Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Fugitives
Chapter 1 - Prologue
Previously...
A young human girl by the name of Reona wakes up one day in the middle of a forest to find herself transformed into a Pokemon. There she also met Jun, a timid Riolu. During her time with Jun, Reona learns how it feels to become an Explorer and a Pokemon. They were soon met by a high ranked officer of the Federation of Exploration Teams and their mentor, Kizone. On their first real mission to catch the menacing Skorupi, Reona and Jun met the enemy's second-in-command, a Kirlia named Sala. Another threat, a Banette name Maria, also appears to the duo, ultimately defeating them and severely wounding Reona, forcing her to a coma. While she was out, Jun met with Ethereal, a playful Glaceon, who immediately decided to join Team Element in order to find her missing item, which Jun promised to find. After a fierce fight with Javaline the Beedrill, Jun comes home to see Reona awake and becomes overjoyed. Posia, a foreign Mienshao who runs the town's shop, asked the trio for assistance in claiming a hoard of items for her to sell. At the end of the Psycho Forest, Sala once again appears before Team Element and this time fights them. Though the battle was tough, tougher than anything before, the trio and Posia pulled through with an unexpected learned move, Fire Blast. Now resting, what new adventures await Reona and her team next?

~Reona's POV~
"Hurry up you two!" I shouted impatiently.
I was waiting outside for my two teammates, Jun and Ethereal, to get ready so we could go see what missions we could do.
"We're coming! Keep your fur on!" Jun shouted back.
Finally, Ethereal and Jun ran out the door, tired of course. I gave a nod, but before we could go anywhere, Tyimon came by.
"Yo, Team Element!" he shouted.
"Good morning, Tyimon. What's up?" I asked.
"There's a town meeting. A visitor who has strange psychic powers has come with something super important to say," Tyimon said, almost not slowing down.
"Okay. Let's go what this is about," I suggested.
"Fine by me," Ethereal smartmouthed, which I rolled my eyes at.
"Okay," Jun said.
~Transition~
Tyimon wasn't really kidding when he said "town meeting"; most of the shops were closed and it seemed rather deserted. Eerily. There was a crowd in the center of the plaza. We got into the crowd to see in its center a Serperior who seemed to have been the speaker.
"Welcome one and all," the Serperior started. "I have traveled far and wide to uncover what was need to uncover... and what I have uncovered was something of pure horror."
Everyone began to freak-out from the words "pure horror". "P-p-pure h-h-horror!" one Pokemon shouted in fear.
"Yes. A horror so tremendous, it could give even the strongest of Exploration Teams a pale face," the Serperior continued. "This horror is so very terrifying. But I will tell you anyway out of generocity. A legend in which is spoken only by a few spoke of a telling of when the world would end."
"END!" shouted another Pokemon, once again, out of fear.
"The world would end if a human came to this world in the shape of a Pokemon."
This portion caught my and my team's attention. That ironically sounded like...me.
"Yes, everyone. If hasn't been clear yet, there have been many natural disasters plaguing our once beautiful home. Mountains crumbling, rivers drying, forest burning; all of these are signs of the coming end."
Everyone began shaking at her speech, even I was. There have been strange events going about other than Kramzak and his fearsome army; maybe... am I...
"However, I have also discovered a solution."
Everyone sighed in relief, once again, even I did, though I did not have a good feeling about what was about to be said.
"If a human was the cause of all these events then perhaps destroying this same human would end the events and save our homes once and for all."
"But where is this human? Who is it?"
"Hmhmhm," the Serperior giggled. "I thought no one would ask. A reliable source of mine has told me who it is and indeed it is here in this meeting now. Am I right... Miss Vulpix?"
I jumped at the sound of my species name being called.
"Wait... She is the cause of our misery?" one Pokemon asked in confusion.
"But she looks like any other Vulpix, besides the red scarf," another Pokemon pointed out.
"Ah. If it is proof you need then allow me to call someone from the audience," the Serperior suggested. "Mister Kizone! Come here!"
Kizone came from the audience with a bit of a disappointed look on his face.
"Mister Kizone, you, like any other Lucario, have the ability to read the aura of other beings, yes? You must know that she is a human. If she is, tell us."
