Hello everyone!
This is a brand-new story in a new area - Pokémon! Specifically, the Mystery Dungeon spinoff series of games.
Enjoy!

What is this place?
This sensation I'm feeling – what is that?
I feel like I'm moving… No, floating! I'm floating… but where? Where am I?
The consciousness of a human lingered in the precipice world. This had only happened once before, when times were harsh and the Pokémon world in danger. It had never happened since, and many generations of Pokémon had passed since that day. The human which had entered the Pokémon world previously was just a legend now.
It's almost as if my body is gone… I can't feel a thing, only the weight of all of these thoughts… Oh God, please, tell me I'm not dead. I can't be dead. I can't be…
"You are not dead."
The voice shocked the human's consciousness. In vain it searched the swirling vortex of blank space around it but nothing could be seen. It was empty, and nobody was there with it.
"Before you can enter the world of Pokémon-"
The world of what?
"-I am going to ask you some questions. Answer them as sincerely as you can. Are you ready?"
I suppose so…
"Very well. Let us begin!"
Sure…
"Are you a cheerful personality? Yes or no?"
Yes, I believe so… I am very happy most of the time…
"Are you often late for school or meetings? Yes or no?"
No, I'm never late! My mum always said I was going to be, but I never am, not ever…
"Do you like groan-inducing puns? Do you love them, do you like them a little bit or would you rather be spared?"
I'll take a little bit. Some are funny, but some are… Well, really, really annoying.
"Somebody calls you 'weird, but funny.' How does this make you feel? Happy or unhappy?"
Happy… I'm weird in a good way, and if I'm funny, that's always a positive!
"The road forks to the right and left. You are told there is a treasure on the right side. What do you do? Do you instantly go right, think that it's a trap and go left, or just choose either side indifferently?"
Choose indifferently… I'm not really too fussed about treasure and frankly I doubt that it would be a trap.
"Are there many things you would like to do? Yes or no?"
Loads of things. Yes, there's a heck of a lot I still want to achieve in my life!
"You broke a rotten egg in your room! What will you do? Do you open the window right away or first take a sniff of the stench?"
Open a window. I can't stand eggs. That said, that makes me wonder why I'd have a rotten one in my room…
"A human hand extends out of a toilet! What would you do? Would you scream and run, close the lid without speaking or reach out and shake the hand?"
I'd close the lid without a word. How would a hand get through the drainage pipes? And how on earth would it pop out of the toilet anyway? It couldn't get through the tubes if it still had the rest of a person attached, surely…
"Are you a boy or a girl?"
I'm female… Thankfully so, too. Boys are just… Well, not pleasant most of the time. The ones at my school are idiots…
"You appear to be… The brave type. You have a strong sense of justice. You hate evil. You will take on any opponent. You are truly a hero! Go forth! For justice… For peace on Earth… Fight the forces of evil! ... If I'm wrong… Work at becoming a true hero! A brave person like you should be…-"
What? What? Tell me already!
"-The Pokémon Charmander!"
That sounds kinda cool… I don't know what Pokémon are or what a Charmander is, but… Sure! I'm ready! Bring it on!
"This is the final step. Who would you like to have as your partner?"
My… Partner? Partner for what? What are you talking about?
"Choose the Pokémon you want as your partner from the following group; Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Pikachu, Chikorita, Totodile, Treecko or Mudkip!"
I… Well, I think I'll have Squirtle. It sounds like a tough name for a tough guy… Yeah, Squirtle.
"What is your partner's nickname?"
His nickname? Man, I even have to name him? I feel like a parent or something! Umm… Oh wait, I know! I'll call him Jet! Yeah! That sounds pretty cool. Definitely Jet.
"OK! We're all set now! Let's get you into the world of Pokémon! Go for it!
"H-h-hey! Wait a minute! What are you going to-
The human's consciousness slipped away from the precipice world and into one it had not yet seen; the world and domain of the creatures known as Pokémon.
