ultima-owner: Hey ultima-Owner!

Thanks for the Reply! ;)

Yeah, Brionne's Inclusion in this Fic (And once I finish writing with Mermaid Legends of Paldea, Paldean Explorers (AKA what this Fic is part of) as well) is mostly for World-building with the Wigglytuff Guild where they have a Nurse and two Extra Guild Apprentices (Cyclizar and Bisharp if you're wondering),

It's also to allow Inclusion of Post Gen 4 Pokemon in the Explorers Storyline as well since if I'm using the Paldea starters for Juliana, Arven and Penny, it's only fair newer Gen Pokemon would be included as well.

But their existance is mostly for world building however, So don't worry about it.

(So Don't worry, Every Major Character in the Explorers Storyline (AKA Wigglytuff, Chatot, Celebi, Dusknoir AND ESPECIALLY GROYVLE, Etc) remains the same Species in Paldean Explorers, So any Characters whom Species is altered for Paldean Explorers would likely be minor Characters at best, So don't worry about it at least)

So Ultima-Owner, I do have to ask you some questions:

1: What are your thoughts on the Choices for Pokemon I turned the Paldea Gang (Juliana/Arven/Nemona/Penny) into for this Story?

Do they fit for the Four at least (Penny's an Obvious one but what about Juliana, Arven and Nemona?)

2: Which PMD Game Fits the Paldea Gang the Most?

I Say Explorers would work quite well with the Paldea Gang due to how Both Scarlet and Violet/Explorers Share Treasure Hunting and Time Travel as a Theme (As well as both having arguably really good characters like Groyvle and the Paldea Gang) but what do you think?

3: So Between Scarlet and Violet and SwSh, Which is the one you consider the Better Game (Or at least, The one people hate less)

The Internet can be rather vicious about opinions on Modern Pokemon Games, But which one between Scarlet and Violet and SwSh do they hate less?

Similarly, Do you think Scarlet and Violet are more memorable then XY at least?

Regardless, I'm glad you liked this Fic and Brionne's inclusion to this Story as well! ;)

Thanks and see Ya! ;)

Author's Note:

Hey Guys, MegaSalamence64 here, Welcome back to the Next Chapter of Downtime with Team Paldea.

So with Pokemon Legends:Z-A Being released for Next Year (Hey GameFreak's Learning, Good for them), That leaves us more time in Paldea and since a New Mythical is likely heading our way… I guess the Hidden Treasures Epilogue isn't the end just yet….

Similarly, Pokemon Horizons is no doubt giving Paldea a fallback with the Next Arc giving the Scarlet and Violet Cast the Focus with Liko, Roy and Dot training in the Narjanja Academy (With not only Nemona returning but Penny, The Paldea Elite 4, Grusha, Katy, Clavell and Geeta also appearing as well)

So yeah, Not only is Paldea being the First Region since Sinnoh where a Grass Starter Evolves in the Main Cast in the Anime (Ash's Torterra was our last Grass Starter who evolved that's part of the Main Cast) but it's also the Third Region since Sinnoh and Alola (Even if there's no Elite 4 in the Alola Anime, All 5 People whom are part of it did appear at some point at least) where ALL OF THE ELITE FOUR APPEAR IN THEIR REGION'S ANIME RUN (Kalos and Kanto has the Elite Four have at least one member whom didn't appear in their Region's Anime (Drasna for Kalos/Agatha (Since Lance became Champion in the Johto Games) for Kanto) while Unova and Hoenn (As well as Galar by Virtue of the Championship being our elite four) only has one/two elite four member appear while Johto has neither Will or Karen appear in the Anime)

Likewise, Penny's Inclusion means we just need Arven and we're good! (Though the Mabostiff on the Poster of the New Horizons Arc is a big clue he may be coming soon at least),

Heck, Compared to Journeys where not only did Bede and Kiara/Avery Didn't appear but Hop and Marnie also showed up extremely late as well (And thus unable to truly get the Redemption they could have gotten for their lackluster stories in the Games),

