Mystery Dungeon Story 2 part 3

Chapter 3 - Jealous Revalations

"Here's my house you two, don't get too comfortable though, this is only temporary and if my brother and his team comes here pretend you don't exist for my sake. Got that?" Rebe pulled back a curtain revealing a room, it looked dusty, a small window shed a dim light in the center, in the room was two beds which looked to have been unused for quite a while. "This is the guest room, you will stay here for the time being. Though you will have to provide food for yourselves, I'm almost at my breaking point." Rebe slowly walked out of the room out of sight.

"So Mesprit…? Would you believe me if I told you I was human?" Bella was wondering she made a mistake by answering this question. What if she sounded like a lunatic or think she was having an identity crisis.

"It would make sense, I mean you have emotions locked up which you can't explain. Just like the other few humans I was able to interact with throughout the ages."

"Wait there are other humans in this world! where are they? I need to meet them and then we can both get help."

"Well most of them go back to their own world after they complete what they were sent here to do. there has only been one exception to this rule so far. Actually, first do you know that Rebe has a brother?"

"No, he never really seemed to have any intentions of telling us anything."

"He often likes to keep his emotions hidden most of what is shown is a facade, well back to the main point, Rebe's brother has a friend named Whisper, Whispers father was the most recent human in this world, though he did get sent back like all the previous heroes once he saved the world, after half a year he found a way to come back."

"So what you are saying is that I have to find a way to save the world, that shouldn't be that hard of a task."

"Its not as easy as that sadly, You know how you woke up in that grotto? Well all humans that become pokemon wake up there, a place that exist in all alternate universes, the one constant between worlds that exist, those that used to exist, and those that yet to exist. In that grotto the human turned pokemon is found by a pokemon native to that world, they are sent on a mission to defend against something that could end in the collapse of their reality."

"So who's my partner since I found both you and Rebe and not the other way around."

"That would be Rebe, you realize that in the dungeon we found Rebe in a weakened state. That was not by accident, his emotions showed that he tried to ditch us there and we wouldn't have a chance to encounter him again. You will have to convince him to work with with us or our world might do something that forces him to join us."

"How far is the world willing to take to get him to join us."

"Well Bella, in the distant future about half a millennia from now, another hero will be called to this world. Their partner will not get it easy, first they see their whole town get eradicated while falling from a high place, then later when they form a team they see both of their team members fall to the same fate. That's what Uxie told me at least."

"So what happens if we fail to stop this threat?"

"Well this world is erased becomes a mystery dungeon with the memories of Rebe fueling it. Also at this point you need to call me by my real name. Mesa."

"So Mesa how do we save the world?"

"By making you and Rebe my bodyguards."

"Bodyguards!? HUH!?"

"Well I am a legendary and this goo can consume us, Uxie also told me to be 10 minutes late for a meeting which I usually don't do, Uxie wanted me to guide you guys so you guys have to be my bodyguards."

"I think that I might want to end the conversation now… no offense."

"Your not doing that good of a job hiding you awkwardness. Though I'll respect your request."

…

"Mom I have guest that need to stay in the guest room tonight they are already there just so you know." Rebe was exhausted, he grabbed his cup of pinap juice and started to drink it.

"About that Rebe, … your brother and his partner have to stay here tonight, I'll prepare some snacks to send your friends off on their way." The Serperior slither toward a basket filled with apples, and used her vine to grab some, "Do they like apple pie?"

"They are not my friends, they are only guest. I promised them a place to stay for a while until they are able to go off on their own." Rebe realized the precarious situation he was in. He should always expect this to happen, the world always creates a way to make his life as miserable as possible.

"WELL… If they are not your friends then I see no reason for me to have them here at all. Son I'll go tell them both to leave RIGHT NOW. After this prepare for a long talk about trusting strangers. " The Serperior started to slither toward the guest room her once kind sweet face now filled with rage. With her vines she pulled back the curtain, her expression changed from one of rage to one of shock. "Son…? Why is Mesprit here? This can't be possible. I don't understand."

"Mom this isn't that strange legendaries visit the town from time to time, and your golden child…" Rebe then got interrupted by his mother.

"Don't call your brother that." His mother remarked.

"Well Razor has encountered a few legendaries on his journeys whats so special about Mesprit?"

"Well the lake trio was said to have disappeared a month ago, rescue teams have been searching the lakes where all 3 usually preside and keep finding no traces of any of them being there. Uxie's lake was the worst of the three, things scattered everywhere like someone ransacked the place. There were no signs of Uxie being able to escape. If that is really Mesprit we may just have to tell your brother th…"

"We're back from another rescue mission… your going to want to hear what we found, it has to do with the missing legendaries." A brilliant blue Snivy exclaimed while walking in with a grey and blue hisuian Zorua into the house. "We'll be setting out tomorrow to go investigate our suspicions, we think we may be on to something. So mom do you have the guest room ready, we'll need some good rest before departing."

"Razor, your brother has brought over guest that relates to a more important matter at hand."

"Mom what could be more important than what we're solving, this is a world catastrophic event!"

