Chapter 1
A Storm At Sea, I'm A Pokemon!?

~.~.~

Two unknown beings were traveling when things began to get rough. One of them let out a paniced scream as she fell only to be grabbed by her companion.

"A-are you ok?"he called over the turbulance but his friend was struggling to hold on for dear life as fear cracked his voice, "No! Don't let go! Come on, just a little longer, just hang on!"

The girl's hand though was slipping, "I-I-I can't! I'm slipping...WAAAAAHHHH!"

And with that the girl's hand slipped from her companion's grasp, his wails of dismay lost to the abyss.

Thunder and lightning crashed the grey skies as waves rolled and crashed the cliffs of Sharpedo Bluff and the shoreline. Sending an eerie light on the sharpedo like cliff face. But it was not long before the storm passed and a rowen colored fox with fluffy tails, drenched to the core was washed ashore, coughing up lungs full of water. Before she collapsed, a weak and pitiful mess of fur. She groaned as she lay there, her sight very much going in and out of focus.

"Ugh...wh-where am I...I can't...dr-drifting off...uhn..."with that the young creature passed out, the last of her strength gone.

Dusk was starting to settle in for the day was done, casting pastel hues across both land and sky. Torches flickered and danced with buning flames that illuminated the area, revealing a rather unique building that looked like a wigglytuff's head. In front of it's gate was a round hole with a grate that kept pokemon from falling through. In front of it was a distinct blue and yellow cat-like pokemon with a concerned and confused look on his face.

"Hmm..."the young male shinx began to pace about.

He then finally stopped, a determined look on his face, "No, nya. I refuse to be paralyzed by this any longer! No more being a coward, I gotta be brave today!"

With his courage mustered he stepped forward and stopped on the grate when a voice spooked the young pokemon, making him move away from the grate. "Eek! That spooked me!"he squeaked. When the voices had stopped he let out a sigh of relief. But his ears drooped in shame for once again he had chicken out. Why did he have to be so easily scared and startled all the time? It was a real downer.

"...I-I can't...I can't believe I can't push myself to go in after all. I had told myself today would be the day I'd finally do it, but..."the young shinx looked at the strange fragment around his neck, holding it gently in his paw. "I thought my precious treasure would inspire me, guess I was wrong...Leon you coward."he sighed.

Disheartened, Leon left, tail dragging in the dust and head hanging low as he walked down the stairs. Unaware of the malicious intent of two pokemon that had been watching in the shadows and had decided to follow after him. Leon though kept going until he reached Crabby Beach. It was an amazing sight that eased and lifted his spirits as bubbles danced on the sea breeze as the waves eved and flowed on the sand, lapping at his paws.

He couldn't help but feel relief and delight for this was his special place to come when he need to think or lift his spirits. But it was also then he noticed something a little further ahead, something collapsed on the sand! His heart quickened as his fur bristled at realizing that something was a pokemon! "Oh no, somebody is passed out on the sand! Oh please Arcues let them be ok!"he thought as he hurried over.

"Oi! Hey are you ok?"he asked, gently shaking the vulpix. Oh please let this pokemon not be hurt or worse!

The vulpix groaned as she slowly came to, her eyes opening eyes as blue as ice. Leon couldn't help but feel how odd that was; Vulpix normally had brown or amber eyes.

"Hmmhnn...ow...my head."whimpered the vulpix as she sat up, rubbing her head with a paw. "Where the heck am I?"she thought, looking around.

"Phew, looks like you're ok at least."mewed Leon, startling the vulpix. "You weren't moving, so you had me very worried there. How did you end up unconscience there anyways?"

The fact a pokemon was talking to her was a confusing one already on top of how the heck did she end up on this beach! "I don't honestly know how I got here or why I fainted."she informed coolly.

"Oh, I'm Leon by the way."introduced the shinx, "So are you? I've never seen your face aroun' these parts."

"I don't know how I can understand you, but I'm a human."she explained, glancing her icy gaze onto Leon. It was a chilling feeling to him for her gaze seemed to see things, maye even right to his soul.

But what she said had shocked the young shinx more then her piercing gaze, "Nya!? Y-You're a human? But you look like a totally normal vulpix to me, excpet for your blue eyes!"

She was confused by his words; how could she be a pokemon? she was a human! But something in the back of her mind urged her to rise to her paws despite being sore and climb onto a rock to gaze into a tide pool. There looking back was not her human reflection she'd expected...it was a vulpix with her eye color! Her ears drooped as her face paled at this piece of shocking news. "Sweet Arceus...I'VE TURNED INTO A POKEMON!"she yowled, letting loose an ember attack by mistake.

Leon ducked from the accidental attack; if this vulpix could unleash that then there was nothing to worry about for her...at least he hoped so. But he waited for her to calm down a bit as she stopped and caught her breath before he began talking again, "Um, you're a little bit odd. Are you trying to play a trick on me?"

The vuplix turned her gaze on her and frantic shook her head, "No, I'm not lying! I really am human, or I was! I'm telling the truth, honest!"

"You say you're telling me the truth? ok what's your name then?"asked Leon.

Vulpix sat there for a moment, trying hard to remember but luckily despite everything else she couldn't remember one thing did come out to the surface, "Oh yeah, sorry how rude of me. My name's Destiny."

"Oh so Destiny's your name, hm..."Leon walked around Destiny for a better look before sitting down, his worries put to rest. "Ok, at least you don't seem like a bad pokemon. So sorry for doubting you there. Bad pokemon have been popping up left and right lately. More and more just keep getting aggressive and out of control as of late."

