Growls listened to the chimchar as he spoke. He said that he could tell that Growls and Noko were human by the way they acted. This very much intrigued Growls, of course he kept that to himself.

Crimson then added a bit about training and rest. Nothing major... did he mention dungeon? That right there caught Growls's attention. "How long till the dungeon?" Growls asked, following Crimson and Noko.

Exasperated, Noko let go of Crimson's arm - if he was going to trust this stranger, there wasn't much that could be said in the matter.   The Growlithe had introduced himself as Growls.  Good, thought Noko with a touch of bitterness, at least I won't have trouble remembering his name.  What caught him off guard, however, was how casually they began to talk about being human once before.  Even more alarming, Crimson seemed to think that Noko was one as well.

"Wait!  N-no, Crimson, you've got this all wrong," he protested while he was dragged along, "I'm not a human!  I was egg-born, like everyone else!  And... you guys weren't?"  He paused.  "And we're going into another dungeon?"  Another frightened pause, as Growls fell into step behind them.  "And he's coming too?!"

"How long till the dungeon?" Growls had asked. Crimson was about to answer when Noko cut in.

"Wait! N-no, Crimson, you've got this all wrong," he protested while he was dragged along, "I'm not a human! I was egg-born, like everyone else! And... you guys weren't?" He paused. "And we're going into another dungeon?" Another frightened pause, as Growls fell into step behind them. "And he's coming too?!"

Crimson could only smile. He may not realize it, but Crimson could easily tell that he was not Pokemon born. There was a certain unique trait humans turned into pokemon could not hide. Noko's timidness was his proof. Crimson's was intelligence. Growls was a little harder, but his intelligence as well as a little help from his far too obvious name had clued him in. He decided to drop the subject on humans because he knew Noko would just deny it constantly. He didn't remember and it could've happened while he was extremely young.

"Yes, we are going into another dungeon. That's why I suggest we get some rest and train some more before deciding to jump in to the next huge adventure. Don't worry about it. We will go when we're ready." That last sentence was directed to both Noko and Growls. He turned to Noko and whispered in his ears. "And you should be a little more polite to Growls. I'm not ordering you or anything, I'm just suggesting. I plan for you and Growls to be sparring partners until I get my situation under control and I'd rather you be helping each other rather than hurting." He stepped back a pace. "So, where's this hideout of yours, Noko?" he asked.

Growls chose to ignore what Crimson was whispering into Noko's ears, after the part about being polite. That proved that he could at least trust the chimchar. Noko really did seem afraid of Growls, which made him kind of curious as to why. Growls had not made any attacks, maintained his cheery demeanor, and had shown trust of the others. So why would Nokol be so afraid of him? Growls thought he was hardly intimidating.

Out of nowhere, Crimson began to speak in a normal tone again, catching Growls completely off guard. It was something of a hideout. With Crimson's condition of type instability, that would be quite the good idea.

Noko listened to Crimson's whispers intently. His heart sank a bit. Sparring partners? With this Growlithe we barely know? He didn't raise the issue, though; it was probably best to keep up the training with somebody, and he didn't want to disappoint Crimson by refusing. When asked about the hideout, he burst into life again.

"Oh, well, it's not really a hideout. More like a hovel a little distance from the edge of town. It's pretty modest, but I think that it could accommodate..." he turned to look at Growls with his best peace-making face "...three?"

"Oh, well, it's not really a hideout. More like a hovel a little distance from the edge of town. It's pretty modest, but I think that it could accommodate...three?"

Well, I hope so," Crimson replied, jokingly. "I mean we don't want to leave me or Growls in the cold of the night, right?"

He chuckled before turning to Growls. "So are you a part of the Guardians or no?" he asked smiling, to show friendship.

"Was about to be, but the shinx that I was going to join with seemed to disappear. I spent the time that I was suppose to be doing the mission looking for the shinx. Needless to say, the job didn't get done, so I know that she did disappear, but I also got kicked out for ignoring a mission. Eh, stuff happens right? We just learn and move on." Growls said, with a slightly more serious voice than he had been previously using.

Growls said seriously.

Well, that was a change in tone...Crimson thought. It must suck having someone betray you like that. That was the way he looked at the situation. Either way, Growls seemed to be handling it well. We just learn and move on...good philosophy to live by. Nobody was perfect, not him, or Noko, or Growls, and definately not the Shinx. And no one criticized another for their mistakes because we all are human.

Scratch that, we all are pokemon...he corrected himself mentally, smiling inwardly.

"If you don't mind me asking, what was the mission?" Crimson politely asked, his curiosity burning a hole in his pocket faster than a liquor addict with a twenty.

