Ash was finally at first checkpoint of his journey. He wasn't sure that how will it be like but he was in all the way or at least that is what he was hoping for as he entered iron claded halls of guild with Rihana and Serena.

Rihana was feeling hot today and even more just as she entered the hall. It was like different temperature in there .

Even Serena could feel it and she was wearing more clothes than her so she was in worse situation.

Ash on other hand didn't seem to mind it that much . He was already burning with excitement.

"So who are you ?" A voice asked just as they entered a room. The voice belonged to a girl with shiny red hair flowing down to half of her back with emerald like eyes.

"I am Ash Ketchum and these are my friends Serena ..."

"I am Rihana" Rihana introduced herself before Ash could do that .

"Ooh! Prideful.." The girl chuckled to herself.

"So anyway. We have introduced herself . What about you? What is your name ? would you care to tell." Ash asked .

"Well I go by many names depending on time . But you can address me as Roseline." She sighed.

"Alright! So anyway Roseline, was it . I have come to take one of the life plates of Arceus that is in possession." Ash told her .

"Oh ! Have you now?well I am not going to give it to you ." She said solemnly.

"Wait! Why not ? I can face you in Pokemon Battle if you want to earn it .I am pretty good trainer ." Ash told her as Serena and Rihana pulled chairs from table and sat down .

"You seem to misunderstand, kid. We don't fight Pokemon battles in guild or anyone can just come along , defeat us and take it and we wouldn't have plate . How would it be any different from gym trainers?" She said.

"Kid! I am literally a bit younger than you . Oh !  Never mind .then what is the difference between you two?" Ash asked groaning.

"Well basically. In order to obtain this plate, you have to pick one of my Pokemons which I will present to you . Wait...let me put it in rules for you .

1) Choose one of the Pôkemons available to you here

2) Choose one of your two partners with whom you will go on this tag journey who will choose one from Pôkemons available.

3) There is a path created besides this door . Once you enter it , you would find yourself facing a maze . You have to find its ending. If you manage to reach, plate is yours.

4) In the way if maze , you will face soke astray Pôkemons roaming around. You have to defeat them and catch them in order to keep advancing.  If you didn't catch , yoir journey will not be complete.

"So what you are basically telling me here is that I have to go through this freaking drama for like eight times in order to get plates from all of the guild." Ash questionned.

"No! That would be a lie . Now each guild has its own rules. Mine is considered the simplest of all eight I think." She laughed

"This is simple." Ash sighed. Well ! No turning back. No matter what . He has to do it . One way or another. Thete was no turning back now. The First check of his life.

"Well! Will you present Pôkemons first or  I have to choose a partner first ?" Ash asked..

"I would prefer you to choose a partner first . It solves lot of time problems." She suggested.

"Serena. Come on..." Ash said.

"Wait ! Ash .we have to be rational about this. I know that Serena is your girlfriend and all but she is no Pokemon trainer or any help in catching Pokemon. You need an expert like me to assist..." Rihana began .

"What the heck is that supposed to mean ? I am far better at catching Pokemon than you are ..." Serena growled at her .

"Oh really! I was the one who reached the finals in Clevan league. You didn't even manage to win a single gym badge." Rihana countered.

" Because I didn't even try them . I am pretty sure that If I tried, I would have earned them and he where you are now . It is just that I have no interest in it as much as I do in contests...", Serena began .

"Exactly. You don't have interest and a person who is not really into the work can't be relied on in Battle." Rihana argued as Serena glared.

"Rihana! I am taking Serena with me and that is my final decision." Ash told her .

"Fine ! Do whatever you want ..you love boy. Don't say that I didn't warn you when you lose . I don't even know why I am travelling with you in the first place.." She pouted as she stormed off.

"Where is she going? I don't think we know where to find her if she goes too far away ." Ash wondered.

"Who cares? That upstart ..better be gone ." Serena pouted.

"I don't have time for relationship troubles of your life . I have my owns to deal with so you better hurry up ..." Roseline warned them .

"Your relationship or life ..." Ash began to ask but stopped seeing her glare.

"Never mind." He sighed . Phew! Girls are scary.

"I wish choose that . Who is that Pokemon?" Ash asked pointing his pokedex.

"It is  Nicto the psychic Pokemon. It uses large wave of psychic from it weapons to disable other Pokemon's powers temporarily."

"Wow ! I will definitely choose that." Ash gleamed.

"And what does this one do ? I take or .. another evolution of evee." Serena asked.

"Let's see .." Roseline sighed.

As the journey continues.
