The Born Again Novice
Prologue:
It's Midnight, and a cool breeze veers over the ocean. The sea is at rest and silent, not a break in sight. The moon looms above, casting a luminescent white light atop the vast body of water. Cloudless, the perfect weather was like that of a painting. Pristine and vibrant. The sound of light movement shatters the silence, as a blue shape slowly rises to the surface. With a dazed expression, a single Wailmer looks up to the sky. With a faint yawn, he began stretching his muscles a bit. The cool ocean breeze lightly washes over him, making him smile in comfort. It really was a pleasant night, yet again. The calm sea with a moonlit night was most assuredly the most relaxing sight to behold. For years, the ocean would welcome this pleasant omen with open arms. Nights like these were famous among most Pokemon of this world. Yes, in a world that only consisted of Pokemon, it was always quite peaceful. Yet, sometimes, the smallest of shifts in the wind can start a powerful wave.
An unusual shadow moves across the night sky, swift and silent it moved with purpose. The Wailmer, curious at first, watched as it hovered right in front of the moon's glow, casting a single shadow onto the ocean surface. Suddenly, a loud splash was heard below the shadow as it seemed to drop something into the depths. As quickly as it came, the flying shadow disappeared into the night sky, leaving what it dropped below. Whatever was left began to move slowly, before sinking itself under the water. Within a few moments, the sea was quiet once again. The water Pokemon, intrigued by this strange sight, decided to follow the shadow and it too sank.
Diving below ocean surface, the familiar cool feeling washed over the Wailmer. Submerged once again, he began to propel himself forward, looking for the dropped object. Maybe...they would want whatever it was returned? The Wailmer quickened its pace, trying to spot the object before it was lost in the depths. At the corner of its eye, it spotted movement. Wailmer turned quickly only to see it jet away quickly. This confused Wailmer further, somehow, the object kept moving. Not willing to be outdone, Wailmer began to stride forward with all his strength. He pushed against the water as hard as he could to catch up. For what felt like hours, both Wailmer and the foreign object continued to sink further into the depths of the ocean. With his struggles bearing fruit, Wailmer noticed the object duck into a crevice in the sea floor. Fatigued, the Wailmer did the same, but stopped at the entrance. It plopped into the sand, trying to catch a breath. A few deep wheezes later, the Pokemon peered into the large crevice under him. Is..this a Mystery Dungeon? Under the sea? He wondered to himself, feeling a bit disheartened. He shook his head rapidly, trying to find courage. I-I can't fall behind, even here! He took another much needed breath, and dived into the dark crevice.
[ BF1 ]
The inside of the underwater cave was dark and sinister, void of any sound. Strangely, though supposedly not for a mystery dungeon, the water only rose to the average adult human’s chest height. What the hell even is a human? The floor was sort of small, but still maze-like. It didn’t take long to find the path that led farther down.
[ BF2 ]
After traversing the claustrophobic passage, he emerged onto another floor, just like the last one. “I guess that’s what a mystery dungeon is like…” He wandered some distance, and eventually found the next passage. There was a small Carvanha guarding it… “Alright, put yer hands in the air and gimme all o’ yer fuckin money.” Wailmer was too scared to fight back. “O-okay...I don’t have much…” “Well I guess I’ll just have to take yer life then, won’t I?!” The Carvanha raced at the Wailmer, baring his teeth. “Please, no!” (Wailmer used Rollout!) He began to roll all around the room. “PLEASE NO DON’T HURT ME!” Throughout his wild and random rolling, he accidently crashed into the Carvanha, fainting him. “Oh...I’ll take my money back then..” He proceeded downwards.
[ BF5 ]
Wailmer had gone down through a few more floors. He encountered little resistance along the way, but it became clear to him that he would have to fight to continue on, so he did. He began to see beautiful, sparkling crystals imbedded in the wall… “These could be worth quite a bit.” He dug a few out of the wall and placed them into his pouch. Eventually, he found the next path, and continued downwards.
[ BF9 ]
Wailmer could see a light at the end of a rather straightforward floor. He proceeded towards it cautiously...
[ Coral Castle Outskirts ]
Wailmer exited the vast sea cavern, fatigue and exhaustion weakening him greatly. Wheezing, he halted his progression, floating in the open water. His fins were sore, and he could hardly pump forward any longer. However, he proceeded onwards towards the light.The curious Pokemon glanced below to find an amazing sight that took his breath away. An enormous coral castle lied below at the bottom of the large underwater basin. Huge shimmering pearls reflect light from the inner walls. Huge schools of Basculin patrol the area like clockwork, never leaving a single side unchecked. He also noticed two Caracoasta guarding a huge gate, both holding large and ornate spears.
The Wailmer is completely taken aback by his discovery, who knew a huge coral castle would be at the end of this dungeon? It was beyond beautiful, and he felt a loss of words for what he was seeing. Suddenly, an explosion caught the Wailmer off-guard. Huge ripples of water began to pass by him, seemingly coming from the water palace. Once he looked closer, a huge hole had been blown through the side. The Basculin began to swarm in a panic, swirling into formation, forming a large spiral around the opening. But, they weren’t ready for what was coming. A bright white beam shot forth from the hole, hitting any and all Pokemon in sight. One by one, the squadrons froze and fell to the coral depths below.
Once most of the spiral had fallen, a figure emerged from the hole carrying some sort of glimmering item. A deep rumble was heard within the Coral Castle, and the water itself began to drop in temperature. Panicking himself, Wailmer fled back toward the dungeon entrance not wanting to see the end of this scene. He looked back once more, only to catch a glimpse of the dangerous figure. A long tail swished behind him menacingly as it seemed to grin with excitement. The rumbles grew stronger and a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire basin. Wailmer decided to ignore his curiosity and finally flee the scene, leaving behind the danger of this coral fortress.

Chapter 1: A Cry for Help
“....! elp…! Humans! Listen to me! I need your help! Something...disastrous is coming upon us. Something beyond a normal Pokemon's control. No...we need...those different than us. Strong, brave of heart and resistant to...the corruption. I have chosen you {INSERT NUMBER HERE} humans to come help us because you all possess special innate abilities. Another voice chimes in. “We can sense the power that hides within.” There is a short pause before the voice returns, coughing a bit. Yes...well, I’ll judge you each individually to decide what you should become. First I’ll judge...you, with the long brown hair. Yea, you, lanky. You have a strong fighting spirit. Rather standoffish, aren’t we? I think you’d be fine as a powerful and benevolent Gallade, but we’ll start you off as a Ralts. I think I’ll have a dawn stone ready for you when you turn into a Kirlia, though. Next up, I’ll take you, the blonde one with the wavy hair. You seem rather calm, but adventurous. Very calculating, and your care for the world around you is commendable. Not to mention, you have a mystic aura... I think you’d be a wise and noble Lucario, but we’ll start you off as a Riolu. Lastly...you...with the scraggly and curly black hair. Wow. You’re really fucking lazy, aren’t you? Like, damn. Kinda wonder why I picked you now. You...you seem rather chill and...you like thunderstorms? Completely opposite to one of my closer friends I know. You know what, I’ll have you be an Elekid, your laziness will drive the guy crazy! This...is important alright? I...we...need you to save us from the corrupti-... Guh..my power is starting to wane...I can’t...control...the transport…! Ji….help….GAAAH!”