"It's alright, it's better to be cautious then a fool."informed Destiny, earning a thankful look from Leon.

Then out of seemingly nowhere two pokemon tackled and knocked off the fragment from Leon. It was a pair of males; a zubat and a koffing. "Well I do beg your pardon."said the koffing.

"Leon, are you alright?"asked destiny in concern for her new friend, who looked very pissed off as he got to his paws.

"Yeah I'm fine but as for them,"Leon turned his gaze on the two crooks, "What was that for you brutes!"

"Heheheh~! Can't figure it out can yeah? We wanted to mess with you. Can't face up to us can you?"sneered the zubat.

"Nya?"yelped Leon in disbelief.

Zubat then flew over to the dropped fragment pedant, "That's your's isn't it? I'll be taking that!" Zubat then flew over and snatched it up.

"Wait, that's-"Leon protested.

"Woah hohhoh! Not gonna make a move to get it back are we? What's the matter, too scared? I didn't expect you to be this much of a coward."teased the koffing before turning back to his companion, "Come on lets get out of here."

"Heheheh! Later chicken!"with that the duo fled into the cave.

Destiny looked over at Leon who looked so heartbroken. Whatever that pendant was it must have been important and precious to this pokemon. "That was my personal treasure...wh-what am I gonna do now? It meant everything to me Destiny."whimpered Leon.

"You need to snap out of it Leon, there's time if he go after them now if we hurry."Leon looked up in surprise.

"W-we? You mean you'll help me get it back?"Destiny nodded.

With a fire returning in his eyes he wiped away his tears and gave a nod and followed Destiny into the beach cave. Destiny and Leon did their best to keep quiet, not wanting to wake the water types that called this dungeon home. Destiny to Leon's surprise proved to a formidable foe and an invaluable ally both in and out of any fights they encountered. During this Destiny went on to explain to her friend she had no memories beyond who and what she was, nothing from her past or why she had ended up washed ashore.

Leon though had his guess that maybe Destiny had been caught in that storm that happened last night. On the way Destiny wanted to see what she could do, learning fast that on top of Ember she knew Faint Attack and tail Whip. Not a bad moveset in her mind. It was not long before they reached the end of the cave: an ocean inlet.

"Hey you, ugly and uglier!"called out Destiny, the thieves' attention.

"Uh, hey!"called out Leon.

"Well, well, well...if it isn't our ol' friend the big chicken."chuckled Koffing.

"Urk!"grunted Leon at the taunt.

"Stand your ground Leon, show them you're not afraid to stand up for yourself."Destiny whispered to her companion.

"G-give me...give me back what you stole from me! That's my personal treasure, it means the world to me!"snapped Leon.

"Treasure you say? So that thing is really valuable huh?"mused Zubat.

"Could be worth a hefty poke, I'd have to say. We outta try selling it, who knows? we may get a good price for it."agreed Koffing and Zubat smirked, "Woah hohoho! All the more reason not to give it back!"

"Why you lil-"snarled Destiny.

"What!?"squeaked Leon.

"If you want it back that badly, come and get it!"challanged Zubat.

"Gladly!"sneered Destiny, letting loose an ember attack.

Leon right then and there had something snap in him, he charged in to join Destiny as defiance flared in his eyes with vicious fangs bared. The duo let out a barrage of attacks on the two poison types, who were quickly overwhelmed by their team work and Destiny's feriousity. Defeated, the thieves fled and left the pendant behind.

Finally outside of the cave Destiny and Leon came to a stop to rest on the sandy shore of the beach. Destiny felt proud of her new friend; they got his relic fragment back. On the way he had explained how he had come across it. An interesting story to be sure. Leon showed her the strange pattern on it as they relaxed in the sunset.

"That's quite the pattern on there."noted Destiny.

"This pattern has gotta have some sort of meaning to it, I just know it! This relic fragment must be the key to legendary places to where hidden treasures lie! At least that's how I feel about it."said Leon in excitement.

"You really love history don't you Leon? that good to learn from what has been left behind."agreed Destiny.

Leon nodded, "That's why I want to join an exploration team."

"Exploration team?"echoed Destiny.

"Ah huh! This fragment has to belong or fit in somewhere! I want to discover where or what that is Destiny. More then anything I wanna solve the mystery of my relic fragment."explained Leon, "So earlier I tried to join an exploration guild as an apprentice...I but..."

"You got spooked and ran didn't yeah?"Leon face faulted at Destiny's remark so she took that as a yes.

"Sadly yes. But what're you gonna do Destiny? you've lost your memories and you've got nowhere to go and you've some how turned into a pokemon."pointed out Leon in concern.

Destiny looked up at the sky, lost in thought. What was she gonna do now? Leon had a point in the fact she had nowhere to go now or stay for that matter with this bad case of amnesia. But she was shaken from her thoughts at hearing Leon, "If you don't have anywhere to stay can I ask a favor from you?"

"Sure thing Leon."said Destiny.

"Would you form an exploration team with me? I really like how you performed in there and I feel like I could do anything with you by my side, Destiny."Destiny looked at her friend in shock as this felt so sudden.

Destiny didn't know what to do and she had no clue what an exploration team even was in fact. But after some thought she gave a nod, making Leon one very happy Shinx. It was true she had nowhere to go and had anmesia right now to boot. But she had a feeling if she stuck around this shinx she'd eventually find ot why she lost her memories and became a pokemon in the first place. So the two new friends with a goal set in their minds and hearts hurried towards the guild. This would prove to be the first step to many crazy adventures!
