DISCLAIMER: I don't own Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon. All characters in this so far, aside from Rose, are not mine. They all belong to Nintindo.
Well, everyone. Here's the start of a brand-new crossover fic, (to most people, anyway). And before anyone here complains on how common Pokemon/MLP crossovers are, let me just clarify something very quickly: this is actually a re-boot of an old fan fiction on my original account. And secondly, that fic had been around WAY before My Little Pony became such a sensation among its many fans.
Basically, this is how it went: it was my first story to ever mark my time on this site, despite how poorly written it was... I was young and unexperienced at the time, so it was only natural. Now, why did I never finish it? Because, I was smart enough to know that I wasn't going anywhere with it. I just felt like I was making up some of it as I went, a lot of it was cliche', and my characters weren't nearly as developed as I had hoped. Over the years since I stopped the project, I've learned quite a bit on how to make a believable character, so I've now learned from all of my past mistakes...
But, finally... I now know how I want this thing to go; the plot is a bit similar to the original, but with some drastic changes to the actual story. Plus, it's MLP G4, unlike the third gen., (which I don't hate on, BTW. I've always had respect for the older generations).
To be perfectly honest, I don't exactly know how often I'll update this; I've got my other fics to work on, plus a couple of oneshot fics, both MLP and Total Drama. But, I guess whenever I get great new ideas and when the inspiration takes over, (just like it did when I wrote this prologue), I will update this. Just don't expect it to happen too quickly or anything, alright?
Also, I know I probably should've changed the title since the plot has changed a bit, but what can I say? The title has really grown on me over the years, plus I just like the way it sounds.
Sorry if this isn't much for now, but I hope you all enjoy this. And please be sure to R & R!
Prologue: Everlasting Darkness
Darkness. It's the only thing I've ever known of my entire existence, and it's the one thing that keeps me safe and secure, (at least from what my master has told me). Along with him, the darkness is my guidance. It is my key to survival here, to the harshness we all know as life. It's all very natural to me, really. I've been living here long enough to know that there's no point in trying to fight the darkness. Plus, why would I really want to anyway? I'm perfectly happy just being here.
Where I come from, the darkness continues to cast itself down upon me, not a glimpse of light anywhere in sight. The winds never blow, not even the tiniest of gusts make it through here. The lifeless trees remain rooted in the dirt, the dead bark from them as black as charcoal. The planet has been "paralyzed", or at least that's what my master always tells me; he explained on numerous occasions that time is at a complete standstill here. While I can't help but seek his knowledge for the answer, he prefers that I not ask him any questions, in fear of putting myself in harms way; I give him my respect for always looking out for me.
However, I've yet to learn just what it truly means to live, something of much greater value than what I've already been given. This is my story, and it's about to unfold.
