History Fanfic / ForTheMission

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10926418/1/For-the-Mission For the Mission]]'' is a [[ForWantOfANail For Want of a Nail]] story by [=AeroJester203=] based around the events in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorersOfSky''. The shifting of events stems from the protagonist keeping his memories, and not having [[IdentityAmnesia amnesia]]. With his mission not erased from his memory, the human-turned-Pokemon seeks to find a way to complete it, despite still being turned into a Pikachu. However, saving the partner, an Eevee named Martha, from thugs that tried to mug her, she sets her heart on [[InSpiteOfANail recruiting him to form an exploration team]]. Not being able to tell her his mission and out of other options, he takes up an alias and [[TheMole accepts]] until he can figure out a way to leave.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: [[spoiler:Dark Martha]] over Dusknoir.
* BatmanGambit: Used by [[spoiler:Nate]] against Team Skull, three times, [[spoiler:as well as Wigglytuff's Guild]]. See ZeroApprovalGambit below.
** The first time, [[spoiler:Nate]] figured they'd cause trouble if he just stayed up late to catch them in the act. See DevilInPlainSight below.

** He even [[spoiler: internally [[ShouldHaveThoughtOfThatBeforeX chastises Martha for trusting him with her back after all he did.]]]]

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:[[PragmaticHero Nate]] and [[NoNonsenseNemesis Dusknoir]]]]. The latter even acknowledges [[spoiler:[[{{Foreshadowing}} that they could've been on the same side]]]].

* FridgeHorror: On the [[YMMV/ForTheMission YMMV tab]].

* ZeroApprovalGambit: [[spoiler:Nate's denouncement of the guild as well as confessing his identity as Grovyle's partner. After saying that he intended to collect the Time Gears again, they sent Team Rapid after him and saw that time was still stopped in Treeshroud Forest. Nate still never regained anybody's full trust after revealing his lies.]]

** Incidentally, [[spoiler:[[EvilFormerFriend Dark Martha]]]] tries this tactic after [[spoiler:Nate's]] repeated [[KirkSummation pleas]] for her to either let him finish his mission or help him if she really cares about him. After her [[ShutUpKirk responses]], and [[spoiler:Nate's]] rejection of her offer to go back with her, she attacks him again and then shouts that he just always wants to be TheHero and didn't have the guts to tell her the truth. [[ArmorPiercingResponse It backfires]]. [[BeingGoodSucks Very]], [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech very]] ''[[WorldOfCardboardSpeech horribly]].''

* TheMole: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] with [[spoiler:Ian/Nate]]. While he's not a villain posing as the good guy, or vice versa, if they found out what his mission entailed, [[CassandraTruth nobody would believe him]]. Worse, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero they would try to stop him]]. And yet he earns trust that he doesn't want, simply by helping Pokemon like he wants to while looking for information on his mission. Because of that, he's surrounded by "friends" that could [[ReliableTraitor become enemies at a moment's notice]].
