Me: Hehehehehe, I'm back my friends and hopefully better than ever!
Salazar: Can I speak again? Las time you banned me from speaking in the intro…
Me: Awww, okay!
Salazar: Yes! HERE I COME ZUBAT!
Me: Why…..?
Salazar: He keeps insulting me *pout, then evil grin* I'm about to show him I know A LOT more swear words! Like-
Phoebe: WE ARE NOW CONTINUEING THE STORY!
*PMDEOT*
For the second time -today alone!- I was awoken on a beach by a Ralts after being knocked unconscious. But there were a couple differences, to start off, I happened to know where I was, somewhat, I knew I was a Pokemon, I knew the Ralts, named Phoebe, and Phoebe happened to be grinning this time.
"That almost leveled me up!" She said grinning and I had to resist the urge to go drown myself. ALMOST? ALMOST LEVELED UP? We are officially going in that frickin cave, psychic move or no psychic move.
"Okay then, ouch, we are going in that, ouch, cave, and you will, ouch, level up in there. Can I have an Oran Berry or something? I am in pain." I said sitting up and groaning, then she held out a heavenly blue oval. Sure it wasn't actually heavenly, but it was when all the pain went away.
"Thank you! Now that I am officially not going to faint any more, let's head on into the cave!" I said and began marching towards it, but of course Phoebe held back hesitant. I ended up grabbing her feet and dragging her there as she clawed at the ground. It was really comedic to the Krabby, who fell over laughing and landed in the sea.

"See, it isn't that bad?" I said carrying Phoebe like a potato sack that was decidedly not talking to me at the moment.
Of course when I said that a Shellos attacked us and we fell over sprawled.
"What the heck! Stupid Shellos!" I said irritated and Phoebe growled at it.
"You are in my home! Leave my home, invaders!" It called out and attacked again. I must say, getting attacked by a blue sea slug was much more appealing than getting beaten by Phoebe.
"Quick Attack!" I called and slammed into it, sending it back about a meter.
"Oh yeah?" It growled and just basic attacked me again, and I used Quick Attack once more, causing its unconsciousness.
"I have to say, knocking things out is much more appealing than getting knocked out." I said and Phoebe shrugged and we continued on. At least she was walking by now.
After trudging through the damp cave for about 10 more minutes we encountered our next Pokemon assault when a Corsola tackled me to the ground.
"Mph!" I grunted into the not so soft rock and was on my feet before it could attack again.
"My home! You will leave!" It growled and I decided I hated being the only one capable of fighting a Pokemon with an actual move when a Shellder attacked Phoebe.
"Little help here?" She said panicked and barely dodged a tackle attack from the stupid thing.
"Come over here! Growl at them or something!" I said panicked and we stepped simultaneously to the right when the Shellder leaped at us, which sent us into the Corsola's range. The coral Pokemon sent us backwards and I landed on Phoebe. She roughly pushed me off and before anyone could do anything more, a shot at the Shellder like a rocket and it tackled me in rebellion.
Moves officially hurt more than regular attacks.
"Stupid Shellder!" I shouted in frustration and I heard Phoebe squeal as the Corsola attacked her with Tackle. Phoebe used a regular attack on it, which inevitably didn't do much, and I used quick attack on the stupid thing, which eventually just fainted. The Shellder lunged again and I side-stepped it, which sent it straight for Phoebe. Phoebe squealed and slapped it before it hit her, sending it off course and it hit a wall, knocked out cold.
We kinda just looked at each other a moment before she started giggling lie a maniac.
"That was kinda fun!" She said and I looked at her in shock. Fun? Really?
"And the best part is, I LEVELED UP!" She squealed and we rapidly started talking. She was trying to tell me what move she learned and I was trying to tell her I knew she would level up in here until we both ran out of breath and she finally got to talk.
"I'm level six now! I'm still really weak but now I know Confusion, which is super effective against Zubat AND Koffing!" She got out at last and we cheered and high-fived and all the like, then we remembered that there was still the issue of making it to them, and our mood was slightly dampened, but we continued with glee.
"Are those the stairs?" She said pointing to the room ahead of us, and indeed, we found our first staircase. We ran at it like it was a lifeline and got down to the second floor of our first Mystery Dungeon together.

Upon reaching the second floor we immediately saw a Kabuto, which I was about to use Quick Attack on, when I noticed it was sleeping. Phoebe ran down the stairs and also saw the Kabuto. She was about to growl at it when I covered her mouth with my hand and whispered, "Leave it! It's sleeping!" She nodded and we inched our way out of the room and ran down the corridor to the next room, which of course had an AWAKE Kabuto.
"Why? Who did I anger in my past life!" I said rhetorically, then it occurred to me that that might actually be affecting me, considering I WAS human earlier.
"Harden!" It yelled and its shell seemed to glow with it's defense increase.
"Dang it! I can't do that much to it now!" I said irritated but Phoebe grinned.
"Too bad for it, it can't raise it's special defense." She said maliciously and it started twitching as the weak psychic move affected it and it fainted after one more shot at it by Phoebe.
We continued in semi-silence as Phoebe hummed to herself and I wondered if something changed her. She seemed to enjoy knocking out Pokemon by now. And it kind of worried me.
What if she got mad at me? She was super effective against me, and I did drag her in this. Maybe this was a bad idea…
*PMDEOT*
Me: Now we leave poor Salazar and crazy Phoebe and wonder if she'll go insane and kill our little Riolu. Hopefully not, he hasn't even raised a level yet!
Salazar: Is that the only reason you don't want her to kill me?
Me: No! Of course not silly! The other reason is that you guys have fans!
Salazar: *Pout and turn away*
Phoebe: I promise I won't kill you! *Continues crazy hummed tune*
