Chapter 1:Truth Not Be Told
"Augh my head." I muttered, I knew I had hit the ground hard, for all I knew I could have had a concussion. I ran over what I could remember, my name was Derrek, I was 18, tall... How come I can't see much over these flowers if I'm tall? I then remembered the fall, and my revelation regarding it, I was no longer human! What was I? Where am I? What am I...
"Hello? I heard a crash, is anyone there?" I was just about to finish my thought when I heard him, it was strange, I felt as if I knew him. I walked over to him and said greetings to him. Judging by his looks he seems to have misplaced something. Inside the name Drilbur popped out, why would that happen? "Hey, perchance have you seen a mirror? I know I lost it somewhere near here." I shook my head.
"But I could help you find it." I told him. I was helping him search, but he found it himself.
"Thanks," I heard the Drilbur say, "I never got your name, do you know it Zorua?" Hmm, so that's what I'd become...
"My name is Derrek, I think I have amnesia, could you show me around?" I tried to convince him of my lie, I thought it was simple enough to pretend. Especially since I wouldn't recognize anything in the near area.
"Ok, well, first let me take you to town. That's where I'll start the tour. Now, we may have to traverse a Mystery Dungeon, that's a place where evil Pokémon roam and the rooms shift each time you enter. It will be dangerous, so I request you stick with me, and take it slow." He described a place called Plain Plains, it was, what he called a "Mystery Dungeon" he said it was full of normal type Pokémon. He warned me that these Pokémon will hurt you. "Now the problem is that I may have understated the situation, and we have to go through the plains anyways." I nod as he lead us to town. We were entering the Dungeon and I noticed that he is not very relaxed. He was on edge, completely anxious, I could hardly tell that he was calm earlier.
We were moving through the dungeon, so far no pokémon had attacked. I didn't even know that I could defend myself, should it have come to it. I couldn't tell if there were pokémon who were going to attack, it seemed risky. "It's very bland, They were correct in naming the place Plain Plains." I commented. There was not much to call a landmark in this area, one could easily get lost here. While walking, a Meowth walked out of a side path and practically ambushed me, "Why you son of a…" I tried to strike him, but I found that I was clawing him, almost as if I was using my claws to scratch him. It was almost as if I had told my body to attack and it said "Alright, just so long as it's something you have no choice over"
"Nice Scratch, it seems like it'll take 2 more of those to finish that Meowth. I can use Scratch to start as well, I prefer not to use Mud Sport." Drilbur is strange, he talks like I know him, and his personality reminds me of someone else I have met. I had defeated Meowth and we set off, there seems to be very little to explore, "We're almost out, after that the town. It'll be a short tour, the only reason the town would grow is the tourist attraction, extremely vivid dreams, almost like a dream come true. Recently, the shops have been closing down because tourism has gone down, and tourism has been going down because we are no longer having the vivid dreams. I have no clue what is going on with that, but I'll tell you more later, because we are close to the town." We were really close to town? I'd expect the town to be a little further, I mean it seems rather unsafe to be this close to a dungeon. It seems strange, but I can expect it.
We entered the town, but it was empty, "Oh, hello Drilbur, I see you have someone new with you, what's his name? The box shop has closed, Klefki, she moved her business elsewhere. We only have Kengaskhan and me now. Not even the bank is open, you've gotta bury your cash behind your house now. Speaking of house, you might want to go to the next town and hire a carpenter, it seems to be a little beat up, and only getting worse. Also, Zorua, my name is Kecleon, pleased to meet you."
"My name is Derrek, pleased to meet you Kecleon, what do you do here?"
"Derrek here has amnesia, he doesn't remember anything except his name." said Drilbur.
"Ah, you don't see much of that around here, you should take him to the inn to get checked, his health might be in danger. Derrek, I run a shop here, it's easy to keep it running, as I sell most necessities here." Alright, so he's the salesman, I asked if he had any thoughts on why the dreams were vivid. "Could be due to the Mystery Dungeons in the area. Although, I don't really know." Kecleon answered, but judging on his reaction, he hadn't really thought of it before.
"Well anyways, I would take you on a tour of the town, but if you turn around the tour practically completes itself, that's Kengaskhan, she's the person who stores items around here."
"Hiyah, not often we get new people here nowadays, it's a nice sight seeing an unfamiliar face, strangely enough." She said.
"So, can we go see your house? I think I might be able to help, I remember doing some work to build something, but not much other than that." I was studying to be an architect at home, in my pass time I built my dad a shed about 2 months ago, I was understating what I was able to do.
"Alright, it's just I don't think we could do anything about it right yet. I don't have any materials." He took me to his house, it was small, but cozy. I could feel a charm just radiating from it, I got the feel for how this house looks almost instantly, it was old, there were chunks of the roof missing, but it was a thatched roof, I've dealt with that before. It was a very nice place to be, there was a small garden outside.
"Nice place. I could fix this up. Seems quite simple, just a little work. I need a little dry grass, and some timber and this house will be fixed quickly."

This is probably the EARLIEST I will post, I had this one ready to go, and I just wanted it out, not much else to say. Although I did notice I hadn't gotten many views, I assume it's because of bad timing. Although could be the catagory.

So I have chapter 3 finished, and I decided to go back and choose some plot relevant characters, so I figured I should go back and check the one game I hadn't played in this series, I was expecting some legendaries to be free. Hoooo boy, was I wrong! The 1st game took up 2 generations, I couldn't believe it! Seriously peeved about that but I am going with who I felt like picking. Man, was I surprised about that!
