Hey you guys. It's me, Kyroshiro, here with the first chapter of When the Memories are Gone. I know I said I would upload Tuesday, but Meh. I've been listening to the music in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and I can say that they are mostly sad songs. I already know about the songs since I've played Red Rescue Team as well as Explorers of Time and Darkness. My favorites would be Grovyle's Sacrifice, Memories of You, Life goes On and In the Morning Sun. That one especially since its the saddest one I've would be Memories of You. Anyways, enjoy!

_ Breaks in story
Disclaimer:Me no own Naruto and Pokemon.
White. That was all the boy could see as he drifted in the white vastness of nothingness. His form was that of a grey transparent being. He was drifting... drifting... remembering... remembering...
(Flashback)
The air was thick with hatred and anger as two boys clashed with one another. Their moves being the difference between winning and death. The move stealthily across the water of the valley as they gave it their all in their moves. The two separated from another clash, showing who the two were.
On one side was a boy no older than 13, with bright sunny blond hair and cerulean blue eyes that were slowly turning red, and then purple. His orange jacket was in shreds by this point as their clash had been going on for a few hours. He was wearing a headband with the symbol of a leaf as a choker, and he had two long links of chains tied up his hands and arms. His features were more feral as he looked at his opponent, his hands in a fist on his orange pants..
On the other side was the boys opponent. Rave black hair looking like a duck's butt and red eyes that had black commas swirling around. His clothing was a navy blue shirt with what appeared to be a red and white fan on his back. The boy looked to be 13 years old and was glaring at his enemy, his hands in his khaki colored shorts as he grabbed a kunai from it.
"Sasuke," the blond muttered the boys name. "Why? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" The other boy, Sasuke, just smirked cockily at the blond.
"Why Naruto," Sasuke told the boy, Naruto, as he held out his hand. "I'm doing this for power. Orochimaru-Sama can give me the power I need to kill my brother, and then I can go about reviving my clan. You wouldn't understand, after all, you're just a clan less orphan, you dead last." Naruto growled as the boy said this, a red cloak of energy growing over him as a single energy tail formed behind him and two long rabbit like ears were formed on his head. Sasuke's smirk grew as his skin turned a grey color and two hand like wings came out of his back, while a black shuriken formed at the bridge of his nose. "Let's see whose stronger. ME OR YOU DEAD LAST! COME... NARUTO!" The two went about, clashing once more as they threw techniques after technique, weapon after weapon, fist after kick. The battle raged on for a half hour, before the two stopped and prepared for one more attack. "Let's just end it. Let's end this battle..." Sasuke and Naruto thought over all of the battles they've been in, though Sasuke also envisioned his brother. "AND ALL THE BATTLES UP TO NOW!" Sasuke preformed three handsigns and put his hand down to the ground, while Naruto held out his hand.
The two looked at each other and sent each other sad smiles. The two then jumped the waterfall of the Valley of The End roaring down behind them.
"NARUTOOOOOO!"
"SASUKEEEEEEEEE!"
The two got closer and closer, blue and red nearing each other, before the two attacks connected.
"RASENGAN/CHIDORI!" The two attacks clashed with one another and the two yelled as they put all of their strength into their attacks. The two didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching them, high above them in another universe.
(Other Universe)
'It is time,' the being said as it glowed white. 'For the next human to save my world!' With that, the glow brightened so much, it blinded everything.
(Naruto Universe)
The two attacks were so powerful and equal in strength, that it covered the two shinobi in a dark black sphere, that had wisps of blue, silver, red and purple. All of a sudden, a white light glowed from the center, and started to spread outwards as the entire sphere of power was covered in the white glow. When the sphere disappeared, the only thing left was a lone figure, unconscious from exhaustion. It turned out to be Sasuke knocked out cold. Naruto was no where to be seen, and another figure found that out as they entered the valley.
(Flashback ends)
Naruto looked around. Well, he didn't look around like usually would, but rather felt around by extending his senses. He couldn't feel any life, and wondered if he had died, as well as if he had stopped Sasuke from leaving the village. He wondered how long he would have to be there, when his answer was given in the form of a transparent figure.
