nThe train ride was about an hour for our heroes, Scottie had fallen asleep going through the first long tunnel, and Will was reading a magazine, they then heard the whistle and the screeching of the wheels as the Train came to a stop, and then finally a loud hiss... Train Master Reuniclus yells out as follows
"SUUUUMMMER PATH, STOP FOR TEAM SEIGE!" The Train master yells back as she pulls a chain blowing the whistle yelling "REE-UUU~" as the whistle blew
Scottie then woke up in a dizzy state he got up and walks out of the train car, with Will soon following after. Upon touching the ground, Scottie shook to wake his ass up
"Brr!" is the sound he lets out as he shakes his face "Boy that was something huh!" He comments
"I suppose it was nice having you be quiet for a while." Will admits, as Scottie shoots a glare back, as Train Master Reuniclus looks at them "All clear! You guys didn't leave anything on the train!" she says as she does the 'A-OK' hand signal. As Scottie stares and whispers
"What is she doing with her hand?" Scottie asks Will in a hushed tone
Will whispers back in reply "She's letting you know everything's 'All-Ok' Numb-nuts."
Scottie shot a glare towards Will. "I hate you." Scottie whispers to will
Will shot back a cocky look."I hate you too." Will whispers in rejoinder
"Why are we whispering?" Train Master Reuniclus says also whispering, floating right next to Scottie
"I don't-" Scottie whispers, then realizing "Waaait…. AH!" he responds with jumping back a little, causing a giggle out of the Gelatinous Pokémon, she then says.
"All right I'm done messen' with ya guys, I have to go!" Reuniclus says floating back over to her train, as Scottie realizes
"HEY! WAIT! HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET HOME?" He shouts after the train master who responds with.
"Your badges should teleport you back to their set base BYE~!" she exclaims
"But we never-!" Scottie barks only for it to be interrupted by a loud train whistle from the train as it chugged on away as Will and Scottie stood there helplessly staring after it…
"… Guess we're walking after the mission." Scottie says sighing, and Will lets out a whiny noise…
"For once I agree with you… come on, let's get this first mission over with…" He says about to head in, as Will stands in front of him "Allow me to lead good sir, I know what I'm doing." Will proclaims, as Scottie uses his tails to push him aside
"Look, I'm the leader, what I say goes." Scottie says as Will growls "I am not about to let a vulpix lead me…" he almost snarls
'This isn't going to work…' Scottie thought 'He's too defiant to start taking orders and all he cares about is…' Then the proverbial lightbulb comes on in Scotties mind 'My downfall!' he then smiles and says
"Allright tough guy, lead the way…" Scottie says, with will replying with
"Glad you see it my way." He say about to walk in as Scottie comments…
"I must say, I was worried there for a moment, being leader is so scary… I mean, I would probably be screwed in there… Thank you so much for being the front-lineman it really takes that weight off of my back… maybe I'll even learn how to fight! Sooo… thanks!" Scottie explains so cheerfully, as Will froze up, then turned around "You know what, you be leader, I insist…." He says with his voice quivering a little.
Got him.
"… but I thought…" Scottie began with will interrupting "Nevermind what you thought! You be the leader right this moment!" Will demands angerly, as Scottie walks in front of him saying. "Glad you see it my way." Scottie says walking in front of him, entering the dungeon as Will follows Scottie's lead.
As they enter the dungeon, their badges glow briefly as golden bubbles surround both Scottie and Will for a brisk moment, dispelling an odd purple energy, Scottie looks at it in awe
"… Well that was weird." Will says
"Something tells me we should get used to that… " Scottie comments as he presses forward into the dungeon as will follows him five paces behind down the path.
The dungeon is an oddity. With a winding dirt path and thin hallways, the trees rising high into the sky, with light barley at all getting through to the ground.
