I am so sorry for not updating on this! I've had a really bad case of writers block for this story, but I promise I'm not dropping it! I have every intention of finishing it! Sorry for the short chapter, I know it sucks. But Like I said, writers block.. Sorry guys. I really am.

Chapter 6

You know, I really do love going on explorations and traveling and everything. But when the Pokemon you're traveling with decide to get into a heated argument that can take up to three hours to settle, it gets really annoying. Really fast. We had barely set foot outside the guild when Sunflora and Loudred started going at it.

Again.

For the third time since I had arrived at the guild this morning.

Trying to block out the sounds of them debating was absolutely worthless. Loudred never gets quiet enough to not hear him over anything, and Sunflora makes it a challenge to raise her voice so that it's even louder than Loudreds is. I really wouldn't have been surprised if they had woken Treasure Town with their racket. To be honest, I wouldn't have been surprised if they had woken up a town across the sea.

"Loudred, you are the loudest Pokemon in the entire world! You can never be quiet!"

"CAN TOO!"

"Can not!"

"CAN TOO!"

"Can not!"

I sighed in exasperation and ran up ahead to where Chatot and the Guildmaster were leading the group. Quickly falling into step beside them, I glanced over at Chatot. From the look of him, I could tell he was about ready to blow his top. Quickly, I engaged in a quick conversation to distract him. He's quite frightening when he gets angry! "So.." I began casually. "What are the groups for traveling to base? Or is there not any yet?"

"I haven't decided yet." His calm voice was forced. Not a good sign. "Do you have some in mind?"

I cringed and started firing off ideas. "Well, personally I'd like to travel with Bidoof. I also know that Corphish and Croagunk partner up pretty well. So that just leaves Chime-"

I was cut off by a fierce scream of rage from behind me. Spinning around, I caught a quick glance of something flying towards Sunflora. That something was Loudred's fist. Sunflora was furious, being knocked back in front of everyone. She started countering with Razor Leafs and Bullet Seeds. Wigglytuff ran back to calm the fighting.

After watching for a minute, I leaned down with a small smirk and whispered into Chatot's ear, "I also think that Sunflora and Loudred should be seperated for this trip."

Chatot's reply came back as a small hiss, "I couldn't agree more."

After a few more hours of traveling (The argument had stopped by the end of the first, thank Arceus), we came to a stop in front of Moonrise Cavern. This was one of the many obstacles we would have to overcome on our way to Midnight Forest, our final destination. Chatot pushed his way through the crowd and flapped his wings rapidly to get everyone's attention. He spoke.

"Ahem! I will now announce the groups that will travel together on our way to the camp sight. We will expect to meet in two days time, at the entrance to Apple Grove. Any one party who is not there at the expected time will be searched for by either the guildmaster or I. Unless you are injured seriously, do not expect to receive a warm welcome. Also, any items you find on your journies will be thoroughly inspected upon arrival. Are there any questions?"

The group stared at him in silence, so Chatot continued. "Very well. Without further ado, here are the groups. First, Chimecho, Sunflora, and Corphish!"

Sunflora and Chimecho giggled and whispered to each other in obvious glee. It was quite apparent that they had been expecting this. Corphish stood by, quietly. That was really strange. He was usually very chatty..

Chatot cleared his throat and the whispers stopped. He looked at us again. "The next group will consist of Croagunk and Loudred."

The two simply nodded at each other. Loudred was still a little angered at the fact that he had been arguing with Sunflora eariler, whereas Croagunk really didn't care. He never really cared where he was put.

Bidoof piped up from behind me, his voice carrying a slight bit of worry. "Uh, Chatot? What about me?"

I grinned. "What do you think, silly? You're coming with me, of course!"

That cheered him up considerably. I smiled as he trotted over to my side, his eyes brightening. I really liked traveling with him. Bidoof was one of the very first to accept Eevee and I to the guild when we first joined.

Chatot cleared his throat as a call for order. "You all have your instructions. We expect to see you in two days time. Make sure you aren't late. Move out!"

Everyone cheered. "Hooray!"


Review? Please? Again, I really am sorry..

Oh, right. Are there any Code Lyoko fans out there reading this? I'm just wondering, I'm starting to get really into the series.
