Pokemon mystery Dungeon: Explorers of sky

Chapter 3: Rivals

(SMACK!) The two cat pokemon Tackled the Vulpix!

"URGH!" Flarenia yelled as she crashed to the sandy floor.
"What?"

Glameow purred. "I am dearly sorry. I didn't see you there."

Embern barked. "What was all that about?! You could had hurt her badly!"

Skitty saw a Rock with an odd pattern. "This is yours Vulpix?" She asked.

Flarenia got up. "T-that's-"

Flarenia was interrupted by the Skitty snatching it! "i'll take that! Thank you very much!"

"I-I Beg your pardon?!" Flarenia yelled in shock.

Glameow chuckled. "You didn't herd what the Skitty said? We'll barrow it forever for now on."

Embern growled. "Look furballs! You can't just come here to bring trouble! Return that item now! Or i'll turn you into Murkrow food!"

Glameow made Embern yelped. She had her claws out. They were close to his face. "Don't you dare say another treat Canine! I'll tear you into pieces!"

"Urrghg..." Embern growled.

Skitty ran to a cave, and stopped to wait for her partner.

Glameow waled over to the Skitty. "Your not going to make a move to get it back now hm? What a shame. Too timid to do anything. I'll see you later. Moew-heow-heow!" And with that, they entered the cave.

As soon as they were out of sight, Flarenia feel to the sand. her little paws covered her eyes in complete shame. "ooooh... I can't believe that they took it away like that!"

Embern growled. "I can't believe that I was scared of a stupid fashion freak."

Lilli spoke up. "Don't worry you two! Me and Darklo will help you get the item back!"

Flarenia's face brightened. "You will?" She asked.

Darklo nodded. "Isn't that what friends are for? We won't let those cats get away with that! Let's move out!"

The group ran into the cave. It was very misted and wet.

Embern growled. "These cats choose the right place to flee. I hate wet places.

Lilli became confused. "What's wrong with this place? It's just water!"

Flarenia spoke up. "Me and Embern hate water because we are fire type pokemon. Pokemon can fight by using elements. Our type tells us what element we best control and what our weakness is. I am a fire type, like i said before. So my weakness is water."

Embern spoke as well, "You two are normal types. So you two can fight with basic attacks like Tackle. I am fire, so I can fight with fire."

Flarenia spoke once more. "You see, we also have weaknesses. Like Embern explained, me and him are Fire types. If a water type pokemon came to battle us, our chance of winning is little. Depending on the pokemon.

"Speaking of a water type, here is one now!" Embern called.

Everyone went to Embern'd direction, a slug-like pokemon that is blue and green came slowly, observing the team.

Lilli looked uncomfortable. "Ew... what is that thing?" She mumbled.

Embern observed it. "A Shellos. Be careful Flarenia, it might know Mudslap.

The Shellos slapped some mud at the Growlithe.

"ARRGH!" Embern yelped. He shook his head rapidly, shaking the mud off. "That was super effective!"

"Fire types are also weak to Ground type moves." Flarenia sighed.

"You stupid Shellos! That hurt!" Embern barked. He ran to the Shelos and pounded it. The Shellos was then knocked out. "The move I just used is called Pound."

Darklo pointed to the Shellos. "Did you just killed it?"

"Nah." Embern said as he joined the group. "I forgot to mention that Pokemon has HP. Stands for Hit Points. If you run out, you black out and is unable to battle. Each time you level up, you receive more HP."

"Look! A Kabato!" Flarenia called. She then faced the two former humans. "Okay, this is your chance. Attack it."

Lilli and Darklo looked at each other for a moment. "I don't know..." They said.

"YAAAAAAAAAH!" The Kabato yelled, about to attack.

Lilli and Darklo ran to the Kabato and Tackled it. It got knocked out.

"We did it." Darklo said.

Then, a shock of energy was charged around Lilli's body. "What was that?" She yelped. She thought she saw herself glow for a second.

"Congrats! You leveled up my friend! We all did! We are currently on level 6." Embern said.

"How many leveled are their?" Darklo asked.

"100." Flarenia replied.

"Dang!" Darklo growled.

"I see stairs!" Flarenia called, running ahead.

"Stairs?" Lilli repeated in confusion.

"This could be a mystery dungeon! Common!" Embern barked.

They went down the stars.

"Talk about exploration! This is fun!" Embern said.

"We must keep up with those cats. They took my fragment!" Flarenia growled.

The group went further and further down the cave. Going down more and more stairs, until finally...

Glameow and Skitty are sitting on the bottom floor at a patch of sand surrounded by water.

Skitty spoke, "Do you think those idiots are going after us?"

Glameow purred. "I don't think so. They probably got knocked out by the Pokemon that live here."

"H-hey!" Flarenia called.

The two cat pokemon spun around. "No way!"

Flarenia took a step forward. "Give me... Give me back my treasure! That item is very important to me!"

"Ahhh... so this item is that valuable to you? We thought about selling it. It could bring in lots of cash." Glameow said.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Flarenia yelled.

"You can't!" Embern barked.

Glameow gave out a mischievous smirk. "If you want you item back that badly..."

Skitty got into a crouch.

Glamoew let out her claws. "Come and get it then! Mewo hoew hoew!" She challenged.

Lilli ran for the Glameow, tackling it hard.

Embern opened his mouth. Little Embers shot from it, hitting Skitty. "Ember!" He yelled.

Flarenia did the same attack, knocking out the Skitty while Lilli and Darklo did a double tackle on Glameow, knocking her out.

The two cats soon woke up.

Glameow hissed. "I can't believe it! We got knocked out by some weaklings like them!"

Skitty growled. "Bah! Fine! Take your stupid item back!" The item landed on the sand in front of Flarenia.

"Oh yaaay!" The Vulpix cheered.

"Don't think you so awesome! Your victory was just a fluke!" Glameow hisses.

"Yeah! Just remember that!" Skitty yelled.

The cats fled.

"Oh! Thank you everyone!" Flarenia said.

Soon the teams returned to the beach.

"Seriously! Thank you!" Flarenia thanked again.

Lilli thought. (So this is what the Vulpix wanted huh? And I just happened to be be there. I guess that's okay! After all, this pokemon is grateful!)

Embern spoke. "Thanks to you, my friend here is happy again."

"I know that this is out of the blue, but will you please make an exploration team with me?" Flarenia asked.

(That was out of the blue! Well, I have no where else to go. So is joining these Pokemon a good idea?) Lilli thought. She than smiled. (I guess so!) She then spoke, "Alright, i'll join."

"Awesome! But I got a better idea! Let's make separate teams! That way, we'll see who can meet their goal first!" Embern said.

"Me and Flarenia will make one team, while you and Darklo form another." Lilli said.

"Agreed!" The group said.

This is when Team Dasher and Team Darkflre is created. The tale is just beginning. Will Lilli and Darklo solve there mystery of memory loss and transformation of a Pokemon? Find out on the next chapter of:
