There was a person speaking above their heads, but no one could open their eyes. "Oh my, these pokemon need help" a voice said. 'Why are they not worried about us' Nicole thought. 'At least our pokemon are okay' Teddy thought through closed eyes. "Yes, quite young pokemon, and very small too" another voice said. 'Small' all three thought 'that is weird most of my pokemon is fully evolved'. The two people dragged the tree over to a house where the three woke up. "Uhh my head, where did that sphere go" Nicole said opening her eyes and sitting up. 'I wonder where I am' she thought. Nicole stood and thought that her body felt a bit off. "Teddy, Lucas" Nicole said lowly. "My, my what have we here" a voice said behind Nicole.
Nicole spun around to thank her rescuer "Thank you very much" Nicole said as she turned towards a Ferret. "No problem" Ferret said. "Ahhhhhhhhhh" Nicole screamed scared of the weird talking pokemon. "What is going on" Teddy said. "Oh Teddy thank goodness your awake" Nicole said spinning around to see a Chimchar "Ahhhhhhh". "Whoa a talking Pikachu" Teddy said. "Wait what" Nicole said finding a mirror and looking in it "Ahhhhhhh". "Will you keep it down" Lucas said coming out of another room. "Lucas come quick, come see this talking Pikachu" Teddy said as Nicole was pulling at her ears and tail. "Hey a Chimchar, but I wonder where Teddy is" Lucas said in the form of a Piplup. "Ahhhhhhh" Nicole screamed some more. "I think I will leave you three here to talk" the Furret said quite annoyed with the weird Pikachus screaming.
"Teddy, Lucas what is going on" Nicole said to them in a freaked out voice. "Nicole, wow you realize that you are a Pikachu right" Teddy said. "Yes and you don't seem to understand our predicament" Nicole said to the two. "What are you talking about" Teddy asked confused. "Umm look into the mirror" Nicole said. Lucas and Teddy looked, then did a double take and looked again. "What I am a Chimchar ahhhhhh" Teddy said sending out an ember by accident. "Ahh Piplup" Lucas screamed sending out a bubble. "No fair how do I control mine" Nicole said trying to use a thunderbolt. "Thundershock" Nicole said when she finally let loose an attack.
"Well, we are obviously not on a high level" Teddy said. "Oh of coarse" Nicole said. "Hey why are we pokemon" Lucas said. "The last thing I remember is that Billy guy being yelled at the next thing I know I am here" Nicole said. "Hey you know what I just realized" Teddy said. "What" the other two said. "We are the last pokemon we touched" Teddy said. "Hey you are right" Nicole said. "Hmm weird" Lucas said. "Now what" Teddy asked. "Now we go outside and act like pokemon no one can know that we are human" Nicole said. The three walked out of the room they were in to the other room.
"I am so glad that you three are feeling better" Ferret said as a Kingler came up to them. "So what are your names" the Kingler asked. "Teddy" Teddy said. "Nicole" Nicole said. "Lucas" Lucas said. "Ha you three planning to be a rescue team" the Kingler asked. "Whats a rescue team" Lucas asked. The two pokemon looked shocked. "You Really Don't Know" Ferret shrieked. "Well, a rescue team, is a group of pokemon that go out on missions to help pokemon in danger" Kingler said. "Will we travel" Nicole said. "Oh yes plenty of that" Kingler said. "Wait what we can't join" Teddy screeched. "Yes we can, I know by traveling we can find the answers we are looking for" Nicole said. "Good point" Lucas said. "Huuu Well Okay" Teddy said. "Where can we go to join" Nicole asked. "There is a team base in town" Kingler said. "Which is where exactly" Lucas asked.
"Huh you don't know, fine I will take you there" Kingler said. Teddy, Lucas and Nicole follow the Kingler into a town. "Cool" Teddy said. "This is HitMon Village" Kingler explained. "Over there is the Ludicolo Bank, the Beedrill Storage, the Machoke training, the Kecleon Brothers Shop, the Jigglypuff friend areas and last, but not least the Nidoking and Queen moves shop" Kingler said. "What are all they for" Teddy asked. "The bank is self-explanatory, the storage likewise, as is Machoke, but Friend areas are places you can buy for you to have new members joining your team. As for Nidoqueen and King one teaches you moves the other can teach you the best combinations and that just about does it I will show you where the base is" Kingler said.
The three followed Kingler to the base and they all stopped in awe. "Whoa it is the head of a Lucario" Teddy said amazed. "Hahaha at least you know your pokemon" Kingler said. "What" Nicole said alarmed. "You know you had no idea about rescue teams, but you know the different types of pokemon" Kingler explained. "Oh" Nicole said laughing slightly. They all went into the base and were confronted by a Steelix. "Um so here is the plan fire and water is super effective against steel, while my electricity is not at all effective, I will distract it" Nicole said thinking up a plan. "Who told you that you had to fight me" Steelix asked laughing. "Well I just thought since you were in a fighting stance" Nicole explained. "Well duh you have to fight me, but who told you" Steelix said gazing at Kingler. "No one" Nicole said.
"Let us Begin" Steelix said.
