Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Eon Guardians

(CURRENT COVER IS TEMPORARY)

•••••••••

River didn't know what to expect when his sister bought that weird, rusty old glass amulet from that antique store. He didn't expect anything, really, just for Brooke to throw it in with her pile of other dumb old stuff once she got tired of wearing it around everywhere. He also didn't know what to expect when the two of them stumbled across that strange shrine in the woods, on their way home from school the following day.

What he certainly wasn't expecting was to wake up in a whole other world- far away from home, his sister, and everything he once knew, with barely any memories. Least of all the part where he turned into a Totodile somewhere in between all that.

Not that it matters. Not how he got here, not how he became a Pokémon, not this strange purple lava that's been apparently burning down everything outside the local village, not this boring old legend about these legendary guardians. Especially not this arrogant, self-absorbed Torchic that has this strange obsession with this so-called "rivalry" he's fabricated in his little bird brain.

No, what matters now is finding Brooke and getting the hell back home. Frustratingly enough, though, that's going to take patience. And a lot of smarts.

Thankfully, he's got both of those aspects covered. And he won't stop until he reunites with his family, whatever the cost.
