Added DiffLines:
''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Flowerbeds'' (also referred to as ''PMD: Flowerbeds'') is a ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'' Fanfiction written by [=TheSnapDragon=].
It is the tale of Oswald, a human who awakens in the middle of a flower field to a world inhabited solely by talking Pokémon, with nothing but unconnected fragments of memories from his past to call his own. Upon awakening, Oswald immediately finds himself in a tough situation as none of the Pokémon surrounding him appears to be who they seem, most of them suspicious of him, others ready to make use of him for his own ends. With no one to turn towards bar the few Pokémon he forms a team with to keep him sane, Oswald finds himself dealing with an overbearing, mind reading guildmaster, an "evil" Malamar hell-bent on accumulating various artifacts including Oswald himself, and mystery dungeons that seem specially made to screw with him. All while he can't do anything besides wait for things to get better for him.
''Flowerbeds'' is a story that makes full use of plenty traditional elements of ''Mystery Dungeon'' stories, but pulls them off in a way that stays fresh and engaging. A character-driven story first and foremost, the progression is deliberately slow and methodically paced through the days of Oswald's stay in the new world, heavily focusing on character interactions and the slow-burn romance between Oswald and his partner Fenn, a Quilava with plenty of secrets of his own.
