After the meeting had ended, Yoku sighed in relief. [color=fff200][i]Thankfully I arrived in time, wouldn't have wanted to make a bad first impression. After all, I [b]am[/b] an Ace.[/i][/color] He looks around and observes the different characters in the vicinity. His eyes land on the guildmaster, Alakazam. [color=fff200][i]How the heck did this geezer become guildmaster? He looks like he could fall over any second. And what's with those spoons? Well, I guess it helps in eating. But wouldn't one being a fork be more useful? How does he cut food with that? And... oh... aaand he's floating away. Maybe he uses psychic powers to cut his meal. He has a pretty cool mustache too, I bet I could grow a better one when I evolve.[/i] [/color] Moving on from the guildmaster his eyes land on Lady Rosalinda, who is currently talking with the other guild members. A hint of nostalgia could be seen in Yoku's eyes as he suddenly remembered his former Master Emboar. [color=fff200][i]Lady Rosalinda, the number one Ace of Alakazam's Explorer Guild. I'll get to the top someday just you wait.[/i] [/color] Whether it was addressed to his former master or Lady Rosalinda, one couldn't tell. He reaffirmed his vow and started walking towards the bulletin board. Along the way he sees different pokemon grouping up with each other to take requests. They all laugh and talk as they snatch missions one after the other. He tried to make conversation and attempted to join different groups but was always turned down. The reasons ranging from "Sorry we're full" to simply "You're too weak for this". Yoku took deep breaths to calm himself down, suppressing the urge to shout and start a fight. [color=fff200][i]This isn't the dojo. I can't just provoke people here, I have no one to back me up and I'm sure these guys aren't afraid to gang up on me if push comes to shove.[/i][/color] After a few seconds of deep breathing, he resumed his walk towards the bulletin board. He glanced to side and saw Clay talking to the one called Apricoatl. Looking at the golett's stiff demeanor he couldn't help but wonder how he would do well on the field. He has power yes, as was seen in his earlier exploit, but how could he survive in an environment that requires constant adapting. His eyes moved towards his companion. Upon seeing Apricoatl's fluffy tail he had to resist the urge to ask if he could cuddle it. [color=fff200] [i]Maybe these guys wouldn't mind if I join them.[/i][/color] He was about to change directions and head towards, but after witnessing their rapport he decided against it. He moved to the other side of the bulletin board away from the pair and took a look at missions that were still available.
