"Wait up!" I yell at Eitsu. Of course, it is Aika who follows the Aipom and says, "Let's go, Minoru!" I catch up to the group as we make our way toward the thief.
"So, what exactly are we doing in this mission anyways?" I asked Eitsu.
"Well, obviously not going into Mist Cave."
I glared at him. I knew that!
He laughed and said, "getting something back from someone for our client."
"Perhaps some more details?"
"Nah."
After walking in silence for a bit, with me glaring at Eitsu, the annoying Aipom guiding us proceeds to rant on us about how stupid we were for going into Mist Cave.
"Most are smart and know what they're getting into before going somewhere. Also, if you'd of done your research, you would've known that Mist Cave is one of the hardest Mystery Dungeons in the area!"
"Sorry if I didn't know that!" I yelled back at him. The idiot didn't have to tell us about our every single little mistake!
"Um..." the two of us look over at the poor confused, little Eevee who continues, "what is a 'mystery dungeon'?"
After pausing for a second at the question, or the fact that she was even here, Eitsu exclaims, "how do you not know what that is?!"
"Well, she did lose her memory." I said looking back at the Aipom.
"And, I don't think I lived in this area before..."
"Course you didn't! Never seen an Eevee around here before. Pretty rare here in the Prananor region."
"Are they? My sister's an Eevee."
"Do you live around here?"
"Well, I don't live far from here."
"Anyways, a Mystery Dungeon is a place where the area is distorted and it becomes maze-like. Many of the Pokemon who live there end up going insane and attacking travelers. They range from easy to hard, of course. This one we're going to for our job is a pretty easy one in this area."
Well, at least Aika got him off the subject of scolding us. Still, it seems pretty weird that she doesn't know anything about this world, now that I think about it. It's surprising that she doesn't know about evolving or Mystery Dungeons. Even if she did lose her memory, not remembering the basics is pretty strange. She does somewhat knows how to fight, though. Aika, you are confusing me way more than you need to!
"Here we are!" The crazy Aipom exclaims, "this is the beginning to the Mystery Dungeon. At the end is where we will be completing our request."
I take a look around as we enter. It seems similar to outside the Mystery Dungeon. I can barely notice a difference. I do, however, feel a more eery presence in here. It makes me want to get this mission over quick.
-Point of View Switching to Aika's Here-
The first thing I notice as we walk around is that it is indeed a maze! Turn a corner, dead end. Go back, dead end. I can't seem to figure out which way is what! I'm glad I have Minoru and Eitsu here with me, I wouldn't be able to do anything otherwise. Me and Minoru take turns leading through the Mystery Dungeon. Even though Eitsu is here to help us, for some reason he doesn't want to lead. How strange.
"You're the one who dragged us into this maze, why don't you lead for once?" Minoru stops to complain to Eitsu.
"Now why would I do that? Too much work, too much work. No thanks." Eitsu casually answers back.
"Are we even going the right way?!" Minoru doesn't seem to like to lead either.
"Do you want me to lead again?" I ask him. They look over at me, a little surprised. Was it such a strange question? "I mean..." I start a little hesitant.
"Go ahead, missy," Eitsu says, "we should be almost there."
"If we're almost there why don't you lead?" Minoru asks him, but Eitsu seems to ignore him. I look around to try and figure out which way to go. I walk straight and then take a left, ending up in a wider room with some items on the ground.
"What are those things on the ground?" I ask the two of them, hoping its not another stupid question. I seem to ask a lot of those. We walk over to them and Eitsu picks one up with his Aipom tail. "This is a Sleep Seed. You can throw it at enemies to make them fall asleep and easier to battle, blah blah blah." He puts it in his bag and picks up the other item. "This is an Oran Berry, blah blah. Eat it to restore energy and heal some wounds, blah blah blah." He puts it away too, and I continue to navigate our way around. We make it to a clearing with two Pokemon I don't know.
"Hey, what are they?" I whisper to the Pikachu and Aipom next to me. Minoru sighs, Eitsu laughs, getting the attention of the Pokemon.
"What do you guys want?" The little green one questions aggressively.
"The one that just spoke is a Larvitar, the other is a Nuzleaf." Minoru whispers to me, ignoring the Larvitar. Eitsu stops laughing and decides to answer the now annoyed Pokemon. "I think its simple. You stole something, and we are here to get it back. Are we going to fight now?" Eitsu gets straight to the point, doesn't he? So do our opponents, it seems.
-Switch POV To Third Person-
The Nuzleaf rushes at Minoru with Fake Out, while the Larvitar uses Sand Storm.
"What you doing, Mason? I'm here too you know!" The Nuzleaf yells at her comrade.
"You can deal with it, Jane." The Larvitar answers back charging at Aika with a Bite. The Pikachu knocks him away with a Quick Attack.
"Thanks, Minoru!" The Eevee exclaimed gratefully.
"Instead of thanks, missy, fight!" The Aipom shouted as he aimed a Swift at their enemies. Aika tries to attack with Quick Attack, but the Sand Storm caused her to miss. The Nuzleaf aims Razor Leaf at her three opponents, hitting Minoru pretty hard. Eitsu dodges it, seemingly easily, and uses Fury Swipes at the Larvitar, while Aika uses Helping Hand. Minoru uses Quick Attack at the Nuzleaf, and she hits him back with Pound. Larvitar uses Bite on Eitsu, the Aipom attacking back with Astonish. Aika uses Swift on the Nuzleaf, considering she wasn't sure on her accuracy, especially in this Sand Storm! Eitsu switches his target over to the Nuzleaf and uses Fury Swipes. Minoru uses another Quick Attack on the Nuzleaf. She replies by hitting the Pikachu with Razor Leaf, and her friend has a Bite aimed at him as well. Aika, however, stops him with a Quick Attack. The continuous pounding of the Sand Storm causes the exhausted Nuzleaf to fall. Eitsu uses Fury Swipes, Minoru and Aika, Quick Attack. The two exhausted Pokemon stand up and run into the woods.
"Do we go after them?" The equally exhausted Eevee questions. Eitsu rummages around the stuff they left behind and answers, "no, the item is right here. Let's go back."
"But what about them?" The almost fainted Pikachu asks.
"Our objective wasn't them, but the stolen item. Let's go back for tonight." And the threesome return to town, return the object, and return to Eitsu's home to sleep.
Oh wow, school is an actual thing that has you do stuff. Who would've known? Apparently not me. Oh well, it's summer now so that's means I'm not busy! I mean…As busy as I would be with school. I'm slightly busy, but have a lot more free time now! Sorry it took so long to get this out, but you know…school…and laziness…Well, I hope you enjoyed, and thank you for reading! :-)
