Edelwise grinned at the shy Pokemon. "Thanks Manty! I like your
name too!" She exclaimed. The Mantyke then mentioned going to the
farm. That was where she had been planning on going! And Manty
seemed to be inviting her along as well! Maybe she had found a new
friend! "I bet I can beat you there!" She called out, running as
fast as she could to catch up and hopefully pass the water Pokemon.
The Elektrike laughed aloud at the Mantyke's comment. Surely he was
joking, right? "No, of course not. At least, unless you want to."
She grinned again, glancing at the water Pokemon as she
effortlessly kept up. "I meant as in a race silly!"
Edelwise laughed at Manty's obvious shyness and at how he jumped
into the Venusaur's bag. Her smile was bright at the mention of a
Flower Shop. How had she not noticed that on the map? She loved
flowers! They were so pretty! She glanced at the bag that she had
seen Manty jump into. "So, where do you want to go first?" To be
honest, she had no clue where to go so she hoped Manty would agree
to come along.
"Well, you all might be confused. I'm Billy the Venusaur,
and I plant all the berries that I and the exploration guild finds,
and then, we harvest and divides them!" Venusaur says
"I'm Fern the Roserade, and I plant and harvest all the flowers and
sell them at my shop." Roserade says
"Oooh! Tasty berries! Do we just harvest them by ourselfs
or..." Manty asks
"Nope! You see, Terra Forest is a amazing place, berry trees grow
in random places! Therefore, try collecting berry seeds to plant on
your garden, or you can just buy from me.
...say, you don't have money, right?" Venusaur asks
"Hmm...nope..." Manty says
"Why, then you should collect Pokedollars that you can find while
explorating! The Exploration Guild's money is what keeps up the
economy of this small town." Venusaur says
"But, to become a explorer, you must be on a Team of 2 or more
members!" Roserade says
"Hm...team?" Manty asks, and looks at Edelwise "...Maybe we could
become a team?"
Edelwise listened intently to the Venusaur as he explained how they
could get berries. So they could either find a bunch of seeds to
plant or they could use money to buy some.
Well, neither of them had money that she knew of. The only way to
get money was to become a team though. A team? That could be fun.
She glanced at Manty, a wide grin settling on her face. "That would
be awesome!"
"Well, then, go make a team on the exploration guild, and
come back any time!" Roserade says
"Al-alright!" Manty exclaims with a grin on his face. He then
leaped to a large tree with a stair leading to the mouth of a
Clefable; the exploration guild. He leaped all the way up, and
reached it. However, he heard a voice right from under him
"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!" it said "Whose footprint?
Whoose footprint?" another asked
"The footprint is...
is...
I..
uh...
um..."
"Whats wrong?"
"...It...either it is a legless, white ball, or it has a humongus
foot!" the voice said
Edelwise saw Manty's grin and it honestly surprised her a little.
He didn't seem like the type of Pokemon to smile so widely. She
wasn't complaining though.
After her moment of hesitation, Edelwise followed Manty towards
what she assumed was the Exploration guild. She bounded after the
Mantyke, excited to get started.
As she followed Manty, they came to a pole. Manty climbed down it
while Edelwise watched quietly. That looked scary... Awesome! After
she was sure Manty had reached the ground, Edelwise jumped at the
pole, her paws scrabbling to keep hold of it as she clumsily
climbed/slid down.
At the Clefable's question, Edelwise nodded. "Yup! That's why we
are here!"
"Very well. Pikipek?" Clefable asks "Get the board."
Pikipek listens, goes to a room, gets a small bulletin board, and
gives it to Edelwise "You have to write the team's members and
name." Pikipek says
Name? Did they have to name their team? What should they name it?
There were so many possibilities! Maybe something based on their
types? Manty was a water type, and she was an electric type. Well,
that didn't help her much. Blue Lightning maybe? He was blue, and
lightning once again described her type. "Blue Lightning?" She
asked, searching for either denial or approval from the Mantyke.
"Well, welcome to the guild, Team Blue Lighting! Please take a job
on the boards on the second floor." Clefable says, giving them
their badges, and the explorer bag.
"...When you select a job to do, you magically know where to go. RP
Logic." Pikipek says, going to a room with Clefable
"Second floor...one floor up!" Manty says, climbing to the second
floor.
Edelwise began hopping happily again as she was handed her badge
and explorer bag. This was going to be so awesome! And she had made
a friend in the process!
She climbed to the second floor as quickly as she could and stared
at the board that the Clefable had mentioned. "Well, what first?"
"Well, the bulletin board is where you go exploring.
Yay!
However, the outlaw notice board is where you fight otlaw Pokemons.
Gosh, maybe we should do bulletin first..." Manty says, reading a
sing, and going to the bulleting board.
Ooh, exploring sounded fun. And fighting bad guys did too. Manty
didn't seem too st on either though, so hesitantly Edelwise moved
on to the Bulletin board.
The first job that Manty pointed out was one about a lost Pokemon.
It was an easier job, and while this made the Electrike sad, she
nodded. Their first job should be an easy one, just so they get the
hang of it.
"Alright, but you have to promise me we'll be able to fight the bad
guys too one day." She stated, looking up at the boards once more.