The figure looked horse like and had what looked like a half circle on each side of its midsection. It looked at the boy and Naruto felt as if it were smiling. The aura around the creature made him feel safe.
"Hello, Naruto," the being said, causing Naruto to 'freeze' in shock. The creature chuckled, a heart warming chuckle that made you feel as if you were a small five year old. "Yes, I know your name as well as what you are. I have say this now though. No, you are not dead, and you are in the void between worlds. I have pulled you from your world for something very important." The being let this information sink into the blond, before it continued. "Now, my name is Arceus, and I am what is called a Pokemon. In this world, Pokemon are creatures with extraordinary powers. In this world, humans capture Pokemon for companionship, for battling purposes, or to simple have a friend. What humans in this world don't know, however, is that their is another form of this Pokemon world." Arceus let that information sink. "In this world, only Pokemon live in it. There're no humans, but they are myths here." Arceus sighed as the Alpha Pokemon continued. "However, there are problems. Almost every hundred years, a new problem arises in this world. The first time, a meteor was on a crash course for this world, and would've destroyed at least half of this Pokemon world. It was with the help of a Human, who was turned into a Pokemon named Bulbasaur, and his friend, a Mudkip, that the crisis was averted. The peace afterwards lasted for only a hundred years, when another Pokemon by the name of Darkrai, tampered with a relic called Temporal Tower. Temporal Tower housed another Pokemon named Dialga, who watched over the Time Stream as well as items called Time Gears. The Time Gears helped balance the flow of time, and because Darkrai took the Time Gears, time started to freeze. Another Human, who came from the future in which time had stopped, as well as their partner, a Grovyle, traveled to the past, in hopes of stopping the Planet's paralysis. Darkrai, however, wouldn't have any of that, and attempted to stop them." Naruto was very interested in the entire story, as his attention was never waning. "Darkrai never planned on the two surviving and the Human was able to find a friend when he awoke, as Grovyle had gotten separated from him. The Human, however, was transformed into a Pokemon called Pikachu, and their partner was another one called Piplup, and the Human had lost his memories. The two were able to go on many adventures, stopping bad Pokemon, before they found Grovyle. Grovyle was seen as a villain however, and since the Human didn't remember anything, attacked Grovyle with Piplup helping him. Grovyle, however, was able to clear everything up, when the trio were taken back to the future by another evil Pokemon named Dusknoir, who was following Primal Dialga's orders. The trio managed to return to the past with the help of Celebi, a Pokemon who could travel through time. Afterwards, they managed to collect all the Time Gears, and find a way to Temporal Tower. Grovyle, however, sacrificed himself to bring Dusknoir back to the future, when said Pokemon tried to capture the trio once more. The duo that were left, Team Tempest, had gone to Temporal Tower afterwards, and defeated Primal Dialga, and then saved the planet when they put the Time Gears back into place." Naruto was in awe by the end of the story, and he was kinda giddy. After all, here he was, a Human, and from the way Arceus spoke, he was to be the next hero.
Naruto tried to speak, but found that no words would come from his mouth. Arceus knew what he wanted to say, though.
"Yes, Naruto," Arceus said as Naruto started to glow white. "You will become the next hero of the Mystery Dungeon world, the alternate Pokemon world. You will face many challenges. I have foreseen an evil that is powerful enough to try and take over the world. I know of your status as a Jinchuriki, so I shall remove that pesky beast from within you." A red sphere came out of the gray transparent figure, who turned white afterwards. Arceus then muttered some words, and the sphere disappeared, to somewhere unknown. "I must warn you though. Even though I have removed the nine-tails from your body, its power still resides within you. The Pokemon you turn into will have some alterations and I have managed to turn the maliciousness into something else. What it is, I'll leave it to you to discover." Naruto's form started to disappear, from his feet upwards. "Ah, yes. Before you go, I have to say that you will turn into the Pokemon you reflect upon most. I bid thee good luck, and I hope to see you when the evil had been vanquished." With that, Naruto knew no more.
