Pitch Black darkness

Lance was walking through the forest, named Shadowhue. He has been here many times before, many times indeed. Or was it Pecha Forest he visited a lot? He didn't know. What he did know was now he was on his own for now. He chose to leave the guild though, and he knew it was probably for the best. He's an explorer, not a item finder or an escort. The guild also specializes in some exploring, but Lance knew he could get much more done if he left and found someone who did nothing but explore. One someone, or a bunch of someones, it didn't matter to him. He might even go solo, exploring the lands on his own, and possibly get a reputation. He was too busy thinking that he didn't know where he was going.

A small Caterpie was crawling fast between the bushes. He was going to join the guild a while ago but his partner somehow ended up vanishing. On top of that, the guild leader seemed like a big chikorita. He was scared to go back there because of that but he would never admit that. After all, he was going to become a great rescuer. What would others think of him if they knew he was scared of that Pokemon?

Where did Choco run off to? I thought we would form a rescue team together. Bah, he probably got scared and went home. I will become a hero on my own then. Someone as amazing as me doesn't need any help. It's his loss for leaving. I will show everyone what an amazing rescuer I can be.

He was barely paying attention to where he was going and ended up reaching a path. As he rushed over it, someone kicked him and he ended up rolling away a bit. "H-Hey, watch where you are going." The Caterpie said as he got up, slightly dizzy.

As Lance was walking, he accidentally kicked something. Looking at it, he saw that it was a caterpie. He was about to go check to see if the bug pokemon was ok, but then it told him to watch where he was going. "Watch where I'm going? I wasn't the one who blindly charged through the path." He said to the insect, in a slightly annoyed tone. At least he knew the Caterpie was ok enough. "You should be careful around here, doing things like that won't make the wild Pokemon around here happy."

The Caterpie shook it's head and looked at the Pokemon that kicked him away. It was walking on its hind legs and it had a blue and black coloration. It also seemed to have red eyes. From the voice, Pokkoji could make out that it was male. He didn't sound so friendly. Pokkoji was the one who got kicked away though.

"Hey, I'm looking for Choco. We were going to form a team at the guild but then he ran away. I wanna know why he left." A hint of anger and disappointment was audible in his voice, but also a hint of sadness. The Caterpie looked at the strange Pokemon in front of him. "So, what Pokemon are you? I never saw a Pokemon like you before." Pokkoji asked curiously. He was forgetting to introduce himself here. He didn't think that he might come off rude towards the other Pokemon.

"I'm a Riolu." Lance said, not minding that the Pokemon didn't introduce himself. Perhaps he didn't want to, and if that is why, the fighting type wasn't going to force him to. "So your friend ran away, and that's why you're ru-" He hesitated. "Crawling...through the forest?" He knew what the Caterpie was feeling. When he was in the Guild, some of his team-mates left, and he didn't see them for a long time. "How about I help you look for your friend? It would help if you had someone with you." Lance said, his annoyance towards the Caterpie fading away.

The Caterpie quickly cheered up when the Riolu offered to help search for his lost team member. "Yay, will you really help me? Lets go search for Choco then." The Caterpie was really happy about the fact that the Riolu was willing to help him. The child was already crawling away in a random direction to start searching for his lost friend.

Of course the Caterpie forgot to mention that Choco was a Weedle. How was the Riolu supposed to know that? Pokkoji also didn't introduce himself or ask for the name of the Riolu. The only thing he could think about at that moment was to find Choco and ask him why he left before they could make the team. Did the guildmaster scare him? Maybe Choco also didn't like Chikorita? He had to know.

The Riolu was happy that the Caterpie's mood had improved. He walked behind the bug type, looking around for any signs of the Caterpie's friend...which he just now realized he didn't know what he looked like. "Hey, what does Choco look like?" He asked. He wouldn't be much help searching for someone if he had no idea what he was looking for. "I know you are in a rush to find your friend, but I can't exactly help if I don't know what he looks like. Do you know what species he is?" He took a look around. This was instinctive for him, since Pokemon are always looking to attack others from outside of the Mystery dungeon.

The Caterpie looked at the Riolu. "Oh right, you don't know Choco. Choco is a Weedle. He is about as big as me, but I am still bigger." Pokkoji said. He was boasting a bit. He actually had no clue which one of them was bigger. The Caterpie went back to searching for Choco. He was planning to give that Weedle a good beating if he had no good excuse for running away on him. They had almost been part of the guild, and Choco left him alone with the scary, big chikorita. He could have stayed, but didn't want to. And used Choco as an excuse for not having joined the guild now.

"Ok, so we're looking for a Weedle about your size." Lance said. He continued looking around for Choco, sometimes looking behind a tree. After searching for awhile, he wondered if Choco was even in Shadowhue forest. "Hey, how do you know that Choco is here?" He asked. "You said that he ran away, but did you actually see where he ran off to?" He continued searching after asking the question, knowing that Choco might be in Shadowhue after all, and that he was worrying for nothing. He waited for a response while searching, but he bumped something with his foot that caught his attention.

Pokkoji kept looking out for the Weedle he knew as Choco. It was rather dark and difficult to see. He almost fell down a small hole. Then his companion asked how he knew Choco was here. Pokkoji looked up and realized he actually had no clue where he ran off to. He turned to the Riolu to answer. "I dunno where Choco is. I saw him come here but I lost him. Now I need to find him and beat him up. Choco left me alone with the big Chikorita before we became a team." He spoke in a childish voice. He was rather angry and hurt at that. Choco would have to feel the consequenses for this.
