The two Riolu stared each other down. They were sitting at opposite ends of the room from each other, but were both there for the same reason. For some reason, seeing another one of these species, made them feel slightly uneasy.
"Um… Justin next please," called Gigi. She had popped her head out of the Perplexer's door to see who was still in the waiting room. It had been a long day of interviews to decide who the next Pokémon team would be made of.
One of the Riolu, the one wearing the navy blue scarf, stood up and walked into the office after Gigi, leaving only two Pokémon left in the waiting room; the other Riolu and a Mareep.
"I'm Riku," said the Riolu, introducing himself to the Mareep.
He didn't receive a response though.
"Hello, anyone there."
The Mareep blinked and awoke from her daydream. "Yrros, em saw gnimaerdyad."
"Why are you speaking backwards?" asked Riku. He laughed a little, but was slightly concerned.
"How do you know that I was speaking backwards, and you weren't?" The woolly Pokémon laughed to itself, "Sorry about that, it was just a thought to me. My names Yttim, I mean Mitty."
The two laughed.
"You nervous?" asked Riku, shuffling along the couch closer to Mitty.
"Sorry what?" said Mitty, snapping out of yet another daydream.
"You never listen do you?"
"But today isn't Wednesday, is it?" said the sheep in total randomness.
It was then that Mitty was called in for her interview, as Gigi popped her head out again. Justin, the blue scarfed Riolu walked out of the office and out of the building. He was smiling, which scared Riku.
Smiling meant that the interview went well, and if the interview wet well then Justin was bound to get a place on a team. And if Justin was going to get a place on a team, then there was less chance of Riku getting a place.
Maybe Riku was overthinking it. Mitty had got him all confused with her backwards speaking and he was so stressed out he couldn't think. Maybe Riku just needed a…
CRASH!
The double door that lead into the waiting door swung open as a Pokémon flew threw them. The Minccino had tripped on some wiring and was now sliding across the room, landing pretty near the office door.
"You don't want to go in their yet, not until they're ready for you," said Riku, helping the poor Pokémon. "They want to set it up for all the Pokémon."
The Minccino listened to Riku, scrambled away from the door to where Riku was sitting.
"The names Riku," said the Riolu, holding out a paw to help the Mincocco up.
The Minccino turned away in disgust, "If you must know, the names Kenny."
"Oh," said a startled Riku.
"Oh what?" snapped Kenny, turning his head to reveal his growling face.
"It's just…I thought you were a girl."
There was an awkward silence, that Riku wasn't sure if he should fill. Riku only meant the comment as a joke, and expected Kenny to be ok with it.
Kenny's growl grew stronger, until his face was a bright red.
"I am a male! I f**king male! Got it!" screamed Kenny, before he walked to the other side of the room and sat down in the same place that Justin had sat it.
Mitty bounced out of the office with the same smile Justin had. Riku gulped (thinking again of what he thought when Justin left the office) and stood up expecting to go into the office now.
"Kenny," chimed Gigi.
Kenny, who had slightly cooled off, jumped up and walked into the office. Riku sighed, and sat back down. How much longer did he have to wait!
…
Four days after the Interviews...
Riku walked the streets of Hallow City with pride, holding his ticket to the big time in his right hand. He held it tightly, as it was extremely precious.
The document detailed that Riku the Riolu had been accepted in the Perplex school as team leader of a team called Team Tail.
When he made it to the large gates of the, the Diglett at the door let him in with a smile. He felt pride, he felt proud, he felt,
"You!"
Riku heard a low pitch growl from behind his back. It was a loud, and caught the attention of the Diglett. Riku slowly turned to face the growl. It was Kenny, the Mincocco.
"Why are you here?"
Riku held the letter up to show Kenny, who showed his letter up as well.
"You better not be in Team Tail!" snapped Kenny.
Riku just shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"Ugh!"
Kenny marched past Riku and walked up the stairs to the academy door, leaving Riku only to follow.
…
"You four, as you already know, have been put together in the academies newet adventure team!"
The Cobalion had a smile stretched from ear to ear, as the team that stood in front of him were by far the most promising. The four Pokémon were sitting in the same seats Team Star and Team Ace of Spades had been sitting in, only two weeks earlier.
"Riku, you are the captain of this team!" he pronounced. The Riolu looked quite happy with the news. The Mincocco sitting two seats down however, wasn't. He made a low grumbling noise and murmured soothing about how it was 'unfair.'
"Silver, the role of second in command goes to you."
The Mienfoo smiled at the news. Silver was a shiny Mienfoo, and the youngest in the group. He had aimed for third in command, and was over the moon with the news. He was sitting in the seat in-between Kenny and Riku. From one side Silver received a supportive smile. On the other, a angry glare.
"Kenny, third in command is yours."
Kenny shrugged and dropped the glare. At least it wasn't fourth.
"Twilight, you're the teams fourth member."
Twilight smiled, the Absol was expecting it. Although the Pokémon in her team were relatively smaller than her, they all looked extremely powerful. Twilight next to Kenny in the line. She was a powerful Pokémon (the focus sash she wore only made her stronger) but she felt she wasn't powerful enough.
"Team Tail is born!" Cobalion said. He stood from his seat and congratulated the team with a bow. I respect, the newly formed team returned to favour.
ANOTHER SHORT CHAPTER.
Woops…
Anyways, say hello to team Tail, and a new Arc.
Wool Arc
The Moven arc was actually all about Moven Town, and not Moven Mountain (MINDFUCK!) and finished with the boss battle against King Muk.
The Wool Arc will concern the next two teams, who are Team Tail and (Get Ready!) TEAM FLUFFY.
Mitty was one of my favourite characters submitted, so this whole arc will be about her team, Team Fluffy, starting out. Team Tail will obviously also feature, and they will be going on a mission pretty soon.
Onto the questions:
Last time I asked, who you thought Dusk was, and it was really hard. Puttylol got it right, as Dusk was a character I submitted to her PMD story.
Mitchell was another member who was in the same team and Dusk, but I loved Dusk the best.
This story is set after her one, about twenty years to be exact. I noticed that some Pokémon here, were also submitted there, let's just say there really similar, ok!
I also asked which species of Pokémon who thought Mitty and that were, and some of you got it right, so congrats.
A huge thanks to Puttylol, who not only submitted Mitty, but is also doing the new cover to this story, hopefully!
No questions this time, but do tell me if you like the new characters or not! Also, does anyone have any questions for me. I have about twlever asked, and am thinking about a Q/A chapter, so ask away!
KC, or is it CK