But Nemona appearing earlier back in Episode 10 of Horizons and Penny's upcoming debut means at least Paldea has the upperhand in terms of focus since once Arven comes, All Three Paldea rivals are basically in the Anime and also means more Paldea focus as well, Meaning Horizons is truly fixing a lot of Journey's flaws for sure at least (Ok, Wattrel Focus is a must but hopefully next arc is fixing this soon at least)

Remember, If Kalos can be redeemed via it's Anime and Manga, Paldea can at least have the Anime to help show it's great cast in a better light for those frustrated with the Technical issues of it, Galar failed for me due to the lack of a Good Anime to showcase SwSh's Plots and characters in a good light no thanks to Journey's lack of focus for SwSh content, And Regardless of your thoughts on Horizons, It's doing a much better job at Paldea Focus then Jouneys did with Galar….

Ok, I may gotten a little carried away but you get the idea at least.

Nothing really much else to say here, other than Enjoy this Story! ;)

See You down below! ;)

Penny Chapter: Understanding one's Plight

Continuity: Takes place the Night after the Expedition to Fogbound Lake but before Dusknoir arrives at the Guild.

(XXXX)

World of Mystery Dungeons, Grass Continent, Treasure Town, Wigglytuff's Guild, Guild Rooms, Nighttime,

While he's usually the heavier sleeper out of the two of them, Chimchar is for once unable to sleep right now with his Partner Piplup Resting like a Snorlax for a change while their Fellow Teammates Juliana, Arven and Nemona also sleeping like a log as well.

To say the Recent Expedition to Fogbound Lake should take a lot out of him would be an Understatement to say the least.

Form venturing far form the Guild to discovering the Secret of Fogbound Lake (A Time Gear to be exact), As well as FIGHTING THE TITAN OF THE EARTH HIMSELF (AND GUARDIAN OF FOGBOUND LAKE), GROUDON (Or rather, An Illusionary Groudon made by the Real Guardian of Fogbound Lake Uxie), It was something the Fire Monkey Pokemon wasn't expecting to do at all.

While it was disappointing to not bring any treasures back form the Fogbound lake, They do have to promise Uxie not to tell any of Fogbound Lake or the Time Gear (As Removing it can cause Disastrous Results if the Latter was removed)

Plus, At least Team Skull wasn't around to bother them when it happens at least… Even if it WAS Odd they're haven't been seen since they last saw them at the Groudon Statue.

But right now, He wasn't able to sleep even if Piplup, Juliana, Arven and Nemona can… But maybe counting Wooloos could help?

"Can't sleep Chimchar?" Questioned a Voice as the Fire Monkey turned to see Penny looking at him.

"Well you can say that…" He answered back as the Human Turned Eevee remained quiet about it.

"….It's about Stuntank and his Buddies you're thinking about right?" Penny questioned back as Chimchar nodded back,

"..You can say that in a way…." Said Chimchar with a sign as he winced in fear at the memories of the Bullies whom took his Relic Fragement and gotten them blamed by Chatot for not bringing back any Prefect Apples the other day.

"But why does Stuntank and Team Skull bother you so much Penny? You're always the most aggressive around them, Especially when they gave Chatot and Wigglytuff the Prefect Apple they didn't eat in Apple Woods….

Penny remained slient as she knew she's going to bring up some painful memories, but she knew Chimchar has to know, As Stuntank was like her former bullies as well…

"Trust me Chimchar, I know what you feel… Because I have my own Stuntank to deal with as well…"

(XXXX)

Some time ago, World of Pokemon, Paldea Region, Narjanja Academy, School Bathrooms:

"No Brandy Stop it!" Yelled Penny as Brandy Held her by the Neck, Struggling to break free form the Grip of the Large Muscle bound blond haired Bully just laugh at her before he Slugged her in the Face as well

"Sorry Chairwoman Penny, But Weaklings like you need to learn to stay in Galar and Be like your Pathetic Excuse for an Uncle…" Brandy sneered, No doubt Penny's his ideal type of plaything, Foreign, Meek, Cowardly and best of all, Pathetic…

Just the way he likes to bully people since Mr, Harrigton was quite Senile for a Director meaning he and his gang can get away with whatever they want for those they deemed Pathetic…

Especially a Galarian whom's related to the Infamous Moron named Chairman Rose as well….

