This chappie is kinda like the game. Hehe! It was fun to think of a name for this chapter! Lily's POV.
Loudred's yelling woke us up quick enough. I put on my gem before we headed out. We were soon all present, so Wigglytuff came in. He was- wait, why was he wearing a DUSCLOPES MASK?
"Hello everyone!" he greeted cheerfully. We cheered much softer than normal, afraid our guild master had gone crazy. "Do you like my mask?" Silence… He growled slightly, and we all cheered. He laughed, then began rattling on about today's assignment. "Today I want you all to go to Marowak Dojo! Fight at least one battle, then you can do whatever you want." He explained.
When we were dismissed, Archie and I began the walk to the Dojo. We finally made it to the large stone training facility minutes later, with Marowak there to greet us.
"Here for training, I presume?" He asked. We nodded, and set our Treasure Bag down against the wall.
"Follow me," Marowak said. We were led down a long hallway. After being settled into a large room at the end of the hall, Marowak paused in the doorway. "Type preference?"
I looked at Archie. "How about Rock-Type?" I asked him. He nodded and the Marowak left the room. Moments later, a Shieldon, Geodude, and Dwebble entered the room. We each got into fighting positions, neither side making the first move.
"Rock Throw!" the Geodude yelled aiming for Archie.
"Flamethrower!" I yelled as I shot out the red, orange, and yellow flames towards the Geodude, burning him.
"Tackle!" came the Shieldon charging towards me. I quickly dodged and shot out an Ember towards it. It looked very weak.
The Dwebble hid in the back collecting rocks. When the Geodude fainted, the Dwebble yelled, "Rock Blast!" and started throwing rocks everywhere. A sharp one managed to cut me on my face.
Archie growled at the Dwebble. "Thunder!" The Dwebble fainted. Now only the Shieldon was left.
"Take Down!" it cried, aiming right at me. I hissed when it hit, but then it fainted. Archie ran up to me.
"Are you alright?" he asked, concerned. He looked at my cut. "Oh no, you're not."
"I'll be fine," I said, though the cut was beginning to sting. Marowak came in and saw the fainted Pokémon.
"Nicely done," he said after he'd given us each an Oran berry and a Heal Seed. "Do you want to continue?" I looked at Archie. He shook his head.
"No thank you," I said politely. Marowak smiled.
"Alright, thank you for coming!" he said before leading us out.
"What do you want to do now?" I asked Archie. "I, personally, want to see if there's anything good at the Kecleon Market."
"Let's go there then," he said, and we headed over to the shop.
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
(A/N: Right here! This part is like the game. Just changed a little.) "Hello! Welcome to our shop!" they greeted.
"Hi!" I greeted them back. "What's new at the shop?" The green one smiled.
"Why we just got some beautiful ribbons and bows that just came in. Would you like one? Only 20 dollars!"
"We're having a sale on them!" the purple one chimed in.
"Let me see!" I said happily. I still had a bit of money on me, enough for the two of us.
"Let's see, how about these two blue ones?" I asked.
"Nice choice! Those are my favorites," the green one said as I handed him the money. Just then, a little Clefairy and Cleffa came over.
"Hello Mr. and Mr. Kecleon!" the Cleffa said, a girl from the sound of it.
"Ah! Little Clefairy and Cleffa! Welcome my young friends!" the green Kecleon greeted.
"Hello. May we have two Oran berries and an Apple, please?" the Clefairy asked, a boy.
"Why yes, of course!" the green Kecleon said he handed them the food.
"Thank you Misters Kecleon!" Cleffa giggled.
"No, no! Thank you, my young friends!" the purple Kecleon waved to them as they left.
"You see, those delightful children are siblings. They have taken over the shopping while their poor mother is sick," the purple Kecleon said to us.
"Misters Kecleon!" the Clefairy called as he and his younger sister ran back.
"Oh? What makes you return in such a rush?" the green Kecleon asked.
"There was an extra Apple!" the Cleffa said.
"We didn't pay for this many," the Clefairy said, handing back the Apple.
"Ah, but that is a gift from me and my brother! Keep it and enjoy!" the green Kecleon said kindly, pushing the Apple back towards them.
"Really?" Clefairy asked.
"Yay! Thank you!" Cleffa said. They then hurried away. As they were leaving, Cleffa tripped and dropped an Oran berry. Archie went over, and picked it up, then walked over to Cleffa and helped her up.
"Thank you," she said, taking back her berry. Archie suddenly looked dizzy, but it passed.
"Come on, Cleffa!" her brother called.
"Thanks again, bye!" Cleffa said, before following Clefairy. Archie continued to stare after Cleffa.
"Archie? Is something wrong?" I asked.
He turned. His face was pale. "No. I'm fine. C'mon, let's go pick a job." We walked off to the guild. Before we got there though, we ran into Cleffa and Clefairy again. They were talking with a Grumpig.
"Oh thank you Mr. Darth!" Cleffa said happily.
"No problem," the Grumpig chuckled.
Cleffa saw us walk up. "Oh hi!"
"Some time ago, we lost my sister's toy. We've been looking all over… but we haven't found it yet!" Clefairy explained. "Then Mr. Darth came along…"
"And he says he may have seen it somewhere!" Cleffa finished happily.
"He even offered to help us look for it. We're very happy about this!" Clefairy said.
"That's great you two!" I said, smiling.
"Thank you, Mr. Darth!" Cleffa said.
"How could I turn a blind eye to children? I'd have to have a cold heart to ignore two kids in need!" Darth purred. "Let us be on our way to begin our search!"
"Yup!" Clefairy and Cleffa said happily. As they walked off, Darth bumped into Archie.
"Whoops! Excuse me," he said politely. Archie looked dizzy again, but only briefly.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Fine," he muttered. He looked grim and pale. "Let's head back."
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
We headed back down to the boards, walked over to the Outlaw Notice Board, and were thinking over who to pick when a loud voice shouted, "Updating listings! Stand clear! Updating listings! Stand clear!"
"Wh-what's happening?" I asked.
"I think the data's being updated!" Archie said, when the panel suddenly flipped over. We stood there waiting, until the loud voice shouted, "Update complete! Stand clear! Update complete! Stand clear!" The panel flipped back over.
Archie started shaking as he looked at the board. "What is it?" I demanded. He ripped a piece of paper off the board, looking at it angrily, before he mumbled, "I knew it."
"What?" I asked.
"Look at this!" he shouted, shoving the paper in my hand. Depicted at the top was a Seviper and the Grumpig from earlier!
I looked at Archie. "Clefairy and Cleffa!"
"Clefairy's fine, it's Cleffa we've got to worry about," he said angrily.
"What?" I asked.
"Later! We have to rescue Cleffa!"
"Right." I put on my gem, with my new ribbon over it and handed Archie his ribbon, which he too tied around his neck. We ran out.
At the cross-roads, we saw Clefairy.
"Where are Cleffa and Darth?" I asked worriedly.
"After we all left, we went looking for Cleffa's toy… But I wound up all alone when Mr. Darth went somewhere with Cleffa. I called and called! But they didn't come back. I got really scared…"
"Which way did they go?" Archie asked.
"Follow me!" Clefairy said, and we rushed after him.
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{
We arrived at the bottom of Mt. Britsle.
"This way?" I asked. Clefairy nodded.
"They might be at the top by now," Clefairy said worriedly.
"Let's go, Lily!" Archie yelled.
Cliffie! How I love leaving a chapter in a cliffie. Hehe. I love how angry Archie was here, all moody and all. We'll see what happens next chapter. R&R!
