Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Venturers of Beyond

CH: 7

“Shiro?” Glaceon said spotting the Eevee as he was heading back to his room to get some last minute rest. “What happened? You look like you got in a fight with a Magmar and barely escaped with your life?”

“Yeah something like that except this was Charizard’s doing. Apparently I stepped out of line.” Shiro said with a sigh.

“I heard she was upset for some reason but in a place like this everyone is too cautious to give away too many details.” Glaceon said leaning against Shiro to help him back to his Team Hall.

The coolness of Glaceon’s body seemed to sooth the pain a little but not completely but he pulled away from her when they made a turn down an unfamiliar hall. “Where are you taking me?”

“You’re completely useless in that condition and we only have a few hours before we head out. I’m taking you to my room so I can give you proper treatment.” She said gently nudging him on.

Shiro nodded to her and let her lead him on down the hall and past 4 doors then they turned down a second hall into a room with 17 doors in all.

“This place is like a mystery dungeon on its own” Shiro whispered to himself.

“You would be surprised how many times that’s said.” Glaceon said leading him through a door that was on the far side of the room. “Sit and I’ll make something to help you.”

<X><X><X><X>
Bran watched Shiro and Glaceon as they talked about something that he couldn’t hear properly from his distance but he figured it had something to do with Charmander because Shiro kept glancing over to him.

Bran looked around taking in the view. Swampy Forest was a very dark place with trees so close together that the branches were entangled and thick moss clung to the branches, swaying in the weak breeze that blew through the dungeon. The air was fogy but the thickness of it was very light and only came up a few inches off the ground unless it was disturbed. Glaceon had chosen 3 team leaders to pick team members that they were best suited to work with. Charmander picked his fire type team consisting of Charmander, Houndour, and Litleo. Hoothoot paired with Noibat because of their Arial Combat tactics work better without someone stuck on the ground.

Bran was stuck going with Aron and Joltik who use status effects combined with brute force. However they were trying to make clear that they wanted Bran gone.

“Ok is everyone ready?” Glaceon said walking over.

Shiro didn’t move from where he was but he locked eyes with bran and gave a confident nod as if saying ‘Don’t worry, you’re ready for this.’

“OK now this will be your final assessment. If you make it past this mission you are allowed to join or start your own team. If you fail then you will have to continue training until the next class when you will need to start over.”

“If you open your team bag you can see that I have put one mission inside. Read the mission so you understand it and then enter the dungeon. I want each team to enter one minute apart from each other.”

Bran read the mission…

Mission Description: Reach the end of the dungeon.
Client: Glaceon
Objective: Retrieve item from chest.
Place: Swampy Forest
Mission Rank: E
Reward: Graduation

“Ok so this is how we are going to do things Zorua.” Joltik said catching Bran’s attention. “You can come with us but you will not fight. Your job is to give us anything in the bag we ask for and if you do anything other than that we will do anything in our power to get you kicked out of the guild understand?”

Bran sighed and nodded.

“Good” Aron said as he turned to watch Charmander’s team running into the dungeon.

Joltik and Aron lead Bran in next. The first floor had mostly Poochyena and Aron took them on with by using harden until they were in attacking distance then Mud-slap and tackle.

Floor three was when the Skorupi were the most common opponent and Aron started using Metal claw and mud-slap while Joltik would use screech on them.

Bran just sat back and blended into the background with his illusion ability.

On floor five the Zubat started to assault the team but Joltik would catch them with Thunder Wave and Aron would finish them with tackle.

“I see the stares” Bran told them as Joltik paralyzed the last Zubat in the hall they left.

“Good” Aron said as he and Joltik joined him and they moved to the last floor together.

The three pokemon ran through the last room to the chest sitting in the middle of the floor and opened it to find a rolled up piece of paper. “Looks like we did it, we get to be our own team.” Aron said.

“We can start a real journey” Joltik said happily

Then leaves started flying out of the rotten forest towards Joltik and Aron but Bran intercepted the attack but he took a small amount of damage. “Who are you? Show yourself!”

“I didn’t expect you to get in my way Master Bran sir.” A Leafeon said as she joined them in the room.

“Y-you know my name?” Bran said narrowing his eyes.

“Of course, your mother sent me here to collect her lost son and you’re the only Zorua in
Charizard’s care.” She answered.

“Joltik, Aron I need you to go and tell Glaceon that there is trouble.” Bran said.

“We don’t need to do what you tell us.” Joltik said.

“JOLTIK!” Bran Yelled. “Those attacks were not to hurt you they would have killed you.”

