The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series of games are owned by Gamefreak and Nintendo and are not my property.
I own 2 OCs in this, that being the main character Pokemon in the Time, Darkness, Sky games and their partner. Their names will be Trish the Vulpix and Maxi the Mawile and the story will be told by Trish's POV.
If I add any new OCs, I will introduce them with their names in bold.
With this out of the way, let's begin.


Chapter 11

After we delivered our Perfect Apples to Wigglytuff, he was immensely happy at the fact that he got one... though he didn't seem to like the taste, which was probably because of the gas. " Bleck... this Perfect Apple doesn't really taste too perfect..." Wigglytuff frowned, placing the apple in a small vat of water before taking another bite of it. "Ah... that's better... I wonder why my Perfect Apple would taste like that..." he pondered. "Uh... we literally just told you, Guildmaster. Team Skull sprayed Team Icy Steel with a noxious gas and some of it got on the Perfect Apples," Chatot frowned at him. "Huh? Team Skull did that?" he asked with a pout. "Yes, so we're punishing them by making sure they don't eat dinner with us for the remainder of their stay here," Chatot frowned at him. "Very well. That's a good punishment to give them... besides, I had a sneaking suspicion of who would've eaten all my Perfect Apples last night..." Wigglytuff frowned. As badly as we wanted to bust Team Skull for doing that as well, we had no solid proof that they did it, so we had to simply accept their current punishment. Our duo went to sleep that night after a little bit of scary stories with the other members.


"Chief... I'm so hungry..." Zubat groaned at his stomach grumbling. "Those damn Icy Steel girls are the reason we're not able to eat that great food anymore... we need to make them pay!" Koffing grumbled. "Boys, I can't believe I'm saying this, but we probably went to far too soon this time. We're still a part of the expedition, so we'll simply stick with them and play by the rules. And then, once we find the treasure on our way out, we'll swipe it and skedaddle out before they catch on. But we need to be careful of our words and our actions until then, or we may be kicked off the expedition entirely. Got it?!" Skuntank growled at his two lackeys. "Fine... I'm still hungry though..." Koffing groaned. "So am I. You think it's any easier for me? I'm bigger than both of you combined, so don't start complaining unless you're my size," Skuntank scoffed. "Just try and go to sleep... we can stock up on food at some point tomorrow so we can eat a normal dinner on our own," Skuntank sighed. "We'll plot more during the expedition... for now, just suck it up and go to sleep... I swear we'll make Maxi and Trish pay for it one day..."


The next day, I awoke to the sunrise instead of Loudred, and was able to get both myself and Maxi up before he arrived, which we could tell made Loudred surprised when he saw this. "Well, well! Looks like SOMEONE is eager to WAKE UP EARLY!" Loudred smiled at us. "Of course," I smirked at him as we went out of our room and immediately went to morning briefing, where I saw that Team Skull wasn't really doing too hot. Skipping dinner could do that to you, especially if it was a punishment. "I want to make an announcement," Wigglytuff smiled. "In the next few coming days, probably on Saturday, I will decide who all is coming on the expedition. I hope we all have fun with our jobs until then!" he said happily. "Okay everyone, let's get to work as usual!" Chatot smiled. "HOORAY!" we all exclaimed, Team Skull trying their hardest to do so without grumbling.

"Ah, you two," Chatot smiled at us. "I would like it if you could do a special job for us today," Chatot said to us. "A special job? Like what?" Maxi asked him with a frown as she adjusted her headband a bit. "Well, as you know, our Guildmaster can be... a bit eccentric at times. Last night, he happened to lose a very, VERY important item to him. It's an item that he cherishes above all else. I need you to try and find out where it could've gone," Chatot explained to us. "Really? An item that Wigglytuff thinks is the most valuable treasure to him? Like my Relic Fragment," Maxi said with a smile, Team Skull already having left. I guess they learned their lesson not to mess with us anymore. "According to what he said, the Guildmaster was taking a walk around in Spinda's Cafe last night and he thinks he may have dropped it somewhere in that place. Once you have completed this task, if there is still time left, you can look up jobs on the boards and complete them before the day is over," Chatot smiled at us. "One fetch quest coming up... but what's the item in question?" I asked. "A Defend Globe."

Maxi noted what he said and we were off on our way to find the Defend Globe, seeing that Team Skull was simply looking up jobs on the bulletin board in the meantime. I made sure to look their way in case I saw anything they had on them that looked suspicious, but saw they had basically nothing notable on their person. We continued out the top of the door and made our way to the Cafe, where we immediately made our way to Spinda, who was a red-spotted Pokemon with swirly eyes and a happy expression on her dizzy face. "Nice to see you again, Team Icy Steel! What can I blend for you today?" Spinda asked. "Actually, we aren't here looking for a drink. Our boss dropped a Defend Globe in here yesterday and we need to know if you've seen it," Maxi asked her.

"A Defend Globe?!... Uh-oh..." Spinda gawked with a bit of anxiety on her face. "Um... what do you mean 'uh-oh'? Did something happen to it?" I asked her. "W-Well... you see... Wynaut found it on the ground and thought it was a good idea to recycle it, so he put it in the recycle bin... and it went to a patron that named herself Jasminder. She happens to be a Leavanny that is living with Duskull at his bank currently. I recommend you visit Duskull's bank in order to find her," Spinda said. "Thanks for the information. Let's get going, Maxi," I said.

