As Anter and Noa looked up to the larger and possibly strong Pokémon in front of them, they could hear in the distance The guildmaster going on about something involving respecting the higher ups in the guild and stuff like that. Anter only caught about a third of it since he was still in a daze of how big the charmander was compared to one's he had seen before.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" Zip asked the two as he reached up to his face. Anter and Noa remained in their daze, stay quiet, mouths still open in shock. "Yo guy's hello~~!" Zip said as he waved a hand in front of their faces.
Anter was first to respond "You're huge…" He mumbled, his eyes still planted on the larger Pokémon.
Zip laughed a bit at this and rubbed the Shinx's head. "You'll get used to I promise." said chuckling lightly as he looked over at the guildmaster as he dismissed the newly formed teams. "Well then, now that we're done here how about I take you guys on a tour of the town around the guild?" Zip asked as he looked back to his new teammates. Anter and Noa nodded as they started to get used to the fact their team leader was about three times their size. Zip turned and walked back to the large door that lead to the large spiral staircase. Anter followed after with Noa staying in the back of the line. After they climbed up the stair way and made it back outside Zip stopped and looked around.
"What's up?" Anter asked as he walked up to Zip's side, looking up at the taller pokemon.
"Gary's not here. He was supposed to be on guard duty." Zip said as he sniffed the air.
"Who's Gary?" Anter asked curiously as he tilted his head in confusion. Zip looked back and chuckled a bit at him.
"Oh you'll meet him soon enough." He said smirking as he proceeded down the hill to the road that lead to the town. Anter and Noa looked at each other in confusion before following their leader.
As the group reached the base of the hill Anter had taken to the front of the line, being the overly excited Shinx he was. "Come on! You guys are so slow!" He called back to his teammates.
"It's not that we're slow it's that your too fast." Zip told the boy as he walked up to him, Noa following right behind.
"What's the difference?" Anter said looking at his new leader with a puzzled look on his face.
"It means you should slow down to meet our pace instead of forcing us to keep up with you." He said as he walked past him. "Just a bit of advice for the future." He said looking back over his shoulder at Anter and Noa, who were admiring his sense of wisdom… least till a semi-deep female voice called out to them.
"Don't let that knuckle headed fool you. He's nothing but a power obsessed pervert." An Absol called out to them as she walked down the steps, following behind her was a Growlithe and a Blaziken.
"Shut it Lilly!" Zip growled at the Absol as his hands clenched tight in a fist. Lilly merely laughed a bit at him and replied.
"I'll shut up when you can beat me in fight. And we both know that's not going to happen anytime soon now is it?" She said with a slight smirk as she walked up to him and began to stare him down, her eyes were a dark purple and their gaze was enough to send shivers down Zip's spine.
"Look at him he's shaking! The kids scared of her!" The Growlithe said with a laugh as he walked up next to Lilly and looked down at the Charmander. Zip glared at him, his fist shaking violently, ready hit him right in his muzzle, and he would if the Blaziken didn't interrupt.
"Why wouldn't he be? After all, Lilly nearly killed him last time." He said as he walked up on the other side of Lilly looking down at Zip with a smirk on his face. Anter and Noa both held a puzzled look as the group slandered their leader with insults.
"So are these little pipsqueaks supposed to be your team?" Lilly said as she past Zip and looked down on Noa and Anter, the Blaziken and Growlithe following after her, Noa's eye twitching a little from being called a pipsqueak.
"They look like they'd run home to their mamma's crying after going on their first mission." The Growlithe chuckled as he looked down at Noa with a smirk as the Blaziken kneed down at Anter with a similar smirk.
"Hehehe, why don't you do yourself a favor and go home already, save yourself the humiliation of failing horribly here." He taunted Anter and started poking at his cheek with his sharp claw a bit too hard for Anter's liking. With a growl Anter bit down on the Blaziken's hand hard, his feline teeth digging into his skin and refusing to let go. The Blaziken let out a scream of pain as he began to run around trying to force Anter to fall off his hand. "Get him off me guy's hurry!" He yelled to his teammates.
"Then hold still damn it!" Lilly yelled back as she prepared to use nightshade, moving her head to the side and waited for when the Blaziken stopped before bringing her head back fast enough for a gust of wind to follow her motion. Anter immediately let go of the Blaziken and jumped back and watched as the clueless fool tried to chase after him, not knowing he was now in the direct line of fire of the oncoming night shade.
