Chapter 2: Meet the Crew
Within a few hours several more recruits of all colors had joined the Summit Town Guild. Within a days' worth of time the guild had been filled with bustle and quickly began its operations. With a new sun on the horizon Matt and Guild master Shear had summoned the recruits to the main chamber on the second floor for indoctrinations. "Greetings everyone, I am Guild Master Shear." The Scizor started. "If you have any questions please don't be afraid to ask me or Matt here, our head of intelligence."
"More like head of chores…" Matt mumbled quietly to himself. Clearing his throat Matt continued where Shear left off. "Yes, I- we would be more than happy to help to anyway we can." He let out a mental sigh as he realized how close he had been to insulting the Guild Master by saying he did all the work, even if it wastrue. "Now then, we'll need some volunteers for Sentry Duty and someone to update the quest boards."
"I'll be more than happy to update the boards." Jarod, a male Unfezant, spoke out.
"And me an Leon the Luxio will take sentry!" Jerry, a pidove, chimed. Matt nodded aceptingly as he jotted down the names.
The Kirlia turned back to the group before addressing them again. "We will also need someone for kitchen duty."
An Inysaur, named Naomi, rose her vine in the air, vaultering herself. "I can do that. I used to make dinner for my siblings." Naomi said in a half quiet tone.
Matt again wrote down the name on hsi list. "Alright, that's all the duties that need to be filled for now the rest of you can be on your way. Domitories are on the top floor down the hall." They all gave a unified cheer and went off in their own ways. "Blaze, may I speak to you for a moment?"
"What is it Matt?"
The Kirlia handded the small fire mouse a list of supplies. "There is a Tropious that runs a shop in the square. Can you go and get these items for me? Here's the money for them." Blaze nodded as he took the list and quickly trotted off to do his errands.
Blaze walked down the rode taking in the beatiful Spring day, unfortunatly that was the problem. It was Autumn. "Man, the seasons have been acting weid latley." he thought outloud to no one in particular. But he was right. Strangly the seasons seem to have ahead of sceduale. It had snowed for nearly two weeks straight before it quickly melted away into flowers and grass.
His thoughts were broken when he heard a small commtion going on by the market. It looked liked a Cubone and a Tropius were arguing about something. The small ground type seemed to be yelling at the much larger grass-flying type in some un comprehencible launge, witch obviously made the poor shop keeper deeply confused. "What seems to be the problem?"
"This Cubone is trying to payfor an Oran in forein Poke." The Tropius explained. "I've tried to excplain that I don't know the exchange rate, but she just keeps yelling at me."
"Why should matter?! Poke is poke you jaDa!" she balled, having a thick Sanskirt accent.
Blaze sighed, deciding to pay for the Oran himself. "Here you go." He said handing her the berry.
"DhanyavAda." she thanked him. Or at least that's what he assumed she did. Blaze smiled and nodded. "I'm Jiantia."
"Blaze. I know stupid name." The Cubone giggled a little bit. "So what brings you to Summit Town?"
"Looking for Guild."
"Oh, that's just up the street!" Blaze chimmed. "I'll show you the way! Oh, wait..." He quickly turned to the Tropius and gave him the supply list and money. "Almost forgot."
The grass-flying type quickly looked over the list. "Ah yes, I have everything here. Just give me a sec to gather them." In just a short moment he came back with a bag filled with the itmes Matt had asked for. "Here you go! Be sure to tell Matt I said hello."
Blaze smiled and tok the bag of berries of Reviver Seeds. Just as he was turing around a rahter rude Bisharp had ran into him, causing the Cyndaquil to drop the bag. The dark-steel type nonchalantly picked it up claiming it for his own. "Hey! Give those back!" Blaze pleaded.
The Bisharp gave the small pokemon an anoyed look before easily swatting him away. "Pethetic..." he taunted before simply walking off.
"I'm sorry, I'll get you another batch." The tropious appologized before handing them another bag of suplies. "On the house."
"Thanks." responded Blaze.
"What his problem?" Jiantia asked as they walked back to the guild, refering to the Bisharp from earlier.
"I don't know, but mabye it was becuase of the seasons changing to quickly." Blaze answered. "It's caused some pokemon to become more aggresive then usuall." He shook his head in greif, then smiled shortly after. "But let's change the subject. So you said you were looking to join the Guild earlier?"
Jiantia nodded. "Jes. Was hopping to start Exploration Team."
"Hey so am I! Mabye we can make one together!"
Jiantia mulled over Blazes' offer for a moment. On one hand, she jsut met him. On the other, he seems like a nice guy, and he did help her out earlier. She nodded. "Jes. Wonderful idea."
Blaze smiled.
"So you too want to start an Exploration group?" Shear asked. No sooner had Blaze retunred with the supplies both him and the Cubone had nearly broke down his door to talk to him. The two smaller pokemon nodded in agrement.
"Well if you want to be a team, you'll need a name." Matt interjected.
Come to think of it they had been so excited to be making a team, they hadn't thought of a name. "Vidhey." Jiantia exclaimed.
"Come again?" matt asked rather confused.
"Vidhey, short fo vidheyamArga. It mean 'seeking to do nessary act'."
Baze gave an aproving nod. "I like it. I was going to say something stupid like Pokepals." he laughed.
"Very well then from this day foward you too are now Team Esti." Shear commaned heartfully. "Matt make a note if you will."
"Um...how do you spel that?"
