Chapter 1: Awakening

(Note: First off, I would like to say that in this game I may be teaching moves at low levels or moves that can only be learned through the use of TMs. This is because I cannot find a site where they show the Pokémon move list for the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Second if there is a website that shows you what moves each Pokémon learns by level can you Pm me. Third, I don't know if I will continue this and depending on the reviews, views, and visitors I receive, I will, or will not, continue it.)

"Hey, wake up!" shouted a voice above me.
I opened my eyes and got up. I yawned a little and I got to my feet. My body ached, from the tip of my nose to the other tip of my tail.
"What, are you?" asked the same voice behind me.
I turned around to face a tall feminine Riolu standing there. She looked a little afraid of me as she twitched uncomfortably.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You don't seem to be from around these parts…" She said, taking a step back.
"What are you talking about?" I asked her.
"I mean, I've never seen your race of Pokémon before." The Riolu said suspiciously.
"What do you mean…" I asked.
"What do 'you' mean, I have never met your Pokémon race before…" she said.
"I'm…" I said, trying to figure out who, or what, I was. "I'm…"
"You're what," she asked me, taking a step back.
"Umm… Excuse me, at the moment I can't remember…" I said, my eyes widening as I tried to remember.
"Are you okay?" asked the Riolu.
"I'm sure, I'll remember…" I said, raking my mind for any information. Then I asked myself, where am I from?
I had no answer then I asked myself, who am I?
There was still no answer
"Are you okay? You look really nervous or worried," said the Riolu.
"At the moment I can't remember anything, but I'm sure it's temporary." I said, sure of myself.
"Okay…" she said, "well at least you don't seem like a criminal."
"Wow… where am I," I asked, surprised at my loss of memory. I looked around and it seemed we were in a cave. Stalactites hung from the ceiling as stalagmites met them from the ground. The smell of the ocean breeze tainted the cave wind as it picked up loose sand. Behind me was a large hole that lead out to sea and the rising sun.
"We're in Beach cave!" said the Riolu.
"Thank you… I'll be outside, I guess…" I said, completely lost," Which way is out?"
"This is a mystery dungeon there's no direct way out." The Riolu said, like it was obvious.
"Wait what do you mean, 'Mystery Dungeon'," I asked.
"You know, like a cave or a place where it shifts so often that maps are impossible." said the Riolu, making it sound like it was obvious.
"I'm sorry; I can't even remember my name, parents, any sort of identity, much less anything about where I am or common information." I said sincerely.
"Oh… My bad, are you okay? Do you need help?" she asked.
"It's okay, I suppose I'll eventually be able to get out, right?" I said, walking off towards the darkness of the cave.
"No you'll definitely need help, besides I know how to navigate through the dungeon better," the Riolu said, walking towards me." By the way, my name is Atsuko."
"I guess you could call me Kuro, till I get myself straightened out." I said, continuing forward," But wait there's something I need to check."
"What?" asked Atsuko.
"What I am," I said, walking over to the water. I took a deep breath thought to myself I better not be a Pokémon.
I looked down as the water and what reflected was a Zorua. His right eye was cyan but his left eye was red. Other than that I was an every-day Zorua.
I turned around and walked back towards Atsuko.
"So what do you think you are?" she asked.
"I'm called a Zorua," I said.
"A Zorua?" asked Atsuko.
"A Pokémon from Unova, well at this point I somehow ended up here, wherever here is, from Unova." I said, looking back at the sea, "Anyway let's go."
"Follow me!" said Atsuko, leading me through the darkness of the cave.

~~Explorers of Space~~

We walked through the dark cave together, quietly trying to listen for any other Pokémon.
"I think I see someone," I said, squinting my eyes as I tried to pierce the darkness.
"Should we run?" Riolu asked.
"I think I see a poochyena and a houndour." I said, making out shapes in the dark.
"Ugh… I hate those two, let's get going before they see me," said Atsuko, walking the other way.
"Atsuko?" called a voice from down the cave hall.
"Oh well, here they come," said Atsuko, turning around.
"Why don't you walk away, I mean if they're that bothersome, then isn't it simple to just walk away?" I asked.
"I'll explain this to you later, just let me handle this," said Riolu.
"Hello, Atsuko," said the Poochyena.
"Hello, Leo," said Atsuko.
"Hey who's that," asked the houndour.
"That's Kuro, a friend of mine."
"Funny, I thought you had none," said Leo.
The houndour ignited into laughter as Leo chuckled.
"Shutup!" said Atsuko, ticked off.
"What's that?" asked the houndour pointing at something behind me.
We both turned around and faced the empty darkness.
Suddenly I saw Atsuko get tackled down and she dropped a large red object. Before I turned around, the houndour walked over to it and picked it up.
"What's this?" asked the houndour, looking at it curiously.
"Hey, give that back!" shouted Atsuko.
"Came and get it then!" said Leo, "Not like you have the guts to."
With that said, Atsuko backed down.
"Hey, give that back to her," I shouted at them.
"Came and get us then!" shouted the two of them, running down the cave hall.
"You two, come back here!" I shouted, about to start running after them.
"Kuro, wait," Atsuko said.
"They just robbed you out in the open and you're going to except it?" I asked her, running down the hall.
"Wait for me," called Atsuko, running after me.
I kept running down the hall till we ended up at where we started.

