Chapter 1: The Crash

It was a peculiar day in the Junya region. Yes, everything was peaceful. Wingulls and Starlys were flying throughout the sky. Corsolas and Relicanths swimmed deep within the sea. Kricketots and Zigzagoons shared apples and berries, exploring from tree to tree.
But it was the first and last day you would ever witness an Amaura coming from the sky.

—

Terrence's day was going well. He found pleasant his surroundings, for someone who whined for everything. He went to buy some berries from the Kecleon's Shop, and found himself admiring the environment.

He enjoyed watching the peacefulness of Blissful Town, which lives up to its name.

He was usually a grumpy pokémon, but that day, was different. Terrence remembered to keep up his guard, though. He knew such a day was too good to be true.

And upon going back to his home, he knew he was right.

Emma woke up to the unpleasant sound of a creature whining in front of her. Its body was yellow, and had for a head a grey oval. It resembled a tiny dinosaur.

"And my day was going so well. I thought maybe, just maybe, today was the day I wouldn't have a reason to whine. I should have kept my expectations lower, because otherwise I wouldn't be this underwhelmed by the sudden appearance in my house of an Amaura!" whined the Shieldon.

Emma looked around, looking for said Amaura. She was confused when she noticed she and the Shieldon were the only living creatures in the room.

"¿Huh? ¿What Amaura?"

"¡Oh! So the icy pokémon decided this was an awesome moment to wake up" remarked the Shieldon

Once she fell out of confusion, she realized what was happening. A Shieldon was talking to her. A pokémon.

"¡¿What?! You're… ¡You're talking!" Emma said "¡¿But how?!"

"Surprise, surprise, the Amaura is crazy. Now that you're awake, get out of my house"

"¡But I see no Amaura!" yelled Emma

"Then you should go to a river, and take a good look at your face"

"¡¿What do you mean with that?!"

"¿Are you stupid or what? You're the Amaura, your royal craziness" said Terrence

"¿Are you blind? I am a human" answered Emma.

Terrence looked at her up and down for a moment, just before bursting out in laughs.

"¡What is so funny about this! ¿And why can you talk, you, Shieldon?"

"Haha! I haven't laughed this much in years. You know, a pokémon should be out of its mind to believe even in the existence of humans!"

"¡¿What do you mean with that?!"

"You know, you're annoying, but clever. Even I recognize that. I'll make you a favor, and show you the path to the psychologist in town. And in the way there, I'll show you some metal, or water, so you can look at yourself. For now, you can look at your feet, or something. Shouldn't be a problem with that large neck of yours" said the Shieldon. "And my name is Terrence. Its good manners to call someone by its name, Amaura"

"I'm Emma" she said, as she got increasingly annoyed by Terrence's attitude.

However, she did as Terrence said. She looked down, and was surprised to see fingerless feet. She was even more surprised to see them where her hands were supposed to be, and the fact that they were icy blue shocked her.

"What? But, this is nonsense! My fingers are gone!"

"Geez, you need help. You should talk to the 'Great and wise Chimecho'. He sure can help you fix those problems you have"

"¡I don't have problems! Well, at least I didn't until I touched that cube," said Emma. "The cube… ¡The cube!"

"Ok, we better get going before you get worse" said Terrence, as he walked towards the entrance of the house. "¿You're coming or not?"

"¡But that cube! ¡And Halley! Oh, god, she's alone in that cave all by herself. I should have listened to Jenna, I really should have"

"You're not coming," Terrence replied. "You should be grateful. I'm bringing Chimecho here"

"¡I don't want to meet Chimecho, I want to go back!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Stay here" said Terrence, just before leaving the house.

"Terrence, wait!" said Emma, but for no use.

Terrence had already left.

"I need to find a way to the cube, I need to! Foolish me, if it wasn't for that cave, I wouldn't be here trapped in the house of a grumpy Shieldon. ¡¿And how in the name of Arceus did I fell from the sky?!" Emma said to herself.

"At least I have time to think of a plan to get there. ¿What was the name of the cave? ¿Disappearence Cave? ¿Mystery Cave? ¡Too many options, not enough time!"

Meanwhile, Terrence had gone looking for Chimecho. He didn't even look at his surroundings this time, he was too focused in the fact that there was an Amaura in his house that thought she was a human.

Arceus, what a confusing situation, Terrence thought. Better get that Chimecho. The faster, the better.

Once Terrence got to Blissful Town, he started asking for Chimecho. He knew Chimecho was there, but didn't bother to learn where he lived.

Once he got the right direction, he found Chimecho in a tent next to the Scizor's Land Deeds.

"Chimecho?" asked Terrence. "¿Are you even here?"

Terrence was surprised to see the tent was actually huge inside, and had about four rooms.

"Oh! I have a visitor today. ¿How may I serve you, Terrence?" answered Chimecho, as he entered the room.

