Hey guys. Thought I might try my hand at a Mystery Dungeon Fic.

Dx: Oh great, another excuse to ignore the bigger stories.

RDF1: Hello! I just updated Dragonball Z Gohan's Redemption like twice in a week.

Dx: Yet, it's been months since Naruto. Has it bored you for some reason?

RDF1: NO! It's just: I need to find the motivation to start writing again on that.

Ash walks in.

Ash: Uh, guys?

Dx: Same difference. You're not updating Naruto because you've grown bored with it.

RDF1: Don't MAKE me bring Jenny in here!

Ash: Guys?

Dx: I'm surprised you even remember her, since you totally left her out of that Movie Special you wrote!

Ash: Guys!

RDF1: That's a low blow, since she wasn't really needed. Naruto was the one who changed things there.

Ash: GUYS!!

RDF1: What, Ash?

Ash: Two things: You haven't updated your Pokemon Fic in some time either, and you're BOTH getting off topic here.

Dx: See he agrees with me.

RDF1: He also said you're getting off topic.

Dx: THIS IS TOTALLY ON TOPIC!

RDF1 and Dx get into a heated argument, resulting in a smoke-covered fight.

Misty walks in.

Misty: YO! DON'T MAKE ME USE MY HAMMER ON YOU!!

RDF1 and Dx stop short, fear in their eyes of Misty and her hammer.

Misty: Now, RDF1 was going to write a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fic?

RDF1: (Kicks Dx away) Yes. I better get to it.

RDF1 walks away to write the fic.

Dx: (mumbles) bastard.

Misty sends him flying with her hammer.

Ash: Well, I guess it's up to me to put up the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: RDF1 doesn't TRULY own any rights to any Pokemon related characters. If he did, then he would make a special episode about this story instead of a fanfic.

LET THE STORY… BEGIN!!

Note: Just so you know, this does not incorporate Explorers of the Sky. So ignore that storyline for the duration of this fanfic.

(Story Start)

The team had to move fast. Their target was slipping away.

"I can't believe how fast he is," commented one of the team members.

"We need to get him before he reaches the chamber!" warned another member.

"We'll stop him," comforted the leader, "We've rarely failed. That's not happening this time."

The team of three made their way through the dungeon, hoping to make it to the end and stop their quarry. By the time they made it, their target was already putting in the last piece of the sacred puzzle in place.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" shouted the leader, alerting the team's target to their presence.

"I had a feeling you would try and stop me, BSS Squad," said the villain.

(AN1)

"It ends here, Magmorter!" said the leader.

"Actually it doesn't," replied Magmorter, "Especially since I'm not alone."

Just then, two shadows emerged from the darkness. Moving quickly, they took out the other two team members and knocked them out.

"Why am I not surprised?" said the leader, looking at the two who took out his teammates by surprise, "Electivire and Rhyperior, long time no see."

"Not really," said Electivire, "I owe you for that defeat three months ago when you stopped me from helping my Master's plan. But, all in all, he succeeded where I failed."

"Only because he snuck by after I took you in to Officer Magnezone."

"Same thing happened to me, so we're just going to take you out together," replied Rhyperior, who also suffered a defeat from the team leader of BSS Squad, "Rock Wrecker!"

"Zap Cannon!" followed Electivire.

The two attacks collided at point blank range, causing smoke to cover the area that was hit. When the smoke cleared, none of the team members of BBS squad were among the wreckage.

"He's gone," exclaimed Rhyperior.

"No," said Magmorter, "He's just retreated to revive his teammates. Let's go while its clear."

Out of nowhere, a blur sped past him and swiped four of the puzzle pieces, and sent them off in different directions.

"Who did that!" exclaimed Magmorter.

"I did!" said BSS Squad's leader, stopping between all three of the evil Pokemon.

"HOW!?" demanded Magmorter.

"Simple," explained BSS Squad's leader, "I used an All Mach orb to move my partners to a safe distance and used a Longtoss Orb to separate the puzzle pieces."

"Quite ingenious," said a voice from afar.

"YOU!" said BSS Squad's leader.

"Yes," said the voice, "We finally meet again, after all these years, Blaze. Last time I saw you, you were just a Torchic, were you not?"

"Cut the sentimental rubbish," interrupted Blaze, "Garchomp, you are under arrest for attempting to destroy the Pokemon World!"

"Now, where's the fun in that?" mocked Garchomp, "And here I thought I was doing the world a favor this way."

"What you're doing is bringing about the destruction of the world. I'm going to stop you, even if it's the last thing I do."

"Really?" mocked Garchomp once more, before using Dragon Dance, followed by Dragon Rush, catching Blaze off guard and effecting knocking him into the wall behind him.

"You won't win," said Blaze, despite the pain he was in, "I've sent those pieces far away and you won't find them so easily."

"Oh, it won't be too hard. Move out, my subjects!" ordered Garchomp.

"Right!" responded Magmorter, Electivire, and Rhyperior.

The three Pokemon left the area in search of the missing pieces of the Puzzle.

Blaze's teammates rush in, recovered from their surprise attacks.

