AN: Honestly, I love the first dungeon of Explorers of Sky. And it's not even that exciting of an area, like Hidden Lands (another favorite area) or the future. I guess it's just that it's always been filled with good memories of my favorite game for me. Anyways on to the chapter, which is named after one of my favorite dungeons in the game.

Chapter 2: Beach Cave

(Evelyn POV)

… I guess if I am alone at the moment, I need someone to trust. I just hope she'll believe me.

"All I remember is my name and that I used to be human." I lie to her. Let's hope she'll believe that it is all I remember.

"A human? But those are only fabled creatures, and you look like a normal Eevee. And did you say you had a name?" Vulpix questions. Can't blame her, I was the only human left in the future and even before every other human died, they were believed fables.

"Well that's what I remember." I snap back at her quickly. She looks hurt for a second before calming down.

"Well if that's what you remember. But the name thing, that's a dangerous thing to have at the moment." She looks downtrodden and sad. What's the matter with names?

"What's the matter with names?" I question the thought I had in my head.

"Well, it's just that Pokemon with names are being ridiculed and being blamed for the arisal of Mystery Dungeons. Even though it's all the Legendary Pokemon's faults." She snorts and starts biting the necklace she has.

"Huh, which Legendary Pokemon?" I ask curious, as when researching this wasn't an issue in the history books.

"All of them. They are having a war over something and barely anyone has noticed, and Arceus decided to scapegoat the Pokemon with names that aren't their species name. I know that makes no sense, but I was there when Arceus gave that message to my village." Vulpix sighs and lies down in the sand staring into the sunset.

"I am one of those being scapegoated. Me, Amber the Vulpix, who up to that point the worst thing I did was take a Rare Candy from my Papa." The Vulpix I now knew as Amber relates to me.

"How long ago did that happen?" I ask in curiosity and intrigue. If I'm gonna be scapegoated, then might as well know some information on it.

"Two years. I was driven from my village, but not before taking their treasure and now they have a hunting party searching for me. The one place I know isn't ridiculed for names is Wigglytuff's Guild, among similar places. I just wish I wasn't a weakling and nervous wreck." Amber answers and I nod my head about to sit down before I see a Koffing and Zubat attack Amber, out of nowhere! How did they get here without us seeing?

After the two were done attacking the Zubat held up the treasure Amber was talking about.

"Heh-heh-heh. Thanks for the treasure. I'm sure this will sell well on the Dark Marketplace." The Zubat taunts before heading into the cave near us along with the Koffing after the Koffing sends a blast of poisonous air at us and we quickly dodge. Stupid thieves.

"No! They can't sell that! The village can't get their hands back on it. I swear by Giratina. Evelyn, follow me!" Amber yells before sprinting into the cave and I follow suit. I can't leave her to fend for herself, right?

"Look for the stairs. Descend down until we find them." Amber whispers to herself as we enter the cave. Suddenly I feel nausea as I see myself transported to a different room then what we were in.

"Evelyn. This is a Mystery Dungeon. Whenever you enter one it transports you to the first floor and to go further you need to find the stairs and you'll be transported to the next floor. Come on, I'll lead." Amber ordered me as she started walking down a narrow path out of the room. I sigh and follow.

As I enter the next room I notice a sleeping Shellos. Amber didn't seem worried, but what if they woke up?

"Amber. Aren't you worried about that Pokemon? Will they or won't they attack us?' I ask nervously as I am still unsure of how to battle in this new form I am in.

"Calm down a bit, Evelyn. The Pokemon in the dungeons wander around or sleep, and if they are sleeping they don't wake up unless you go right next to them. So if we avoid it, then we'll be fine. I've had to go through dungeons before so just listen." Amber informs me and I nod sticking next to Amber to avoid a fight.

Right as we get into the next corridor I feel myself get hit by an attack. I quickly turn around and see a Shellder coming our direction.

"Amber, a Shellder is after us. Should we fight?' I ask biting my tongue.

"Follow me to the next room and then we'll fight it. I've learned that it's better to fight in an open space than in these small corridors." Amber tells me and she starts running to the room and I run after and can feel small attacks continue to hit me. It feels like a Bubble attack.

As we get to the next room I see a staircase. Is that how we get to the next level? Can the Shellder follow us to the next floor?

I try to back up to a wall and accidentally bump into a Corsola. I guess that was a mistake.

