-Samuel- I hear a voice and whip around, and see a buneary. I look down from where I was slightly, and I say "You don't know this place? This is the Treasure Town Guild, run by a wigglytuff. Kinda a looney, though, so watch out, he might hug you and kill you with kindness, heheh." I fall silent for a little bit, and then say "Would you like to join a team? I'd have to ask my partner first, but you can join Team Green," as I look around. "Uh... just go in there and ask if you could join team green, alright? Alright," I say awkwardly as I back away, then go into the crew rooms to see my partner crashed on his bed. I snicker at this sight, and sit on my bed, looking at the kecleon, or at least his stripe. He had an odd habit of turning invisible while he slept. I pop my knuckles, and walk back out of the crew room, climbing up the ladder to go to the mission board. As I get to the mission board, I feel something on my face. I get a little dizzy for a second, and rub my head as blood drips on the ground. "Not again..." I mutter, wiping off the blood from my face with my arm. I cover my eyes and pick from the mission board, and get a E-rank mission. "I need an oran berry! Please help in Beach Cave, I'm a Riolu, I think I'm on the second floor, and I feel like I'm about to faint and I can't rest, they just keep coming, reward 1000 Poke!" it says. I see the amount of Poke I'd be getting and my eyes widen, and I climb up the latter and sprint out of the guild, to Beach Cave. Before I arrive, I buy an Oran Berry from the Kecleon shop, and once I get there I am forced to slam my fist down a few times on a Shellos. He took a few hits, and he kept trying to tackle me. It sort of worked, since I felt a little weaker, but I felt alright nonetheless. I wander around, thankfully not running into anything else, and get to the entrance to the 2nd floor. I hear a lot of commotion down a small, narrow path and once I get down it, I'm in a chamber filled with different pokemon! I bolt out as fast as I could, pulling some of them out of the room and once I'm in the clear, I think about how the chamber was laid out. There were two ways in, and a Riolu was getting beaten down. I work my way around this place and eventually get back to that same chamber, with about 3 pokemon left. I use Absorb and regain practically no health, since all that walking around refreshed me, and it makes a Skrelp that was attacking the Riolu faint, and I toss the oran berry to the Riolu, who looked like he could be knocked unconscious any second, and he munches down on it as fast as he possibly could. He uses Force Palm on the remaining pokemon, and I say "Nice work," and he points to my badge. "What? This? This just shows that I-" I say, before he interrupts me. "Click that button on it," He says, obviously tired. I look around and press a button, and it teleports him away, and I freak out. [i]Where did he go? What place did this button-pushing make him go to? Should I find out myself?[/i] I think, turning it around and pressing the button again. I feel a warm, tingly sensation, and open my eyes to find myself back at the guild. The Riolu sighs and hands me the money, and Chatot comes flying up. He hops over and, after the Riolu leaves, snatches the money out of my hands and counts it up, and spills a measly 100 back into my hands. "WHAT?!" I exclaim when he does this. I look at him through eyes burning with shock and anger. "Sorry, that's just how the guild works. Part of your reward has to go to us, as a... uhm... a training fee, and so that we can pay off anything in case something happens," He says, and I leer at him. Luckily we were as tall as each other and I didn't have to move my head at all to glare at him and he scoffs and hops off. I grumble something, climbing back down the ladder and into my room. I kick Will, rolling him over and he wakes up. -------- -William- I say gibberish and sputter as I wake up, standing up to see my partner angry and crying. He sniffles loudly and wipes his eyes. "I didn't think that they would... that they would fucking rob us! Why?!" He cries, and I look at him, confused. "What's going on?" I ask, concerned. His tears seemed different than just 100% blood this time, this time they seemed to be like normal tears with a reddish tint. He coughs and covers his eyes and continues throwing his fit, not wanting to tell me what happened. I sigh and exit the room as he hits the wall, and kicks it too, then I ask someone what was going on with him and they chuckle. "I heard him upstairs with Chatot. Didn't know about the reward policy, and took it badly, phew," the Diglett says. "What's the reward policy?" I ask. "You only get to keep a small amount of your reward, like if you earned 2000, you only get to keep 200, because of the policy," the Diglett answers. I was shocked by this news and walk back in the room, and see that the kid messed up his bed, too. "Listen, Sam, just calm down!" I say and he shakes his head and I sigh. Stubborn little punk. I go back to my bed and curl up, drifting off to sleep.
