Tittle: Before the Dawn
References… First of all, the war that is mentioned in the story is the war that had happened in the Pokémon Movie Lucario and the mystery of Mew when Lucario sensed two armies about to clash at Cameron Palace in Kanto. There is a couple more reference's to the characters in the movie.
Author's Note/Disclaimer… I decide to make this because I played all the games of Pokémon mystery dungeon series, and found that none really explained what happened before you became a Pokémon. So, I decided to write one on Pokémon mystery dungeon: Explorers of Sky (My favorite *O*) I don't own the Mystery Dungeon games, nor the main characters, and places/themes. The only thing that can be considered mine is my character and her family and the occasional place or character I decided to add to make it more interesting. (Oh! aaaand this is a prologue, the main story is after this, soooo yha…. I'm new here so I'm not quite sure how this works, but I hope you like it!)
Summary: Ever wonder how Grovyle and the Hero meet? What if the Hero was a girl born in the world of Pokémon? Maybe her life wasn't as easy as you'd imagine, there was no sun, the wind never blows; and life isn't as easy as you'd expect.

Prologue
The Guild of the feature is made up of many strong, intelligent Pokémon; varying from size to size, the Guild has evolved from that small home for wanted explorers; from only accepting jobs, and bringing in the occasional criminal. To leading a small resistance against Primal Dialga and his followers. But it's not just your average Pokémon Guild anymore, they take in young Pokémon that have lost their parents to unkown cause's, or are abandoned and even if their just lost, they will be molded into strong worriers to help protect and guide other Pokémon. That is the Guild of the feature. Through the hundreds of years that passed since time froze, the Pokémon have grown more timed, naughty or hostile towards each other, now some new changes are about to begin…
'Run! she thought 'Run dammit! I can't stop I wont!' she mentally encouraged herself,
"Give up!" the Pokemon growled snapping her from her thoughts, "You wont make it! its a 1% chance!" it stated, 'No.' I thought and voiced my next thoughts,
"I wont give up! It's 1%! Then there's still a chance!" I spoke looking back, only to gasp and prepared to jump from the blazing fire that was sure to consume me...
Ten years prier to the inevitable feature... two humans found their way into the world of the Pokémon…running from what was there past and into the feature...
For the woman the landscape was very beautiful, large towering trees, enveloped their surroundings. Yet...yet even when trying to focus on the scenery, it escaped her vision swaying from top to bottom left to right. She groaned, and stopped her walking in order to kneel on the ground. As she knelt her companion began to notice the lack of the crunch crunch of frozen leaves, and had also stopped walking. He turned to face her, and once he had done so he noticed that she had not only stopped but was kneeling on the ground; a ghostly pale white. Worried something was wrong he rushed to her side and crouched by her, he asked in a worried tone stroking her cheeks with his hand,
"Are you ok sweetie!?" The man tried to pull her to her feet, only to hear the woman hiss in pain, her breaths coming in short huffs.
"I-I'm fine…just, just-ah! Aaaaa-ow, huff…huff...huff, th-the baby… I…I think, she's coming…quicker then expected…" she stopped to take in some unsteady breath's,
"The baby!?" he panicked "Al- already!? Bu-but-how?" the man was so frustrated with himself so much; he began to pace back and forth. The woman marveled at him on how he worried himself about her; even in the bleakest of situations.
Here they were in some unfamiliar place away from any so far-known-to-us civilization. And he was worried about me. She thought it soooo sweet! She watched him pass back and forth; she now worried he was going to pace himself into a hole in the ground with all his back and forth movements. She had been so busy worrying about him that she failed to tell him that his pacing was leading him straight into a tre- too late... he walked straight to it and… Wack! he crashed. Right into the trunk of the oversized tree.
"Ow!" He yelped in shook, the force he hit the tree with sending him half a foot away and onto the ground. "Ah!" he exclaimed from his collapsed position on the ground. Getting up too quickly he knocked his head on a branch, that had previously been broken and now fell on him; hitting him twice. The woman chuckled to herself, it was sure was an interesting day….
The man grumbled to himself slightly; this was not his day! As he sat there on the ground the branch leaning against him, something had sprouted inside his head. 'It wasn't a bad idea…' he thought. Getting up slowly this time (as to avoid more bonks to the head,) he rushed to his companion's side and offered his hand to her.
The woman looking at the outstretched hand, and seemed to think slightly before waving it off and straightening herself out slightly. She then looked at him questioningly,
"Honey you ok? Did you get hurt?...or maybe you sprouted an idea?" she smirked, with a hopeful glint in her eyes most would not have noticed,
"Yup!" he smiled down at her, "It's a good one too! Here, here." He motioned to her, and this time taking her hand. "Look, umm…" he momentarily thought. "Ah, right! I ah…almost forgot for a few seconds…." He chuckled nervously "Anyways…come here!" He smiled and brought her to the tree he had previously walked into and sat her down. 'The giant tree seems to have more color with her under it' the man thought, my beautiful wife; I don't regret a single moment I've spent with her,' he thought to himself proudly. The tree's leaves sounded as if they played sad music in the clearing, for no wind blew, and it was still ever so dark the only light were those of the strange floating lights. His wife had begun noticing he was just standing there (and staring….) decided to wake him up with a little stone…The Head Process is what she liked to think it's called. As she picked up the stone (that was rather large…) she began to aim for the head when suddenly...he dashed off in the opposite direction before she had even the slightest chance to so much as throw it.
"Oh you! Come back here!" the woman laughed, "I wanted to give you a little present!"
