Looking at her two new excited friends and teammates, "I'm really excited to go with you guys. Let's go explore lots of new places and see the world together." Fira said and with that, she held out her hand to the two outatretched paws.

Liz, Kaja, Fira & Sarah
The Altaria's eyes widened as Sarah approached. Though her look of surprised quickly turned to a kind smile at her question. "Welcome, little one~! You're within Springleaf Town at the Serperior Guild." She answered with a chirp. Seems she was excited to see another of her kind here. "As for why you're here I can't say. Are you lost?"

Then, upon hearing that they did decide to form a team, she turned back to the trio for a moment. "Oh! One last thing. Does your team have a name~?"

Lucifer & Blossom
The left Pawniard scratched his head as Blossom quickly took the rude Shinx's paw and ran off. Guess she did know him after all. He looks to his brother: "Uh.. should we register the guy?" The right one shrugs, writes something down on a notepad, and walks inside the guild.

As Blossom and Lucifer venture away from the guild, they find themselves in the inner part of Springleaf. Different Pokemon can be seen just living in their homes, going about their lives. One can also see a rather upset Audino working at the nearby Infirmary.

There was also an odd-jobs board. Not nearly exciting as the guild's, but they were easy jobs within the town that could make a quick buck if one wanted.

Of course, if nothing interested them there, they could also venture onward to the outer town to find something else. Thats where all the shops were, after all.

Marisa
"A-AAH! Get away!" The Meowth yells as the Absol gves chase. Being more used to his form than Marisa, he remains just barely out of reach. As the two kept running through the streets, the kitten made odd twists and turns whenever possible.

As the two continue to weave through the crowd, Marisa finds two options were at her disposal:

She can keep on running and wait for the Meowth to tire out- he was just a kitten after all. Or she could cut through a nearby alleyway and try to cut him off from his path to catch him.

Felice
Thankfully, while as long as the trip to the dam, the trip back to the stairs was also uneventful, giving Felice time to rest. Like on the path, trees surrounded one side of her while the river flowed on the other.

Eventually she catches sight of the stairs in the distance- and the Fomantis from earlier already going down it. Seems like they risked the shortcut.

Koti
It's weird to go downstairs just to find yourself in another part of a forest. But thats probably why they're called mystery dungeons.

As Koti hops down the last step, she find herself in front of a steep incline with stairs going up it. It goes nowhere at the top and has a bench. It was probably just there to look at the view and relax.

Around this resting area winds a path- where Koti sees one of their goals a little bit early. A jar of honey! Though a Combee was also buzzing around, gathering nectar from some nearby flowers. It was probably theirs.

Which begged the question: What did Koti want to do? Attack? Sneak and take it? Something else?

Or she could always keep heading down the path to find the next floor.

Hikari & Tazuli
At first everything seemed ordinary as they took the path around. Some children were laughing and playing games, while others sat under a Pecha Berry Tree to rest. As they continue forward, however, they see a small crowd in the distance.

"T-they took my berries!" A Zigzagoon whined.

"Only your berries?! They took my Poke!" A Growthithe pupped added.

"P-poke?! Why'd the-" A Cleffa asked, but was cut off.

"One of em thought they were chocolate coins and ate em. All my allowance is gone..." The pup answered with a whimper.

Seems this crowd had information they could use. There was also a suspicious trail of dropped oran berries leading further into the trees, though they'd have to climb down yet another hill to follow it.

Aria
After picking up the Sitrus Berry, the Bulbasaur continues straight ahead.

Only to find a dead end with the stairs down right in sight. This was.. an oddly easy floor wasn't it?

Yet as she gets closer to the room with the stairs, a gust of cold air blows through. For whatever reason the next floor was pretty cold. Was she ready to continue down?

ITEM OBTAINED: One Sitrus Berry

Ari felt the cold air as she continued it held her back a bit, but continued on anyway, tempted to help the pokemon who want to keep on returning to this cave without worrying about being hurt or injured. She had a sitrus berry on her anyway if she gets injured.

Koti looked at the Combee, her head tilted. It's wings looked sharp, and rather windy... Well, she wasn't about to fail her first mission. She snuck up to the honey, and somehow grabbed it. What to do with it now, she had no idea. She started to sneak away, hoping nothing went wrong.

