The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series of games are owned by Gamefreak and Nintendo and are not my property.
I own 2 OCs in this, that being the main character Pokemon in the Time, Darkness, Sky games and their partner. Their names will be Trish the Vulpix and Maxi the Mawile and the story will be told by Trish's POV.
If I add any new OCs, I will introduce them with their names in bold.
With this out of the way, let's begin.
Chapter 1
It was all so sudden. I remembered a big flash of light and tons of pain... I remembered someone asking me to hold on, hold on as long as I could... but I couldn't. The pain was too much to handle. Then I remembered the sounds of a storm, water and thunder pounding the area around me as I collapsed on a sandy area. My vision was cloudy when I awoke next, and I was only able to take in a few glances of my surroundings in my weakened state. "Rgh... w-where am I?..." I asked, wondering what had happened. The only thing I remembered was the pain, the bright light, the sound of another person, the storm, and my name. I then blacked out again only after a few seconds of seeing something that made me tear up. Sunlight. Why did it look so beautiful to me? I guess I'd never know now...
I didn't know how much time had passed, but I soon heard the sound of footsteps approaching as well as a pair of hands grabbing onto me and shaking me a bit. "A-Are you okay? Please answer me!" a voice said, which sounded like a young girl's voice. I opened my eyes and saw that the thing shaking me was the steel type Pokemon Mawile, who looked to be quite worried. "Rgh... w-where am I?" I asked again, the same exact words as I asked before, only this time to an actual listener. "You were unconscious on the beach, so I was quite worried," the Mawile said with worry. "Anyways, my name is Maxi, nice to meet you," the Mawile introduced herself.
I then got up and noticed something... odd. I was on all fours for some reason. "Wait a minute... why am I on all fours?" I asked as I walked over to the water to see what I now looked like. And what I saw shocked me awake the whole way. I looked like a white-colored Vulpix! "What the hell?! W-Why am I suddenly a Pokemon?!" I exclaimed loudly in shock. "Um... what are you talking about?" Maxi asked me. "I-I'm not supposed to be a white Vulpix! I'm a human, not a Pokemon!" I exclaimed as I covered my head from the fear.
"Wait... you say you were a human? Are you pulling my leg?" Maxi asked me. "Kind of hard to pull at a leg whenever I don't have any hands to work with," I frowned at her. "I'm not joking... but there's something else... I... I don't know why... but I can't remember anything except that I was human, my name being Trish, tons of pain, a nasty storm, and bright flashes of white light... anything before that is all a blur," I frowned as I shook my head. "Wow... it sounds like someone must've roughed you up a bit... you say you can't remember anything?" Maxi asked me. But then, out of nowhere, two Pokemon came from behind her and knocked Maxi onto the ground, a strange object falling out of her back mouth in the process.
"Whoops, sorry," said the one who pushed her, which was a mean-looking Zubat. "What was that for?!" Maxi angrily asked them. The Pokemon duo simply smiled at the object she dropped. "This is supposed to be yours, I take it?" the other Pokemon asked, him being a Koffing. "N-No! That's-" Maxi was about to say until I stood up and went in front of the object in question to defend it. "Wait... what the heck? A white-furred Vulpix? Whoa-ho-ho! What are you going to do, little wimp?" the Koffing laughed at me.
I tried to think of a way, any way, to use a Pokemon move that a Vulpix might know. I tried to use Ember, seeing that may be the best option... but when I breathed out an attack from my mouth, what came out wasn't fire... but a large flurry of a Powder Snow! And when it connected to Koffing, he immediately froze up and fell to the ground, making the Zubat, Maxi, and myself look stunned. "P-Powder Snow?! G-Get away from me!" Zubat exclaimed in fear as he broke his pal out of the ice with a tackle and they both ran away quickly.
"T-That was... amazing!" Maxi gawked at me. I smiled at her as I tried to think logically. I never knew or heard of a Vulpix that could use ice type attacks, but I had a feeling that this could come in handy. "Here. I had a hunch that those thugs would steal it from you," I said as I pushed the small rock thing over to Maxi. "I cannot thank you enough... this Relic Fragment... it's my most valued treasure," Maxi smiled. "What's so special about it?" I asked, wondering what the appeal was. "It may look like junk at first, but notice the inscription on it," she said as she turned it over for me to see. I then saw it and it looked... strangely familiar. "Hmm... it looks very unique, I must say," I said to her.
"I know... it's what I cherish most because I want to go on adventures as an explorer one day... seeing tons of sights, getting to meet tons of Pokemon, and finding lost treasure and hidden dungeons that no one has ever seen before... that's why I wanted to go to the local Guild to get proper training... but I'm a total coward... the biggest coward around these parts, in fact..." Maxi said. "Well, if you were such a coward, then why weren't you scared by me being a human?" I asked her. "W-Well... honestly, it just confused me that you'd say that... don't blame me, I totally believe you, given I've never seen an ice-type Vulpix in my entire life, but it just confuses me that you were by yourself on this beach and no one has ever seen you before. Those two also live nearby, and they looked shocked beyond all compare," Maxi frowned.
I smiled at her and shook my tail a bit. "Well, how about I join you?" I offered, Maxi's eyes going wide at that. "Y-You really mean it?" she asked. "Yeah... I mean, I've gotta start somewhere with getting my memory back. Maybe being on an exploration team may help me to get it back piece by piece. Besides, I have a hunch that this Relic Fragment of yours is very valuable... I somehow feel like I've seen the pattern on it before... maybe if we were to study it while we work, I may be able to recover my memory as well as help you find out what it's used for," I smiled, being absolutely truthful with everything I said. "T-Thank you, Trish! Let's go to the guild, then! It's down this path and up the hill," Maxi said to me. "Sounds like a plan," I smiled. But little did I know that this decision would be the best decision of my entire life...
