[h3][color=0072bc]Rico and Lulu the Riolu Twins[/color][/h3][b][Valiant Village][/b]

The two casually walked through town, chatting with a few locals, but keeping their minds on what may lie ahead of them. Their father clearly wanted them for something, but they just couldn't figure out what. They would soon lay their eyes on the Sawk and Throh Dojo, located towards the south part of town. They would soon enter, finding the place dim. Then... swift movement could be heard, and one by one each candle was lit with a flame. Now in the center of the room, cross legged, was Spirit. His children swiftly took the same position before him.

[color=004b80]"You two are wondering why I wanted you to come here..."[/color] He opened his eyes and looked at his children. [color=004b80]"It is because I believe you have exceeded my expectations these past few days, and have sped up my decision on this matter..."[/color] He brought from behind his back a small wooden box. [color=004b80]"The day has finally come, a day that makes me so proud of you..."[/color] His children finally realized what was happening, and were wide eyed with joy and excitement as he sat the box before them. [color=004b80]"Rico, Lulu, you two are now full members of my Guild. The training wheels are off, so to speak."[/color] The twins opened the box, and there they were.

Two carefully handcrafted Guild Badges, a blue sphere in the background with four swords converging from four different angles at the center. [color=0072bc]"We... we finally did it..."[/color] Said Rico, nearly speechless. Lulu was so happy she could barely contain it. [color=7ea7d8]"OH DAD! Thank you thank you thank you soooooooo much!"[/color] She said, hugging her father, who returned it happily. [color=004b80]"You two are happy, and you've made me one of the happiest Pokemon on the planet today."[/color] He replied.

After a bit, the excitement finally died down a bit, and Spirit continued. [color=004b80]"Zaru and Milton have earned this same right, and they have attained full Guild Membership as well. I wish to tell them myself, so if you see them later, don't reveal this yet."[/color] His kids nodded, then went back to happily chatting between each other.

[h3][color=black]Omen the Absol[/color] and [color=f49ac2]Serenity the Sylveon[/color][/h3][b][Valiant Village - Town Center][/b]

Word spread quickly about the duo being back in town, and pretty soon many of their old friends and townsfolk were catching up with them in the village center. [color=f49ac2]"It really is great to be back here after so long... so much has changed, too!"[/color] Serenity was very happy, she hadn't been this happy since... since she met Omen for the first time. She smiled. Just before this she'd seen Melody over at her clinic. She didn't know what happened to her daughter the night before, and that was for the better.

Omen caught up with a few of his old Guildmates, Razor in specific. [color=a36209]"You know... I still remember when she first came in to be trained by Spirit, all those years ago as an Eevee... boy has she grown up."[/color] Omen nodded. [color=black]"Mhm, she's changed a lot since then, she used to be the most intolerable wild kid you've ever seen..."[/color] He said loudly enough to be heard by her. [color=f49ac2]"Hey... I wasn't that bad..."[/color] She said in reply. [color=black]"...But she's grown into a mature, indispensable partner for a lifetime."[/color] He finished, flashing her a smile.

They had set out early that morning, and it was finally time for a break. They sat down near the edge of a crystal clear lake in a forest clearing. The water was pure, fresh, and safe to drink. The duo rested their wings for a bit. [color=ed1c24]"You know, big brother? Maybe we could have found a place a little bit closer to live..."[/color] Said the younger, female sibling. [color=00aeef]"Yeah, but I doubt we'd find one with that good of a view, eh?"[/color] He asked.

He got no response. He looked over. His sister seemed to have fallen fast asleep. He rolled his eyes, giving a quick chuckle. [color=00aeef]"Oh, little sister... I told you to get plenty of rest last night... Oh well, come on..."[/color] He said as he picked her up, setting her on his back. [color=00aeef]"Guess I've gotta carry you all the way there now... you'll pay for this, one day..."[/color] He said as he took off into the sky again.
