About Me

Hiya! I'm Ambyssin, or Amby for short. I'm a resident physician who, perhaps foolishly, writes fan fic as a hobby. I wrote a sprawling, Generation VII-centric Pokémon Mystery Dungeon fic from 2017-2019. I'm currently working on its Generation VIII and IX-centric sequel. I have a small Discord server. The invite code is in the epilogue of Guiding Light or the start of Path of Valor.

My Stories

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Guiding Light
Shane is ecstatic to wake up and find he's become a Vulpix, even if he doesn't understand why he's got white fur. With all of his memories intact, he thinks he's pretty hot stuff. But all it takes is a mysterious force turning the Pokémon around him into vicious monsters for him to realize just how far in over his head he is. Can he put aside his ego, and his preconceived notions about being an explorer, to work with his partners and take down the dark powers threatening to rip the fabric of reality apart?

This is a pet project of mine that I'd started outlining in December of 2016, first posted elsewhere on August 2nd, 2017, and uploaded here starting in October of 2017. Essentially, it's a Gen VII-centric story, that looks to apply some of the big concepts (Z-Moves, Alolan forms, Totem Pokémon, and all things Ultra Space) to the world of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. I've been having a lot of fun with it so far, especially since it sadly looks like we won't be getting a Gen VII installment of PMD.

For those who are intimidated by this story's length, it is episodic in nature. Think of an episode like an anime arc or, better yet, a story chapter in the PMD games. The episode listing is as follows:

Episode 1: Parts 1-2
Episode 2: Parts 3-4
Episode 3: Parts 5-6
Episode 4: Parts 7-9
Special Episode 1: Parts 10-13
Episode 5: Parts 14-16
Special Episode 2: Parts 17-21
Episode 6: Parts 22-28
Episode 7: Parts 29-36
Episode 8: Parts 37-44
Episode 9: Parts 45-51
Episode 10: Parts 52-60
Episode 11: Parts 61-66
Episode 12: Parts 67-73
Special Episode 3: Parts 74-78
Absol Interlude: Parts 79-85
Episode 13: Parts 86-94
Episode 14: Parts 95-103
Special Episode 4: Parts 104-106
Episode 15: Parts 107-111
Episode 16: Parts 112-118
Special Episode 5 & Epilogue: Parts 119-123
Post-Epilogue Specials: Parts 124 and on

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor
The sequel to PMD: Guiding Light. A dreepy princess and her new classmates are thrust into a fight for the fate of the omniverse, battling foes both familiar and alien while unraveling the mysteries behind their world, their strange powers, the colossal force of nature known as Eternatus, and the mysterious presence known as the Butterfree Effect.

Although this fic takes place in a different world, it is Guiding Light's sequel. You'll have to read the fic if you want to understand why. I personally believe the writing quality of this fic is a lot better than Guiding Light's. I've been able to apply the critiques given to me by other authors. I have a proper beta reader for this fic. And the chapters are smaller and more focused. It's a solid fic that I think is a lot of fun if you give it a chance. Please consider leaving a review for it. Every comment helps the fic more than you possible know.

Shattered Selves by ShadowVulpi reviews
"Find the others. Become one." Those were her instructions. She had to find her other selves in the other dimensions if she wanted to prevent the entire multiverse from collapsing. It seemed simple. All her other selves would surely understand what's at stake and come with her. Why wouldn't they? Rated T in the beginning, becomes M later. Cover by JA-Punkster.
