This is my preferred reaction to getting transformed into a Pokémon. Inspired after what would happen if someone got turned into a Torchic.

Based loosely on the beginning of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time.

Hmm... I've decided that the main character is going to male. In case people haven't noticed most of my other stories have female leads.

It's in first person point of view.

I don't own anything.

Ugh...crap, where am I? I struggled to move but felt another wave of exhaustion wash over me. Shit, no good... I'm fading...

"Hello?"

I stirred feebly, five more minutes!

"Hey!"

I opened my eyes a bit; man this guy had some guts trying to wake me up this early in the morning.

"ARE YOU AWAKE!?"

I jumped to my feet, "I AM NOW WITH ALL YOUR DAMN YELLING!" WHO DID THIS GUY THINK HE IS!? All I want to do is catch a few Z's and—

Wait... It's all coming back...I had collapsed somehow... and—

HOLY GIRATINA IT'S A TALKING RIOLU!

"YOU CAN TALK!" I can't believe it! It's a talking Pokémon!

"Yea... And your point is?"

"POKEMON CAN'T TALK TO HUMANS!" I shouted.

"Dude, I don't know where you've been, but you look like a Torchic to me,"

I froze and walked to the water. (Wow, I'm on a beach? How did that happen?)

HOLY—

I'm not even going to finish that because there's no way they'd let anyone read it let alone print it on paper.

I LOOK LIKE A GIRL! I was a Torchic...

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT GAURDIAN IS GOING ON HERE!?" I exclaimed. I then looked to my sides, "AND I HAVE NO ARMS!?"

"Umm... Okay then..." the Riolu replied. "My name's Spike, what's yours?"

I thought about it for second and then realized; double crap, did I contract amnesia? After quite a bit of thinking I replied, "Name's Ryan,"

"Okay..." Spike said. "Hey you want to form an Exploration Team at Wigglytuff's Guild?"

"A what-now at where?" I replied, confused.

"A team that explores Mystery Dungeons and helps other Pokémon while training. And the guild is a wonderful organization where you can train to become stronger and meet new friends!" he answered cheerfully.

Please kill me.

But I have nothing better to do than sit on a beach wondering how I got there.

Might as well...

But I gotta know something first.

"Okay, but only if you answer a question,"

"What is it?"

I steeled myself for his reaction, "Are you gay?"

Next thing you know I got a mouth full of sand and Spike is holding a boulder over his head.

"WHAT THE HELL MAN!? DO I LOOK GAY TO YOU!?" he shrieked.

"The way you described the Mystery Guild thing," I explained while spitting out sand, "It sounded really fruity,"

That earned me another whack on the head from Mr. Boulder.

"I AM NOT FRUITY!"

"Okay..." I replied disbelievingly. Spike raised the boulder threateningly, "OKAY I GET IT! You're not gay! Happy!? Don't hit me!"

"So you want to form a team or not?" he demanded.

"Yea sure, lead the way," I replied. "Just remember, if you flirt with me EVER, you're dead,"

"Say anything else about me being gay and you'll go for another round with Mr. Boulder," He held it in his had and then I realized it was a rock.

A kinda big rock.

With some kind of design on it.

"What are all those squiggles on it for?" I asked while taking a step back. Now I have fear of Spike, rocks and getting hit. Thank you Spike; thank you for traumatizing me.

"Actually this is my most prized possession—"

"And you hit me with it!?" I interrupted.

"Either that or one of the bigger, pointier rocks," Spike responded. "ANYWAY, I've always wanted to find out what in means and hey, it's and Exploration Team I'm bound to find something about it!"

"Okay then let's go," I started to walk to the cave next to us.

"Uh... Ryan?"

"Yea?" I was still walking to the cave.

"The guild's this way," Spike started walking in the opposite direction.

Wow... I'm an idiot. "Yeah... I so knew that!"

"Admit it; you'd be lost without me!"

"I would not! Okay maybe I would, but it's not my fault I have no previous memory of who I am other than my name!"

"REALLY!?" Why didn't you tell me that in the first place?"

"You didn't ask!"

And thus starts an epic adventure of which the boundaries of time and darkness are crossed with Spike and Ryan screwing everything up countless times along the way.

Behold! The end of chapter one.

That was actually fun to write! It's up to you guys if I should continue or not, okay?

I've taking a liking to Ryan, you may see him somewhere else!

(TFK)

Oh and feel free to suggest a better title.
