A/N : So...'cuz of playing a ton of Mystery Dungeon again, I decided to get this over with and submit this story. If it's kinda bad...sorry because I got a little lazy on this chapter, and the exchanges between the two pokémon (you'll see what I mean) can get a little confusing...and a bit hard to type what would they say next. O_O

Chapter 1 - From Human to Pokémon

".....owwie..." the calm splashing sound of the waves can be heard. As the fire type pokémon slowly opened her eyes, she sees that she was lying on something soft...

"U-uh...too lazy to stand up..." she mumbled as her face was still firmly implanted on the soft, golden yellow sand. "I'll just...doze off...a bit more..." and soon the fire type closed her eyes again, drifting off to dream land...

--o--

"Come on Turtwig..! You can do it! Go in already!" a tiny leaf pokémon paced about as he glanced at the Wigglytuff-shaped tent once more, with two torches blazing on each side. The grass type looked like a turtle, expect his shell was brown and had a thick, black line at the middle. His jaw was yellow and his body was light green, but what stuck out the most about him was the little leaf on top of his head. Turtwig sighed, all he had to do was go in. 'How hard can that be..?' he kept thinking, but no matter how much he begged himself to move, he just can't seem to do it. He was scared stiff, literally.

"Just step on the grate and you'll be fine..." he muttered under his breath. Finally summoning his courage and gulping once, his small feet began to take little steps towards the wooden grate in front of him. Apparently, you would have to step on that if you want to enter the tent, so he had no way around it.

As soon as his foot landed on the grate, a voice shouted from nowhere, terrifying the grass pokémon almost immediately. "Pokémon detected! Pokémon detected!" he tried his best not to run, yet still continued to tremble in fear. "Who's footprint? Who's footprint?" a pause, and then the voice came back. "The footprint's Turtwig's! The footprint's Turtwig's!"

"W-waaaah!" at last Turtwig jumped out from where he was and paced back a few steps for good measure. When he was sure he was alone again, he sighed in relief.

A small frown crept on the tiny leaf pokémon's face. "I...I can't. I can't do this after all..." he said to himself sadly. "I thought...that I'll be able to do it today but..." he reached for something in his small bag, and pulled out some kind of gray rock. "Holding my precious treasure...didn't work after all..."

Sighing once more, he turned away from the tent and began to walk away, not noticing at all that he was being watched by two other pokémon. They both smiled eerily to themselves as they kept on staring at the rock that Turtwig held. Laughing evilly and quietly, they cautiously and slowly tagged behind the grass pokémon, waiting for a chance to steal the 'precious treasure' right from his hands.

After walking on his four legs for a few minutes, he finally reached where he wanted to go, the beach. As soon as he stepped on the sand, his frown changed to a relaxed look, a small smile can be seen too. Looking towards the calm, blue ocean, his smile broadened. The view was beautiful...

The waves crashing gently on to the shoreline as the Krabby stood on cliffs to blow bubbles that reflect on the sunlight, making the rainbow colors as clear as day. The sunset accompanying everything made the scene almost perfect, like a painting.

"I...always loved this view. Coming here cheers me up every time I feel sad about myself..." Turtwig uttered to himself as he continued to stare at the amazing sunset. "It has a calming feeling...like all your problems would wash away to the sea..."

Turtwig shifted his view as he was enveloped in the beauty of the sky, and suddenly noticed something that isn't normally on the beach. "Huh? What...is that?" taking a few steps towards it, he gasped in shock and surprise. "W-waah..! It's a pokémon!" quickly, Turtwig ran to the fire type and looked around for any injuries on her. She looked like a chick, with her feathers colored in red and orange, while her yellow beak was lying flat on the sand. "A-are you okay..? Say something..!" he said, panicking. A situation like this was new to him, and he had no idea what to do.

"Ugh..." all of a sudden, Turtwig heard a small grunt which came from the chick pokémon. Slowly trying to stand, she finally stood face to face with Turtwig, her black eyes meeting his. "H-hi...I'm Turtwig." the tiny leaf pokémon stuttered. "Do you know how you ended up sleeping on the beach?"

