Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or characters.. This is my edited version of the story with more romance (In later chapters!)

ENJOY!

-XOX-

"Hey, WAKE UP!" An extremely loud voice screamed, interrupting my sleep.

What is that? Is that thing trying to blast my eardrums?" I thought,

"My poor ears.." Riolu thought to himself.

"What the hell are you two DOING? WAKE UP!"

"Damn, it's so loud.." Riolu thought.

"I'm LOUDRED! I'm a fellow apprentice at the guild! If you're late for our morning routine, you'll be SORRY! So get up and MOVE IT!" Loudred screamed. "Wigglytuff has a BIG temper. If you make him lose it…. Ugh, I don't even wanna think about it.. Anyway, I'm not going to get in trouble because you got up late! SO WAKE UP!"

"W-what was all that about?" Riolu asked. "Did he say something about… getting ready?"

"He said that we had a morning routine, and we will be sorry if we're late, so….. Holy crap, we're late!" I cried.

"We have to hurry, Kocchan!" Riolu said, as we ran out of our room.

-XOX-

When we got to the main room, everyone was waiting and we were greeted with "You're LATE rookies!" by Loudred.

"Shut UP!" Everyone said. "You're voice is ridiculously loud!

"Humph,," Loudred sighed.

"Everyone seems to be here. Very well, let's conduct our morning address." Chatot said. "Guildmaster! The guild is in full attendance!"

The door to Wigglytuff's office opened and Wigglytuff stepped out.

"Thank you! Now please address the crew!" Chatot said.

"Zzzz,,,,,,, Snore…"

"Was Wigglytuff….. asleep? With his eyes OPEN!"
I screamed in my head.

"Well, thank you for those words of…..wisdom, Wigglytuff!" Chatot said. "Okay Pokemon, let's take our words of wisdom to our heart! Finally, let's not forget our morning cheers! All together now!"

"A-ONE, A-TWO, A-ONE TWO THREE!" Everyone cried.

"ONE! DON'T SHIRK WORK!

TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY!

THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!"

"Okay, Pokemon get to work!" Chatot said.

"HOORAY!" Everyone cried. The other apprentices walked away to do what they had to do.

"Kocchan, Riolu, you two follow me!" Chatot exclaimed. He walked towards the stairs, skipping as usual.

We followed him upstairs and he lead us to a board with a lot of papers on it.

"This is the job bulletin board. Pokemon from various reigons post job requests here. You know that more pokemon are becoming bad right? Chatot asked.

"Yes," Riolu said. "Because the flow of time is getting jacked up. It's wrecking havoc, right?"

"The flow of time is getting messed up?"I thought. "That's strange.. Do they mean that something has gone wrong with time? And, because of that, more and more bad Pokemon are popping up? What is wrong with this place?"

"Yes." Chatot said. "Because time is getting out of whack, it has caused an outbreak of bad Pokemon. And, because of all that, we have gotten a lot of job requests. And we don't know if this is related to time's influence, but there has been a mass outbreak of… Mystery dungeons."

"Mystery dungeons?" I cried,

"So, Kocchan!" Riolu said to me. "You know how we got my Relic Fragment yesterday? That place was called Beach Cave. I think it's a mystery dungeon!"

"That sounds cool.." I said.

"A dungeon changes everytime you enter it. There's a different layout and the items are different each time you enter! If you faint in the middle of a dungeon, you lose half of your money, even half of your items or more, finally, you get kicked out. It's messed up. But it sounds fun!"

"Well well, you're quite informed, aren't you! That makes things easier to explain!" Chatot cried. "All jobs take place in mystery dungeons. So, let's look for a job that you can perform!"

Chatot looked and looked until he found one. "Here you go!"

The letter said:

"Hello, my name is Spoink! An outlaw has run off with my pearl. That pearl has a life.. to me! I just go CRAZY if that pearl isn't on my head! Please get it back! It's at an unsafe, rocky bluff called, Drenched Bluff, Please get it back for me!

-Spoink"

"Hahah, Spoink sounds like a funny name!" I said, laughing.

"Wait… back up….. We're going to fetch an item that someone dropped?" Riolu's voice raised, almost shouting. "I'd rather do something that's more of an adventure or look for a treasure, know what I'm saying?"

"Did you not just read the part where an OUTLAW stole his or her item?" I screamed back. "An outlaw stole his item, so that means we have to kill the outlaw! DUH."

