Hello readers, and welcome to the first side story, featuring Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! The side stories that do not include Summer as the main character will be written in the third person and be significantly shorter compared to the main stories. They will also not have recaps/previews or Pokémon descriptions to make the stories more fluid. If people don't like these changes, I may consider revising the chapters. Now, enjoy the story, featuring Samir Patajhad! :)
Prologue
Three years ago, a boy mysteriously woke up as a Pokémon. Although it was tough, especially being able to talk to and understand Pokémon, he was able to participate in a rescue team, along with another Pokémon. Through many trials and difficulties, the boy realized why he became a Pokémon in the first place: to save their world from a falling meteor. After he and his partner were able to persuade the Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza to destroy the asteroid, the boy had to make a choice: either to return to his world or remain in the Pokémon world. Three years later, his decision would almost destroy the Pokémon world again…
Dr. Mustard paced around the room, brushing his thinning blonde hair with his hands.
I'm running out of time! My greatest treasure… Will it be gone forever?!
A knock on his office door interrupted his thoughts. "Dr. Mustard, may I come in?"
The doctor hid his sorrow and cleared his throat. "Yes, come in, Ms. Fennel."
Fennel carefully opened the door and walked inside. Her long black hair brushed against her hands. "You wanted to see me, professor?"
"Oh, yes. Were you able to find a test subject for our experiment?"
She looked at him sadly. "No… I wasn't able to get anyone from the university to help. But I have a suggestion."
His head perked up. "Please go right ahead with your suggestion, Ms. Fennel."
Her face immediately brightened. "Well, why don't I find something outside the university? I'll use the waiver and everything."
Dr. Mustard then stroked his yellow mustache. "Very well, I will speak to the university. Go ahead and find someone!"
Fennel was able to squeal but she maintained her composure. "Right, professor. I won't let you down."
She calmly walked out into the hallway, but once she left, she immediately dashed off.
The doctor thought to himself. Yes, Ms. Fennel… Find someone worthy. Soon, the fruits of my research will finally bear fruit, and my treasure will be recovered!
