Ok, so this is based off of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 (PMD 2) The main characters are the hero, a Fpikachu, and the partner, a Mcharmander.

In this story I imagined all the pokemon to look human, only with the tails, ears, and behaviors of that pokemon. I mostly do this so I don't have to bother we anatomy differences that could hinder the story. (Such as a four legged pokemon hugging) I'm sorry if you don't like that, you can always just use your imagination to pretend that they are animalistic and skip over body descriptions.

DISCLAIMER: I unfortunately do not own pokemon…

Team Light: Chasing away the Darkness

Chapter 1

A flash of lightning lit behind her closed eyes. She could feel the heavy rain against her face and I heard a voice calling out to me.

"W-whoa! Are...Are you ok?"

Another crash broke through the air. Everything was dark. She wanted to open her eyes but her lids seemed so heavy and her body felt so sore that she couldn't bring herself to answer the concerned voice.

"No! Don't let go! Just a little longer...Come on! Hang on!"

Lightning struck again.

"N-n-no! I can't...hold on...!"

She could hear his voice straining and becoming frantic with fear. Her heart sank.

And he let go.

"Waaaah!" he screamed and she could hear him getting fainter and fainter as they were pulled further and further apart.

The thunder rang deep in her ears as the lightning flashed twice more. She began to panic, she was alone now and could tell she was falling by the painful whipping of air that stung like needles.

She hit water. This wasn't like jumping into a pool with your friends and splashing about on a hot summer's day. No. She was tumbling through the air and had the wind knocked out of her like she had slammed into a brick wall.

She tried to take in air, but got a lungful of ocean. She frantically began trying to swim, but it seemed hopeless as she tried to cough up the water and breath. She finally brought herself to open her eyes and try to find land, but all she could see was the crashing waves around her.

She looked up to see a perious cliff and her heart soared. If she could only make it over there, maybe she could hang to a rock until the storm passed...

She began to swim (or at least try to swim) over, but another bolt of lightning stopped her in her tracks. It flashed directly behind the cliff, illuminating the menacing face of a sharpedo. Her heart stopped in fear, and she became woozy.

That's when the white waters sweeped her up and thrashed her against the rocks. Repeating and repeating as it battered her already bruised body. She began to loose consciousness, and her eyes fought to stay open. 'I'm gonna die' she concluded.

The last thing she saw was the great sharpedo's sharp gaze.

~LATER~

"Where...where am I?" she finally said aloud. The sun was bright against her eyes, and her throat protested in pain. Above all she could feel her energy giving out, and her eyelids drifting close. But at least she could tell that she had somehow managed to safely make it to shore "I-I can't...Drifting off..."

And slumber claimed her once again.

"Hmm..."

The nervous charmander folded his arms and looked up anxiously at the wigglytuff shaped tent. He was in deep contemplation and began pacing back and forth before suddenly stopping with steady resolve.

"No. I refuse to be paralyzed by this any longer! This is it. I have to steel my courage today." But despite the determined glare in his eye, his voice, as well as his knees, were trembling greatly. He shook it off and took two firm steps foward and on top of the criscrossed crate in front of the entrance.

"Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!" came a cute, slightly childish voice from beneath his feet. "Whose footprint? Whose footprint? The footprint is Charmander's! The footprint is Charmander's!"

"Waah!" the charmander was immediately shocked at the unknown voice and lurched backwards in surprise. He looked around frantically for a few moments before sweatdropping and sighing in relief.

"...I can't...I can't work up the courage to go in after all..." His eyes drifted down to his feet, and his lips quivered, "I told myself that this is the day, but..."

He took off his necklace and placed it in the palm of his hand. "I thought that holding my treasure would inspire me..." His sad gaze firmly set on the rock with strange markings on it. He had worked all night trying to chisle a small hole through it without breaking it, just so he could loop the black string in it and carry it around his neck. But he supposed all that work was for nothing, since he wimped out anyway.

He carefully put it back on, and sorrowfully looked back up into the eyes of the wigglytent. "I just can't do it", he sighed,"I'm such a coward" and with that he turned around and began to aimlessly trudge off somewhere. He didn't really care where he went, just anyplace that wouldn't remind him that he was a disappointment to life.

Little did he know that two maliscious pokemon had been watching his entire monolouge, and had nothing good planned.

"Hey Zubat," the round, overjoyous koffing inquired his partner."Did you get a load of that?"

