There had always been stories of them – Humans, coming to the lands and walking around in the skin of Pokémon. Legends of a great ball of fire in the sky, time and space ripping itself apart, the world being thrust into turmoil following the arrival of a single human, who, along with a partner, managed to find a way to bring peace, if only for a short while.
Whatever peace there was diminished over time, uneasiness growing – the clans began to fight, at first for resources, then just pure dominance. There was going to be a war, and it was going to be terrible.
Everyone called for a hero – a human disguised as a Pokémon that would appear and save them from themselves.
Countless Pokémon stepped forward from every faction, claiming to be a human sent to help them – their saviour with a divine cause. Most of these Pokémon perished – either thrown into the fire of war, or sent away to seclusion following the uncovering of their lies.
The war was fought. Lives were lost – an immeasurable amount. Earthquakes, floods, rain of fire and ice – poison clouds, nightmares and never-ending sleep. In the end, nobody won.
Nobody was left unscathed – even years later, tensions were high and the boundaries drawn that faithful day all those years ago still remained drawn, except for one place.
Right in the heart of the land, the Chansey Corps was established from within the Normal-type territory. Dedicated to saving lives and taking strides back towards peace, the Chansey Corps is a healing facility, open for anyone to seek assistance from, or join as a part of a unit. Even when the war was over, Pokémon still needed help, and the members of the Chansey Corps were there.
It was the only place at the time that allowed all Pokémon of all types to live together, even after the war.
Things were beginning to look up for a while – trade routes were being established outside of the Normal territory, and communications, no matter how bitter, were coming through.
That was, until…
A plague. It started in the Grass territory – Pokémon getting tired and weak, eventually succumbing and fading away. From there, it appeared to spread, random Pokémon from different territories – there was apparently no link, aside from the symptoms.
Then it started happening in groups – two Pokémon at a time, then three and four.
Once more, everything became tense. Some cried that it was a toxin from the Poison Pokémon, other’s claiming it was mind-tricks from a dark or psychic Pokémon, or some kind of absorption attack from a grass type. The clans began turning on each other again, and all the while Pokemon were wasting away, the threat of war loomed again on the horizon. The Chansey Corps took on the responsibility of finding a cure, or some way to stop the disease, despite their small numbers. They called out across the land for Pokémon that might be brave enough to lend a hand – helping pokemon saving people and searching for answers.

Alright, so I was looking to see who might be interested in doing a Gijinka-based Pokemon Mystery Dungeon RP. The plot follows a similar line as the games, which is you have Human(s) coming to save the Pokemon(who in this case are just humanized pokemon) from a big threat. Obviously it's a bit darker than the games, but hopefully that'll prove to make it more interesting.
For the most part, everyone will be working in either one larger group, or two smaller groups. My goal was about 6 people (3 pairs of Human/Partner).
The finer details can be worked out later if enough interest is generated, so go for your life if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Also, I will say at this point - You're not going to be able to use a Legendary as a character. Or even a psuedo-legendary. You could try and argue the point to me, but please don't, especially if your only arguement is "But ____ is my favourite!".