"If I remember correctly, it was actually going into the dungeon where Noko was trapped a little while back and get him out. I ended up spending too much time searching for the shinx and not enough thought about the mission." Growls said, his voice only slightly more cheerful, but still fairly serious.

"If I remember correctly, it was actually going into the dungeon where Noko was traapped a little while back and get him out. I ended up spending too much time searching for the shinx and not enough thought about the mission," Growls had said, the chirpy voice slowly returning.

Ah, so that's why the rescue team didn't come...

Now he was answered that question and it made him feel better that they weren't just ignoring them and abandoning. He would've accused Growls of doing the same thing, but the fact that he was here helping out proved otherwise.

"Huh, interesting..." and that was all he said. He'd explain his little adventure with Noko later, when they could talk alone. It was then that he'd lay upon him what they were after when they went into the other dungeons.

If my calculations are correct...there should be six other dungeons we need to go into...all of them epically dangerous...YOLO...

He chuckled inwardly. "Lead the way, Noko," he called up to encourage him.

While Growls was explaining the goal of his first mission, Noko made an effort to keep looking straight ahead as he walked; he wasn't entirely sure what he thought of it all.  So, he was going to come and rescue me, but couldn't find his partner, so Crimson had to do it alone.  Could it be as simple as that?  Crimson's words of encouragement took him out of his daydreams.  "Lead the way, Noko."  

He nodded.  "It's not far from here.  In a little while it should be in sight." He hoped that they wouldn't be too disappointed when they finally saw the state of his "shelter".  After a few minutes of trudging through light forest, Noko showed them to it: hardly more than a dull wooden shed with a chimney, backing onto a steep hill.  Inside was a single chair, small table and a bit of brown rug.  The fireplace looked makeshift, and nearly unused.  "I know it's not very spacious, but I wasn't really expecting to have guests over," Noko murmured as he showed Crimson and Growls inside.  "I'm sure we can all fit if I push aside some of the, er, furnishings."  He looked deeply embarrassed.

"It's not far from here. In a little while it should be in sight." Noko nodded and they walked onwards, the rest of the way in silence. Silence was good. It was a perfect time to think.

FInally, they arrived. It was about the size of a shed with a chimney. It was definately, not the largest house on the block, but Crimson didn't care. Inside was some furniture: a chair, a table, and a rug, all about the size to match the house.

"I know it's not very spacious, but I wasn't really expecting to have guests over. I'm sure we can all fit if I push aside some of the, er, furnishings." It was clear from the tone and the look on his face that he was embarrased.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, Noko," Crimson shrugged, honestly. "It nice, it's clean, it's tidy, it's cozy, and, best of all, it's small. No one is going to think anything of a small hut in the woods. It's the perfect hideout. I like it. Nice job." he smiled before moving the chair to a corner of the room, then conjured an ember and threw it into the unused fireplace. It ignited immediately, but he knew it wouldn't stay for long. "We need get some wood," Crimson annouced. "Growls, you and I can go take care of that. Noko, you can re-arrange the room to the way you see fit for it to be cozier. He walked out the front door, motioning for Growls to follow.

Just before turning to leave, Growls said "Crimson, we are going to need to grab more sticks then we need. I'll just build myself a small little sleeping room on the other side of the chimney, if that's ok." It was something that Growls found himself enjoying much more than he used to. The small, thrown together sleeping rooms were the type of shelter that felt like a den to Growls, which made it feel like it is a home.

Growls then turned to follow Crimson out into the forest. Withing moments, Growls had picked up a large pile of branches from a tree that had said limbs torn off for one reason or another. "What do you want me to do with this pile of sticks?" Growls asked Crimson.

"That is an interesting theory, but it would also seem that you may just be getting a delayed reaction from the stones, or the stone that you touched last choses what type you change into when one of the mental triggers activates the instability. I have a feeling that this will be interesting." said Growls, now back with his normal sing-songy voice.

Growls picked out a good pile of longer sticks that varied in length and weved them together into a small, makeshift shelter that caused Growls to stand back and look at it with a smile. It stood about as tall as Growls, and as wide and long as Growls, Crimson, and Noko standing side by side, with an entrance way about half the size of the shelter. The structure stood using about 8 supporting sticks in a half circle around the chimney, upon which are covered in a weave of varing sized branches. Inside the structure, it was dug slightly into the ground, about half a foot down, with a small spot in the back that was about the size of Growls that stood about a full foot above the floor of the structure. Growls had also managed to make a shelf next to the sleeping area.

Growls walked out to the remaining pile of sticks. It looked to be about enough to last 1 or 2 nights, but no more than that. "Ok, I'm done." Growls announced.