The Hisuian Zorua began to speak up "Razor is right, I fear that whoever Rebe brought with him must go. You know what I'll do you guys a favor and tell them myself." The Hisuian Zorua pulled back the curtain to the room, gasping "Razor… you should take a look at this."

Razor sprinted to the door. "Whisper is that a shiny Popplio? Rebe I never took you as the charasmatic type. Also why is Mesprit whom was thought to have gone missing doing in our house. Doesn't matter right now, so does this mean we are going fancy to dinner somewhere?" Razor starts to wink at Rebe.

Rebe face became flustered. "WE ARE NOT DATING, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEM UNTIL A FEW HOURS AGO."

Razor gave a shrug, "Well since Mesprit's here, me and Whisper can ask a few questions to confirm a few suspicions we've been having." Razor walked toward Mesprit his vines grabbing a piece of paper and a pen. "So your Mesprit, the being of emotion thought to have disappeared a while ago. So if I may ask, What ever happened to Uxie and Azelf, why are you a powerful legendary, injured."

"To answer the first question they got consumed by this black goo, I was being chased for 3 days with no rest which weakened me quite a bit."

"So how did my brother find you? Why did he take you back, that really seems like something he would never do in a millennia."

"He didn't actually find me, I was actually found by Bella the shiny Popplio over there. She went out to get help and literally dragged your brother into this. He said he would let us have a place to say but I saw that his emotion shows he was being insincere."

"Let me guess he told you the only way to the town was through a mystery dungeon, then tried to lose you in that same mystery dungeon."

"Well that was correct… how were you able to find that out… no it can't be… how did you follow me?."

"Oh sorry if I made you think I was the thing that took your siblings. It's just that Rebe is very predictable he would never willing bring a shiny into the house. It stems from a strong dislike of me, I wish my brother knew that I do love him and want the best for him. I fear that jealousy may consume him, and makes him do something he regrets, though he will be to stubborn to acknowledge it digging himself in a deeper hole of trouble." Razor sighed "Thank you for this info, I'll be sure to tell Whisper immediately." Razor walked out the door.

…

"Whisper I'm afraid your intuition turned out to be true. I really was hoping this never had to do with that unsettling dungeon below the Abandoned Garden your parents talked about when telling stories about their adventure to you. We can't procrastinate this any longer, we need to say are goodbye's and start are expedition there tomorrow."

"Razor are you 100% sure we had a trail leading toward the Aurora Mountain mystery dungeon, if we get more info on Kyurem's disappearance, maybe just maybe it will point in a different direction."

"I know it won't, we have gotten confirmation from one of the supposed missing legendaries, it is our responsibility as a expedition team to protect others from dangerous threats. Whisper the longer we let this thing roam, the more risk it causes to the people around us. So let's get a good nights rest for tomorrow, got it Whisper?"

"Razor you need to understand we may not return from this, are family's will be worried. If this threat had the ability to take out 1 world how would 2 explorers face it. Razor it's fine if we lose our reputation since we backed out of an impossible task. If it really is a world ending event their will be a human turned pokemon that will be there to stop it. It's not our responsibility."

"I know, though Whisper your kind of being blind right now, the endgame for us is really soon, we will have to act as sacrifices for the greater cause, the cause which is to save this very world we live in. Our part was never to be the hero's but to give the motivation for the heroes so they have a cause to go forward."

"Razor stop trying to sound like a martyr. How do you know that this scenario needs a human. What proof do you have a human is summon, and even if one did get summoned why do we have to risk our lives for them. I understand why you want to be a grandeur hero, though what you are suggesting is insane. Plus motivation for the heroes, we don't even know the heroes."

"Whisper, we do though. Remember those eyes that shiny popplio had, it has the same glow that I have only seen in your dad. Your dad was human before if I am recollecting my facts correctly."

"Yes, you are."

"If my hypothesis is correct, that means that the shiny Popplio used to be a human, and my brother is the partner."

"You can't be serious Rebe would never willingly go on an adventure, why would he of all pokemon be picked to be a pokemon that is supposed to be talked about in legends."

"I know my brother pretends to be tough and distant on the outside, though I know deep down he cares if we were to disappear he would actually start to worry. Knowing my brother that will be the only way to convince him to start a expedition team. It's time to get some rest it will be a long day tomorrow."

…

Razor opened the door, "Hey Rebe, just wanted to say goodbye before we set off."

"Good."

"Rebe, I may not return from this expedition, me and Whisper are heading toward something extremely dangerous, this may be the last goodbye in a long while."

"Even Better."

"Rebe, this is important show a bit more respect."

"Like everything you do is important, you are viewed as heroes while I am always viewed as zero, I have been in your shadow for the longest time and I am a grass type not a dark type Razor I am not supposed to be in the shadows of something yet I am. I'm sick of it. So if you disappear other pokemon can appreciate my talents instead of comparing me to you. Pokemon will not say that my whittling is a useless skill anymore comparing it to your deeds and just like my whittling I will shape my life to how I like it. And how I like it is without you. So go away to your stupid dungeon and perish."

"I wish you good health." Razor exited the door, disappointed that he left on bad terms with his brother. He walked toward the center of the plaza with Whisper waiting for him.

"Are you ready to go?"

"I'm afraid so."
