin and even Chatot were nervous to be in the same room as her.
"What brings you intruders to my guild?" She asked, in a friendly tone.
"This is all a misunderstanding" Shaymin mumbled, "I want to…to…"
"You want to what?" Wigglytuff asked. Shaymin nudged Rowlet to talk for her.
"We want to form an exploration team" Rowlet said, bluntly, not scared at all.
"Do you now? Well we certainly need more exploration teams, especially during these times with Team Rebel on the lose." She whispered the last part.
"So, if that's what you want, then I'll be glad to let you join our guild!" Wigglytuff said. Rowlet and Shaymin were shocked, including Chatot.
"Uh, Guildmaster, can we talk in private?" Chatot whispered, pulling her aside.
"They're small, there is no way they can handle these tough missions, do you remember what happened to Team Tiny?" She and Chatot shuddered.
"Well, I don't see a problem with them being small, they look perfectly capable to me. Besides we need more young people on our guild, they are our future you know" Wigglytuff whispered.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you if they get hurt" Chatot whispered.
Wigglytuff and Chatot turned back to Shaymin and Rowlet, who were waiting patiently.
"Now, we need to register your team name" Wigglytuff said.
"It's Team Basil, I came up with that" Shaymin said.
"That's an excellent name for a team…" Wiggly began to speak.
"OH NO! TAKE COVER!" Chatot shouted. He ducked down and covered his ears. "Wait what for?" Rowlet asked, "Just do it!" Chatot retorted.
"YOM-TAAA!" Wigglytuff shouting using Hyper Voice to project her voice. Rowlet and Shaymin quickly covered their ears. When she stopped, they all unplugged their ears and were happy at the acceptance into the guild.
"Thank you Wigglytuff, thank you so much!" Shaymin said with a little tear in her eye.
"Can you believe it Rowlet? We are on an exploration team now!" She turned to Rowlet and hugged him tightly.
"I know, it's so cool" Rowlet said, trying to sound excited. Rowlet was still a little puzzled over his dilemma but he didn't want to spoil Shaymin's happiness. Besides it wasn't like there was anything he could do about the situation at the moment. Just then, from the entrance came another team of Pokémon; An Aggron, an Aegislash, and a Turtonator.
"You've arrived just in time, Team Hotshot…" Wigglytuff said.
"Whoa whoa whoa! The Team Hotshot?! The highest-ranking team in all of the guild?!" Shaymin squealed.
"Yeah, that's us kid, but don't expect us to sign any autographs" Aggron boasted.
"Anyway, Team Hotshot, meet the newest team on our guild, Team Basil" Wigglytuff said. The whole team looked down at Team Basil and burst out laughing.
"Yo, Wigglytuff, April Fool's Day is on April 1st you know" Aggron laughed, thinking she was joking. Wigglytuff gave him a straight face. "Oh wait, you're being serious?" he said, noticing her look.
"These bawbling children art on a team of th're own?" Aegislash pondered speaking very archaic, "I wouldst misprise to say this but this is v'ry folly"
"Ja, zere are ze perfect size to be turtonated" Turtonator mocked in an Austrian, almost robotic, accent.
"Be nice to them, I mean it!" Wigglytuff ordered. Team Hotshot sealed their lips, but still snickered at the team.
This was going to be a long start for Team Basil.
