POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON MEME

[11121_assumption]

 

GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS LOSERS. IT'S TIME TO BE TURNED INTO POKEMON!

If you're unfamiliar with the series, the basic jest is this: humans are turned into Pokemon, form groups with other Pokemon to become dungeon explorers and rescuers. In this meme, you can just have them be in VR, with their Pokemon teams as groupies/flackies/whatever! Few guidelines;

1) You can be any pokemon that isn't legendary, including evolved forms, but consider how you're getting around. I mean don't let me stop you from being a Magikarp but, have immense fun with being a Magikarp...
2) The usual rules apply, don't powerplay, discuss fights etc. etc.
3) Enjoy yourselves!

Prompt Ideas

• Awakening. You've just awoken to find yourself as a Pokemon! How are those wings working out for ya? Or the lack of arms? Are you comfortable with your new psychic abilities or do you even know how to discharge all that electricity you have? 
• Battle. Everyone knows that Pokemon get into fights. Can you use your new skills to defend yourself or are you going to need a helping hand? Or are you the one looking for a fight, to grow stronger?
• Shelter. Once you've gotten outside your house, you might suddenly remember that you don't have your housekeys. Or thumbs to use those housekeys. Looks like you might be sleeping outside for a while, so find yourself a nest and get comfy. If you're with a friend, maybe you could work together. Or you might need to drive off someone eyeing up that nice little cave you were using yourself.
• Adventure! Maybe you want to find the cause, maybe you just want to live the experience. Either way, grab the poor fool friend closest to you and set off into the world of Pokemon!

Diana has no idea how small Pokemon stand to walk anywhere. Seriously, it seems to take forever. Luckily, she's found a way around this problem.

A fluffy Cinccino sits atop her noble steed; a very smug looking Luxray, as they trot down the path.

She'd really love to know how the hell this even happened, but in the meantime she's has a job to do.

She looks over her shoulder (after batting a tassel of fur out of the way) to see her group of Pokemon following her. A Murkrow accompanies her in riding the electric feline, preening himself as he sits upon the cat's hindquarters. Sass the Salazzle is delicately holding a large egg in her mouth, steam coiling around it as she's watched by a worried looking Alolan Vulpix. The white fox's ears droop and she's nuzzled by a larger red fox.

"Don't worry, Emma. The kit will be okay." He says to her.

It's still weird to perfectly understand what the heck her team are saying. But she's already had a little freak out about this whole situation, and they need to find somewhere to set up shop. Since she had no idea how to get back into Rocket HQ as a fluffy chinchilla.

Diana taps the top of the Luxray's head. "Quicker, Caine."

Hey gurl

[11121_assumption]

As they entered a wooded area, a voice would be heard from above.

"Ah, Strut. What brings you to this place?" Darkness the Honchkrow sat above them, extending a greeting to his fellow crow. He turned sharp eyes over the party. "I am surprised. No children, but your teammates? And without your trainer? Why, I thought you said she allowed her hounds to roam as they will, not yourself and other members of her team."

Hai boi

[keep_surviving]

Caine bristles but Strut ignores him, hopping onto the cat's head to fan out his wings to bow respectfully.

"Darkness, a pleasure. Has this dumbass bumbled into your territory? I apologize."

Diana is looking at the birds in bafflement at their manner of speaking. Especailly Strut's. It was all over the place.

"I would not be caught dead hanging out with this idiot by choice." He pecked at Caine's snout, who'd had enough and snapped at him.

Strut flaps to land beside Diana, who he begans preening. "My trainer is here! She has become one of us!"

Diana pushes Strut's beak away. "Hey, Darkness. You sound different."

[11121_assumption]

Darkness laughed richly when Strut pecked Caine. All Luxrays needed a good peck or five.

"Do not fret, Strut. You, at the very least, are always welcome where I roost." Upon hearing that the little Cinccino was indeed Diana, he considered her anew with bright interest. "Truly? Ha! So it is wide-spread...what a curious day this has become!" He gave a short, croaking laugh.

