Author's Note: Happy summer vacation, everyone! I thought I'd kick off the fact that I'm done with all of my finals with a Hybrid Mystery Dungeon story. I don't know how long this story's gonna be, but I'm not gonna name chapters anymore. As for the length of chapters, I'll probably do 2,000 to 3.000 words. Enjoy this interesting introduction!


In the human and pokemon world, in a forest, there were various people walking through at about 10:00 in the night.

The first person was tall and had a khaki hat, a khaki shirt, khaki shorts, and black boots. He had a mustache and a slight goatee. In one hand, he had a notebook. In the other, he had a flashlight. On his shirt, there was a tag that said 'Mr. Connor'. He also had a red scarf and a brown backpack.

The second figure was also a male and only about 4 feet and 3 inches. He had his brown hair in a neat blowout and sported a black logo shirt, navy blue jeans, and sneakers that were a mix of black, blue and green. He had a navy blue backpack. He also had a name tag on his shirt that said 'Carlos'.

The third figure was also male. He was about 2 inches taller than Carlos, and had some kind of side-do as his haircut. His hair was a deep black color. He wore a red shirt, dark navy blue shorts, and black and red Nike sneakers. He also wore a red and blue book bag. He had a name tag that read 'Dave'.

The fourth figure was a female, who was about 3 inches shorter than Dave. She had a blonde ponytail and sported a white and blue striped shirt, along with a matching blue skirt and blue slippers. She had a one-strap lavender purse and a name tag that said 'Anabelle'.

The fifth figure was probably only 3 and a half feet. He had black hair cut almost all the way, a white long sleeved shirt, khaki pants and black dress shoes. He also had glasses and a name tag that said 'Collin'. The figure in the front kept on waving the flashlight in different directions.

"Um... Mr. Connor, are we lost?" Collin asked. Mr. Connor sighed in frustration. "Collin, just calm down. I told you, we'll find the bus in time, we've still got... 10 minutes left."

Collin turned back to his friends. "Guys, what if we can't get back to the bus? The others are gonna leave without us and we'll be forced to spend the rest of our lives in the forest with all these pokémon and-"

"Collin, calm down!" Carlos said. "We're gonna get through this."

"I'm not sure about that, Carlos," Anabelle said worriedly. "I mean, we've all been wandering around this forest for an hour, and it doesn't look like we're getting any closer to our bus..."

"Look, Carlos is right, so just chill out, everyone!" Dave said annoyedly.

Mr. Connor was still waving his flashlight about while checking his map. Suddenly, his flashlight began to flicker until it finally powered down, turning the light off.

"You've got to be kidding me... I can't even see now," he said. Soon after, the five humans were caught in headlights. They saw their bus, and it was about to leave.

"RUN!" Mr. Connor yelled as they all ran quickly towards the bus, whose engine just started. Unfortunately, the rest of them were unaware when Carlos' foot got caught in a weed and he tripped.

"Guys, help!" he tried to shout, but by that time everyone left and the bus light was gone. He looked around, but all he could see was darkness. By that time, he was able to at least sit up with the weed still ensnaring his leg.

Carlos sighed. "This is the worst first grade trip ever," he thought. Then he perked up. "Oh! I think I might have a flashlight in my backpack!" He then took off his backpack, set it down in front of him, opening it to feel the contents inside. He felt something shaped like a cylinder and pulled it out. To his relief, it was a flashlight.

When he found and turned on the switch, a bright light filled his vision as he sighed in relief. "Alright, what else do I have in here?" he thought as he shined the light into his backpack, where he saw 2 sleeping bags, a pack of batteries, his 3DS, 2 bottles of water, a lantern and a bag of trail mix that was about as big as his body, from chest to waist.

