History FanFic / PokemonMysteryDungeonSilverResistance

* DoorStopper: 50 chapters in, with 20 chapters being either the previous 50 split up into parts or specials, and we are currently over 500,000 words. ''At the halfway mark''. It's not Ri2's Mystery Dungeon epic ''Fanfic/BraveNewWorld'', at over 2,000,000 words, but it still should take a while to read.

It chronicles the story of Char--a human who awakens to find himself having been transformed into a Charmander, stripped of all [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memories of his past life]], and left stranded in Ambera, a world where [[{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]] can talk and have built a thriving civilization. All is not well in Ambera however, as it is being ruled by a tyrannical entity only known as "[[{{EvilOverlord}} The Master]]". If that's not bad enough, Ambera is also plagued by "the Watchers", a mysterious group of ghost Pokémon that only appear at night and relentlessly attack any being unfortunate enough to encounter them.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: An inversion, of sorts: Char is surprised to discover that being a Fire-type does ''not'' grant him immunity to fire, and that it's not a very good idea to [[spoiler: sleep in a burning brazier]]. Otherwise played mostly straight; this is [[{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]], after all.

* [[spoiler: [[WrongGenreSavvy Wrong]]]] GenreSavvy: The entirety of Team Ember, when approached by Team X as part of an ''extremely'' obvious attempt to infiltrate the Gold Division in Chapter 23. [[spoiler: And then it turns out they were probably good guys all along. Oops...]]

* ShoutOut: The author has used the fic to make numerous of these to its inspiration, the VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon games, as well as roguelikes in general.
** There are also several Shout Outs to others fanworks, such as CharCole.

* WhamLine: [[spoiler: ''Have a good rest, Amadeus...'']]

* [[WeNeedMoreX We Need More Team Members]]: Char's reaction once he sees the sheer amount of to-do missions that are posted on their bulletin board. The members of Team Ember then schedule an interview to hire new recruits.

** TheLancer: Saura

* WhatCouldHaveBeen : Chapter 87 mentioned the possibility of AlternateTimeline where [[spoiler: Char picked other partner than Saura]].

* TheObiWan: Domo the Ditto, and later Prince the Infernape are the only characters who seem to be able to relate directly to Char and teach him more about his fire power.

* [[spoiler:AnArmAndALeg]]: Char in the Temporal Tower arc; [[spoiler:{{subverted|Trope}} within a chapter.]]

* TheEmpath: Inverted by [[spoiler:Anyone with the Call. They're essentially impressing their emotions and perceptions on the Pokémon around them]] without realizing it. In some cases it's good ([[spoiler: Lily and Prince]]), but others not so much (See the NiceJobBreakingItHero entry below).

* [[spoiler: PhonyPsychic: Eva.]]

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: While scaling [[spoiler: Temporal Tower, Prince]] uses the Rock Smash technique to excavate a makeshift shelter in a mountainside for the crew to evade the coming Watchers, [[spoiler: (a result of Temporal Tower's advanced Mystery Dungeon anomaly.)]] Though he succeeds in his task, he fails to direct the cracks properly, causing several of them to extend upwards. He simply looks up, expresses recognition, and then gets a look of shame right before a giant slab of stone falls right on top of him. As [[spoiler: Lily]] soon explains, this exact same incident has happened THREE times in the past.

* [[spoiler:AnArmAndALeg]]: Char in the Temporal Tower arc; [[spoiler:it's temporary, though.]]

Also has a one-shot parody named [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9982753/1/Pok%C3%A9mon-Mystery-Dungeon-Grey-Rebels Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Grey Rebels]]

''[[BadassCreed …Until the last ember fades.]]''

* KeepingSecretsSucks: Just about all of the main characters hate having to keep secrets locked up in their hearts, but special mention goes to [[spoiler: Char]], who begins to fall apart when he receives a new power in Season IV.

*** [[spoiler: However, the DeviantArt exclusive bonus chapters do reveal more about Cepheus. Namely that he's Ray and Rautzen's uncle.]]

** The rewrite commentary on DeviantArt isn't particularly subtle. The first line has [=ScytheRider=] tossing out [[spoiler: the fact that Char is named Amadeus, and that the voice is Giratina - both facts that aren't revealed until Chapter 69.]]

**** [[spoiler: The DeviantArt journal on the chapter not only confirms this, it also outright states that the god Saura has on his side is actually referring to Amadeus's pre-arranged plan-which would logically protect Saura from Adiel.]]