"SO STAY DOWN!"

Brandy then threw Penny onto the floor as he and his Cronies took her homework, Laughing as the wounded Penny was unable to chase them back to get schoolwork back for them.

All while Penny was about to cry, Thanks to the injuries Brandy did to her as well, As a Swollen Mark where Brandy's Fist meets her face remains on her as well as her Smashed Glasses as well.

(XXXX)

"And that's just the Beginning of the Story Chimchar… Those Bullies of mine are like Stuntank and his Gang…." Said Penny as she fought to not cry tears at this, As she explained even more form more of the Hell she and her Friends went through to the Operations she made (Both to stop the Problem with the second one (Operation Starfall) being the only one to get right)

Brandy and his Gang were not only ruthless in their Bullying (Especially since Brandy was not only a Very Aggressive Person but also form one of Paldea's Richest Families as well, Meaning he got connections in High Places) but their also good at covering up their tracks by stealing Penny and her Friend's Schoolwork and passing it off as their own to make them look better (and the latter worse), And the fact Director Harrigton and his Staff was very apathetic about this problem makes it worse.

Forcing Penny and her Friends to take measures into their own hands, By making Team Star in a Desperate Attempt to get the Bullies to stop,

Only for Brandy and his Cronies to flee before they can be brought to justice, and making it like Penny and Team Star are the aggressiors… Forcing Penny to return home to Galar to take the Fall for her Friends…

While Harrigton and his Staff retired afterwards, Penny's Friends Giacomo, Ortega, Mela, Atticus and Eri didn't return back to School out of both distrust for the Academy and wanting Penny to come back to them… Causing them to be framed as the Villains as well as almost getting Expelled…. Something Penny doesn't want to happen to them as well.

It didn't help that only a Lot of Team Star (Even her Friends) are wary of the Academy even after the New Staff was enrolled into the Academy to clarify what really happened between them and the Bullies (As well as waiting for her to comeback) but the fact that a lot of information was not only censored but also Brandy spreading Lies to make Team Star the Villains before he left the Academy.

She was just trying to stop the Bullies form tormenting her Friends, But the Plan failed before it even happened and nearly ruined she and her Friend's lives had not been for Juliana coming to her help (No way she's getting Nemona's help given how she'll ignore the real issue (Especially since she's never been bullied due to being enrolled Six Months after the Team Star Incident) and just see Team Star as nothing but opponents and Troublemakers to take down while She may know Arven before either Juliana or Nemona was enrolled, He wasn't in School often and spared form being bullied as well)

"…Penny, I Guess that explains a lot at least…" Said Chimchar as he looked back in shock about this, No doubt Penny's Tears are proof that this is a Serious Issue as well.

"I Know… It's a Lot Chimchar, But Stuntank was like a Pokemon Version of Brandy… And what he did to you… Is a Lot what I, Giacomo, Atticus, Eri, Mela and Ortega suffered under as well…" Penny answered back before Chimchar gave her a Hug.

"But thanks for the help at least….I Feel better at least." Chimchar said to Penny as he hugged her.

"Thanks Chimchar…." Penny said back to him as the Human turned Eevee let out a yawn….

"Well, We should get some sleep, I rather not get Loudred yelling at us again…" Penny said back to Chimchar as he nodded back in agreement.

"Sure…" He said as the two Pokemon soon fall asleep alongside their Teammates, Ready for what's to come tomorrow.

(XXXX)

Meanwhile, Outside the Guild Entrance:

"So Chief, Any reason why we're here right now?" Zubat questioned to his Team Leader as they and Koffing are currently at the entrance of the Wigglytuff Guild, The Cocky Stuntank that's their leader normally being Arrogant was simply being quiet as he glared at the Tent that houses the Entrance to the Guild.

Stuntank, For all of his arrogance was rarely confronted with opposing foes,

Usually Most Pokemon the Trio encounter and Bullied often left running in fear, But the Five Pokemon that's not Chimchar in Team Pokepals certainly have a spine…

But The Eevee called Penny was something different,

She was quite gutsy to stand up to him, But her eyes always flare with Anger whenever they meet, Especially when Chimchar was involved.

