"HEY! Up and At Em' It's MOOORNING!" A loud, booming voice shattered my strange dream. I woke up in a flash, so startled that my head started pounding with a minor migraine. Looking around, I tried to see who it was that had yelled so loudly but big, black blotches obscured my vision.

"Hnnn… who's voice is that…?" I murmured.

"Hey you Noobies, Get UP! We DON'T TOLERATE Slackers, AND I Don't Care If Your NEW RECRUITS, The Guildmaster WON'T BE VERY PLEASED IF YOUR LATE!"

Huh? Recruits, guildmaster? What was this guy going on ab-

!

"Guildmaster, Angry, Now THAT is Something I NEVER WANT TO SEE!" The voice cringed and turned away.

I didn't give whoever it was to finish his sentence for I had already dashed for the tunnel leading into our room, passing a purple blob as I went.

When I reached the end of the tunnel, I nearly gasped in surprise. There was countless of guild members, most of them still in training, all gathered near the Guilmaster's door. I, with my knowledge of pokemon species, could name everyone. There was a Sunflora chatting to a puffy looking Bidoof and a sweet little chimecho in the far end of the group; a sinister looking Croagunk sitting quietly by himself; Chatot, who I had met the previous day, was explaining something to a Corphish and a Diglet, while an older Dugtrio was listening nearby; and Wiggleytuff was standing by Chatot, gazing at the crowd. As I was gawking, I felt someone grab my shoulder. I yelped in surprise, twirling towards my attacker.

"Geez Chiara, why did you have to run out here so fast?" Seth said tiredly. He was also panting slightly, an indication that he had been running.

"Hehe… whoops sorry about that Seth." I responded.

A few moments later, Matt too, staggered over to us.

"Hey Matt are you okay?" I asked worriedly. His ears were flopped, his eyes in swirls, and he walked around like a heavily drunk man.

"Y-yeah I'm o-ok. Just feeling a l-little dizzy from t-the noise.." I forgot. Shinx had a better sense of hearing than most species.

He shook himself, fluffing up his fur in the process, and blinked a few times to regain himself.

Jess and Brayden came tumbling in, followed by… a Loudred.

Of course! A Loudred, what else could of yelled so loudly?

"Oh, SO YOU SLACKERS FINALLY DECIDED TO SHOW UP!" His voice boomed, earning annoyed glances from all the other guild members, including Seth and Matt.

Chatot whipped his head towards the loud mouthed pokemon and glared at him harshly.

"Hush now! Your voice is ridiculously loud!" The parrot like pokemon chided angrily.

"Hrmm!" He exclaimed, quietly for once.

"Now that we're all here, Guildmaster will now say a few words to start us off! Guildmaster?"

"Snuffle… snort… snore…snort…zzzzzz." The guildmaster grumbled.

(Pssst…! Guildmaster never ceases to amaze me!)

(Yeah, you got that right!)

(Yup, looks like he's wide awake.)

(Eek! His eyes are wide open! But he's fast asleep!)

"Yes… well… we all appreciate your words of, ah, wisdom." Chatot sighed.

"Now! Don't forget to take Guilmaster's words to heart! And finally, let's not forget our morning cheers! All together now!"

"A ONE, A TWO… A ONE- TWO THREE!

ONE! Don't Shirk Work!

TWO! Run Away and Pay!

THREE! Smiles go for miles!"

"Okay pokemon, time to get to work!" Chatot concluded."

"HURRAY!" Came the enthusiastic replies from all of the guildmembers.

"Hmmm you guys, your new here so you don't know what to do." Chatot commented on our groups confused state. We all nodded in agreement

"Well, we can't have you sitting around all day, it's time to start your explorer training! Sunflora, come here for a moment."

The walking sunflower, walked, over to us.

"Yessir! What can I do for you?"

"I'd like you to help out Jessica and Brayden's explorer team. Show them the ropes and help them into great explorers!" Sunflora's eyes burst open in surprise.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you, thank you Chatot! I won't let you down!" She exclaimed excitedly and proceeded to drag Jess and Brayden up to the second floor.

"Now, what to do with you three?" He turned his attention back to Seth, Matt, and I.

"How about I start you off with a simple explorer task, shall we?" He turned and followed the same way Sunflora took. Sharing a quick, unsure glance with one another, we followed Chatot up the stairs.