Thankfully he spotted her other Pokemon and noticeably the egg. He fluttered to a closer branch, leaning down to address Diana on a more equal level. "My trainer has also taken a new form. It is...suiting of him, even if it has made Reed insufferable. I imagine he would not object much to your presence at our nest, especially with the egg you carry." He might be the Big Boss, the Head Honcho...but he is also a family man. "So long as there's no....hostility. Shall I take you there?" Yes, he's eyeing Caine. No fighting when their trainers are essentially fledglings, thank you cat.

[deceptivelycute]

As it happened, she wasn't the only pokemon on their way to Rocket HQ and this one was also riding a pokemon.

Casually laying on the back of an Absol in a fedora, a Purrloin waved idly at the pile of fur and adorableness riding on the back of a familiar and grumpy Luxray.

"Hey there good lookin' Going my way?"

[keep_surviving]

Caine rolls his eyes and snorts. "Great. This chick."

Diana, meanwhile, twitches her ears (which is a weird sensation) and smiles at the dark feline. "Ji? That you?"

[deceptivelycute]

"Got it in one!"

Showing off her agility she sprang from her laying down position to land on her hind legs still balanced on Noir's back while he loped along.

"I recognized Caine and figured...well if this happened to me what are the odds that ball of fluff is Di? And here we are. Not the weirdest day we've had but I think it's in the top ten at least?"

"The whole worlds getting weirder and weirder. All we can do is lie to ourselves that we're the sane ones when it's obvious the crazies are the only ones comfortable around here anymore." Noir added unhelpfully in an attempt to sound cool and stoic. Jinx rolled her eyes aggressively.

"I almost wish I still couldn't understand his words."

Walter Sullivan | Decidueye

[11121_assumption]

[ Awakening/Training ]
Well. This was certainly different from going from 'semi-possessed, harassed human' to 'fully possessed, demonic angelic ghost'. And given how different a human is to a bird...he was having a bit of trouble.

Walter the Decidueye was carefully practicing his walk, spreading his wings and trying with a few hops to fly. The ghostly powers within him were...manageable. He was familiar with that power, even if it had never truly been his. And having owned Reed, he was aware of how a Decidueye was meant to use it's body parts as both bow and arrows.

Thankfully, his Pokemon were there to teach him. So if you go down to the woods, you'll find a flock of Murkrow and a Honchkrow trying to teach a Decidueye how to fly, with another Decidueye helping him learn archery. An alolan Marowak is watching the whole thing, wagging his tail. Walter didn't need help with the ghost aspect of his abilities, so Assumption was just happy to be able to talk with him, without the language barrier between them.

Jinx the Purrloin

[deceptivelycute]

[Awakening]

All things considered, there are worse pokemon Jinx could have turned into.

One of whom is currently hugging her adoringly. Faux the Jynx is so thrilled that her trainer can finally understand her that she won't shut up about it and it's getting on Jinx's last nerve.

"So I sayz to Milkshake I sayz, "wouldn't it be great if Jinxy could really understand us? She's such a smart gal, a talented trainer she iz! But she just doesn't seem to understand sometimes that all I'm tryin' ta do is help! And now you can and it's amazin! Give Mama a kiss you adorable little dark type you!"

"AHHH! Alright that's enough! Noir get me out of this!"

Unfortunately for Jinx, her ever loyal but somewhat clumsy starter pokemon Noir the Absol was keeping a respective distance from the large blond pokemon.

"Sorry boss but...you are an adorable dark type now." He muttered blushing and looking away letting his fedora tilt over his eyes. "A dame like you should never have gotten mixed up with the likes of me. I'm bad news from the morning paper to the last web article on your social media feed."

Jinx groaned and planted her foot firmly on Faux's lips pushing off them and popping free of her grip to flop to the ground in an ungraceful heap earning the crowing laughter of Hex, who had been with her as long as Noir.