~~Explorers of Space~~

"Hey, look at this, Atsuko actually came after us," said Leo, Waiting for us patiently with his partner.
"I hate petty bullies," I said, tensing up," give back what you stole or face the consequences."
"Hahaha!" laughed the Houndour.
"You think we'll give back what we stole?" asked Leo, smirking.
"Hey it was at least worth attempting," I said, getting ready to fight.
"I don't think this is a good idea…" said Atsuko behind me.
"Sheesh, if you don't stand up for yourself, you'll never be able to do anything by yourself," I said, turning my head.
The houndour released a breath of light flame from his mouth. I looked back and jumped away, listening to the fire extinguish itself against the damp cave walls.
Atsuko quickly fled from the battle.
'Ember,' I thought to myself,' I remember now. He's not only a dark type but a fire type. Poochyena, is a pure dark type, just like me. Judging by the move houndour just used, he can't be that strong, I should be able to take him down with some luck.'
The Poochyena howled, raising his own power. I looked back at the Houndour, watching his moves.
'Only if Atsuko were to join the fight, this would be much easier. '
Then more and more memories flashed back to mind about what these two Pokémon's limitations and overall stats where.
'I know I can move as fast as Houndour, and Poochyena is slower than both of us. All I needed to do was create a strategy, and I still had the art of surprise on my side because they don't know what I am.'
"Ash, plan A," shouted Leo standing there.
Ash, the houndour, ran at me closing the distance between us. I jumped back trying to regain my distance from his ember. I looked around trying to see through their plan, but Leo was no longer where he stood.
I looked around till I noticed he stood right behind me.
"Crud," I muttered, there was only one thing I could do.
Leo started to run at me, as I jumped up into the air and tried to do what a Zorua did best, aside from a ditto.
"Illusion," I muttered to myself, focusing on becoming a Machop.
Nothing happened as I landed back on my feet, then from my right the Poochyena tackled me. Pain ran up my chest as I was sent rolling across the sand.
I got up, while trying to catch my breath from having the wind knocked out of me.
"Do you want to give up yet?" asked Leo.
"Not till I beat you two," I said, and shook the sand from my fur.
I stood there and started to analyze what I could do and formed a strategy to hold myself off for a while longer.
I focused on myself and breathed in deeply, feeling the bruise stretch and flatten itself against my chest.
"Pursuit," I muttered, as I could feel the new energy run through my veins.
"What did he say?" asked the Ash.
Leo started to run at me, getting ready to land another hit. I turned tail and ran away from Leo trying to run into Ash. I could hear Ash breathe in as I got closer, getting ready to reuse ember. Leo backed up as I jumped back towards Ash, as he breathed out a flurry of fire.
I turned my head away and shut my eyes, bracing the fire as it burned me. I could feel the humidity in the cave again as I opened my eyes.
"Ready for some more?" asked Ash, breathing back in.
I jumped at him my paw open with claws sticking out of them. I scratched him before he can breathe back out. I jumped back and braced myself for another flurry of fire. I closed my eyes and turned my head, only to be attacked from my side unexpectedly.
"Ow" shouted Leo, as I struck back at him in midair while I was sent rolling back across the sand.
Another bruise rose around my head as I opened my eyes, to find the Leo walking away. The blow was more than I expected as I stood up and felt my head become light. I stumbled slightly and fell back down.
"You can barely stand; give up and you'll have a much better day," Leo said, limping slightly from the wound I gave him. I looked up at him as he waited for me to make my decision.
Then there was a blur of blue fur as a Pokémon launched an attack on Leo.
"Oww," said Leo as he was sent rolling across the sand, too.
"What?" asked Ash, turning around to meet another attack.
"Atsuko?" I asked, while I started to get to my feet. She helped me up and turned around ready to fight.
"I'm sorry Kuro, I was such a wimp. I shouldn't have left you like that," said Atsuko, as she tensed up for another attack.
"C'mon let's get back at them!" I said feeling a new sense of power with a new ally at my side.
"Ash," shouted Leo, while standing up," Take Atsuko I've got the other Pokémon."
They ran at us, as we got ready to defend ourselves.
Atsuko ran at Ash, at top speed, and nailed him down with a tackle.
Leo ran at me and jumped up, about to tackle me. I dodged it and scratched him from the side while he passed by.
Leo turned around and rammed me with a tackle, toughing out the pain from the wound I gave him. He tackled me down but I quickly reacted by scratching him across his chest. I rolled across the sand as I felt the pain of the new wound spread across my rib cage.
"Take that." said Leo, I could see the damage he had taken from the pain in his face. His eyes closed and he fell down, completely exhausted, but not knocked out.
"I win," I said lightly, feeling the new bruises under my fur.
I walked over to Atsuko as she took back her item from Ash.
"Got it!" said Atsuko, showing me her item. The item seemed to be a ruby shaped perfectly. She was covered in black burns that looked like charcoal marks.
"Good job," I said, "now let's go before they get up."
"Agreed!" said Atsuko, walking off with her item.
