A/N: I have finally decided to write my own Pokémon Mystery Dungeon story. I love the game and maybe I'll do a Pokémon Black story with either the pairings of OC/N or OC/Cheren.

For those of you who've read Pokémon Arts, may know this OC.

Dean's POV

"I can do this, I can do this." I chanted to myself while pacing. I've always wanted to be in an exploration team but I chicken out.

I stepped onto the grate in front of Wigglytuff's guild. "Pokémon detected! Pokémon detected!"

I flinched. "WAAH!"

"Whose footprint? Whose footprint?'

"The footprint is Oshawott's! The footprint is Oshawott's!"

I jumped back from the grate, feeling sweat dripping down my face. That was just too scary. I started pacing again. "I can't do it. I'm too much of a coward."

I then pulled out my Relic Fragment from my bag. "I thought that if I carried my treasure, it would give the courage to sign up. Guess that didn't work."

I sighed, feeling the nubs of my ears droop. "I'm just a wimp, nothing more."

I then went down the stairs, not knowing I was being followed.

I arrived at the beach. The Krabby just started to use Bubble, making it a beautiful thing to look at, especially when the sun is setting.

I took in a deep breath. "Aah, just what I needed after a hard day."

I looked around the beach and found something that made my brown eyes light up.

"Aria!"

The Pikachu turned her head from where she was sitting, smiling and gesturing for me to come and sit next to her.

My eyelids started to droop while I slowly made my way towards her. You see, I've had a crush on Aria since two years.

*Two years ago

"Hah, get up, rat!" the Timburr yelled while kicking me again. I tried to get up but I was down again when the Timburr used Dynamic Punch.

He pressed his log on my head, making sure I can't lift my head. I closed my eyes, knowing Death was coming for me.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I heard a yell of agony.

I no longer felt Timburr's weight on me. I lifted my head weakly to see an angel. She was wearing a blue snapback backwards and her long bangs came out of the hole, her ears in a low ponytail. Her warm and soft green eyes were clouding with concern.

"Are you ok?" the angel said with a melodic voice.

"Am I dead?" I asked.

She laughed sadly when she touched my back, seeing the blood on her hand. "No, but you're getting there."

"Here let me take you to Audino and Chansey's Caring Dome," she said while picking me up. For someone who looks so delicate, she sure was strong. I looked back to see that Timburr had fainted and saw electricity dancing around him before I blacked out.

I woke up a few days later. I learned I had a concussion when I asked the Pikachu how long I was asleep.

I learned her name, Aria, and she told me what happened at the beach. Aria saved me from getting killed using a powerful Thunderbolt on Timburr. She then laughed when she said I kept murmuring on how I kept calling her an angel, making me blush in embarrassment.

Aria helped me get to my home in Sharpedo's Bluff making my mom, a Blastoise, and dad, a Samurott, panic and ask what happen. Aria explained what happened and my parents thanked her and let her come over whenever she wanted to help take care of me.

Six months after that incident, Aria and I became best friends. We'd pull pranks, make jokes, I'd teach her how to surf, we'd wrestle, and she's train me to get stronger.

I later learned that I've fallen in love with her one day when she was training me.

Ever since that day, we're still close and I never told her my feelings.

"Hey," I said while sitting next her on the rock.

She jerked her head upwards. "Did you join the guild?"

My silence gave her the answer. She put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll get in," she said with a reassuring smile.

"Thanks," I smiled back at her.

She nodded and turned back to the bubbled sunset. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

I turned to look at her, the light reflecting her beautiful face, my eyelids, ears, and tail drooping dreamily while I smiled stupidly and cheeks turning rosy. "Yeah, it sure is," I told her affectionately.

She whipped her head to look at me. "What?"

I snapped out of my dreamy state and blushed even more in embarrassment. I quickly looked away. "N-nothing, I was just saying how beautiful the sunset was," I said hastily.

"Oh," was the only thing she said when she had an alarmed look on her face. I tilted my head.

"What?" I asked before I was pushed and got knocked to the floor, my Relic Fragment popping out from my bag.

"Oops, excuse me," I heard a voice sneer.

I turned to see a Zubat and a Koffing.