"Evelyn, can you help?" Amber asked shooting Embers at the Shellder. Does she know that Shellder is a water type or not?

"I don't know how. Remember I don't know how to use attacks!" I yell at her while dodging the Corsola's Water Gun attack. Why were these Pokemon so aggressive?

"Then just tackle them. That will do until you figure it out!" Amber says now on the defensive against the Shellder.

I shake my head and tackle into the Corsola. Right as I am about to hit them I feel myself covered in a blue energy and hit the Corsola and they get knocked out.

Was that an attack? Tackle maybe? Eevees learned that, mostly the low levels.

I shake these thoughts and tackle into the Shellder with the same attack and they too get knocked out. Amber is panting and laying on the ground. If that was just one floor, then I don't know how the rest of the floors will go.

"Good job. I think that was Return. Come on. Let's hope we can find some Oran Berries before finding those thieves. Just touch the stairs and it will transport us. No Pokemon in this dungeon, besides explorers from the outside can use the stairs." Amber coughs out and I nod.

I walk up to the stairs and put one of my front paws on it. Instantly I feel the same as when we entered the dungeon and see us in a new room that is surrounded on all sides but one with water.

Amber is still coughing. Did the water attacks get into her mouth, as I know that always severely hurts fire types.

I notice a small seed next to an Oran Berry near the water. I go over to them and try to figure out how to pick them up. I decide to just push them in Amber's direction instead.

"Here's an Oran Berry and some kind of seed. I don't know what it is though." I tell her pushing the items in front of her mouth. Amber looks at the seed closely.

"It's a Heal Seed." Amber says before biting into the Oran Berry and Heal Seed. In ten seconds Amber shakes the water off her tails and gets up.

"I feel better. But that was strange, the Pokemon around here aren't usually hard to take down, at least here and at Drenched Bluff. Usually I can knock them down with two Embers and move on. But how did they handle, like sixty within a minute." Amber questions before taking a drink of water from the water surrounding the room.

"Do you have any other attacks, beside Ember?" I question her as I start walking out the one path out of the room with Amber close behind.

"Tail Whip and Feint Attack. That and Ember are all I know. I should have probably used Feint Attack but I panicked when the Shellder took more than two Embers." Amber tells me as we reach a branched path. Continue forward, or take a right turn? We stand there for a minute trying to decide. Suddenly I feel a headache come and go within seconds. I suddenly realize that turning right is the correct path.

"I think we should turn right." I tell Amber and she shrugs and follows me as we head down the path to the right. We enter a small room with the stairs in the center. I guess that I was right.

"Good guess." Amber tells me as she goes and touches the stairs. Once again we are transported to a new room. No water surrounding it. Just the cave walls.

I lead us to the path at the bottom of the room and we reach a dead end room, but two Pokemon see us, a Kabuto and a Shellos. I see Amber get nervous and decide to take the two Pokemon on myself.

I run at the two Pokemon before Amber can react and use Return and knock both the Pokemon out. Amber looks surprised but sighs in relief after what had happened before.

I flash a grin at Vulpix and continue leading us back the way we came and this time go through the path at the top of the room. The path leads us to the stairs and no Pokemon are around.

I touch the stairs and we are transported to a new room where we spot the Zubat and Koffing headed down the path on the left part of the room. I don't think Amber saw as they ran off quickly.

"We're going down the left path." I inform her as she looks around the room and sees four different paths. Amber tilts her head.

"Why the left path?" Amber questions. Yep, she one hundred percent didn't see the thieves.

"Because I saw the two thieves run down that path." I tell her bluntly and her eyes grow mad and she pushes past me and runs down the path. I quickly follow and find Amber shooting Embers at the two thieves as I spot the stairs in the room.

"Give it back!" Amber shouts in between Embers. She looks mad.

"Never! Take this!" Koffing yells and shoots a Poison Gas attack at us. I push Amber out of the way and take the attack meant for her.

I feel a bit ill but I ignore it. Amber uses Feint Attack on Zubat and knocks him into the wall. I stand up and use Return and knock Koffing right next to his buddy.

"Give! It! Back!' Amber yells with each word becoming louder and more anger filled. I see them start to hand the necklace back when I feel my legs fail me. I forgot about the poison. I start coughing and vomiting when Amber takes her eyes off the thieves.

The two quickly flee while Amber isn't watching and head to the stairs. I wonder why we weren't transported with them, since we don't belong to the cave, but I ignore that and keep vomiting.