"You bet I did, Koffing." The Zubat replied. Zubat tended to always keep his mouth open, just to flaunt his razor sharp teeth to everyone. But seeing as he only had four, and they were very tiny, no one was ever really intimidated.

"That little wimp was pacing around...had something good, right?" Koffing gleefully questioned. Making fun of people always put him in a good mood.

"That wimp had something, that's for sure." The more level-headed zubat reiterated. "Looked like some sort of treasure."

"Do we go after it?" Koffing was more of a follower, he just goes with the flow.

"We do." Zubat would never miss a chance to piss people off and make their lives worse. So they nodded and began heading after the wandering Charmander.

Yep, nothing good at all.

Charmander hadn't really been paying attention to where he was going, but eventually ended up on the beach. The krabby were out and blowing bubbles into the air. This helped them train their control of water, but most people just liked the view of the bubbles in the air. So when one stray orb floated in front of the charmander's face he was taken out his depressing trance and looked at where he had ended up.

The sun was going down behind the sea's horizon and turned the sky into a charming swirl of soft yellows and salmon pinks. The sunset's last rays reflected off the ocean and flitted through the bubbles that danced above the water and along the shore.

His breath caught in the scenery of the sparkling ocean and he calmly sat down. He felt a little silly when he realized this is where he always went when he was throwing a pity party, but it was calming never the less. Following the bubble's trail down the beach his eyes caught something that shouldn't be there.

Curious he hopped to his feet to see what it was. Upon getting closer he was alarmed to find someone collapsed on the beach, and began running over to help, ignoring the annoying sand that wiggled into his shoes with each step he took.

"What happened?" he yelled as he bent down next to the girl "Are you ok?" Based on her two long yellow and black tipped ears, lightning bolt tail, and bright red cheeks, he concluded that she was a pikachu. With closer inspection, he saw she was obviously a girl; with her shoulder length blonde hair, simple but flowy white dress, and sizable chest. He was especially interested in that. They weren't huge, but definitely weren't small, they were just right for her small body.

But then she was starting to wake up and he forced himself to look elsewhere. What was he thinking? She was unconscious, and he was checking her out! But he couldn't help it with the way her dress was riding up...

"You're awake! That's a relief." he forced out before he embarrassed himself further. But she didn't notice, as she was too busy taking in her surroundings.

The pikachu furrowed her eyebrows in deep thinking. 'W-where am I?'

The charmander, seemingly determined to make himself look more stupid while trying not to make himself look more stupid, kept rambling on. "You weren't moving at all. I was seriously worried! Do you remember how you ended up zonked out here?"

'I-I was zonked out? What happened?' the pikachu kept thinking to herself, rather than speak her thoughts out loud.

Well, my name's Blaze. Nice to meet you!" he finally revealed "And what's yours? I've never seen you around here before." Now that he thought about it, he had never even seen a pikachu before, but only seen them in books. It was rather strange for one to be this far out.

"Huh, I'm a human..." she finally said aloud. She noticed his flaming tail and was quite confused as to why the pokemon was even talking to her.

"WHAT? But, you look like a totally normal pikachu to me!" Oh shit, he always ends up with the crazies.

Panicing, the cute little pikachu started patting her head, and finding ears there, began stroking them to see if they were real. Giving a fearful glance behind her, she saw the lightning bolt shaped tail sticking out of her butt. Her eyes went wide as she made a mad dash to the water to see her rippled pikachu face reflecting in the water.

Blaze had considered walking off and pretending this didn't happen. But seeing how distressed she was, he didn't want to leave her alone.

"Oh-oh mew, you're right..." She wanted to break down sobbing, she wanted to cry herself to sleep and wake up to find this was all some sort of weird dream. But she knew Blaze was watching her, and her pride wouldn't ler her cry in front of anyone. So she sucked it up and tried to discretely wipe away any tears in her eyes before turning back to Blaze.

But he had noticed. He felt his heart do an unfamiliar b-bmp for the psycho girl.

"Actually, I can't remember anything! How I got here, where I'm from, who am I? Oh mew, oh mew, oh mew."

"You're...a little odd...Are you trying to pull some sort of trick on me?" he finally interrogated.

She quickly looked shocked at his acqusation and rapidly shook her head 'no', her light blonde hair swinging about her face.