"Beach?" she repeated with confusion in her voice. "I don't remember going to some beach..." out of the blue, she stepped back swiftly, startled. "H-how are you talking? Pokémon aren't supposed to talk!" she shouted. Turtwig was now half-shocked and half-angry. "Are you saying that I'm stupid?"

"Of course not--!"

"And who are you to say that pokémon can't talk, you're a pokémon too!" Turtwig yelled, and that shut her up. For a few seconds, she was simply gaping at the grass type, trying to absorb what he just said. "W-whaa..? Pokémon? I ain't a pokémon! I'm a human!" she yelled back.

"What? No way! Are you trying to confuse me?" Turtwig shot back, his guard now up in case he had to battle.

"What is wrong with you? I'm a human! See--" she was stunned when she saw she had feathers, and her arms weren't there anymore. "My body..!" her feet were different too, they were claws. She then screamed, loudly. "What did you do to me?" she shrieked at Turtwig. He was slightly taken aback by her outbursts, but this is one pokémon that won't scare him, even though she was a fire type.

"Nothing! I found you like that you... you Torchic!"

"I have a name you know, it's Yuna!" she screamed back indignantly. "Whoever you are, bring me back home this instant!" after she said that, Yuna finally realized her surroundings. "Where is this anyway?"

"The beach nearby Treasure Town." Turtwig said with annoyance in his voice.

"Treasure Town? Never heard of it." Yuna said simply. "You know where the nearest telephone is? I need to call my house." the fire type began to walk away when what Turtwig said after stopped her. "What's a telephone?"

"Something you use to call your friends, family, whatever. Come on, I think even pokémon know about those kinds of electronics."

"Electronics..?" something about Turtwig's expression made Yuna cringed in worry. "Turtwig...when was the last time you have seen a person?"

"H-huh? I don't even know what they look like so I can't really answer that question..." even Yuna knew what that meant. "W-where exactly am I?" she asked again.

"Um...Treasure Town? I said that already didn't I?" all of a sudden, a bat pokémon tackled Turtwig and sent him falling on the sand, letting the rock roll out of his bag and in front of the two poison pokémon. The flying one looked like a blue bat, with no eyes but his purple ears seemed to be sharp to back up his sight. The other pokémon looked like a round, purple ball with lots of craters letting off poisonous gases. Under its smiling face is a skull and cross-bones marking, making its poison feel a lot more dangerous.

"Hey! What did you do that for?" Turtwig shouted furiously as soon as he got back up on his feet. He seemed angrier than before; Yuna must have gotten him really irritated. The two pokémon didn't respond, instead, they grinned and took the rock of the ground. "That's mine! Give it back!"

"Why should we? You think we just bumped into you for nothing?" the bat pokémon said. Turtwig was shocked, or maybe scared. "You're not going to try getting it back? Man you're a bigger chicken than I thought, right Zubat?" the poison gas pokémon laughed.

"Yeah Koffing!" and he began to laugh as well. The tiny leaf pokémon didn't move, he simply gulped as the two started walking away to a cave nearby, Yuna simply watching the whole thing happen. After they were gone, Yuna turned back to the grass type. "You didn't even try to attack them? You really are a weakling." she remarked.

"Thanks." he replied sarcastically. "But...I'm not a weakling. I just...I can't seem to gather my courage at all. Even with those goons, I couldn't make a move to get my precious treasure back." out of the blue, the tiny leaf pokémon had tears in his eyes. Yuna stared at him, and sighed. "You worked up the courage to face me, so I think you have enough bravery to defeat those guys." she said mildly, yet with a hint of encouragement.

"R...really?"

"'Course." the fire type smiled. "And...maybe I'll help out too."

"Th-thank you Yuna!" suddenly Turtwig jumped on Yuna with a lot of force, causing them to both fall on the sand again. "Get off me Turtwig!" she yelled. The tiny leaf pokémon took a step back while smiling sheepishly.

"Well, let's go!" and after Yuna standing up on her own two feet, the two pokémon sped into the cave to catch up to Zubat and Koffing.