"Ah, so Torrent, and Overgrow are here as well," said Garchomp, "I shall take my leave now. Better prepare yourself, you're end is near!"

Garchomp digs out of the room, leaving BSS Squad alone. Torrent and Overgrow rushed over to Blaze and, using their Badges, transported themselves and Blaze back to their base for recovery.

Elsewhere, the four pieces land in four different dungeons across the second island of Pokemon.

(AN2)

Wigglytuff, Guildmaster of Wigglytuff's Guild, noticed one of the pieces falling and jumped off his seat.

'It couldn't be, could it?' thought Wigglytuff.

He went to the back wall, and opened a secret compartment. He then took a photo out and looked at it. It was a picture of Team Charm along with three other Pokemon who helped saved them when they were younger and less experienced explorers.

"So, they have finally caught up with Garchomp's group after all," he said, "By the looks of things, they stopped his group from completing the portal. I just hope it stays that way."

He returned the photo and closed the secret compartment and returned to his chair. He wondered if he was going to see his old friends again.

On another island across the sea, another island inhabited by only Pokemon as well, Alakazam of Team ACT felt a disturbance in the balance of Good and Evil, coming from the second island his team had been to a few times.

"So, they have returned. I wonder who's going to be sent this time?" wondered Alakazam.

Alakazam returned to his sleep, all the while waiting for news about the special mission request that would come soon enough.

Blaze woke up in his Team's base.

"What hit me?" he asked.

"That would be a Dragon Dance empowered Dragon Rush," informed Overgrow, practicing his Leaf Blade maneuver for the tenth time that morning, staying in shape for the missions ahead.

"Garchomp has been training, Blaze," added Torrent, finishing off his target practice with his Hammer Arm attack, "You've only just woken up this morning from yesterday's mission."

"Well," said Blaze, smirking as he got to his feet, "It seems we need to call on their help after all."

"Well, we weren't exactly prepared for that last fight, considering how many Pokemon got in our way that wouldn't leave us alone," commented Overgrow.

"Still," replied Blaze, "We may just need them since they've gone the distance before against other legendaries. They may just prove themselves against the very creator himself."

"Well," said Torrent, "Time to send out the requests."

Overgrow walked outside the base and handed the requests to the Pelipper that arrived to deliver new requests to them.

Blaze walked out with Torrent behind him.

"We need to assign these new missions to the others," said Blaze, stepping into his leadership role once more, "Assemble the teams and send them on the missions they can handle for today and inform them of the time off once they've completed their missions. Join us when you finish."

So, as Overgrow went to give the missions to the other members of the BSS Squad, Blaze and Torrent went to town to gather supplies they would need for this mission, the one to decide the fate of the world, as they knew it.

As the sun rose up over Sharpedo Bluff, Empoleon, evolved from Piplup, and Infernape, evolved from Chimchar woke up for another day of Exploration. When they headed out to the Wigglytuff guild for the day's missions, Chatot cut them off. He asked them to join him to see Guildmaster Wigglytuff. They went, not knowing what was in store for them.

Back on the first island, another team was waking up for their day of missions as well. This team was Team Go-Getters. They had excelled in their strength and skills both as a team, and as individuals. Their leader, Meganium, evolved from Chikorita, woke up first and headed outside to see a Pelipper waiting for her.

"Oh," said a surprised Meganium, since she didn't expect Pelipper to be there so early.

Pelipper handed the letter in its beak to Meganium's Vines, before flying off to its duty of delivering help requests.

Meganium opened the letter and got a surprised look on her face when she saw the difficulty of the mission and just who was requested especially.

'This can't be a coincidence,' thought Meganium, 'A double star ranked mission (AN3) asking for us specifically on another Island to help a team of Rescuers that have mission of their own on that island. They know Wartortle's a human, or I didn't have a crush on…'

Her thoughts were interrupted by a splash from inside the base, meaning Wartortle fell in the pool again after Charmeleon tried to wake him up again. Meganium sighed and walked back inside to see Wartortle jump out of the water, an angry look on his face, not that it surprised her, as he once again complained about Charmeleon's invasion of personal space.

(AN4)

Meganium just used her vine whip to separate them.

"Guys," she ordered, "Now's not the time to be arguing. We have a very important mission by special request and I would rather not have to explain why we couldn't make it due to my teammates being incapacitated by their own comrades."

"Sorry," apologized Charmeleon and Wartortle.

"Now," continued Meganium, "We need to leave immediately if we are to meet with our client."

So, Team Go-Getters split up, Charmeleon informing their other members about time off while they are on the mission, and Meganium and Wartortle heading into town to get supplies ready for the mission. When everything was ready, they headed for port where a ship was waiting for them. They sailed out for the mission spot, not knowing what this entire mission would involve.

Team Pokepals were in front of the Guildmaster, this time he was alert as he was standing in front of them.

"I have called you here because we have a client requesting your assistance for a mission," informed Wigglytuff, "This client is an old friend of mine from when I was with Team Charm, so treat them with the same if not more respect you give me. If he's asking for help, then this must be serious. You can't ask for any of your other members for help, since this client as asked for you two alone."

