This is the product of playing Pokemon mystery dungeon explores of time and reading about romance sub-plots in Language, then having my mixed up brain play with that for a while. Well, have fun then! (Yes I changed the dialogue a bit so DEAL WITH IT!)

*PMDEOT*

"No please! Hang on! No! No I can't! No! NOOOOO!"

And it all went black.

I regained consciousness and the lightning cracked across the sky like a god's whip. I was lying on a beach, wounded, tired, dizzy, and falling back into my comatose state once more.

*PMDEOT*

"Are you okay? Oh no please wake up!" I heard a voice say desperately. I couldn't place my finger on who it was, it was a foreign voice. I groggily opened my eyes and saw a Ralts staring down at me worried. I looked around sleepily for its trainer. Too bad it didn't have one. It looked so relieved when I woke up.

"Oh my gosh I was so worried about you! I thought that you were dead or something!" The Ralts said, and I did what would be natural if a human woke up one day to have a Pokemon talk to them. I yelled and backed away, and the Ralts looked both offended and worried. "What's the matter?"

"Y-y-you j-just t-talked!" I stammered and noticed something was wrong with the way I spoke, and I felt different all over, but it didn't occur to me to check myself over.

"Well ya I talked. Do you like come from a world of mute Pokemon of something?" It asked joking, and then noticing I wasn't laughing grew concerned. Again.

"No, the land where I come from Pokemon can only communicate with Pokemon…" I said and a crazy idea grew in my head.

"Well, ummm, I AM talking to a Pokemon right?" It asked scared. And my fears were confirmed. I looked down and saw a blue-black body, a small blue tail, and minor spike-ish lumps on my arms. I took a deep, panicked breath and went over to the ocean and looked at my self. I saw a really confused and scared Riolu looking back at me. I started to hyper-ventilate. Manly right?

"WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME?" I asked shrilly. And the Ralts backed away alarmed. I took another deep breath and sighed and shook my head vigorously. "I'm sorry. I really am, I didn't mean to frighten you. It's just that when I was knocked unconscious, I was… a human." I said and the Ralts's eyes widened and the jaw dropped. I decided as long as I was a Riolu I should test my Aura powers. I stuck my sensors out from the side of my head and honed in on Ralts. After trying to focus for a minute or two, I gave up and sighed.

"You were… you were… a… a human?" It asked shocked and I nodded in defeat. "Well then, tell me all about yourself! Human or Pokemon I don't care!" It said cheerily and I looked up at it shocked. It was so friendly, and it just met me! So I decided to tell it. But the more I racked my brain, the more I realized I couldn't, I didn't remember anything, nothing but my name!

"I uhhhh… I can't remember… I remember my name, but everything else is a blur…" I said shifting uncomfortably and the Ralts looked dejected.

"Well if you didn't want to tell me-" it said hurt and I leapt up and shook my head.

"No really! Nothing! I seriously don't know! All I remember is that my name is Salazar." I said looking earnestly to it, and studying it. I saw something shimmer faintly around it, and bit back a yelp of joy when I realized it was its aura. Or should I say HER aura. She looked at me suspiciously and looked carefully at me, the sensors on her head twitched a bit. She relaxed and gave me a pitying, warm smile. I gritted my teeth and grinned at her. If there's one thing I hate, it's other people's pity. I can't stand being weak enough to be pitied.

"So what's your name?" I asked desperately trying not to cuss at her for pitying me. Soon though she stopped with that smile and moved onto one of pure cheerfulness.

"I'm Phoebe!" She said and stuck her hand/paw/whatever out for me and I shook it. "I came to the beach to watch the Krabby blow bubbles and saw something lying in the sand and came to investigate, and I'm glad I did, you seem like a nice guy Salazar!" She said and I held back a snort. If she knew me she would not be saying that, I'm sort of an ass, but I would never admit it out loud.

"You too Phoebe, I'm glad that at least someone is gonna help me find my way." I said and nearly recoiled in shock from my words. I don't say stupid mushy things like that! Too bad. If I'm going to live with Pokemon, I may as well, lie and make them help me, than tell the truth and be beaten down.

"So even though you can't remember anything, can you tell me what you think it might have been like to be human?" she asked hopefully and I started wondering how she could function without a brain.

"That would be like asking any random Pokemon what they think it would be like to be human." I said slowly, as if explaining it to a child, and what I read off of her aura, she was only like… I don't know how old or experienced as a human, but she's only a level 5. She looked crestfallen and I quickly adjusted my tone and approach, Time to grin and bear it. "But asking me is definitely a better option, I'm sorry if I sounded rude but this is all so shocking." The words are like poison but I don't go back to my true self. She looked slightly more confident and started reaching into a bag I had not seen before now.

She took out what looked like a rock/stone/cement piece that had some weird inscription on it. "This is my relic fragment." She explained and I couldn't think for the life of me a way to avoid this obviously personal back-story. "I found it a couple months back and keep it with me to find courage in myself. It probably isn't worth much but it's special to me and—OOF!" She exclaimed as she was knocked backwards by a Zubat and Koffing. The Koffing reminded me strongly of a sumo wrestler for some reason, and the Zubat of some weird minion thing.

"Well look what we have here?" the Zubat said in a REALLY annoying nasally voice. "It seems so precious to you, maybe we CAN get some cash out of this thing somehow!" It said and I felt my actual brave-I'm-going-to-help-for-once side kicking in.

"Actually, I don't think you will, cause you ain't getting' it!' I growled and they regarded me a person would an annoying ant.

"Ya, and why would that be?" the Koffing said in a deeper, and admittedly more intimidating, voice.

"Cause I won't let you!" I said balling my hands/paws into fists. The Zubat and Koffing shared a glance, then burst out into fits of humiliating laughter. I felt the blood rush to my face.

"You? You take down us? ALONE?" They said cackling like hyenas. I turned to Ralts and she was backed up to the ocean-line, tears of fear and shame trickling down her face and adding to the body of salt-water. She shook her head. She's not gonna help me here, and I'm going to get DESTROYED.
