Blue sky greets my eyes as I force them open, letting out a moan as I roll onto my stomach before pushing myself to my feet. Stumbling slightly as wave of pain ripples my sleek, black frame, I collapse back into the sandy turf, eyes fluttering closed once more.
A bright, pink shape flies, silhouetted against the white clouds of midafternoon. It passes over the beach, turning and backtracking when it realizes that it passed by a shape unfamiliar to it lying on the wet sand. The pink can-like creature lowered itself to the sand by the black dog, staring at it in curiosity as its flank rose and fell unevenly, blinking the wide blue eyes adorning its face when the Umbreon stirred with a groan.
"Are you alright?" I let out a yell as I scramble away from a pair of sky coloured eyes, gasping as my feet slip into cool saltwater.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" the pink cat stammers holding up her- wait. What?
My eyes widen as I study the Mew, realization dawning in my mind as the pieces click.
"Are you Mew?" I ask, ignoring the problem of the fact that I was a pokemon also.
"Yes! But, you can call me Rosie," she (for the Mew is a girl) chirps, flying in a loop before hovering in front of me again.
"Well, Rosie, I seem to be in a predicament- I'm not supposed to be an Umbreon!" I bark the last part and the psychic-type blinks her entrancing eyes in surprise.
"But you look just like an Umbreon, how can you not be one?" she questions naively, making me sigh in frustration.
"Yes, I am an Umbreon now, but I didn't used to be. Do you know why I am an Umbreon?"
"Um…." she taps her chin in thought, making me raise my ears in hopefulness. "-Nope!" I almost fall over at her abrupt answer and lower my head in thoughtfulness.
"What's your name?" It takes a moment for me to figure out that she had asked me a question, and another minute to recall what my name was.
"Nicholas, call me Nico."
"Well, Nico, while we try and figure out why you're a pokemon, do you wanna form an exploration team with me?" Rosie offers and, after a second of thought, I nod.
"Sure, why not?"
"Great!" she squeals, turning another loop in the air before offering her paw to me.
"Welcome to Termina, partner!"
A/N: Alright for procrastination! Have a Mystery Dungeon one-shot while I neglect my other story, because I'm just that mean to you all! Anyway, meet Nico and Rosie, a grumpy Umbreon and an overexcited Mew! The name for their world is, yes, based off of Termina from Majora's Mask- how original I am. Hope you enjoyed, have a good day!
