The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series of games are owned by Gamefreak and Nintendo and are not my property.
I own 5 OCs in this, that being the main character Pokemon in the Time, Darkness, Sky games, 3 newcomers, and the partner of the main character. Their names will be Trish the Vulpix, Maxi the Mawile, Jasminder the Leavanny, Marine the Bruxish, and Jasper the human. The story will be told mainly by Trish's POV. All other POVs and dream sequences will be in italic. I'm not saying who is in the POV as some have POV of a character and others are in 3rd Person. You should be old enough to figure it out on your own if you are reading this fanfic.
If I add any new OCs, I will introduce them with their names in bold.
With this out of the way, let's begin.
Chapter 37
When we finally arrived at the Mystifying Forest, we felt a good breeze blowing through the place, which made us feel happy, but also get tense as to what awaited. "Okay, we're here, so let's go ahead and get that treasure," I smiled. "Okay, right behind ya, Trish," Maxi smiled at me as we ventured into the forest and we tried to make it through. During our walk through the first bits of it, we found that the enemies were varied, but some were tough, others weren't, and a few surprised us because of how tough they were.
Mainly the ones that surprised us in terms of toughness were the Nidoran, as they looked so small, but they hit very hard, managing to do quite a bit of damage despite their small size! "Yow! Those little Nidoran have quite a punch to them," Jasminder gawked as she ended up losing a Reviver Seed. We proceeded forward while taking out more and more opponents until we came upon a clearing. "Oh, it's Team Icy Steel! Hey there," said a voice from behind me in the form of Ursaring, who was joined by Teddiursa. "Oh, hey guys. What are you doing here? Isn't it dangerous?" Maxi asked them.
"What do you mean?" Teddiursa asked. "Well, the Grand Master of all things bad lives here, doesn't he?" I asked. "Never heard of it... I think someone just told you a bad rumor. Anyways, we're headed to Luminous Spring. We'd love it if you could come along," Ursaring smiled at us as they went around us and forward. "Okay, let's follow them," I smiled. We then walked forward and then, out of nowhere, we ended up falling! And we fell into what looked to be an expansive pit! "Ack! Where are we?" Jasminder gawked. "I think... we fell through a trap," I said.
As soon as I said that, however, the hole above us got covered up with something, making it incredibly dark wherever we were. "I can't see a thing! What's going on?" I asked. "Muahahaha!" a voice started to guffaw around us, making us scared out of our wits. "W-Who's there?" Maxi asked. "I am the Grand Master of all things bad! You shouldn't have dared to come here! Muahahaha!" the voice said in a menacing, deep-sounding voice. "So, you think that keeping this place covered is going to make you win? Sorry, but that won't work on me! Sunny Day!" Jasminder exclaimed, her move causing the place to get lit up like a parade... only for us to see something that truly shocked us.
All around us was not only Wigglytuff, but every single other Guild member minus Bidoof, including Groovy and Marine! "Uh..." Wigglytuff said with a smile. "Um... what's going on here? Is this the test? Fighting the rest of the guild? Confusion happening to all of us right now! I don't like confusion," I said, wondering what was going on. "What is a guild?" Wigglytuff smiled. "I am the Grand Master of all things bad! And these are my minions! Muahaha!"
It was then that I got what was going on. They were just pretending, which Maxi and Jasminder caught onto as well. "Very well, 'Grand Master', you're all going down!" Maxi chuckled as she took her position and Mega Evolved for effect. "Let's get them everyone! YOOMTAH!" Wigglytuff exclaimed, all of us starting our final trial. Taking down our fellow guild members in battle. "Alright then, Powder Snow!" I smiled as the entire guild got hit by the freezing cold attack, some of them getting knocked out instantly, like Chatot, Dugtrio, and Diglett, while others like Groovy and Sunflora still stood, despite the type disadvantage.
"They took out three minions already! Oh my gosh, get 'em!" Sunflora exclaimed as she used Razor Leaf on Jasminder, which she simply chuckled at. "Now I shall answer back. Silver Wind! Times 2!" Jasminder smirked, her special ability Chlorophyll kicking in so that she used it twice in a row, which managed to hit everyone in the room for a lot of damage, managing to knock out nearly every single Pokemon, the only ones still standing being Wigglytuff, Marine, and Corphish. "Now for my new move! Dazzling Gleam!" Maxi exclaimed as she used her new fairy type move to finish the job, every last Pokemon left being demolished by the attack. "S-Strong! I've been beat!" Wigglytuff exclaimed as he and the others all rushed away, which made me and the other girls giggle. "Okay, now that we handled that, let's continue forward," I smirked.
We continued forward a bit until we found Teddiursa and Ursaring looking at a strange box. "Hello guys, whatcha looking at?" I asked. "Well, we found this box here, but we've never seen one here before... we're kinda afraid to open it," Teddiursa frowned. "Hmm... let me try something," I said as I walked forward and touched the box, wondering if I still had my unique ability on me. And then it happened. I blacked out and saw a vision. It was one of Wigglytuff arriving in this area and placing the box on the ground before running away. "Hmm... I think this is the treasure they wanted us to take back," I said after I gasped awake, opening the box to find none other than a Perfect Apple. Should've known.
After I took the box, something happened in front of us that made us shocked. A big flash of light happened at the nearby spring and it then had a light shining down in the center of the water! "Oh my! Luminous Spring has sprung back to life!" Teddiursa gawked. "Those who seek awakening... this is Luminous Spring. Do you wish to evolve?" said an ominous voice out of nowhere. "W-Was that the spring itself talking?" Jasminder gawked. "I think so... let me see if I can evolve!" Teddiursa smiled as she walked forward. "Do you wish to evolve?" the voice asked Teddiursa. "Yes, please!" Teddiursa smiled. "Do you need an item to do so?" the spring asked. "Nope, don't need one," Teddiursa smiled.
"So be it, let the light allow you to evolve," the spring's voice said as Teddiursa shined brightly and she began to transform. She evolved into Ursaring soon after. "Whoa! You look just like me now! Heh... it's gonna be hard to tell us apart now, though," Ursaring smiled. "Our voices are different enough, so that should be a dead giveaway," the female Ursaring smiled. "Cool! I wonder if I can evolve with my evolution stone..." I wondered as I walked into the light and waited for the voice. "Do you seek evolution?" the voice asked. "Yes, please," I smiled with excitement. "Do you require an item to evolve?" the voice asked. "Yes, my Icy Stone," I smiled as I held it in my hand. "So be it, let the light allow you to evolve..." the spring said as the light enveloped me... but then, after waiting for awhile, nothing happened.
"...Sorry, forgive me, but you cannot evolve," the spring said, making me shocked. "W-Why not?" I asked. "It is because you are not fully a Pokemon. Why that is, I do not know the answer to, but you cannot physically evolve unless you are completely Pokemon. Those who seek awakening, I expect your return," the voice said as the light vanished momentarily. "Aw man... guess I'm stuck looking like this forever," I frowned. "Well, at least now we know that the spring is operational again. Let's go back to the guild with the treasure and then graduate," Jasminder suggested. "Okay, fair enough," I said, a bit disappointed that I couldn't evolve into a Ninetails.
