Yes, I'm writing ANOTHER Mystery Dungeon fic. This is not related to any other of my stories at all.

Chapter 1

Karen was a completely normal 11 year old girl. Her weight and figure were normal. She had normal short and straight brown hair , and her eyes were a bright normal blue. Her face was also dotted with normal freckles. She had normal parents and a normal little brother and sister. She also had a normal dog and cat. She went to a normal public school and she had a few normal friends. Her life was normal, nothing that special. It was so normal that it was boring. She wished that something strange would happen, like an alien invasion or a zombie apocalypse. She never imagined something strange would ever happen until that day. That day was the day her world turned upside down.

It started as all normal days did. Karen was woken up by her little sister, Amanda. She got dressed in a pink shirt with a butterfly on it and a matching skirt. She had breakfast with her family, and then she played with the dog, Spot, and the cat, Mittens. She got ready for school and walked the short distance to her school soon after.

"Hey, Karen! Want to play baseball at recess?" A classmate, Jake, asked during lunch. Karen declined because she had played with the same classmate and her friends for four days straight. She wanted to do something different for once. He was persistent and asked her to play until she said yes just to get him to be quiet so she could eat her lunch in peace.

When recess finally came, Karen played baseball with her friends. She used to love to play baseball when she was little because she watched games with her dad. When she got older, she got bored of it because she got interested in other things. She had plenty of experience from playing it when she was little, so she was pretty good at it.

She almost got a home run this time, but she hit it so hard that she knocked out a strange bird that just happened to be flying by. After the game, she went to the place the bird landed in. She recognized it right away as the Pokemon known as Murkrow. She didn't play the Pokemon games, but her little brother did. She watched him play often, and he caught a Murkrow while she was watching one time. The Murkrow woke up as she picked it up. It looked at her for a few seconds, and then it pecked her in the head and flew away. She couldn't help but stare as it flew away. Soon after, recess was over and Karen went back to class.

"Karen, do you want to come to my place after school?" A friend asked her after class was finally over. Karen declined as she ran ahead of him and out of the school's doors. As she was walking home, she saw the same Murkrow from earlier.

"Hey, Murkrow, are you lost?" She said nicely. She never expected it to talk back to her. Pokemon never talked in her little brother's games.

"I'm not lost, you idiot human! I'm just waiting for my team to find me, no thanks to you." It said. It turned its back to her.

"Your... team?" She said, a little surprised. Just then, a black space appeared on the sidewalk below her. She jumped backwards to avoid it.

"Murkrow, where are you?" A ghostly voice came from the black space on the sidewalk. A Mismagius came from the black space on the sidewalk. Karen was surprised and a little scared at the same time. She had never seen a Pokemon like it.

"L-lady Mismagius!" Murkrow shouted, surprised. He seemed to know Mismagius from somewhere. It seemed that Mismagius was a part of the team Murkrow was talking about.

"There you are! Flirting with that human, are you?" Mismagius joked. Murkrow took this as an offense and shouted at her.

"Hell no! I don't like this stupid human! She knocked me out of the sky with a ball!" He pointed to Karen while saying this. Mismagius laughed at him.

"Yeah right," She said sarcastically, "Let's get back to the rest of the team," She paused and looked at Karen, who was still there, "Hey, that girl, she looks familiar..."

"What is it, Lady Mismagius?" Murkrow asked. Mismagius whispered something in his ear. Murkrow smiled and held up his wing, which started glowing. "Can I?" He asked.

"Just don't kill her. The boss will want her alive. I'll go get Honchkrow, so don't go anywhere," Mismagius said as she sunk back into the sidewalk. Karen knew where this was going, but she couldn't move. She was too scared.

"Take this! Wing attack!" Murkrow flew into the air and at Karen. His glowing wing hit her in the arm and made a large cut that started bleeding. Karen screamed in pain. Murkrow flew to her other arm, but Karen narrowly dodged it. After barely dodging a few more attacks to her uncut arm, she was knocked over by Honchkrow, who had flown by her feet while she wasn't looking. The poor girl tried to get up, but she always fell back down because she couldn't put weight on her right leg.

"Sorry kid, but you need to come with us," Honchkrow started moving towards Karen, but he was hit with a charged beam of electricity.

"Team Psychic! What are you doing here?" Mismagius looked at a pair of Pokemon on the roof of a house. They were an Espeon and a Gardevoir. Gardevoir's hands were smoking a little.

"We were in the neighborhood," Espeon sounded bored, "What are you doing? Hurting an innocent bystander? I'm afraid we're going to have to take you down, again." Espeon and Gardevoir jumped off the roof and onto the ground. Espeon fought with Mismagius while Gardevoir moved Karen out of the way so she wouldn't get hit with any of their attacks.

"Are you okay?" Gardevoir asked. She was a little worried about the cut on Karen's arm and grabbed some bandages out of the bag she was holding and wrapped it around her arm to stop the bleeding.

"Thanks," Karen was obviously in pain. By this time, Espeon had already defeated Mismagius. She scoffed at the defeated Pokemon and said some words.

