Someone losing their child was alarming. The world was full of dangers, and Callum and Nico had been quick to take the job when theyโd seen it. They had yet to go on their first ever job as new members of the guild, but the meadows seemed a fine enough place to start. After all, what were some measly grass types compared to two friends who could survive anything!? Despite his confidence, Callum looked around the area with suspicion. Sure, a few little pokemon wouldnโt be much trouble (he hoped), but what if there were traps or something? What if someone had left out a poisoned apple and Nico ate it? That sounded terrible!
โCome on, Nico!โ He called, trying to brush away the worry that was starting to appear on his face. He hoped there were no flying-types in the dungeon; that had the possibility to spell bad news for the wurmple they were looking for. He hoped no-one would attack a baby, but something about mystery dungeons made pokemon so hostile. Or maybe pokemon who were hostile just naturally gravitated towards mystery dungeons? Callum wasnโt quite sure. โMan, when we find that kid, Iโm gonna- Iโm gonna tell him how dangerous this is!โ The mienfoo said, waving one three-fingered hand in the air. โOnly adults are supposed to go in dungeons!โ A horrible idea struck him then and he looked around again.
โYou donโt think the wurmple was...kidnapped, do you?โ It was probably just some kid wandering away from home, but that didnโt make Callum feel any better. โI hope this kid gets grounded!โ Callum groused, attempting to hide his worry with anger. The mienfoo hoped that they were just dealing with an adventurous sort, someone who had wandered away in search of fun. 296 WORDS looking for wurmple! THANK YOU MALIA TATE FROM ADOXOGRAPHY

| T his was Nico's first job ever! That was naturally very exciting to the little slug. It seemed like they had been living in the shadow of their mother only yesterday, sheltered from the world and ignorant of how wonderful their life could truly be. Now, they had a best friend and were exploring dungeons! How exciting!
"I'm comin'!" The goomy called to their best friend, slithering forward with as much speed a slug could manage. They were leaving a truly impressive trail of slime behind them, though they didn't put any thought to it. Slime was wonderful! They were sure the pokemon living in the dungeon wouldn't mind. "Aw, I reckon the little scamp didn't mean to worry no one." The goomy patted Callum's side with a slimy horn, a sympathetic look on their face. "Poor little guy probably just wanted to seem big and tough!"
Callum's question brought pause to the goomy. "I ain't sure." They shuddered at the thought of malicious pokemon sneaking into town and stealing sleeping children from their beds. "But I reckon you could beat up any kidnappers! They'll regret makin' you mad, brother!" They beamed up at their best friend.

Callum realized, after a moment, that he was ever so slightly faster than Nico, seeing as they had no legs and all, and so he stopped for a second. He glanced at the trail of slime for a moment before shrugging. You didnโt get to be friends with a particularly gooey goomy without experiencing your fair bit of slime, and so it didnโt really bother him. โYeah? Well, he worried everyone anyway! I hope heโs safe, just so I can tell him he needs to never leave home without an adult!โ Callum paused for a moment. โOf course, I would have done the same stuff if my parents wouldnโt have disowned me for it. Still! He shouldnโt go off wandering alone, you know?โ No one should go wandering in a mystery dungeon alone, not unless they were really tough!
Nicoโs complement of his toughness had Callum smiling shyly before he gave his best โtough guyโ pose, crouching down slightly and spreading out his arms. Unfortunately for any attempt the mienfoo was making at looking fearsome, he appeared more to be doing yoga than actually getting ready to fight. โWith your help, I think I can do anything.โ He said with a serious nod. Callum was about to turn and keep searching through the grass for any sign of the wurmple or stairs when his foot collided with something. About to grouse that his toes were now stubbed, the mienfoo instead took a closer look at what he had bumped into. โA seed!โ He exclaimed, quickly picking it up and depositing it in his bag. โAnd look! Thereโs one for you, too, Nico!โ Their first pile of loot! How exciting!
Remembering that he was supposed to be serious and suspicious, Callum slowly turned over the second seed before plopping it in the goomyโs bag. โThey donโt SEEM dangerous. But it could be a trap. We should still watch out for anything.โ With that, the pokemon began to glance around the meadows, staring particularly hard at an especially dangerous looking flower.