"HUSH!" Chatot cried.

"Oh crap!" Me and Riolu said together.

"It's important that you rookies pay your dues!" Chatot screamed. "Now pay attention! I'll repeat the warnings again to make sure they stick in your tiny brains!"

"He's tiny too…" Riolu whispered to me,

"If either of you faint, you will be forced out of the dungeon and will be sent back here. You'll lose half your money! And half of you're items or more! You better be careful! Do you understand?"

"We understand!" Me and Riolu said.

"Well, get on with with the job!" Chatot said.

"Okay," Riolu said.

-XOX-

"Is this the bluff's entrance?" I asked. "Spoink was right about this place being unsafe.."

"Oh, you're just afraid of all the rock type Pokemon right?" Riolu teased,

"Wha-what?" I cried, getting ready to run.

"No! No, Kocchan, you're not gonna run away. Anyway, Spoink's item, according to the letter, is somewhere on the B7F. Anyway, let's do our best, Kocchan! And try not to get scared of all the rock types and run away."

"Oh, Shut up!" I said. "Let's go in already!"

We went into the dungeon and immediately, we were attacked by a Shellos and an Anorith.

"Get ready!" I cried, getting ready to attack Shellos. "Tackle!" I tackled Shellos to the ground, but it countered with a water pulse that I dodged.

"Haha! Bet you can't keep up with my SPEED!" I cried, using faint attack, and Shellos fainted.

Meanwhile, Riolu was battling the Anorith and saw that it wasn't weak to Riolu's fighting type moves.

"….Shit… This is gonna take a long time," Riolu said to himself. Anorith used water gun on me, but Riolu blocked it with an Aura Sphere. Anorith was severely weakened then I used Ember on it, making it faint.

"That's teamwork right there!" I cried, giving Riolu a high-five. "Now, let's get going then."

-XOX-

A few hours later, we reached B7F.

"Hey look, there's the pearl!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, but where's the outlaw?" Riolu asked. "Didn't the letter say that there was an outlaw….?"

"It said that the outlaw DROPPED the item. So we had to get it back." I said.

"Really? Because you said that there was an outlaw and that we had to kill it.."

"Huh? Why would you believe me? I don't know what I'm saying~" I said, smiling.

"So you tricked me about that huh?" Riolu questioned.

"Hmm, let's just say…. Yes! Because there was a letter that said that there was an outlaw who DROPPED the item. Can't you read?" I said, "Anyway, Chatot will KILL us if we're late!"

When we got back to the guild, we gave the pearl back to Spoink.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you for getting me my pearl back!" Spoink exclaimed. "I go really crazy if that pearl isn't on my head. That's why I have all these bruises and cuts! But thanks to you, that nightmare is over! Here, take a Protien, a Calcium, and 2000P!"

"Damn, we get all of that money?" Riolu screamed in happiness. "We're rich Kocchan!"

"Of course you can have it! It's nothing compared to my pearl's value! Bye-Bye!" Spoink said. He left.

"Well done, team!" Chatot said. "Now hand over the money, if you please!"

"Excuse me?" I said, confused. Why should we give him OUR money?

"You see, most of the money from the jobs goes to our Guildmaster you see!" Chatot explained. "And this is how much money you get! 200P!"

"W-What?" Me and Riolu cried.

"That's so not fair!" I cried.

"It's the guild rules." Chatot said. "You'll have to live with it!"

"Urk.." Riolu sighed.

-XOX-

"Everyone!" Chimecho exclaimed. "It's dinner time!"

"OH YEAH!" Everyone cried.

"Let's CHOW!" Loudred screamed. We all ran towards the Mess Hall and we all started chowing down the apples and the other foods like there was no tomorrow!

"Damn, I'm stuffed…" An apprentice said. "Yeah, I'm full, I'm tired!" Another apprentice said.

"Well, I'm off to bed. Good night everyone!"

"Good night!"

-XOX-

"Yo, Kocchan, you still awake?" Riolu asked.

"What is it this time, Riolu?"

"You know, I thought today was fun right? We got our first job and it turned out well, but I was still pissed on how the guild took most of the money.."

"I know, right?" I said.

"But, ya know what really made me happy? We got thanked by Spoink!"

"Yeah.." I said, getting sleepy.

"I'm getting tired,"Riolu said. "Goodnight, Kocchan!"

"Night, Riolu!"

-XOX-
