Chapter 4: Induction

"Guildmaster! Guildmaster!" Chatot sighed in agony. "Of all the times for him to be sleeping..."

Of course after Chatot said that, the Guilmaster worke up!

"Ah Chatot!" As the guildmaster spoke (somewhat muffled behind the door), Chatot flinched!

"Ummmm, what a suprise, Guildmaster, these two kids decided to just show up today without advance notice, could you have a word with them?"

A muffled "Sure!" could be heard from behind the door.

"The Guildmaster has some words to speak with you." Chatot opened the door.

Andy and muddy crept into the room, the Guildmaster was in his chair, the back of said chair turned towards the two Pokemon kids. Both of them looked at the back of the chair. There was an awkward and eerie silence in the room.

Muddy looked petrified to say the least. "pssssst, muddy, stay calm." The chair turned around, revealing the guildmaster.


"Hiya, I'm Guildmaster Wigglytuff!" He was an odd one alright. But he at least seemed somewhat friendly, and not stern like Chatot. "so what brings you kids in here today?"

"Well we are here to form an exploration team, of course." Muddy said with pride.

"And your assistaint told us to talk to you, Guildmaster." Said Andy.

Wigglytuff didn't even filnch. In fact, he was more than happy to invite them in.

"Great! Now what is your team's name?" Muddy and Andy didn't stop twice to think of that. They both laughed somewhat nervously.

"Alrighty then, I will have the Meowth sigh everything here." Andy walked over. "Sure guildmaster. " He filled registered the team's information...except for the name.

"Ummmm Muddy?" Andy tapped his friends shoulder. "Muddy? The team name? We don't have a name yet?"

Muddy's vaccant expression faded rapidly about a second later. "I got it! How about Team PokePaws?"

Andy looked at him in a funny way and remarked "That's kinda corny, but I guess it fits. Remember the comedy act under the grate?" The scratch cat pokemon grinned gleefully. Then the both laughed and shook paws.

"Well, is this the name you both agree with?"

Both of them nodded their heads.

"Then Team Pokepaws it is. YOOOOM-TAH!"


"Chatot? Show them to their new room, okay?" Chatot flinched in horror. Those kids got a spot in the Guild? But how?! After mocking the sentires for failing to identify a Meowth?!

"Guildmaster Wigglytuff? Why are these two numbnuts in these premises anyway?" Chatot was confused. He was horrified to hear that Team Pokepaws was now an exploration team.

"...WHAT?! You GAVE THEM BADGES AND EVERYTHING?!"

"Yep!"

"But they are just kids!"

"So?"

Chatot pretty much had a meltdown over this situation; eventually Loudred had to step in to calm the bird down. Soon, some of the other guild members began to welcome the newcomers. The pokemon all began to socialize and chat. They had two new members! The rukkus and chaos lasted for hours as Muddy and Andy met their new friends.

Things didn't even quiet down until everyone went to bed that night. Little did the new recruits know, it would be a long day tomorrow...

Author's notes: I have been having some family drama recently; couple this with the fact that I really didn't enjoy writing this chapter, and you got a perfect excuse not to post a new chapter until now.
