Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Twilight

by Calcumon

A human girl transformed into a Charmander… a timid Pikachu chasing after his dreams… a tale of adventure and mystery; of friendship and discovery; of life, death, and a darkness that spans dimensions. An alternate version to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon II.

Prologue: A Storm at Dusk

Dagger? Dagger!

…Huh?

Don't leave me, Dagger! You just can't!

Dagger? Is that… me?

Wait! Don't go! No — please, no! DAGGER!

The wind howled like a dying beast. Waves crashed against the rocky shores. Thunder growled over the steady roar of pouring rain. There was a blinding flash of light, followed by an ear-splitting crack like a gunshot, and Dagger opened her eyes. Yet she saw nothing — heard nothing. For at that moment, she was only aware of one thing: she was falling helplessly through the stormy air. Her stomach had dropped out of her body, her breath had stopped in her throat, and in that instant; that brief fraction of a second, she saw nothing but sand and sea rushing towards her in a rapid spiral. There was a splash and a heavy thud, and Dagger knew no more.
