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

Enjoy!

-XOX-

"UP AND AT 'EM!" Loudred screamed. "IT'S MORNING!"

"Ugh… Morning, Kocchan…" Riolu said.

"Morning.." I said back.

"…AND THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!" We screamed.

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

"Hooray!" We screamed. Eveyone else walked away to do what they had to do. Me and Riolu just stood there, doing nothing.

"Hey! You two are still wandering around?" Chatot asked us. "Then, follow me!"

-XOX-

He led us upstairs, to a board on the right side of the room.

"Huh? The last time we did a race it was from the board on the other side." Riolu commented.

"That's right!" Chatot said. "But today you're going to do a job from this side of the room!"

"How is this board different from the one on the other side..?" Riolu asked.

"Take a closer look!" Chatot exclaimed.

"Wow, they all look pretty cool!" Riolu cried. "Are they famous explorers?"

"The Pokemon here… Are outlaws." Chatot explained. "They're all shady characters. And they're all wanted for committing crimes."

"What?" Riolu cried. "They're all wanted by the law?"

"Correct." Chatot said. "So they all have bounties on their heads. In other words, there is a huge cash reward if you capture one."

(I think he's lying!) I thought. (The last time we did a job, we only got 200P!)

"Wait, you expect us to catch outlaws?" Riolu asked. "Hell no, that's not possible!"

"Hee hee! Just joking!" Chatot laughed. "The bad Pokemon out there come out in all shades of badness! Some of those Pokemon are extremely wicked, through and through, but some Pokemon are petty thieves. So you've got evil to naughty and everything in between!"

"You say some of them are weak, but they're still bad Pokemon right?" Riolu asked. "Characters like that weird me out!"

"It's all part of your training. You'll work it out, I'm sure! But you do need to be prepared to confront a tough opponent, so I'll have someone give you a tour of the facilities."

"HEY! Bidoof! Bidoof?" Chatot cried.

"Yup, yup!" A voice from downstairs said. Up the stairs came a beaver-looking Pokemon, who was Bidoof.

"Ah, Bidoof! These are the new recruits that just joined us." Said Chatot. "Take them and show them around the town."

"Yes siree! By golly! I'll do just that! Yup yup!" Bidoof exclaimed.

"This is Bidoof. He's one of your apprentices. I want you to pay attention to what he says and follow his orders."

(We have to follow his orders?) I thought.

"Aw shucks! I'm overjoyed!" Bidoof said happily, tearing up.

"You don't have to cry…" Riolu said. "Just take us around town please!"

"Okay! First things first!" Bidoof cried. He took us downstairs and pointed to a shop with the shape of a Croagunk's head. "Here we have Croagunk, But to tell the truth, I have no idea what he's up to.. He's always fiddling around with that big cauldron back there, It's all a mystery to me, Yup Yup!"

"This way's the mess Hall." He pointed to the hall on the left. "And over here's the crew rooms." He pointed to the hall on the right. "And here's the Guildmaster's chamber.

Next, I'll show you places outside the guild!"

-XOX-

"I hear you can make a record of your progress at that watering hole." Bidoof said. "Usually, you can make a record of going to your bed at the guild, yup yup. Seems you can make a record of your adventure over there too."

Next, Bidoof took us to a place called Treasure Town.

"This is the main square for local Pokemon, It's called Treasure Town." Bidoof explained.

"Oh, I can tell you about Treasure Town too." Riolu said. "Over there, is Duskull Bank. We can save our money there."

"Isn't that why the call it a bank…?" I asked.

Riolu glared at me and continued on. "And there, is Electivire Link Shop. That's where you can do things such as link moves, but Electivire doesn't seem to be here today…"

Riolu took us to a shop called Kecleon Market.

"This is Kecleon Market. You can buy and sell items here." Riolu explained. "And there, is Kangaskhan storage. Items here will NEVER get lost."

"That about covers it, I guess." Riolu said.

"You sure know a lot, yes siree!" Bidoof said. "And that's good to know! Alrighty then, find me when you're ready to go. I'll give you a helping hand on selecting the right outlaw for you."

"Thanks Bidoof!" Riolu said. "You've really been nice about this."

"Golly, you're embarrassing me! Aw shucks.." Bidoof blushed. "I'll be waiting at the guild's upper ground floor for you!" He walked away.

"Let's go Kocchan!" Riolu said. "I'd like to see what kinds of items are available!"

We went toward the Kecleon Market and we saw two Pokemon, named Marill and Azurill, talking to the Kecleon.

"Hello. May I buy an apple?" Azurill asked one of the Kecleon.

"Oh most certainly!" The green Kecleon said.

"Thank you, misters Kecleon!" Marill said.

"No, thank you my young friends! You are to be admired!"

The brothers walked away.

"You see," The purple Kecleon explained. "Those delightful children are brothers. Lately there poor mother has fallen sick, So those young brothers do her shopping for her. It's awesome. So young and they've already taken charge."

"Misters Kecleon!" Marill cried.

