Prologue

For generations, the arrival of human turned Pokémon meant that there was trouble afoot. All of these transformed humans were left with little to no memory of who they had been, or a clue as to what their purpose in the Pokémon world was. Most of the time they were soon paired up with another Pokémon who'd later become a close friend.

They often followed behind the idea of finding out who they were, their purpose in the Pokémon world, and the simple desire to help their new friend achieve their dream; the human turned Pokémon and their partner formed a Rescue Team or Exploration Team.

But before I tell you the differences between these two teams, allow me to tell you the fate of these human turned Pokémon.

Obviously, all of them had come to the Pokémon world in order to save it. Naturally they were unaware of this. It wasn't until much later that they discovered that they'd been chosen to hold back the darkness that threatened to fall over their world. Upon fulfilling their task, they were given the choice to return to the human world or stay in the Pokémon world. Most decided to stay due to how close they'd become to their friends and partner. Very rarely did these human turned Pokémon return to the world they once knew.

And most of the time they continued on their life as a Rescue Team or Exploration Team.

Exploration Teams, or commonly called Explorers, explored the vast world and its mysteries. It was their duty to chart uncharted territory and explore its secrets. Most of the time, explorers walked away with treasure chests filled with loot. Some walked away with no discoveries, or walked home with new members to add to their teams. Sometimes they walked away with both new members and treasure.

Rescue Teams helped those in need. It was up to them to rescue, retrieve, or catch criminals. It wasn't very often that they had the chance to go out into the world and explore it. They mostly spent their time in dungeons already discovered. They were like an extended part of the Police Force, but did more than just catch criminals.

As of late, there'd been a recent spike in a combination of the two teams. These teams, called RET (Rescue and Exploration Teams), took on the challenges of charting uncharted territory while helping those in need. It was tougher than being just an explorer or rescuer. I would know. My team was one of these combined teams.

And now, let me tell you my story…

She felt awfully nervous as she bowed respectfully in front of her master. Her eyes closed while she bowed her head. "The plan will begin shortly, Master. It won't be long now."

She could feel a shiver run down her spine as her masters dark chuckle echoed in the large, shadowed room they were in. "That's good to hear. What of the arrangements we made in order to… put our threats out of commission?"

The female Weavile raised her head to catch her masters gleaming red eyes. "Phase one has been completed thanks to your accomplice. Phase two is currently underway. Our 'guests' have begun appearing in our- err, I mean your castle, and placed in their confinement cells. We've made sure that they will be unable to escape as each of their cells have been specially made."

"Excellent!" the voice boomed. "I'm very happy to hear that. Do you have anything else to report?"

"Yes," she said. She stood and signaled for the guards near the large doors to open them. As the Weavile spoke, three Pokémon approached them. "To add some support to your cause, I have enlisted the help of a particular team who swears loyalty to you and your cause. This is Team Poisonix and they've come forward with an offer to dispose of anyone who may find a lead on the missing Pokémon we have." Behind the Weavile bowed a Banette, Seviper, and Gothitelle. The Weavile looked back at her master. "I figured they could be of some use. What do you think Master?"

"I'm overjoyed with this idea you've presented before me. Once again you have surprised me. I approve. Welcome to the group, Team Poisonix. Does your team have a leader?"

"Yes," the Gothitelle spoke, keeping her head bowed. "I am the leader of Team Poisonix. My team and I are honored in to be in your presence, your grace. We wish to lend our strength to your cause."

"Wonderful." The voice said. "I will put you under the wing of my most trusted minion. Icy, I trust you will keep a close eye on them and their reports. You are hereby dismissed."

The Weavile, known as Icy, bowed her head. "Very well. Thank you Master."

Icy left the room with Team Poisonix not far behind her. As the doors closed behind them, the Gothitelle strode up beside Icy. "I see he enjoyed your idea. What do you think our first task should be?"

Icy eyed her from the corner of her eye. "For now I want you to remain close to the Rescue Teams and Exploration Teams Head Quarters. Keep an eye our for anyone who comes forward with a lead and quickly dispose of them. Alert me immediately if a potential force that you can't dispose of comes forward and I will handle them."

"I hardly believe anyone will be able to defeat us." Seviper said as he slithered next to Gothitelle. He was grinning. Banette agreed. "If they get caught in Seviper's grip, they're good as dead."

"That's good to know." Icy commented as they entered the dungeons. "I have high expectations of your team. It's the very reason why I presented you in front of our Master."

The trio jumped as a sudden THUMP startled them. Icy glared at the cell to the right of them. Inside stood an injured Leafeon with their eyes locked with Icy's in pure hatred. "My friend will find me!" The Leafeon announced.

"Annabelle, wasn't it?" Icy mocked as she approached the cell. Annabelle backed away with a snarl. "I very much doubt your friend will find you. And even if they did…well, lets just say they wouldn't remain alive for very long."

"Y-y-you monster!" Annabelle gasped. Icy smirked and chuckled. She waved her off and left the room with Team Poisonix trailing not far behind her.

Annabelle's ears drooped as she frowned. She slumped onto the ground and buried her face in her paws. As she drifted off into a light sleep, she murmured the name of her partner. "Vivian…"

A/N: This little idea came to me after I finished playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky again. How do you all like it? There's sure to be more twists later in the story. Chapter one should be coming shortly. Sorry. D: I updated this chapter after seeing that there were a few mistakes. Also, this version of PMD will include all the Pokemon - new and old.