'Grrrr…. That Eevee… Her Face just make me want to see it bruised so badly she'll be scared as a Freak for life… Especially for how she defended that Torchic of a Chimchar!' Stuntank cursed to himself as he recalled Penny's Scrowls and Glares, During the Many Times they encountered each other, As Penny has nothing but hatred in her eyes towards him.

Sure the Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly and Piplup were also considered Pests in his eyes, But that Eevee, She's almost acting like he killed her Family as well… (Not that it matters to him if it was the case)

But regardless, He has a Wicked idea…. And one that will surely get payback on that Pesky Team Pokepals for sure….

"Well, Well, well… Koffing, Zubat… I take you heard some Rumors regarding some Water float?" He questioned back to them.

"Yup, Some two kiddos named Marill and Azumaril are searching for it…" Said Zubat in a Puzzled tone of why Stuntank asked it.

"So I take this is some sort of Revenge Plan Chief?" Said Koffing as he looked back to his Leader whom simply let out a laugh.

"Clawhahaha…. I just got the prefect plan boys…" Stuntank sneered as he smirked like a Chesire Persian, As a Rather Delivious plan stewed in his mind,

Cause no doubt he knows just the method to get back at Team Pokepals (Chimchar and Penny Especially) now…

And he'll enjoy their suffering very well when it happens….

(XXXX)

Author's Note:

Yeah, This Chapter is something to say the least…

It's mostly for Penny Development and my Personal Headcanon for what likely occurred for she and the rest of Team Star before they're forced to make the Starmobiles to (Before you ask, Yes, This would also be featured in Mermaid Legends of Paldea as well)

I admit, A Lot of us are pretty frustrated with how Post Gen 6 Pokemon Games have been handling Antagonists with SwSh being considered the Major Low point for Many as well (It's similar to how Classic Disney Fans then to get frustrated with the Post Tangled Disney Villains (Hans Especially given Frozen being a very decisive entry to the) (Even if Studio Ghibli and other Anime Production Companies proved that writing Non-Traditional Villains CAN WORK)

But it's ironic how Explorers has a Twist Villain (And by extension, Bullies for Antagonists like Stuntank/Koffing/Zubat) in the Form of Dusknoir given how hated Rose and Game!Lysandre are for the Fandom while the Former gets fairly scot fair form it (Heck, If you don't somehow seen Monsters Inc, The Incredibles or Toy Story 2, Dusknoir's might be our first exposure to a Twist Villain to say the least) and sure, The better Quality of Explorers (And Nostalgia Goggles) may be why people aren't being as harsh about as the Mainline Games (Sword and Shield especially Story-Wise since XY has the Anime/Manga to back it up) but it's ironic how the best quality Pokemon Game to the Fandom ironically has one of the Many things people hate about XY-SwSh's Stories at least… Especially given how Grudgeful the Pokemon Fandom can be at times.

(XXX)

Mini Rant aside, It's easy to see that Stuntank (And Team Skull as a Whole) would rub Penny of in the worst way possible given how Stuntank's basically a Bully throughout all of Explorers's Story, It'll no doubt give Penny some bad memories about what she suffered form the Bullies that tormented her and Team Star as well (Especially with what happened during the Apple Woods Incident would be similar to what happened with the Former Staff led by Director Harrigton in the Academy since both incidents, Penny and her Friends got blamed and the Higher ups (Harrigton and his school Staff/Chatot) ignored it while the Bullies basically got Scout free in the Process)

Heck, Rescue Team also has Gengar as well, Since despite being the Major Antagonist of that game's Story (Since the Meteor was the Main Source of the Problems instead of a Rouge Darkrai/Eldritch Abomination like the Bittercold/Dark Matter) like kickstarting the Fugitive Arc by using us the Players as the Scapegoat to threw the blame off him, Was mostly acting like a big Bully with Medicham and Ekans by his side (Since compared to Dusknoir, Munna and Nuzleaf, Gengar doesn't even have a Legendary boss to back to him up as well), and no doubt like Stuntank, Penny would hate Gengar the Most out of the Paldea Gang since his also similar to her Bullies as well.