"Hey, why'd you do that?" Aria yelled.

"Can't you see?" the Zubat said. "We wanted to mess with him. Can't face up to us, ey shrimp?"

"That's yours right?" the Zubat questioned.

I became alarmed. "Oh, that's-"

I got cut off by the Zubat again. "Sorry, kiddo. We'll take that!"

The Zubat then took my stone. "Aaaah!" I shrieked.

"Whoa-ho-ho," the Koffing said. "Not gonna make a move to get it back? What's the matter? Too frightened?"

My pregnant silence said everything.

The Koffing then laughed cruelly. "I didn't expect that you'd be such a big coward!"

He then turned to his partner. "Come on. Let's get out of here."

The bat then turned to me. "See you around, chicken. Heh-heh-heh."

I looked down at the sand sadly. "Ooooh."

I turned to Aria. "What am I gonna do? You know how precious that is to me. Aria, can you please help me get it back?"

Said Pikachu punched me lightly on the shoulder. "Of course moron. Let's go."

We then went inside the cave.

After battling a few Pokémon in the cave, we finally made it to the pit of the cave.

We found the two brutes and gathered up my courage. "Um… hey!"

The thugs turned around in surprise, and then the Koffing shot us a smug look. "Well, well, if it isn't our old friend the big chicken."

I sweat dropped. "Urf," I mumbled.

"G-give me back what you stole from me! That's my treasure and it means a lot to me!" I yelled.

"A treasure hmm?" the Zubat said.

"So, it's really valuable, huh? It could be worth more than we thought. We should sell it. Who knows? Whoa-ho-ho! All the more reason not to give it back!" Koffing said, laughing.

"You can't do that!" Aria yelled angrily.

The Koffing laughed. "What, runt? You having your girlfriend defend you."

I blushed while Aria ignored that and glared at the Zubat while he spoke. "If you want it so bad… come and get it," he challenged.

What choice did we have?

Aria only used Thunderbolt twice on Zubat while I used Razor Shell on the Koffing. I guess all the training Aria and I did paid off 'cause the two were out like a light.

We both panted a bit. I put my scalchop back on my torso and Aria's red cheeks were still sparking a bit.

They then moaned in pain.

"Ugh, we got banged up," Zubat groaned as the two got up.

"D-dang it! How can we lose to a bunch of wimps like them?" Koffing complained

"Bah, fine, take it!" Zubat then threw back my Relic Fragment.

"Oh," I said and grabbed my treasure.

"Whoa-ho! Don't think you're so hot. Your victory was pure luck." Koffing said, knowing that wasn't true.

"Yeah, remember that!" Zubat said hastily and they both escaped quickly.

We looked at each other, shrugged, then left.

I sighed once I noticed the stone was completely clear of any damages. Aria reached in my bag and grabbed a strong, thin rope.

"Let me see your fragment real quick," she asked, her hand extended.

Aria's the only one, besides my parents, I'm comfortable with touching my fragment, so I handed it to her without hesitation.

She poked the rope through the hole of my stone. She came from behind me and tied the rope around my neck, came back in front of me, and tugged it.

"There, that way something like that," she said referring to what just happened, "won't happen again."

I looked from my fragment to her, I blushed, smiled, and I could swear my eyes were sparkling. She really does care about me. "Thanks Aria," I sighed.

She gave me that smile that made my heart feel like it's popping out of my chest. She readjusted her hat a bit. "No prob."

We stared at the ocean and an idea popped into my head. I turned to face Aria.

"Hey, Ari," I said excitedly. "We don't you join an exploration team with me?"

She turned to look at me, a shocked expression on her face. "Me? In an exploration team?"

I nodded furiously. "Yeah, you were awesome back there."

She looked at the ground, shuffling her feet against the sand. "Oh, I don't know-"

"Pleeeeease Ari," I said with my paws clasped together and my brown eyes getting wide, my bottom lip pumped out.

She giggled. "Alright, fine." she gave in.

We finally reached the guild and Aria stood there in complete shock while I just stood there completely nervous.

I shook my head. I have my best friend/love with me. I can't back down. Now, I know I could do this. Especially when I have Aria next to me.
