Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Silver Darkness and Black Light

Chapter 1

Waking Up

Me : I have always wanted to do this. I had an idea buzzing in my head and I was fighting to myself if I should do this or not. In the end, I lost. To MYSELF. Can anyone said weird?

Disclaimer : I will not, will I ever own Pokémon. If you sue me, I got no money for you. Sad, isn't it?

We mourned for the lost of her.

She was everything to us.

Brave.

Strong.

Wise.

Smart.

Beautiful.

Witty.

And so many others words could describe her. But, she was gone.

We cried, hoping that she will be waiting for us. In the afterlife. In another life.

- Beach, 6:34 PM -

- Dusk's POV -

The yellow, sandy beach in front of me looked the same.

The same saffron sand felt the same, gritty as it dung into my paws as I walked along the shoreline. The water felt the same, a bit warm as it gently brushed away the golden sand under my paws and into the azure sea. The setting sunlight looked and felt the same; the sunlight was weaker as it warmed my jet-black fur as the sunset changed the normally blue sky to a glorious mix of gold, pink, and ruby red. The Krabby still blew their bubbles, dyeing them to the colors of the sunset.

Everything looked to be the same. I still looked to be the leader of Team Eon, still the cold and aloof Umbreon that girls would flock over to just breathe the same air as me. My sister, Dawn, still looked like the same teammate, the sassy Espeon that guys would just stop and stare at her. My best friend, Desert, still looked like the same easy-going Flygon, the always relaxed, never hurried dragon. We still looked like Team Eon, the famous exploration team of the Pokémon World.

But, looks are only skin-deep.

We were everybody's fools.

Nothing was the same.

"Hey! Bro!"

I knew that voice just about anywhere. I turned my head to the way I had just came, and yup, I was right. Dawn was running top speed towards me.

Dawn was beautiful, even for Espeon standards. Her fur was the soft shade of lavender and her eyes were the prefect shade of ruby red. She had a light blue scarf around her neck. Her forked tail rested lightly on my shoulder as she just looked out to sea. She sighed, turning her soft glaze to mine. I knew my sadness was breaking her heart and she wanted me to stop.

"Dusk, we got to move on. Crystal wouldn't have wanted you to be mopping around! She would have thought you were acting like a moron and would had hit you with a Iron Tail just to wake you up!" she said, her soft glaze turning into a fiery one. It didn't intimidate me.

I was a Dark-type. She was a Psychic-type. Do the math.

She sighed, once again looking at the blue sea. "Listen, all I'm saying is to stop acting like this. I understand that you want to mourn for her, we all do. But, the land of the living isn't going anywhere. We got to think about our jobs." she said, not looking at me.

I let out a small breath. "I know. But, Crystal was… Crystal! She was the toughest one of us all! Always trying out new moves and she was always the first to go into a dungeon!" I said, shocked that my voice that frantic.

She just looked at me, but her already wide eyes widen. Her tail left my shoulder as she walked away from me as she looked over to the rocky cliffs. Under them was looked like a Pokémon. It didn't look like it was breathing.

"Dusk! Come on!" Dawn yelled, running towards the fallen Pokémon. My powerful legs, toned from months of training, helped me catch up with her. We got to the Pokémon around the same time. And my heart was hit with such a pang of grief that I could barely keep on my feet.

The Pokémon was a Glaceon. Her sky blue fur was drenched with sea water, and her breathing didn't look so good. Dawn already poking the Glaceon with her forked tail, testing her vital signs.

"She's alive, but her fur is so soaked in water, her body temperature is low. We need to dry her off." Dawn said, biting off her scarf and with one paw was rubbing it all across her body. I took the blood-red scarf that was attached to my left forelimb off and did the same thing.

The words floated in my head, repeating themselves over and over, like lyrics to a song.

"You must live, you must live. You can't die on me again."

- Beach, 6:42 PM -

The first thing I felt was the rubbing of cloth on my body. The first thing I heard was the breathing of me, and two other people with me.

I could feel something gritty on my body, as well as the lapping of water at my feet and the feeling of something hard lightly touching my head.

