"Oh..." Monado's voice sounded disappointed "so the Adventure Guild isn't open right now. I'm...I'm sorry, I'll come back some other time." Just like that, he began to slowly float away, feeling pretty crummy. Today had been going so well. One large string of wonderful things kept happening to him. 'I should have know my luck would run out sooner or later. After all; I'm just a piece of dead scrap. Good things don't keep happening to pieces of dead scrap like me'

One of the first things taught in his village was how to blend into a crowd. The trick was to not look too inconspicuous, since that in fact drew suspicion. Regular Pokemon are never completely completely inconspicuous after all. So as Ame walked through the streets of Sunny Town, he kept to himself, but didn't make any kind of effort to conceal himself. He found himself on the other end of a few stares, but they were purely curious stares. With his entire village missing, he was mostly at a loss as to what to do. His only real option had been to come here in search of whatever lead he could find. As luck would have it, he found one

'It seems almost too good to be true; an Adventure's Guild. That's a far bigger break then I ever dreamed of. While I'll admit that a guild like this springing up so soon to the attack on my village is suspicious, I can't think of any logical connection. It's only just been formed, and by a young Braixen none the less. I can't imagine this guild being in anyway connected to that Lucario. It's like Grandfather always said; there are no coincidences, only chances and traps. I'm betting that this is more a chance then anything else. Sure an exploration guild would have a lot of incoming information about any current events. A safe place to train, as well as wait for information

He was broken out of his musings when a twitchy Sableye crossed his path "yes...the signs...EVERYWHERE! Soon...soon...it will happen. The rocks...the rocks have shown be the truth....and the grass agrees...THE GRASS NEVER AGREES! There is no doubt...coming......it is COMING!"

Before Ame could even question what he just saw, a Slowbro lying in a nearby patch of grass said "oh boy...that Smeagol sure is lively today" he voice droned on in a rather lazy manor "he really needs to just relax. He's way too wound up"

Another nearby Pokemon, a Ninetails, added "ha! Carbuncle, if Smeagol started to relax like you, he'd be completely unrecognizable"

"Maybe" the now identified Carbuncle admitted. Then, with a yawn he said "I'm starting to get a little tired. I'm going to take a little nap" and with that, he fell asleep almost instantly

'Well...that was an interesting experience. Seems like Sunny Town has quite a colorful cast of characters. I miss my home even more' With an internal sigh, and guild advertisement in hand, Ame made his way to the old library

Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn

Well now this was a fascinating piece of architecture; an entire building of ice. "I wonder how it was constructed? It looks so intricate that it must have taken a lot of attention to detail." Then there was the stairs. Now while Simo didn't have much experience with ice, he was pretty sure that all ice was supposed to be slippery. Yet that ice had been as slick as stone. "The other worlds really are filed with all kinds of wonders. I'm so glad I left home"

However he didn't get long to admire the structure before him, because a group of three strange beings crept into the building. Readying his weapon, he thought aloud "I wonder if those are more of the Heartless things that we've been fighting. If they are, then what are they doing here? Are they after the Queen, and if so, then why? They don't seem intelligent enough to make full use of having a Queen for a prisoner...so then why?"

I know, it sounds so awesome! I can't wait until they both fully evolve

'This is it; this is the reason I have these powers. Now it's time to put them to use.' Mike equipped his Spirit Bokken. "Zandaka" when his whispered that word, he could feel the strength of his body and spirit merge, as they had done so many times in the past. While Zandaka's MP cost was higher then his MP regeneration rate, the increase to his WIS stat boosted his MP Regeneration a little bit. So now the net cost for keeping Zandaka up was much smaller. Along with his high MP pool, he felt that he could keep this up for awhile. After all, he only had one attack skill that he really used anymore. Plus with his STR almost at 40 now, he felt that he could even get by with just normal attacks. "Okay, I'm ready."

I'll post Ame's part in a bit

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Tree Of The Cosmos

"Wow! This place is so much different from Bedrock Village" the Honedge named Monado marveled as he floated through the streets of Sunny Town with a small bag of food on the back of his sheathe. "This entire place just seems to have this...this...aura of...energy. I just...feel so alive here. I'm having trouble putting it into words!" His old home and been a rather bleak looking place, even the air itself seemed stale sometimes. Sunny Town on the other hand felt so much more fresh and full of life. "I wasn't too sure what to make of the name of this place at first, but now I'm sure; Sunny Town fits this place to a 'T'"

"It does my heart good to hear an outsider say that. However, are you aware that you're talking out loud?" A strange voice asked him from behind

"Huh?" Turning around, Monado found a large Camerupt "Oh hello there! My name is Monado, what's your?"

"Quite a friendly little fellow, aren't you?" The Camerupt chuckled "my name is Quaga. However most people just seem to call me the mayor's son"

"The mayor's son...that means you can help me!" Monado cried out in excitement "see, I just got here looking for adventure and other such stuff. Since you no doubt know this place really well, maybe you could point me in the right direction"

This time Quaga let out a more cheerful laugh "is that so? Ah, your's is a rare kind. While I'd love to help you, I have to ask; do your parents know about this?"

Monado shook his body "I doubt it, My egg was left at an orphanage, and I doubt the people in charge will mind too much that I'm missing. Heck, the only people who will probably care are the ones who used to bully me" he answered in a tone of voice that was far to cheerful for s sentence like that

Quaga looked completely horrified "that...that's awful!"

Monado nodded (read tilted his body) "yeah, it was. But hey, that's all in the past now. Everything's only going to get better from here"

A weak smile appeared of Quaga's face "you are so strong for one so young. If only others could be as optimistic as you." Quaga sighed "as for your request; my first idea would be for you to try the Police Department...or at least it would be if the hard headed Sargent would hire anyone else then a Growlithe" he mumbled the last part "however I think you're in luck. I myself just returned home after some business took me out of town, but I'm already hearing about a young Braixen who's sent up an Adventure's Guild"

At this point, Monado was shaking in excitement "eeeeeeeeeeeeeee" he squealed pure joy

Quaga chuckled at the sight of the little sword "I believe she's set up shop at the old library. I can give you direction is you want"

---

A bit latter, Monado found himself in front of the old library, just where Quaga said it would be "this is so exciting! I'm one step closer to my dream." Using his sash to knock on the door, he called out "hello! Is anyone in there!? I want to become a heroic adventure and go on lots of quest to save people and beat up bad guys!" In his excitement riddled mind, he completely missed the Zorua also in front of the door

You can have an interesting character without having dead parents, you know. There's other sources of strife. I'm not hating on everyone's backstories, just found it a bit odd how all of them shared a theme.

Fair enough. It is kind of odd, so I can't really blame you for wanting to point that out.

Also, on an unrelated note; Fell and I have been doing some talking, and I'm going to be controlling quite a few NPCs. Just a heads up so no one questions it when I control characters without CS's in my posts

Why does everyone's past have to be so tragic?I mean, literally every single backstory so far has included at least one lost/missing loved one/family member. What's up with that?

I like it, makes it feel like One Piece
