[i]Ugh... now I wish I actually had money...[/i] I think as I get out of my bed, which, now that I could see it, looked horrible. Even though I was awake, I still felt sleepy, unfortunately. I yawn as I head out the door, and into the mess that was the ground floor of the hotel. [i]I guess you really do get what you pay for...[/i] I then think as I carefully avoid the mold on the floor and head back to the desk. The two behind the desk seemed as energetic as usual, however, they looked the other way when they saw me. I almost heard one mutter "Well, you get what you pay for... don't sue us..." I would have said something, but, I was a little too tired to put my thoughts into words at this time. I also had somewhere to be, and I also had a criminal to catch here in town... no, not these guys, who should consider actually cleaning the lower floors, and doing whatever they need to in order to let that happen... there was someone else out there, someone who was the source of my frustration. I open the door to see the bright, blue sky, and nearly feel blinded for a second. My eyes adjust to the sun, and I start my search. Apparently, word was getting around about some hero by the name of 'Shadowlight'... how odd, but, it didn't stop me. I started my search at the dojo, which was really more of a way for me to spend the rest of my money... you know, just to make sure I didn't end up back in that hotel, again... well, that and hopefully, this would give me a way to calm myself down, as I was still frustrated from yesterday's little goose chase. The building itself looked a little strange, as it seemed to have a cube shape as if it were a standard building, and not one of the 'important' buildings. The structure itself was made of reeds, some of which were painted blue or red. It was a sharp contrast to the other buildings, which almost looked as if they came from the future. I went inside, and was greeted by a very battle-torn garchomp. He seemed to have scars and cuts all over his body, and yet, despite having giant gashes on both of his eyes, he could still see, apparently. "Ah, another has come into my dojo. Welcome, strange snivy." the garchomp says to me. He then asks "What would you like me to do?" I hand him the 150 poke that I still had, and he says "Hm... well, you can train against my students with this much, I suppose..." after that, he hands me back 50 poke, and shouts "STUDENTS! Another trainee!" A blue-colored noibat, a dratini, and an axew emerge from some random door, and each of these pokemon seemed to have a small blue badge on them... strange. The noibat flies up to me, and says "I'll be your first opponent... um... be ready!" I then prepare to attack the small, batlike pokemon.

I almost felt as though I had melted into the bed from how comfortable it is, however, the sun's rays found their way over to me, waking me up. I stretch and yawn before jumping off of my bed. Once I do, I notice some sort of silver plate with a pastry on it. There was a note next to the plate, and once I got there, I pick up the note, and read it... all it said was 'Complimentary'. Oh, sure, there was some miltank milk next to the pastry, as well as an oran berry, but the main event was the pasrty, which was pretty much gone as soon as I picked it up. It was a pecha berry pastry, and it tasted great. It was very sweet, even without the frosting on the top, and the crust was very flaky, and added a nice 'bread' flavor to the mix. I then finished off the milk, and took the oran berry with me, just in case I end up in trouble on this 'Mt. Dragoncoil'. I figured that everyone else might still be asleep, and there were a couple rooms in my, er, room, that I haven't even seen yet, so I headed over there, slithering across the golden tiles, which were somehow warm to the touch, and end up in a room with two different baths. One of them had a wooden frame, and the other was just as gold as everything else, and had an odd, irregular shape. I decide to try out the wooden one while I was waiting for the others, turning some sort of knob as far as it would go. Water quickly poured into the thing, and steam began to fill the room. I jumped in, and felt even more relaxed from the warmth of the water. The bubbles helped as well, and, after not too long, it almost seemed as though I was just a helmet floating around in the water. [i]I wonder when everyone else will wake up.[/i] I think as I continue to stay in this hot water. I'm sure that if I were a different pokemon, for example, a krabby, I wouldn't find this too relaxing, but, since I wasn't anything like that, it was very relaxing to me.

The bed was very comfortable, and I actually had a good dream for once. It actually didn't start off too great, with my father finding where I was, however, soon enough, that grey snivy from a couple days ago came out of nowhere, and defeated him, leaf blade held high. The dream continued with him asking me to be his girlfriend, him defeating that evil conkeldurr, and the dream kept going long into our old age... that is, until I woke up. For the first time in my life, I woke up energized and ready to go. I jumped right out of my bed, and almost said 'Good morning, everyone!'... but, it seemed as though both of my teammates were still asleep, and I didn't want to disturb them. Instead, I, for the first time in my life, hopped (rather than walked) over to the main hall, where that chatot was just waking up... for some odd reason, he was heading down the ladder. I thought he would sleep in the guildmaster's room, but apparently not. "Hey, good morning, whatever your name is!" I shout to the chatot, who squawks in surprise, and turns around. "B-bonnie!? Uh, good morning. Why are you up so early? Oh, and I'll have you know that my name is Charlie," he responded, to which I responded "Uh... I dunno, I just feel ready to wake up. Are there any good missions on that board?" Charlie then mumbles to himself, and heads into the guildmaster's room. I simply head up the ladder, and start looking around on the board. It seemed as though something was going to happen, but, I was just too ready to go to stay here for any longer than I have to. A few of the missions looked decent, but none of them really stood out to me, yet... maybe I just have to look harder, or something.
