Chapter 2: A Mudkip With Many Questions

Where did this Meowth come from, anyway?

Why did I find him just laying on the beach?

Was he really a human this whole time?

If so, why has he lost almost all of his memories?

Has he even met a Pokemon before?

Muddy's questions more or less went unanswered for the most part. Of course, that really should be expected of someone who lost most of their memory. Not to mention changed species without explanation or an established cause. All Andrew knew was that he was a Meowth now. With some Mudkip kid asking him stuf he could not recall.

Muddy was confused. "So the earliest thing you 100% remember was finding yourself injured in my dwelling space?!"

"Yes, Muddy, I cannot think back any further. I know I head memories before, but I just cannot remember them!"

Muddy finally accepted that his new friend (and roommate) had no choice but to start his life all over again. Of course, Andrew accepted this fact too, albeit with some remorse over never finding out who he truly used to be. But was it the end of the world for him? Of course not! He knew he needed to start over. It was his only option.

Muddy also had one last question to ask Andrew.

"Andrew?"

Andrew's ears perked up, and he paid attention to muddy.

"Would you mind if I called you Andy? It just seems more fitting for this world."

Andrew agreed, and shook paws with his friend. "I'm fine with that. And I do agree with you."

Andy also had one other thing to say:

"You saved my life Muddy. I owe you one. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Muddy had one idea in mind. An idea that could change the course of their newfound relationship. One that could set the stage for an exciting life full of adventure and wonder. Muddy asked if Andy wanted to form an Exploration Team with him.

"What? What's that?" Andy of course had no clue what it was. So Muddy gave him a speech.

"Ever since I was young I wanted to become an explorer, to travel around the world, and to make the grandest discoveries ever made. It all started when I was very young." Muddy pulled his treasure out of his poket. "I found this one day when I was at the beach where I always hang out. It's my personal treasure, my only non-essential possession. One day I hope to find out what it means, Andy. Nearby is a local guild for explorers, where exploration teams can be formed. Therefore, it is required that you join the guild ot become an explorer, and form an exploration team."

Andy was rather intrigued by Muddy's ambitions.

"But...I'm scared..." Muddy shuddered a little. "There's just something about the guild that intimidates me. It's like I need someone to help me out. Andy, would you form a team with me at the guild?"

Andy knew he owed Muddy for saving his life. And with nothing else to do in this new world, he accepted.

By the time they finished talking that day, it was about 9:00 at night; Andy said to his new friend, "Tomorrow we will join the guild. It's our destiny."

"Hell yeah it is!" Muddy shook hands with Andy and exchanged high fives, or at least the Pokemon equivalents of such. "It's time to start our journey. Once and for all."

And so, Muddy and Andy began their careers as explorers that night. It was the start of a journey of wonder and adventure!
