Yes, yes, I know, I need to get a life, blah blah blah.
Dranicus101: No kidding, why do you think Roman is a Pikachu? (Roman: I resent that!)
We are nearing 400 views! And because of that, we're going to get this story back on track!
Also, for all you silent viewers, REVIEW! If you don't here's a random question to answer. Where is the first time you meet Lance in gen 2? A. Lake of Rage B. Mahogany Town C. Elite Four D. Goldenrod Radio Tower. OR, here's another one. What pokemon was almost the mascot for the series?
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, or Grant, who belongs to Dranicus101.
Aegothis's POV
"So I snuck out under the cover of Night," Roman began, holding up a Joltik apparently named Night. "I snuck around Post Town, stealing the Azumarill's board with all of the missions on it."
"Actually," I interjected, "I did that. You went to the pawnbroker to try and fix your chess set."
"Oh yeah, how p/funny is that? I also tried to buy the camouflage shorts I saw yesterday, but I couldn't see them anymore. Well anyways, where are the missions?"
"Over there," I said, pointing over to a board in our half-finished home. "We can check 'em out, I guess. I have a feeling the Azumarill will just get a new board, but then we can just steal the little Post-Its off the board. So check it out!"
Random missions were scattered across the board. The first one I saw was item retrieval.
Help! I've lost my oh-so-precious Rainy Orb! Please help me find it! Reward: 70 Poke. Not bad for a starting quest. "How about this one?" Roman asked, pointing at another one. There is a pokemon terrorizing the feral pokemon in the Hazy Pass! Please take care of it! "We can do both, can't we?" Jay put in nervously.
"Yeah, only one problem. Only three pokemon can do missions at a time, otherwise it attracts too much attention. Four is too many, so… one of us is going to have to sit out." Grant supplied helpfully. "I nominate Jay or Roman."
"Yea, me too. Jay will most likely cause us to be found but Roman will most likely kill us."
"We're right here you know!" the Tepig said angrily. "And besides, it's too early in the story to die. Once we hit 1,000 views we'll be able to die!"
"Um Jay," the Grovyle began. "You do realize we're not in a story, right? That'd be incredibly stupid."
"Right. I knew that."
"Back to the problem at hand! Who's not going? Jay? Thanks for volunteering." I faked a smile and pulled Roman and Grant along. The Tepig was immediately assaulted by an angry Fletchling.
"Nooo! Don't leave me like this! I beg you!"
"See ya suckas!" Roman called over his shoulder, Swaggering past, confusing us greatly… and also raising our attack as we all surged upon him.

"Ow…" the Pikachu whined as he dragged himself into the dungeon-y area. "That hurt you know. My appendix is missing now!"
"And you don't need your appendix now, do you?" I shot back. "Whatever. Rainy Orb and mischievous pokemon. Got it." We continued exploring the first floor, also making me wish that Jay was with us simply because of the sheer amounts of Sewaddle around here. Roman helped with the Wooper greatly, as I contemplated how Grass was strong versus Water.
We climbed up to the second floor, arguing about the tree stumps again. "I think I see the evil pokemon." Roman stated obviously, as the entirety of the pokemon population on the floor was in a giant heap. The Zorua on top laughed and ran off up to the next floor. We gave Chase up as an offering- wait, no, we gave chase to the Tricky Fox Pokemon, who led us up to the next floor.
"I see sparkly!" Roman gasped, snatching up the Rainy Orb that we were sent to retrieve. "My precious… bwahahahaha!"
"Roman…" I began. "Why don't you go back out and give the Orb to its rightful owner? We can take care of the Zorua by ourselves."
"Buh-buh-buh- okay, fine." Roman put away the Gameboy that had appeared in his paws and began juggling the Orb with a few Rattata, heading back down.
"Thank Arceus he's gone." muttered Grant. "Now, to business." The Zorua was nowhere to be found on the third floor, so we went up one more. "Is this supposed to be here?" We were in a maze of walls and rocks.
"Maybe it's the Zorua's doing," I suggested, poking one of the walls. It dissolved into… Poke puffs? Sure enough, many of the little sugary treats rained down upon me as the entire wall crumbled into Pokepuffs. "Ready, fire!" I cried as I spotted the Zorua perched up high. I took a bite of the dessert and lobbed it at the bigger pokemon, who effortlessly dodged.
"I'm back!" Roman shouted in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, appearing out of nowhere. "And I'm just in time!" The black and red pokemon above me laughed harder. I threw another Pokepuff at it, catching it on the ear. Surprisingly, its red parts melted away to reveal blue underneath.
"You're shiny?" I gasped in disbelief. The Zorua stopped laughing and used a Leer, scowling at us.
"I have an idea!" Roman said, striking a ridiculous pose and flexing nonexistent muscles. "Hit me!"
"With pleasure!" Grant and I said in unison, socking him in the head. The Pikachu fell to the ground, unconscious. "Oops."
"Haha! I like you guys. Were you sent to retrieve me? Where are you guys staying?" the Zorua asked.
"Um, right now our residence is Hazy Cave." I said awkwardly.
"Wait, what? I am so in with you all! I get to stay in Hazy Cave 24/7!" he cheered, fist pumping.
Ω
"Well this isn't odd at all." said Grant, dropping Roman on the floor as we reached our hideout. The makeshift fort glowed for a second and when it faded, it looked… better… somehow. "Did we just level up or something?"
"Nope! You just got points for level up! Now is this all of your team or are there more?" the Zorua asked. Right about then, a Tepig was flung over the wall and a Fletchinder following.
"Well we sure missed a lot."
Ω
And that wraps up this chapter folks! Remember to review!