Teddy and Lucas used Bubble and Ember while Nicole used her speed to get its attention. "You won't win this way" Steelix said using an Iron Tail on all three. The three were thrown into the wall. Nicole got up winded 'Okay so this is not working' she thought. The most the three could do was dodge and they were very bad at it. "Hey Kingler can you help us" Nicole asked as Teddy was put into a wrap and screaming in pain. "Thought you would never ask" Kingler said firing off a BubbleBeam which hit Steelix in the face. "Enough" Steelix said.
"Well done" Steelix said. "But we never beat you" Teddy said confused. "No but you understood when you needed help, which is what being a rescuer is about" Steelix said. "Oh" Teddy said missing the point. "What he means is that we may be rescuing others, but we too need to know our limits" Lucas supplied for Teddy. "Ohhh" Teddy said. "Welcome to the Rescue Team Base" Steelix said. "Thanks glad to be here" Lucas said. "Yeah" Nicole said as Teddy said "You bet". "Well once everyone else gets back from their missions I will introduce you and at that appointed time give you your badge's and bag" Steelix said. "Why do we need those things" Teddy asked. "The badge is to show that you are a rescue member and the bag is to carry supplies" Steelix answered patiently "Do you have a name in mind". "Yeah I am Nicole, that is Teddy and that is Lucas" Nicole said. "No no no not that I mean your team name" Steelix said. "Hmm no" Teddy said. "Think about it" Steelix said walking off.
Teddy, Nicole and Lucas were soon left behind. So they decided to go exploring. At the front of the base was a ladder so they climbed down it and found the kitchen, with the eating times 9 A.M., 12 P.M. and 6 P.M posted. They climbed back up to find that they had missed a stair case. Up the stairs were two hallways. Nicole went one way and found the bedroom with some with some empty beds. 'I guess this is where we will be sleeping' Nicole thought as she looked at the bunk beds with straw in them. The boys went the other direction and ended up splitting up again. To the left was a room that said "Lucarios Room Do Not Enter" so Teddy decided to leave it alone. The way Lucas went was the briefing room, and this was the area where the pokemon got missions. Or at least that was what the sign said.
The three met back up just as they heard other pokemon climbing the stairs. "To the briefing room rookies" Steelix said before the other pokemon saw the newbies. Nicole, Teddy and Lucas followed Steelix back down the direction the boys went to where Lucas just was "I might have well stayed here" Lucas stated. "Oh my that mission was harsh" a female voice said. "I know we both got wiped out ten times before we left" another voice said. "We just have to try again" the first voice said. "Hey did you guys hear about Flaffy" a third voice said. "Did she trip over the tool box again" the first voice answered. "Yep" the third voice said. All the chatter stopped when six pokemon entered the room and saw the new pokemon. "Another mission" an Ivysaur said. "Nope new recruits" Steelix said.
'So we have a Dewgong, an Ivysaur, a Noctowl, a Bayleef, a Hitmonchan, and a Kirlia as our fellow rescuers' Nicole thought. "Oh no oh no oh my" a voice said down the hallway "I am late". A Flaffy came flying out of the hallway and tackled Nicole. "Ow" Nicole said as she landed on her back. "Oh no I am so sorry, I didn't see you there" Flaffy said upset. "It's okay" Nicole said standing up "I'll live". "Well anyway pokemon these are our new recruits" Steelix said. "Hey the names Teddy" Teddy said. "Hi there I am Lucas" Lucas said. "I am Nicole" Nicole said. "Well you can just call us all the pokemon we are" the Dewgong said. "So we have quite a bit of evolved pokemon" Nicole said feeling small. "Huh us, oh no we are just the advanced group we have to come here before we go home the real pokemon who live here are still on their missions" Bayleef said.
Just then another group of six appeared 'Turtwig, Snivy, Cyndaquil, Gastly, Vulpix and a Machop' Teddy thought to himself. "Those are your fellow base members" Ivysaur stated. "Whoa cool new members" Turtwig said happily. "Hmm so soon after Cyndaquil and I joined" Vulpix said. The now thirteen rescue members looked at Teddy, Lucas and Nicole. "Umm well hi, I am Nicole, that is Teddy and Lucas" Nicole said nervously. "Teams assemble" Steelix said. "Team Leaf" Ivysaur and Bayleef yelled. "Team Freedom" Hitmonchan and Kirlia yelled. "Team Shockers" Flaffy, Noctowl and Dewgong yelled. "Team Flaming" Cyndaquil and Vulpix yelled. "Team Razor- Sharp" Turtwig and Machop yelled. "Team Invincible" Snivy and Gastly yelled. "Now for your team name" Steelix said looking at three. 'Oh oh we never thought up a name' Teddy thought. "Beat-Them" Nicole whispered. "No" Teddy whispered. "Beaters-" Lucas whispered. "We are Team Beat-Them" Teddy, Nicole and Lucas said with no other ideas in mind.
"Welcome Team Beat-Them" Steelix said throwing the badges and bag to them "Now who is team leader". "Leader" Teddy said. "Yes leader" Steelix said. "I am" Nicole said. "Ok Nicole, the Pikachu is the leader of Team Beat-Them" Steelix said giving off a screech attack. "Oh no not again" the other pokemon grumbled. "Ahh my poor sensitive ears" Nicole said plugging them up to block out the noise. "You have now been initiated" Steelix said before leaving.
