What? Cupcake, writing? She's gonna delete it in 3 days watch.
SHUT UP. I AM NOT! See, I've realized the reason I never finish my stories, is because I have nothing to base them off of. Sooooo… I have decided to base this entire story off of a playthrough of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. As I write, I will be playing the game, so it's always however it's played. If I faint in a dungeon, that will make its way into the story! See? SO I WILL FINISH THIS. PERIOD. DOT. SENTENCE. Without further ado… Here we go!
Prologue
Deep in the realm of Alba, two beings floated in the sea of midnight blue. A large white creature with dark red eyes, and a small blue kitten conversed, discussing the fate Esseri, one of the many dimensions.
"Mew… We cannot just-"the white creature was interrupted by the blue cat, known as Mew.
"Yes we can, and yes we will! If we don't all of Esseri will be destroyed, Arceus!" Mew argued.
"Mew! Listen to me! We will not bring a human from a one dimension and transport him into a completely different one! We don't know the consequences!"
Mew and Arceus. The two beings of creation. Arceus created the worlds, galaxies, dimensions, stars, and everything in between. Mew creating the beings, the animals in some dimensions, the humans in others, and the pokemon in almost all of them. The Creators, is what they were known as. No matter what dimension you lived in, you knew of the Creators. And currently, the Creators were arguing over the fate of Esseri, one of the millions of dimensions. But this dimension was in danger of being destroyed. And they had to save it.
"Fine! Let's not bring a human then, let's bring a pokemon," Mew smirked.
"Mew…" Arceus sighed, "The pokemon in other dimensions cannot be taken to Esseri. Their smarts rival those of a Farfetch'd's Leek. They wouldn't be able to communicate, let alone survive."
"I know!"
Arceus sighed again. He had no idea of the thoughts that ran through the little cat's mind.
"You never let me finish, dear friend," Mew smirked again.
"Fine then! Finish!"
"We won't take a human. We'll take a pokemon. A pokemon that was once a human," the she-cat finished with a flourish.
"What? Mew! We cannot do that! It may be a brilliant idea, but we cannot just choose any human!"
"Exactly, and I have someone who can help us. Follow me!" the blue Mew whisked off into Esseri, Arceus following reluctantly.
"This is Esseri's spirit world, why are we here?"
"Oh Arcy, lighten up! We're gonna need help from a spirit, obviously!" Mew cheered.
"Don't call me that," Arceus grumbled.
Mew giggled, before flying off, looking for someone. Who, Arceus had no idea.
Finally, the blue kitten came to a stop.
"This is it! Gardevoir! We're in need of your assistance!" Mew called.
A tall pokemon, wearing a flowing white dress and a pixie like haircut, poked her head out from behind a tree. This was Gardevoir. Her tale was a sad one, but she was the cheeriest pokemon you could find.
"Lady Mew! Lord Arceus!" The girl gasped, and fell into a bow.
Arceus gave a deep chuckle, "Please, rise Miss Gardevoir. Mew just wishes to have a word."
At the mention of her name, Mew gave a few twirls in the air.
"Of course!"
Mew and Gardevoir took off, leaving Arceus to his thoughts. His mind wandered down several paths at once, and soon enough, Mew and Gardevoir returned.
"Then it's settled!" Mew proclaimed.
"What?"
"Me and Gardevoir will enter the dreams of humans until we find a suitable one!"
"Gardevoir and I," Arceus corrected.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. You down?"
"This better work Mew…" Arceus sighed again.
"It will! Don't worry!" Mew gave him a thumbs up, before she and Gardevoir began floating to the dimension of Umano, where the humans lived peacefully with pokemon. Umano's Dream World, to be precise. Arceus just hoped whatever this was would work.
Dream World of Umano
"Are you sure this will work, Lady Mew?"
"Positive, my dear Gardevoir!" Mew giggled.
The two wandered in and out of dreams, judging the humans, and finding absolutely no one worthy.
Mew was seconds before giving up, before Gardevoir called out to her, "I think I found one!"
Mew immediately rushed over, and began to study the human's dream. The Dream Mist showed a young girl, about 200 moons (that's about 16 in human years), sitting in a field. She had black curls rolling down her back and deep brown eyes, like a vat of dark chocolate. She was pale, as if she spent a lot of time indoors, and her skin was like ivory.