'It feels so weird here…' Scottie thought to himself 'Like as if I'm in some other world…'
Scottie felt himself being returned to reality by a loud scream, which sounded like it came from a scared young female
"That must be the daughter!" Scottie says looking around
Will is shaking "N-n-no! that was me! Look dude!" he yells pointing ahead, which Scottie took a gander at whatever it was that had frightened Will, he scoffs at the sight. It was two small caterpillar like Pokémon with yellow heads, leaf-based hoods, yellow heads, and white undersides, with small fangs. The two of them eating leafs.
Scottie almost started laughing as Will cowered "Come on! Those things look harmless!" he comments chuckling at will
"Those Sewaddle are terrifying!" Will says to him, as Scottie starts laughing and the two Sewaddle turned to Scottie, and began making a hiss-like whistling as they begin to come closer, and Scottie focused his gaze.
"Ok not harmless! How do we stop them?" Scottie hastily demands of Will who is freaking out He answers
"I don't know! Shoot fire at them!" Will demands
Scottie turns his head back "and just how the in the distortion am I supposed to do that!" he yells
"JUST DO IT!" Will yells shrilly, as Scottie turns his head to see he didn't have much time left. So he follows Will's advice, by closing his eyes, as he felt a heat radiating in his mouth, he opened his eyes, takes a stance, then opening up his mouth and firing a flurry of small fireballs at the Sewaddle, which blast away one, as it passes out, the other flees… That Sewaddle begins to fade
"Holy Fu- what is it doing!" Scottie ran over but Will grabbed his scarf and pulls him back
"Don't worry this is natural!" Will says to Scottie who looks back at him with an angry look
"We have to save him!"
"He's fine…" Will says as it was too late, the Pokémon dissipated, into yellow orbs that fly into the dungeon's air... "Wha-…what just happened?..." Scottie asks stepping forward getting a little misty eyed
"Is… is he dead…?" Scottie asks staring at the ground where it was, those marks left from his burn
"Oh yeah! You killed that crazy thing dead in SECONDS dude!" Will says dropping his pomp and patting he ever silent Scottie on the back, while he is staring down where it was
"Don't worry! About it there guy!" Will says, patting his back "He was evil and crazy!"
There was a moment of silence in the forestry path, with birds tweeting in the sunlight… ah it is so peaceful, except for a sudden sound of paw pad smacking face is heard… lets go with WHACK! With will lying on the ground holding his face and Scottie letting out a deep growl
"Oh what was that for you bloody Tan-hide?" Will asks on the ground delicately holding his cheek gingerly glaring at Scottie who looks absolutely furious with him
"Don't you dare joke about death!" The Vulpix seethed at him "Do you know what it's like? To think you're going to die! To be so damn close to it? Do you, you little punk?" Scottie asks him somewhat rhetorically, Will just layed there, stunned at how quickly Scottie is retaliating. "No! You obviously don't! You wouldn't even think to joke about it if you have!... I know… because I have…" he says starting to slip out of anger, sliding to more of a slight sad tone, ears drooping
"… It's terrifying… The thought of your life being taken away at just a moment's notice… And you just lightly joking about it is really offensive to me." he says turning around and beginning to walk off "… and I just took away his…" he says with a guilt filled voice as will scurries up to join his partner
Will looks at him as he walks right next to him "Jeez, If I knew you'd get your tails in a bunch I wouldn't have said anything." Scottie presumes this is the closest to an apology he was going to get from the Oshawott, but he kept the silent treatment up.
"How immature, you're not talking to me? Fine. I don't want to talk to you either…" Will says looking away… but his yap can't stay shut that long, that's impossible.
"… but just so you know." Will begins to say, pausing, waiting for a response, but he never got one so he continues anyway.
"… You didn't actually kill that Sewaddle back there, you just knocked it out, and it was pushed out of the dungeon. Though it probably will just come back to the dungeon, because... I don't know it's stupid or something."