"I'm sorry, Reona, but I am not one to tell a lie..." Kizone said to me, making freeze in complete shock. "Yes! Reona, that Vulpix, is indeed a human transformed into a Pokemon!"
Everyone began to back away from me and my team. I wanted to explain to them, but even I thought I was the one who COULD BE destroying this world.
"There. Since we know our mission, it is simple to do; DESTROY THAT VULPIX," Serperior said with a laugh.
Everyone agreed to this and began closing in at us.
"W-wait!" Jun shouted, stepping between me and the crowd.
"There has to be some sort of mistake!" Ethereal defended.
"Out of the way! We want that Vulpix!" an Ursaring growled harshly.
He then slashed Ethereal, who dodged it swiftly, causing her to step back. I then began to react again.
"Jun! Ethereal! Let's get out of here!" I shouted in a panic.
We then moved it out of town, no one following us.
~Transition~
"Huff...huff..." Jun panted. "Wow...tough crowd..."
"Reona! WHY DIDN'T YOU DEFEND YOURSELF!" Ethereal shouted in anger.
"...Ethereal...Jun... I don't know how to say this easily, but we should...break up the team..."
"WHAT!" they both shouted in unison.
"What are you saying, Reona?" Jun asked, still shocked by what I said.
I explained to them why I came to that decision, recieving very negative looks from them.
"NONONONO! You can't be what's making the world like this! You just can't!" Ethereal shouted angrily.
"Ethereal, think about it!" I screamed at her. "None of this happened before I appeared... It maybe my fault that everything is happening the way it is... It...may as well be..."
Out of nowhere, a fist came at my face, lashing at me at a somewhat weak force. The fist was from Jun who stood crying.
"Don't say that! Don't ever say that!" Jun cried. "I trust you! I know you! You're a kind and gentle person... When I first met you, I didn't think you would be my friend or even get this far with me... But we somehow made it... Even if you are the cause I don't care! I'd rather die than let those jerks lay a hand on you! They can take me instead!"
"...Jun..." I said softly, beginning to cry myself.
Suddenly, Kizone came into view. He seemed sad.
"Oh no!" Ethereal shouted, jumping in front of Kizone in defense position. "You are not taking Reona away!"
"Reona... I am deeply sorry... Truly I am, but I can never tell a lie..." Kizone said, looking to his side. "But that is not why I am here."
"Then why are you?" Jun asked in a serious tone.
"To tell you, that I am INDEED going to destroy you...but not here or now." Kizone admitted. "Me and the other Exploration Team Leaders have talked it over and have decided to let have a chance to clear your name."
"Clear my name?" I asked, tilting my head.
Suddenly Kumo came from behind, walking to Kizone's side.
"I have to give it to Kizone, he's very good at persuading people; I was ready to destroy you guys myself until he convinced me that you guys are worth letting go free," Kumo said.
"I don't think you are guilty of anything at all. Do not lose hope over a few simple words. Take the time tomorrow to get supplies and leave for a long journey," Kizone suggested.
"Though it pains me to say it, we Exploration Teams will coming at you with full fury, so be ready for that time; go when you are absolutely prepared," Kumo said.
"...Kizone..."
"Good bye and good luck, Reona," Kizone said before he and Kumo left.
"...Reona?" Jun called me.
I looked up to see the sun. It shined with hope... A hope in which I WILL follow.
"Jun... Ethereal... Thanks... I need a little Pick-Me-Up," I joked.
"So? Does this mean..." Ethereal began and stopped asking.
"YEP! TEAM ELEMENT IS STILL ALIVE!" I shouted with pure eagerness. Jun and Ethereal were happy to hear me say that with pure confidence. "Even though that's true, Kizone is right, we do need supplies if we're going to clear our names."
"Where do go for that?" Ethereal asked.
"I don't know, but I'm sure we'll find what we're looking for soon," I said, trying to give confidence.
"Okay! I trust you, Reona!" Jun said with same confidence I had.
"Me too," Ethereal said.
We got out our Team Badges and shone them to the sun, letting them glitter at the rays. Tomorrow we had to prepare for whatever we were looking for. We had to try...or fail trying at all.