"I'll go look for a Heal Seed or Pecha Berry. Stay here and don't move. The more you move, the worse the poison becomes." Amber tells me before running off down the path we came from. I feel sicker by the time she gets back with a Pecha Berry and Oran Berry held by her teeth.

"Here you go." Amber gives me the berries and I quickly bite them. Within a few seconds I feel better.

"Thanks. We should go after them." I tell her struggling to stand on my paws. Once I am steady Amber touches the stairs with her paw and we are transported to a big opening in the cave.

"We're at the end of the dungeon. And I see those two staring at the end of the cave." Amber informs me and I nod.

"Hey! Did you think we were out that quickly?!" I shout angrily at them and they quickly turn around.

"Heh-heh-heh. You wimps think you can take us? Then fight us!" The Zubat responds before quickly dashing at me and trying to bite me. Amber quickly shoots an Ember at his wings and he winces and flies back to his buddy.

"You two are resilient, but we will keep fighting." The Koffing says before launching another Poison Gas attack. Me and Amber quickly dodge, but the Zubat gets hit as he was on the way back to his buddy's side and couldn't respond.

While the Koffing is distracted by his friend being hit, I quickly use Return and charge Koffing and hit him into a wall. Zubat is unconscious and Koffing is pretty hurt.

"Amber grab the necklace!" I tell her and she nods and runs and snatches the necklace out of Zubat's talons right as he wakes up.

"You… two! Koffing, get up, it's not worth it. We'll get demolished by them." Zubat quickly flies over to his buddy and helps him up and the two touch a badge I didn't notice before and they disappear out of here.

"Thanks Evelyn. I wouldn't have got it back without you." Amber thanks me. I smile at her and feel happy for her. For about three seconds.

Suddenly I get a sense of my Dimensional Scream, but it doesn't occur. Like it wants to occur, but it won't. What could that mean?

"Come on Evelyn. Let's head out of here. I think we need some rest." Amber tells me and I shake my head. I must be imagining it. The Dimensional Scream only triggers near Time Gears and when we looked into it, none were around this area in the future. None were near any beach.

Amber taps the necklace with her nose and it glows blue and a bright light fills my eyes and I close them on instinct. As the light fades away I open my eyes. We were back on the beach.

"How did that happen?" I wonder curiously. Was it the treasure that did that?

Amber sighs heavily, "That always takes a lot of energy from me. But I need to use it to get out of dungeons. Not like we can go backwards in dungeons."

"Then I'm glad we got it back." I tell her laying in the sand. Currently it was pitch black out. Must have turned nighttime while we were in there.

"Come on, I have a place where we can rest for the night." Amber says picking up the necklace and putting it back on. As I follow her up the hill away from the beach my mind races with questions.

"How did I become a Pokémon? What's with that treasure? Why do I feel so at ease with Amber around? Where is Grovyle and Blossom? Why are Legendary Pokémon fighting? Did I really feel my Dimensional Scream in the cave?" I ask myself as the two of us walk past a small town.

We soon arrive to a cliff which hangs over the sea. I notice Amber drag a pile of leaves away from the edge of the cliff and I see a staircase down. Is that where we were going?

"Come on. I've been living down here since I got here." Amber beckons to me as she walks down the stairs with a small light on one of her tails. I follow her and Amber lights a fire in the center. I look around and see supplies and some nests. Amber drags two nests to the middle and beckons for me to lay down and I do.

"Long day, huh?" Amber tries to make small talk and I snort. Yeah it was long, no question there.

"Never mind. Get some sleep. We'll talk in the morn...in...g." Amber says closing her eyes and quickly falling asleep. I decide to join her in sleep and close my eyes.

AN: Amber and Evelyn are sooooooo cute (yes I am a boy. Am I not allowed to like cute things?). Eevee and Vulpix are two of my favorite Pokémon and they are adorable. Actually, the reason for these two Pokémon as the Main Character and Partner is that earlier this year I played this game again, with me as Eevee and my partner as Vulpix. Take a wild guess at the names :) Anyways, every time since that I've played Mystery Dungeon (like another two times this year) I've always been getting those two.

Anyways, Question of the Day is who do you like playing as in Mystery Dungeon (any of the games)? I already said mine for this game, but when I played Super Mystery Dungeon I loved it when I played as Treeko and my partner was Charmander. Ugh why must Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games be perfect? Anyways, good night and don't run into hordes of Zubats in caves!
