WARNING: THIS STORY WILL POSSIBLY INCLUDE DEATH, VIOLENCE AND PROFANITIES.
Please do not use any of my Original Characters. Thanks!
This was inspired by Anhyo's story, 'Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-Legendary Genesis'.
This is loosely set in the world of the 4th-Generation P.M.D. games, but there will be some differences.
There will also be GTS 'events' that I will do, where you can download some of the characters to your Pokémon Black/White/Black 2/White 2' game.
The creature charged towards them...
He sat up bolt upright. At first, he was relieved that the incident was naught but a little dream. He blinked a couple of times, but all he could see was some sort of a peculiar environment, shrouded in a blurred veil. Wherever he was, it definitely wasn't home. He blinked a few more times to clear his vision. His surroundings were comprised mostly of autumn leaves- every shade of red and gold, lying in messy piles underneath bare trees. He moved his back a little; he felt something soft and squelchy underneath him, and his nostrils picked up the most vile of scents he'd ever smelt in his life. Whilst he told himself it was mud, he knew exactly what it was he was lying in. Where was he?
He stretched his arms and lazily got to his feet. However, he felt something else on his backside- something that hadn't always been there. He turned his head to notice a reddish tail, with a burning flame on the tip.
"AGH!"
Aidan dropped back into the manure in surprise, splashing it all over his body. He immediately dragged himself out of it, rolling around in the grass to clean it off. He kept seeting accidentally setting fire to the grass, so he stamped on each of the little flames to extinguish them, leaving many patches of singed grass. He decided to explore himself a little more. He placed his hand to his face; he had three claws. His mouth no longer looked like the mouth he was used to, but more like a dragon's snout. He could feel something digging into his tongue. He never remembered having teeth so razor-sharp.
What the hell is going on?
His eyes slid down to his feet, each of which now had three pointy claws extruding from them. He looked everywhere to find someone else, someone who would be sure to know exactly where he was. He cupped his mouth with his paws.
"Hello? Is anyone there? Do you know where I am?" Then followed his most important question. "Can you help me find my way home?"
"I can."
Aidan's head swivelled. The voice came from a large gap in the trees, and a zangoose leapt out. He wandered up to Aidan on all fours, rearing onto his hind legs once he got close enough. He extracted his claws, making the metallic sound of knives clashing.
"But, first of all, have ya seen any of them Seviper around here, Charmeleon?" the zangoose asked. "They have been causing trouble again, you see."
Aidan stood perfectly still, completely confounded.
"Zangoose don't talk," he said to himself under his breath.
"Uhh…what're ya talking about? Are ya crazy or somethin'? Of course we talk!" Zangoose chuckled.
"No,they don't! Of course zangoose don't talk! They're pokémon! Why are you talking to me? Am I hallucinating? Am I dreaming?" Having absolutely no idea what on Earth was going on, he began to panic even more. His tail flame flickered. "No! Stay away from me, okay? I don't want any-"
Zangoose powerfully punched the charmeleon into a tree. He rushed over, held him against the trunk and placed one of his claws up to his neck. Aidan felt some sort of a vibration in the side of his head from where it hit the tree bark with such force.
"Now...you're gonna tell me if you've seen any of them seviper…or else," he hissed, losing the little patience he seemed to have had in the first place.
Aidan took a deep breath. "Or what?" he asked, unaware of the fact that his words could have been taken as a threat rather than a confused utterance.
"Or I'll slice yer freakin' neck, that's what!"
As frightened as he was by the giant cat-like creature, he took a deep breath. Panicking wouldn't get him any help. "Nope. Haven't seen them. You're the first person-um, pokémon, that I've seen all day, actually."
The zangoose collapsed to the floor in fits of laughter. "Oh, come on! I know that this place is too populated for you neva to see anyone in a day. Sometimes, I wish it was quieter here too. Anyway, if ya must know, you're in Oran Forest. Me and my group are goin' around lookin' for them seviper. We're gonna slice 'em, dice 'em and eat 'em. They're always up to trouble. Be wary of 'em, ya hear?"
The zangoose grabbed Aidan by the horn on his head, and pointed to thick scars hidden amongst the red stripes on his fur.
"Them seviper did this to me, ya know. Don't let 'em do it to you, too! It's their fault that my papa is sleeping with the magikarp, you see. I ain't gonna let 'em get away with anything."
"Yeah, I understand what you mean…" said Aidan solemnly. "Why do you hate those seviper so much, anyway?"
"It's natural for us to hate the seviper. That's how it's been for ages. But, now we got another reason to hate 'em! They've been causing the curse, I know it! They're little troublemakers, them seviper!" His anger quickly subsided, and he lay a paw on Aidan's shoulder. "Anyway, where are ya from, buddy?"
Aidan tilted his head sideways, baffled by the zangoose's sudden mood swings. "Hoenn..."
"Hmm...I haven't heard of that before. Well,maybe I'll see ya around sometime. And remember to-"
"Watch out for the seviper?"
"Exactly," hissed the zangoose. "And get rid of that wierd delusion that you're 'human'. It ain't healthy to think you're something that you ain't."
The zangoose ran back into the gap in the trees. Despite his irritation that the creature spent more time lecturing him about seviper than he did trying to help him out, Aidan decided that the only thing he could do at this present time was have a look around and familiarise himself with his new surroundings.