Scottie sighs 'Well, this is a pretty crappy apology, but it's probably the best one I'm getting from him... At least I know that I'm not actually killing anything!' Scottie thought to himself as the progressed through the dungeon
It was rather uneventful from that point forward, some encounters here and there. With a few Sewaddle here and there, as well as a couple of raccoon like Pokémon known as Zigzagoon, which Scottie notes were quite useful Pokémon, as they seemed to have a knack for finding berries. There are also rat like Pokémon with beaming red eyes, to be known as Scottie if he were to describe them, he would use how Will so graciously explained it.
"They have a pissy attitude and its best to avoid them."
Scottie also learned that the shell on Will's stomach is indeed removeable, and quite sharp too, causing a wound on one of the zigzagoons that they fought
After a while, they arrive at the oddest sight, a staircase, which spiraled upward, though the oddest thing about it, it has no supports. It was just simply spiraling upwards to roof of land, as Scottie stared oddly…
"What in the actual fu-" Scottie says quickly interrupted by Will saying "It's the stairs! Freakin' choice c'mon! let's go!" Will says running up the floating construct… as Scottie slowly follows
"Why is there flying stairs, and flying ground. How is this possible?" Scottie asks carefully walking up them
"I don't know!" Will says down to Scottie "It's a mystery!" And Scottie groans in response at the pun as they climb up the stairs to the next floor, which as they do Scottie steps forward, and Will follows…
Meanwhile… at the edge of a cliff in the shrouds of a forrest, Shadows of small and large creatures are barely seen, but heard conversing on various matters…
"Is everything set?" a feminine voice, proper, almost sounding rather English in origin, asks another
The other voice is gruff, stern. Male. "Should be…"
"I hope you are right about them." The female voice responds in tandum
"I'd put my life on it…"
"You're reputation will be the one line, not your life…" the female voice says, with the sound of the wind overtakes the voices…
The Second floor was similar to the first Will's ears twitched and he began to dash forward into hallway, with Scottie following.
"What are you DOING?" he yells after them, chasing him!
Scottie looks back and says to Will "I have a wild Idea! I think I can find the stairs! If we just run down one of the hallways, I'm sure we we'll find it!" He says as he he suddenly drops, and Scottie stops, looking down, and Will is holding on the edge, making loud and pathetic sounds. He could hear the sound of the wind whistling beneath him…
"Help me! Help me! Oh Arceus in Hall of Origin help me!" Will yells at Scottie flipping out. Scottie looks down at him and at the Abyss he'll fall into if he didn't act quick
"Hold on! I have a rope in my bag" Will says about to let go, which Scottie notices and he yells
"No! Stop! Stop right there!" Scottie commands the snotty Will as he stops
"If you let go you will fall to your death and your inards will be all over the everywhere you got that?"Scottie says as Will shakes his head yes, like, frantically.
"Now! Here's how its going to go! I'm going to grab your fin-" He began, being interrupted by Will
"With WHAT!" Will yells back "Your tail? I'll slip!" he yells
"Then I'll use my damn teeth!" he yells "Grab on to me When I bite down on your hand!" he yells as will makes a sad sound and Scottie yells down "Any better ideas?" Will makes a sobbing sound as he held out his hand, and Scottie bit down on it as will yowled out in pain and he grabbed onto Scotties head, who didn't expect this and quickly grabs onto a root from a tree and begins to pull Will out…
But Scottie begins to slowly slip as he tries to back up, the ground begins to crumble, and Scottie begins to have an odd taste in his mouth, a taste he did not like…
"Hurry! Hurry!" Will Notioned him as Scottie pulls him back up, just enough for Will to get his footing, and he hops back up as Scottie releases his hand, coughing and gagging as Will looked at his hand and went through his bag with his other hand…
"You allright dude…?" Scottie said between the coughs and gags.
Will looks over hiding his hand behind his back with closed eyes and a laugh "Hehehe… I'm fine! I'm fine!" Will assures Scottie
Scottie looks at him oddly "You sure man?" he asks sympathetically
"Just go ahead, but not too far." Will tells Scottie, who moves a bit forward as Will looks to his wounded hand … he quickly consumes an Oran berry, and begins to dress the wound before heading out to follow Scottie.
