I do not own Pokémon or Alvin and the Chipmunks. I do own some OC's here, such as Thomas, Hannah, and Chris. Warning: contains Psycho Taco Bag and a trigger happy Torchic. Also contains Ukulele Pichu, a martial artist Vileplume, crude humor, and explosions. Capture ON! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Meeting the Chipmunks
Just outside Mistralton City…
Our heroes continue their journey through the Unova region, but have stopped in the woods for lunch. Ben walked up to Cilan, Ash, Hannah, Summer, Iris, and Misty. Cilan was cooking lunch, and the others crowded around him. Pikachu, Axew, Torchic, Azurill, Pichu, and Vileplume were already eating. Hannah greeted Ben. "Hey, Ben. Have you seen Thomas?"
"I'm under the table," Thomas' voice came from under the lunch table.
"Why?"
"You should know better than to ask by now."
"I have really good news for you all!" Ben announced.
"Ben for that last time, we are not interested in buying or selling Woobat guano," Iris stated sternly. "Not after last time."
"No, no! That's not it!" Ben defended. "I just got a call from Headquarters. You guys want to meet the Chipmunks and Chipettes?"
"Huh? For real?" Summer asked.
"That's a whole lot better than Woobat guano!" Misty said ecstatically.
"The flavor of it is in a whole different league!" Cilan spoke in Connoisseur lingo.
"Yay! Simon has always been a favorite of mine!" Thomas announced from under the table.
"Would you get out from there?" Ash asked nicely.
"Hmm…nope. No can do."
"I like Jeanette. She's so cute and smart!" Hannah claimed.
"I'd pick Alvin. His outgoing nature and creativity is something else," Ben let his favorite Chipmunk be known.
"Normally, I like Brittany, but not as much ever since I heard about how she was treating Jeanette," Summer said thoughtfully.
"I bet you're now glad that I like to eavesdrop!" Thomas emerged from under the table.
"Mm…depends."
"Torchic, Torchic?" Torchic asked Hannah. Translation: Can I have a gun?
"What?" Hannah asked; bewildered. "No, dude!"
"Tom, we have to go pick them up," Ben said to Thomas.
"The Chipmunks and Chipettes?" Thomas guessed.
"You got it!" Ben nodded approvingly.
"Usually, I'm not that good a guesser," Thomas stated and shrugged.
Later on, at the camp site…
Thomas flew down on his Togekiss. The Chipette, Jeanette was on one shoulder, and the Chipmunk, Simon was on the other.
"Where's Ben?" Iris asked.
"He's having a little too much fun doing tricks up in the air. He should be descending on Latios any minute now," Thomas answered. He did introductions. "Simon, Jeanette, these are Ash, Misty, Iris, Cilan, Hannah, Summer, Pikachu, Pichu, Torchic, Axew, and my Partner Pokémon, Vileplume."
"It's very nice to meet you all," Simon stated.
"I-it really is," Jeanette agreed with a stammer. "Which of you saved my sister and Theodore? I heard it was done by top agents. I want to thank them."
"Well, top agents and Top Rangers, because this is news to me," Cilan answered and looked at Summer, Hannah, and Thomas with suspicion.
"To be honest, it is to me, too…" Summer claimed and looked to Thomas and Hannah.
"Guilty!" Hannah raised her hand and chuckled.
"I'm just glad I beat a truck driver with a thermos," Thomas stated.
"When did this happen?" Misty asked.
"Oh, you were sleeping."
"There were supposed to be three agents," Simon stated.
"You know what, the third person is our friend, Chris, but he was needed at the Ranger Union," Thomas informed him.
"Which is strange because he's not a Ranger, Operator, or Mechanic," Hannah realized.
"Yeah! The guy knows next to nothing about Pokémon. There must be a reason," Summer agreed.
"Voicemail, voicemail. Ben here. Bad news. I'm being chased down by Dr. Edward of the Societea. I'm going to land away from camp! I repeat: I'm going to land away from camp!" Ben reported via Styler voicemail.
"Brittany and Alvin are with Ben!" Jeanette gasped.
"Just trust him. He knows what he's doing," Thomas assured.
"Where are Theodore and Eleanor?" Iris asked curiously.