But the reason Gardevoir had chosen this girl, was because she was surrounded by pokemon. There were Cyndaquil, and Espeon, and Raichu, and everything in between. She was laughing and squealing as she played, as if she never saw them.
Mew grinned ear-to-ear, before diving into the dream, Gardevoir following shortly after.
The dream pokemon began to scramble away as Mew and Gardevoir approached. The girl frowned, and looked up to see the two staring down at her.
"Creator! And… a Gardevoir? What- Why are you here?"
"Oh, don't be so frightened, silly! Now, what's your name?" Mew smiled amiably.
"M-my name? It's-"the girl was interrupted.
"I know, and so does Mew. She's just stalling," Gardevoir gave a pointed look at the kitten, who smiled innocently.
"The reason we're here is because the dimension of Esseri is in danger. And you need to save it."
"Wha- me?! I- I can't save a whole dimension!" the girl protested.
"And why not?" Mew pouted.
"I can't even walk! My leg bones were smashed to bits when I was 6! I haven't walked in 10 years!"
"And, your point is? We obviously aren't sending you as a human into a dimension full of pokemon!" Mew deadpanned.
"Wait, you're going to turn me into a pokemon?"
"Yes, child. If you're up to it, that is," Gardevoir said gently.
"I don't think I can do it…" the girl shook her head.
"Fine. We'll test you. If you pass, then you know you are ready, if you fail, we won't send you," Gardevoir countered.
"Alright…"
For the next few hours, Mew and Gardevoir shot rapid-fire questions at the girl, who answered as best as she could.
The last question was soon answered and the girl waited for Mew or Gardevoir that she wasn't good enough, she couldn't do it, maybe next time, just as everyone else in her life had. But she didn't expect Gardevoir to smile and Mew to joyously shout, "You passed! You're in!"
"Wait!" the girl called, just as Mew was getting ready to send her to Esseri.
"What's wrong?"
"Um… I have one question, and one condition," the girl said nervously.
"Oh? Speak up then," Gardevoir persuaded.
"What will happen to my physical body? You said you'd send my spirit into the body of a pokemon, but what about my human one?"
"Well… You'll basically fall into a coma of sorts. And who knows how long it will be before this job is finished, maybe a year, ten years, even I don't know…" Mew sighed.
"But, we'll make sure they don't pull the plug on the life sustaining machine," Gardevoir comforted.
The girl sighed in relief. She didn't want to disappear on her sickly little brother, her loving step-mother, and her amazing father.
"And… One more thing. When you send me, please remove my memories. Or make me forget. Everything. My family, my friends, and this conversation. Everything but my name. I don't want to try and save the world with all this on my mind…"
"Deal," Gardevoir smiled. She placed her hand on the girl's head, and closed her eyes, focusing on the girl's mind.
The girl collapsed as her memory drained and Mew instantly took her spirit, placing it into the body of a pokemon, who she then sent to Esseri.
"I just hope this works…" Gardevoir sighed.
For once, Mew's happy-go-lucky attitude had vanished.
"Me too…" she whispered.
Esseri
It's so warm… And wow! That breeze feels amazing! Haaa… I could stay- huh? Is that a voice? What are they saying?
A small Chikorita blinked open her bright red eyes, and stared right into the face of a Totodile.
"Hey! You're awake!" the Totodile smiled.
"Eep! Talking pokemon!" the Chikorita squealed.
"Huh?" the Totodile blinked, "You are too!"
"What are you talking about? I'm a human!" the Chikorita glared.
"Human? Haha, that's hilarious!" the Totodile giggled.
"No, really! I am!"
"Have you taken a look at yourself lately?" the Totodile deadpanned.
Chikorita blinked again, before turning around to find a green, tiny body. She lifted her hands, and instead found stout little paws. And she shrieked.
"Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod what do I do ohmygod!"
"Where are you from?"
"I… don't know…"
"Do you remember anything?"
"I don't think so…" Chikorita sighed.
"Well, you could start with your name. Mine is Lyon. What about you?" the Totodile grinned, showing off his sharp teeth.
"Huh?" Chikorita blinked again. "My name?"
"Noooo, your cousin's uncle's brother's trainer's fish's name!"
"Well… My name… I think… It's Ru."