I opened my eyes. The first thing I see was a jet-black leg, golden sand, and a couple of rocky cliffs. I turned my head up a bit. I could see an Umbreon, his red eyes narrowed as he rubbed a scarlet red scarf around my body. His movement felt stiff, like he was having a hard time controlling his muscles.

What the hell happened to me?

"Urg, dude, I know I had one too many drinks last night, but I didn't think I got that drunk so I would end up on the beach." I said, my voice sounding groggy and tired.

"Aw, she is awake." I turned my head to the soft voice. It was an Espeon, her lavender fur sparkling in the setting sunlight.

Well, no duh I'm awake. I opened my eyes and said something, that usually tells someone that someone is awake.

WHOA! WAIT A DANM SECOND! THAT ESPEON JUST TALKED!

Trippy.

"Thank Arceus." Mr. Umbreon Guy said, taking the scarf off of my body. The Espeon sighed, looking relived that I was okay.

"Um, where the hell am I?" I asked, getting up on my feet. The waters gently lapped at my feet as I glazed out to the sea.

"The beach. How did you get here? You were all wet." The Umbreon asked, cocking his head to the side.

I shrugged. "Dunno." I said, trying to remember. I couldn't. Weird.

"Do you remember anything?" the Espeon asked, still checking if I was okay.

I shook my head. "Nope." I said, feeling downcast. Why the hell didn't I remember anything?

"Not even your name?" the Umbreon asked.

"Not even that. I have no clue who I am. By the way, how are you two talking?" I asked.

Both the Espeon and Umbreon looked at me like I lost my mind.

"What do you mean? We're all Pokémon. We can talk to each other." Miss Espeon said.

WTF?

"What the…? I'm not a Pokémon! I'm a human!" I cried out. I didn't know anything, but I was certain I was a human.

The Umbreon rolled his eyes. "Well, look at yourself." he said gently.

I turned to the azure waters. I gasped softly, shock coursing through my entire body. They were right. I was a Pokémon.

I was on all fours, with a light blue pelt and darker blue paws. I had a tail, with at the end was diamonded-shaped, with the same coloring of the paws. My ears were on top of my head, triangular with dark aqua inside. Around my face, was two long tail-looking things and near the ear was a cap-looking thing, separated into three parts. Wow.

"I'm—I'm a Glaceon." I said to myself, still looking at myself in the water.

"Now do you see? I think you hit your head a bit too hard." the Espeon said.

"By the way, we didn't introduced ourselves. I'm Dusk, and this is my sister Dawn. We're part of an exploration team, Team Eon." the Umbreon declared.

Exploration team? What the…? Oh Arceus, I'm confused.

"Yeah, and what is that?" I asked, turning back to them.

"Well, well, it's the famous Team Eon."

Walking towards us was a Mightyena, a Weavile, and an Absol. It was obvious that the Mightyena was leading them. Dusk's eyes narrowed and Dawn's fur trembled.

"What do you guys want Team X?" Dusk asked, his tone low and menacing.

The Mightyena laughed, dark and cruel. He turned to Dusk, then Dawn, then me. His red eyes widen in shock and fear the second he laid eyes on me. The Weavile and Absol behind him had identical looks.

"Cry-Crystal? I thought you were dead!" he exclaimed, stepping a couple steps back.

Crystal? DEAD? What the hell is happening?

"Crystal? There is no way she survived! This Glaceon must be another one!" the Weavile exclaimed, her voice showing that she was a female.

Dusk opened his mouth, a black orb of dark energy forming there. The golden rings around his limbs, ears, forehead and tail glowed a bright gold.

"I suggest if you don't want to fight with us Team X, I suggest you go. Right this danm second." Dawn's words washed over me, making me shiver in fear, even though her wrath wasn't at me.

The Mightyena spat at the gold sand. "Fine then. Good-bye Team Eon." he said darkly, and with a twist of his tail he turned around and left, the Weavile and Absol following close behind him.

Dusk sighed; the black orb in his mouth faded. "I didn't expect those losers to come here." he said, more to himself then me or Dawn.

Dawn placed her forked tail at his shoulder, obviously trying to make the tense Umbreon relax.