"Back home. S.I.P. doesn't know when or if they are going to send them here," Simon stated. S.I.P. was the abbreviation for Super Inter-dimensional Police, an organization of do-gooders who protect the Multi-Verse from the evil Shadow Master. (If you are wondering, check my profile)
"We have to find Ben, Brittany, and Alvin!" Summer stated with determination.
"Right! Let's go! Come on, Vileplume!" Thomas agreed.
"Plume!" Vileplume grunted and nodded. Translation: Right!
Summer, Hannah, Thomas, Torchic, and Vileplume ran into the woods. Simon and Jeanette followed.
"We'd better go, too!" Ash decided.
"Okay!" Misty agreed.
"You're not going with out us!" Iris took Cilan's hand and raised it.
"Um, Iris…I like the flavor of your enthusiasm, but…" Cilan began, but trailed off. The remainder of the group followed the Ranger/Trainers (in these, some Pokémon Rangers are Trainers as well).
In the sky…
"Ben, hurry!" Brittany shrieked. "He's right behind us!" They were riding Latios, being chased by Dr. Edward, who was riding his customized Z.Z. Flyer.
"I thought Nema took and redesigned them all," Ben muttered under his breath.
"What does the geezer have against you, anyways?" Alvin asked through the wind.
Ben smiled and simply said, "I'll explain later. Latios, dive down!"
"Ti!" Latios obliged and dove into the trees. Translation: Okay!
In the trees, Ben called Latios back into the Master Ball he had caught it with a year prior. Ukulele Pichu was perched on his shoulder. Brittany and Alvin were on his head. Only two things were on his mind: finding his friends, and losing Edward. Just then, the branch beneath his feet froze until it had a solid layer of ice over it. He jumped down to find Ice of the Sinis Trio smirking at him. Behind him was the powerhouse, Heath. Something wasn't right. Where was Lavana? The three were usually together or in three separate places.
Ben decided to greet them with a growl. Ice said coolly, "Chill out, kid. You know you can't win."
"You Viper scum!" Ben snarled.
"I thought the Vipers were dead," Brittany whispered.
"Yes, Kincaid, he fell 200 meters from top of Altru Tower. Body vanished. Dead or alive? We don't know," Heath said informatively. Ben gasped at the news.
"But that's on a need-to-know basis," Ice said sternly. "And the Hero of Oblivia, who ironically is in Unova, did not need to know that. Your little friends Chris and Nema are responsible."
Ben smirked, partially because of the good news, and partially because he had an idea. He had some of Nema's Super-Special-Giga-Smokescreen Bombs in his backpack. "Alvin, Brittany, Pichu, on the count of three, run…three!" He took out a smoke bomb and threw it to the ground. A huge cloud of smoke filled the area. The two chipmunks, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon, and the Ranger began sprinting.
"Find them!" Ice growled at Heath. "We'll split up and search!"
Meanwhile, with the others…
Hannah had encountered a Sewaddle that seemed to know where Ben was. Summer, seemingly unsure, asked, "Hannah, are you sure you know where we're going?"
"Yep. Right, Sewaddle?" Hannah assured. She knelt down and gave it a pat on the head. "You're so cute!"
The sound of a small explosion came from nearby. Thomas smiled and said, "That's our Ben!"
"Let's go!" Hannah said with Torchic perched on one shoulder. Sewaddle used String Shot to land on the other. "You want to come to?"
"Sewaddle!" Sewaddle nodded with determination. Translation: Yes!
"For a Bug- and Grass-type, that's a fiery little guy," Summer complimented Sewaddle.
"I think I should catch it. You want to come with me, Sewaddle?" Hannah asked it. Sewaddle nodded with enthusiasm.
The sound of trees falling was made suddenly. Simon jumped and nearly fell off of Thomas' shoulder. "What was that?"
"…Oh, no! It's Arley! He has Regigigas with him!" Thomas tensed up. Arley, the strength factor of the Societea, a legendary band of thieves, well…the term "strength factor" said it all. He and Dr. Edward were the only members of the Societea left, after the team turned Hocus and Kasa.
"Run!" Ash yelled from close behind. "Ice and Heath are with Arley!" He, Misty, Iris, and Cilan were running for their lives.
"The excitement never dies," Thomas sighed. "Vileplume, girls, let's go!" The three Ranger/Trainers began to dash again.
