Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Shadow Mind

by Pikirbyio

Kiku doesn't remember much, except that he is fourteen, male, and used to be human. Now as a Riolu in a world of talking Pokémon, he is faced with mysteries that he cannot solve alone. Along with Pikachu, he forms an Exploration Team in hopes of recovering his memory back and answer the major question that haunts him... Did he kill someone? On Hiatus until further notice... Sorry!

1. Chapter 1: Lost Memories

Darkness. That is all I can remember... Darkness and the faint smell of blood. A gunshot sounds close, and the smell of blood becomes stronger. What happened...did I...kill someone? The thoughts rushed into my head in a tidal wave. Where am I...What was I doing...What is my name... Who am I?!

Something snapped in my mind. My age and name and Gender. Kiku Ushiwa, age 14. I am definitely sure I am human, and a male. Something else came into my mind. Waka, I think it is a person's name. Waka...Waka...Waka... Why does that name seem so familiar. I tried to remember, but whenever I did I got a headache. I felt my thoughts drift away as I began to hear sound.

"Are you alright? Wake Up" A male voice said. I began to hear the wind. Slowly I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry at first, but eventually I could make out that I was in a forest. A Pikachu looked down at me with a concerned look on his face.

"Thank goodness you woke up" He said. At first I thought I had to be dreaming. But that wasn't the case. A Pikachu was actually talking to me. I was quick to be on my feet.

"A-A-A talking Pokémon!?" I yelled in shock. The Pikachu looked at me like I was insane.

"Well considering you are a talking Pokémon as well, I don't see how it is much of a surprise" he said.

"I'm not a Pokémon! I'm a Human!" I yelled. That's when I noticed something. Despite me standing perfectly upright on both feet, Pikachu was about my size, if not a little smaller. I looked down at my hands. I didn't have any, instead I had blue paws. I looked down at the rest of me to find a shocking discovery... I was a Riolu.

"This isn't happening...This isn't happening..." I said over and over to myself. I know I was human, I can remember that clearly. But that couldn't explain how I turned into a Pokémon, and got transported to a world where Pokémon talk. The Pikachu grabbed my arm.

"Dude! What is wrong with you?" He asked in a concerned tone.

"I don't know... I can't remember" I said. My head began throbbing as I had a painful headache.

"Amnesia! What can you remember?" Pikachu had me sit back down as I clutched my head.

"My name is Kiku, and last I remember, I was a fourteen year old human male. I also can remember... darkness... blood... and a gunshot..." I said slowly. Why do I remember those things so clearly. The thought crossed my mind again...Did I kill someone...
