Sonic Mystery Dungeon: REVAMPED Chapter 3, a Pokémon + Sonic the Hedgehog Crossover fanfic

Chapter 3-A New Day

You wouldn't believe this weird dream I had last night! I found myself surrounded by this white mist and there were voices around! But I couldn't understand a word they were saying and soon I found myself being poked at by Tyranitar the next morning. How annoying! If I were still a hedgehog, I would've Spin Dashed him!

"Rise and shine!" he said with a smile and I grumbled back, "For crying out loud; can't a guy sleep in!?"

"Geez you're worse in the morning than Charizard! Now c'mon, Alakazam wants to see you!"

I grumbled again as I sat up and stretched. Yeah I'm not what you call a "light sleeper" and I'm not too much of a morning person, mostly on account of Eggman attacking others in the middle of the night.

I soon got myself out of bed and went outside to see Alakazam. But he wasn't alone! There was some sort weird bird-like Pokémon that seems to resemble a Native carving of some sort I've seen travelling the world a few times. It was mostly green but its white wings were covering most of its body. It also had red, yellow and black markings on it's chest and wings, a long, red feather coming out the back of its head, a yellow bent beak, an a pair of eyes that seems to see through me and it scared me.

I nervously greeted him and Alakazam seemed to be calm about it as if he knew that bird's gaze was unnerving me.

"Sonic, this is Xatu. He will help out with your mystery. I asked him to come here from the Hill of the Ancients since he can see the past and the future when he stares at the sun all day."

I looked in shock at Xatu. "SAY WHAT?! Doesn't that usually hurt your eyes?"

His expression didn't change much as he answered. "Not really. I've gotten used to it since I was a Natu."

I looked at him, completely lost with his answer… and he gave a light chuckle in understanding. "I guess you don't understand that most Pokémon evolve under certain conditions. When they evolve, their appearance changes and they get stronger."

Oh now I get it! It also explains why the base looks different outside compared to Alakazam! He must've had it before evolving and he confirmed it.

"Before we explain evolution more," Xatu said, "can you tell me on how you came here and before that."

I soon explained about the battle I had with Eggman, drawing his weapon in the dirt to the best of my ability. But when I got to the part of the jackal-like creature, Xatu gave off this loud screech that nearly made me jump out of my skin before looking at me with a serious glare…or at least I think it's a serious one since his expression never seems to change too much.

"I now understand what happened. The creature you mentioned, Lucario, was looking for you because our world is in danger and we needed your help."

Why am I not surprised? There's always someone somewhere that needs my help and I'm glad to do so.

"So how should I help?"

"I'm not sure right now but it will soon be clear once I find out. Now I must return to the Hill of the Ancients. If you need any more of my help, don't be afraid to visit."

He soon left and Alakazam and I decided to head to Pokemon square as he explained more of this evolution thing. He told me that some Pokémon evolve by levelling up, while others had special items, or has the right IQ level by eating these things called Gummis and they all evolve at a place called Luminous Cave (For those who use items they have to give them up to the spirit of the cave). Also some evolves twice, some have more than one form, and others evolve only once. I found out that in order for me to evolve I have to have a the right IQ level and a Sun Scarf, but he also says I may be a special case, though that didn't stop my excitement.

"Whoa! That's cool! Then I become like that Lucario Xatu mentioned?"

"Yes, that's right," he replied calmly. "Anyway, we're here! Welcome to Pokémon Square!"

It was amazing! Pokémon Square was a small community built by the Pokémon! There was the Kecleon shop full of supplies for rescue teams sold by Kecleon, the Felicity Bank where a Persian looks after the money here called Poké. Then there's the Kangaskhan Storage where a Kangaskhan keeps an eye on your most important items, the Wigglytuff Club where a Wigglytuff sells friend areas for new rescue team recruits, and the Gulpin Link Shop where a Gulpin links moves for you to use at the same time for only 150 Poké. There's also the Whiscash Pond to the North where a Whiscash lives and kid Pokémon, like Caterpie, play, and the Makuhita Dojo to the south that a Makuhita runs to give rescue teams some training to get stronger for free.

"Where we're going is the Pelipper Post Office where there's a bulletin board that other Pokémon post up jobs for rescue teams to do," Alakazam explained as we got close to a large building near a cliff that overlooks the sea that had Pelipper flying in and out of it delivering the mail to the Pokémon of the area.