"At this rate we'll be the ones training you! HA!" She crowed, ever her own biggest fan. Jinx grumbled and wobbled to her hind legs dusting herself off.

"I'm still in charge here and we need to sort this out. Come on and make yourselves useful. Faux grab my backpack, Hex you're our mouthpiece if we have to talk to any humans."

"It's about time you recognized i'm the brains of this operation." She preened smugly.

Jinx chose to ignore this and clambered ontop of Noir which made his face even redder.

"Noir get your head out of whatever stupid fantasy you're in and get moving."

And so the quartet as well as Jinx's unreleased pokemon set out to find some trouble.

YOU WALKED INTO THE GHOST MAFIA

[11121_assumption]

As Jinx ventured into an alley, she might come across one that seems...darker than the others. Clearly, something was happening as several Pokemon gathered.

The various ghosts; an alolan Marowak, a Decidueye, a Banette, a Mimikyu and a Phantump were gathering around another Decidueye, this one slightly taller, with an odd, blue tint to his brown feathers.

"Now you get to see this part of Goldenrod! Because it's locked up, humans can't normally go in here." The Marowak was happily explaining, holding the strange Decidueye's wing as they walked along. But they paused, noticing Jinx's party. The Banette floated up to them, giggling. "Well, hello. Where are you all going?"

Life imitates a game of chess, Jinx is clearly a pawn.

[deceptivelycute]

Well...this was decidedly creepy.

Jinx purred her tail lashing back and forth as Noir glowered trying to look tough. Faux didn't seem particularly bothered by the ominous group while Hex's eyes smiled wickedly. She recognized this group even if the others didn't right away. Unlike most of Jinx's pokemon, Hex was a professional.

"Off to find some fun." Jinx cooed reaching out a paw curiously to bat at the Banette's zipper. While most of her team was pink normal types or things she thought were cute, she was a proud card carrying member of the gothic culture fangirls club so ghost types were right in her wheelhouse.

"Looks like we found a party." She added glancing around at the others.

[11121_assumption]

The Banette rocked back, giggling. "Fun huh? We were just off to show our lovely trainer some fun." The stitched up Doll floated over to the strange Decidueye, who hadn't batted an eye at this new group. He looked over them sharply, hands drawn together - it gave the impression of a cloak completely covering him, hiding the soft white down of his body. His gaze settled on Jinx. She seemed to be in charge, or at least was doing the talking right now.

The Mimikyu waved eagerly and piped up. "He's a spooky ghost now! But he was always spooky. Now he's one of us, just as he always was."

[dreamsofahero]

Amongst all the other pokémon wandering about, you might spot an absol. An absol with unusually long, fine, almost silvery-hued fur. (And who may or may not at times have a Mime Jr. riding on his back...) And which, despite having only recently woken up to find himself turned into a pokémon, still retains a certain confident, almost regal bearing to him.

Even if his long fur really does almost make him look like a girl.

"... I don't suppose anyone has any idea what's going on yet?"

Too bad he's just as clueless as to what happened as everyone else.

-----

A bit later, once he's more used to his new body, you might catch a glimpse of that same absol doing some friendly sparring with some of the other pokémon he knows.

At least, it's probably friendly. Mostly.

... Well, actually, Sion might be the type who's prone to taking things a little too far out of a dislike of losing. Hopefully whoever he's up against can handle it?

[keep_surviving]

Diana's new ears twitch at the voice.

A fluffy Cinccino makes her way over to Sion, a Luxray stood protectively over her.

"Sion?" The adorable ball of fluff looks up at him curiously, head titled.

[dreamsofahero]

"That's right."

He tilts his head slightly, trying to place her voice.

"... Diana, isn't it?"

[keep_surviving]

The tips of her ears wiggle happily at being recognized, but that's out of her control.

So she just nods. "Yeah." She smirks. "No hands?"

