[For this portion of the application, make your best effort to follow the italicized lines and NPC dialogue with whatever you wish, in order to explain your team. You can even change the setting of the interaction as long as the NPC still asks all the necessary questions. Be creative! You may delete this line if you wish.]

A single streak of blue sky between the dense clouds above Andalusst City marks the start of an unpredictable morning, and it seems like rain or shine could develop at a whim. The assorted traders and pedestrians mulling about seem to be a little wary, trying to park their stalls and carts in shaded areas or making efforts to keep their dry produce hidden away for now.

While the Explorers Guild Hall isn't exactly the most eye-catching building, it still has a somewhat homely feel to it, even though your party has only just finished registering. The Explorers seem to have a certain unmistakable aura to them, though one in particular happens to meet your gaze.

The Servine leaning against a nearby wall inclines her narrow snout toward you and gives a little nod, her bright eyes briefly visible under the shadow of her hat.

"Hey... New, are you?" She speaks with a hint of caution, but her tone is otherwise welcoming. "Hmm, stupid question. 'Course you are, I saw you sign in. Admittedly I'm not great with this meet and greet stuff, so how about exchanging names to start things off? You first."

“I’m Richard, and this…” Richard stopped for a moment to look back and see that Ryuka was hiding behind him, albeit while looking at the Servine from over his shoulder. “This is my little brother, Ryuka.”

"H...Hello..." Ryuka said nervously shortly after being introduced.

Upon receiving this response, she relaxes a little, folding her small arms across her chest. "Ahh, that's great. Yeah, when you said your name just then, it had that... that "zing". It means you're serious about this, yeah? As for me, my name's Teresa. I'm what you'd call a Guild Assistant, which makes me your Serperior."

“Serperior? But…aren’t you a Servine?” Ryuka asked nervously, not getting that Teresa was merely joking.

She stares at you with a blank face for a moment, then giggles quietly. "You know, you don't have to be so polite. I don't really care about rank and file, but I do care about honesty. If I tell a joke and it sucks, feel free to roll your eyes."

She extends one of her thin, green vines and nods, expecting a handshake even though she keeps her arms folded. "So what brings you here, anyway? You from out of town, or...?"

Richard shakes the vine presented to him and explains, “The two of us...were actually raised apart. We were told it was for our protection. I was raised by a Blaziken in a forest far away from here, just outside the fog as a matter of fact. Ryuka was raised by a Xatu that lived in a canyon, also far from here. We found each other a few months ago, and it was the Xatu that told us we were brothers.”

Satisfied with your answer, Teresa nods and withdraws her vine. "Cool, cool... Well, whatever the case, you've got a name in mind for your group, right? I didn't get a chance to check your papers, but I do want to get more familiar with our rookie members when I have the time. I'm kinda new to this whole assistant thing, honestly."

“We decided on Team Blue Blade. We based the name off a story in one of Ryuka's picture books involving a Honedge with a blue blade that could cut through anything. Nothing special really." Richard explained as he scratched the back of his head, slightly embarrassed.

A smile creeps over her narrow features when she hears the given name of your team, though it's ambiguous as to whether she found it inspiring or amusing for other reasons. "There's that "zing" again. Feels good to know we've got Pokémon like you joining our Guild. I guess Cassidy wasn't exaggerating when he said the standouts just keep pouring in. Just don't get cocky - confidence is good, but overconfidence in a dungeon is a quick way to get yourself in trouble, along with everyone else in your party." She taps the side of her snout, then clicks her tiny fingers as another question enters her mind. "Oh right, this is very important - why did you want to become an Explorer, hm? Just curious..."

“My brother and I, or at least from what we’ve been told, are descended from a tribe called the Aura Guardians. They used to thrive all over the world, but somehow they nearly died out, our parents included, making Ryuka and I the last of them. So we want to explore the world and find whatever ruins and artifacts they might’ve left behind, learn whatever we can about them and what happened to them in the first place, and….hopefully learn about our parents in the process.” Richard explained.

She listens patiently to the explanation, but as soon as you're done with the tale, she immediately begins speaking again, her words leaving her mouth more rapidly and urgently than before. "...Because ultimately, the people come first, yeah? There's lots of food in the dungeons, and materials for clothing and medicine! When we go out and find that stuff, it means everyone here gets to have dinner. I mean, you know that, obviously, but just don't forget!"

“Of course! We’ve got no problem with helping folks out while we do our thing.” Richard replied and then turned to Ryuka asking him, “Right?”

“Mhm.” Ryuka responded with a nod.

Teresa sways her leaf-adorned tail from side to side and taps her foot, momentarily distracted by her own thoughts, a wanting grin plastered across her face. When she snaps back to reality, she lifts her snout into the air and clears her throat. "N-not to sound standoffish, but what exactly do you do, anyway? What skills or talents do you have to offer the Guild? Everyone's good at something, I think."

“Well…going back to the whole ‘descended from Aura Guardians’ thing, we can use our Aura at will, though I can only use it to fight. Ryuka here can track other Pokemon's aura, use his aura to fight, create shields, and heal wounds. We were told Ryuka's eyes are blue instead of red because he has such an unusually powerful aura.”

Even before you've finished properly answering, Teresa clicks her fingers and purses her lips, as if hearing that mythical zing yet again. "I can just feel it, you do what you do and do it with everything you've got. 'Cause in this guild, when a giver gives, then the giver gets... gotten... gets give-- eh, well you get what you give, or something. Whatever, it's written down on that big plaque in the hall. Just do your best and come see me if you need any help."

“Will do, thank you! Alright, let’s go, Ryuka!” Richard said before he and Ryuka turned to leave.

“Okay, brother.” Ryuka said calmly as he followed Richard while politely waving to Teresa.

Sounding much more cheerful than when she'd first approached, she gives you a little wave and turns to immediately engage another group of recruits nearby, no doubt asking them similar questions. The life of a Guild Assistant must be a busy one.