"Dusk, who cares about Team X? Everyone in town knows to ignore them." she said softly.

"Uh, guys? Can either of you explain what the hell just happened?" I asked, completely lost.

Dusk let out a small chuckle, which made me relax. I thought this guy was all business, but maybe I was wrong.

"That's right, I forgot you didn't know anything. The group of losers you saw right now was Team X, another exploration team. They—" I cut Dusk off.

"Wait, what is an exploration team?" I asked.

"Well, an exploration team is exactly what is sounds like; a team of Pokémon who explore the world. Most teams explore new places discovered, in hopes of treasure or ancient artifacts. Others help out with other jobs, such as catching outlaws or escorting Pokémon to places that they wouldn't normally reach. It's a great job, but you have got to work at it. Being weak will never help you in a Mystery Dungeon." Dusk explained and I nodded.

"And what is a Mystery Dungeon?" I asked. The exploration team thing sounded really cool. Exploring the world, looking for treasure… that would be sick.

"Mystery Dungeons are places in the world where time and space are kinda distorted. The layout of the place changing everything you go in, so even though you may have gone in before and mapped it, it would be of no use to you the next time you went in. Also, you get really hungry in there as well. The reason because of that would be that because you heal at lot faster in a Mystery Dungeon, you get more hungry as your body repairs itself at a faster rate. Finally, there are wild Pokémon in Mystery Dungeons. They aren't like us, who can speak and reason. They will attack you the second they see you so you better be prepared to fight." Dawn explained.

Danm.

"And what about Team X?" I asked.

"Team X is a bunch of crooks. They go on missions just to get the money. They will rob you they second they see the chance. Their leader is that Mightyena you saw, his name is Nightmare. The other two losers are his right-hang chick, that Weavile named Weave and that Absol, named Sol." Dusk said.

"Well, we can explain more to you if you come with us. I'm guessing you have nowhere to go?" Dusk asked, walked towards me.

Should I go with these guys? Well, why not? It could be fun. Maybe… just maybe… I could ask to join Team Eon. Like I said earlier, it would be sick to be in an exploration team.

"Sure! Where are we going?" We were now walking away from the gorgeous beach and onto a dirt road. I got to say, walking on all fours isn't as hard is you might think. It's just about moving two feet at the same time instead of one. It was as easy as breathing.

"We're going to Linoone's Guild. It's there where Team Eon began. Linoone, the Guildmaster, was really close friends with our mom and dad. They three of them were in a exploration team back in the day, Team Sweet—" I cut Dusk off again.

"Team Sweet? Team Sweet? Are you kidding me? Who names an exploration team, Team Sweet?" I asked, laughing. Really? That was too funny.

Surprising, both Dusk and Dawn giggled. "That's what we said. But, all three of them said that Team Sweet was, well, a sweet name." Dusk said, smiling. He had a good smile.

We where at what looked like crossroads. There was a wooden signpost. There was three signs posted. On the top was on pointed down, saying "Beach", where we just were. Beneath that was one that was pointing to the left and right. The one pointed left said "Silver City" and one right just said "East". Wow, how creative. Lastly, the one on the bottom said "Linoone's Guild.".

"This is what we called the Crossroads. This is where there is normally a lot of traffic, but during this times, it's pretty quiet. Try coming here midday. Dawn said she has never been the same."

"What? It's freaking true!" Dawn exclaimed, sounding… sassy. I didn't think that she could sound like that.

Dusk rolled his eyes, looking much less… tense. Good for him!

"Come on, it's almost nighttime. I do want to get there so we can go eat." he said impatiently.

"Hey! Dusk! Dawn!"

We turned around to see a Flygon walking softly towards us from the east. He had a bag, dirty from obvious exploring was over his shoulder. He looked completely relaxed and an easy-going guy. Yay!

"Hey, Desert! Was the mission a success?" Dawn asked when he had finally got to us.

"Yup! It was easy. I just had to escort a Lopunny into the Emerald Woods to her best friend at the end of dungeon." Desert said, smiling. Then, he looked at me.

"Crystal? Is—is that you? I thought you…" he whispered, his eyes under his red protective glass and his jaw dropped.