(PMD World)
Naruto woke up to a beautiful moonlight. His bleary eyesight made it a bit hard to see, but he managed. He looked around and saw that he was at a beach. He saw some waves and that the water was very clear. He suddenly realized his throat was parched and ran to the water source. He lapped up some water, and sighed in relief as the cool water hit his throat. He closed his eyes and opened them again... only to see a strange sight. Instead of his reflection, he saw a small humanoid being. The beings lower body was black, while the head was silver at the bottom, and white on top with what looked like a silver horn on the forehead. He blinked, though he couldn't see any eyes. He waved his hand, and he saw the being wave its hand at the same time. He looked at his hand, only to see the black hand of the being. He put two and two together and finally...
"So I guess it wasn't a dream," Naruto muttered as he saw his hand moving again. He sighed, before he heard panting. He looked around, trying to pinpoint where the sound was coming from, when he saw what looked like another him running away from a purple snake and a purple gas ball. The other look-a-like had a white white body, white lower-half head and a green top-half with a red horn in the forehead. On her neck was what looked to be a black orb on one side and a white orb on the other that were connected to each other by a piece of iron. He saw the purple snake and gas ball corner the creature, before a red and green bug looking one rolled in. "I'm guessing these are the Pokemon that Arceus talked about... (sigh) Oh well." With that, he ran over to the group.
"L-L-L-LEAVE ME A-A-ALONE," the Pokemon, female by voice, screamed at the trio, who only smirked. "I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE MY MOST VALUED TREASURE!" The snake and gas ball scoffed, before attacking.
"SHADOW BALL," the gas creature said as an orb made of what looked like darkness/shadows formed in front of it.
"POISSSON FANG," the snake called out as a purple liquid oozed out of its fangs. The bug looked at the two as if they were stupid. Naruto had had enough, as he formed handsigns.
"WIND STYLE: GREAT BREAKTHROUGH," Naruto called out the wind attack as he blew the snake and gas ball away. Naruto landed in between the trio and the look-a-like. The snake hissed (no pun intended) at the boy.
"Gah, another Raltsssssss," the snake said as he glared at Naruto. Naruto just took in the information however.
'So, that's what the lady and I are, Ralts," Naruto thought as he heard the gas ball speak.
"No matter, we'll just defeat him as well, ain't that right Ekans, Venipede," the gas ball spoke, while Naruto filed those two names in his mind. The snake, Ekans he assumed, just smirked. Naruto was kinda annoyed, especially since the snake remind him of Orochimaru, the cause of Sasuke almost leaving the village.
"Yesssss, it ssseemssss sssso Gasssstly," Ekans hissed out as he prepared for another assault. His tail glowed purple, before he slithered over to Naruto at a fast pace. "POISSSON TAIL!" Naruto formed a cross shape with his hands and shouted out.
"SHADOW CLONE," Naruto shouted as two more Naruto's appeared. The move caused the snake to freeze and the other three to gape in shock. Naruto, however, used that break of concentration and attacked. The moves seemed to be coming from his mind as he repeated them. "CONFUSION!" Ekans was covered in a purple aura, before he was flung back at Gastly. Gastly, still surprised by the clones, was taken out of the air by the snake. The three Naruto's grinned as they preformed another attack. "PSYCHIC!" Both Gastly and Ekans were covered in a purple aura, while Venipede managed to evade the attack. The duo were flung everywhere, before they were sent into several trees. Venipede glared at the duo, before his glare hardened on Naruto and the seemingly forgotten Ralts.
"We'll be back, believe it bub," Venipede said, before throwing down a smoke bomb and leaving with his two accomplices. Naruto looked around a bit, before turning to the Ralts.
"Are you okay miss," Naruto asked, as his clones dispelled themselves. The Ralts nodded furiously, before looking at her treasure. Naruto could see it more clearly now, and they were definitely a black and white orb. Naruto grinned as he saw the Ralts look at him. "Well, I'm just glad I got to help someone out, before I was on my way. Stay safe!" With that, Naruto started to leave, but was stopped when the Ralts called for him.
"WAIT," she yelled out as she ran over to him. Naruto stopped and turned around to see the Emotion Pokemon running up to him. "I wanted to ask where're you were going and also why you're a different color from our species?" Naruto sighed sadly at the questions.
"Well, the first one is easy, since I honestly don't know where I'm going," Naruto told her. "As for the second one, well, let's just say that I'm different, ad let's leave it like that." The Ralts nodded, before she smiled.
