Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Chaotic × Together (Chapter 4)

"The only reason we weren't completely wiped out," Vizil added, "was because he knows Rollout." He tilted his head towards his Donphan companion.

"Yeah…" Ketch concurred regretfully, "It's the only Rock-type move any of us know. It worked, obviously, knocked quite a few featherbrains out, but it still took a couple of hits to take each one down, and at the end of the day I'm only one 'mon."

While the trio continued to eat their curry, Anrey glanced off to the side for a moment. There was a thoughtful look in his eye. After only a few moments, he turned back towards Ketch and asked, "Do you know Defense Curl?"

"Hm?" Ketch replied, and then swallowed his bite before saying, "Me? Uh…Yeah, I guess I do. I hardly use it, though. I prefer offense to defense."

"Why not use it here, then? Against the Flying-types."

Ketch, as well as his teammates, gave Anrey an odd look. "How's that gonna help us defeat them?"

Anrey gave them an odd look right back. "Don't…you know that using Defense Curl before Rollout makes it stronger?"

The Eevee was met with three blank stares. "…It does?" Ketch eventually muttered.

She was in the process of making her morning tea. While she waited for it to steep, she glanced over at the couch. Anrey must have been exhausted from sleepless nights on the hospital beds, because he had slept through the night even though he had only planned to take a short nap.

There was a little rush of excitement when she thought about what she was doing. Vylet had been raised to help those in need, but she had never helped anybody out to this extent before. She knew this was something she could look back on years later and be proud of.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Chaotic × Together (Chapter 2)

Revealed behind the curtain was a familiar little Eevee resting under the covers in the simple bed. He had some bandages wrapped around his limbs, and a large one around the top of his head, but otherwise looked no worse for wear. He had been staring off at nothing with a somewhat unfocused look in his eyes, but his ears perked up once the curtain was parted and he lazily rolled his head so that he was looking at his two visitors.

He blinked a few times, and then a smile graced his muzzle. "Heeeeey, there you are," he said in a weary tone.

Vylet smiled as well and approached the side of the bed. "Hello again," she greeted him, "How are you feeling?" "Pretty dizzy…" he commented.

Marz, however, started to laugh. "What are ya, an idiot?" he bellowed, "Pay attention, rocks-fer-brains! Here, lemme spell it out for ya. That's a Sneasel, you're a Rock-Type, and though I loathe the name, I'm a Fairy-Type. We both got the advantage! She's toast!"

For a moment, Vylet just stared at the two, processing what they had just said in disbelief. She then relaxed herself somewhat, rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Morons…" she mumbled under her breath, as suddenly all of the tension she had felt about this upcoming fight vanished completely.

Marz grinned menacingly and took a step towards her. "Last chance, Sneasel. Run away or get flattened."

Vylet just stood up straight and crossed her arms. "Go ahead," she said, "Try me."

The Thunder Clan (BONUS Chapter 14.5)

Surprise, everyone! In rereading this story recently, I felt that the pacing of events from chapter to chapter didn't feel quite right around this spot. I felt that an extra chapter would help things flow more smoothly, and I had a few extra ideas for world building I had come up with in the meantime as well. So, enjoy this extra chapter!

For legacy readers: Please keep any spoilers from future chapters out of the comments for this one.

For new readers: Though this is labelled as "14.5", it's not half a chapter. It's a full-length chapter, I just didn't feel like renumbering all the others.

"What are you doing?!" Sparks demanded.

Terry and Kona both walked into view, both wearing similar expressions, and the Dewott spoke up. "Please stop before you hurt yourself…"

Sparks could feel his eye twitch slightly. He stared at the trio in disbelief for a second and then opened his mouth and exploded. "Ziggy's in there!!"

All three Pokémon winced, like his words had struck them, and then they adopted sorrowful frowns. "He..." Kona spoke, "He's not going to have-"

"We have to help him! We have to get to him!!" Sparks shouted, "We have to get him out!!" "Raz!" Rico shouted to interrupt him, and then spoke in an eerily calm voice, "Raz…I'm sorry, but…there's no way." Sparks felt his heart seize up, but Rico just continued. "There's no way he's down there. He's…" Rico paused as his lip trembled just a little. "He's gone…"

I'd love to post some links here, but Tumblr changed their editor AND IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL... So go check the previous posts for some links to previous chapters and from there you should be able to find the finale.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: True Colours (Chapter 46)

"Please!" Ziggy insisted as a few tears were flung from his eyes, "I just want to save my best friend! Tell me what I need to do!"

