In the depths of a cave… in some unknown location near the dead coast… lies an unconscious Cyndaquil, a Cyndaquil that is ignorant of the role he is to play in the history of the Skann region. I am Cresselia, Ruler of the Moon, and Goddess of the Dream Realm, I am the reason he is here, and he shall do my bidding, Arceus be with you, young one.

The sound of water dripping echoed throughout the cavern. I smelled salt for some reason. I began to stir, but something felt… off, I opened my eyes, and couldn't see a thing, I looked around, didn't see anything, and tried to stand up. I immediately fell down, I couldn't stand up, my body weight has shifted. I tried again, with no success, it felt like my body weight was concentrated entirely in the front, and strangely enough, I felt… smaller. I tried to stand up again, this time, succeeding, third time's the charm, I guess. Okay, I was definitely shorter, I began to breathe heavily, and I felt a strange warmth inside me, and then suddenly, I felt a sneeze coming, it was a big one, that's for sure, "Ah-Ah-ACHOOOO!" Flames shot out of my back, mouth, and nose as I sneezed, and I freaked out. But I saw my surroundings for a split second, so I tried to make flame again. It took a few tries, but a few grunts later the flame shot out of my back and I could see.

I looked around for a few seconds, but then sat down, wondering what I was doing here. And then I remembered- I used to be a human. I didn't know what to do, so I did what any logical person or pokemon would do, I cried. I cried for a few minutes, I don't know why I cried, I didn't even remember anything about my human life. After a few minutes I stopped crying, hunger and thirst became too strong, so I used the light from the flame on my back to find a way out, after a minute, I found a small opening in the rocks, I climbed to the hole and squeezed through, only to find more tiny caverns with more rocks, "Great, just great," I complained. I dropped down into the next cavern to land in a pile of mud, "Eww" I said in disgust. But I trudged through the mud until the path opened up to a huge cavern, with multiple paths to go down, but more importantly, a huge hole with orange light shining through across from me. I began to cross the huge cavern while admiring its grand scenery, until I heard something, rocks moving. And then I heard a loud thud, and then what sounded like voices. I was scared half to death, and ran towards the exit, I quickly climbed through and for the first time, saw the sun. I must've seen the sun before, in my human life, but nothing can compare to how grateful I was to see something so familiar. I just sat there for a moment, watching the setting sun, I forget all about how I was hungry and thirsty, all that mattered right now was the setting sun, the first object of beauty I've seen in my new life.

But the sun had just set, I hadn't realized it yet, but traveling at night is dangerous, but staying in one place like a free sample for cannibalistic pokemon is not safe either, I had to brave the night all alone, but maybe I wasn't really alone, after all, there's the moon. Ah yes, the moon, the opposite of the sun, while her brother shines bright for all to see, she prefers to only give a little light, how selfish, she keeps all the light for herself instead of sharing it with everybody like the sun! But just as quickly as I got angry at it, I forgave the moon. I stared at the moon some more, is the moon really my friend? I asked myself.

"I am your guide and your goddess" I said, though he could not hear. "Remember my name, Cresselia, for I am the closest thing to a 'friend' you will ever have in this world" I sighed, looking down at him staring up at me, "Arceus be with you child"

AN: Hello readers. If you read the title closely you would see that this story is called 'Pokemon Dungeon' not 'Pokemon Mystery Dungeon' This is because this story is very similar to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon stories and games, and also inspired by Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, I find that there is enough of a difference between the mystery dungeon formula and this story, for one, the protagonist will get his human memories back, and will eventually do the direct bidding of a legendary Pokemon, so I find them to be different enough. Also, please review, I don't really write much so I need any advice that could be offered, thanks!