"No way! Uh-uh" he shook his head as he got further away, "last time I waited a stone hit my head!"
"Oh poo," the woman pouted, "Meanie! It wasn't that biiiiig!" she called after him.
"Wasn't that big!?...well yha…maybe…it wasn't THAT big…-but the paaain!" he wined, "Oooooooh~ the excruciating pain!~" he laughed,
"Oh stop being such a baby that's this one's job." She smiled as she patted her stomach.
"Oh, oooh!~" He wiggled around, looking much like a noodle, "All right… but don't move! I'll be right back!" he called as he ran and disappeared into the forest, "And don't moooove!" He repeated; as he ran to the trees, the last word bouncing between the tree trunks creating an echo.
"OK!" she yelled, 'oh Mother Nature, please take care of my husband…' she silently added.
~Meanwhile~
'I've got to get help! I've got to! My wife and baby are counting on me!' he thought, 'my Miranda! Oh how happy we are, if only I knew where we are now…this place has no people or Pokémon, and the colors are very dim, why is that I wonder? Dose this place not have any people? Oh what did I gate myself and Miranda into this time? I remember how happy we where when peace was throughout the kingdom, I had met my beautiful wife in a ball Lady Eileen had organized. I had been busy talking with my friend Sir Aaron (who was sensitive to the aura around and inside of us…) when he wasn't with Lady Eileen or his friend Lucario out training and honing their skills, I was with him. He often gave me pointers on how aura worked, (which I use to practice at home…) Unlike him I'm terrible at that kind of thing occasionally if I try hard enough I'll sense something, or like a Pokémon (which surprised me,) I'll be able to make a very small ball of aura. Though I loved practicing and being with my friends, my mother always bugged me into at least finding a girlfriend…'Stop pressuring me into finding a girlfriend!' I always wanted to say, but as always she was usually of right... Though I loved my family most men my age already either A) Had a girlfriend B) where married or C) couldn't because of a VERY good reason, and I had non of those…
So naturally, I went to Aaron for help; as most people I've met say "Why waste such good looks on no one?" I supposedly look really good, my hair is a natural navy blue, and is straight yet wavy, it goes a little higher then my shoulders but below my ears. My eyes a golden yellow, and as a kid growing up I used to work with my father and his body guard training protecting the young Lady Eileen. So, I grew up being fit, and my wardrobe is like all the noblemen's clothes, but more adventure-like. When I was going for Aaron's advice I had to go behind the castle since it's more probable to find him in his training grounds then anywhere else...
~Flashback~
I was running late, very late. The previous day, I had asked Aaron to help me in my very obvious "problem." And now look! Late, what was one of those codes? …Oh! Right "Never be late to a meeting you yourself plan!" my father used to say. As I was turning the corner of the castle, I saw the most beautiful woman ever; her glamorous purple hair flowed through the wind like the water in the ocean. She was sitting on this flat rock using a leaf whistle (a truly rare gift,) her music resonated with the Pokémon and forest around her, I can swear to this day that even the Tree of Beginning glowed with life. She must have noticed someone there, because she instantly turned to look in my direction only seconds after I saw her stunning beauty and beautifully with the music. Though it didn't go as most would say, "love at first sight." Once she saw someone was there; she up and left, just like that. As she walked over, she passed me, and went to go to wherever she had decided to. Of course I still went to look for Aaron, who was by the training grounds,(as I had thought…) and like most would; I told him about her. He listened as he rested while Lucario trained on his own, once I was done; he laughed, stood up, and told me,
"Good luck my friend," he put his hand on my shoulder and finished with "I'll help with what I can but, just so you know, many a man have tried to get her to notice them, but each and every one so far a failed. It just seems she has no interest." He shrugged and walked back to his training. I didn't want to believe it, his words were never false, but he was wise so I didn't try to pursue her, you could say I had given up.
~End Flashback~
But as strange as it was, during the ball, I met her once more, and that's where it did start; most know how that goes afterword's; a trip here, and a fall there, and next thing you know, you're on the balcony and stories are exchanged flowed by comfort and a kiss. And that's how it went, so many where envious the guy's of me and the woman for her. It was perfect. We spent three years together and then finally my wife got pregnant, only a few days before we suspected she was going to give birth, Sir Aaron and Lucario, through their perception of aura, had found out that two armies where going to clash and it would be devastating. So my wife and I fled. Little did we know that there were more legendary's in the world than meets the eye. We had run into a legendary I later came to recognize as Polkia, the being of space. Some way or another we where captured or teleported by that Pokémon. Sighing the man thought 'and now here we are thirty-nine weeks pregnant and it looks like my child's coming, I'm so proud! But I can't find anyone to help…' Stopping his long jog after leaving his wife in the clearing, the man decided to stop and rest. He had stopped in a smaller clearing only enough for around 5 people at the most. The trees still looked gray and there was still no breeze. 'Ugh; I'm truly useless in these kinds of situations…' he thought to himself as he sat down on a flat rock, 'If only I could find some sort of help…' SNAP! 'What?' he thought,
"Who's there!?" The man stud up and graved the nearest object to him…a poll like stick. After a short almost unnoticeable pause, he saw a shadow in the thick trees in front of him. Only mere seconds after he saw the shadow, three more joined the other.
"This isn't good…" he muttered to himself, as he prepared to attack…
Authors Note- HA! HA! Cliffhanger! First! Tell me how this is!

Should I continue it? This is only my second story and it should be long…Oh! And any mention of religion shouldn't offend anyone! If it does then just say so in the comments and I'll try and fix it! Thank you and R&R! .