"I-I don't know," Kona admitted, "None of us can figure out what to do. Yang and his team have been trying repeatedly to break the shield but it's really strong."

Ziggy clenched his paws in frustration, fought off the urge to scream, and growled in irritation as a few more tears streaked down his cheeks. "Sparks…"

The Inteleon in question took a few cautious steps towards the portal and then leaned in, as if he were looking through a small window. He smiled at whatever he could see. "Beautiful as always…" he said, "I can hardly believe that we will be there within minutes assuming everything goes accordingly." He then pressed a key on the keyboard, there was another snap, and the portal dissipated.

"The mad 'mon's really gonna do it…" Terry mumbled.

Ziggy frowned. "I got all the way down here…nobody saw me…" he muttered softly, "and then it happened right at the end, right as I was about to get out, right as I saw…" There was pause when the memory hit him, causing him to look up and gaze at the far side of the room. "…When I saw the Nihilego."

Everyone else turned and looked as well. Just as it had been before, the Nihilego was resting  in its glass enclosure, floating lazily and in full display. Ziggy couldn't help but shiver again upon seeing it.

"You were right…" Sparks commented, "You were definitely right. I'm looking right at it and it's still hard to believe. The Nihilego is just…right there."

Rico growled quietly. "That thing nearly ruined my life…"

Ziggy then glanced up at the building beside him. On the other side of this thick, concrete wall was the laboratory run by that Inteleon. This was where he needed to get into. This was where the 'food' was that he had to sneak in and get, just like old times. There were no windows, which Ziggy had expected from the side facing the alley, but there were also no doors. His gut did a flip before he calmed himself. He had expected to use a side- or back door, but that wasn't his only option.

After a moment's observation, he turned back to Terry. "Air duct."

Terry glanced up, located the spot Ziggy had noticed, and his eyes shot open wide. "You sure?" Terry whispered once he brought his gaze back down.

Ziggy nodded. "Done it plenty of times."

"STOP!"

Everyone flinched, ears all splaying against skulls, as the loud shout resounded through the room. Slowly, meekly, everyone turned to look at the very incensed Pokémon who had spoken.

"You are all getting way ahead of yourselves!" Carmen barked, "I must have missed the point when I gave authorization for such a brazen plan to even go forward. Breaking and entering is one thing, and now you want to add forgery to the list of crimes?"

"…Hey…Sparks?" Ziggy spoke up hesitatingly.

The Raichu in question turned to look at him. "Hm?"

Ziggy was still looking upwards, but was twiddling his paws. "I…I think…"

After a moment of silence, Sparks gently encouraged him. "You think what?"

Ziggy gulped, looked down at his paws for a moment, and then turned and looked back at Sparks. There was a mix of resolve and hesitation in his expression. "I…think I'm ready to go to the island…"

"To the island…?" Sparks repeated, "You mean to Dewdrop Island?"

The Buizel nodded.

"You're ready…to see your parents?"

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: True Colours (Chapter 39)

That's when Ziggy noticed something in the distance. Something caught his eye that stood out against the field of white clouds. It seemed indistinct at first, but in mere seconds it coalesced into something much more recognizable. Dark, thick, hazy clouds that seemed to be coming from somewhere on the other side of the town. In no time at all, the clouds grew thicker, darker, and much more plentiful.

Not clouds. Smoke.

Something was on fire.

In the distance, Ziggy heard a shriek. Someone could faintly be heard calling for help. A chill ran up Ziggy's spine as he realized there was trouble. Something very bad was happening. An instant later, the half-filled water bottle clattered to the ground, forgotten, as Ziggy dashed away down the streets.

Soon after, Carmen burst back into the room looking much more energized than before. "Ziggy! Listen up! I've got a job that's perfect for you."

"I think of all the time we could've had together…How different my life might have been…"

A quiet moment passed, with the only sounds being Ziggy sniffling occasionally. "Well…" Sparks said, "At least you don't have to feel lonely."

Ziggy looked up at him with a frown, but eventually a little sad smile tugged at his lips. "Y-yeah… If I didn't have you guys with me, I…don't think I could've handled everything…"