This floor was different from the first, as there was new Pokémon… They had an appearance to that of pigeons, known as Pidoves. Scottie noted they were very annoying and far too common. Though with a combination of Wills Tackling and Scotties Tail-whipping can easily handle them. Due to them being able to evade Scottie's only attacking move at this point; Ember, by using the air, thankfully they had to come down to fight.
They find the stairs, and go up them without much trouble. When Scottie spots something peculiar on the ground…
"Hey, what's that?" Scottie asks nudging Will, pointing it out, As Will looks over to it…
"Oh, that? … Uh… I think that's called a wonder tile. I've heard the other teams mention it when I worked at the Café for a while. If you step on it, you can get rid of any negative stat changes… like uh, say you used tail-whip on me." Will explains as Scottie stood enthralled in Will's well-rounded knowledge of dungeons…
The Duo continues onward through the dungeon, fighting off pidoves, sewaddle, Zigzagoon and patrat galore, In the midst of it. Over the course of about a second Scottie glows a pure white, and a blue ring circles around him as blue particles rise around him, and then he returns to normal looking around him, absolutely confused.
"You just leveled up!" Will says to Scottie who is looking over himself, not feeling any different, but certainly revitalized
"Woo! I feel good!" Scottie says his tails swishing to the side with his scarf, the fox full of energy, and the two moved forward…
As they winded their way through the dungeon, fighting through various enemies, and collecting various items… the two arrive on the final floor of the dungeon… where they can see a small Pokémon over on the other side of the room, it was an oddly round pokemon, surrounded by a green gel with a small curl on top of its head. While it didn't verbally talk, they could hear its voice echoing in their minds
"Help! Please help me!" The small pokemon shouts in their minds, Will holds his head in reaction
"Ugh! Psychic types are such a headache… c'mon! lets go!" will says running… but Scottie looks a little harder, listening… he hears it, the sound of wind whistling below. And he knew exactly what it meant.
"GET BACK!" Scottie yelled at Will who suddenly stopped barley a hairs length from an opening in the ground, he immediately backs away with a scared look in his eyes and he even trips backwards on his own scarf
"Woah… How-how'd you know that was there?..." Will asks sort of suspiciously to Scottie, who replies
"I recognized the sound of the wind numbnuts, don't you listen?" he asks receiving a growl from Will "Anyway… I think I can get you across if I use roar… You ready?"
Will gulps "Ready…." He says as Scottie goes behind him, inhaling deeply, but this is offset by another roar, almost beastlike in nature, As a terrifying beast flys out from the crevice. It's a large-raptor like bird with a metallic body, with sharp looking full metal wings with piercing yellow eyes, it roars at it slams down, creating a small gust that knocks Scottie and Will back Three meters…
"!" It yells into the wind with its wings spread and its eyes glaring, As Will Trembles Scottie steps forward growling at the beast, not afraid in the slightest
"Hey! You damned overgrown pidove!" he yells to the Skarmory as it glares down in return "You're going to get out of my way! And you're going to get out of my way right now!" he yells to the beast as will runs up next to Scottie and pats him
"Dude, that thing is out of our league, we have to-"
"Do you know what siege means?" Scottie says glaring to Will, who Elegantly responds with
"A Military tactic or some shit! I don't know! Let's go!"
Scottie ignores it
"… It means any prolonged or persistent effort to overcome resistance. You may not know what it's like, to walk the streets with nothing but glares at you… For the only reason of people even considering talking to me is by the people who surround me… being associated with criminals based on nothing but species alone, to be beaten to near death because of it? If I run away now, and leave that child alone with that monster… I'd be no better than they think of me. I know that, and I refuse to let anyone ever be scared, like I was, ever again…" he says taking a stance against that skarmory…
Will stared at Scottie as if he where crazy… but then nodded, and he took a stance against skarmory, removing his Scalchop, and holding it like a blade
"… You're Arceus' Damn crazy you know that?"
