Pokemon mystery dungeon: Genmu's journey
Well this is my third story, I should be finishing up The Warrior soon, and I had an idea, I had drawn this ginjika version of absol, my favorite pokemon btw, and thought I might make a story around it. If you like it good for you, of you don't good for you too. Anyway the OC is named Genmu, it means phantasm in Japanese I believe and a phantasm has something to do with ones imagination, and if you woke up as a pokemon would you believer your imagining everything? A bit of a self-insert, kinda. Oh and the plot will have nothing or very little to do with the mystery dungeon games. Anyway onward to the story after this quick message.
Moveset for Genmu:
Slash
Swords dance
Pursuit
Psycho cut
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon (if I did Ash would have started with an shiny eevee or shiny dratini), I just own the OC and story itself.

(Genmu POV)
... *swish*
... *splash*
... Uh ... what happened. Why am I at a beach. I remember playing my ds before I went to sleep. I guess I should tell you guys that I'm a casual gamer that basically has no life, a majority of my 'friends' are AI. But I digress, anyways I get up and look around, there is a forest behind me with trees that have these familiar blue fruit on them, where have I seen those before, and in front of me there is the ocean. The sunset being reflected in the water looks beautiful. I noticed I had this white cloak with a fur collar that felt very soft and comfortable around my neck. I scratched the back of my head thinking on how I got this. Then I felt some hard piece on the side of my head. Thinking the worst I ran towards the water to see my reflection and figure out what is this thing that has latched onto my head.
"The fuck is this !" I yelled as I see that my black hair was snow-white and a large bit of it was covering my left eye, how was I seeing clearly I will never know, and there was a black streak on it and on the right side of my head there was a scythe like horn protruding from my head. I then noticed that my eyes were red as opposed to the hazel that it is normally. Ok, I have to calm down ... why in the world do I look like an absol! That's not calm at all. I got out of the water and followed the shore. I examined my clothing, white pants with a black inner streak, with a strap so something must be attached, white shirt with two stripes on my sides and a white cloak with a white fur collar.
"Gods where am I ... is anyone out here!?" I yelled off hoping to get a reply.
"What's my name anyway, how do I forget that ... ugh this is like a weird dream, that would be ironic if this was just my imagination... a phantasm of my life. That's it my name will be Genmu, the phantasm of the dream I wish to have!"
Along the way I spot something buried in the sand, I dig it up and what I find is a black sword, the hilt of the blade was black with white grip. It had a curved edge, no hand guard and the opposite edge of the blade had a pointed tip. It resemble the tail of an absol so I guess this was meant for me. What intrigued me the most was this black gem that was at the bottom of the hilt.
I found the sheathe to the blade nearby and I strapped it to my waist, the cloak seemed to hide it perfectly.
(Time skip 10 minutes)
After some searching I found some berries that I assumed were oran berries because they were blue. I felt like someone was watching me for awhile now, yet I can't pinpoint where. I had this uncomfortable feeling in my head like something was about to happen. Then suddenly ...
"Jump!" I said as I jumped to the right and just barely dodged a fire ball. Out of the bushes came a woman, she had black hair and two silver horns that curled back. She wore a black dress that had three spine like protrusions on either side of her, she also wore a black and red under short and black pants. She had silver wrist bands and her nails were sharpened to claws.
"Well look what what we have here, and absol has wandered into my territory ... why are you here?" She growled at me
"Shoot first ask questions later I see, well if you need to know I woke up awhile back with little recollection of who I am, I don't even remember my real name." I said to the huntress. She seemed to calm down and lower her guard. But then she tensed, I felt the same headache.
"Well I must kill you now, a woman's got to eat" and with that she attacked. She leaped at me and I rolled under her attack and I drew out the blade. Uh ... how do I do this, yea I know there is swish-swish-stab, but what moves do I know. The names came to me as if I had practiced them for years.
"Swords dance!" I said as I swiftly moved the blade and swung it in different directions, the movements seemed to be in one fluid motion. The edge of the blade seemed to be sharpening with each movement.
"Ah ... You seem more skilled that you look." She said then she disappeared.
... I turned around hoping to find where she was.
"Faint attack!" I heard behind me and I felt searing pain as claws racked at be my back. God damn that hurt.
"Shit that ripped my cloak, where am I gonna get a new one" I said ignoring the pain. I jumped forward and turned around, facing her. I decided to eat one of the berries to see if they were oran berries, and they were. I felt a little better after eating two.
"Pursuit!" I said and dashed forward with speeds I never knew I had, I stabbed but she dodged it.
"Slash!" I yelled and slashed in a upward-diagonal arc, cutting her shoulder and her dress. Her dress began to fall, I closed my eyes, what I'm not a perv ... what were you expecting? (I actually would have reacted the same way)
"What are you doing?" I hear her say.
"What ... I'm not a perv and your dress looked like it was about to fall" I quickly said.
"You let you guard down" I hear, honestly I should have seen that coming and I felt a knock on my head and blanked out.
(3rd POV)
The houndoom woman was looking over the fainted absol.
"The idiot. Well prey is prey" she was about to execute a kill blow, but was interrupted.
"Focus Blast!" A figure yelled, sending a ball of energy rushing into the houndoom, knocking her out.
"The one who senses disaster has appeared, this is a bad omen indeed, I must take him back to town and figure out what to do with him" the figure said coming out of the brush, it's red hair standing out in the green forest.
The figure picked Genmu up and threw him over its shoulder and began walking deeper into the forest.