(XXX)

As for Brandy (Penny's Main Bully in This Fic (And by extension both Paldean-Explorers and Mermaid Legends of Paldea) if you're wondering)

I felt like a Bakugo (Form MHA) like Character would work great as Penny's Main Bully since given how Violent Bakugo is in Canon As well as how questionable the School Staff seem to excuse his behavior as a Student/Hero in Training as a Great Example of a Hero (When his behavior shows the opposite of one)

So Brandy is basically Bakugo if he was a Rich Racist Prick whom picks on those he finds Inferior to him as well (And even kicking those he finds weak like Carmen due to how much she picks on Eri previously without hesitation) and having a Very Alpha/Sigma mindset of being an All Around Jerk whom gets away with it due to Harrigton's Staff being apathetic towards the Students (And Yeah, It's a bit of a Jab towards how Bakugo was treated like a Stellar student when he's actions would say the Opposite for how Violent he can be as well as his Behavior being more like a Villain's then a hero's)

(XXXX)

Likewise, I headcanon the Team Star Issues can be basically be a case of:

1: Distrust for the Academy Staff after how Apathetic the Old Staff was towards their Students (After how they're treated by the Apathetic Staff, I Think Team Star may not be so willing to come back to School

2: People being wary of Team Star and just looking at things at Face Value, Not diving deeper into the Rumors about them and just assume Team Star are bad with the lack of Information that Harrigton's (And anyone whom's likely

(XXXX)

Before you ask, Chimchar and Penny are merely just friends here, The Only Couple on the Team is Juliana and Arven (Penny has Atticus for the Paldean Explorers-Verse btw and Nemona's Alsexual like the World of Light Deluxe-Verse and Mermaid Legends of Paldea-Verse)

And Yup, You know what Stuntank did in the Games as well if you seen Explorers of Sky/Time/Darkness as well…. It involves the water float as well.

(XXX)

Also, This Chapter would be be featuring an Omake just for you guys…

So it's Omake time!

See you down below! ;)

(XXXX)

Team Paldea Omake 1: Café Conversations

Continuity: Takes place after Spinda Café is Open, But before Team Pokepals meet Stuntank)

(XXXX)

World of Mystery Dungeons, Grass Continent, Treasure Town, Spinda Café:

The Spinda Café,

A Recently opened Café near the Crossroads between Treasure Town and the Wigglytuff's Guild,

Founded by quite the Traveling Spinda (Whom rumored to have a dream to encounter the Legendary Ho-oh in the Air Continent, Whom a Rescue Team named Team Go-Getter helped him find the Rainbow Legend), This was considered the Prefect spot to rest or chill when you're in Treasure Town, Especially before and after an Exploration for explorers.

But right now, One team's currently having their fill right now:

'Well, I have to admit, The Food here is pretty good!" Said Nemona as she devoured a Grepa Berry, Kelpsy Berry, Blast Seed and Apple Salad with Oran Berry Bread on the Side as the Fuecoco devoured the meal like it was nothing.

"Seesh, You're really embracing your inner Michelangelo aren't you Nemona…." Arven snarked back to the Champion Ranked Trainer turned Fuecoco's Appetite… "I'm surprised you're still Pushing your Iron Stomach as well…"

Nemona's far form a Glutton, But given her Iron Stomach (Which actually helped out), Her Strange sense of taste (Comparable to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles whom are especially known (At least in their First Cartoon according to Penny) to have the strangest sense of taste for what they like on their Pizzas with the Afromentioned Michalengelo being the most prominent of this) and her being more used to being a Pokemon (Especially since her Desires for battle), Does seem to bring out a lot in Nemona, Already eating as much as a Normal Fuecoco while now even more rilled up for Battles then when she's a human (Especially since most Pokemon LOVE TO BATTLE, And now that she's one, Nemona's no exception.)