"Perfect," he thought as he took the lantern and lit it up. He was relieved when it gave the forest a green, yet visible, glow. Then he did a double take. TWO water bottles

Carlos was confused as to why he had an extra water bottle and sleeping bag. "Oh, yeah... Collin asked me to hold them for him because they didn't fit in his backpack with all of his calculus textbooks..." Tired of standing, Carlos decided to open his big bag of trail mix. As usual, he ate every kind of chip except for the Cheetos.

As he was munching on a few pretzels, a pichu came out of nowhere and walked towards Carlos. It then looked up at him with big, round, gleaming eyes.

Carlos smiled at the sight. He loved pokémon. He loved everything about them. He felt like one of the most privileged people in the world, because Collin once told him about a world where humans live without pokémon. He shuddered at the thought of not being around pokémon. He was too young to have one, but they were still cute. He patted the pichu on the head, earning a soft purr.

"Here, have some food, little guy," Carlos said, dropping some Doritos and Sun Chips into the pichu's stubby arms.

The pichu smiled at him. "Thank you, mister." Carlos smiled at it. "Oh, no prob-" Then he froze before looking at the pichu. "Uhh... w-w-what d-did you s-say?" he asked shakily.

"I said thank you, mister!" The pichu said, before he had a shocked expression as well. "Wait... you can understand me?"

Carlos had answered the little pichu's question by promptly screaming and running with his trail mix and lantern. While he looked back to make sure that the pichu hadn't followed him, he accidentally bumped into an ursaring.

The ursaring turned around and held out his paw to help him up. "Are you okay? It asked.

"AHHH!" Carlos screamed, scrambling to his feet and running away as fast as he could. Yet, once again, he tripped and landed in some kind of den. "Oww..." he groaned.

All of a sudden, he saw two luxray slowly stalk out of the bushes and circle him, growling occasionally.

"You've got some nerve landing in our den, human," the first one growled. By the luxray's voice, Carlos could tell that a) it was a male, and b) it did NOT like humans. Carlos merely began to cower. "I'm s-sorry... I d-didn't m-mean to land in y-your den... p-please don't k-kill me..." Tears began streaming down his face. Being able to suddenly talk to pokémon was no longer his biggest fear.

The other luxray looked at Carlos with sympathy. "Lux, maybe you should just let him go..." it said in a feminine voice.

Lux growled. "No, Zyra! I come home without a single leppa berry for us, and now, this human barges in our den with disrespect."

"Um... actually, leppa berries only grow on top of trees," Carlos clarified.

Lux suddenly stepped back in astonishment. Zyra looked shocked as well. "You... you can understand us?"

Carlos nodded. "I don't know how, but I just can."

Zyra turned to Lux. "Lux, he can actually understand us! It's a miracle!" Lux thought for a moment. "Human, what's your name?" he asked.

"My name's Carlos," Carlos told him. Lux then walked over to a tree. He looked up, and sure enough, he saw some leppa berries.

"Well then, Carlos, can you get to those leppa berries for me?" he asked. Hoping he would be set free, Carlos nodded and proceeded to climb the tree. Within a minute, he had gotten back down with five leppa berries in his hands. He gave them to Lux.

"Thank you," Lux said, eating a leppa berry. "You should head on back to your parents."

Carlos looked down as more tears escaped.

"I don't have parents..." he said sadly. Hearing this, Zyra quickly pulled Lux aside and told him something.

Lux looked shocked. "Zyra, are you sure? I mean, we're both only 25!" Zyra smiled. "I know, but he seems lonely, and he has a gift! Please?"

Lux eventually sighed, knowing that he already lost the argument, much to Zyra's delight. He turned to Carlos. "Carlos? Can you come over here?"

Carlos walked over hesitantly, hoping that he wouldn't be eaten.

"Would you like to be part of our family?" Lux asked. Carlos responded by hugging the two luxray happily. He had finally been accepted by someone. The two luxray warmly hugged the 7 year-old human back, happy to have a family.


Author's Note: Pretty good intro, huh? Sadly, this story centers more on hybrids than just regular pokemon, but don't worry. Carlos being able to talk to pokemon will still be relevant.