"¿How in the name of Arceus do you know my name?"

"I know everyone's names around here, if that answers your question"

"Ugh. Anyway, I have a problem. A crazy Amaura is in my house right now, and she looks like she could use some kind of… help," said Terrence.

"¡Oh! ¿And what makes you believe this Amaura is crazy?" asked Chimecho, interested in this Amaura.

"Emma, the Amaura, believes she is a human," answered Terrence. "¿How crazy you have to be to believe even in the existence of humans?"

"What an interesting pokémon, indeed. Maybe I should refer to her as a human. You never know"

"¿What?"

"Well, she said she's a human. ¿Why not? There are lots of stories about humans becoming pokémon through various methods. The one known the most, though, is through a yellow, white, blue and black cube inside of a cave"

"Anyway, I decided to make her a favor and get you to get her out of my house, and talk or something. But it doesn't seem like you're that helpful"

"Maybe you should be a little more open minded, Terrence. Lead me to Emma, it'll be nice to know her"

"Why do I even bother…" whispered Terrence. "Let's get going"

—

Emma still was in Terrence's house

Why am I still here, anyway… she thought. Oh, right. Because I have nowhere else to go, and a Chimecho is coming for some reason. Amazing.

She saw the door open, and Terrence and Chimecho came in.

"¡Oh! So you're Emma. Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too, I guess"

"Where are my manners. I am Chimecho, and I heard you're a human. ¿Is that right?"

"Yes, it is"

"Well, I do believe you, unlike a certain Shieldon present in the room," said Chimecho, while looking at Terrence. "I have heard some stories and legends about humans becoming pokémon. The most popular is about a cube in a cave. ¿Is that how you became a pokémon?"

"Actually, yes. ¿Do you know anything else about the legends, or cube? ¿Or how to return to my original form? ¿Or why did that cube do that?" Emma started asking, taking a big sudden interest in the conversation

"Oh, but be patient, my friend. You questions shall be answered in a minute, but first, I need to know some specific details. First, ¿How did that cube turn you into a pokémon?"

"I don't know, I was in the cave, I touched it, I paralyzed and next thing I knew, I was falling from the sky and crashed here"

"Interesting. Next question, ¿Do you remember your life as a human? I heard that most of the human-turned pokémon lose their memory"

"No, I remember everything. How my life as a human, how I looked like, and the fact that pokémon couldn't talk. They just cried their species"

"Hm. Very interesting, indeed. Now, the part you really want to hear. I think I might know how to turn you back into a human"

"¡How is it!"

"I've heard rumours about a certain cave. There is a cube that, if I'm right, its of the same colours the cube in your world was. ¿How was it?"

"Yellow, white, black and blue"

"Oh! Then it is of the same colours. They say that if you touch the cube of this cave, though, a legendary pokémon will emerge from the cube. This pokémon will battle you, and if you win, it will grant you any wish you want. The pokémon's name is said to be Jirachi"

"Any wish?"

"Any wish."

"So, she has to battle a legend that might not exist in the hopes of returning to a world that its even less probable it exists?" said Terrence, whom had been listening to the whole conversation. "What a joke"

"Be quiet, Terrence," said Emma. "Now, ¿what's the name of this cave?"

"Icy Cave"

"¿And where is it?"

"Its in the peak of the highest mountain in the Junya region. Although we're in the northeast side of the region, the cave is in the southwest side"

"Then I better get going, I have a long journey to do"

"Oh, but not so fast, my friend!"

"¿What is it?"

"The cave is a rough mystery dungeon. Perhaps one of the toughest dungeons in the region, with lots of powerful pokémon, with Jirachi being the boss itself.

"Only Rukario ranked exploration teams, or highly ranked guilds are let inside the cave. So you need to either form or join an exploration team, or join a guild, but you also need to have visited a mínimum part of the region. The more the best"

"Arceus bless, what a tough quest"

"Indeed it is. But it's the only known way to return to the human world. I wouldn't recommend joining a guild, since they assign you the missions and have limits of where you can go. But forming an exploration team can be difficult too"

"Well, first, ¿What are guilds, exploration teams and mystery dungeons?"

"Everything at its time, Emma. For now, I think its more important for you get a place to live"

"Yeah, well, that ain't gonna be here. You should start looking somewhere else," said Terrence. "Oh, and, get out of my house"

"Let's talk outside," said Chimecho

"Agreed"

Once out of the house, they resumed the conversation.

"It is true. ¿Where can I stay?"

"For now, you can stay at my house if you want. In exchange, I would like to hear more of the human world"

Emma thought about it. She had nowhere else to go, but she just met Chimecho. However, the pokémon world was probably different from the human one anyway, and that was probably the way it worked. So she decided to stay there.

"Yes. I will. It's not that expensive, anyway"

"Oh, then we should get going. You will like Blissful Town"