"Well, since you don't have anywhere to go," Ralts said as she grabbed his arms. "I'm going to let you rest at my house." She dragged a surprised Naruto off to a forest. Who knew someone so small would be so strong? Then again, he was about an inch taller, so it wouldn't make a difference...
(Ralts house)
The Ralts had managed to drag Naruto all the way to a tree. Naruto deadpanned at the 'house', before he gained a shocked face when she knocked on the wood, and it lowered. (Kinda like those secret doors you see in Minecraft ir in a secret room of a library) She giggled when she saw his expression, before leading him in.
"By the way, I never got your name," the Ralts said as she turned flicked a switch, turning on the lights. Naruto saw that she had a basic little house. She had a bed, some barrels filled with apples and berries, and a water supply from somewhere. Naruto grinned again before he answered.
"Wow, you don't know my name and yet you let me in your house," Naruto teased, causing the Ralts to blush. He chuckled before he answered. "My name is Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki." Ralts nodded, a light pink tinge on her cheeks.
"My name is Alice," Alice told him as she handed him an apple. Naruto took it and thanked her, before biting into it and savoring the juiciness of the fruit. Alice looked at the clock on her wall, and saw that it was around 10:00. She saw Naruto was looking like he was deep in thought, and spoke. "Thanks again for helping me earlier." Naruto muttered a small 'your welcome'. "Those guys are always messing with me, just cause I'm not strong enough to control my powers. That and because I'm scared of joining the Rotom Guild." Naruto looked at her in confusion. "Well, the Rotom Guild is oe of many Guilds that help other Pokemon out who are stuck in mystery dungeons as well as explore said dungeons."
"Wait, whats a Mystery Dungeon," Naruto said, causing Alice to look at him in confusion and shock.
"Where have you been all of this time," Alice couldn't help but say, getting a shrug from Naruto. "Mystery Dungeons are places that have recently appeared. They have many rooms within them, that change all of the time. Wild Pokemon live in these dungeons, and will attack any other Pokemon that enter. There're many treasures within the dungeons, and many exploring rescue teams have become famous by discovering said treasure." Naruto nodded as the information was tucked away in his head. "It's always been my dream of being in a exploration team." At this Alice became sad. "But I've always chickened out whenever I try to go to the guild." Naruto looked at her in sorrow, before he brightened as an idea came to his head.
"What if I make a team with you," Naruto said, causing the female Ralts to look at him in shock.
"Y-Y-You would do that," Alice asked him, getting a nod in return. "Th-Thank you!" She cheered in her head and outside. "I can finally be a famous explorer. Alright!" Naruto smiled.
"And I'll help you the entire way," Naruto said as he laid down on the floor, suddenly getting sleepy. "We should get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow after all." Alice nodded as she got onto her bed, turning off the lights before doing so.
"Thank you Naruto," Alice thanked the black Ralts, who gave a snore as an answer. Alice giggled a bit, before falling asleep as well.
And that is chapter one of When the Memories are Gone. I hopefully hope that you guys enjoyed this. I have made some changes to it from the preview, being that Naruto's coloration is different as well as adding Venipede to the attackers. All Pokemon from every regions will be in this PMD Universe, so no worries. Also, I am telling you right now that I already have the last two members of the new team they will create. So no requesting a Pokemon to be added to their team, as I will ignore it. I will be accepting OC's for future rescue missions, OC Exploration Teams, OC Rescue Team (gasps of surprises), and some other things. Here is the lay down for the OC's however:
Name: Self explanatory
Gender: Look at name
Level: Look at above
Species: Look at above
Type: Look at above
Personality: Explain who they are and how they act. (Warning: I may screw up entirley on this part, as I have trouble with getting the personality of original characters who aren't mine.
Alignment: Good guys or Bad guys
Specialty: Are they a solo explorer/rescuer, a member of an exploration/rescue team, etc.
Something like that. You can add in other stuff, but I'll probably skip it to tell the truth. I won't be asking for OC's until chapter 5 or 6, though that may change. Baby Pokemon shall be uploaded on Tuesday, as will chapter two of When the Memories are Gone. Anyways, this is Kyroshiro, signing off! PEACE!