"You're telling the truth? All right, then. You're name?" he wasn't completely sure if he believed her, but based on her convincing demeanor, he was getting there.

"...Chupi." she slowly answered after thinking. She surprisingly remembered this little tidbit. It was pretty lame name, she had to admit. And now that she was a pikachu, it was just plain ironic and cruel.

"Oh, Chupi is your name? That's cute." he said grinning. Oops, it was out before he thought it, and she glared when she thought he was mocking her."I mean, well, it's just that, it really is! It's adorable!" He began stuttering and waving his hands about in embarrassment "I'm being serious..."

At his honest compliment, she stopped glaring and gave a sweet smile. Looking down she mumbled "Sorry, most people would make fun of it so I thought that you...No one ever told me that it was cute..." she trailed off blushing.

He grinned again, before gaining the confidence to reach out and pat her on the head. She had to be at least a foot shorter than him, and he enjoyed it to no end. "It's alright." He removed his hand to fold it across his chest. His broad, muscular chest, she noted. "You don't seem to be a bad pokemon, at least." After a moment pause he finally concluded:

"Alright, I believe you. Sorry I doubted you." He smiled at her before getting a serious face," Y'see. More and more bad pokemon have been turning up lately. Many have even gotten aggressive. Things have gotten lawless..."

Ironically, just as he said that Zubat and Koffing marched up to the pair, turning and punching the unsuspecting charmander in the jaw so that he fell down and snatched up his rock necklace.

"Do you know how fricking long it took to find you?" Zubat yelled, chest heaving no doubt from having to run around looking for him.

"What the hell was that for?" Blaze angryly retorted rubbing his sore jaw, his fire type side finally showing. Chupi found herself staring in amazment at his sudden passion.

"You can't figure it out?" Zubat mockingly asked "We wanted to mess with you! Can't face up to us, can you?"

"W-what?" Blaze asked shocked and understandably confused. I mean, really, what the heck kind of reason was that to punch someone in the face. Either they're just stupid, or truly evil.

"And, this is yours, isn't it?" Zubat said swinging the necklace on his long, clawed index finger.

"No! That's-"

"We'll just be taking this." Zubat interrupted.

"Whoa-ho-ho," Koffing stupidly laughed "Not gonna make a move to get it back? What's the matter? Too scared? You're such a coward!"

"No, he's NOT!" Chupi suddenly making herself known. "He's very brave! He saved me and stuck by me, even when he could have just left me here to die. He's a hero!" She tried her hardest to glare the boys, but being so little, it was cute.

Blaze looked back at her in astoundment. No one ever stood up for him before, no one ever called him brave (not even himself), and certainly no one had ever called him a hero.

"Hey, who's the cutie?" Zubat drawled as he began approaching her. She fought the urge to gag and stepped back from his advance.

Thankfully Koffing, for whatever reason (most likely he was bored), brought Zubat back to his senses. "Forget it Zubat, she's with the wimp. Let's just take his treasure and go."

"Fine. See you around chicken." Zubat sneered "Heh-heh-heh."

And with that that walked off into a cave, necklace in tow.

Once they were out of sight, Chupi looked back at Blaze. She was pretty hasty most of the time, and she hoped she didn't embarrass him. But all she saw was his downcast sorrowful look, and she felt her heart breaking just looking at it.

"...Ohhh...Wh-what should I do?" Looking up and seeing her sad but confused face he began explaining "That's my personal treasure. It means everything to me. If I lose it..."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Chupi asked with a smile "Let's go get it."

"Huh? You would really help me?" She had just met her, and she was being nicer then anyone in town had been to him.

"You bet'cha. You're my hero, I'd do anything for you!" she stated like it was nothing and smiled even bigger. But seeing his amazed face, she started to think about her words and blush at the meaning, but didn't say anything more about it. She meant every word after all.

His face broke out into the biggest, toothiest grin she ever saw and she could see he had pronounced fangs. He grabbed her hands in his and hopped up and down "You'll really help me? Seriously?" he yelled with sparkling sky blue eyes "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He kept hopping up and down with her.

"Don't thank me yet, we still have to go get it."

"Oh, yea. Let's go!" he yelled before charging into the cave, Chupi giggled slightly at his mood swings, but heading off after him.

So yea. That's the first chapter. Next time Chupi and Blaze will face down the two goons after a long trek through the seaside cave. Till next time!
