Mildred had plenty of time to clean off her desk and wring out her tail while the duo worked through their forms, though apparently she missed a spot on the floor. The Smeargle gave a light nod of thanks to the Noibat for rescuing a blank 'please don't sue us' form before addressing his question.

[color=a187be]"The guild provides basic supplies to each registered team,"[/color] Mildred intoned in her best professional voice. [color=a187be]"This includes a basic bag, one apple per member, and the team badge. If you wish to use a nicer bag, or one that can hold more than sixteen items, you will have to provide that yourself."[/color]

Done with her spiel, Mildred stared awkwardly at Trevor for a bit. She peered over her desk at the Togepi, who was still, unfortunately, finishing up the paperwork. Mildred's eyes wandered back to Trevor while she absentmindedly fiddled with the tip of her tail, trying to brainstorm ways to break the awkward silence. Then, she abruptly hustled to a cabinet and pulled out a small, oval-shaped object. The black device seemed to have a square screen and two round buttons.

[color=a187be]"This is what your team badge will look like,"[/color] Mildred explained, bringing it closer so Trevor could see it clearly. She pointed to each part of the badge as she described it, and she feebly attempted to maintain proper eye contact with her listener. [color=a187be]"The screen will display your team name and the names and species of each member. If any member is knocked out in battle, the buttons will start flashing. These are very important, so please listen carefully.

If you think you are in a relatively safe situation, you can press the yellow button. It will send a distress call straight to the guild, and we will send out a team to rescue you as soon as possible. If you think you are in serious danger, press the red button. It will immediately teleport your team to a safe place. This will also happen if you don't press any buttons for one minute after they start flashing or if no rescue teams are able to reach you for two hours. The downside to this method is the teleportation technology hasn't been perfected yet. It's perfectly safe for Pokemon, but some or all of your cash and items may be lost in translation."[/color]

[color=a187be]"The badge can only register team members within a certain distance,"[/color] Mildred added, beginning to feel antsy from all this talking. [color=a187be]"This is why it is [b]extremely[/b] important for all team members to remain on the same floor of a dungeon. If anyone gets left behind, there may be no reliable way to locate them."[/color]