Jeez, who the hell is Crystal? I know she died, from that jerk of a Mightyena, but do I really look like her?

"She's not Crystal. She was on the beach, unconscious. She has no memory no of who she is, she doesn't even remember her name." Dusk said darkly and Desert gasped.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know." Desert said, looking shocked. I shrugged, not really affected by that. "It's cool dude. I'm don't mind." I said, licking one forepaw. Yeah, it may seem kinda weird, but I don't give a danm.

"So, you're taking her to the Guild?" Desert asked and Dusk and Dawn nodded.

"Yeah, want to come?" Dawn asked, but Desert shook his head. "Nah, I need some rest. The mission was easy, but the client… not so much. Can you bring a Apple or two?" he asked. Dusk nodded.

"Sure." he said. Desert waved us good-bye and with a great flap of his red-trimmed wings he took off into the air, flying calmly to the west.

"That was Desert, one of the members of Team Eon. He's my best friends since we were both little. He is the easy-going guy, and one great friend when you get to know him." Dusk explained as we moved on from the Crossroads and onto some stone stairs. The stone of smooth, like these stairs were just newly made.

In front of me was a building, shaped in the likeness of a Linoone, it's claws crossing it's chest and under those claws was a heavy steel gate. In front of the building was a wooden grate. Touches with were burning brightly and merrily. The sunset had made the stone ground glowing in it's colors, awe-inspiring. I sighed, feeling much calming.

"This is Linoone's Guild. Linoone made this with our mom, dad and his head of intelligence, a Swellow named Aerial. The four of them were famous, even to today. Linoone's Guild is one of the more famous Guilds, and is commonly placed with Guilds of the same caliber, like Wiggytuff's Guild. In front there's that wooden grate, you have to step on it to come inside." Dawn said and she walked gracefully to the grate. She stood on it for about three seconds before a loud voice yelled from underground.

"Pokémon detected! Pokémon detected!"

"Who's footprint? Who's footprint?"

"The footprint is Espeon's! The footprint is Espeon's!"

"Hey! Rocky! You know it's me! Open up!" Dawn said, yelling down from the grate.

"Yeah, yeah, I hear yay Dawnz. It's just protocol."

In about ten seconds I heard creak of the steel door lifting up, in order for us to inside. We walked in.

Inside there was a wooden ladder. "Uh, how are we going down?" I asked, looking at my paws and then the ladder.

"Girl, we just jump down." Dawn said and to prove her point, Dusk leaped down, her soon after.

I shrugged and leaped down. It wasn't that hard. On the second floor… danm.

There was a ton of Pokémon on the second floor. Most of them were chatting about today and what they did, but some were looking at two bulletin boards. Everyone stopped what they were doing when we came in.

"Dawn? Dusk? Is that who I think it is…?" a Medicham asked, the voice tell it was a female. Her black eyes were wide with shock.

"No, she's not Genie. Where is Aerial?" Dusk asked, rather sharply, making Genie walk back.

"Did someone call my name?"

A large Swellow flew from the ladder that went to the third floor, landed carefully. His plumage was impressive to say the least, glossy navy blue feathers and sharp red talons. A guy not to be messed with.

"Cryst—" I cut him off.

"Before you ask if I'm this Crystal everyone is talking about, I'm not." I said quickly. I was getting tired of this. Seriously people, do I actually LOOK like her that much?

There was an awkward silence which Dusk broke. "No Aerial. She is a new member of Team Eon and she needs a place here." Dusk explained which made Aerial nod.

"All right then. Come with me." he said, flying down to the third floor. I followed him, Dawn and Dusk behind me. I landed softly on my paws, barely making a sound. Aerial was in front of a door with a picture of a Linoone.

"Hey Dusk, who was that Medicham?" I asked.

"That was Genie, she is the leader of Team Chi, an Exploration Team that is only has Fighting-types and Psychics." Dusk explained.

The third floor was as nice as the second one, bursting with Pokémon.

"Now, this is Lioone's quarters. Please be respectful of him." Aerial said, which I promptly and completely ignored, looking out a window. They have a pretty good view of plains and a few mountains.

