Three hours into the construction and we pretty much have the basics down. We practically turned that room into a small living quarter with everything we need: couple beds, a research station, a kitchen, and a storage room. Three quarters down the whole building we stopped for some snacks together.

“This cupcake is great!” Wesley exclaimed with his mouth full while munching down a cupcake.

“They’re really good indeed,” I said, holding another cupcake. “Do you cook all the time, Niki?”

“Just enough for me not to starve while exploring,” Niki chuckled, slowly sipping the cup of tea on her hand. “But I can still make good snacks once a while.”

“Those cookies Lillith made are so good as well,” Nikko commented, looking at the stack of cookies next to the cupcakes.

After I finished another cookie and a cup of tea, I lied on the ground in with a satisfied feeling.

“Tired already, Max?” Crag joked.

“Nope, just to relax a bit after the meal,” I replied.

“You look like you’re about to fall asleep,” Crag smirked.

“That’s because I really am,” I stated, lying on the ground with hands under my head.

“Get your ass movin’ and finish that job before sleepin’, buddy!” Wesley remarked while glaring at me.

“Fine, fine…” I said, sitting up again.

“HEY!”

A loud voice came from nowhere and attracted our attention. We all turned around and noticed three Borboachs staring at our base, and they looked really unimpressed.

“Who the hell are you, and what the hell are those back there!?” shouted the Borboach with a toilet cleaner on hand.

“Oh dear, here we go again…” Dastan groaned.

“This here is the King’s royal ground! And you lots are not supposed to—” the other Borboach suddenly stopped and sniffing around. “Is that cupcake I just smell?”

“Yes, it is~” Checker innocently called from the picnic ground. “Wanna join us?”

Mark silently scalded Checker’s bad situational awareness when I looked at ActRaisers.

“No, no, no, you are not thinking that.”

“Oh please, just how bad can a cupcake be anyway?”

“But they are trespassers!”

“But I’m HUNGRY!!!”

Wesley overheard the Borboachs’ conversation and had an idea. He flew just a pace next to the Borboachs and they looked at him, saying, “What do you want? Can’t you see we are talking?”

“Look, Busters,” Wesley started. “We are from the Explorer’s Guild and we are only here to look around. No harms done…yet, if you know what I mean.”

“S-so?” said one of the Borboachs as they backed away from Wesley. I suddenly have a creepy feeling coming out from him.

“So, if you two insists to get yourself in trouble by messing with us… How many Pokémon you can see here? Sixteen, perhaps?” Wesley showed a devious grin at the guards as he gets closer. “You may be right, ‘cause this is the number of Pokémon who’s going to beat you into pulps.”

“H-help…”

Then Wesley suddenly backed up and returned to his normal, friendly self.

“Or, if you are willing to look the other way, you can have as many cupcakes and cookies over there as you want,” he said with a big grin. “How ‘bout it?”

The two guards looked at each other, then they scanned around the room to see that they are really in a bad position: I’m staring at them with a death glare, Thorn stood next to me, crossing his arm, Niki had her claws out, and Rod had his flame turned on.

“I…I think we’ll just take the snack and… uh… leave?”

They nervously walked toward the snacks, took a couple cupcakes, and left with their tails between their legs, literately. Boy, I could even see their hands shaking when they took these cupcakes!

After the guards left, Wesley took out a key on his hand and turned to me.

“Well, buddy, wanna go check out the rest of the place?” he asked with a big grin.

“Where did you get that key?” Dastan asked bewilderedly.

“I took it from them those coward guards while I intimidated them,” Wesley deviously smirked.

“Oh, Wesley…” I groaned with a wryly chuckle.

“You lost the key!?”

“That’s odd, I swear I had it on hand…”

“Stop acting dumb and go look for it, you dope!”

“Jeez… today’s really not our day at all…”


“Funny,” I said after the echo faded. “Somehow I feel bad for them.”

“They deserve that,” Thorn commented.

“Anyway, are we gonna continue on or not?” Wesley asked.

“How about the project behind us?” I asked, pointing backward at the base.

“It’s almost done anyway, I can stay with three or four ‘mons and finish them quickly,” Niki replied.

“Checker and I will stay,” Mark said. “We know what the guild leaders want better than anyone.”

“I’ll stay,” Rod coldly said.

“Wha— Why?” Lillith asked in shock. She turned to Rod, and he just looked around didn’t say a thing. She sighed.

“Fine… if you’re staying, I guess I’m staying, too…”

“Crag, Phara, you two comin’?” I asked.

Crag and Phara looked at each other. Phara shook her head and Crag shrugged.

“Nah, we’ll pass,” Crag replied.

“Really? I thought you’ll be eagered for that,” I said in surprise.

Then I looked around and give myself an idea who else was coming: Wesley, Dastan, Neige, Nikko, Elexania, Thorn, and Aurora.

“Looks like it’s just us, huh?” Thorn commented.

“That’s more than enough,” Elexania remarked.

“So are we ready to go?” Neige asked.

“Anytime,” I said. “But there’s a room I wanna check out first…

Back in the metal shard room, we already revealed two doors, with two more doors left to open. One of them locked and the other isn’t. We gathered around the unlocked door and get ready to get in to check it out before we deal with a locked door.

I didn’t say a thing. I looked around, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

“What in the name of holy hell is this!?”

Wesley is really good at playing "Carrot in one hand with the bat in the other", doesn't he? :XD:
