A/N: Read this if you want to know about the Characters Personality. I will make these for introducing new characters.
My first story (That will be published in public). This is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I love the games and the manga. This story will be combining to different universes. My story before this is my lost first original fiction story titled: Memoirs of the Death God. I lost my draft and I would like to do it again but due to time constraints I can't start it. If I have a time, I will post it on FictionPress (?).(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Flames? What flames? I will dose it with Hydro Pump because I can't work well while I'm on fire. Do you want to try to be on fire too? (AKA. Fuck you Flames! I can do what I want!) ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
Constructive criticism is appreciated, but not too much! The length and the time I will update will vary. Minimum of 1k length and 1 month. Too busy. (._.) ( l: ) ( .-. ) ( :l ) (._.)

Personality of New Characters:
Kurogami "Kuro" Dokuro -I made his character by combining Naruto (Naruto series)'s innocence and prankster as a child, Kakashi (Naruto series)'s lazy and genius attitude, and Mukuro (Katekyo Hitman Reborn series)'s sadistic and mysterious attitude. He was wary to strangers. Favourite expression: ◉_◉
Kagami and Chrono (passing characters)-They are both have mysterious and jolly nature especially Chrono. They are always vague. Because they are hiding something to Kuro, they are always having a thin ice between them. Favourite expression: ( ﾟヮﾟ) (ﾟヮﾟ )
Arceus- Remember Aizen Souske from Bleach series? Yeah I shove his all personality to Arceus. A nice-at-the-first-glance Pokemon with a hidden agenda. You decide what you think if this is a good one or not. I'm not telling~ Favourite expression: ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ
Fact 1: I actually working for an Ace Attorney fic but I just remembered that the MC companions came from the Pokemon world. So I made this first.
Disclaimer: I own some things you knew I own. And some things you knew don't.
Ok, let's start!

Chapter 1: Welcome to the World of Pokemon, Jackass!
Hey guys and gals let me introduce myself first. My name is Dokuro Kurogami, or is it Kurogami Dokuro in English? Anyways my age is unknown (physically 20 or 23 years) and also when and where do I live. In my entire life all I see is Darkness but long story short, someone help me see the light. Sounds ridiculous and cheesy but that's my life in a nutshell. I don't want to talk about it.
After that entire fiasco I moved on and went travelling. I heard from one of my friends that there are different dimensions and parallel universes and ask me if I want to travel with those. I believe him instantly. I already saw what he can do and I don't think I can be shock on what's happening around me anymore. He gave me a device (Which looks like a bracelet, or a watch, but I am inclined on the bracelet) that can be used to travel as a farewell gift and may use as I see it fit. But he also gives me a warning that the device will be reusable again after 7 years.
Ha! I'll just rework it then. They didn't call me the 'Trickster Tinker' for nothing! ...Well if my friends tell me true.
After bidding farewell to my friends, I travel around the world for a bit. I see that he used the device recently as it needs to be recharged for 6 years. That's alright as I like to travel this world. I wanted to call this world my home but looking at the surroundings I don't think so. According to my friends and some of my memories I've gathered in pieces, this world was destroyed a long time ago. Maybe if some of my memories returned I can call it my domain. I'm an amnesiac you see. My friends help me find my memories but in what they know only. I like to recall my memories that I'm sure that only myself known. A long time ago I was afraid of remembering but not anymore.
Finally after 6 years I can finally leave. Seriously travelling at the same place for the past 6 years are kind of boring. Looking at the device (bracelet), I vaguely remember what kind of instructions Chrono tells me about the device. The bracelet has a square screen that is blank at the moment and 7 beads that have a green colour (red if it needs to be recharged) as a strap. He tells me that these beads show how much time it needs to recharged. The only curious thing is when it will recharge. For example, you used it on October 10, xx33. But it will always be charged on January 1 even you are travelled only for 3 months.
But I seriously hate the look. Around the screen is a hideous rabbit. He calls it Chappy and it came from the world he calls "Bleach" universe. He tells me I will gonna like that world due to 'similar' I was to the people there. Ha! As if. Maybe I should check it out for unforeseen future. But not right now. I need to change the design soon.
x.X.x
Today, I am going to the other universe after I put all my belongings in my pocket dimension. Thank you Kagami for this cheat code! Anyways I tap the middle of the screen and make a sign for four (4). I don't know why Chrono was laughing while telling me this. Oh well I will know it eventually. I look at the screen that was suddenly pop up. It was a voice activated. Ugh I hate it. I have some bad (embarrassing) memories about it you see. Chrono tells me that to travel through other dimensions, I need to think and feel where I would like to go. He said that the will of a person makes it work.
Not only the design I will be changing, I will change how the device will work too. I seriously saw how this feature will bite me in the ass if I don't change it in the future. But for now I need to compromise.
Willing to go a place you like sounds difficult. I seriously don't know where to travel. Where would I like to go? What places what would I like to travel?
…Why did I travel in the first place? That's an easy answer.
Companionship. I need companions to travel the world. When I travel to this world for the first time, my companions were both Kagami and Chrono. That journey compels me to travel the world as I thought love it. But when I travelled alone for the first time, I feel something is missing. I feel fine for the first year but afterwards I felt sick to myself. I can't speak (If I speak to myself every day, I feel insane for a second there. Just like in the past). I can't share my experience. I can't talk to someone. But most importantly is I feel lonely. I hate that feeling. That one is my hated companion that never goes away until I saw the light. I don't want to feel that again but I really want to travel so I hide it. I thought when I travel again I will see some people that I didn't see on our previous travel. But after 6 years I didn't see anyone. So it was only 3 of us are here just like Kagami said. I have some vague memories of what happened. He and Chrono knew what happened and them gotten defensive when I ask them about it. Someday I will find out what happened to this world.
Anyways, companions. Both Kagami and Chrono are busy of their own projects so I will leave them for a while. I willed the device to go where I will find my companions. I heard a ding and the device suddenly glows too intense that I need to shield away my eyes with my free arm.
And it goes black.

"Hello? Anybody?!" I shouted, my voice nearly cracking as I remember before I see the light.
It was just like used to be.
Front. Darkness. Left and right. Darkness. Up and down. DARKNESS!
I kneeled to my knees and banged my knuckles to the ground.
No, no, NO! Why I am back in here?! Did I suffer enough?
K-Kagami? C-Chrono?
A-Anybody?
A lone tear gaze my cheek as it flows to my chin and saw it drop down to the ground.
…
…
..
.
Wait SAW?
I looked into the ground and saw my reflection (Water, I realized) and be amazed and kinda relief as I realize that I was not in there because there was no reflection and you can't see yourself. Only Darkness.
I whooped in joy ay my PTSD is meaningless when there is a reflection and you can see yourself. I felt like an idiot. Why didn't I see it sooner? Why didn't I feel or hear the water? Ugh. If only the two were here they will surely bonk my head for such behaviour. But I can't stop the maniacal grin that threatening to show at my face. Because I was free.
x.X.x
After that little panic, I looked and walked around as I travel through the dark. After an hour (Yes, I counted. This habit will not leave me for a long time), I saw something shining for a distance. I run towards it and saw something amazing.
An animal (?) that look like a deer (Kagami shows me pictures) was floating and around them are 17 different colour stones (?). This magnificent creature has an aura like Kagami, his brilliant radiant aura like a morning sun that gaze the world. This creature was powerful, I'm sure of it. And those stones (?) shown different power of nature but I can't seem to remove my gaze towards the dark one. Kagami says that I have a dark nature. Maybe I got it when I am in the Darkness? I feel I need to touch that stone.
But first I need to talk to this magnificent creature.
"*cough* Ah, greetings. My name is Kurogami Dokuro. It is my pleasure to be your acquaintance. May I ask what's your name is, please?" Those 6 years of travelling without talking seriously makes my trough itch.
"Greetings, Old One ('I am not old!...Right?' I screamed mentally). My name is Arceus and this place was a path towards to the world I reside in, the Pokemon world."
Arceus. The name gives me the chills. So somehow the device worked and will journey to this "Pokemon" world to find some companions that I've looking for. Nufufufu~ I feel exited! What kinds of partners will I met? But first I need to talk to Arceus about it. I feel he was kinda a Pokemon (?) who was governing this place like the 3 of us on my world.
"Hello, Arceus and thank you for telling me about this place. I would like to go to the Pokemon world if you may but may I inquire why you are here?" I ask because why is this magnificent creature in a dark place? My intuition tells be that he (The voice was a he, so I will spoke to him as a male) was waiting for someone. Someone like me. But why?
"Because I feel that you will go here, Old One ('Seriously stop talking to me on that title. What is that mean anyway?'). If this was not a hassle, I need your help." Help. He seriously asking for my help even we just met and exchange pleasantries a minute ago. I want to help whatever it is but this was going too fast to my liking. Troublesome. Well, may as long get to it.
"First of all, you may call me Kurogami. I don't know what this 'Old One' means. Second, I will help you and accept if you tell me what this all about. Third, tell me about your world." The first one is needed, as I seriously don't know what 'Old One' means. I feel that Kagami knows it. The second one is I need information about what he likes to be done. I am not a guy that will just accept a request because I can. I need to know what kind of event I will put it into to avoid headaches later. And lastly I need to know what is the Pokemon world in general. I want to avoid unnecessary travelling without finding my companions first. And I don't want to be ignorant in the first place. If there was someone or something that I will get the information, I want it now.
After a minute of thinking, Arceus replies. "Very well, Kurogami. The world of Pokemon houses many different creatures known as Pokemon ('Ha! I knew it.') and humans. They lived in harmony and some humans like to journey with their partner Pokemon to become a Pokemon Trainer. These Pokemon Trainers like to battle and travel around the world." Pokemon Trainer huh? I like that. "But my request is not on that world. ('Huh?') My request is on a certain region that only inhabitats Pokemon. No human was in sight on decades." No human on sight? How the fuck I will go and enjoy there if there will be a mass panic from the inhabitants? My confusion and frustration may be seeing in my face because Arceus chuckles at me. Jerk, that problem was legit. "Don't worry about it as I have a solution to the problem at hand."
The stones (?) that were floating around the Pokemon were slowly flown in front of me as my gaze yet again on the dark one. Because of that, I didn't see Arceus looking at me with a thoughtful look for a second until I look back at him with a questioning gaze.
"These plates ('So they are called plates.') have the power of 17 different nature in my world. There was no Normal-type plate. I can use it to change my nature of the plates I chooses ('He really like Kagami, no doubt about that now'). You will need to use these plates to feel what natures you are but we already know that right?"
I smiled. Because he is correct. I already know I am a Dark-type before I came here but looking at the Dread plate gives me confirmation I am indeed on that nature. I knew the name because the plate tells me. No lies, I swear. When the plates were in front of me, they give me their names and their types. Cool but it gives me the chills. Oops, sorry for the pun.
"So, what do I need to do? Do I need to touch the plate or something?"
The 16 plates go back to Arceus and the only remains are the Dread plate. I, once again gives him a meaningful gaze that asking permission to touch it. He just smiles and nooded. I stop looking at him and gaze back at the plate in front of me and look at it intently. What will happen if I touch this? Will this plate is the key to go to the place that Arceus says that he needs my help? I internally sigh. Seriously, my journey is not starting yet I have already a problem at hand. I froze then afterwards shake my head as I remember Arceus still did not tell me what his problem is and needed my help with. I almost smack myself. I said I will accept if he tells me about it first, yet I am ready to touch this plate! Baka!
"Arceus, before I touch this plate, can you tell me why you needed my help first?"
Arceus just smiles but why I get the feeling it was faked? I frowned internally. Kagami was like that too when I asked what happened to the world were residing. He, just like Arceus, smiles and tells me that the event happened decades ago and he can't remember much about it. I hated it. Ever since I woke up(?) in the Darkness I hated being lied to. Because once upon a time, I always lie to myself that everything will be alright. Just like I've done with Kagami, I put a neutral face in front of Arceus to hide what I am thinking right now.
"I understand. This land consist of 20 states, consist of nature types of different Pokemon. The land is called United States of Pokemon. I, myself, the President, and my Vice is a Pokemon named Mew. The land is peaceful but there are wanted Pokemons who terrors the land. And I want you to help me defeat them."
As he was talking about the region, I am starting to combine my knowledge about the Politics on both my own world and his'. First of all, one of the places I visited on was named United States of America, which is very coincidence to the name of the region. And those places are called states too. There are 20 states but there is only 18 nature types, so the only answer is the remaining two are neutral states. Secondly, with his short intro about the Politics in his world, I think it has a Democratic republic. But if it is really Democratic, why I feel it becoming Dictatorship or Monarchy? Because I can't see that Arceus be booted out on his position. Sigh. I will walk to the bridge when I get there. But my intuition tells me that this information will be important later on. And my intuition never fails me. Lastly, 'Wanted Pokemons'?
I internally sigh. I do that a lot nowadays. This is a risk, I know, but I was kinda curious too about these 'Wanted Pokemons'. If I refuse, will I be stuck here? I hope not because I may kill someone out of spite for that. And that name is Arceus.
"A question, if may I say, refuse to help you. Will I be stuck here? Can I become Pokemon Trainer instead?"
Arceus frowned at my question. It's a legit question, dammit. "That's alright. You can refuse. And no, you will not be stuck here but you can't become a Pokemon Trainer because I already put the USP's destination in the gate."
…
…
..
.
WHAT?!
"What do you mean by that?!" Fuck! It's a risk, but maybe I don't need to hunt 'Wanted Pokemons' for the rest of my stay here right? I need to make some conditions first before I accept. "No, nevermind. You said I can refuse right? I will accept but I will make a compromise. First, I want to travel in my own way! No escorts, guards, anything! Second, I will hunt for those I think will be really a threat to the region and the states. And lastly, I will do what I want for the rest of my stay there. I will not cross your boundaries but if you cross mine I will show you why they called me 'Death God', got it?" That moniker was slipped by Chrono when he tells me my past. He said they once called me 'Death God' but I think it was unintentional because he suddenly curses and clams up. He didn't tell me anymore after much probing.
Arceus now frowns heavily now. I know it was a bit much but I need it. Especially the last one. Because how could I travel if there was something blocking my path? I need my freedom to enjoy my journey. And also for making some allies and companions that there were no anomaly towards each other. I also gives reassurance (Or threat, my mind cheerfully added) to Arceus that I will leave him in his own devices if he leaves me be.
After what I feel an hour (5 minutes has just past) Arceus answers. "I understand but I also have a few conditions as well. First, you will be drop down to one of the neutral states. The residence and office I am residing is on one of the neutral state, Solaris. The other is called Lunaria, a state that was on civil was at the moment. Second is a quest, please stop the civil war on Lunaria. And lastly, please tell me if you are on Solaris-" In this, my eyes narrowed. "No you misunderstand. I just want to meet you and maybe show you a tour to the palace. So, what do you say? Do you accept?"
Hmm…not a bad one per se. Arceus is very cunning indeed. I will start on one of the neutral state, one on his office, and one on a civil war. I want to drop on Lunaria just to tick Arceus but it will be a problem because I don't know much in this world and it will be hard to move if all of the corners are on a conflict. On the matter on stopping the civil war, it will be doable. I want to go to Lunaria first to help immediately but like what I think on the first condition, there will be a problem. And also I need to gather information about it to not make any rash decisions. The last condition, surprisingly, has the least problem occurring. I can get a tour on Arceus' residence/office. But I can't gather much information if someone joins me. Decisions made, I looked at Arceus and gaze back to the still floating Dread plate.
I smirk. Cunning indeed. "I accept." I said as I touch the plate and there was suddenly a dark light engulfing me. It was a little unnerving. I suddenly gets smaller, and smaller, and smaller. The hell?! After the light fades away, I gaze at the ground and become too shock that I froze. The he…
Suddenly, a black hole appeared and, yep you guess it, it's in my feet. I just looked at Arceus with a bit of frustration and betrayal. That asshole just smiled and wink while one of his feet was moving left and right doing a parody of a wave.
But I will have the last laugh.
"WHEN I CATCH YOU, I WILL NAME YOU HM SLAVE!"