"How pitiful." She walked away and went to where Gardevoir and Karen were, and took a small look at her. "I guess this is the human they attacked, am I right?" Espeon always had the same bitter, emotionless tone in her voice.

"Yes, It appears that they broke her leg and also made a cut in her arm. I stopped the bleeding with a bandage," She said to her teammate.

"My name is Karen, thank you for saving me," She said to Espeon and Gardevoir. Espeon ignored her.

"Come on, let's get back to our world," Espeon walked away.

"What about Karen! We can't just leave her here! Team Dusk is bound to come back!" Gardevoir shouted. Espeon was too far away to hear her. "Karen, come with me. I'll help you walk." They went to where Espeon was. There was a small portal behind her.

"Gardevoir, you idiot! This human can cause mass hysteria just by her very presence! There's nothing we can do about that," Espeon shouted.

"What's wrong with her! She's just a little girl for pete's sake!" Gardevoir shouted back. Karen thought it was best not to speak at the moment. Espeon whispered something in Gardevoir's ear. "That would cause mass hysteria. Oh! I have a solution!" Gardevoir quietly told Espeon what she was thinking.

"You're nuts, but it could work," Espeon turned to Karen, "Karen, can you come with us?" Karen nodded and then they all leaped into a small portal.

They landed in a small dome shaped house with one floor. There were two "beds" and that was about it. "Where are we anyway?" Karen asked.

"We are in the world where Pokemon live. Things haven't been great lately here though..." Gardevoir told her.

"What's going on?" Karen asked. She didn't know anything about this world, except for the fact that Pokemon live in it.

"There's a virus going around as of recent. It's a horrible virus. It makes Pokemon have hallucinations that drive them insane. Those Pokemon often kill innocent Pokemon, and eventually they kill themselves," Gardevoir looked at Karen, " The most common hallucination is of a girl who looks just like you, so if anyone sees you, they'll think they have the virus and go crazy until they actually get the virus. That's why we need to turn you into a Pokemon. It'll be risky, but Espeon and I would do anything to avoid a crisis."

"Am I going to lose my memory from this?" Karen asked. Gardevoir only nodded. "Okay, if it's to avoid a huge crisis, I'll turn into a Pokemon. One more thing, if you can control what Pokemon I turn into, can I be a Vulpix?"

"Okay, I'll try to turn you into a Pokemon. Now hold still," Espeon said. The gem on her forehead started glowing, and there was a bright flash of light, and then Karen was gone.

A few miles away, there was an old building. In it were many books about the history of the Pokemon world. A Shinx, Spark, was looking through one of these books. He wasn't reading the words, he was just looking at the pictures. Spark didn't know how to read anything. After he was done, he walked out and found an unconscious female Vulpix right outside the building. He took it home because young Pokemon like him and the Vulpix could get seriously hurt or even killed at nighttime.

The next morning, while Spark went to gather apples and berries, the Vulpix woke up. She looked around her. She was in a dome shaped one floored house that was in need of serious repair. The walls were painted yellow, but nobody could easily tell that because most of the paint had chipped off. On the walls were pictures of two Luxray and five Luxio. She was on a "bed," and next to her was an empty basket with a paper attached to it. The paper had scribbles on it that were meant to be words.

"Hey, you're awake, Vulpix!" Spark came in with a bag full of food.

"V-Vulpix? I'm not a Vulpix! I'm a human!" She shouted.

"Well, you look like a normal Vulpix to me," Spark said, "Take a look in this mirror and see for yourself." He handed her a mirror that was in his bag.

"I-I really am a Vulpix! But I used to be a human, and I can't remember anything from when I was a human... What's going on?" Vulpix shouted.

"Vulpix..." Spark sighed. He wanted to make her feel better, but he couldn't think of what to say.

"Don't call me Vulpix! Call me Blaze okay?" That name was the first thing she could think of because she didn't know her real one.

"It's nice to meet you, Blaze. My name is Spark," He introduced himself. He noticed that Blaze was looking at a picture of two Luxray cuddling together. She asked who they were. "Those two? They're my mom and dad..." He didn't seem as happy as before.

"Where are they?" She asked. Spark decided to lie about where they were.

"They're on a big exploration... Yeah! A big exploration! Now can we change the subject? Like, where should you stay? You can stay at my place, if you want," He perked up again.

"But we've only known each other for five minutes, are you sure this is really a good idea?" She asked.

"It's a great idea! I need the company anyway! I am living alone here, you know," Spark smiled.

"Fine, but don't try anything funny! If you do, I'm leaving!" She pouted. That night, she and Spark were sleeping. Suddenly, they were woken up by some banging on the door.

"Oh, no... Not again! Blaze, you need to hide!" Spark got a dark cloak from under the food basket and threw it over her. His fur started to glow. The door burst open and a Zubat came into the house.

"Okay, kid, give me your food! If you don't, I'll destroy you!" The Zubat demanded. Spark did nothing but reluctantly give his food away to Zubat.

"Thanks, kid!" Zubat flew out the door. Blaze got out from the cloak and questioned him.

