PMD2: Moments, Musings and Scenes by Lina Ben
Hello! Instead of two PMD2 stories I have decided to combine them into one massive story. I hope everyone will like this!
Okay, at the start of each chapter I will state which game it is set in. There is some OCs in all three settings.
I don't own Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time, Darkness or Sky.
Time to get a move on!
I don't own "Plans" by Birds of Tokyo.
Setting: PMD2: Explorers of Darkness
Warnings: None
Pairing: Friendshipping, otherwise called Beachshipping (Treeko/Cyndaquil)
Plans
We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types
Shedding skin you show your beauty scars
Don't forget me or who you are
Darkness embraced Talia like a blanket. She could faintly hear the waves crashing on the shore of the beach. She also noticed that something was shaking her shoulder. Opening her eyes, Talia surveyed her surroundings and stood up. Who shook her out of unconsciousness? Turning to face the person that helped her, she gazed at him in confusion.
"Great! You're awake!" The Pokemon said with relief. Talia, however didn't notice him as she looked around the place she was in.
'Where…where am I?' She asked herself in confusion. Where was she?
"You weren't moving. You really had me worried there!" The Cyndaquil said with a relieved smile. Nope, Talia still had no idea where she was. Glancing around the surroundings she found herself at a beach.
"How did you wind up passed out here?" He asked in wonder. Talia was now even more confused then before.
'I…I was passed out? What happened…?' Why was she passed out? Did she fall and hit her head?
"Anyway, I'm Cam. Glad to meet you!" Cam said with a bright smile before asking his next question.
"So who might you be? I don't think I've seen your face around here." The Cyndaquil asked again. Talia narrowed her eyes. If she knew who she was then she wouldn't be stuck here, would she?
"I'm human." Talia told the Cyndaquil with a slight tone of annoyance.
"What! You don't look human! You look like a totally normal Treeko to me!" He yelped in shock, stepping a pace backwards.
'It's true! I've turned into a Treeko!' Talia realized after taking a good look at herself.
'…But how did this happen? I don't remember anything…' Talia asked herself, crossing her arms over her chest.
"You're…a little odd," he said "are you pulling some kind of trick on me?" He asked the Treeko with a worried look on his face.
'What? Of course not!' Talia thought with frown before quickly shaking her head.
"You're telling me the truth? Ok, then what's your name?" The small Cyndaquil asked with a small frown.
"I'm Talia." The Treeko said simply.
You know this don't feel right
Who knows what we feel?
"Oh, Talia is your name? OK." The Cyndaquil said and then nodded with a nervous smile.
'Maybe he can help me.' The Treeko thought, a faint glimmer of hope in her soul.
"Well, you don't seem to be a bad Pokemon at least." Cam said quietly, almost to himself.
"Sorry that I doubted you. More and more bad Pokemon keep turning up, you see! A lot of Pokemon have started being aggressive lately. Things have gone wild for some reason…" Cam said, almost stumbling over his words. Talia thought it was kinda cute.
'Where did that thought come from?' The Treeko asked herself suddenly before stopping to wait for Cam to speak again.
Suddenly, two other Pokemon came up from behind the Cyndaquil and pushed him into the Treeko. The two small Pokemon went tumbling to the nearby rocks. Lying under the Cyndaquil, Talia could see a small golden plaque that read Forever lost, but never forgotten. As the Cyndaquil got up to face the attackers, Talia got to her feet steadily.
"Well, I do beg your pardon." The Koffing said with a feral smirk. Talia bristled silently as the two Pokemon both smirked at the Treeko and the Cyndaquil.
"Hey! Why'd you do that for?" Cam growled. He looked so angry that Talia could see a small vein popping in his head. The Zubat cackled annoyingly before saying "Can't figure it out? We wanted to mess with you! Can't face up to us can you?" The Zubat said with an evil smile. Cam looked taken aback, so much so that he even took a step back.
"That's yours isn't it?" The Zubat said again, pointing to a strangely shaped rock that was sitting in the sand. Cam's eyes widened both in shock and in recognition.
"Hey! That's…!" The Cyndaquil yelped but had no time to finish what he was going to say. The Zubat and the Koffing suddenly snatched it from the sand and laughed at Cam's shocked face. They made a jibe at him, taunting him and saying he was a coward.
