Mudkip-after crying on the ground for a good minute-heads on home. After returning home, he sees that his parents are out. He heads up to his room, lays down on his bed, and stares at the ceiling. The Mudkip was so upset by the situation that he didn't cry or even speak. He just stared up at the ceiling.
Meanwhile Bulbasaur is walking through the fields and sees Mudkip's home but refuses to go near it. He was so enraged by the fact that the first person he knew-after losing his memory-would just lie to him like that. Bulbasaur had nowhere to go, so he headed north. He takes a left off the main path and sits down in front of a tree, leaning on it.
"Damnit." Bulbasaur mumbled to himself. His anger turned to guilt. Guilty because he made this Mudkip cry.
He stares up and looks at the branches, contemplating whether or not to go back to Mudkip's place and apologize for what he did. But then Bulbasaur fell asleep. He still felt a litte fatigued from his head truama.
"NO BR...DON'T DO IT!" Someone shouts out.
He quickly jolts awake. That voice Bulbasaur heard; it sounded familiar. But he could not remember where he heard it before. Bulbasaur begins to observe the environment around him and realizes that he overslept.
"Are you kidding me? It's already sunset?" Bulbasaur says. A surge of pain goes through Bulbasaur's head. It was not as bad as the pain he felt earlier. "Jeez."
Bulbasaur heads back to the main path and continues heading straight, into town. On his way to the square he thinks about heading back to Mudkip's place and apologizing for hurting his feelings and maybe giving him a second chance. But he does not listen to his conscience and heads into town.
Bulbasaur spends some time in Pok mon Square exploring the town and thinks about Mudkip. He felt so guilty for making him cry that the sadness on his face was almost noticeable.
His stomach began growling. Bulbasaur was hungry. He hasn't eaten for hours. The last thing he ate was that Miltank wrap made by Mudkip's mother. He sees a Snubull standing by himself in the middle of town. No one was talking to him so Bulbasaur decided to walk over to him.
"Hey, is there any place around here where I can get a bite?" He asks the Snubull.
"Oh yeah, The Square Diner. Just head north of the Whishcash Pond and take a right and you'll be there."
"Thanks."
"You're not from around here are you?" The Snubull asks the Bulbasaur.
"Uh...I'm just moving in." Bulbasaur says.
As he walks to The Square Diner Bulbasaur started thinking about Mudkip. He sighs, still feeling guilty. But then he starts thinking about what he said to that Snubull. He had nowhere else to go, so he decided that he would become a resident of Pok mon Square. But the first thing he had to do was grab a bite to eat. He was very hungry.
He sees The Square Diner, which was located at the edge of a hill. Behind it was a lake. Bulbasaur walks over to the diner, opens it's doors and goes inside.
There were not that many people in the diner. The walls were made of wood planks and the floor covered by a gray carpet. At every booth on the left and in the back of the diner, there are windows.
Bulbasaur stared out the window at the back of the diner, seeing the clear, blue lake.
An Audino walks up to him "Hello. How can I help you?" The Waitress said in a kind tone.
She caught the Bulbasaur off guard. "Oh sorry. I spaced out." Bulbasaur said, caught by surpise "It's a lovely view of the lake."
"It is." The Audino said. "Just you?" She asked.
"Yeah just me." Bulbasaur said calmly. He began to feel loneliness. "All alone." Bulbasaur mumbled under his breath.
"Sit anywhere you'd like." The Waitress said, delightfully.
Bulbasaur goes to a booth in the back and begins to stare out the window. There is a menu on the table with various selections of food.
He hears the voice of a girl behind him "I'm thinking we should get a water type on our team. Y'know just a combination idea."
He hears the sound of a boy. "Sounds like a good plan." Obviously he was talking to the girl.
Bulbasaur became curious and decided to look behind him. He sees a Chikorita and a Charmander in the booth behind his.
Out of nowhere, Bulbasaur says to the two "Yeah, but who's gonna be the leader? Or is it going to be a three way partnership?"
The Chikorita replied "We don't have third partner yet and it's none of your buisness."
"Oh sorry. Uh...you're a rescue team right? I'm just curious." Bulbasaur asked.
"Yeah and we're starting tomorrow." The Charmander said.
"You're supposed to have a name for a rescue team, right?" Bulbasaur asked, now growing more curious and deciding to team up with Mudkip again.
"Yeah. It's a requirement." Chikorita said.
"Okay." Bulbasaur said. He remained silent for a couple of seconds before he started talking again. "I'm just asking because well I'm starting tomorrow too." Bulbasaur said, his choice was made. "You have a name yet, for your team?" He asked.
"We're going with Team Go-getters." Chikorita said.
Bulbasaur starts to blush and smile. "Well you better go get them." Bulbasaur says, sounding flighty.
That strange feeling Bulbasaur was having; a very powerful emotion. It was love. He just met this girl but he wanted to tell her how he felt. But he decided to give it some time until he would make a move.
He ordered his meal, then they ordered theres. Suddenly, Bulbasaur's feeling of love turned into worry. He forgot something and without it, he could get arrested.
"Shit. I don't have any money." Bulbasaur said. He grew fearful. What was he going to do? He thought about eating his meal, sprinting out of the diner, and getting out of town. It was his first day out in the world since his memory loss and he was mostly likely going to the big house.
