Disclaimer: I do not own anything in the Mystery Dungeon series. I also don't own three OC's which are used in this chapter.

AN: Here's the next chapter! Before I begin, I want to thank Lady of DarkFire, Pikachuhunter1 and Awesome Rapidash for providing three OC's for me to use. I was originally going to write them in separate chapters, but I ended up writing it this way. I hope there isn't a problem, because I couldn't think of another way to do this.

Christy sat with her back pressed against the nearest tree, and she could feel the bark through her clothes. Many ropes kept the girl bound to the tree, and no amount of struggling helped her get loose. The human groaned, feeling sad, nervous, scared and very uncomfortable.

Dusknoir and the Sableyes were waiting for a little while, letting the poor girl suffer before they killed her. They didn't feed her for the hours that they held her prisoner. Most people would have given up by this time.

But, Christy didn't want to give up yet! Her father used to tell her that she should never give up, and she wanted to follow his teachings. Though most likely she wouldn't escape, she tried to hold on to the tiny bit of hope inside of her.

Dusknoir laughed at the tied up girl. "It won't be long now," he informed her.

Unable to come up with a response, the brunette just stayed silent.


Four Pokémon walked silently side by side, moving through the dark forest. A Pigeot with mostly silver feathers led the way, while the other three didn't protest. The Pigeot considered herself to be a leader, and since her mind couldn't be changed easily, the others never said anything about it.

A little Pichu shivered slightly, trying to stay close to the team. After losing her family not long ago, she stuck with the group in order to stay alive. The Totodile was the most understanding of the other three Pokémon, as she lost her entire family in one fell swoop when Dusknoir and his Sableyes attacked without warning.

The Vulpix was caring, and her motherly nature showed when she helped take care of the Pichu. But, after losing her father to a horrible Pokémon, and her mother injured, it was difficult to earn her trust. That didn't mean she wouldn't help anyone in need, she would just be a little wary of the person as well.

"Selan," the Pichu suddenly called to the Pigeot. "Can we take a little break? I'm tired!"

"I think we should continue forward," the Totodile answered seriously before the flying type could speak.

"But, I'm tired, Tess!" the little Pichu complained.

The Vulpix smiled a little and stopped walking, moving her four paws downward. "Climb onto my back, Flora. I'll give you a ride," the fire type offered.

"Yay!" the little one exclaimed happily. "Thanks, Sakura!"

Selan peeked over her shoulder, smiling slightly as Flora went onto Sakura's back. She was really happy she found this group. These Pokémon were probably the only ones who understood her. Even the humans usually shunned her.

When time flowed normally, Selan was a human instead of a Pokémon. She was kidnapped by an evil organization, who conducted some experiments on her. She was turned into a Pigeot as a result, who could turn into a human with Pigeot features and back to a Pigeot at will. She managed to escape and started roaming around, looking for someone who would accept her for who she was.

At first, she thought she would find a friend, but when that friend discovered her secret, that person could care less about her. They called her a monster, a freak of nature, and they wanted nothing to do with her. For a while, she was on the run.

Then on one day after the planet's paralysis, she bumped into Flora. The little Pichu was alone and crying, and it wasn't just because she lost her family. It was also because she was cornered by a couple Breedrill who were acting aggressively. With her mind set, she moved forward to defeat the bug types and rescue the child.

More time had passed and they eventually met Tess and Sakura. Tess was so serious, and she rarely trusted anyone these days. The only reason she was there was because she thought there were strength in numbers and that was it. Sakura was on the hunt for the horrible Pokémon that killed her father, and joined the group because they promised to help, as well as looking after Flora.

One day, they found out her secret when they had to make a hasty escape. She transformed into her half human, half Pigeot form, grabbed her friends and flew them to safety. At first, she assumed that they were going to shun her, just like all the rest. Especially Tess, due to the Totodile's nature.

Flora, however, was the first to say that she didn't care what Selan was. She liked her just like she always did. Sakura agreed with the young Pichu, but Tess wasn't completely convinced. However, the group stuck together and it had been that way ever since then.

Evil chuckles suddenly caught Selan's attention and she flew forward to get a better look. Curiously Sakura followed after the Pigeot and Tess tagged along just because she could. The all female Pokémon team hid behind the bushes and looked into the clearing.

For just the briefest instant, Selan looked alarmed at seeing a human girl tied tightly to the tree. She was surrounded by Sableyes and one Dusknoir. Tess couldn't help growling under her breath when she saw the ghost type Pokémon and Sakura was alarmed for the poor girl. Flora shivered uncontrollably on the Vulpix's back.


Christy struggled hard against the ropes that bound her to the tree. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach as the Sableyes advanced slowly on her. She knew that they were planning to kill her right now, but she didn't want that to happen!

Just as Dusknoir was about to give the order to attack, a streak of silver, gray and black, attacked one of the Sableyes at full speed. The Sableyes were caught off guard by this, especially when a Totodile and Vulpix joined the fight.

"These Pokémon..." Christy murmured. "They're trying to save me?"

"Only because she wants to help you," the Totodile remarked, getting out of the fight briefly. She started to bite through the ropes, ignoring the fact that they tasted terrible. In no time, the human was free!

With a groan, Christy stood up, which Dusknoir took notice to. "Stop her! Don't let her get away!"

Just then, the silver Pigeot flew toward the human and started to glow. Her form changed shape until she looked like a human with silver hair, gray wings, and a silver and black tail. Christy's brown eyes widened in surprise when she saw this, as well as a Pichu scampering out of the bushes and grabbed hold of the Pigeot morph's leg. The Sableyes were just as stunned and didn't move, despite their orders.

"Tess! Sakura! Jump into her arms!"

The Totodile appeared slightly annoyed, but did as she was told, while the Vulpix gave the human girl a wary look but jumped into her arms. Once Christy had a good hold, the Pigeot morph grabbed her and started to flap her gray wings, intending on getting the human girl to safety.

"You fools, stop them!"

The other ghost types snapped out of their trance and started to rush toward them, but by that time, it was too late, and they were in the sky.


"You know, you are heavier than I thought," the Pigeot morph murmured, trying to keep hold of the human girl.

Christy didn't say a word at first. She was too shocked to make a form of reply. Despite the wings and some extra feathers, she recognized the morph's face. Could it really be her? A girl that lived in her town and disappeared one day, never to be heard from again? They used to be friends, and then one day she was just gone.

"Selan? Is that really you?"

For the first time in a long time, Selan was so shocked she almost stopped flapping her wings. She didn't think the other girl would recognize her.