I just met you I can read your thoughts
What they tell me is what I want
I'll keep you guessing keep you wanting more
'Cos where we're going no one knows
As the pair walked into the nearby cave with another snide remark, Cam glanced down to the ground.
"What should I do? That's my personal treasure. It means everything to me." The Cyndaquil sighed sadly, but continued on.
"If I lost that…" Cam said with tears in his eyes and was choking on his words.
Shaking his head out of it, there was a new glint of determination in his eyes.
"No! There's no time to waste! I have to get it back! Will you help me?" The Cyndaquil asked and Talia wondered where this drive and determination came from. Nodding firmly, the two then ran into the cave.
You know this don't feel right
Who knows this could feel right
I just met you, I swear I read your thoughts
So don't forget me or what you want
Easily going through the cave and defeating the various Pokemon and picking up strange items, the pair trekked though the cave in search of the Koffing and the Zubat. Finally reaching the end of the cave, the two sighed in relief as they spotted the Koffing and the Zubat. Grabbing their attention with a firm "Hey!" the two thieves turned around. The Koffing greeted Cam with a snide remark and the Cyndaquil winced, taking a small step back.
"Give me back what you stole from me!" Cam yelled at the two Pokemon, leaning forward as hid did so.
"I don't think we will, kid." The Zubat said after a moments thought while the Koffing chimed in with an "A snooze, ya lose, losers!"
"Why not!" Talia suddenly yelled, shaking the walls of the room.
'Wow where did that come from?' The Treeko asked herself, placing a hand over her mouth.
Light up the stage, make your move, give me something
So I can dance in your light and to your rhythm
Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of stars
Tear off the mask, the face you hide is what I'm missing
Deciding to do a battle for it, both teams got ready. Beginning the battle, both pair got in some pretty good offensive and defensive attacks. Talia pounded the Zubat with her tail and Cam tackled the Koffing to the ground over and over until the Zubat and Koffing were both lying on the ground in pain. The two complained for awhile before throwing the stone back to Cam and running out of the cave. Happy to have finally gotten his treasure back, Cam hugged the stone to his chest and then hugged Talia. The Treeko froze in shock, but after a few minutes she hugged him back. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she hugged someone, but it felt nice and warm with the young Cyndaquil embracing her warmly.
"Thank you, Talia. Thank you." The Cyndaquil breathed in her ear, making the Treeko blush.
Walking back out of the cave, the pair stopped and faced each other.
'I only helped this Cyndaquil because I happened to be there…was that the right thing to do?' Talia thought as Cam kept thanking her.
Smiling to herself, Talia thought 'I guess so. This Pokemon is clearly grateful for my help. It's nice to be appreciated.' Placing the strange stone between them, Cam smiled at her and said
"Here is what they stole. I call it my Relic Fragment." He said, pushing the stone towards me. Gazing at the rock while Cam talked about why he like legends and lore, Talia saw a strange pattern inscribed on it. The pattern brought out an unknown feeling in Talia, a feeling of familiarity. Where had she seen this pattern before? While Cam talked about how he wanted to be an explorer to unravel the mysteries behind his Relic Fragment, Talia listened patiently.
"What about you Talia, what are you going to do now?" Cam asked her, wondering what the unusual Pokemon was going to do.
'I really have no idea where I'm going to go.' Talia thought sadly. Where could she go?
"Can I ask you a big favour? Will you join me to make and exploration team?" The Cyndaquil asked, gazing at her seriously.
'What? What should I do? I'm getting recruited out of the blue! Well, it wouldn't hurt in teaming up with him, I guess.' Talia thought it through as the sun was starting to set.
We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types
One was turning, one was standing still
I won't forget what was promised here
You know this don't feel right
Who knows what we feel?
"OK. I'll join you, Cam." Talia agreed to Cam's request with a smile.
"I mean, who knows, maybe we will sole the mystery of your Relic Fragment and maybe we will find out how I got here." She said with a bright smile, while placing her hand in front of her for him to shake. Instead of taking her hand, Cam caught her wrist and brought her into a warm embrace. Blushing deeply, Talia let a small smile grace her lips. Breaking apart, the two left the beach and headed to the Wigglytuff Guild.
What they didn't know that this would be the start of the greatest exploration team of the decade, Team Enigma.