"Come on now." Dusk whispered in my ear, making my body shiver.

Inside there was big touches like in the front with a large dark blue mat. I also noticed a bunch of round stuff all round the room. Odd.

"Linoone, this Glaceon wishes to join Team Eon. She needs a room here." Aerial announced, ruffling his glossy feathers.

Linoone turned around, a pensive look on his face. "Hello there! You wish for a room here right? I can do that! First off, what is your name?" he asked cheerfully, smiling. His dark blue eyes reminded me of sapphires, bright and sparkling with happiness.

"Uh… I don't remember." I answered, cheeks growing warm.

Dawn and Dusk both sighed. Dusk went into explanation, from where we found me on lying on the Beach to now. He never once said a word about Crystal.

"So… you need a name. How about Snowflake?" Linoone asked me, still smiling warmly.

Snowflake… not bad.

"Don't you think that is a too bit common? A lot of Ice-types have the name of Snowflake." Dawn said.

"Um… not Ice… too tough (I actually liked that one) and not Hail… I sorry. I just not good with names." Linoone said sorrowfully.

"Dude, it's cool. I'll figure something out." I said.

"The only name I can actually think of that would suit you would be Crystal." Linoone said absent-mindedly, which made Dusk narrow his red eyes.

"Actually, I like that name. Let's go with that." I said rapidly, looking at Dusk. He sighed, nodded.

Linoone smiled again. "Now that is taken care of, I always like to give new faces something for coming. Now, one sec…"

After about 20 minutes of going completely chaotic, Linoone found something. "Here we go. I think that this ribbon of go nicely with your fur." In Linoone's white claws was a sky blue ribbon. It was more or less the same color of my fur, but it did stood out. "Here, I'll tie it." he offered, tying it so it didn't choke me, but it was secure. It felt like pure silk on my throat, soft and smooth.

"Thanks!" I said, loving the color of it.

"Anytime. Aerial, please show Crystal to her new room." Linoone said and Aerial nodded.

"Come with me Crystal." he said, leading me to a hallway. Dawn waved her lavender forked tail at me, as a good-bye. Dusk rubbed his head against mine and whispered "Welcome to Team Eon Crystal."

The Swellow took me to a bedroom at the end of the hallway. It had one bed, complete with one window to look out of. The night had showed it's true colors of black, mixed in with the white light of the stars and the full moon.

"Thank you Aerial." I said, but he had already left. Rude little birdbrain…

I sighed, resting on the soft bed. It was nice, helping my muscles release out of it's cruel and strong grip.

"So, I'm a Glaceon by random stuff in the universe. Why does that sound like me?" I said to myself, grinning. For some reason, I felt like things like this happen to me.

"And an Umbreon, an Espeon, and a Flygon took me in to their Exploration Team. I have no memory of who I was, except for that I was a human, and another Glaceon with that same name as me is dead."

One thing was for a fact… I need some sleep, or I am going to have one hell of a headache.

Sleep came to me quickly, sinking me to it's dark depths.

- ? -

…She's here again.

I knew that she would come back to this world.

This was going to be fun…

Me : Wow… 14 pages. Long…

Anyway, lots of questions. And we won't get any answers soon! XD

Now, serious note. I want your opinion. Did it rock out? Did it suck ass? I need you to help me out and tell me what I can do to help. And I want your thoughts on the end, on who was talking. As you can see, it's kinda like the beginning of PMD 2/3, but kinda different. I took some ideas and warped them to my liking.

Crystal… well, she a bitch at times, and she likes to cuss a lot. And… a lot of guys like her. You will for a FACT see guys head over heels for her.

As for pairings… none so far, but soon you are going to see one hell of a love problem for Crystal later on. The thing is, she ain't good with romance. She knows when a guy is in to her (all girls know), but she isn't the romance type. But, she does have a crush on a couple of people…

I can't say anything more in fear of giving you the plot. Sorry readers. Anyway, REVIEW!

P.S. Cookies to whoever could see the song name! And, if you want to be in my fanfics, here is the form I want it in. Please note: If you have horrid writing, I will not take it! I want to be able to READ it, like how you're reading what I'm writing now.
