Chapter Four
A Storm in the Night
It has been 6 weeks since the twins joined on at the guild, and they had finally finished basic training. Now it was time for the announcement.
"You all have completed your basic training course here at the guild," said Chatot, "so now it is time to complete your rescue and explorer team kits."
Chatot went to each team, and gave them an advanced explorer kit with more storage space in their bags, and…
"And now you also have the power to recruit more team members, so you may complete your missions quicker and easier."
"Awesome, we can have more Pokémon on our team now Keldeo!" said Keldea.
"Now go on ahead with your daily duties, and don't shirk your work!" finished Chatot.
After they left the guild, the duo headed into treasure town to pick up supplies for the guild at the Kecleon Shop.
"Ah, yes, here you go you two, "said the Kecleon.
"Thank you, bye," said Keldea and the two were on their way.
On their way back, they overheard a conversation between Duskull of the Duskull bank and Marowak of the Marowak Dojo.
"Did you hear about the storm heading this way?" asked Marowak.
"Yes, I did," said Duskull, "A storm as powerful as it is said to be will keep the rescue teams on their toes."
"Did you hear that Keldea?" asked Keldeo.
"Yeah, but since we're still training, we probably won't be able to do anything." responded Keldea.
The duo finished their errands and went back to the guild. It was beginning to get dark when the storm clouds began rolling in. It was then Wigglytuff called the rescue teams into the main hall of the guild in an emergency meeting, even the rookie teams.
"Everyone, we have a situation here in treasure town," said Chatot, "Guildmaster, if you'd please."
"A massive storm is coming towards treasure town, and we need all of our rescue and exploration teams," said Wigglytuff," and because of the scale, we need ALL of them, even our newest teams."
"You will all receive your assignments as they come in," said Chatot, "until then, you are all officially on stand-by."
The group dispersed into their teams and began moving around the guild.
"This is it Keldeo, our first official mission!" said Keldea, "I'm getting nervous."
"Don't, this is what we signed up for, right," encouraged Keldeo
"Right," said Keldea.
And the first rescue teams were sent out very quickly. Chatot then came up to the duo.
"You two I want to stay outside the guild and watch for the rescue teams to come back for now," said Chatot.
"You can count on us Chatot," said the duo.
As they exited the guild the fierce wind hit them hard.
"Whoa, I knew it would be bad but this is really strong!" said Keldea.
"Yeah, but we have a pretty simple job at least," said Keldeo.
So the two waited and watched for the rescue teams as they returned and left.
But suddenly, Keldea saw something, the shadow of a Pokémon in the sky.
"Did you see that!?" said Keldea.
"No, what?" asked Keldeo.
"Look up there!" said Keldea and pointed to the area she saw the shadow.
Lightning flashed and suddenly the Pokémon's shadow appeared and suddenly dropped.
"I saw that that time!" said Keldeo, "Come On!"
They rushed over to where the Pokémon had landed, and found a Shaymin lying on the ground, barely conscious.
"Let's hurry and get it to the guild!" said Keldea.
"Right, let's go!" agreed Keldeo.
Keldea rushed into the main hall first. Chatot saw this and was very angry.
"What are you doing here, why aren't back out front!?" shouted Chatot.
Keldeo then came hurrying in with the Shaymin on his back.
"We saw this Shaymin fall out of the sky so we hurried and brought it back in here," said Keldea.
"Well… that is understandable then," said Chatot, "Hurry and bring it this way."
The duo stayed outside the room the Shaymin was being treated in the rest of the night. The rest of the night was fairly uneventful as the storm began to die down.
The next morning, the duo was fast asleep outside the room when Chatot came by.
"Are you two awake," asked Chatot.
The duo slowly woke up, and found Chatot instead of Loudred.
"Wow, it's different waking up calmly than Loudred blasting our eardrums," said Keldeo.
"I would like you to know that the Shaymin you rescued last night is recovering fine." said Chatot.
"Thank goodness," said Keldea.
"It was just exhausted from trying to fly through the storm," explained Chatot, "It got caught on the edge of town."
And after that Chatot went back through on to the main hall.
"Last night sure was hectic," said Keldeo, "but at least it all ended well."
As the sun rose on the guild and the thin white clouds parted, the duo wondered what would come of this new possible friend.