[tearsofademon]

The good news is, you know that there's a Mime Jr. on your back.

You might not, however, be so pleased to know that said Mime Jr. just snored a little bit.

Your big fluffy ruff is comfortable okay. .-.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, that will get Sion to stop in his tracks and try to turn his head so he can see said Mime Jr.

".... Ryner."

[tearsofademon]

"Nnnn."

His response is to curl up further into your mane. Because of course it is.

Is he conscious and doing this to be a pill? Is he asleep and curling up toward the warmth and fluff? Is it some combination of the two? Who can even say...

Gaige the Rotom

[ghosttypeinthemachine]

Maybe your lights are flickering, maybe your pokegear has started flying around the room, or maybe your TV is suddenly showing a big ORANGE face.

"HELLOOOOOO there!"

But some bit of tech in your life has suddenly been possessed by the pokeworlds newest Rotom, Gaige the Mechromancer.

Sorry not sorry.

"Oooo this feels so weird! AND AWESOME! Let's see what kind of attacks I can do in THIS thing!"

Don't look now but based on what she's inside she's going to be spewing out elemental abuse at you!

Heather Mason | WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY??!

[foxpox]

1: AWAKENING

<sub>[Ahhhhh, camping! A trainer's greatest love, next to their Pokemon.]

[Hey look, is that Heather's tent? Of course it is.]

[So she's probably inside it, right?]

[THINK AGAIN.]

[There's no human in the tent! You've been bamboozled!]

[But wait... there is a very fluffy yellow-and-red... orb, for lack of a better word, curled up on the sleeping bag.]

[Maybe it's one of her Pokemon, but...]

[It does seem to be wearing her vest. :T WELLP.]

[WHO WANTS TO WAKE HER UP AND BREAK THE NEWS]</sub>


2. SHELTER

"Welcome, everyone! Would you like to try samples of today's specials? Let me-- oh, sorry sweetie, all Pokemon must be accompanied by a human! Come back with your trainer, okay?"

<sub>[And the door to Sawsbucks is very pointedly closed right in the little Braixen's face. Which then smushes against the glass forlornly, spotted cheek-fluff squishing outwards.]

[To humans like the barista who just shoo'd her right out of the building, she only seems to be letting out a foxish whine, but Pokemon will hear her wail very clearly:]</sub>

PLEASE I just want a fucking latte!!

_[;-;]

[11121_assumption]

Walter still hadn't figured out how to fly, but he was able to hide in shadows very well. He had been lurking in the mouth of an alleyway watching people pass with his Banette, Doll, hanging on his shoulder like a Chesire cat. Upon seeing a Braxien try to enter Sawsbucks, he had thought it curious. Upon hearing her voice, he realised the truth.

He stepped forward awkwardly. Birds are not made to walk on land and Walter was making careful, deliberate steps as he had come to understand his new legs. "Heather." He spoke to her as he drew close to her, Doll giggling at his side.

[foxpox]

Her ears snap to Walter before her face does. When she does turn her head, it's only partially-- she is apparently trying to become one with the glass, so the way she looks at him while half her face is smashed against the window is particularly piteous-looking.

Is that-- of course that's Walter.

Of course he'd be a scary ghost owl.

"... Walter, I'm gonna tell it to you straight. If I don't get caffeine, there is no way I'm going to make it through a conversation with you."

Help her get a latte. :(

[glunkus]

What, they won't let you inside at all?

[There's a thump as a somewhat larger, lankier Pokemon plops down right beside her, forearms on his 'knees'.]

...what if we smashed their windows?

[He may or may not be serious, or it might just be a very Envy offer of sympathy.]

[foxpox]

_{[With Envy? It could be EITHER. So she shoots it down just in case.]}

And get the Jennies after us? No way. I have NO desire to see what the inside of a Pokeball looks like.

_{[She does, however, give him the saddest, most piteous look her fluffy little face can produce. She is still pressed against the glass.]}
