Jarceus: Hello everyone and welcome to the tenth chapter of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:Dual Helpers. I hope you enjoy.

Firesage101: Sweet we have a team up. Jope everything turns out ok. I think Jarod loves springing surprises on people. Keep it up.

Jarceus: 'Jope' hehe. I'll be quoting that for a while. And I think he does. Or maybe he just likes informing others about what they don't need to know but he thinks they should which results in surprises.

Last Time

"What are you doing?" Asked James as he woke up

"I'm briefing these two on what to expect on this joint mission." Stated Jarod

"Joint mission?" Asked Watts having not heard about it

"Yes, We of Team Poképals have been told to…um… work with you three on an expedition to a waterfall that Vulpix," Stared Piplup before he was cut off

"Jarod." Corrected Jarod

"That Jarod, keeps telling us has a cave inside of it." Continued Piplup after the interruption

"Yea…Huh?" Cheered Chimchar before he noticed Watts' Relic Fragment "You have a Relic Fragment?" He asked the Alolan Raichu (Just incase you didn't get it when he evolved)

"Yea? Why are you asking?" He asked in return before he noticed that Chimchar, like him, had a Relic Fragment suspended around his neck "You have one too!" He shouted in shock

"Piplup, I know what you are." Stated Jarod in Piplup's mind only

'You do?' Asked Piplup in his mind

"Yea. And I just want to say, you aren't the only one." Stated Jarod nodding to James as if saying 'I mean him'

'Do you mean that brown Luxio?' Asked Piplup

"Yep, James there is a human…or more of WAS a human, same goes for me." Shrugged Jarod

"WHAT?!" Screamed Piplup aloud

"AHH! What's wrong Piplup?" Asked Chimchar scared from Piplup's sudden scream

"Sorry Chimchar, Jarod just told me something shocking via telepathy." Apologised Piplup awkwardly

"Did you?" Asked Watts to Jarod

"I did. But I will not tell you what I told Piplup." Answered Jarod as he grabbed a map, his bag and his sword "Well? Are you four coming?" He asked as he walked away

"Hey! Wait up!" Called the rest of the two teams as they rushed to catch up to the fleeing Vulpix

Now

"We're here now." Stated Jarod as the two teams made it to a waterfall which was rushing at such a speed that even a Snorlax would have a hard time standing in it

"And what do you want us to do here?" Asked James

"What I'm about to do…" Answered Jarod as he stepped a few steps back before running headfirst through the water fall

"JAROD!" Screamed James in concern

"I'm ok! A little in pain from the water but ok!" Called Jarod to the others "The only one who really has to worry is Chimchar!"

"Ok." Replied James as he,Watts,Piplup and a very reluctant Chimchar followed Jarod's example and jumped through the waterfall

"Why was that so painful!" Cried Chimchar feeling nothing but pain

"The waterfall was rough and we're fire types. Just be glad you aren't a Charmander." Answered Jarod as he helped Chimchar up "We just need to get through like five maybe eight floors and then we're done."

"Just asking, who do you know so much?" Asked Piplup

"Would you believe me if I said I was from the future?" Asked Jarod

"Not really." Shrugged Piplup

"Ok then. But I am from the future though." Stated Jarod as he literally swept the floors clean with the wild pokemon until they were on the final floor

"Wow. Is that a giant crystal?" Asked Chimchar amazed by the final floor. It was a single room which was covered in crystals which had formed in the surrounding earth

"Yes. But it is also a trap. If you happen to push it forward then it will cause a chain reaction causing a massive flood of water to send us flying out of the cave." Answered Jarod

"Really?" Asked Piplup just before James pushed the crystal forward making the cave shake

"JAMES! WHAT DID I JUST SAY!" Screamed Jarod just before a flood washed the five out of the cave

"AHHH!" Cried out everyone in the group besides Jarod as they landed in what seemed to be a hot spring

'This has been my day today.' Thought Jarod while sighing

Later

"So you run this place?" Asked Jarod to a Torkoal

"Yes. I do run these hot springs." Nodded Torkoal in a voice which showed his age

"And because the water is warm it doesn't hurt fire or ice types?" Asked Jarod again to make sure he heard correctly

"Correct." Confirmed Torkoal

"This is literally the best place to relax. No wild pokemon, no way to be hurt and nice scenery." Chuckled Jarod

"Arceus damn. What hit me?" Asked Chimchar as he woke up

"About 500 gallons of water and the ground." Answered Jarod sarcastically

"Really?" Grumbled Chimchar

"I might actually be close with saying that." Stated Jarod nonchalantly "Let's get these three to the guild."

"Ok…Hey! You're talking normally!" Realised Chimchar

"Gah! I…Dammit! I forgot!" Shouted Jarod waking up Watts

"You forgot to use telepathy?" Stated Watts making it sound more like a question

"Yea. Now Chimchar has heard my voice." Answered Jarod

"Hey, what's wrong with me hearing your voice?" Asked Chimchar offended

"Jarod is careful with who hears his voice as he has trust issues." Shrugged Watts

"And rightfully so! I've been betrayed many times in the past!" Countered Jarod angrily "The less people who know about me the less chance he has of finding me."

"You know… you sat he like we should know who you mean but I have to ask who he actually is?" Asked Watts making Jarod uncomfortable

"…" Murmured Jarod low enough that Watts and Chimchar couldn't hear what he said

"Excuse me?" Asked Watts

"Dusknoir." Whispered Jarod to Watts

"W-what? Why?" Asked Watts

"Let's just say to look underneath the underneath with him." Advised Jarod before he started dragging James back to the guild before Watts picked him up with psychic

"You help Chimchar carry Piplup." Commanded Watts

"Fine." Growled Jarod as he let Chimchar put Piplup onto his back and started walking to the guild

"Can't we just teleport back?" Asked Chimchar

"No. We can only use the badges in dungeons and teleport returns you to the last 'safe' place you were at. In our current case that would be the hot springs." Explained Jarod

"Oh. Then how are we going to get back soon?" Asked Chimchar

"We run." Stated Jarod as he picked up his pace causing the others to follow suit

"I have to ask how the two fire types woke up before the rest of the group?" Asked Watts

"Truth is I never fainted." Shrugged Jarod "I don't know how Chimchar woke up so fast though."

"I don't know either." Stated Chimchar as they somehow got back to the guild "How did we get here so fast?"

"I honestly have no idea. It's like we are in a fanfiction and the author doesn't want to take too long." Shrugged Jarod

"Fanfiction?" Asked Watts

"Don't ask. It's a human thing." Stated Jarod as the two walked up the the grate

"Pokémon detected. Pokemon detected." Called out Diglett

"Diglett, it's us. We've returned from our mission." Interrupted Jarod

"Oh. Well, then go on in." Instructed Diglett as the gate opened up

"Thanks Diglett." Thanked Jarod as the three walked in

Jarceus: That's all for this chapter. I hope to see you all next time.