---

Lucifer nervously looks at Blossom "why did you take me where are we going can you at least answer some questions!? shakes blossom her head "later" she glimpses at the board "hmm..nah" they were way too easy for her liking and she wasn't money-driven right now then she looks at the outside entrance of town "no too dangerous right now.." Lucifer and her didn't even have time to learn any moves then she look at the upset Audino "perfect!" she happly walk up to the Audino with lucifer still hold by the paw "um sorry to bother you but do you need help with anything you look rather upset?"

---

She looks at the path and went though there trying to find her way to get him

---

Lucifer & Blossom
As the pair walk up, the Audino pauses. "Oh my! I'm so sorry, but we're closed unti-"

She stops and sighs in relief once Blossom speaks. They weren't in need of medical care then.

"Actually, yes! I do need a bit of help!" The pink creature walks over to a... rather odd looking device. Bits of scrapmetal clumped together to make what seemed like a make-shift generator. She kicks it in frustration. "This thing here went out on me! I haven't been able to tend to many patients- its dark in the clinic."

That and she had little supplies- but she didn't mention that last bit. The guild was working on that right now, last she heard.

"It took me all day to drag this thing out here to see if I could possibly fix it myself, but I'm no electric type. It needs some juice shocked into it." She adds as she studies the pair in front of her. They may literally be the perfect Pokemon for the job!

"Would you mind shocking this thing for me? That's all it'll take!" She asked. "Then I need help to drag the thing back in, if you two don't mind. I'll happy pay you both 100 Poke each for the job!"

A menial job to be sure. Boring even. But one may be able to practice their abilties if they gave it a shot- and earn Poke while at it. That is if they wanted to.

Marisa
In order to cut him off, Marisa has to take a sharp left and run right into the alley. As she sprints into the inky black corridor a cold, chilling energy fills her and gives her renewed vitality. She feels her legs carry her even further with each bound- until she leaps out and right in front of the Meowth!

Marisa had just learned Pursuit.

The kitten skids to a stop and drops all the berries. He turns to run in the other direction, but the Lilligant blocks the other direction. "Just what do you think you're doing?!" She steps forward to grab his arm, but he snatches it away and scrambled backwards.

Once he scrambles back up, he hides behind Marisa's foreleg. "P-please don't let her take me away! I was ju.. just trying to help.. my mama.. I..!" He bursts into sobs.

Well this situation just turned complicated. What does she do?

Koti
While Fomantis didn't seem to be adept at attacking or jumping, they did seem to be pretty good at sneaking! Koti managed to sneak the honey without a hitch.

The Combee flitted about the place a bit more, still gathering nectar, until noticing that their jar was gone! "O-oh no! Where is it?!" The poor bee searches every nook and cranny, but the little mantis blends in, and winds up unfound.

"But I had it- I bet its a honey snatcher! I better tell the queen!" The panicked Combee said to themselves as they fluttered off.

Now what did Koti want to do? They could stick around a little more, or they could move on down the path before "the queen" arrives.

Aria
A small chill turns into a freezing cold as you wander downstairs. Ice crunches under Aria's paws as she walks.

She arrives upon yet another empty corridor, with two different paths, straight ahead and left respectively. A voice can be heard.

"Guess I better snatch more. Boss'll be mad as fire if I don't."

Then, walking down the straight corridor towards Aria was a Rattata. Looks like she found her quarry.

He also found her. His fur stiffened. "Hey! You aren't supposed to be in here!" He yells as he charges at the Bulbasaur with a tackle.

Aria feels the impact of the tackle before attempting to attack back. The cold air made her shiver, but she tried to hold it back as much as possible while she attacked.

blossom gasp "that's no good if we don't fix it none of that any injured Pokemon cant get medical help dont worry Lucifer will help!" she didn't care was boring she wanted to make sure Pokemon need help they get help he she looks at Lucifer excitedly " lucifer you can use your electricity to bring it back to juice!" he wasn't that happy of this job because it was too boring to him he looks at Blossom nervously and shake his head "no no I don't know how to use my electric" blossoms eye Shimmer at Lucifer "don't say that you can put your mind to it you can do anything" lucifer murmur "ok..." he walks up to the machine and makes his stands he concentrate as hard as he can and he unknowingly use his electricity on the machine Blossom jumps up and down "you did it Lucifer good job!"

