Chatot peers down at the new recruits, Riolu and Mana. Riolu fidgets under his stare while Mana stares back at the Guildmaster's right hand pokemon, as Chatot put it. "Your training begins tomorrow bright and early, so don't miss it or you'll feel the wrath of our guildmaster. Now, let me show you to your rooms." Mana and Riolu follow after Chatot and he explains the rules. Mana is too busy with her own thoughts as she ponders what's next. Would they immediately start their explorations? How will they go about finding clues as to each other's questions?
"…Wigglytuff's office to officialize your team name." Chatot's voice startles Mana back into the present and following the pokemon, she looks at Riolu for an explanation. "What does Chatot mean by an exploration name?" "Oh, that just means that our name is recorded into the guildmaster's record book. Umm, it lets everyone know that we…are just as important as the other members." "So basically, you don't know either," Mana says, letting out a small sigh and then mumbling, "You could've just said you weren't paying attention either." At this, Riolu lets out an embarrassed giggle.
The three arrive outside Wigglytuff's door. Chatot enters, but not before threatening punishment on Mana and Riolu should they not give Wigglytuff the proper respect. Riolu gulps, already terrified and he looks at the open door, daring him to run. Mana stands her ground, feeling a little intimidated until the large pink fluff yells out, "Yoom-tah!" Chatot introduces the guildmaster to Mana and Riolu and both of them bow their heads in respect.
"Now that that's out of the way, it's time to decide what your team name is." "U-uh, already? B-but we didn't even prepare for it yet!" Riolu says, feeling flustered. He looks over at his new partner for help and both Wigglytuff and Chatot turn their attention to Mana. Something whispers to her and without wasting another second, she replies, "Future. Our team name will be Future." She glances over at Riolu and he's nodding in agreement. With that, Team Future is recorded in with the rest of the exploration teams and has been recognized by Guildmaster Wigglytuff.
Riolu lies on his bed, his back to Mana. No matter how hard he tries, he just can't get to sleep. This whole day as just been too important for him. First, he met Mana and she helped get his treasure back from those bad pokemon. He got over his fear and was finally able to join Wigglytuff's guild with his new partner and finally, they were able to become an official exploration team. Somehow, everything seems right and tomorrow starts their journey to new adventures. He closes his eyes, his exhaustion getting the best of him.
Mana turns over and looks out the small window. Just this morning she had woken up on a beach with no memory as to why and now she is here, partnered up with a new friend who seems to really want to help her. But a small trouble tugs her mind and her eyes wander over to Riolu's back. What if the reason why she doesn't remember is because something bad happened to her? Could she have forgotten to protect herself? Another thought sneaks its way into her and Mana sits up, gasping. She glances down at her pokemon body. I can't think about it right now. Riolu said we would look for answers together and no matter how painful it might be or how frightened I am, I must learn the truth about myself. But in order to do that, I need to get some sleep. Slowly, Mana lays back down and watching Riolu's back calms her down long enough for her to fall asleep.