"I'll pay for it." Chikorita said without a second thought.
Bulbasaur sighed in relief. "Thank you." He said to her. His worry and anxiety subsided.
Charmander thought about questioning her course of actions but he did not since he knew her for so long. Chikorita and Charmander first met in the same academy Mudkip was in. The two were roomates at the time and since then, they became friends. By the time the two graduated from the academy they decided to partner up and name there team, Go-getters.
"So, who's your partner?" Chikorita asked, wanting to know more about Bulbasaur's affliation in the rescue team force.
"He's my boss actually: A Mudkip." Bulbasaur answered.
"Oh you mean that Mudkip?" Chikorita asks Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur, having no knowledge on Mudkip's backstory says "I don't understand? What do you mean by 'That Mudkip'?"
"The one who was constantly teased by those twins." Charmander says. "They did some pretty nasty stuff to him. Insults, blackmail, once in a while beatings. I thought the kid was gonna drop the academy. Nearly did too."
"And why would the academy accept heartless monsters like that?" Bulbasaur asked, now feeling sorry for the Mudkip and mad at the Plusle and Minun.
Charmander answers "Because there father was CEO of the PMD Bank and he threatened to sue the academy if they didn't accept the two."
"They bragged about it." Chikorita said.
Bulbasaur stayed quiet for another couple seconds, contemplating. He decides to get this issue with Mudkip off his chest "The Mudkip's pretty sensitive." Bulbasaur says.
"How did you know?" Chikorita asked Bulbasaur.
"Because I made him cry earlier. I didn't know he was gonna act like that."
"What did you do?" Chikorita asked.
Bulbasaur answered "He fibbed about my backstory and I overreacted. I told him that I was leaving the team and he broke down. I was the only one he recruited and I had to do something as stupid as that." Bulbasaur grew frustrated with himself. But he was starting to feel better since he had a lot on his mind about what happened. "After I'm done with my meal, I'm going to his place and apologizing."
"You're a true gentleman, y'know." Chikorita says.
She looks through her bag and retrieves a gold coin with a "P" engraved at it's center. She gets out of her seat and places it in front of Bulbasaur.
"Sometimes I wish boys could be more like you; honest." She says to him.
"Hey I'm honest." Charmander says to Chikorita.
"I wasn't referring to you. Just boys in general." Chikorita says.
Bulbasaur began to blush again. He took a quick look at Chikorita's behind, before she got back in her seat.
After finishing his meal and paying for it, he leaves the diner and goes on a sprint, to Mudkip's home.
As soon as Bulbasaur got to his place, he thought about knocking on the door. But instead he decided to sneak a peek through the window and notices that Mudkip's parents are asleeping, cuddling. Since that Bulbasaur did not want to disturb them, he looks up at the other window and grabs onto the latches using his vines. He effortlessly picked himself off the ground and pulls himself to the second floor window. He sees Mudkip laying on his back, staring at the ceiling.
Bulbasaur begins knocking on the window with his front legs, trying to get the Mudkip's attention. Mudkip looks over at the window and looks up back at the ceiling.
"Mudkip open up! It's about the rescue team!" Bulbasaur shouts.
Mudkip gets out of his silky, yet comfy bed and opens the window. Bulbasaur enters the room.
"Look Mudkip. I'm sorry for what I did."
Mudkip begins looking down at the ground and starts stroking the sandstone floor with his front right foot.
"Hear me out. I've got nowhere else to go and you need a recruit. So I've decided to give you a second chance."
A smile forms on Mudkip's face.
"But there's one thing that you have to do for me. Be honest and don't lie not just to me, but everyone else as well. You promise?"
"I promise." Mudkip says calmly.
"We start tomorrow?" Bulbasaur asks his superior.
"We start tomorrow." Mudkip answers.
The Bulbasaur and Mudkip nod at each other in agreement and the two shake on it.
"But you still need to think of a name for your rescue team. Can I offer a suggestion?" Bulbasaur says.
"I'm all ears." Mudkip says.
"How about Team Cyan. It's sort of a fitting. I'm a bluish green color and your a light blue so I'd say that fits." Bulbasaur says.
Mudkip agrees with the name of the team and nods his head so show that he agreed.
So after a good night's rest, the two head on over to the Pelipper Post Office. On the way there, Mudkip explains to his subordiante how a rescue team system works: that they would have to check the corkboard outside the building and decide which rescue mission they would do. After there arrival, they get an envelope on the corkboard.
The mission they signed up for was to rescue a Caterpie from Tiny Woods. It had stumbled into the forest after running off from his mother.
The voice of a girl is heard behind the two "Oh lucky you, found yourself a bitch and/or recruit." The Plusle and Minun appeared behind the two, both holding grins on there faces waiting for the Mudkip to respond.
Bulbasaur cut off Mudkip and said "You must be the twins. The both of you should tread lightly." Bulbasaur boasts. "We'll head out Mudkip, on your orders."
"Let's get out of here." Mudkip says.
"Yes sir." Bulbasaur says, sneering at the Plusle and Minun waiting for them to talk back.
No response from either of them, except for them looking at the two with contempt. Bulbasaur and Mudkip head out of town, to there destination for there first rescue mission, Tiny Woods.