"Then why are you helping me?" Scottie asks with a smirk
Will smirks in return "I must be crazy too."
Their badges, badges glow twice, and then they create a flash of light, temporarily blinding the Skarmory, allowing the duo the first move. Will and Scottie, without even having to talk, charge it, Scottie charging forward at it, leading with an Ember as will follows up the strike with jump strike with his Scalchop from the side, unfortunately, Will's strike wasn't very effective, as the Skarmory 'recovers' knocking back will and Scottie with its wings.
Skarmory takes to the air flying at Scottie, using it's razor sharp beak, it pecks Scottie, who attempts to dodge, but fails it dealing damage to the little fox, side-swiping Scottie's shoulder, Will Tries to attack it again, only for it to screech and brush it off.
Scottie blasts it from ember, again, causing Skarmory to Screech in pain, leaving a part of her armor to smoldering, glowing orange like freshly forged steel, forcing it to land, Will looked at the Skarmory… then the chasm… then the screaming child… and he put 2, one and one together. Quickly pulling out his rope that he had mentioned before.
"Scottie! Keep it busy, Trust me!" he yells to Scottie who nods, as Skarmory takes up flight, and begins using peck repedietly at Scottie, who is backing away quickly, looking at the holes it leaves he then feels the wall behind him as Skarmory sees this, and does a roar in victory… then a rope goes over its mouth catching it off guard, the rope going over the ends of its mouth forcing it closed, and There will was on it's back! As it began to flail in the air
"Stay off of my friend you overgrown metallic rattata with wings! Scottie hop on quick!" Scottie does so without a second word, holding onto it as the metal bird flew upwards gicing a heavy burst of wind to the ground with its wings glowing, and then it begins to spiral in the air
"Woah! Woah!" Will shouts as he pulls the rope "Down! You bloody beast! Go DOWN!" he yells, as Scottie gives it single burst of ember to entice it to listen, the Skarmory screeches and begins nose diving down….
"LITTLE GIRL! MOVE IT! WE'RE COMING TO SAVE YOU!" Scottie yells as the young girl screams, and rolls out of the way as a loud CRASH was heard… Scottie and Will walked dazed making rather hilarious sounds, before they shook their heads… and they realized… The mission was complete.
"Oh my Arceus… We did it… We saved the girl!" Will sounds "And we LIVED!" he says
Scottie approaches the young pokemon "Hello… are you ok?" he asks her as she looks up to him
"Yes mister…" she replies. She was an adoreable little pokemon…
"That's not all…" the scratchy voice of Skarmory says as Scottie and Will turn to see the beast had awoken, panting, as it scuttled over to the wall "You know what else you did?" she yells as Will and Scottie, Despite the fatigue they both felt from the battle where ready to fight again. However the Skarmory, using her wing pulled a bag out of from behind the tree, tossing it in the air, and looking up, the strap lands over her neck. Reaching in, pulling out yellow like berry, by stabbing it on her wing, and she bites it off, swallowing…
"You passed." The Skarmory says in a slightly more effeminate, proper, and English tone. Revealing that the Skarmory was indeed a female… and on the strap they spotted a badge, much like theirs, but it was like a tower shield, rather than a heater shield like theirs. It can be easily seen she is a member of a Chevalier Squad, and much higher ranked then they.
Scottie and Will stood shocked at this, they look at eachother, then the girl, then at the Skarmory again and exclaim "What?"
"I must say I never forsaw the Vulpix passing… but It was a rather pleasant surprise to see one of you aren't bloody theifs~." She says ever so pleasantly
"Hey!" Scottie retaliated with a slight growl as Will patted his head to calm him down
"Just who are you anyway…?" Will asks her
"Oh! Pardon me… I'm Candace, Commissioner Rank in Chevalier Order." The Skarmory formally known as Candace says bowing her head "Might I have your names?"