Marisa went to find The Pokémon’s mom to see if she could be any help

---

“Guess we found em” Tazuli said as she looked around the place, she noticed the trail of Oran berries and decided to follow it to hopefully find the Munchlax

“Wait where? There?” Hikari said before following Tazuli as she follows the trail of Oran berries “shouldn’t we check on those kids though?” He said

“I mean those Munchlax would’ve ran away by now, besides this path needs us to climb down this hill” Tazuli said

“Alrighty then” Hikari said as he continued following her

---

Lucifer & Blossom
As Lucifer concentrates, a sudden surge of energy bursts forth and hits the generator! It lights up and begins to emit a soft hum. Audino claps.

Lucifer just learned Thunder Shock!

"Thank you! Once we get this inside, we'll be back in business in no time!" Audino says cheerfully. She tries to push it back herserlf, but it doesn't budge.

The pink Pokemon sighs. "Would you two mind pushing this thing back in with me? It'll probably move faster that way!"

She backs up to get ready to push it. "Maybe a running start will help! Don't worry, this thing is pretty sturdy."


Marisa
"Wha- wait for me!" The Meowth calls as Marisa leaves, jumping back up and running behind her. He seems to have grown attached to the Absol already, holding on to her paw as he drags her to his house. The Lilligant sighs, picking up her stolen goods and following behind them.

The kitten leads the way to a small shack. He opens the door and runs inside. "Mama, mama! I brought help!"

A weak Persian lying in a nest of blankets lifts her head. Various injuries practically cover her fur. "G-good job, sweetheart."

Lilligant gasps in shock. "Oh my gosh! What happened?!" She rushes over to the injured mother and gives her some orans. She takes them and greatfully eats them. Her injuries start to heal.

"It's strange. Some of the Pokemon in the deeper parts of Coral Cove are... more hostile than usual. Not like themselves."

Lilligant frowned. That was concerning..

Nevertheless she stands up and walks back over to Marissa. "Thank you for your help! If you hadn't have caught him, who knows what would've happened to them." She pulls out 100 Poke as well as a jar of Berry Juice.

"I added a bit extra for your troubles! I can handle the rest from here. Though if you don't mind, could you please tell Miss Audella to come over on the way back to the guild? She's the Audino at the infirmary."
MISSION 'Berry Thief' COMPLETED!
ITEMS OBTAINED: 100 Poke, One Berry Juice
Marisa is now Level 11!

Hikari & Tazuli
The pair follow the trail of oran berries- each one having a huge bite taken out of them- until you find a pair of Munchlax resting under an apple tree.

Both were wearing blue scarves.

"Pah! They weren't chocolate!" The smaller one spits the Poke out of his mouth. The larger one laughs at his partner before looking in the direction of the new arrivals. "Hey, maybe they have some."

The smaller one somehow hops up on his stubby legs. "Hey! Hand over all your snacks to us or else!" The bigger one begins munching on an apple next, too distracted by food to really bother with them.

Aria
As the Rattata hits, Aria endures and even whacks him with a tackle of her own! A warmth fills her as she endures the cold, the Bulbasaur having accidentally learned and used Growth to strengthen herself up.

Rattata huffs. He didn't expect her to fight back. "Think you're tough, huh?! Try this!"

He backs up and charges forward again, this time with a Quick Attack.

The Queen? Koti thought. Well, if it was a Combee, the Queen was propapbly a Vespiquen. She didn't particularly want to stick around and see it. She did feel slightly sorry for the Combee, though, as she wasn't cruel. She picked some nice-looking flowers and made a small bouquet for it, then scribbled 'Sorry for taking your honey' in the dirt, extremely messily. She then hurried off down the path, continuing her journey.

---

they both nod and back up for a running start blossom count "1...2...3!" they both charge at it at the same time

---

She thanks The Pokémon and thought “ wish everything seems different when I become stronger “ and then said “ sure I will keep my eyes out for her “

---

“Would it be fine if we fight them-” Tazuli said before getting cut off by Hikari who somehow got a spark of electricity out on the smaller Munchlax, which was thunder wave

“Well guess we’re actually fighting them” Tazuli said as she quickly used ember on the other Munchlax

---

Felice saw the staircase and rushed down it. It seemed the other pokemon was already gone, which was good. opefully they won't have to talk. She ran down the stairs after the Fomantis and onto the next floor. She then looked around.
((Didn't notice this got updated, sorry!))