"Oh, what's wrong? What makes you come back in such a rush?" Kecleon asked.

"There was a extra apple!" Azurill cried.

"We didn't pay for this many." Marill said.

"Oh yes, young friends, that is a gift from me and my brother." Kecleon said.

"Really?" Marill asked in happiness.

"Yay! Thank you Mr. Kecleon and Mr. Kecleon!" Azurill screamed.

The brothers walked away, but Azurill dropped his apple.

"Ow!" Azuill cried, tripping. The apple rolled towards me, I went to pick it up but then… I felt a sudden dizziness.

(Wh-what was that? It felt so.. weird.. Am I dizzy or what?) I thought.

-Vision-

H-h-help!

-End of vision-

(Wh-what was that?) I thought. (I'm sure I just heard a shout for help just now… Did that come from Azurill?)

"Is something the matter, Kocchan?" Azurill asked.

"Hey, Azurill! Hurry home!"Marill called.

"Yup! I'm coming! Wait up!" Azurill cried.

"Are you alright, Azurill?" Marill asked. "We need to find our lost item quickly!"

"Yup~ I'm coming!" The two walked off.

"Hahah! Those two are so cute!" Riolu said. He turned around to look at me. "Hm, what's wrong, Kocchan?"

"Did you….Did you just hear a shout for help?" I asked.

"Huh? No, I didn't! Why? Hey Kecleon brothers, did you guys hear a shout for help just now?" Riolu asked.

"No," The Kecleon brothers said.

"You probably just imagined that, Kocchan." Riolu said to me.

(No way, I didn't imagine that. I swear to Arceus that I heard a scream for help..) I thought. (It sounded like Azurill!)

"Hey, are you daydreaming?" Riolu asked.

"Huh?"

"Let's go already, Kocchan!" Riolu said,

"Okay," I said.

-XOX-

"Hey, what's going on over there?" Riolu asked. We saw a yellowish Pokemon talking to Azurill and Marill.

"….Yaaay!" Azurill cried.

"Thank you!" Marill cried.

"Please," The yellow Pokemon said. "It's nothing."

"What's going on?" Riolu asked.

Azurill turned around and saw Riolu. "Oh, hi!"

"Some time ago, we lost an item that was very important to us." Marill explained. "We've been looking all over, but we didn't find it yet! Then Mr. Drowzee came along, and he says that he might of saw our lost item somewhere!"

"Cool! That's great for you!" Riolu said.

"Thank you Drowzee!" Azurill said.

"Oh, please, I'd have a cold heart to help kids in need! I can't turn a blind eye!" said Drowzee. "Let us be on our way to begin our search!" They left, Drowzee bumped into me on the way.

"Ouch!" I said. "What the hell?"

"Whoops! Excuse me." Drowzee said.

Then another dizzy spell came again!

(Again? Th-this again…? What is it?) I thought.

"Wow, Drowzee sure is a nice Pokemon." Riolu said.

(It's happening again… The dizzy spell..)

-Vision-

"If you keep being difficult, it will mean BIG trouble for you!"Drowzee said.

"H-h-help me!" Azurill cried.

-End of vision-

(What was that?) I thought.

I sure hope those kids find their item soon," Riolu said. "Hm? Are you daydreaming again? What's with that grim look?"

"I need to tell you something." I said. "I had a dizzy spell, and… and I saw Azurill being threatened by Drowzee."

"Wh-what? So you want to go rescue Azurill right away?" Riolu asked.

"Yes!" I cried.

"It's not like I don't believe you, Kocchan, but Drowzee seems like a nice Pokemon right? I watched them go off earlier. They looked like they were having a good time, right? You know what? You're probably just tired, Kocchan. Maybe that's why you had that daydream." Riolu said.

(But!) I thought.

"Let's go back to the guild, Kocchan," Riolu said. He began to push me toward the guild.

-XOX-

We went back to the guild on the upper ground floor, where we found Bidoof waiting.

"Let's pick ourselves an out law for you to find." Bidoof said. "Well, you've got your pick of these sorry bunch of characters."

"So, which one should we pick?" Riolu asked.

"Ahem, as your mentor, how about I do the choosing?" Bidoof said.

"Don't pick one that looks scary!" Riolu told him.

"Yes siree! I hear you, Let's see, Eenie, meanie…"

A voice said, "Stand clear, updating listings! Stand clear! Updating listings!"

"Wh-what's happening?" Riolu asked.

"Oh, the data's getting updated." Bidoof said.

Soon, after the data has been updated, Bidoof said, "So let's pick one!"

"Hm, Riolu? Why are you shivering all of a sudden?" Bidoof asked. "It's not cold in here, anyway."

"T-take a look at this, Kocchan!" Riolu said. "Up top! On the left!"

"It's Drowzee!" I cried. "I knew it!"

"He's a wanted criminal!" Riolu stated. "We have to get moving! Azurill will be in serious trouble!"

We ran off to save Azurill.

"Now what's going on?" Bidoof asked.

-XOX-
