“This is the job bulletin board. Pokemon that are from various places come and post things on here when they need help with something. You are aware that there are many bad Pokemon that are showing up in bigger numbers, yes?”
Waterking nodded. “Yeah! It’s because the flow of time has gone all weird. It’s creating havoc, right? And that’s why many bad Pokemon are appearing!
I looked at my partner in surprise. The flow if time is getting messed up? Like… Time? As in hours and minutes? That kind? Is there something going wrong with the time here? And because of that, more and more bad Pokemon are popping up? My mind went back to Zubat and Koffing. Are they bad Pokemon? Have they been doing other bad things
When Chatot nodded it took my focus back up to him. “Precisely.” He said. “The fact that time is going all out of whack has made bad Pokemon show up more than usual. Maybe because of that, we have been seeing an increase in the number of jobs. And… It is not known if this is related to the time’s influence… We have been seeing a mass outbreak of Mystery Dungeons.
Mystery Dungeons
“So Firequeen!” Waterking had turned to me and started talking. “You know how we got my stone back yesterday? That place that we went to, Beach Cave, is a Mystery Dungeon. Mystery Dungeons change every single time you go into it. There's a different layout of the floors and even the items change! But… If you faint in the middle of one then you lose half your money. There’s also a chance that you could lose half of your items or even more. And lastly, when you faint you get kicked right out! They are very strange places. There’s always new things to explore when you go in though! Fantastic places to go exploring in!
Chatot fluttered his feathers. “You sure are quite informed now aren’t you!” He said to Waterking. “This makes my job of explaining easier.” He turned to face both of us. “All jobs take place in Mystery Dungeons. So, I would like you to take this one.” He handed us the paper he had grabbed. On it was a drawing of a Pokemon with words put neatly around it. The picture was a Spoink
“Let’s read it!” The Piplup said, taking the paper and looking down at it
“Hi! My name is Spoink! An outlaw has run off with my most prized possession. That being my precious pearl! To me… That pearl is life itself! If that pearl isn’t on my head, its proper place, I just can’t seem to settle down! But I have heard that it has been spotted! It has been said to be on Rocky Bluff, but that Bluff is extremely dangerous. There’s no way I could go somewhere so frightening! Whoever is friendly enough to read this, would you please go and retrieve my pearl? I’m begging for your help, Exploration Team members! From, Spoink.
“Wait a minute.” Waterking said, peering closer at the paper. “We’re going to fetch an item that someone dropped!? I would rather do something that’s more adventurous.” It looked like his eyes had sparkles in them. “I’d rather look for treasure or explore some unknown places. Things like that!
Chatot snapped at him. “Hush!” Waterking yelped. “It is important that you two rookies pay your dues! Pay attention! I’ll repeat the warnings to make sure they stick! If either of you faints, you’ll be kicked out of the dungeon and sent back here. You’ll lose half your money if that happens! Be careful! Even half of your items or more will be gone too!” His feathers fluttered. “If you understood all that, then I suggest that you get on with the job.
“Uhhh… Yeah.” Waterking said as we walked out of the Guild
It is very compact because there is a lot of talking