"Well, I suppose being a Fuecoco does make me more Hungry I guess…" Said Nemona with a shrug, As she turned to Juliana, Whom the Human turned Sprigatito knows how Fuecocos then to have Large appetites (Being the Trainer of one (Her own Starter to be exact) as well helps at least)

"You got a point there Nemona…" Said Juliana as the Sprigatito just smiled back to her Friend with a Hesitant Chuckle.

'Well, It's not Mochi at least…' Said Penny as she, Arven and Juliana cringed at the mere mentioning of the word (The Former two having bad experinces with the rice cake food and the latter admitting what occurred with it also made her aware for what it did with her Friend and Boyfriend), Arven turning away in shame as Juliana patted the Human turned Quaxly with her Sprigatito Paws, No doubt while she never ate the Mochi form said experience, Arven and Penny never want to ever eat it again and said experience with them under the Mochi's Effects was one Juliana never wish to experience again (And even if Nemona's Iron Stomach has spared her form such an experience despite eating said Mochi, Juliana, Arven and Penny have to make sure she doesn't push her luck if they run into something similar down the line)

"Well, That aside, Mr. Emboar and his Fellow Chefs made pretty Good Food here!" Said Chimchar as he and Piplup just try their hardest to not dwell on the Whole Deal with Nemona's Iron Stomach (Which they saw first hand when she got an Intense Sugar Buzz form eating Grimy Food there and an even more Amplified desire for battles as well) after what happened in the Waterfall Cave (Or whatever this Michelangelo guy Arven has mentioned) as he turned towards a door some distance away form them (With Bellosoms exiting form it with plates of Food and Drinks form both the Room they're exiting Form as well as Spinda's Juice Bar)

The Spinda Café's catering was often handled by an Emboar whom alongside his Assistants (A Fidough and Dolliv to be exact) while Drinks are personally prepared by Spinda himself.

Emboar was a Former Explorer whom decided to step down and help Spinda with his Café (Both form his Age and also to let the New Generation shine), With Fidough and Dolliv being Pokemon whom wanted to help out as well, With Spinda deciding to hire them shortly afterwards

"I have to admit, The Food's good at least…" Said Piplup as he munched on some Roasted Berries (That Juliana, Arven, Penny and Chimchar also ordered as well) with a Smile. "Mr. Emboar's also a Nice guy as well to say the least form what we seen of him at least.

"Well you should try Arven's Cooking one day guys! It's quite good!" Said Juliana with a smile.

"Aw thanks Juli!" Said Arven said back to his Little Buddy turned Girlfriend as she smiled back to him.

"Yeah, Arven's cooking's good at least… So there's that…" Said Penny as Nemona nodded in agreement.

However, Two Familiar faces soon approached them as Juliana and Piplup turned to them.

"Oh Hey Cylizar! Hey Bisharp!" Said Juliana as the Sprigatito turned to the Two Pokemon whom are approaching them.

"Oh howdy guys, What's up?" Said Cyclizar as he approached Team Pokepals with Bisharp by his side, The two senior apprentices approaching the Team of Six with Cyclizar waving to them as Bisharp just remain Stoic.

"Oh hey Cyclizar! How are you and Bisharp?" Juliana admitted to the Mount Pokemon and his Sharp Blade Friend (Since Bisharp was the Loner among the Guild with Cyclizar being the only person he was willing to be more open to)

"Well hey there Jules! Nothing much, Just here to grab a drink before me and Bisharp head off for our Jobs for the Day!" Said the Mount Pokemon with a Chuckle.

For the Two Apprentices whom joined before Them and Bidoof, Cyclizar was quite the Friendly Person,

Often quite cherry and having a Cowboy Accent, the Mount Pokemon was often the type of Pokemon to be a comfort buddy, Especially with how Stingy Chatot can be for Apprentices as well.

Bisharp on the other hand was often the Last Kind of Pokemon to be associated with the Wigglytuff Guild, Not only because of how he stands out form them but also how he was rumored to be an ex-outlaw as well.

He often prefers to keep to himself at times but Cyclizar was the Only One he would truly call a Friend as well, Especially when according to Sunflora, Bisharp was willing to loosen up around Cyclizar when the latter saved help him during a Mission.

"So, You Kiddos got some jobs too right?" Said Cyclizar as he noticed some Papers beside Arven as the Quaxly turned to him.

