"Please, you have to hold on!"
"...I- I can't..."
"Don't let go!"
"It's the end for me.."
"I can't lose you too!"
"I won't be truly gone, as long as you remember me."
"Please, just hold on!"
"...I'm sorry, but you have to let go. Farewell..."
"No... NOOOO!"
The storm raged on, the rain pouring harder in grief. A figure is seen falling from a dangerous cliffside and onto the rocks below.
"I will never forget you."
A/N: If you recognise which game this comes from, you can see the irony of the situation. Welcome to my new fanfic! This is my next project after PMD:EDL, which is yet another Mystery Dungeon game. So enjoy~!
Sometimes it's hard to know,
Where you are supposed to go;
Where you belong, where you fit in,
Where you can bring out the you within!
But know, that with your friends,
Your adventures never end!
Yeah, deep inside, you know you're strong,
If you follow your heart, you can't go wrong!
Stand up! For all that is right,
Be brave! Prepare to fight for the light,
Hold on! We're friends for life,
And if we come together as one,
To claim what's ours, to right what's done,
Hand in hand, we will stay strong,
Complete the quest that we've begun,
We will win the battle,
Our lifelong battle!
Pokémon!
The Order of Time
Episode 1: The Awakening
Masara Town
"Here we are, the beautiful Masara Town!" a young woman exclaimed as her blue hair flew in the wind. On a nearby bike sat a small yellow mouse, the two admiring the rustic farm village with different kinds of fruit trees all around. It was a small town, connected to the northern Viridia with a small road, which the duo have travelled on.
"I heard it was beautiful in the spring, but this is absolutely gorgeous!" This is Dawn Berlitz, an early teenage girl, with her partner Yellow, a Pikachu. One can see a yellow gear tattoo on her right hand and in the Pikachu's tail.
"So where should we go first, Yellow?" Dawn asked her small partner.
"Do I have a choice?" the mouse Pokémon deadpanned. Dawn sweatdropped.
"Then to the stores it is!" the bluenette exclaimed after regaining her composure, getting on her bike and pedalling downtown.
Masara Beach
"I can't believe the stores sell Luminous Orbs that expensive," Dawn huffed as she walked away from Masara Town, placing her bike in a stand as she entered the peaceful beach.
"Wow, so many Krabby!" Dozens of Krabby were sitting side by side, blowing bubbles into the sunset sky. "So peaceful, it makes one forget about all her worries!"
"Hey, what's that?" Yellow remarked. Dawn gazed away from the beautiful sky to the crashing waves, slowly rising and falling back. The coastline seems to go on forever...
"I-It's a person!" Dawn exclaimed.
?'s POV
...Where am I?
...Who am I?
...Am I dead?
...I feel a pleasant breeze...
"Are you okay, sir?"
3rd POV
"Are you okay, sir?" Dawn asked the man who looked a little older than Dawn. He wore a worn out cloak and had raven black hair. But the most interesting thing about him is his cyan blue eyes, shining with power but filled with uncertainty.
"Where am I?" the raven looked about nervously, not seeming to remember anything. "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Dawn Berlitz, and this is my friend Yellow!" the bluenette replied happily. "So who are you?"
"I'm..." the man began, but then trailed off. "I don't remember," he admitted solemnly.
"Really!? That's sad," Dawn said worriedly. "So, we'll just have to give you a name! Let's see... You have black hair, black as ash... There, Ash! We'll call you Ash," she exclaimed.
"Okay..." the now called Ash replied.
"So do you have a Pokémon, like those you keep in an Aprikorn?" Dawn asked after Ash recovered enough strength from her healing spell.
"Like me!" Yellow exclaimed.
"Apparently not," Ash remarked, looking around for any other Pokémon besides Yellow and the Krabby.
"Then I guess we'll just have to give you one at the guild," Dawn declared, and then dragged Ash into town. "Let's get something to eat!"
Masara Town
Dawn knew that Ash was hungry, but she didn't know he was that hungry.
"Hey, slow down! You're wolfing everything down too fast!" Dawn exclaimed comically as Ash continued eating.
"So," Ash asked after he finished eating. "What are guilds?"
"Well, guilds are organizations where trainers and Pokémon help each other do tasks and jobs," Dawn replied matter-of-factly. "They can also be considered schools where trainers can hone their skills until the team is fit to go solo. I'm actually here for a certain job, I'm just looking for the client!"
"I think around this time it's the client that's looking for you," Ash remarked as he wolfed down his second serving. Dawn and Yellow sweatdropped.
"There you are!" an old lady exclaimed, looking at the bluenette angrily. "I've been searching the entire Masara for you, young lady! I thought you were going to heed my job request!"
"I'm so sorry ma'am!" Dawn bowed in apology. "We'll accomplish your request this instant!"
"How about the food?" Ash asked.
"You continue eating, I can handle this!" Dawn replied hurriedly as the two dashed off.
"Hey wait for me!" Ash exclaimed, finishing what was left on Yellow's plate and following Dawn.
"Kids these days..." the old woman muttered.
Masara Woods
"So where's this 'monster' we need to find?" Yellow asked Dawn as the two traversed through the dark woods.
"According to the old lady, the monster likes to hide in the trees and scare people," Dawn replied, unmounting her bike and placing it in a corner.
"Like this?" Ash suddenly appeared from behind Dawn, making her freeze in fright. "Gotcha~"
"Hey!" Dawn complained in an annoyed fashion. "Don't jump on us like that! It was scary!"
"Sorry," Ash replied sheepishly.
"Seriously, don't do that," Yellow replied, but was suddenly shushed. "But-" he was shushed again.
"Do you hear that?" Ash asked no one in particular as he prepared a glowing blue sphere. "Something's there," he declared as he heard a rustle in the foliage. He then threw the blue ball of light towards the trees, and at the same time a green Pokémon batted it away with its tail, but not without taking damage. It then landed on the ground without sound.
"A Treecko!" Ash exclaimed.
A/N: So Chapter 1 ends! Just like what one would expect, I gave Ash a Treecko , however, you will have the chance to decide Ash and Dawn's next Pokémon~ Please review, and nonconstructive flames will burn in Mt. Cinnabar.