"I'm Will, and this is my partner… uh.. Leader… Scottie!" he says as Scottie steps forward, bowing his head in return
"But wait… we just became a team about… what? This morning?… how could you have possibly known?" he asks As the Skarmory chuckles
"Oh no darling, it's well into the night by this time. Anyway, the klinks for that have been in motion ever since last night!" she explains "How do you think you got your scarfs?… You see. You're friend Officer Grahm sent out a courier for me as soon as you fell asleep, with both background checks on you and William… I must say, you're a bit odd, little Vulpix. Amnesia, an odd genetic trait, not even knowing his own name, and even a completely different alignment too! Heck not even our onsite metagross could find any files on a blue eyed Vulpix. You're quite the mystery young Scott." Candace rambles on and on… which only disheartened Scottie… not even they knew who he was.
"Anyway, after reviewing your files, I'm the one who brought your scarves… And Casey's sister was kind enough to lend us her daughter… and so everything just worked out. Coffee, you have to try it love, really gets you through all dayers and all nighters~!" Candace said singsong as Scottie and Will began to tune her out, from exhaustion. The younger Pokémon was fast asleep as well…
Candace saw this and smiles "How about I take you three home in style. Hm? Grahm shall be waiting there, as well as Stacey's mother. Another Reuniclus, and I assume as she's such a cute little solosis she'll eventually evolve into one~ Here, put her in my bag… "
"… but I don't have a home…" Scottie says, as Candace only turns and winks in response as Scottie blinks in confusion… but snaps out of it as he helps the young sleeping Pokémon into Candace's bag. And then He and Will Both jump up onto the Skarmory's back as her wings glowed a brilliant white, which she uses to kick herself off the ground, and fly off, moving at incredible speeds.
"Whoa!" Scottie yells overlooking the side of Skarmory, as they fly over the trees, and over the land, faster than any known land bound vehicle Scottie has experienced. and he saw everything! How the stars and moon of the night reflect off of the ocean, the lights of the city making a bright orange to complement the cool blue hues of the night. The cold sea air made it feel all the better to the fire type. He's not sure why, but even though water trumps his type, he can't help but feel enchanted by it.
Scottie then comes to a realization; how is she flying so fast, yet their not having any trouble staying on, and why exactly do people hate vulpixes so much anyway? He decides to press forward on these matters, but decides to start with the flying bit first
"Hey uh… Candace was it?" He asks her
"That's my name there, bloke!" The Skarmory responds "What do you need?"
"How come we're having no problem staying on you now when I had to hold on tightly before?" he asks her, which she looks back at him
"Because this time I'm using a move known as Fly!" she says to Scottie who looks confused "It's a Hidden Move, that taps into, and improves a pokemon's natural abilities, allowing it to effect the terrain or how they interact with the world around them." Candace started off large.
"Unlike Technical Moves, which I will tell you about later. You can't forget these unless you go to a specialist about it, but the advantages are very clear. You see, Fly allows me to envelope my wings with an odd energy, whatever it is, it allows me to use my mind to plan out my flight path, without having to worry about inertia, weight on my body, weight from passengers, etcetera, etcetera… So! as a result I can fly allot more smo
othly."
Scottie heard all this and was amazed about just what the energy that Pokémon harness can be used for exactly… He opens his mouth to speak, but Will covers his mouth
"No further questions!" Will says frantically, bored out of his mind
"You sure? I read on the report that Scottie has amnesia-"
"I'll explain everything to him later!" Will says quickly as Scottie yells, probably many many bad words, muffled, so it's unintelligible.
They then land right in front of a small hut, with four small domes built onto to it, with Grahm and a Pokémon that looked much like Train Master Reuniclus; In fact, she was the same exact species. Standing next to her was Officer Grahm, carrying a navey blue scarf, which he tied around Candace's neck.
