This story is based off the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue/Red team. I'm going to use some character and settings from these games but I'm not copying the plot or anything. So if you haven't played the games you can still read this, they'll be no spoilers in this.
Alright now that I have that out of the way please enjoy and don't forget to slap that favorite button.
The glint of the blazing sun, the rich, loamy smell of spring engulf me. Something or someone embraces me smothering me with warmth and love. In this embrace I feel comfort. There's someone here, its holding me. I look up to see who it is but all I see is a blurry green.
"Why don't you sleep?" A voice whispers to me.
A puff of tiredness overcomes me and I begin to loom to the land of unconscious. I should sleep I've worked hard, I deserve it.
As I drift off I whisper to the mysterious being "I love you".
"H-hey! Please wake up"
Where am I?
"Please wake up, I need to know your alright"
I open my eyes a little, but quickly close them. It's too bright and light irrigated my eyes.I tried again, slowly this time, to open my eyes. I was met with a blurry shades of green and yellow. It takes awhile for my vision to focus. I saw that standing above me was a young cyndaquail, his eyes shined with worry.
"Ugh, where am I?"
"You're in Tiny Woods, I was picking berries when I stumbled upon your unconscious body. You scared me half to death."
Tiny woods? I don't remember coming here.
I closed my eyes and began to concentrate trying to think of the last place I was at, but no how hard I thought I couldn't remember. In fact I couldn't remember anything: my friends, my family, where I was from, where I'd been; all vanished from my memory. All I could really think of is my name, Erin. I reached up to rub my now sore head when I felt something that wasn't right.
My head didn't feel right, it was hard and smooth. I moved my hand down my face and found that it felt the same. I looked behind the cyndaquail and saw a small puddle and I began to walk towards it.
"Hey, what's the matter? Where are you going?" the cyndaquail asked but I barely heard him. I was too busy starring at my reflection in disbelief.
"I'm a Cubone!" I cried out.
Wait why is this shocking to me wasn't I always a Cubone. I can't even remember what creature I was prior to waking up.
The cyndaquail let out nervous laugh "Uh, yeah your a cubone. Is something wrong?"
Despite not remembering there was a feeling deep inside, telling me that I wasn't always a cubone.
"This may sound strange" I began to explain to the cyndaquail "But I can't remember anything, everything from my life is...gone." My voice started to crack and I felt panic rise in my guts as I voiced my problems "I have this feeling that I wasn't always a cubone".
The cyndaquail started at me, quizzically. He examined me for a while before finally saying "Well for one, of course you weren't always a cubone. No Pokemon is born a cubone".
"huh?"
"All cubone are originally kangaskhan. There's a very old tradition in where when a kangaskhan baby mother dies it takes the mother skull and becomes a cubone. Most kangaskans do this for two reasons. One, since a mother kangaskhan is typically share a close bond with their children, taking the skull is like a sign of respect for the decreased mother. Two, if a baby kangaskan no longer has the protection of its mother it's probably going to die so it becomes a cubone in order to protect itself."
I listen to him closely and intently. For some reason this story sounds familiar. Perhaps I was once a kangaskhan and had to do the same thing, but I'm not sure.
"As for the lose memory, the only explanation I have is you were affected by the natural dilemmas that have been happening recently"
I want to ask him so many things but I know this cyndaquail doesn't have the answers I want. So the biggest question I have in my head now is: what now? Where am I going to go? What am I going to do?
"Urh" the cydanquail says to fill the silence that I hadn't notice was there. "Well, listen cubone, I am not sure what has happen to you but don't panic I'm here to help you.
I looked at him shocked, how'd he know I was panicking.
He smiled as if he somehow heard that too "I'm Leo by the way".
"Oh, I'm E-erin" I say, unsure of myself. I won't be surprised if that wasn't my name.
"Erin now that's a weird name for a cubone" Leo joked.
"Oh yea, you're the one to ta-" my sentence was interrupted by a high pitched screech.
"Help!" an unfamiliar voice called.
Leo immediately ran toward the shout, as he was half way through the clearing he turned back to me.
"Come on Erin someone in trouble".
Not sure what else to do I ran after Leo. The two of us ran through the woods as fast as our legs could carry us. Somehow I was able to keep pace with Leo and finally after avoiding bushes and leaping over boulders we found the Pokemon that gave out the cry for help. It was a full-grown Luxio, behind her was a terrified small shinx. The two were backed up against a cliff. Three golem were approaching them slowly.
"Listen lady we already told you, just give us the poke and we'll leave you alone" one of the golems said.
"I don't have it" The Luxio growled, then used Thunder on the golem who just spoken to her. But, of course, it didn't affect him.
"Oh, your in for it now" the golems all growled.
Intrinsically I ran toward the golem as the bone in my hand started to glow. When I got close I hit him the back making him yelp in surprise then fall to the ground. Bone club the name echoed in my head. Leo wasn't far behind, he struck the second golem with a leer to lower his defense. The golem cried out the curled up a unleashed a roll out attack, but he was big clumsy, me and Leo easily dodged the attack. Once he uncurled I hit right below his head with another bone club, he fainted immediately. When we turned to the third golem he was already running away like a coward.
"Wow, you guys are amazing!" the little shinx cried out.
"Thank you two so much, things might have gotten ugly if it wasn't for you" the luxio.
I looked at Leo, who was slightly blushing and rubbing the back of his head "Oh, it was nothing"
"Nothing! You guys are the most amazing Pokemon I've every seen!" the shinx exclaimed.
The Luxio giggled slightly "Oh yes you two are very amazing. I'd thank properly but I said to those golems I have no money. But here have this." She reached into her bag and pulled out a blue berry. She dropped it into Leo's arms.
"Wow, an oran berry" Leo said then examined the berry.
The luxio nodded then picked up the over excited shinx by the scruff. With once last flick of her tail, the luxio walked away with the shinx in tow.
"I glad we were here to help her" Leo stated then looked down at the oran berry. After staring at it for awhile his light up as if he'd gotten an idea.
"Hey, Erin you got nowhere to go right?"
I nodded.
"I have a place for you to go if you listen to my offer"
"Offer?"
"Yea, you see ever since I was little, I've wanted to start my very own rescue team. Rescuing pokemon is in my blood, my father was a famous rescuer and I've always wanted to be one too. Unfortunately, I have been having problems with recruiting. A team needs at least two Pokemon to start-up. So would you Erin join my team?"
I looked done at my feet reluctantly. A few minutes ago I woke up as a cubone with no memory of my life. Now I was just asked by a guy I just met to join a team. I knew it was a huge commitment to join a team. I won't be able to go and try to look for answers to my life if I had to work for a team, but what else could I do?
"Y-you don't have to, you know" Leo said sounding disappointed.
I'm not sure if it was the adrenaline from the battle, the fuzzy feeling I got when luxio thanked us, or just feeling the energy radiating from Leo, but I enjoyed that rescue and I won't mind doing it for the rest of my life.
"No I want to join your team"
Leo gave out the biggest, most brightest smile "Ok, let me take you to the base.
So, you like? If you did please review, I love feedback good or bad.
Also, if you didn't notice, I am going to be using uncannon logic in this story. Like the kangaskhan turning into a cubone theory. I hope you don't mind and see you next chapter.
