Vio: Here's Chapter 2! -(^o^)/

Before we begin, I would like to address something very important. They – Kikyo, Remi, and Aviana – will be evolving earlier in the game.

C'mon now, think about it.

*SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME*

A smol Rockruff like Remi vs. freakin' Dialga for example.

I refuse to NOT let her evolve – along with the others.

Enjoy. ^w^

Chapter 2: Settling in

"Why you uncultured Spoink!"

Ana's eyes darkened and her entire face turned a bright red in anger, "I'll show you uncultured, you Piplup wannabe!"

"Why you-!"

Kikyo rubbed her forehead while Remi smiled nervously as they watched Ana argue with their potential advisor. After entering the guild, the three were approached by a Chatot who – to Ana – sounded as if he had an attitude.

She did not take to that very well.

"It's only been five minutes," the Riolu growled, "five FREAKIN' minutes and she's already starting fights."

"Uh," Remi took a hesitant step forwards, "should we stop her? You know, before he kicks us out?"

Kikyo gave her a sweet smile that didn't match the stormy look that appeared, "Oh, don't worry – I'll handle her myself, so just sit there and look pretty, ok?"

"Y-yes!"

The shiny walked over, grabbed her friend by her head, and shoved her down in a form of a bow. The Fennekin was squirming and clawing at the ground – all while Kikyo smiled at the Chatot, who sweat-dropped at the scene.

"Please forgive my friend sir, she can get a bit overwhelming at times."

The bird nodded in agreement, "Quite so," he gave each female a once over, "but why are you three here?"

Ana mumbled something under her breath, but the others ignored her. It wouldn't be doing them any favors to get on this pokemon's bad side.

"We're here to become an exploration team."

"I see," he flapped his wings before awkwardly walking over to some wooden stairs that led deeper down into the guild, "well then ladies, follow me please!"

Kikyo nodded politely as she picked Ana up and covered her muzzle, not wanting the other to mouth-off again. The two followed the bird down the stairs – Remi going slower than the other two since she had a bit of a hard time gripping the stairs.

The Rockruff's eyes grew as she took in the sight before her. Pokemon of all kinds were either in their own groups talking or surrounding two boards on each side of the room that were covered in pictures of other pokemon.

"This way," the Chatot fluttered towards the next set of stairs that went even deeper, "c'mon, and don't lag behind please!"

Remi shuttered, stairs were going to be her greatest enemy in this place.

After the nerve-wracking descent, the small group finally arrived closed double-doors. The bird walked over and knocked on the double-doors with a surprising amount of strength.

"Guildmaster? It's me, Chatot! We have some others wanting to join!"

The doors instantly slammed opened and the four yelped in surprise.

A Wigglytuff stood there with a bright, blinding smile on his face, "Hello! Hello! You three are here to sign up, right?"

'He seems so excited,' Remi thought with a small smile, 'I wonder if he'll start to hop around like a Buneary?'

"Yes, we are!" Ana had finally squirmed her way out of Kikyo's tight grasp, "You're the guildmaster, huh?"

"You-!"

"Now, now, Chatot," the Wigglytuff soothed, "there's no reason to get heated."

He then turns to the three, "My name is Wigglytuff, what about you three?"

"Kikyo, guildmaster." The Riolu said with a small bow that earned her an approving nod from Chatot.

"Aviana, but you can call me Ana."

"R-Remi." She said quietly as those piercing blue eyes turned to her.

The guildmaster clapped his hands together, "Wonderful! Now if you'll be so kind," he motions towards the room he popped out of, "as to come in, we have to create your team."

The small group made their way into the room – the three females staring around in awe at the size of the room. Wigglytuff made his way behind his desk and grabbed a medium-sized chest before turning back to the others with a wide smile still upon his face.

"So, first of all," he grunted lightly as he dropped the chest before the three, "what will your team name be?"

"Fireblast!"

"No."

"Aww, c'mon Kikyo!"

"No."

Remi groaned quietly as an intense pain overwhelmed her train of thought.

"Daddy, c'mon!" A little girl whined while her father chuckled at her eagerness.

"Which story would you like me to read tonight, sweetheart?"

"Oh! Oh! The one about the magical tree daddy!"

"You mean the story of Yggdrasil?"

She nodded furiously, "Yes daddy! That one!"

"Yggdrasil." She said unconsciously, not noticing that she had caught the others attention.

"That's...hmmm," Ana's face lightened, "that's actually not a bad name."

Kikyo smiled at the blushing Rockruff – who had just realized that she had spoken aloud.

"That is a lovely name." Wigglytuff and Chatot nodded in agreement.

"Team Yggdrasil it is," Wigglytuff gestured towards the chest with a smile, "here's a few things to help you three get started."

He turned to Chatot, "Would you mind helping them find their rooms?"

"Yes, Guildmaster Wigglytuff."

Ana opened the chest and smiled brightly as she rummaged around, her smile growing wider at what she found.

"Dibs!" She called out as she snatched an orange ribbon, tying it around her left ear in the shape of a bow.

Kikyo sighed heavily before grabbing a brown bag along with three explorer badges, "Oh, we also got a power band and a white bandana too!"

She turned to her other friend, "Remi?"

"Y-yes Kikyo?"

"Which would you like?"

The Rockruff eyed the white bandana, "Do you mind if I choose the bandana?"

"Of course," Kikyo smiled as she handed the white cloth over, "would you like me to help tie it for you?"

"A-ah," she struggled as she tried to tie it around her neck, "yes p-please."

Kikyo helped her tie it around her neck, "Ah, you look so adorable!"

The two laughed as Remi blushed brightly at their comments of 'adorable' and 'cute'.

Chatot decided to speak up, "Well ladies," they turned to him with smiles on their faces, "shall we go find your room? You three must be famished too – we'll stop by the kitchen so that you can eat before turning in."

Kikyo slammed her paw over Ana's muzzle before she could smart-off again, "That sounds lovely. Thank you."

"Aaahh," Ana sighed happily as she patted her slightly swollen belly, "those cherri berries hit the spot!"

Kikyo nodded slumping down onto her straw bed, "Yeah, those apples and oran berries really filled me up."

"I really loved the pecha berries." Remi added as she snuggled deeper into her bed.

It had really been a long day for them – especially her. She could remember nothing except her name, that she was a human, and now her age as well. No matter how hard she tried, Remi couldn't remember anything else.

It was all just blank.

She frowned, closing her eyes hoping that a good night's sleep would help.

"I can't believe we're finally here."

Remi kept her eyes closed, but she listened closely to the conversation.

"Yeah," Kikyo agreed, "I had always hoped that we would be able to join, but..."

"You never thought it would come true."

"….Yeah."

She heard shuffling, "It's all thanks to Mimi over there."

More shuffling, "Yes, but I hope that she'll be able to find her memories. I don't want us two to be the only ones happily achieving our dreams."

"Agreed. We should go on a few jobs and get used to being explorers before trying to find out how we're gonna help her."

"Yes," Kikyo yawned," but for now, let's just get some sleep."

"Mmhmm." The other slurred as they both dozed off to sleep.

Remi smiled as her heart warmed, "Thank you." She whispered before she too dozed off.

Everything would be just fine.
