Chapter 3: New Day, New Friends

Alex's Dream

I open up my eyes, and find myself standing in some kind of rainbow colored void. I see a vague black shape in the distance, and I start approaching it. When I get closer, I can start to make out the shape. It appears to be a serpentine shape, with black and green covering it's body. It looks towards me with it's strange head, and speaks without moving. "Alex…"

"Wh-who are you?"

"I... am... Zygarde…" The creature says, each word sounding as if it took a great amount of effort to say.

"Why are you here?"

The snake starts shaking and fading away. "Too… soon…" is all it says before completely disappearing. After it is gone, the world around me starts shaking and turning a bright white, forcing me to close my eyes. When the light dims, I open my eyes and find myself being shaken awake by Drew.

Sharpedo Bluff, Alex's POV

I slowly stand up and stretch, yawning. "Why are we up so early?" I ask, looking out the window and seeing the sun only partially risen over the horizon.

"We need to get used to waking up early if we are going to join the guild." Drew says, leading me back into the main room and over to the table, where his dad and mom are waiting, with plates of food in front of the seats. We chat while we eat, and I decide to tell them about my dream.

"Zygarde, huh? That's a legendary pokemon. Maybe he was trying to tell you something. I used to have dreams like that occasionally," Ben tells me.

We finish our breakfast, and walk outside. Now that we aren't rushing, I can get a good look at the stores as we walk past. There is a shop ran by a kangaskhan, one ran by two kecleons, one by an electivire, and one ran by a dusclops, which seems to be a bank.

When we reach the crossroad, the adults turn left to head up the large staircase, but Drew holds me back. "Actually, can you wait here? I need to go get someone." After saying that, he descends into the Spinda Café, leaving me alone at the crossroad.

As I wait somewhat patiently, my boredom is interrupted by some girl shouting, "Get out of my way!"

Looking towards the screaming, I see a fennekin with a bag in it's mouth running right at me. I quickly sidestep out of the way, and as she runs past, she winks at me and whispers, "Thank you." then she runs off into the distance.

Moments later, one of the kecleons from the shop runs past shouting, "Stop, thief!"

Wait, was she a thief? I stand there, and not long after, Drew comes back out with a shinx behind him. They come over to me, the shinx almost trying to hide behind him.

"So Alex, this is Christy. She's an old friend, and she will be joining us on the team."

She peeks out from behind him. "H-hi…" she quietly says.

"Don't worry, she is a bit shy. Now let's go to the guild!"

All together, we walk up the large staircase. At the top is a large tent that looks like a wigglytuff, two totem poles designed to look like various pokemon, a couple lit torches, and a strange grate on the ground. "We just need to stand on the grate to be let in," Drew explains before stepping onto the grate.

"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!" shouts a voice from below.

"Whose footprint! Whose footprint!" shouts a second voice.

"The footprint is Drew's! The footprint is Drew's!" shouts the first voice again.

"You may enter!"

Drew steps off the grate, and the first voice shouts up, "I know there are others with you, have them stand on the grate and then you can come in!"

I'm up next, and after me, Christy. After we all go, the gate opens, allowing us inside.

Inside is a small room with a billboard at the back and a ladder leading underground in the middle. Drew leads us down the ladder, using his vines to help himself climb down, I climb down with little trouble, and Christy somehow easily climbing down despite being four legged.

Upon reaching the lower floor, we are greeted by a sunflora and Drew's parents. The sunflora walks up to us and says, "Oh my gosh! You must be here to join the guild! Ben and Sarah told us you were finally going to make a team! I assume these two are your teammates?"

"Yes they are!"

"Then follow me to the guildmaster to get signed up as an official team." She then leaves down another ladder, but before we can follow, Ben stops us.

"You guys are about to step into adventure, but you need to be careful. Exploration is not all fun and adventure, it is a very dangerous world out there. You may run into pokemon that will try to kill you without a second thought. I want you to promise to be careful."

"I promise!" We all shout in surprising unison, before looking at each other and smiling.

"Good. Now you should get going to see the guildmaster. Sarah and I are leaving for the a new dungeon around the Northern Desert called Scorpio Cave, where a dangerous criminal is supposed to be hiding. With luck we should be returning in week. See you all later!" And with that said, the two brave adventurers leave the guild to set out on their adventure.

"We should get going too, then," I say, and we all climb the ladder to another sub-level of the guild where the sunflora is waiting for us. "This way please!" She leads us through a door to another room.

In the other room, we are greeted by a bibarel. "You three must be the new recruits, yup yup! So, first things first, what is your team name?"

We all pause. We all form a huddle. "Crap. We forgot to make a team name!" Drew whispers.

"W-we could try Team Galaxy, or, umm, I'm out of ideas," says Christy, only a bit quieter than when she spoke before.

"That name wouldn't make sense, sorry to say. Let's think about each of us. Is there anything we have in common? I am water type crocodile."

"I'm a grass type… thing, with a big leaf on my head."

"And I'm an electric type cat-like creature."

"I got it!" I quietly shout. "We all have basic elements as our types. Water, plant, electric, get it? How about Team Elemental?"

"That's a good idea, right Christy?"

"Y-yeah. That's pretty good…"

"Alright!" We un-huddle and face the guildmaster. "We have our answer!"

"Alright, what is it?" Asks the guildmaster.

"Team Elemental!" We all shout.

"OK. Let's just jot that down…" the guildmaster takes out a pad of paper and scribbles something on it. "Good. From this day forth, Team Elemental is now an official team. Since there is plenty of daylight left, I recommend getting acquainted with the other recruits, yup yup."

"Oh my gosh! I could help you guys!"

"What do you say, guys?" I ask.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt…"

"Let's do it!"

Next time!
