"ow, my head…" Sans groaned. Salt water splashed his face and he spat it out as he sat up. He rubbed his skull as he opened his eyes. "wh-where am I?" He picked up a bone club as he looked around. Red and white crabs about his size were blowing bubbles into the sunset. He drew his eyes over to the ocean horizon and his breath caught.
It was more beautiful than when he left Mt. Ebott and saw the sunset for the first time. The bubbles caught the light and created small spheres of rainbows floating. He didn't have time to think about it as a blue bat with no feet or eyes flew past him, with a light blue scarf in its mouth. "COME BACK!" Sans hear a voice and saw a gray dinosaur with blue accents around 2' 11" running after it. He tripped as a large purple ball with toxic gasses blew something into the dinosaur's face.
"Woah-ho-ho! Too bad! Looks like that personal treasure is ours!" He floated off after the blue bat into a cave.
Sans looked over to the cave, then back to the dinosaur. He went over and helped it up. "TH-THANK YOU!" The dinosaur greeted. And stood up next to him. Judging from the difference, Sans guessed he must be 1' 4." But dealing with himself being in an AU would have to wait, Sans needed answers to gain info that didn't seem farfetched before looking for Frisk.
"why were you chasin' those guys?"
"OH! YOU SEE, THEY TOOK MY TWO TREASURES! A SCARF MY BROTHER GAVE ME, AND A SPECIAL THING THAT IS VERY DEAR TO MY HEART! BUT THEY'RE SO MEAN…I DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK!" The dinosaur sniveled.
"hey, hey, calm down." Sans soothed. "i'll help ya get it back."
"REALLY!?" The dinosaur's eyes sparkled.
"sure." Sans confirmed. perhaps this thing will help me learn about this world… he thought to himself as the 2 followed the bat and gaseous ball into the cave.
Sans was confused as the 2 were put into a room with no cave entrance near them. "this is weird," he though aloud.
"YEAH, THIS IS SCARY!" The dinosaur agreed.
Sans shook his head before moving along.
A creature that was like a shell and tongue suddenly attacked the 2! It licked Sans, causing him to freeze up. The dinosaur's head glowed blue and charged into the creature, causing it to run away. More creatures started to appear, like a living, pink coral reef that shot itself at the 2, and a blue slug that barfed up mud.
It took 5 floors, but they soon met up with the bat and ball. "Woah-ho-ho! Look at this Zubat!" The ball laughed.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the great chicken?" The blue bat dubbed, Zubat, cackled. "You think you can stop Koffing and I?"
"koffing?" Sans questioned. "gee, could you be more unoriginal?" With that, he threw his bone club and it boomeranged, hitting the 2 creatures one time each. "now, hand over this kid's items and nobody gets hurt."
"No Way!" Koffing chuckled.
"i don't think you heard me…give us the items… ."
Zubat and Koffing growled. "You'll learn not to mess with us! We're ⅔ of Team Skull, and we're not afraid of wimps like you!"
A fight ensued. The small dinosaur went immediately to hitting "Koffing" with his glowing blue headbutt, which took down a large enough portion of HP to KO him. Sans on the other hand, was using his bone and rocks to aim for "Zubat" eventually knocking him down by hurting his wing and kicking him across the floor.
"Erk!" Koffing managed.
"Oof…" Zubat moaned.
"Hey, don't think you've won!" Koffing glared.
"Your victory was a fluke!" Zubat dashed out of there with Koffing following. They had left the 2 treasures behind.
The dinosaur felt relieved, and suddenly, Sans and the dinosaur were teleported out of there. Carrying the 2 things. "THANK YOU!" he nodded.
"no problem."
"YOU SEE, I WANTED TO GET THESE THINGS BACK SO BADLY, BUT EVERY ONE JUST LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I GREETED THEM. I JUST WANTED TO GET MY ITEMS BACK…"
"you know, i never got your name. what is it?"
"MY NAME? I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS! MY QUEST IS TO FIND MY BROTHER, WHO GAVE ME THIS SCARF, AND SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF MY RUNE STONE!"
"p-paps…?" Sans asked, freezing up.
"WAIT…THAT'S WHAT MY BROTHER CALLS ME!"
"it's me, sans!"
The 2 embraced like brothers and looked over each other. "OH MY GOD! WHAT EVEN ARE YOU?"
"not entirly sure. i woke up and saw you gettin' bullied. what the heck are you bro?"
"I DON'T KNOW I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS STUFF! I KNOW YOU STUDIED THE MULTI-VERSE THEORY, BUT I NEVER KNEW IT WAS TRUE!"
"is there any place we can go?"
"WELL, SOMETHING CALLED 'CHANSEY,' TOLD ME SOMETHING ABOUT A GREAT PLACE TO START!"
The 2 brothers waited in front of a building with steel gates that looked like some sort of cuddly mammal. "THIS IS THE PLACE!" Papyrus announced. "IT'S CALLED 'WIGGLYTUFF'S GUILD! IT TRAINS PEOPLE TO BECOME THE BEST EXPLORERES!" Papyrus began to explore it before looking at the thing in the middle of the clear path. "SANS, WHAT IS THIS? IT LOOKS LIKE A GRATE?" Papyrus asked as he stepped onto the hole in front of the Guild.
"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!" A feminin voice from below the grate shouted. "Who's footprint? Who's footprint? The footprint is Cranidos's! The footprint is Cranidos's! Hey, you've got a friend with you? Make sure they get on the grate to!"
Sans stepped onto the grate yawning as the pokemon announced what he was. "The footprint is Cubone's! The footprint is Cubone's!"
"You may ENTER!" Sans and Papyrus obeyed and went down the hatch. They glanced around, only to have a bird with a music note for a head approach them.
"Hello." He greeted them. "Welcome to Wigglytuff's Guild. Home of the world famous Team Fannon!"
"TEAM FANNON?" Papyrus questioned.
The bird seemed flustered. "You don't know about Team Fannon!? Well, no matter. I'm Chatot. What are you here for?"
Sans took the reigns. "what's the big deal about this place and rescue teams?" He inquired.
"Oh, we're known to train the best of the best for Rescue Teams!" Chatot sang.
"TRAINING!" Papyrus jumped up. "I WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS!"
"Oh, well well well! Let's get you signed up! Follow me!" Chatot weaved through the other Pokemon and Sans and Papyrus followed him to a lone room. There, in a large chair, sat the Pokemon that looked like the building. "Guildmaster Wigglytuff, we have new recruits!"
The Pokemon stayed silent. "Zzz…Zzz…Snorffle…Zzz…" His eyes were still wide open.
"this is someone i could learn from." Sans chuckled.
"SANS NO!" Papyrus stamped.
"Guildmaster!" Chatot shouted.
"Hiya!" Wigglytuff greeted.
"Guildmaster, these are new recruits! They want to form a Rescue Team!"
"Alright, all we need is your team name and you'll be signed up!" Wigglytuff smiled.
"OUR TEAM NAME!?" Papyrus fretted.
"it's team bone bros." Sans chuckled.
"Team Bone Bros. Got it! Here's your starters kit." Wigglytuff smiled as he set the kit down. "There's a wonderful thing called a Wonder Map. A pouch to keep all your things in, and Explorer Badges! Keep them safe!"
"You'll also be staying with us!" Chatot mused and showed the 2 to their new room.
Man are the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Chapters long…but don't worry, this will have similarities to the game, and differences as well. Just wait, cause Team Bone Bros will be solving mysteries! And working to explore brand new places! Helping others! And meeting a brand new Explorer Team called "Team: _" Each chapter, a new letter will be added, or, we can Hangman this thing and have y'all guess!
