-POV is Minoru's-

I woke up and looked around. Where was I again? Oh yeah, we went to Eitsu's place after that job we did. Man! That Nuzleaf knew how to Razor Leaf!

"Good morning!" An excited Aika walks into the room greeting me.

"Morning." I reply tiredly. Yesterday was exhausting, how early was it? Probably late enough to not be able to go back to sleep, considering Aika was already wide awake. That crazy Aipom was probably awake too.

"Are you hungry? Viola made breakfast." Aika asks cheerfully.

"Viola?" I ask as I get up. If I have to get up, at least the sound of food makes it better.

"The nice, umm…Floatzel? From the other day." The Eevee says as I drag myself to the other room.

"Looks who's finally awake! Took you long enough." Eitsu commented as we entered. Whatever. I went straight to the food.

"Thanks for the food..." I exhaustingly spout as I help myself to the food. It was waffles with Oran Berries in it. Delicious.

"Hahaha, looks like your enjoying it." A Floatzel laughs as she walks in with more food. This must be the Viola who Aika was talking about.

"Thanks." I manage to get out.

"See you all! Be safe." She says as she goes outside.

"So, where exactly are you two traveling to?" Eitsu asks. I look over at Aika.

"Well, she's lost her memory, and I'm searching for information about my parents, I guess…Actually I'm not to sure on where we're going or where we'll end up!" I might be sounding like an idiot right now, but it's the truth. "I never really thought about where to even start looking for something like that!" I know nothing about Aika or my family. Where should we even begin?

"Well, you can start at the Yellowleaf Library." What? Me and Aika stare blankly at him. He continues, "It's the biggest library in the region, they say you can find out anything there. It would be a good place to start, at least." He walked over to a drawer and pulled out a map. "It's not too far from here either." I'm still not sure of what to say, so I just stare at him. He looks over at us. "Come on," he says as he grabs his bag and puts the map in it as he heads out the door. What else are we supposed to do? The stunned Eevee and I follow.

He takes us into the busy town. We go to some shops and he has us buy some supplies. Aika gets a Defense Scarf, me and Eitsu each get a Power Band. We get other items, such as Oran Berries, Rawst Berries, Heal Seeds, etc. He gives me and Aika a small bag to put our stuff in.

"Okay, you two meet me at the entrance to Mist Cave. You didn't leave anything did you?"

"No-wait, what?!" I ask, suddenly confused. Eitsu wanted to meet us at the place he was ranting on us yesterday for going into?

"Okay, see you all in a bit!" He calls running off. I sighed and turned to the Eevee next to me. "Let's get over there, I guess."

-Eitsu's POV-

I get to the post office. She should be here, it is where she works after all. I walk in, and see her in the back, packing something up. I walk over to her, it's kinda hard. She's taken care of me for eight years now after all. She is more of a mom than any of my family has and will ever be. I could careless about them, it's why I left them after all. But her, I really do care about her. She was so kind to me.

"Eitsu? What's up?" The Floatzel asks me casually, but she stops what she's doing and walks over to me. She obviously knows why I'm here.

"Thank you. Really, thank you so much, Viola." She smiles. Her smile is so pleasant, so calm, so peaceful. I'm going to miss that warm, gentle smile.

"Have fun, my dear. And be safe." Her arms grab me close to her and embrace me. "Remember, this is your home. You can come back anytime. I'll have your favorite Sitrus Berry cookies ready for you." I embrace her back, as hard as I can. This is my family, this is my life. In a way, I don't want to go. I want to stay with her forever. With my precious mom. But no, I'm seventeen, and have this want for adventure, excitement, and the unknown! No matter how I try, I can't have that here. Besides, I think I've finally made friends. It's taken me forever, I want to really get to know them. I want to be able to trust in them completely. To be able to laugh with them, cry with them, and have adventures together. It's something I've always wished for. And Viola knows that. I hold her tight for another second. I have to go. They're waiting for me, after all. We let go.

"I'll be fine. Don't worry." I smile at her, at least I try. "Thank you, Viola. Truly." I hold back my tears as I walk away. "I love you so much, Mom."

I'm out of the building, running through the town. There they are. The Pikachu seems slightly annoyed, as always. I think that's just his personality though. It's interesting, indeed. The Eevee, on the other hand, is cheerful and excited that I'm finally here.

"What took you so long? What are we doing here anyway?" Minoru interrogates me as always.

"I thought it was obvious. To Yellowleaf Town."

"You're coming with us?" Aika asks excitedly.

"Let's get to it!" I exclaim, "the mysteries of Mist Cave await!" We enter the Mystery Dungeon.

-Minoru's POV-

We walk around the Mystery Dungeon, trying to find our way. We fight the wild Pokemon, get items, do normal things you do in Mystery Dungeons. After awhile though, it got steamy. It was hot, and it got harder to see the further we went. The wild Pokemon seemed to be getting a little tougher, too. We have traveled really far through the dungeon, it should be the end soon. Hopefully.

"Why do we have to be in here, of all places!" A female voice complains. I look over at Eitsu and Aika. Eitsu motions us to be quiet, and we hide behind a rock. At least the fog helps us not be seen, for now.

"Because no one comes here! And I like it quite nice." A male voice responds.

"Well that's just you! We don't like it here, do we, Mason?"

"Um..." a third voice responds, "do I have to answer, Jane?"

"Yes!" She yells at him. Wait… they sound familiar…

"Well, it's not the most comfortable place-"

"See! I told you, Gale!" She cuts him off.

"He wasn't even finished!" Gale argues back. "Go ahead, Mason."

"But it doesn't seem to have any visitors…"

"See!" This time it's Gale yelling at Jane, it seems. Wait, these names and voices sound somewhat familiar. I look at Eitsu and Aika. The Eevee seems exhausted, and doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the voices. The Aipom, however, looks to be thinking the same thing I am. It seems like the Pokemon from yesterday. What do we do? Fight? Sneak through? Go a different way? I look over at Eitsu to figure out an an answer.

"Geez, can't we do something about this heat though?!" Jane, I'm guessing the Nuzleaf from yesterday, continued to complain.

"Sorry if I can't control the temperature." Mason, I'm guessing the Larvitar from yesterday, answers. Eitsu punches the air with his tail, probably suggesting we fight. I see no other way around it. I wish it was clearer in here, though! The mist makes it so hard to see. I try to take a peek at our opponents, but there isn't much I can see. Slight silhouettes and a small fire. Fire? Why would they light a fire? No wait, the flame is on it's tail! Is it part of the Charmander family? I step forward a bit to get a closer look. They seem to turn my way, realizing that someone was there.


Here's another one! Please excuse me if something seems weird in this chapter, I wrote this at like, 3am. In other news, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon hype! I'm really excited to see what this new game is going to have to offer. Who else is super psyched for this? Well, thank you all for reading! I would love it if you could review. Have an awesome day. :-)
