"Wow! This place is so much different from Bedrock Village" the Honedge named Monado marveled as he floated through the streets of Sunny Town with a small bag of food on the back of his sheathe. "This entire place just seems to have this...this...aura of...energy. I just...feel so alive here. I'm having trouble putting it into words!" His old home and been a rather bleak looking place, even the air itself seemed stale sometimes. Sunny Town on the other hand felt so much more fresh and full of life. "I wasn't too sure what to make of the name of this place at first, but now I'm sure; Sunny Town fits this place to a 'T'"

"It does my heart good to hear an outsider say that. However, are you aware that you're talking out loud?" A strange voice asked him from behind

"Huh?" Turning around, Monado found a large Camerupt "Oh hello there! My name is Monado, what's your?"

"Quite a friendly little fellow, aren't you?" The Camerupt chuckled "my name is Quaga. However most people just seem to call me the mayor's son"

"The mayor's son...that means you can help me!" Monado cried out in excitement "see, I just got here looking for adventure and other such stuff. Since you no doubt know this place really well, maybe you could point me in the right direction"

This time Quaga let out a more cheerful laugh "is that so? Ah, your's is a rare kind. While I'd love to help you, I have to ask; do your parents know about this?"

Monado shook his body "I doubt it, My egg was left at an orphanage, and I doubt the people in charge will mind too much that I'm missing. Heck, the only people who will probably care are the ones who used to bully me" he answered in a tone of voice that was far to cheerful for s sentence like that

Quaga looked completely horrified "that...that's awful!"

Monado nodded (read tilted his body) "yeah, it was. But hey, that's all in the past now. Everything's only going to get better from here"

A weak smile appeared of Quaga's face "you are so strong for one so young. If only others could be as optimistic as you." Quaga sighed "as for your request; my first idea would be for you to try the Police Department...or at least it would be if the hard headed Sargent would hire anyone else then a Growlithe" he mumbled the last part "however I think you're in luck. I myself just returned home after some business took me out of town, but I'm already hearing about a young Braixen who's sent up an Adventure's Guild"

At this point, Monado was shaking in excitement "eeeeeeeeeeeeeee" he squealed pure joy

Quaga chuckled at the sight of the little sword "I believe she's set up shop at the old library. I can give you direction is you want"

---

A bit latter, Monado found himself in front of the old library, just where Quaga said it would be "this is so exciting! I'm one step closer to my dream." Using his sash to knock on the door, he called out "hello! Is anyone in there!? I want to become a heroic adventure and go on lots of quest to save people and beat up bad guys!" In his excitement riddled mind, he completely missed the Zorua also in front of the door
