This is first time I am writing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fanfic. This story is inspired from many other anime. But mostly it is from another PMD fic The Ebonor Edda Book 1: Mantle of Bones by 16Doobop13. Thanks 16Doobop13.
Chapter 1: A New Generation
In year 1607 a strange artifact known as "Life orb" was discovered in continent of Eudrox. This mysterious artifact has power to resurrect any pokemon from dead. Three nations Trallanea the small northern nation mostly covered in Tundra. Dalonton a central nation mostly covered in Dessert. And Fepusa the largest southern nation mostly covered in Rainforest. These three nations fought for possession of life orb. On the west of continent lays Arlingcona Island. This Island was rich in natural resources. During the war this Island suffered the most. As the continent stole all the resource and turned it into waste land. The war continued over years. A Celebi shattered the orb into nine pieces and scattered it on different part of Eudrox. Sacrificing herself in process. The war stopped and new generation came with new ideology. The continent was restored. They came into mutual understanding and united themselves. But somewhere a dark force is gathering all nine shard.
Fepusa Nation, Olisberg Village, 23rd March Year 1668
Olisberg is the capital of Fepusa nation on south-west coast lays Olisberg village. In which a young male Riolu named Shiruku at age of 19 was training in backyard.
"Pick up the pace Shiruku" a male Lucario said.
"I am doing my best Takuma sensei" He replied as he punched the target dummy.
"It's not enough" Takuma said. Takuma is Shiruku's teacher. He is very strict when it comes to training.
Around a corner a Male Machop and female Meditite comes.
"Hey Reina, look it's the slowpoke training with dummy." Chihiro the Machop looked at Meditite while pointing at Shiruku. "I wonder who is dumb the dummy or other dummy."
"Chihiro stop it sensei is here" Reina the female Meditite stopped him.
Shiruku glared at him "Say that again you show off".
"You got a hearing problem?" Chihiro mocked him more.
"Why? You" They both started bickering more. Takuma closed his eyes and sighed saying "here we go again".
"That's enough you two. Now since you two act like you are better than each other. How about you two go against me? I will be your opponent. You two have to work together to get any chance of success." Takuma said to make them get along each other.
"Make sure you don't mess this up" Chihiro said with smug smile.
"You make sure you keep up with me" Shiruku repied.
"Alright three two one go!" on Takuma's ordered they both charged at their sensei.
Shiruku goes for quick attack. Chihiro performs low swep. Just in time Takuma jumps out of the way. The low kick hits Shiruku and he falls. Reina giggles.
"Hey watch where you attacking at" Shiruku yelled. "Not my problem you came in the way." Chihiro replied as they glared at each other. Takuma takes opportunity to hit them both on head.
"Focus you are in middle of fight. Your enemies will use this opportunity to strike you. Strategies your teamwork and quiet bickering among yourselves." Takuma said with serious tone. "Now then start again"
"Chihiro I have a plan but just this once I am working with you." Shiruku whispered his plans in Chihiro's ears. Both of them exchanged a nod.
Chihiro charges towards his sensei and performs low sweep. Takuma jumps over it. Chihiro gives a smug smile as Shiruku jumps and prepares to use force palm. Takuma quickly uses bone rush to block and he is send back with a broken bone. The bone rush disappears.
"I see the low kick was just decoy while the real attack was force palm." Reina continued. "They may pretend to hate each other but they work well when they are serious."
"Chihiro?" Shiruku asked to which Chihiro nodded. Both of them charges towards their sensei. While keeping safe distance. Not to end up hitting each other. Both performs Force palm and karate chop. Takuma grab their hands and stop their attack.
"Well done both of you. Now take some rest." Takuma pated them on head. Both of them grinned at each other.
Fepusa Nation, Olisberg Village, 24th March, Year 1668
At midnight Shiruku woke up. He tried to sleep again but couldn't. So he decided to take a walk and drink water. As he exited the room he saw Takuma sitting outside gazing at stars. Shiruku approached him.
"Couldn't get sleep?" He asked. Takuma looked at him then again at stars.
"I was suppose to ask you that." He replied.
"I couldn't sleep so-"
"It's alright I know. Come take a seat" Takuma pats near to him. Shiruku seats beside him.
"It's about your wife and son isn't it?" He asked. Takuma's eyes widened. "Sorry I know it's none of my business but you miss them don't you".
"Yes I do and you must also miss your parents. The war for life orb has caused many deaths. Many innocent gets dragged into cross fire. Pokemon become orphans, widows. I fear the history might repeat. But it's up to new generation to put stop on it. When my wife and son died I couldn't continue the fight anymore. As a soldier I have killed countless soldiers. Then I meet you three. You three have given me new purpose to live. To teach young generation not to make the same mistake as old generation."
"Shiruku you actually remind me of my son." Takuma looks at him. Shiruku was silently sobbing.
"Thank you sensei for looking after us I miss my mother and parents."
"Now now go drink water and go to sleep" Takuma said. Shiruku wipes tears from his eyes and nods.
Fepusa Nation, Olisberg Village, 24th March, Year 1668
At morning Takuma was pacing in backyard looking up in sky as if waiting for someone. Reina noticed him and gave worried look.
"Sensei are you waiting for someone?" She asked.
"No it's just delivery Pidgeotto" he replied still walking back and forth.
"Is it something important?" She asked.
"I can't say it's classified" He replied. "Besides I don't want to drag you into this"
"You can tell it to us sensei" Chihiro said as he came around the corner with Shikuru.
"Well I was going to tell you someday might as well be today. Now listen you three I will only repeat it once. You have to promise that you will keep this secret."
Reina gulped "sensei you are scarring me"
"The parcel contains one of the nine shards of life orb." Takuma said. The three of them gasped.
"What life-" Reina stomps Chihiro on leg for talking loudly. "Ouch why you did that for" He yelled at her.
"Keep your voice low we don't want whole village to know" Reina gave her death stare.
"Sorry" Chihiro apologized.
"As I was saying" Takuma continued. "My old friend Amai found it while he was treasure hunting. He immediately recognized that it is life orb shard. He said that he can't protect it and hiding might get more risky. So I said I will take responsibility to protect it. Plus no one will suspect it to be in a village."
"Then why not just crush it into many pieces." Shiruku suggested.
"It won't work a common pokemon won't be able to even make a scratch. Remember it cost Celebi her life to break it. She used too much power it cost her life."
"Now then your mission is simple rescue the Pidgeotto, secure the life shard. The shard is hidden in iron ingot remember that." Takuma said
Fepusa Nation, Olisberg Village outskirts, 24th March, Year 1668
"The Pidgeotto must have taken straight route from Vlinrora city to Olisberg village." Takuma pulls out Eudorox map.
"Here is Vlinrora city to the east from here." Points to the map and continues. "If we draw a line from Vlinrora city to Olisberg village. The Pidgeotto must have been somewhere in central Olisberg forest. It's just rescue mission and if you encounter enemy avoid unnecessary fights."
The three of them nods.
"Now Reina what supplies have you took?" He asked.
"Some Oran Berry, Pecha Berry and some Cheri Berry" Reina looked into her bag.
"This is your first mission without me. Shiruku I am putting you in charge. Anyone have problem?" Takuma asked. "No sir" they replied.
"Alright now good luck" Takuma smiled. The three students headed for Olisberg forest.
Well that's it for now hope you like it.