| N ico frowned up at Callum. It wasn't in their nature to argue with their best friend, but it seemed to them that Callum had overlooked something incredibly important! "But, bro, if they can't leave without an adult... how are they gonna up and see all the pretty stuff outside? What if there's a rainbow and there ain't no adults around?" That was an awful thought! The goomy shuddered, squeezing their eyes shut and rolling their horns close to their head. "I know, bro, but a life without adventure... That ain't no life at all! A little brother gots to take risks, you know?"
Nico looked up with admiration at the mienfoo as he struck a pose. In Nico's eyes, Callum was the most amazing 'mon to ever hatch! "Whoa, bro! You're so cooool!" They stretched out their horns to Callum, touching the sensitive nubs to his fur. "Aw, man, you really think so?" The goomy blushed and straightened up, trying to look respectable. They failed. "Well, I reckon I can too! If you want, bro, I'll do anything for you! I'll go up and get the moon, if you want!"
"Oh, sludge!" They fretted as Callum stubbed his toes. "Let me see your toesies, bro! They ain't bruised, are they?" They slithered over as quickly as they could, peering down at Callum's furry paws as if their eyes had healing beams. They didn't even notice the seeds. At least, they didn't until Callum said something. "Whoa! Little baby plants!" They began to turn in a circle as they tried to look in their bag. "Do you think we could plant these little sisters? What do you think they'd grow? I'd bet they'd be pretty!"
"Aw, they ain't dangerous. They're just little friends looking for someone to take care of them! It's okay, little seeds, your parent Nico is here for you!"

the grass rustled with the sound of heavy, plodding footsteps, and before long a wild rhyhorn comes trudging from the growth. upon catching sight of the explorers it perks its head, before grumbling an agitated roar and beginning to charge. what will you do?

Callum paused. While it was unusual for the goomy to disagree with him, the mienfoo tried to consider their feelings and not treat them like a doormat to plow over. And, in this case, Nico definitely had a good argument. โWell, I guess thatโs true. I just donโt like worrying that something bad happened. But if we never took risks, nothingโd ever get done, would it?โ He reached out to gently pat Nico, not minding the slime that stuck to his hand. So what if his best friend was gooey? He was used to that by now.
โYou donโt have to go get the moon for me!โ Callum said quickly, patting Nico frantically. โI can get it for you though, if you want!โ It wasnโt often that the mienfoo was as gushy as his best friend, but he tried his hardest to return the affection he got. When his toes were inspected, the furred pokemon held up his foot, precariously balancing on one leg for a moment before he was sure Nico had seen that he was fine. โNo bruises! Just seeds.โ At the question of -planting- the seeds, Callum frowned. The frown got deeper as Nico called themselves the seeds parent. He chewed on his lip for a moment. โUm, weโre supposed- weโre supposed to eat them if we get in trouble, Nico.โ His voice was decidedly apologetic. โBut, uh, we could get some flower seeds and plant those?โ
He didnโt like ruining Nicoโs happiness, but sometimes it was better to set things straight with them. He didnโt like to lie to Nico. However, the mienfoo was unable to continue his conversation with his best friend when heavy footsteps came into earshot. Soon enough, the culprit was seen; a rhyhorn, ready to charge and potentially hurt his best friend, which was simply unacceptable.
โNico, watch out!โ Callum cried out, crouching down before darting forward. He aimed to sweep his leg underneath the other pokemon, trying to take out his legs and force the other pokemon to fall. โNo one hurts Nico on my watch!โ He cried out, eyes narrowed. The mienfoo had left himself open for attack in the event that his kick missed, but he was confident in his aim- maybe too confident. There was always the chance of failure, after all.

| N ico would surely have scratched their chin at this point, had they anything to scratch their chin with. Well, they probably also needed a chin. No matter! All that mattered was that they were with Callum and Callum was with them! They stretched up towards Callum's hand as the mienfoo pulled away, greedily twisting their horns around his paw. They didn't want the pats to ever stop! "Hey, when we finish up this nasty business and rescue wormkid, you should give me some real sick headpats for bein' a wicked teammate." They pressed up against Callum in a fashion that would be catlike if they had a body or resembled a cat in any manner.
They poked their tongue out of their mouth, their lips tugging slightly downwards. Callum sure sounded all worried-like about something! "Well, I reckon I could lift it." They said in a most reasonable fashion, hoping that the power of logic would calm down their anxious best friend. Poor Callum was always keen to get all twisted up over something. It was a good thing he had a great friend like Nico to chill him out! "But if we work together, it'd probably be even easier to lift!" They were privately grateful they wouldn't have to lift up the whole moon by themself. It seemed heavy and they didn't have any hands.
"Oh!" Nico blinked a few times, trying to process that there were seeds that weren't meant to be planted. It seemed rather silly to Nico. "But, if we ain't supposed to plant them... where are we gonna get more?" Nico looked towards their bag, lines creasing their brow as they thought very hard about the possibility of eating some innocent seeds. They immediately forgot all about this because flowers! "Oh! I wanna get some pansies! Some tulips! Some wild and freaky flower-bros! Maybe even..." Nico hushed their voice; "Daffodils."
The goomy perked up a bit at the sound of heavy footsteps. A friend, maybe? Their mouth dropped into an 'o' shape as the rhyhorn came into view. A big friend! "Heyo!" They greeted, waving their horns gently back and forth. "Oh, man, he don't look too happy! You think he's all up and mad at us for intrudin'? He's gonna get all kinds of harsh at us!" Oh, but there went Callum like a speeding bullet! Whatever a bullet was! Nico stretched to their full height and 'oooh'd and 'ahhh'd as Callum defeated the unfortunate rhyhorn.
"That was wicked!" Nico squealed, trembling like a leaf in the wind. "I wanna do one next! Next bad guy better watch out, cause guildie Nico is on the case to wam and bam and thank you ma'am!"

ironically enough, a moment later a wild ponyta comes charging from the grass with an agitated whinny, tackling into Nico and dealing 5 points of damage! what will you do?

