Me: Hiiiii! I may have written this chapter for a while now, but not posted because I can't log in, but that might not be the case and I'm just lazy, either way, I wrote a different story and was really looking forward to posting it, But I couldn't log in! I was pissed!

Salazar: Maybe it was the universes way of telling you to update your other fanfictions, like mine, instead of making a new one.

Me: I have a question for you. How do you continually fanfiction hop when I have you chained to that stupid rock?

Salazar: I gotz ninja skillz.

Me: …Riiiiight…

*Pokemon*

Phoebe and I exchanged nervous glances, and I held my arms out.

"Ladies first," I said, and Phoebe gave a nervous laugh and we slowly walked into the guild. I have to say, it was odd walking into a Wigglytuff's head.

We went inside and saw a billboard saying al sorts of crap in CAPS to get your attention, but what really got my attention was the ladder leading downwards. Downwards to the next chapter of my hectic life.

"Riolus first?" Phoebe asked hopefully and I rolled my eyes and descended down the ladder. I was shocked by what greeted us. There was so much chatter, and there were Pokemon of all shapes, sizes and types down there. I looked around, seeing a Swellow and Wurmple conversing normally. It blew my mind. We walked to the back of the room, looking around in awe. A Chatot climbed up a ladder that was right next to the ladder we had just came from and hopped over to us.

"Are you the visitors? Of course you are. Now listen, we don't have time for any silly surveys and we don't want to buy whatever you're selling, so if you'll kindly leave…" The Chatot said motioning to the ladder we just climbed down. Phoebe seemed a bit angry at that.

"We aren't taking a survey, and we don't want to sell you anything!" She exclaimed and added under breath so that I barley heard and the Chatot didn't, "Stupid bird." I giggled ever so slightly.

"Then what are you here for?" The Chatot asked irritated with us, obviously looking for a way to make us leave.

"Well, we wanted to become an Exploration team, but if you don't want us…" I said smoothly and the Chatot's eyes opened comically.

"Really? An Exploration team?" he turned his back to us and started murmuring to himself, not too quietly either. "Surly they know how hard our training is, what with the steady stream of recruits leaving…" He said to himself.

"Erm, is training that hard?" Phoebe asked skeptically and he turned around with a sudden sunshiny smile on his face.

"Of course not, our training is as easy as can be!" He said cheerfully and I could practically see the sweat drop form on all three of our heads.

"Well uhm… So…" I said awkwardly and he shook his head as if to shake out the awkwardness.

"Let's take you to Wigglytuff and make you official apprentices." Chatot lead us down the stairs and Phoebe was visibly shaking.

"Phoebe," I whispered, "Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah," She answered with tears welling up in her eyes. "I just can't believe this is happening."

"Neither can I…" I said thinking about the fact that I was a Pokemon, and now I was on an exploration team.

The Chatot lead us down the ladder and directed us to an office. Before we even touched the door, he stepped in front of us.

"Now listen carefully," he began and Phoebe cocked her head and just blinked. "The Guildmaster is very honorable, and you must treat him with respect. If you disrespect the Guildmaster in anyway, you will never become part of this guild." He seemed to be threatening us. Suddenly, the door opened wide up and a female Wigglytuff walked out.

"Chatot," She chimed cheerfully, yet I think it was supposed to be a scolding. "Are you scaring our new recruits off again?" She turned to us and Phoebe went into a bow. I blushed for her. The Wigglytuff laughed and made Phoebe stand erect. "No need for =such formality, friends! If you want to be recruits, come with me!" She said cheerfully and lead us into her room. It was a big room with two torches and a giant pile of Perfect Apples in the corner. But what caught my eye were all the treasure chests everywhere. Anything glittery or sparkly, you name it and it was there.

"Wow…" Phoebe said with her eyes sparkling just as much as the treasures with awe. "It's simply breathtaking!" I had to admit, I was more than impressed.

"So, what's your team name?" She asked happily and I turned to Phoebe, who had turned to me.

"Uhmmm… We didn't think of one yet…" I said and Wigglytuff's eyes opened wider.

"Then do so now! Oooooh, I get to help name a team!" She cheered and I almost swat dropped as she started listing names. "Team Glitter, or Team Sparkle, or Team Treasure, or Team Apple, and if you don't like it you can always change it!" She said happily and something clicked in my head.

"What about Team Change?" I suggested to Phoebe and she cocked her head at me.

"Team Change? Yeah, that is a cool name…" She said and we turned to Wigglytuff, now playing with a Perfect Apple on her head. "Team Change."

"Team Change? Okay! That's a great name!" She said happily and went to a treasure chest in the back of the room. "Okay Team Change… This is what you get!" She said happily, handing us a small treasure chest. "Open it!" She said excitedly and I hesitantly opened the chest. Inside were a Pink Bow and a band of some sort. "The Pink Bow increases every stat at once, except for speed of course, and the Special Band will up the Special Attack stat!" She said and Phoebe grabbed the Special Band, fitting it onto her arm.

"Cool! This is so amazing!" She said happily, and I looked at the Pink Bow skeptically. Am I supposed to wear a Pink Bow?

"Do you maybe want to switch?" I asked and she shook her head.

"No way! You don't even have a special move! What use would a Special Band be to you?" She asked and picked up the Bow and put it around my neck. "Be a man and wear the Pink Bow," She said happily and I sighed. May as well. I took out the other contents of the treasure chest as Phoebe's excitement would murder everyone in this building if I didn't.

"Oh cool!" I said taking out a Badge of some sort. "What's this do?"

"That's an Explorer Badge!" Wigglytuff chimed happily as Phoebe's eyes gleamed while looking over said badge. "You take it with you every where! Unlike normal items, you'll never lose this when you faint in a dungeon, so you needn't worry about that! It helps in missions, when you find a Pokemon or complete an escort; you send them back to the Guild with the badge! And if you defeat an outlaw or want to leave after finding a Pokemon or something, it'll transport you too!" She said and I started fantasizing leaving in the middle of a battle I was about to lose to keep all the items and money. "But there's a catch, if you try to use it to escape without completing a mission, you'll be giving up, and you'll lose half of your money and items anyways." Well, there goes that idea. Phoebe grabbed a bag that had come out of the treasure chest, examining it.

"What's that?" I asked and Phoebe looked like I had just said I was an anti-Arceus.

'What's that?" She repeated and I nodded slowly, not exactly liking her tone. "What's that? This is a treasure bag! Every explorer needs one! It has the amazing ability that you can fit all kinds of stuff in it without getting heavy or bigger!" Imagining putting the world in a treasure bag, yes. "But of course since we're only starting out we won't be able to fit as much in as we would be able to later, I think we can only put in 24 items." Maybe I should stop fantasizing while I still can.

'Well you're the smart explorer aren't you!" Wigglytuff said happily and Phoebe beamed at the praise. Wigglytuff was about to go into another sentence, when she started laughing crazily.

"Uhmmmm… Guildmaster, what's so funny?" Chatot, who had been quiet for quite awhile, asked.

"I never learned your names!" She giggled and Chatot sighed.

"I'm Phoebe!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"And I'm Salazar," I said.

"Then by the Guildmaster powers vested in me…" She began dramatically as I unfortunately started thinking about a wedding ceremony. "I pronounce you, Salazar the Riolu, and you, Phoebe the Ralts, Team Change!" Yep, it still sounds like a wedding ceremony with a few different words. Phoebe cried out in joy.

"It's finally happening!" she cheered. "Finally!"

"You'll start your training tomorrow, in the meantime…" Wigglytuff said and I cocked my head.

"Dinner!" A Clefairy chimed, and I blinked. This is such a weird place.

"Come on, let's go!" Phoebe cheered and dragged me along behind her.

But I'll get used to it.

*Pokemon*

Me: I could not find a better place to end it. I really couldn't.

Salazar: And I won't get in trouble for being here, seeing as it's my fanfiction!

Me: No Salazar, no you will not.

Phoebe: Oh, and Kitten wanted me to tell you that she realizes that she's changed up some of the Pokemon and some of the… genders… but she just wants to say that that might be happening a lot.

Me: Pretty much, yeah. Thanks Phoebe!

Phoebe: No problem!