"Right," said Infernape, who held the utmost respect for Wigglytuff even before they joined the guild 5 years ago.

"Who exactly is this client?" asked the Human-turned-Pokemon from the Future.

"Believe it or not, he is an incredibly strong team leader who saved my life many years ago. His name is Blaze the Blaziken," said Wigglytuff.

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" shouted Diglett, from his sentry post.

"Who's the footprint?" asked Loudred, the other Sentry Pokemon.

"The Footprints are Meganium, Charmeleon, and Wartortle!" informed Diglett.

"Send them in," said Wigglytuff.

And so, Team Go-Getters were let into the Wigglytuff Guild.

When Team Go-Getters were let off the ship, they immediately headed towards Wigglytuff's Guild, since that's where the meeting point was.

When they arrived, they heard voices, stopping them in their tracks.

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" shouted a Diglett, from down the grate-covered hole.

"Who's the footprint?" asked a Loudred, from inside the Guild.

"The Footprints are Meganium, Charmeleon, and Wartortle!" informed Diglett.

They didn't hear any more conversation as the gates to the Wigglytuff Guild were open and they were let in. They were guided to the Guildmaster, who was a Wigglytuff.

"Welcome to Wigglytuff's Guild," invited Wigglytuff, "I'm Wigglytuff, the Guildmaster. How can we help you?"

"Actually," said Meganium, "We were asked to meet here for a mission by a client known as Blaze the Blaziken."

"Very well," said Wigglytuff, "You may stay here, as we are awaiting his arrival as well."

"Thank you, Guildmaster," said Meganium, turning to her teammates to chat with them.

It was then when Team Pokepals walked up to Team Go-Getters.

"I'm Infernape," introduced Infernape, "and this is Empoleon. We're Team Pokepals and it looks like we got the same client."

"Interesting," said Meganium, shaking both of their hands in turn with her vines, "No often when two teams get assigned the same request mission."

"I know what you mean," said Infernape, shaking each of Team Go-Getter's hands and vine in turn, "Especially since we're from different Islands."
But their conversation was cut short as Empoleon's eyes went blank, when he shook hands with Wartortle.

"What's this now?" asked Empoleon to no on in particular.

(Vision)

"I called both of you for this mission not just for each of your reputation on your Islands, but also because you are both Human-turned-Pokemon," said a voice Empoleon wasn't familiar with.

(Vision End)

The vision cut short when Wartortle and Empoleon separated their hands.

"Well, that was certainly interesting," commented Empoleon, thinking about the vision that was triggered by the Dimensional Scream.

"What was it?" asked Infernape, Empoleon's partner and closest friend.

"I heard a voice," said Empoleon, still meditating over the vision, "But he said that he knew what I was and there was one other like me."

"You don't mean…" wondered Infernape, only for Empoleon to nod, "but that can't be right, since you're the only one like that."

"I don't know, he didn't mention the ability that allowed me to see that, but he just said we were alike in another way."

"How?" asked Charmeleon.

"He said we were both humans at one time," informed Empoleon, causing a gasp to go around the room.

"That can't be," said Infernape, "You're the only Human-turned-Pokemon on the Island."

"Actually," said Meganium, surprising the Guild members, "Wartortle here is also a Human-turned-Pokemon."

"You're a human?" asked Wartortle.

"I was, long ago," said Empoleon.

"Same here."

"As interesting as this is," said Chatot, "Both of your teams must prepare for the mission ahead. Head into Treasure town to get everything you need, Team Pokepals, for you will need as much equipment as possible."

"He's right," said Infernape, "I'll go into town to get everything."

But before Infernape could get to the stairs, Diglett called out again.

"Guildmaster Wigglytuff!" shouted Diglett, "The client has arrived! I repeat: Blaze the Blaziken has arrived!"

"Send him down immediately," responded the Guildmaster.

So, Infernape moved out of the way as a Blaziken descended the latter down to the lower level of the Guild and stopped in the middle of the gathered group.

"Hello," said Blaze, "I am the one who has asked for Team Go-Getters and Team Pokepals' assistance on an assignment I have."

(Chapter End)

Well, that was certainly different.

Dx: Yeah, considering you sort of rushed through it all.

RDF1: I did not.

Blaze: I'm just glad I'm in another fic.

RDF1: Way to ruin the surprise, Blaze.

Yes, Blaze the Blaziken is the same Blaze from my other Pokemon fic, explanations on that later. Don't worry, I'll update soon enough.

AN1: BSS stands for Blaziken, Swampert, and Sceptile, nicknamed Blaze, Torrent, and Overgrow.

AN2: The First Island is the one for Blue/Red Rescue Team. The Second Island is for Explorers of Time/Darkness.

AN3: I'm saying star2 mission since the first MD game goes only to star1 missions.

AN4: This variation of Team Go-Getters is credited to Endevorer. So I don't own this or the original or Team Pokepals.

Hope you like this story so far, because if I get enough good reviews, I'm going to continue the story. If not, oh well I tried.

I'll update my other fics soon enough, I just need to get around to them.

Later,

RDF1