The mienfoo grinned at Nicoโs suggestion, not minding that his paw was full of slime now. โThat sounds like a great idea. One of the best ideas Iโve ever heard, really.โ He wasnโt being patronizing; Callum adored spending time with Nico, and if the goomy wanted headpats, then the idea of headpats was wonderful! Any idea that made Nico happy was wonderful, to be honest. The mention of lifting the moon had the mienfoo pausing. โI just meant that you donโt have to do anything special for me. Just being around you is special enough.โ His words were a bit shy, but the fighting-type was still smiling.
โNico,โ the pokemon began, โI think that together we could do anything. Even lift the moon, if you wanted.โ Again, Callum pat the goomy on the head. He pondered the question of how to get more seeds if you didnโt plant them, but was quickly distracted by Nicoโs excitement over flowers. โWhatever flowers you want! Even daffodils!โ Callum wasnโt certain what was so whisper-worthy of daffodils, but if Nico thought they were interesting, then they would get plenty of daffodils.
Then the fight came. Callum tried to keep it cool as the rhyhorn fainted, like he had totally expected things to go smoothly. He tilted his chin up slightly, waving his tail back and forth in a manner that betrayed his excitement. Nicoโs clear thrill at the fact heโd done so well made warmth bloom in his chest and he let his previous attempt at a cool exterior fade in favor of rushing over to the goomy. โUm, thanks! Do you think there will be more? Of course, together we can take anyone down!โ Maybe that was over-confident, but friendship triumphed anything, didnโt it?
Nicoโs excitement was contagious. โYeah! Youโll get โem good! I bet no one is going to see it coming when you beat them up!โ So excited was he that he barely noticed the ponyta, until it made noise. Callum tensed up, expression twisting into one of fury when the ponyta tackled Nico. He had been too slow to stop that, and he made a mental note to get stronger, better, faster, to protect Nico. โHey! Nobody hurts them! Youโre gonna regret hurting my best friend!โ Callum leapt forward, aiming to smack the ponyta with his arm. โDonโt you dare touch them!โ

| I f Nico was one hundred percent honest with themself and examined their life before Callum had entered it, they would be forced to confront the fact that people had not always been kind to them. They had never been particularly important to the people in their life, their feelings always being placed on the backburner as far as their family and friends were concerned. It was... strange to look at Callum and realize that he actually thought they were special. That made the goomy blush a bit, a splash of green across purple.
"Callum, you know..." The little slug-dragon began, twisting their horns together and peering up at their best friend. "You make me real happy. The happiest goomy in the whole sludgin' world!" They puffed up and stretched out their smile real big, so big that Callum would surely know all the love they had in their heart for him. They quivered a bit, curling their horns close to their gooey bodies. "Aw, shucks, Callum! You're gonna make me get all blushy..."
They surged forward. There wasn't any particular increase in speed, but they did leave a lot more slime behind. "Aww, Callum, do you like me? You got all them shiny bonds of fraternity brewing, bro? You got some cares? Some good, good feels?" They stretched upwards and rubbed their head against the lovely palm, before zooming off again. It wasn't really a zoom. More like a slow crawl forward. "Daffodils are wicked, broseph. Brollum."
"I hope there's more-" Nico had been looked at Callum and thus not paying attention. In fact, they never paid attention. It was pretty amazing that they missed a whole horse, though. The ponyta tackled the poor goomy and sent them tumbling back onto their own slime trail. It took them a few precious seconds to get righted and they fixed themself just in time to see Callum confront to no-good equine. "Get 'er, Callum!" They called, horns quivering. "Oh man! Am I bleedin'?" They began to slowly turn in a circle in an attempt to see if they were bleeding.
But wait, they needed to help Callum! They needed to rescue him!
Except... they had never fought before. Especially such a scary and noble looking horse. They looked up at the ponyta, which suddenly seemed very big, and gulped. But Callum was in danger! Surely they could find bravery deep inside of them? They looked inward and thought really hard about being brave. They thought about their mom and how she towered over them and seemed to take up the whole room. That didn't help.
They thought about Callum and how he beat up that Rhyhorn.
They narrowed their eyes and called forth a sudden power that rose in their chest. It felt like... bubbles? It was bubbles! They forced them up and out of their mouth, shooting the stream at the ponyta.