"And you're going to get a job for the team, right?" I asked but was surprised to see him shake his head.

"Actually, I'm getting a job for you."

I felt that my eyes nearly popped out of my head at this. "What?! Really?!"

"Yes, really. But be warned: there are Pokémon that have become aggressive and will attack you so you must fight back."

That's got me a bit worried since I'm still new to the whole being a Riolu thing. "But how? I only remember the moves I knew as a hedgehog!"

"Don't worry, your other techniques as a Pokémon will come instinctively," he assured me as he looked at the board for a job.

I looked at it too and saw that each job had a rank on it and he took down and handed me one that was ranked "E" which got me thinking that was a low rank for beginners like myself. I read that a Beedrill needed someone to help look for its child; a Weedle, in a place called Tiny Woods with the rewards being 100 Poké and a random item.

But I got confused again since I didn't know what these Pokémon looked like. "Uh…Alakazam? What are Beedrill and Weedle?"

"Weedle is an orange caterpillar Pokémon with a stinger on its head while Beedrill is a bee Pokémon that had two poisonous barbs on its arms and a stinger. Weedle evolves into Beedrill after becoming a yellow cocoon Pokémon called Kakuna. And don't worry; your clients won't hurt you!"

I breathed a sigh of relief and we went back to the base to get ready for me to go on the job, only to see Charizard waiting outside.

"Hey, Alakazam! Are we going out on a job?"

"Not today, I thought the rest of us deserve a break while Sonic does a few jobs to get used to being a Pokémon."

Charizard seemed surprised. "That's cool! I'll get the extra toolbox for him in case he picks up any berries and other items!"

After he went inside, Alakazam started to explain what he meant. "Berries can help you on a mission. Pecha berries are pink berries that cures poisoning, Oran berries are blue berries that restores strength, Cheri berries are red berries that cures paralysis, and Rawst berries are green berries that heals a burn. There are also Apples and Gummies to keep your stomach full and different bands and scarves that can help you as well, like Special and Power Bands that can boost up Special attack and regular Attack, and Pecha Scarf that prevents poisoning, just to name a few. Also there are different seeds that you can eat, like Blast Seeds for a bit of flame and Reviver seeds to bring you back from fainting, as well as throw, like Sleep Seeds and Warp Seeds."

"Whoa! Looks like I'll be prepared either way!"

"Yep, you sure will!" Charizard added as he came out with a large case in his hands that I figured was the Toolbox. "Now inside are a couple of Oran Berries, a couple of Cheri Berries, a couple of Pecha Berries, a couple of Reviver Seeds, a couple of Max Elixirs to keep up the Power Points of your attacks, a few Apples and a Power Band, just in case."

"Tiny Woods is only a short distance west from here and it's not overly big nor are the Pokémon very strong so you'll be alright," Alakazam said after I took the Toolbox.

"Thanks guys! I'll be back in a flash!"

With that I soon went off to Tiny Woods to find Weedle, but as I left, I found my mind turning back to my friends. Did they know about me becoming a Pokémon, or are they still worried? And will Eggman pull a stunt or two while I'm gone? Oh well, maybe Lucario will help take care of things while I'm here.

Hopefully.

Author's Notes:

I am SOOOO sorry for not updating this in Arceus knows how long! My other stories and life got in the way! So I decided to do this up quick!

Also to those who didn't see my DA journal; due to the fact I'm cross-stitching presents for the family I'm putting my stuff on a temporary hiatus until the new year so I can get them done!

So anyway for this chapter…well things are relatively the same except I added things, took things out, and fixed my grammar and punctuation a bit.

Now for a note in regards to the Mobian Trainers.

I've been getting a lot of suggestions and entries from both DA and FF but after a bit of planning I've decided that there's only going to be 6 picked out from all of the entries I've got that are NOT anonymous reviews. (I can't reply to anonymous reviews directly so if you guys want an entry in, please get a account then review again!)

Any others will have only minor cameo-like roles due to possible reasons like too confusing details, no description of the trainer, ect.

But the bottom line is that only 6 will get a strong role once I get past chapter 13 at last!

Now I have a small question that is vital to the story;

Does anyone know what are the 12 birthstones of the months are?

As far as I can remember Garnet's for January, Amethyst is for February, Peridot is for August, and Turquoise is for December but I forget the rest!

Trust me this is important if you read my original SMD story!

Thanks in advance and don't forget to enjoy and review!
