Chapter 2: The Four Seasons Guild

Grandfather was right, it took three days to reach Daylight Square.

It was quite beautiful too. There was a gorgeous fountain in the center with Milotic statues around it, as well as a multitude of colorful flowers surrounding its base.

There were all kinds of Pokémon here too, all smiling and laughing as they talked to each other. It was quite lively and cheerful, and just seeing all those cheerful faces made me happy.

"Excuse me, are you new here?" A voice asked.

Startled, I looked over to see a large pudgy Dragon with specks of goo dripping off of it.

Most of its body was a light lavender color while the underside was mauve. It had two kind, bright green eyes with two green spots on both sides of its face, and three others on the thick, curved tail. Two sets of antennae were perched atop the head; one set short, skinny, and standing up while the other set was long, thick, drooped downwards, and curved.

I think this Pokémon is called a Goodra.

"Um, yeah…"

The Goodra smiled. "Welcome to Daylight Square then. My name is Tsubaki, it's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Lucy." We shook hands, some of the goo from hers sticking onto mine.

"So Lucy, what brings you to Daylight Square?" She asked.

Honestly, the only reason I came here was because of my grandfather, but maybe Tsubaki knows where a Guild is.

"Do you happen to know where any Guilds are?"

Tsubaki's eyes gleamed. "Come with me, there's a list of Guilds hanging up near the Milotic fountain."

I nodded and followed her to the bulletin board that had different papers scattered across it. Surprisingly though, we were the only ones there.

Tsubaki pointed to a piece of paper. "There are lots of Guilds, but most only deal with a certain Type of Pokemon. There are a few that will accept any Type though. Since you're a Dual Type, you would only be able to join an all Types Guild, a Fighting Guild, or a Steel Guild."

Looking through the paper, I noted that Tsubaki was right; most of the Guilds on there were for specific Types.

Only Type Guilds

~Steel- The Ironworks Guild

~Fighting- The Martial Arts Guild

~Dragon- The Dragonmark Guild

~Fairy- The Fairy Tail Guild

~Water- The Flood Guild

~Fire- The Inferno Guild

~Grass- The Forest Guild

~Electric- The Lightning Guild

~Flying- The Heavens Guild

~Normal- The Neutrality Guild

~Dark- The Nightmare Guild

~Psychic- The Grace Guild

~Poison- The Toxic Guild

~Ground- The Underground Guild

~Rock- The Sturdy Guild

~Ghost- The Phantom Guild

~Bug- The Insect Guild

~Ice- The Frozen Guild

All Type Guilds

~The Four Seasons Guild

"Why is there only one Guild listed for all Types?" I asked.

"Well, there are other Guilds that recruit members of all Types, but most prefer to post in larger towns or squares. Another Guild known as the Starlight Guild was posted on here, but they took their name off the list just recently. During the night a few days ago, a band of unknown Pokémon destroyed the Guild. Since they're still repairing everything, they're not recruiting anyone right now." She stated.

"Oh…" Why would anyone attack a Guild, especially if it's full of strong Pokémon?

"Well then, have you figured out which of the three you would like to join?" The Goodra asked.

"Hm…" Honestly, a Guild designated to a certain Type seemed awfully boring, and having been around Fighting and Steel Pokémon my whole life, it didn't seem very appealing. An all Types Guild sounded very exciting. "The Four Seasons Guild."

Her smile brightened considerably. "Great, the Four Seasons Guild is located just outside Daylight Square. If you'll follow me, I can take you there."

"Thanks." I smiled.

"No problem." She chuckled.

"Hey, Tsubaki?" I asked, walking beside her.

"Yes?" The Goodra hummed.

"Why is everyone so cheerful?" Everywhere I looked, Pokémon were smiling and laughing. There wasn't even a single sad face as far as I could see.

"Hm…the Pokémon at Daylight Square are usually like this. Everyone here is just a ray of sunshine. Only by rare occasion will something bad happen here. With so many smiling faces the atmosphere is quite enjoyable." She grinned.

"Hm…" I've never seen so many happy faces before. The atmosphere was enjoyable, but it's strange to see not even one sad or mad face.

The rest of the walk was silent, well…except for Tsubaki's humming. Apparently Goodra were very friendly and loving, much unlike some species of Pokémon.

"We're here." She stopped as a giant building stood in front of us.

It was a castle made of grey stones. Four towers adorned the top of it, one on every corner. Four flags also stood atop each one, each of them depicting a seen of each season, spring, summer, fall, and winter. Completing the structure was a drawbridge that was currently down, providing access into the structure as a water filled moat lay beneath it.

"Well, what do you think?" Tsubaki gestured towards it.

"It's…it looks…amazing." It really was a grand structure; I wonder what it looked like on the inside.

The Goodra giggled. "It's even more amazing on the inside. Come on, let's go in."

I nodded as she started walking across the bridge and followed close behind.

Stepping inside the castle, I gaped in awe. There was red carpet that extended all through the long hallway and diamond chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Large stain glass windows adorned the hallway with red drapes at their sides.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Tsubaki grinned at me.

"Yea." It was breathtaking.

"This place belongs to Guildmaster Darian. His family is of royal descent. He's the only one left though, the rest of his family was murdered and he inherited the castle." The Goodra stated.

"His family was murdered? That's terrible…" I said sadly.

"Yea, it was a tough time for him. After a time he stepped down from his role as prince and opened up the Guild." Tsubaki explained.

"Wow…did they ever catch the murders?" I asked.

"Yea, Darian caught them himself two years later." She nodded.

We now entered a large room where about maybe two-dozen Pokémon stood around bulletin boards.

It was decorated the same way as the previous hallway and also had golden candleholders spaced out among the walls as well.

Following Tsubaki, she approached a Braixen. "Hello, Miss Blair." She greeted.

"Hello, Tsubaki." She nodded back. Her eyes then rested on me. "Oh? Who's this? A new recruit?"

"Yes ma'am. This is Lucy." She introduced me.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Lucy. As you've heard already, my name is Blair." The Braixen smiled, shaking my hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Blair." I smiled back.

Miss Blair nodded. "Let me take you to Guildmaster Darian. Tsubaki, you may come too."

"Ok. Come on Lucy." She waved towards me as her and the Braixen started to walk away.

Nodding, I followed them to a large door that had all kinds of intricate designs carved into it.

Miss Blair knocked on the big door. "Guildmaster Darian, it's Blair. May I come in?"

"You may enter." A deep voice sounded from across the other side.

Miss Blair opened up the door and we all stepped in.

Getting a close look at the Guildmaster, I now understood the name of 'Four Seasons'. Darian was a Sawsbuck and was in his Spring Form.

"Hello, Guildmaster Darian. Tsubaki has brought a new recruit."

"Hm? What's your name?" The Sawsbuck looked me over.

"Lucy." I replied.

"Well, Lucy, you don't seem like a suspicious Pokémon. Welcome to the Four Seasons Guild."

I wasn't actually sure how to end this chapter, but I guess this part'll do.