“Y-you’re…”Aron started

Leafeon smiled

Aron forced Joltik to leave while Bran studied the Leafeon “I refuse to go with you without a fight”

“Yes after you made them leave like that I expected you to say that.” Leafeon said

“How do you expect to leave when there’s only 1 exit?” Bran asked

“Well I know that Glaceon will come with her little Eevee friend but I’m not worried about that.”

Bran narrowed his eyes “Why?”

Leafeon smiled “Because….”

<X><X><X><X>

Teams started to return from the dungeon starting with Charmander then Hoothoot found her way back. However Shiro felt his heart drop when he saw Joltik and Aron appear.

He blinked in confusion. “Where’s Zorua?”

“A Leafeon attacked us and Zorua made us leave.” Joltik said in an angry voice.

“She tried to kill you!” Aron argued.

“What? A Leafeon tried to kill you?” Glaceon said in a shocked voice.

Aron nodded.

“You two go back to the guild with the others. Glaceon and I are going to deal with this.” He turned to Glaceon and she agreed but Shiro thought something sparked in her eyes. “Let’s Go.” He said leading her into the dungeon.

*~*~*~*

Bran was lying on the ground barely conscious when Glaceon and Shiro arrived.

“Oh it’s about time you got here sis.” Leafeon said calmly placing a paw on Brans back. “He’s a lot stronger than I expected him to be.”

Shiro stepped away from Glaceon “What does she mean by sis?”

“Isn’t that obvious Shiro? She’s my sister and partner not that it means much to you now because you will be dead and we will take the young master with us.” Glaceon said before using quick attack.

Shiro dodged the attack barely and turned sinking his teeth into her shoulder and Leafeon smashed into him sending him across the floor. Then Leafeon used Magical Leaf Shiro countered it with Swift leaving him open to Glaceon’s Ice Shard.  Shiro staggered back and Glaceon ended the fight with Icy Wind.

Shiro collapsed and ice started to collect over him freezing him in an icy prison.

‘It’s cold, too cold. Does this mean I’m going to die this time? I’m going to die by being frozen solid and left for dead…” Shiro thought. As he looked through the ice watching the blurred shapes moving around.

A shadow appeared in the ice “I brought you to this world for a reason little kit. You have inherited a great ability from your father, one than makes you specially fit for the task you are to complete. Don’t you feel that ability calling you louder now than it has every time before?”

Shiro blinked “Who are you?” he asked but the shadow vanished. ‘A feeling calling to me?’ Shiro started to pay attention to what he felt. He was numb from the ice he had a little air left so his chest hurt and he felt a tingly feeling in his chest that was always there…’Maybe? No that can’t be it…’ he thought but focused on it more and he felt the tingling change it seemed to be like a box opening up, letting him look inside. He felt something warm and it felt good to be warm, it was like when Team Audacity used to stay with him and he would curl up by Leon to warm up.

<X><X><X><X>

Bran watched in horror as Shiro was encased in a thick layer of ice.

“Well that’s that. Didn’t I tell you Master Bran?” Leafeon laughed “He didn’t stand a chance against us. Not when he is an Eevee. The only thing that can save him is a firestone and those you won’t find here.”

“Now to take you home” Glaceon said walking over to him. “Your mother will be expecting you soon.”

“He’s not going with you.” Shiro’s voice said

“Impossible” Glaceon said turning around to face Shiro.

He was standing in the ice that was quickly melting away and then he changed. It was instant, one second he was an Eevee and the next he was a Flareon.

He didn’t waste any time, he cleared the distance between where he was and Glaceon in an instant. He bit down hard on her Shoulder with his flaming jaws and with a twist he tossed her to the side. In a second he used Fire Spin on Leafeon to keep her out of the way. With a quick attack he escaped Glaceon’s Ice Shard and hit Glaceon sending her rolling away then he hit her with an ember knocking her out.

He turned to Leafeon who was calling for her sister to get up. She cried out in pain from the Fire Spin and then again when Shiro used his Fire Fang to put her down. Shiro turned to Bran and walked over to his friend when Bran blacked out.

<X><X><X><X>

Shiro felt the heat fade away as he sat with Bran until Charizard arrived with her second in command Aggron who was Aron’s father he assumed.

Shiro explained the situation to them leaving out the evolution bit after he realized he was an Eevee again and they took Glaceon and Leafeon into custody. Then using their badges they all were transported to the guild. Bran was taken away for treatment while Shiro went to his team hall to experiment with his ability but he couldn’t seem to pull the energy he needed. “I’ll Figure this out, somehow.”
I'm happy to say I'm back on track again.

As nice as it would be I do not own pokemon. I did however create the characters and the written story below. Please ask for permission before using any characters in this story.

Thank you (^.=.^)
