Welcome, Everyone. This is the sequel to "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: World of Exploration".
The style of writing is going to be different again, combining all of the skills I've accumulated up to this point
Author's Note: You are a pokemon. What kind? That's up to you. What if you are a Gijinkas Pokemon or Poke-Human? That's not a problem. It is made so the characters speak to you as if your identity is ambiguous. This makes writing very flexible. Put yourself in the story. You are part of it.
I hope you're ready for this...
(It's over. The storm, the earthquakes, the fire, the flooding, the fissures...all of it. Over. Everyone is happy once again.
Walking through Treasure Town, listening to the trees rustle calmly as a breeze passes by, you watch some Pokemon finish cleaning the debris from their house while others expand. Shops are opening back up. The cafe is no longer flooded. The World Portal is working once again. Everything seems like the way it used to be...but, you feel like there's something missing. Leaving town, you head to Wigglytuff Guild to see Mayor Wigglytuff and Chatot after overhearing some of the townsfolk talking about a "Meeting".)
{~Wigglytuff Guild BF2~}
(Going down to the second floor, you notice a crowd of pokemon blocking the stairway. Some you've never seen before while others are from the Guild; Few of which you remember. In front of the balcony door, facing the crowd towards the stairs is Mayor Wigglytuff and Mayor Chatot.
Wigglytuff: "Alright~! Is everyone in agreement?"
Crowd: "Yes!"
Chatot: "Perfect! Now, return to your daily routine, everyone!
Crowd: "Hooray!"
(As the crowd dissipates, Wigglytuff notices you by the stairs)
"Hiya!" Wigglytuff exclaimed excitedly. Noticing, Chatot turns around as well and see you as you walk towards them.
"Good Morning, If you were here for the meeting, I'm sorry. We just finished up and all Pokemon are to return to their daily routines. If you like, I'd happy inform-"
"Chatot, this Pokemon isn't here for the meeting. Look who it is, haha," Mayor Wigglytuff giggled, cutting Chatot off. Chatot pauses for a moment then looks at you again, squinting and examining you skeptically before realizing who you are.
"*Gasps* Y-You're right! I remember you! You're the Pokemon who helped the Relief Team and saved Supply Expeditionary Force weeks ago. Well! I am certainly happy to see you again! To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?
(Looking around, you ask where you could find Liloxi. The moment you do, the smile on both of the faces fade away instantly as they look down.)
"Right, you were a friend of Liloxi's. How could I have forgotten..." Chatot said, putting his wing over his head.
"Because of the young master, you came to us to help, but now you're looking for him. I'm sorry to say this, but-"
"Go talk to Gwen," Wigglytuff said cutting Chatot off again before looking up at you, reassuringly.
"She's over there, around the corner in her room, the room that used to be the old guest room at the end of the hall. She'll fill you in."
"Wait! Do you really think that's a good idea? Sure, this pokemon has proved to be a great help and supposed friend of Liloxi, but sending them to his daughter!?"
"...Chatot, when you were away to gather Perfect Apples last month...Miya came to visit me, personally. She told me of these dreams she was having, unable to explain them. One of those dreams was a Special Pokemon matching, this one's description, that would one day come to us asking only for Liloxi. She kept saying "These dreams...I feel they may come true." You know me, Chatot. I don't take dreams lightly.
"Miya..." Chatot repeated to himself "...Why did you tell me this?"
"Because, I knew you would've tried to dismiss it, despite knowing it might come true. You always do that," Wigglytuff said, trying to smile, causing Chatot to give an embarrassed look. He then looks at you again.
"She should be in her room, best to go now. After you've talked to her, take one of the guest rooms. I'll be sure to let Overseers know."
"I wish you the best."
{East Wing - Hallway}
(Following Mayor Wigglytuff's directions, you go to the east wing and make your way down the hall. Before making it to her room, you hear noise coming from Liloxi's room.
Curious, you knock on the door. Immediately, the room goes silent.
You try knocking again. No answer.
You then keep knocking until the door suddenly springs open. At the door, an odd-eye Glaceon with Petal-shaped glares at you.)
"You...You don't look like any of my Members and no one should be knocking on this down regardless. Who are you and what do you want?"
(Quickly, you tell her your name and tell her that Mayor Wigglytuff sent you to find someone named "Gwen".)
"I'm...Gwen, but why would the Mayor send you to-wait. What was your name again?
(You tell her your name again. Her eyes widen.)
"That name! I-I know that name! You know my father, don't you? That must be why you're looking for me..."
(Cautiously, you ask her why she was in his room. Saying nothing, she looks off to the side and signals you to come in before closing the door behind you.
Inside, his spacious room looks the same as the last time you visited: A double bed against the back wall under the window, a dresser made of Nevermeltice against the left wall under a stainless mirror, and a lamp next to the bed. The only difference is that everything from his dresser was on the floor.)
"You really caught me at a bad time. I was just about to clean everything up and leave before you knocked, but as far as what I was doing in here? It's a long story.
(She slowly begins picking everything up and putting it back in the dresser.)
"If you haven't guessed by now, my father is missing, along with the Guildmasters. The Guildmasters went missing long before the world's destruction began, but as for my father, I haven't seen him since Jubilee Cave collapsed after the long fight with Prince Jasper, Queen Jupiter's and King Cosmic's Son. Before you even say it, no. He's not dead...I know he's not. He had to have made it out...but I don't know where to. After the disasters stopped a few weeks ago, my team and I went back to dig through the rubble of the cave to find him. When we did, there was no sign of him...
(As she cleans up, she slowly picks up one of Liloxi's Escape Orbs, looking at it sadly. Suddenly, she hurls it against the wall, shattering it and slamming the dresser with her ribbon, cracking it a little.)
DANGIT! He couldn't have died, we were fighting side-by-side a week ago! He can't be gone...
(Ominously, a shadowy haze starts to come off of her body. Looking at her ribbon, she notices it and quickly gets ahold herself, causing the haze to disappear. She then looks at you)
"Crap, I'm sorry about that. I don't have perfect control over my abilities like my father; still learning to control it better...anyways, here. Take this.
(Reaching on the bed, she picks up a journal and hands it to you. It looks new but rather battle-worn. On the front says "Liloxi" etched on the journal, used by some sort of sharp object, like a claw or knife.)
"After he went missing, I was made the Leader of Team Silver by Mayor Wigglytuff and Mayor Chatot a few days ago since Queen also went missing the same time Liloxi did and I'm his daughter, after all. Along with inheriting the title, I was given this bag. It was pulled out of the rubble while we wee searching for him. Inside was only this Journal and nothing more, with a note hanging out, saying: "Do not look past this point. Give this to the Pokemon looking for me..." and your name was in it. Now...I-I did get a bit nosey and a little desperate so I recently decided to look through the journal anyways and...it was blank.
Every. Single. Page. Was. Blank.
Getting even more desperate, I came in here to search for clues until I heard a knock on the door and...here we are. I'm not sure why he specifically wanted you to have a blank book, but it's yours. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to finish clean up his room before anyone finds out I wrecked it. Nice seeing you."
(With nothing more to say, she resume cleaning his room. Left to ponder, you decided to leave the room. Heading to the West Wing, you go to one of the vacant guest rooms and sit on the bed, placing the book in front of you. Examining it again, you slowly open the book and turn to the first page.
It's blank, just as Gwen said.
Confused, you continue to look through the pages, finding them all blank, before going back to page 1.
You refuse to give up.
Siting against the backboard of the bed, you put the journal directly in the sunlight coming from the window to see it better. Without warning, words begin to appear on the first page. Is it Liloxi's handwriting? You begin to read...)

"Hi. If you're reading this, then that's both good news and bad news. The good news is: We did it! We save the world and everyone is safe, but that also means I'm probably no longer available...if you know what I mean...
I'm writing this part right before the big fight. Yes, he's nearby.
We're injured, we're tired...and so much has happened, heck, I don't even know why or how we're still alive.
We lost many good people and my heart goes out to them...
By the way, yes, I know it's you reading this entry and not my daughter or a guild member or someone else, especially if you can see it. Queen and I are going to make the pages translucent, only possible to see in direct sunlight and by your eyes only. Why Sunlight? Well just to confirm we really did save the world, of course. If the sun isn't out, we didn't succeed.
After this page, you will see my entries, everything that happened right after we headed out the next day; after talking to you. It'll...explain everything we've seen and did, some of which we're not proud of.
Anyways, once you're done reading all of the pages, head to
Crescent-Point Mountian, North of Mt. Horn and come back to this page. There will be a message waiting for you.
Enjoy."
