[color=B6B6B4]The warm midday sun bore down onto Cloudgate, making its earthy cobblestone roads radiate with a summery glow. Like usual, the large town bustled with energy. Pokemon padded up and down the streets, carrying bags or chatting and laughing among each other. Yew was one of such Pokemon that roamed around the streets and enjoying the warmth that flooded her fur. But, unlike other days when she moved around without purpose or energy, she had a plan for that one fateful afternoon. Today wasn't a day for relaxing or lazing about in a nice patch of sun or trying to sneak berries from vendors. No, today was a day in which she was going to change her life. 

A sharp, salty scent reached her nose as she walked to the west of Cloudgate and towards the edge of the cliff that overlooked the ocean. That was where Scorch's guild was, as far as she could remember. There was a certain trot to her step as she held her head high and turned her muzzle to the sky. The salty sea breeze, the warm weather, the cloudless sky... it almost made her forget that the Shade was still out there, and that she had been stuck in Cloudgate for as far as she could remember. Today, though, was her first step towards making a difference. 

After passing by a variety of stores and homes, she came across a larger, more ornate building compared to the rest that she had just seen. It looked similar to a sandy-stoned castle, with flags hanging from windows and a wide door at the front. Yew found herself staring at it in awe. Even her own shabby house, no matter how much she loved it, was not as amazing as this one. She carefully approached it, her paws stepping onto the warm stones as if they would crack and collapse underneath of her pawsteps. Damn it. She was never frightened about anything, so why was she so scared now?

There was a slight movement from somewhere in the doorframe. A Pokemon with white and pink fur and bright blue eyes stared at her eagerly. [b]"Hullo!"[/b] the Sylveon chimed. [b]"Are you here for orientation? Some Pokemon've arrived already, so come on in!"[/b]

[color=7E3517][b]"Okay!"[/b][/color] Yew grinned as she followed the Sylveon into the large building. It was much cooler in there than out there, and she appreciated the draft in the lobby as she felt her warmed-up fur become much more comfortable. It was so difficult having dark-colored fur, sometimes...

The Sylveon sat in the middle of the room, her pink tail wagging to and fro. It seemed like the Pokemon had a smile permanently plastered upon her muzzle, and her azure eyes were even brighter than before. Yew attempted to return her grin as fiercely as she could before she turned her eyes towards the rest of the room. It was just as decorated as the outside was. There were windows that showed the beach and the ocean beyond, along with a desk at the head of the room. There were also posters put up near the bulletin board, which was laden with handwritten notes and ads. She wanted to go over there and start reading them, but she wasn't sure if she should, so she shuffled in place as she tried her best not to have her fur puff up in excitement.