Noko saw his two new housemates leaving to gather sticks for a shelter.  "Um, I'm sure we can all fit inside the hut..." he called after them, raising a hand halfheartedly.  Well, if Growls wanted to sleep outside, that was his own choice.  Noko honestly couldn't blame him after he saw the hovel's condition.  He sighed and went back indoors.

After a couple of difficult minutes spent trying to rearrange the table and chair neatly into one corner, he stopped and took a second to rest.  His eyes fell on the fire that Crimson had lit with his embers.  He didn't get a proper chance to teach me how to do it, but maybe I could use fire if I really tried.  I've got to get him to practise with me again.

The sound of sticks clattering against the wall told him that Growls and Crimson had returned.  He cleared as much floor space as he could and left the hut to see the new shelter.  It was remarkably well built for such a quick job.  "That's really impressive," Noko said honestly, "but are you really sure you don't want to sleep inside?  I made some space by the fire and everything."

"I think it's just a growlithe thing, but I like to build were I sleep." Growls said politely to Noko. He didn't want to offend Noko. Besides, if he slept inside, he would probably have more room to sleep. Either way, he made it, so Growls shelter filled him with pride.

Crimson smiled at the work Growls had done. He's very resourceful, he thought, still thinking on what Growls had just said. "That is an interesting theory, but it would also seem that you may just be getting a delayed reaction from the stones, or the stone that you touched last choses what type you change into when one of the mental triggers activates the instability. I have a feeling that this will be interesting."

Indeed, it would be. But there was only one way to find out who was right: to get ready for the dungeon to encounter. "That's really impressive," Noko commented. "But are you really sure you don't want to sleep inside?" It was clear he still was focusing on the condition of his house, but it really wasn't bad at all in Crimson's opinion. He didn't need a sprawling mansion equipped with unlimited food and people to wait on him. He preferred the simple life.

"I think it's just a growlithe thing, but I like to build where I sleep," Growls responded, politely.

"Noko, it really isn't a bad hut. I know you're worried on the condition of it, but don't worry about it. I honestly appreciate the house." Crimson added in, sincere and honest. He clapped his hands together. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I think we should go to bed. The sun's already down and I don't know about you two, but I'm beat. It's been a long day. G'nite!" he cheerfully said, then walked over to the rug where the fire was at, curled up, yawned with the comfort of the fire in front of him, and went to sleep.

"Night all!" Growls chirped before crawling into his shelter. Next, he walked up the small ledge and laid down on the bed area. As he drifted to sleep, Growls was wondering what he would do to his shelter next. It would need more support, a door, and some water proofing. He might have to wait till it rains next, and get some mud, then cake it on to the shelter. For now, however, the shelter's current state would hold.

Noko decided not to pressure Growls into sleeping indoors.  He still thought it was weird, but who was he to judge?  Crimson's reassurance and sincere tone made him laugh slightly.  "You don't need to be so nice about it!  You're making me blush."  He gave a nod to Growls, who was crawling into his newly built shelter.  "Goodnight."  I really hope the sticks don't fall down before morning.

He turned and headed back inside the hut.  Crimson had already settled down on the rug, enjoying the fire and apparently already starting to drift off.  "Hey, that's my spot," Noko complained.  "Maybe I should've got you to sleep outside with Growls," he added when he was sure the Chimchar was asleep.  He shrugged off his gathering rucksack and squeezed himself between Crimson and the fire, curling up with a yawn.  The combined warmth of Crimson's tail and the fireplace lulled him into sleep within a minute.

Early to bed, early to rise...

Crimson opened his eyes, blinking, taking in his surroundings, that earworm of a litanty swirlng inside his head. He was still at the hut. It was cooler, meaning that the fire had burned out. He quietly sat up and re-lit the fire, making sure that he didn't wake up Noko, who was still sleeping. Growls was probably doing the same thing.

A surprising typical morning for an un-typical life Crimson was beginning to lead...

He looked around for breakfast and wasn't surprised to find no food in the small house. No matter. He would go get some. He left the house, the sun shining into his eyes as he silently closed the door, careful not to wake up Noko and Growls. He then snuck off, following the prints they had left the day before to get here. He left a more noticeable trail of sticks that pointed the way. From there, he made his way to the clearing and then to the marketplace.

Even at eight o' clock, the place was alive and bustling. People were buying food and equipment to use for their day's journey. Crimson bought a bunch of varieties of fruit: Mangos, Bananas, Pineapple, Apples, Oranges, Papayas, and much more. It used up all his currency, but it would last the group of three for about a week. He then followed the newly created trail back to the house. He placed all the food on the table and sat down in the chair, waiting for Noko and Growls to wake up.