"Why did you do that? That demand wasn't even threatening! I could make a better demand in my sleep!" She yelled at him.

"I did try to fight Zubat once, but he was too strong and I got hurt. I did what I did because I didn't want to get hurt again," He responded.

"Well, if you won't fight, I will. I'll get your food back no matter what it takes! I'm going to follow that Zubat. You can come with me if you want!" Blaze ran off in Zubat's direction. Spark ran after her.

"Blaze come back! It's too dangerous! Blaze, are you even listening to me?" Spark shouted. Blaze turned around, and looked at Spark.

"So, you decided to come after all. That's really brave of you, Spark." She said. Spark got a little angry at this.

"I didn't want to come with you! I wanted to warn you! It's dangerous out there, Blaze! You see that cave ahead of you?" Spark pointed to a dark cave ahead of them.

"Yeah, I was about to go into it. Why are you asking?" Blaze shrugged.

"That cave is known as a mystery dungeon! It's a strange place. First, it's different every time you go in! Also, if you get defeated you lose half your items and money! Most of all, it's super dangerous!" Spark explained with fear in his voice. He was obviously afraid of those places. Blaze went in anyway. "Hey! Were you even listening?" He ran in after her.

Black Cave B1F

When Blaze and Spark got into the dungeon, they were immediately attacked by a Grimer.

"Ember!" She called out the name of an attack. Small fireballs shot out of her mouth and hit the Grimer.

"Spark! Let's go!" Spark tackled the Grimer and knocked it out. Blaze was surprised he didn't run away. He was a coward, after all. They walked a little and found an Oran berry. Spark explained that eating it would heal injuries. They walked a little more and found the stairs

Skipping to the bottom...

After a few floors of exploring, they found Zubat at the deepest part of the dungeon.

"There you are, Zubat! Give back Spark's food!" Blaze shouted.

"What if I don't? Will you pound me into the ground for your little coward of a friend?" He remarked. Spark was enraged by this and decided to speak.

"I'm not a coward! I'm going to defeat you to show it!" Spark was not kidding at all.

"Oh really! Let me see you try!" Zubat taunted Spark. Spark came at Zubat with a Spark attack, which hit him. It was super effective, so Zubat was barely hanging on.

"Ok, Blaze, I'll let you finish him off!" Spark said.

"Okay! Extrasensory!" A rainbow beam shot out thorough her eyes and hit Zubat, knocking him out. Spark quickly gathered the food that Zubat hadn't eaten and went out of the dungeon.

"Hey, Spark, why did Zubat steal your food?" Blaze asked once they were out.

"He was an outlaw. Outlaws are Pokemon wanted by the police. A long time ago, they were just wanted for stealing, but recently they've been wanted for much more than that. They say it's because of a virus that's been going around that makes Pokemon go insane. Now they're wanted for setting houses on fire, kidnappings, killing other Pokemon," Spark went thorough a laundry list of what outlaws are wanted for, "exploration teams take down these outlaws and turn them into the police. I want to form one with you, is that okay?" Spark asked.

"Yes, but only if you tell me about this virus," She said.

"Okay, as I said before, it makes Pokemon go insane. The first symtoms of the virus are hallucinations, most commonly of a girl with short brown hair and blue eyes. Almost everybody in the town I live in has lost a loved one from it. It's a horrible virus," Spark had a few tears in his eyes. Blaze saw this and thought he lost his family from it. "Let's not talk about this anymore, ok!" Blaze nodded and then they went home.

The next day, Spark showed Blaze around the town. It was a beautiful town with plenty of flowers and grass. Among the shops there were the Luxray link shop, the Machamp Dojo, a Kecleon shop, and a Kangaskan storage.

"And this is the Blissey day care, the Pokemon that runs this place helped raise me when I was younger," Spark showed her a building that looked like a Blissey, "Blissey! Its Spark! I brought a friend!" A Blissey came out of the building.

"Spark! I didn't know you had such a cute girlfriend! How long have you known each other?" She asked. Spark blushed a little and took a few steps away from Blaze. "Oh, come on! You know you like her!"

"Actually, I'm not his girlfriend," Blaze said while blushing.

"Oh, sorry. I must have embarrassed you, Spark. Well, I have to get back to work now. Take care you two!" Blissey went back inside the day care. Blaze and Spark went home after that.

"Blaze, we need to think of a name for our team, what will it be?" Spark was filling out a exploration team application form.

"How about Team Berry?" Blaze suggested. Spark agreed with her and filled out the rest of the form, and then he sent it out in the mail. That night, Blaze decided to walk around the town by herself. The town seemed lonely at night with nobody but her there. Multiple lights illuminated the floor of the town. She walked until she came to the old building that Spark was in two days ago. She went in and started reading a book when she heard a voice behind her.

"What's a girl as cute as you doing here at this hour? You could get hurt," Blaze turned around and saw a Sneasel. Was this guy an outlaw or an innocent Pokemon who just happened to be there?

So, what did you think? I'm still an amateur, so I need a lot of help! Please review!
