Stella scuttled her way through town with determination in her eyes. She weaved and bobbed through the crowd with her strange sideways-walk and narrowly avoided the feet of passers by several times. She was on a mission she would not and could not be deterred from. She was going to get a mission, beat up some chumps, and be back home for dinner. Or at least that was supposed to be the plan. Often Stella got lost and confused and found herself spending a lot of time in dungeons...

But today was going to be different!

Stella stopped in front of the bulletin board and ripped the first assignment she saw. Using her claws she held the assignment as close to her face as she could, squinted, and tried her best to sound out the words like she was taught. Stella had only started reading thanks to a friendly family of Squirtles that lives nearby her underwater grotto. You can't exactly write books when your paper gets soggy and your ink washes away. After another few moments of struggling with the words she managed to decipher it. A lost Nosepass in the secret cavern. Aren't Nosepass supposed to be a compass? How do they get lost?! Well, despite that mystery, it shouldn't be too hard for her to fight her way through a cave with her water attacks. Still.. maybe she should try to find another adventurer to tag along. Stella felt confident her righteous fury would carry her through the dungeon, but she's a bit lacking in the navigational and reasoning department. 

So Stella scuttled off to the town center in search of someone else to accompany her. She had been meaning to meet local adventurers ever since she got here anyways.
