Ink's Notes:

Whoops I made another update for this story let's get started.

As an FYI, there isn't much of a level system going on here, so characters might know moves that they should logically only learn at later levels because I think it suits the story for them to know them earlier on.

Day 2 - Part 1

Blue was woken from a deep slumber by the sound of labored breath, swishing air, and crunching dirt. When he opened his eyes, he attributed the sounds to Pink taking deep breaths, punching the air, and adjusting her footing on the dirt ground respectively. He groaned, sitting up and rubbing his eyes, drawing the attention of his new teammate. She looked over at him, then waved.

"Morning, Blue. Sorry if I woke you," she greeted, and he mumbled S'fine before pushing himself up and going over to the window.

His expression blanched when he noticed that the sun was barely up, and he turned to look at Pink in disbelief. "It's barely past dawn," he managed to say, his voice elaborating just how tired he still was. Blue was not a morning Pokémon. He usually woke up when the sun was about 45º up, not when it was only 10º over the horizon.

"I'm sorry," Pink apologized with a quick bow. "I always wake up at this time in order to train before the day really gets going, and-" Both fell silent. "I... always..." she repeated, fumbling over the words briefly. "Did I really always..."

Blue brought a hand to his mouth in quiet contemplation. It was too early for him to be awake, never mind thinking. "You must be a pretty dedicated martial artist," was all that his mind was able to offer at the early hours of the morning.

"Yeah... it's a little weird," Pink frowned as she crossed her arms and tapped her foot in quiet contemplation. "I've lost my memory, but I still remember how to fight, and it's like my body's automatically adjusted to the size and weight difference... you'd think that losing my memories would result in forgetting how to fight, but if anything, it almost feels like I'm better at it now..."

Blue rubbed his forehead. That was odd. Highly unusual, even. Then again, it was also highly unusual that a human would become a Pokémon, especially one that was apparently a talented fighter. A thought dawned on him, and he brought his gaze to meet her own. "Maybe you're using your attacks as a Pokémon to power up your martial arts?"

Pink stared at him, and he promptly realized that she probably had no idea how to use her attacks as a Pokémon. "Like, um... like this." He sprayed a Water Gun upwards, allowing it to splash onto himself. This had the added bonus of waking him up fully, and he shook himself out to get the excess water off of him. He noticed that Pink was staring blankly at him, and he waited for her to calm down.

"...How did you do that?" she asked when the initial shock wore off.

"It just... comes naturally to me, I guess," Blue frowned. "I just sort of figured out how it works one day. Gather water in my mouth and shoot it outwards." He thought for a moment. What sort of moves were Clefairy known for...? "Hmm... Like, your species does this thing where they wag their fingers and then weird stuff happens."

"Where we wag our fingers..." Pink lifted her hands and began wagging her fingers back and forth, back and forth. Blue noticed her fingertips start to glow white, and wondered what was about to happen.

He yelped and pulled himself into his shell when a light bluish-white ball of energy surrounded by electricity began forming above her hands, only growing larger, until she yelped in shock and jumped backwards, pushing the ball of energy forwards as she did so. The Freeze Shock attack shot into a nearby wall, blowing a large hole in it before freezing the hole over.

It wasn't long before Chatot came scrambling into their room, asking what in the world had happened, and Pink began apologizing profusely while Blue slowly pulled himself out of his shell, still in shock. One awkward explanation later, Chatot was leaving the room, muttering about how this would affect the guild's finances, while Blue and Pink were making sure they had everything ready for their first exploration.

When they entered the main room of the guild, they were greeted by a Shroomish and a Gastly calling themselves Team Ghrass, who gave them a tour of the guild. The tour ended with them being shown the Mission Board, where requests for rescues were held, and the Exploration Board, where requests to explore new places were held. Blue and Pink decided to tackle a mission from the Exploration Board first, a request to investigate a suspicious area known as the Unknown Relic.

(They'd picked this one because it was a relic, likely an old place that might hold information on humans, and that might help them figure out what Pink was doing in the world of Pokémon.)

Team Ghrass had taken them to Treasure Town in order to help them get a few necessary supplies, before leading them to a pair of Rapidash who were employed by the guild to take Pokémon to the places that they were going to explore. Team Rangers bid Team Ghrass farewell, then climbed on the backs of the Rapidash. Before long, they were speeding off, away from Treasure Town and towards this Unknown Relic.

After about half an hour of travel, the Rapidash suddenly pulled to a halt. "I've just remembered," the one carrying Blue spoke up, "I need to do some shopping for my daughter."

The one carrying Pink nodded in agreement. "Yes, my husband asked me to pick up some berries today... I had best take care of that before I forget." They lowered themselves to allow their passengers off, and Pink bounced off, though Blue seemed a bit uneasy.

"Hey, Pink, we haven't forgotten anything, have we?" he asked as he slowly slipped off of his ride's back.

Pink looked at her teammate. "No, we double-checked before we left, remember?"

Blue nodded, crossing his arms and adjusting the pack that was at his side. "I just feel like there's something I need to do, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is."

Pink smirked. "You're not getting nervous, are you?" Blue sputtered out an Of course not!, but it was lost when Pink began walking towards their destination. "Come on, it's not much further now."

Blue picked up the pace so he was walking alongside Pink, then frowned and crossed his arms. "...This is weird. You really don't think we've forgotten something?" When Pink looked at him, he elaborated. "The closer we get to this place, the more I feel like I need to go back for some reason. It's just... really weird. The Rapidash headed back, too. You don't feel anything?" Pink shook her head, and Blue seemed to come to a realization, hitting his palm with his fist. "Oh! Maybe only Pokémon can feel it?" When she looked at him, confused, he continued. "Like, when Pokémon get close to this place, they have a sudden urge to go back, but because you used to be human, it doesn't affect you?"

Pink nodded as the two arrived outside of the ruins that were their destination. The door that was the entryway was in pieces, broken and worn down from the passage of time. Pink ran her hand along the structure while Blue seemed a little bit shell-shocked.

"...it's gone," he muttered.

Pink turned to look at him. "What?"

"The feeling that I need to be somewhere else. It's gone."

Pink thought about this for a moment, then nodded. "Shall we check out what this place is hiding, then?"

Blue grinned. "I thought you'd never ask."
