AN: Hi Guys! I have another Chapter up! Sorry if this seems short to any of you! Like I said I'll try to lengthen the short chapters by adding to the story! Who knows what else I could come up with?

Disclaimer: Go Pokéball! It Failed?! Why?! Oh, I know, it's because I don't own anything…

Chapter 6

Mornings were supposed to be calm. Get up and get straight to work was usually the idea. To start the day busy so you're ready for the night. Pokémon all around do it whether it is exploring, training, or even working. Of course not everyone knows when it is break time.

"Shadow! You must lay down and rest!" Shine yelled at Shadow as she tried to get up the next morning.

"I don't need to!" Shadow insisted. A little incident with poison wasn't going to keep her down. She felt like she was a poison. However, their yelling was not missed as Blaze came in hearing the chatter.

"Thought I heard you up and here I thought you'd be happy to sleep in," Blaze joked.

"Shut up," Shadow growled in a joking manner. Despite it was true she didn't need to be reminded.

"Why do you have to be a pain?" Blaze asked.

"Because it's me." She explained. There wasn't much else to say about it. It was Shadow. She always wondered if she acted this before turning into a Pokémon.

"True, but Shine is right, you need to rest," Blaze agreed with the newest apprentice.

"No I don't, I'm fine." Shadow denied as she tried to get up, but it was clear her legs were shaking. "See." She said that with a smug look, but her eyes then showed an 'uh oh' look as she collapsed.

"That didn't look like it." Shine laughed.

Shadow only glared at the Eevee before admitting, "Fine." She then laid down and put her head down and puffed out and dirt next to the bed. She didn't seem happy. She was a Pokémon of action.

"Okay Shine," Blaze said getting her attention after the morning briefing, "for today I want you to get acquainted with Treasure Town more and the other explorers that have made their base in the area. You can learn a lot from and not just Shadow."

"Okay!" Shine said happily as she ran toward the ladder. As she reached the second floor a group of Pokémon by the boards caught her attention. The trio consisted of a Baltoy, a Natu, and a Chingling.

"So team, what should we do today?" the Baltoy asked.

"Maybe this one," Natu said pointing up to a job at the lower part of the board. Shine decided to take Blaze's advice. Shadow could only teach her so much. She had to part of the training on her own. She guessed that was why Shadow only wanted to meet once a week.

"Hi." Shine said going up to the group.

"Hi." They greeted back. They seemed nice of enough.

"I'm Shine, an apprentice here." She introduced herself.

"I'm Bail and this is Xana and Ching. We're Team Future," the Baltoy replied. It was clear to her he was the leader.

"That's cool!" Shine said. The only other team she met besides them was DarkFire.

"Are you alone?" Ching asked in a sweet song voice.

"Yeah I guess so. I don't go out with my mentor today." Shine explained. What did she have with Shadow? She was her mentor and Shine was part of the Guild.

"Having a team is rewarding." Xana chirped. "We there for each other and makes what do easier."

"Thanks! I'll look into it!" Shine said realizing if she wanted to be great she didn't have to be alone. She should what she learns.

"Let's go team!" Bail announced as the Team Future left to whatever job they took on.

"I wonder who I could ask..." Shine thought to herself. She then had a spark of an idea. With the word spark being a key word. It would benefit her friends greatly. She was shy and enclose. Shine just knew if she could convince her to join she would be grateful. Quickly she ran out of the Guild and toward the other side of town. As soon as she reached the front she knocked.

"I got it!" a voice said. The door open to reveal Pulse, her Pikachu friend. "Shine!"

"Hi Pulse!" Shine said with a grin. Pulse knew that grin only meant one thing…trouble or that Shine wanted something that only lead to trouble.

"What do you want?" Pulse asked kind of not meaning to sound rude.

"I want to first apologize for dragging you into trouble, but I have a huge favor to ask!" Shine apologized before asking. She decided she was going to pull a Blaze.

"What?" she asked the normal type.

"Will you join me in an exploration team? I'm an apprentice at the Guild and another team said having a team is great! So Please!?" Shine begged. Shine wouldn't beg and plead if it wasn't important to her.

"What?!" Pulse said acting like Shadow in the past situation, "I don't know..."

"Please! You're my best friend and I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else!" Shine said revealing to Pulse what she thought. Shine valued their friendship. Pulse was always there for her even when they got into trouble. Pulse may like to avoid issues, but wasn't afraid to jump to solve one if it meant helping someone.

"Shine..." Pulse adored.

"You can is you want dear, I won't stop you." Raia, the Raichu, said to her daughter.

"Mama!" Pulse gasped that her mother had been listening in the entire time.

"You need to do something instead of being cooped up in the house. Just promise me you'll be safe and train hard!" Raia said. Shine always liked Raia. She understood the child needs to get and explore their options with what they want to do with their lives.

"Thank you Mama!" Pulse said hugging her mother.

"Awesome!" Shine said excited and hoped all this was okay. As soon as Raia made sure Pulse was set they ran off back to Guild to inform Blaze of the choice that was being made.

"Guildmaster Blaze!" Shine shouted running up to the Typhlosion.

"Yes?"

"Two questions, how's Shadow?" Shine asked. She had been worried about Shadow since she decided to attempt to get up that morning.

"Asleep finally." Blaze breathed out in frustration. It has taken hours to get to fall asleep since the incident this morning. Shadow was determined not to let anything stop her. After she tried to escape around lunch Blaze had asked both Sunflora and Chimecho about putting Shadow to sleep. They were reluctant at first, but after the third escape attempt they complied. Blaze also had said he would deal with Shadow when she woke up. "And?"

"Can Pulse join me as my partner and be a fellow apprentice! Just like you were to Shadow!" Shine asked eagerly as Pulse nodded in agreement.

Blaze looked a little insulted by her words and mentioned, "I don't think it went that way..."

"That's not what she said, she said you forced her because you were..." Shine continued about what she had heard from Shadow.

Blaze knew he lost when he was competing with Shadow with Shine. The Eevee was one hundred percent dedicated to the Umbreon so he stopped her before she could ramble, "Alright, this isn't story time as this is business. Sure, young and willing are always welcome! I hereby make Pulse a member of this Guild." Blaze then released a Flamethrower and asked, "Now, what's your team name?

The younger Pokémon looked at each other blankly. Neither had thought about a team name. Shine felt like a total rookie having not remembered that she needed a team name.

"Well...how about Team Luminous!" Shine voiced. Pulse thought about what all they talked about before.

"I like it!" Pulse echoed.

"Alright, you will be registered as Team Luminous!" Blaze said as he released a slightly stronger flame. He looked at the new team and couldn't help, but feel proud. All this was happening while he was in control of the Guild. That must have meant he was doing a good job. That was what he was worried about, not being good enough. The smiles on the new recruit's faces said it all as they cheered for the start of their team.

AN: Here is Chapter 6! Yah! Shine and Pulse are Team Luminous! I actually changed the name of their team because it gave spoilers to what Shine was going to involve into. So sorry! If you have an idea go ahead and guess when you leave a Review! Chapter 7 will be up in the future!

Preview: Now that Team Luminous has joined the Guild another group of Pokémon feels they want to be the anti-hero to them. They decide they too want to join! Shadow finally gets to leave the Guild, what is she up to? And what ideas are in store of them?
