Hello Everyone! It has been a while, but now I have returned again! Now I don't want to use any more time, because I want to go straight to my new story! So let's get right into it! (I know it will be a bit weird sounding, but please bear with me)

Chapter 1: Partners in Crime

It had been a few months since Charlie had won the factory. He remembered all the times he had spent in it since. However, he had never left the factory since, for he had somewhat of a gloomy outlook around him. The other four people he met didn't really help that. Still, he was forgiving of them, and that made things slightly better. Right now, he was focused on something Wonka was trying to convince him of.

"I'm telling you, things will be better if you join it! You've done training and it will be good for you!" Wonka was attempting to have Charlie leave the factory and head to this Pokemon Tag Team Tournament. You see, Pokemon exist in this world, and Charlie happened to be a trainer himself.

"I don't know," Charlie reluctantly replied.

"What do you have to lose? You're a great Bug-type trainer, and you will probably get a great partner. Stop underestimating yourself and go for it!"

Charlie looked for a second. "I will do it on one condition. That you stay and watch me."

Mr. Wonka then smiled. He held out Pokeballs and said, "I'll do better than that! I'll join in!"

Charlie was shocked, but Wonka said, "If you thought I would never be tempted to become a trainer in my youth, you're crazy!" He laughed haughtily and said, "Not only were they good companions when I was alone, but Steel-types are very helpful in general! They fit right in with the factory! And by the way, I already registered the both of us, so you have to go anyway."

Charlie was annoyed at this, but nonetheless impressed. "Well, I hope you and I get teamed up together! And think of what winning would do for publicity! Who knows: it might be fun!"

Hours later, they arrived at the tournament stadium, and so many trainers were present. The MC spoke, "Hello everyone! Welcome to the TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT! In this event, trainers will be paired up together and will battle against other trainers in order to win! There will also be a special prize for the winners! Now, here's how we divide you up!"

He pointed to a screen, where there was a huge bracket. "Your registration card has a number, and whomever's card is next to yours, that will be your partner for the entire tournament! Hold out your cards!" Charlie and Mr. Wonka held out their cards. Charlie had a 29 and Mr. Wonka had a 42. The MC hit a button and all of the numbers showed up on the bracket. Charlie's partner had number 27, and Mr. Wonka's was 21. "Now, everyone go off to find your partner!"

Mr. Wonka and Charlie went in separate directions, but neither one had any luck finding their partner. Mr. Wonka called out, "I'm number 42! I'm looking for number 21!"

A voice came up from behind, "Well, how are you? I'm number 21, Mr. Wonka." Mr. Wonka turned around to see it was Mike. He was holding the number 21 card and chuckling in a sinister manner. "I guess we're partners." He was wearing a red and black t-shirt with blue jeans. He was at his normal height, and he wore sunshades.

Charlie looked around and still had no success finding his partner. He did happen to notice Augustus, however! "Augustus? You're here?"

Augustus turned and smiled. He was rather muscular and wore a soccer uniform. "Hallo, Charlie! I did not expect to see people zat I know, but I am happy to see you again! I am in ze competition, as vell. I'm number 15. Incidentally, have you zeen number 5?"

"Well you boys are looking fantastic!" They turned to see a girl wearing a green dress and furs. They knew her all too well. "It has been a long time! Oh, and I am number 5! Talk about a coincidence!"

"Veruca," Charlie said, "It's been too long. So what Pokemon do you two specialize in? I specialize in Bug-types."

Veruca replied, "I specialize in Grass-types, but don't think I won't give you a tough fight!"

Augustus also answered with determination, "I specialize in ze Normal-type! But they won't go down easily!"

They then heard a voice, "Oh come now! I could take you all on!" It was Mike standing by Mr. Wonka. "I specialize in Electric-types. Fitting, eh?"

"So Mike and Mr. Wonka are in this, too. How strange that every one of us is paired up together," Veruca stated with a hint of curiosity.

Charlie then realized, "Oh no! I haven't found my partner yet! I have to go find him/her!"

He then heard an angry female voice behind him, "You have to be kidding me! Of all the partners here, I'm stuck with you!" They turned to see it was Violet, holding a 27 card and staring angrily at Charlie. She was wearing a dark blue tracksuit and had her normal skin and hair back. "I guess I have no choice now." She pointed right at Charlie and shouted, "Just stay out of my way and this will be quick and painless!"

Charlie replied, "Now hold on! I'm in this, too! Don't just count me out!"

"You tell her, Charlie!" Mike said.

Violet turned the other direction and said as she walked away, "Just do whatever you want. Don't be late for our tag battle, got it? Or else you'll be sorry."

That's the first chapter! This will be kind of a long story! It may or may not be hard to follow, but I will do the best I can to make sure I bring a good experience. Take care everyone!