"Yup!" Said Nemona with a smile.

"But why are you interested in them?" Penny questioned with a puzzled look.

"Well, How about we team up to do those missions after our meal?" Cyclizar answered back with a smile. "Besides, Figure you guys could learn form me and Bisharp at least.."

"Sure that sounds great!" Said Nemona as Juliana nodded back in agreement, With Penny, Arven, Piplup and Chimchar also nodding back (Since for the Latter, A Chance to work with fellow Apperantices and For Piplup, Arven and Penny, A Chance to known them better)

"Great!" Said Cyclizar as he turned to Bisharp.

"Hey Bisharp, You're fine with this?" He questioned to his Friend whom remained slient for a while before letting out a nod and his answer.

"…I Suppose…"

"Great, We'll wait for out grub to come first… But I suppose you kiddos wanted some stories?"

"Sure why not?" Said Chimchar as he looked back in awe at this. "I'll love to hear more about you and the others before we came here."

"No Problem Kiddo!" Said Cyclizar as he and Bisharp sat down with the Five Human Turned Pokemon and One Actual Pokemon. "Well trust me, We got a lot to say at least…"

It wasn't much, But maybe with their Seniors, Team Pokepals could learn a lot form teaming up with them at least…

Especially for what's to come down the line….

(XXXX)

Author's Note:

Yeah, Like Brionne, Cyclizar and Bisharp are included as extra world building for my Fics (They're both in the Guild before Bidoof btw in the Paldean Explorers-Verse if you're wondering, So their he's (And the Paldea Gang, Chimchar and Piplup's) Seniors as well), Same with the Emboar Chef as well as the Dolliv and Fidough in the Spinda Café.

Now given Gen 9 being the Focus in this Fic (Since we're having the Paldea Gang of Juliana, Arven, Nemona and Penny also Isekaied to the Mystery Dungeon World and teaming up with Piplup and Chimchar), It makes sense to include some Gen 9 Pokemon besides the Paldea Starters as part of the Story (Hence, Cyclizar's inclusion as part of this Fic (as well as the Dolliv and Fidough here) since he's a Gen 9 Pokemon, And Bisharp also fits since he gotten a Cross Gen Evo in Gen 9 as well)

As for Emboar, Well He's the Chef of the Spinda Café since Spinda's the Bartender/Juice Bar, and both Wynaut and Wobbufett are the Lucky Draw Vendors (With Ludicolo and the Bellossoms (Who are also Waitresses in this Story) being the Dancers if someone won a Big Prize), So again, He's mostly a World-building character as well.

Now Bisharp is certainly out of place in the Wigglytuff Guild (Since the Guild Pokemon are all Pokemon that are friendly/Not endgame strong like the Pesudos) to say the least.

But this is intentional however, Given what I mentioned briefly about Bisharp's past, Let's just say I'm expanding on Wigglytuff's belief of no truly evil Pokemon (That's not named Mystery Dungeon!Darkrai/Peacharunt/Anime!Malamar) existing (Thanks to his time with Armaldo) thanks to his time with Armaldo,

So think of this Fic as an extension of Wigglytuff's Beliefs with Bisharp (Even if Chatot doesn't exactly trust the latter however)

Also, Cyclizar's basically a Cowboy is his quirk in the Guild (Like Bidoof's 'Yup-yup!' and Sunflora's 'Ohmygosh!') while Bisharp's mostly keeps to himself save for Cyclizar… So there's that…

(Also yes, Team Go-Getters are form the Rescue Team Anime, And since Super Confirmed all the Mystery Dungeon Games takes place in the Same Universe (And by extension confirming the Medicham and Gardevior in Team Charm are the Same ones form Rescue Team due to their Connections to Gengar in that game), I figured it'll be fine to include nods to the Rescue Team Anime, Since I'm using Anime!Team Pokepals for this Fic as well, So why not?)

Hope you enjoy this Chapter!

Next Chapter would be Juliana's Chapter and it involves a Certain Groyvle as well!

I'll try to make it good for you as well!

Take Care, Stay Safe, Watch your Health and See Ya! ;)
