Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Journal

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Journal (known as MD Journal on the author's deviantART page) is a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon fanfiction written Tom Pokenutter.

It details the adventures of Heath, a human who wakes up one day transformed into a Pokémon, in true Mystery Dungeon style. From his awakening in a cave, he is taken in by a friendly Charmander named Kim, and starts a rescue team with an Axew named Julius. Complications arise.

The fic uses first-person present-tense to give the reader an insight into Heath's head, and so that the reader is never aware of any more than Heath is.

This fic contains examples of:
""For some reason, he isn’t emanating his usual terrifying aura, but then it dawns on me; he has me in his pocket, Kim is scared to death of him, and Julius just wants to take jobs. He doesn’t need to terrify us.""
 * The Ace: Melchior.
 * Action Girl: Kim, arguably the most competent member of Team JUMP.
 * Arc Words: "I awaken surrounded by darkness."
 * Diary
 * Emotion Bomb: Jaroda's (and Lady Christine's) Fear Aura.
 * Good Is Not Nice: Jaroda, full stop.


 * It Got Worse: According to the Author, this is supposed to happen around the fourth arc.
 * Jerkass: Julius, after he finds out that Heath is a Human.
 * Manipulative Bastard: Jaroda, who uses his Fear Aura to dig up some dirt on Heath (namely, the fact that he's a human,) and then rope him into delivering a letter.
 * Mythology Gag: The Grovyle, Meowth, and Chimchar who work the Sylvan Elevator? Those are characters from an old fanfic the author never finished.
