Farfetch'd, Bagon, and Natu

Patchwork Cave was one of the stranger Mystery Dungeons in the region. Most Dungeons had at least the same look, if random layouts. Patchwork Cave seemed to have random looks as well. One chamber would be pale white limestone while the next would be sparkling red sandstone. One would have lots of water while another would be as dry as bone. Because of this, it was much easier to get lost in Patchwork Cave than to find the exit.

"Are you sure that we shouldn't have taken an easier mission instead?" Bagon asked.

"Buck up, buddy," Farfetch'd replied, twirling his green and white leek stick around. "Patchwork Cave is known for holding amazing treasures. We might pick up something awesome along the way."

"Our client got lost because she was looking for treasure and got in trouble. Who's to say that we won't get trapped too?"

"Isn't it a little strange that you're the worried one?" Natu asked.

Bagon shook her head. "Just because I like cliff diving doesn't mean I'm reckless. My last group ditched me because I was too practical for their tastes."

"Pity for them." The small bird glanced around, then pointed his beak towards a pile of rocks. "Could you clear that? I think that's the way."

"That's the rockslide, huh? All right." Bagon lowered her head, then charged at the rocks. The pile collapsed into the next room, clearing the path. "There you go."

Natu hopped over, then bowed. "Good work. Hopefully the Jynx isn't far. Farfetch'd, go check that hole up there."

"Right-o." Once he got into the new chamber, he flew up to the hole and peered around. "Heeelloooo? Any cuties stuck down thereeeee?"

The leader of the team sighed and hopped along down the chamber. Bagon followed him, glancing up at her teammate. "Is he always like that?"

"Yes, but it's not enough for me to dissolve the team. Hmm? What's that?"

At the end of this chamber, there was a crack in the ceiling, allowing a shaft of golden sunlight to descend upon a strange rock. The white rock had been carved into a perfect cube. Stuck in it, or growing out of it, was a green and white leek stick just like the one Farfetch'd carried. There was something mysterious and majestic about the set-up.

"But it's a stick," Bagon said, tilting her head. "Who would go to this effort to display a stick?"

"I know who would," Natu replied. She hopped around. "Farfetch'd! There's something you should see."

"What, a luscious babe?" He flew down to them. "Are you just," then he looked past them to see the stick. His lower beak dropped. "Tha... that..."

"It's a stick," Bagon said helpfully.

He hopped up and flapped his wings. "That's not just a stick! I never thought I'd ever... that's the legendary Styxcaliber! Oh my word, I think I'm gonna faint."

"Get the bag," Natu ordered.

"Oh, uh, right, that bag!" The Bagon opened up her pack and pulled out a brown paper sack. She put that over Farfetch'd beak. "We can't have you fainting this far into Patchwork Cave."

After taking a few deep breaths, Farfetch'd pulled the bag off. "Phew thanks. Anyhow, that is Styxcaliber, the most powerful stick known to Pokemonkind. It was owned by the greatest Farfetch'd warrior king ever, King Farthur who ruled over the fair kingdom of Pokelot with his lovely Queen Genev're. It is said that whoever can pull Styxcaliber from the rock will be the best hero of the age. And it's right here in front of us!"

"Are you making that up?" Bagon asked.

"No! It's a precious tale passed on from Farfetch'd to Farfetch'd for generations. I would not joke about Styxcaliber." He crossed his wings across his chest and stuck his beak in the air.

"But it looks like your stick."

"It is not like my stick. My stick is good, yes, but Styxcaliber is perfect! It has the perfect balance of weight, the ideal shape for gripping with a beak or wing, thin edges that never dull... it's every Farfetch'd's dream to own Styxcaliber. So I'm gonna take it."

"Are you sure? Natu?" She looked at their leader; he was staring at Styxcaliber with wide eyes. "Natu? What's wrong?"

"He does this from time to time, no biggie. I'll just..."

He waddled towards the stick in the stone, but Natu quickly hopped into his path. "Don't draw that stick."

"What? Why not? It's the best stick ever."

"Something evil is sealed by the stick. I see great destruction, battles that last all day, evil clouds, leaping flames... do not take that stick."

"Are you sure about that? What if we're supposed to take the stick in order to fight against the great destruction you see?"

"I guess it could be... but should we really risk it?"

"We'll be fine. You just worry too much." Farfetch'd hopped up with a quick flap of his wings to get on top of the cube stone.

"And you don't worry enough."

"Oh, I'm sure." He grabbed hold of Styxcaliber with his wing and pulled. However, the stick wouldn't budge. "Sheesh... it's... really stuck in there."

"Maybe if you use your beak?" Bagon suggested.

"Maybe." He bit onto Styxcaliber and jerked upward. His beak slipped and he tumbled off the rock. "Owww."

"So you're not ready to take your legendary stick," Natu said, sighing in relief. "Come, we still have to find Jynx."

"Sooo disappointing," Farfetch'd moaned, looking mournfully at Styxcaliber. Then he turned and followed his teammates into the next chamber. "Now when are we gonna find the babe?"

…

Ruby/Sapphire entry: Farfetch'd is always seen with a stick from a plant of some sort. Apparently, there are good sticks and bad sticks. This Pokemon has been known to fight with others over sticks.

Bagon FR/LG entry: Its steel-hard head can shatter boulders. It longingly hopes for wings to grow so it can fly.

Natu Leaf Green entry: Because its wings aren't yet fully grown, it has to hop to get around. It is always staring at something.

I could have used the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda series. But Styxcaliber is infinitely funnier.
