You know what, lets update this on the same day that I posted it! Why not? No rules against it! Such a good and amazing story. Also, one thing is that all of the rest of this story will be third person around Riolu, so don't expect anybody else. This is random, but one thing that I have been wondering about is that, in PMD: EoS, EoD, or EoT, when you place items in the storage rock, how does it get back to the past? Answer please, but first, read on!

Chapter 2: The Reason

Riolu pushed away the bushes to see that he was finally here. He was at the beach where he had found Vulpix, but one thing was missing.

"Where is Beach Cave?" Riolu wondered. The entrance to it was completely covered by rubble. The whole beach and about a mile inland was wet, although it didn't rain here lately. This caused some worry to Riolu for what Treasure Town looked like.

When Riolu actually got to Treasure Town, he was horrified.

The Marowak Dojo and the Duskull Bank were completely destroyed, while the Chansey Day Care was barely holding up under its own weight. The Electrive Link Shop was also in a pile of rubble. The thing that was most surprising, however, was that the river was completely gone, and a huge crack ran down the middle of it. The bridge was cut in half, and, instead of a nice and easy walk to the other side, it was raised about a foot from the side that he was on.

Riolu quickly climbed up the little cliff, he was slightly relieved. The Kangaskhan Storage was still holding strong, but the Kelcon market and the Xatu Appraisal where similarly destroyed like the buildings in the other part of town.

"What could've done this?" Riolu wondered.

When he got to Sharpedo Bluff, he was relieved that it was almost completely intact. He moved aside the bushes and went inside of his used-to-be base. When he got inside, he found a note placed in the middle of the opening. Riolu picked it up, and this is what it said.

Dear Riolu,

If you are reading this, then I am already gone from this place and you have come to see if you can help in any way. I am guessing that Treasure Town is destroyed beyond repair, and I think that you accept that fact. In the Kangaskhan Storage, you will find your Wonder Bag, Explorer Badge, and a few items the I put there. You will also find another wonder map, this one completely unfamiliar. It is of the other side of the world. It's a lot bigger than just this land mass, you know! I hope that you will be able to use these items to find me and the rest of the guild. We are safe because of an Absol who came to this town and stated that the ground will shake and buildings will fall, and soon after, waves of death will strike the beach for a mile inland. That was enough to get the town going. I hope to see you soon.

From, Vulpix

Riolu was astonished at how Treasure Town was destroyed so easily, but sighed, then said, "Well, I guess you can't stop Mother Nature from doing her deads. We are always at the mercy of her wrath. That would explain the slight increase back at the river, I suppose. While I'm here I might as well check out Wigglytuffs guild."

When Riolu got there, he was surprised that the outside was mostly intact, but the inside was a whole different story. Rubble had fallen from the roof and blocked certain paths, making it difficult to get to certain areas, but, eventually, Riolu got to the bottom floor. The mess hall door and the guildmaster door were open, but the recruit rooms was a whole different story. Rubble was stacked all the way to the top, and it seemed to jut out a little.

Riolu walked out to it and shouted, "Force Palm!" while jutting his hand towards the rock pile. In seconds, the pile of rocks turned into dust, revealing two pokemon. One lifted its head and said, with a very soft voice, "Mudkip?"

The other pokemon replied, "Yes, Turtwig?"

Turtwig said, "I think that we have just been saved." Mudkip nodded.

Riolu quickly got two Oran Berrys out of the Treasure Bag and gave them to the two pokemon. They quickely ate the berries, and were on their feets within minutes. When they finally got a good look at Riolu, Turtwig asked, "Hey, aren't you the Riolu that was part of Team-"

"Yes, but I don't want to talk about it, okay?" Riolu interrupted. "How did you two get trapped, anyways? The town was evacuated before then."

"Well, we were coming to the guild to sign up as guild members, but when we got here, nobody was here," Mudkip said, "When we got to the guildmasters room, the ground began to shake, and Turtwig pulled me into this hallway right before the roof collapsed. We don't know where the guild has gone, but we will help you on your way to the area that the guild is."

Riolu smiled as they said that. "Okay, then, lets get out of here and start trekking towards Fogbound Town!" With that, the threesome were off, with Riolu in the lead.

Yes! Second chapter done! This is going to be a good story. Please R&R and I will see you next time!
