I was jolted awake by a loud yelling racketing my ears. “HEY! YOU TWO! RISE AND SHINE!”
What a ridiculously loud voice! My eardrums will get destroyed! I shifted my wing off of my eye and peeked it open.
“Why are you still ASLEEP? Wake UP already!” I opened my eyes all the way. Loudred was standing at the entrance of our room. Waterking picked himself off his nest.
“My poor ears…”
“Snap out of it! I’m a fellow APPRENTICE and you better not be late for the morning briefing! Or you’ll be SORRY!”
“Why’s that?” I asked.
“Because. Guildmaster Wigglytuff has a BIG temper. If he loses it…” Loudred turned around and shuttered. “Now THAT would be a scary scene!” He turned back to face us. “So ANYWAY, I’m not going to get in trouble because some ROOKIES got up LATE!” He stomped out of the room.
“My ears are still ringing…” Waterking murmured again. “What was that he said? Something about getting ready?”
Both of us jumped away at the same time. “That’s right!” We said to each other.
“We signed up as apprentices yesterday.” I said, looking down and shifting my badge into the right position. “But that means-”
“We overslept!” Waterking ended the sentence for me. We both scrambled out of our nests and ran out of the hallway.
“You’re LATE!” Loudred shouted from where seven other Pokemon were lined up in two rows.
“Hush!” Chatot snapped. “You’re ridiculously loud!” Loudred kept quiet. “Everyone seems to be here and present.” He said, calmer. As I looked around, the Pokemon that were lined up other than me, Waterking, and Loudred were a Croagunk, Dugtrio, Bidoof, Sunflora, Chimecho, Diglett, and a Corphish.
“Very well.” Chatot said in a happier tune. “Let us conduct our morning address.” He turned towards the two doors leading to the Guildmaster’s room. “Oh Guildmaster! Everyone is here and accounted for!” The doors quickly opened and Wigglytuff walked out. “Thank you. Please address everyone.”
Wigglytuff hadn’t moved, just stood there with his eyes open. Small sounds that sounded like snoring came from him. I heard a whisper coming from one of the other Apprentices. ‘Wow! Guildmaster Wigglytuff never fails to amaze me!’
‘Yeah! You sure got that right!’
‘Yup, looks like he’s wide awake.’
‘Eek! But his eyes are wide open! And yet he’s fast asleep!’
Chatot nodded. “Thank you sir. We all value your… Your… Words of wisdom! Ok every Pokemon! Take our Guildmaster’s words of wisdom to heart! And now, we must not forget our morning cheers! All together now!”
Me and Waterking looked at each other before the others started chanting.
“A ONE! A TWO! A ONE-TWO-THREE!”
“ONE! DON’T SHIRK WORK!”
“TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY!”
“THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!”
“Ok, every Pokemon! Get to work!” Chatot said smiling.
“HOORAY!” Everyone shouted. They all started spreading out. Dugtrio and Diglett went underground, Wigglytuff went back to his room, Corphish, Sunflora, and Bidoof went up the ladder, and Croagunk, Chimecho, and Loudred went left on the floor we’re already on.
Me and Waterking weren’t sure what to do, so we began walking over to the ladder.
“Hold up!” We stopped and turned around to see Chatot looking at us. “You two shouldn’t just be wandering around. Come over here.” We followed him as he went up the ladder. He hopped over and stopped in front of one of the boards that we saw yesterday when we came in. “You’re just beginners, so we’ll have you start with this assignment.” He said, reaching up and pulling a paper off of the bulletin board.
I glanced over at Waterking and he looked really excited. “Our first task as an Exploration Team!”
Sorry it's a lot longer than the others. I had to shove a lot in there