"Thank you darling!" She said ever so politely. As Grahm did a salute "Not a problem Commissioner!" he says as Will and Scottie hop off, as The small Solosis hops out of Candace's bag
"Thank you for 'saving' my baby!" The Reuniclus says grabbing the small child as the child's cytoplasm merged with her mother's and the child floated next to her body
"I must Say will, leader of a Chivalier team… I'm proud!" she says happily "I thought you were just the little brat who lived down the street, but now look at you! And you even got a Vulpix Maid! Be careful with her, she might rob you blind~" she says as Will rubs the back of his head
"Actually… I'm not the leader of this team… Scottie here is the leader. And a Dude." Will says as Scottie steps forward, lifting his paw
"Hello…" Scottie says ackwardly... as there's a moment of silence…
"A Vulpix…" She says "A… VULPIX?" she yells, throwing her hands into the air. "WHO IN THE- Why! UGH!" she yells but then enhales and exhales… "… Well at least you're not a Ninetales…"She says with a sigh. "Well, I suppose our business here is done. Grahm is handling your reward… Ugh, I need to go home and think about how standards must've lowered." She says floating off… and as soon as she was out of earshot Candace speaks for everyone
"I think she might have a medical condition where she has to act like there's a pole up her rump all the time…" Candace says turning to the Dynamic Duo, waiting for Grahm to talk
"Well, as a Reward for clearing your first mission, you shall receive, one free set of armor for your leader, as well as this entire base right here for you to live in!" Grahm says to the two, patting scottie's shoulder, noticing his wound
"Uh…"
"Oh! Right!... That… Uhm… Oran berry anyone?.." he asks as will rolls one over, and Scottie eats it, causing his wound to close up rather quickly, but still leaving nice scar…
"… That'll heal." Candace says to him. "Anyway, I have some fruit for thought to leave you both before I go!" with that, Scottie and Will turn to her as she clears her throat.
"It's obvious to tell your scarves are of different colors… This was intentional. Scottie. You received The Red Scarf. In our order, Red means Courage, and leadership. Essentially you are the undisputed leader of the team, able to use your team-mates strengths and weaknesses perfectly, and efficiently. But yet you seem kind, caring about the life around you. Which is why you where bestowed the honorable color of red… William." She says, Scotties stares down at his scarf with awe, then turning to Will
"You received the Turqoise Scarf. Meaning Cleverness and Potential, though while at first you showed resistant against what you have given, you have shown to be very resourceful, wise, and intelligent. Though I feel like you aren't using it all for what you could be. You have earned Turquoise, which I hope to one day exchange for a blue scarf… You have Received the Color of Potential; Turquoise." Will nods and looks down to his Scarf.
Candace outstretches her wings, and they glow white… "May our paths cross again!" she says as she flaps her wings, causing her to fly off into the distance. Grahm walks over to Scottie, shining his own police badge into Scotties, as it makes a beep sound And he says one final thing "Good work boys." Grahm says before flying off himself…
"So… how do we open this door?" he asks Will who sighs
"Just shine the badge into the lock, then slide the door to the side with your paw." Will says tired "Most team base doors are designed like that for accsess of any kind of Pokémon."
Scottie says as instructed, and slides open the door… as the two walk into the base, it had a small kitchen like area over in the left 'corner' of the rounded house, as well as an at home mission board, seems to be where they can hang up letters for missions they accept if there are many, and a door to a cellar like area, they both agree to investigate in the morning. As Scottie takes the first room, and Will takes the other.
Scottie's room was rather barren, but it had a bed, and right now that's all he wants as he hops up onto the bed, removing his scarf and putting over one of the stumps on the wall, before hopping up on his bed, lifting up the covers, walking under it, then popping his head out, laying it on a pillow, staring up into the ceiling… he thinks for a bit.
'… heh. Look at me now… a Leader of a Chevalier Squad… I have a lot ahead of me… but yet…' he rolls over in bed, staring out his window. '… I have so much about who I was… I don't even know… and I have the world against me.' Echos in his mind as his eyes closed
'… one step at a time…. I need to prove to these people… that at least I'm not so bad before answering any questions about who I was for myself…'
And so, Scottie drifts into sleep….
