"where did you find this?" Hino asked Scorch evenly.
Scorch blinked "it was on me while I was passed out. Why?" He asked
sincerely.
"That's the first team to have disappeared. Strange thing is they
had a Quilava on their team, but he died" Hino said quietly. He
shook his head clear. "Um maybe it was on the ground when you
appeared. We don't know everything yet" he said quietly.
Scorch frowned 'I thought you were dead!' Beedrill's words
repeated in his mind.
"Come on let's go see if Spring is done with dinner yet" Hino said
quietly and lead Scorch outside.
Aki nodded cheerfully. "That'll work!" He said brightly, spotting
Hino leading Scorch out. "Excuse me! Guildmaster!" He called,
padding over (somewhat nervously, to be perfectly honest). "Can we
talk to you for a second?" He called awkwardly. Flair nudged him
supportively.
Uki was on the ground next to Aki. "When Flair and Aki were on an
exploration mission, I thought of something that might help us
find, or at least find out what happened to the missing pokemon.."
Uki said
"May I intrude the conversation?" The same Froslass from before
came in. "Sorry, I overheard you guys talking about missing
Pokemon...and Im just, so worried about them! I can't hold myself
from trying to hear any new info about them~."
(it's fine. Scorch woke up and went on a rescue mission with Aki
and Flair while Uki was left behind. They went out and fought a
Beedrill when their mission was taken by someone else rescuing a
Charmander. The Beedrill seemingly knew Scorch, and Scorch has a
badge from a missing mystery team. Now they're back in the base
waiting for dinner while Uki talks to Hino about going to find a
xatu and seen were the missing Pokemon may have went.)
Hino shook his head and looked at Uki "so what is your idea?" He
repeated patiently.
"Alright everyone! Dinner's ready!" Spring called, Crona was next
to Spring. She had helped the lopunny with dinner even though she
was not aloud to eat.
"Well, I heard things about a pokemon called Xatu who can see the
past and the future. If we can find Xatu, we can possibly convince
them to look into the past and see what happened to the missing
pokemon. I came to ask if tomorrow we can gather info on Xatu and
look for its whereabouts." Uki suggested nervously
Hino looked thoughtful and nodded "we'll see if anyone knows about
Xatu. Once we do we'll figure out how we'll ask them for help" he
said .
Scorch shrugged and ran down to the dining room. He saw Chomp and
quickly went over to the Totodile. "Hey Chomp. I need to ask you a
question" he said quickly.
Chomp looked over to Scorch and blinked "what about" he asked
cheerfully as the two went into the dining room. Scorch waved to
Spring kindly.
"I'm wondering if you'll be my teammate I'd like to try and go
explore more mystery dungeons"
Scorch flinched slightly when Crona looked away from him and Chomp.
Does she trust me? he thought to himself sharply. He shook
his head clear and ran over to a seat a bit further away from Crona
and the head of the table.
"So Scorch what should our team name be?" Chomp asked
cheerfully.
"Huh?" Scorch replied distractedly and tipped his head to the side.
"Sorry what was that?" He said quietly.
"What should our team name be! I mean I've been looking for a
partner to go dungeon crawling with me. I'm glad you chose to stay.
So what should our name be" Chomp repeated cheerfully.
Aki and Flair hurried after Uki quickly, taking their usual seats
at the table near Uki. Flair flipped open her book, and Aki began
doodling aimlessly in the air.
