A/n: Ah yes, pokemon mystery dungeon, truly the isekai of the pokemon world. Welp, I haven't uploaded in forever bc reasons, but I started listening to a theme from explorers of sky and I was inspired. So without further ado, here's the prologue. Enjoy!

Who are you?

..

.I see.

.Why are you here?

..Everybody comes here for a reason.

This place…. is the realm of time.

Everybody, no matter how much they think it childish or stupid, has a dream, an ambition, a hope, a desire, that they hold dear to their hearts. They keep it stored there from the moment it's conceived to the moment they pass from reality. They pass on to the afterlife; and the dream, whether achieved, remembered, or simply forgotten, comes here to rest.

Can you hear them echoing?

These dreams, adrift from time, both eternal and nonexistent, are the only things that keep me company here.

I get quite lonely, you know.

..A story?

I see. So that is your desire.

Very well then. If it is a story you wish for, then a story you shall get.

Allow me to tell you a story.

This is a story about two people so different from each other that you would think it would be impossible for them to even meet, let alone become the greatest pair of friends and lovers that they blossomed into. One a coward, the other barely able to remember his name. One outgoing, the other mysterious. One a Pokémon, the other a human.

This is the story of how those two Pokémon came over impossible odds, defeated countless enemies, and eventually saved the world.

This a story about friendship, love, loss, happiness, and one of the strongest bonds that have ever been formed.

This is the story about adventure, daring, danger, and triumph.

This…is the story of Shine and Vera.

Are you ready?

Then let's begin!