We left the cafe and immediately headed for Duskull's bank, where we happened to see a new face that we knew had to be Leavanny. She had yellow skin for her face, feet, and other parts of her body with leaves covering the rest so that it made her look like she was wearing a dress of sorts. She also had two antennae that protruded out the top of her head and had very cute red eyes. "Ah, nice to see you again, young ones... how may I help? Heehee..." Duskull smiled. "We were actually hoping to speak to Leavanny about something, do you mind?" I asked. "Oh? You wish to see me?" the Pokemon smiled. "My name is Jasminder. What's your names?" she asked with a smile. "Well, I'm Maxi, and this is Trish. But we wanted to ask... did you recently get a Defend Globe?" Maxi asked her.

"H-How'd you know that?! I literally just got it a few moments ago at the cafe!" she smiled as she took it out of a hiding spot underneath her leafy dress, showing that it looked to be a small spherical object that had a picture of a bug Pokemon's pincers on it. "Well, we'd like to ask if we could possibly have it back?... See, it belongs to our Guildmaster. He accidentally dropped it in the cafe yesterday and they put it in the recycling... we just want to return it to him as soon as possible," I explained. "Guildmaster Wigglytuff? I see... w-well... I only got this so I could be good at battling... I'm very fragile when it comes to fights, you see, especially concerning fire type Pokemon... I wanted this Defend Globe because I thought it might help me out in the future... what should I do?..." she said with absolute worry on her face. I looked at Maxi and she looked at me. We were definitely thinking the same thing. "Well, Jasminder, I have a small suggestion I'd like to make," I smiled at her. "Yes? What is it?" she asked back. "Our guild is going to be going on an expedition to find treasure and we are most certainly going to be doing a lot of training to get there. If you'd like, you could join our exploration team and we could talk to our Guildmaster about adding you on as an apprentice for our exploration team. In return, you'd have to give the Defend Globe back to Wigglytuff," I offered.

Jasminder looked at me with giant eyes of tears and looked to be very happy. "Y-You're asking me to join you... so I can be strong? You think you could really do that?" she smiled widely. "Yes, we are. We're both very strong, despite our sizes. We've taken out multiple criminal Pokemon, dealt with vicious gas attacks, and many more dangerous stuff. And we have yet to fail any mission," Maxi smiled. "Then it's a deal! I'll come with you right away!" Jasminder smiled. "Great! Then let's get going!" I smiled. "Farewell, Mister Duskull! Thanks for looking after me for just a little bit," Jasminder smiled. "Anything for my friends, Jasminder," he said with a happy voice as she gathered her stuff in a knapsack and we headed off to the guild with a smile... but there was one thing we had to do first.

"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!" Diglett exclaimed as Leavanny stepped on the grate. "Whose footprint? Whose footprint?" Loudred asked right back. "The footprint is... Leavanny's! The footprint is Leavanny's!" Diglett said, taking awhile to figure it out. "... You may enter!" Loudred said as the gates rose and we were allowed to let her in. "We'll lead you inside so we can speak with Wigglytuff," I smiled at her as we proceeded down the ladder and soon appeared in the first floor, where we were immediately met with Chatot. "It's very rare that we get visitors from outside our region... may I ask what a Leavanny is doing here?" Chatot asked. "Well... I wish to become an apprentice at this guild... alongside Trish and Maxi's team... please?" Jasminder smiled. "Huh? A new apprentice wanting to join up with our newest members? Sounds very intriguing! May I ask why that is?" Chatot asked. "It's because we made a deal... they promised to make me tougher if I were to give back an item that I accidentally received from the recycle shop... it belongs to the Guildmaster, apparently," Jasminder explained, her voice being incredibly shy. "You mean... you managed to find the Defend Globe?! High praise to that! The Guildmaster will be so happy to hear this!" Chatot smiled as he led us down to the lower levels of the guild and we approached Wigglytuff's room.

"Guildmaster? Great news! We found it! Can you let us in?" Chatot asked with a smile at the door. "W-What? M-My precious treasure?!" Wigglytuff exclaimed as he opened the door and barged into us, looking quite happy indeed. "Yay! Yippee! Where is it?" he asked with a bubbly air about him. "It's right here... I accidentally got it from the recycle shop... apologies, Guildmaster Wigglytuff," Jasminder said with shyness in her voice. "Oh my, that does sound troubling... it doesn't look hurt or anything... whew... I thought it would've been lost forever... THANK YOU!" Wigglytuff smiled as he cried a few tears and hugged Leavanny, which surprised her at first, but she eventually hugged back when she saw that Wigglytuff was actually squishier than a pillow. "Also, Guildmaster, there is one more thing that we'd like to address," Chatot said. "Yes, what is it?" Wigglytuff smiled. "Jasminder, the Leavanny, wishes to join our exploration team as apprentices of this guild... would you allow that, please?" I smiled at him. Wigglytuff smiled at that. "Of course! Registering new member... registering... YOOMTAH!" he exclaimed, the hyper voice actually spooking Jasminder a bit.

"Eeep!" she gulped at the sudden outburst. "Congratulations! You are now a member of this guild and a member of Team Icy Steel!" Wigglytuff smiled widely. "Well then, it's settled! Welcome to the team, Jasminder!" I smiled at her. "T-Thank you... b-but please, don't spook me like that again, Mister Wigglytuff, please?" she asked politely. "Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to scare you... my hyper voice is just a bit... special, you could say... I tend to practice it out of sheer exploration habit, even when I'm not exploring," he smiled innocently. "I see... so you were that young prodigy that I'd heard of back then... the young exploration prodigy, Wigglytuff, who was the apprentice under the explorer Armaldo, correct?" Jasminder smiled. "Oh! You know the stories? Yay! We can talk about them anytime you wish," Wigglytuff smiled with a little happy dance of his own. But I just knew I had to hear this story. How did Wigglytuff become who he was today? I guessed I would ask Jasminder or Wigglytuff that question at some point in the future.