"Blayze watch out!" The Growlithe shouted too late as the Blaziken received a direct hit from the night shade and was flying into a tree that snapped in half when he hit it, falling just on the other side of it. "Why you little-!" The Growlithe snarled as he fired the strongest fire blast he had ever done before, Anter smirked and merely jumped out of the way with blinding speed, the fire blast passing only inches away from his face, just enough to cause the front fairs around his nose to curl up a bit. The Growlithe snarled until he heard a cry from Lilly as she was hit by his fire blast. Anter had just taken down two out of the three of them by merely moving in the exact location he need to be in to cause the attacks to hit their own teammate. "Why you dirty little runt!" The Growlithe barked out as he started to charge at Anter head on with a powerful take down. With the same speed as when he dodged the oncoming fire blast, Anter in an instant clashed head on landing a direct hit to the Growlithe's chest area with a simple tackle, but it seemed to carry the force of a Giga impact. The Growlithe gasped a bit as the his breath was knocked out of him and he fell right there dead in his tracks. Anter was breathing a bit heavily since moving so fast drained his energy quite a bit. Zip and Noa were frozen in place as they saw the whole fight play out, too amazed to lift a finger to have helped Anter as they saw him take down one of the toughest looking teams in the guild all by himself. Anter turned back to his team with the same goofy smile he had on his face before, as if nothing happened.
"Uh, Zip. Who were these guy's again?" He asked as his breathing evened out and he scratched the back of his head realizing he may have done something he shouldn't have.
"Never mind that lets just get out of here before someone sees us!" Zip said as he grabbed Noa with one arm and Anter in the other as he began a mad sprint into the woods instead of taking the direct route to town, infer of being seen by anyone heading towards the guild.
As Zip's mad sprint finally stopped as he got to the outer edges of the woods on the other side of town he let Anter and Noa go, his breathing heavy and coming in deep slow panting. Noa shook her body to unflatten her fur that had been matted down by Zip holding her so tightly to him. Anter sat down on his hind legs as he looked at Zip with a puzzled look.
"Why did we have to not be seen? Were they some sort of secret agency?" Anter asked in a bit of freaked out voice since he know had the thought that he had just beaten up someone of high power and shouldn't have. Zip waited until his breathing evened out to answer.
"No. they weren't anything like that. *pant* they were just some thugs from the guild who think their "all that" because no one has beaten them before in the guild arena before." He said as he sat down as well, his legs feeling like jelly from running so fast while carrying the others.
"Oh thank Arceus…" Anter mumbled under his breath as he felt a massive weight lift off of his chest.
"Why were they picking on you Zip?" Noa asked in an innocent voice as she walked over to her leader and looked at him curiously. Zip gave out a big sigh before he frowned a bit.
"Well, I'll say it, but I'm not gonna like it." He mumbled as he crossed his legs and looked down at his lap. "A few years back when I first joined the guild I challenged the Absol, Lilly, to a one on one fight in the arena after I grew sick and tired of her constant mocking. She beat me so bad that the nurse said it was a miracle that I even walked away from that fight with my life." He said softly as he looked up at the sky and watched clouds pass by.
"Well that explains her, but what about the other two?" Anter asked as he walked up with next to Noa and looked at Zip.
"Who? Blayze and Keith? Their nothing but he lackeys, they think just because she's there leader that they can boss everyone around like she does." Zip chuckled a bit. Anter was about to say something else but a sweet famine voice rang out to the group before he could get a word out.
"Zip were you waiting for me to pass by here with my team just to see me?" The voice called, it sounded familiar but at the same time different. The three of them looked over at the same time to see another female Absol and behind her a Zorua and a Buizel.
"Hey aren't you-!" Anter started but was stopped when Zip stomped on the smaller pokemon's foot and walked up to the Absol and hugged her.
"Of course I was sweetheart. Why else would I be here?" He cooed with a smile on his as they nuzzled a little bit, Noa getting ready to throw-up from the lovey-dovey scene while Anter wanted to beat the snot out of Zip for stepping on his foot. After the two love birds finished the Absol smiled as he looked at the other two she assumed was Zip's new team.
"So? Are you going to introduce me to them?" She asked smiling.
"Of course." Zip replied smiling as he glanced over at his team with a smile. "Guy's I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Lithe. She's Lilly's younger sister." Zip stated smiling as he watched Anter's jaw almost hit the ground it dropped so far.
