Thank you all for reading the prologue! Now, as I said in the summary, this is my version of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. I'm first starting off on before the events of the game to give everyone the background on Luna and Grovyle, as well as Jolt. Luna is the character that I play. Grovyle is the one who was stealing the time gears, and Jolt is the one who finds Luna collapsed on the beach and forms an exploration team with her. However, before we get to that, first we have to go into the past of how Luna and Grovyle met. First, we go into Luna's past and how she ended up in the Pokémon World, and then we get to how she met Grovyle. This is all my version, so there are some parts that will be different in the actual game portion of the story. Like how Luna is actually a Glaceon, instead of the usual Pokémon that you are chosen as during the whole personality question thing. This has to do with her evolving when time was still flowing, so she never really had to worry about it. One major difference I made with the story is how Grovyle said to Jolt that he only knew Darkness all his life, instead he only knew it after he evolved into Grovyle. Another thing I changed is how Jolt acquires his Relic Fragment. Another thing that is different from the game is the fact that she is also part Pokemon on her mother's side. In fact, she only has 1/16th of human heritage in her from her father. The rest of her is all pokemon. There are some things that I'm still thinking of changing, but those are all I know about for now. You'll find out them all as you continue reading and I'll post them at the top of each chapter that they're in to give you a heads up. I'll be continuing with Luna's point of view until Grovyle comes in and change it to his and hers as the story progresses. Then once Jolt comes into the story, I'll be going a little bit into his, Luna's and Grovyle's so you can see how the story progresses. So enjoy chapter 1 and tell me what you think of it. So please give me a review! I haven't been getting any reviews lately on my other stories that I'm starting to feel depressed, like I haven't done a good job on it. Especially my Yugioh story! I'm starting to wonder if people think I'm the worst author in the history of fanfiction. So please give me a review, I really need some confidence because I'm starting to lose it from all this no review business. Anyways, On to Chapter 1!

Chapter 1

Luna's Determination

Luna's P.O.V.

5 Years Later...

" Hey Daddy, can I go outside and play by the river?" I looked at a man in his late 20s with light orange hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a black shirt with a light blue cape and dark blue pants. He wore silver boots and had a golden heart locket around his neck. The words 'Tora and Angela' were engraved on the front of the locket.

" Sure Princess, just be careful, alright? I don't want you to get hurt, or in trouble." I nodded smiling brightly at him before I answered him. " Sure Daddy, I'll see you later!" He gave me a small smile as I ran out the door and towards the river near the outskirts of the village.

My name is Luna Starlight Hikaru, but you can just call me Luna. I've lived here in Sunlight Village with my father Tora Hikaru ever since my birth five years ago. He always seems to worry about me more than I think he should. I guess it's because of how my mother died giving birth to me and he doesn't want to lose me like he lost her. The only thing that I can remember about her is a feeling of warmth and kindness.

I don't have any friends because of my strange ways. I always tend to do things that most people think is impossible. My natural strength and agility always seems to frighten people off, but I can't understand why. That's the one thing that always puzzles me.

I looked at me reflection in the water. I was a young girl with short bright orange hair and bright golden highlights and bright green eyes with a teal crescent moon shaped inside each one. I wore a turquoise tube top with a blue jacket and black skirt with brown boots. I wore bright green fingerless gloves and I had a dark teal choker with a yellow diamond-shaped gem around my neck. My bangs also hid a light blue birthmark on my forehead shaped like a crescent moon.

Sometimes, I feel like I don't belong here. Like there's somewhere else that I should be. Everyday, the feeling keeps getting stronger, and I start feeling like my body has changed for a brief moment before it goes back to normal. I haven't told Daddy about this because I don't want him to worry. He worries enough about me already.

Then, as I got up, I heard a scream. I look to my left and saw some village kids getting chased by a tiger. I couldn't let them die! So I ran towards the tiger and tackled it just as I began to have that strange feeling once again. As I struck the tiger, it looked at me with fear and ran.

Then I looked at myself and started freaking out. I looked like some kind of kitten. I was on four legs instead of two. I had brown fur and light yellow fur below my neck. I also had a brown tail with light yellow fur at the end of it. My ears were like a cat's and were brown with pink on the inside. My eyes looked the same and my choker was still there, but it wasn't visible through all my fur. I also noticed that the birthmark on my forehead had changed from blue to white.

I noticed that the kids ran and came back with soldiers from the castle. I felt myself go back to my normal self as they tried to capture me. Apparently for my powers as I heard them talk to themselves while chasing me. However, they all fell to the ground as my father appeared right next to my and took me deep into the woods on the outskirts of the village.

" I'm sorry this had to happen to you Luna. I guess that it's time that I tell you the truth." I looked at him confused. " The truth about what, Daddy?" He sighed before he answered, looking at me nothing but serious. " Your birth Luna. You see, you are a child born between a human and a Pokémon."
