---Middle of the Night---

The soft, white figure sleeping on a white-and-red bed shifted a bit before a sapphire eye opened before sitting up and looking at himself. (The way I look... I'm still the same. . . I'm still Absol. But why? Why would I transform into a Pokémon?)

The male Absol rolled onto his back as he gazed at the open window. A gentle breeze floated through as moonlight shined onto the shiny female Eevee, Dash.

(. . . I don't understand this at all. . .) The disaster Pokémon thought to himself as he rolled back on his stomach. (Nngh. I feel groggy. . . Not feeling well. Sleep. . .)

With that the shiny Pokémon fell back into deep slumber.

---The Next Morning---

Bright streams of sunlight crept from the open window onto an unoccupied black (with silver designs) bed.

Silver-white paws walked silently and slowly towards a red and gold bed with a certain fox Pokémon asleep on it.

Silence for a moment before. . .

"GOOD MORNING KYUUBI!!!"

"What the-!?"

Tackle!

Thump!

"Ow. . . Damn it Dash! What was that for?!" The fire fox Pokémon shouted annoyed while rubbing the newly formed bump on her head.

From a safe distance away, the mischievous Eevee grinned slyly as she gave an 'innocent' look to the glaring Vulpix. "What? It's not my fault you didn't wake up before me, Kyuubi."

"Who could?" Kyuubi mumbled as she sulked the way to the dining stump. "You wake up right when the sunlight appears."

Dash grinned once more before trotting towards breakfast. "G'morning everyone!"

"Morning, Dash." Atsuko mumbled before yawning and smiling at the ruffled fox. "Got jumped again, huh?"

"Stuff it." Kyuubi retorted starting on her breakfast before noticing that someone was missing. "Odd? Where's that runt of an Absol, Shun was it?"

"So you actually decided to remember his name." The evolution Pokémon mumbled with an amused look on her face. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

Anime veins appeared around the fox, "Quiet you! And answer the freaking' question already!"

Dash gave a lazy grin before looking around for the baby-sized disaster Pokémon. "Truth be told, I have no idea where he went."

"How can you not know?!" Kyuubi shouted as the temperature around her rises. "You were up all morning!"

"That may be true but I spent the entire time musing about how to annoy you in the morning." The female replied as she gave a wide grin.

"ARGH! I GIVE UP WITH YOU!" The fox Pokémon shouted before pouting and turning her back to the Eevee.

Dash's grin lessened to a faint smile as she mused out loud, "Though I believed he said he was going to explore the place a bit. . . Atsuko?"

Atsuko yawned before ruffling her feathers and giving a bright smile, "That he did and since he's going to be here for a while he should familiarize himself with the place."

Kyuubi turned back towards them with a slight frown before shrugging, "Exploring, huh? Whatever, I don't care. If he got lost then I'm not gonna go find him, got it?"

Dash rolled her eyes as the chick Pokémon sighed a bit. "Yeah, we figured as much."

---With Shun---

The white and red disaster Pokémon was currently exploring the place where Rescue Team BlackFire had found him unconscious.

"So this is where they found me huh?" Shun mumbled as he looked around and sniffed the air a bit. "Nothing. . ."

The dark Pokémon sighed a bit before lying down on the grass and resting his eyes a bit. "This feels nice. . ."

"That it does, doesn't it?" A familiar voice said from behind him making the Absol jump in surprise.

"Dash!" The male mumbled as the Eevee grinned, "Don't scare me like that! I thought that you were a wild Pokémon about to attack me!"

The evolution Pokémon chuckled a bit before looking at the sky, "Yeah, well, it's your fault for wandering off for so long."

Shun blinked a bit, "Long? What time is it now?"

"Oh, only around noon." Dash replied nonchalantly as the Absol's jaw seemed to have dropped in shock.

"Already?! Ack! We better get back now!" The male shouted panicking a bit before running towards the base.

Dash blinked a bit at the dust that was kicked up before smirking a bit, "For a human-turned-into-a-Pokémon, he runs as if he's been an Absol all his life. . ."

--Back at the Base---

Both Atsuko and Kyuubi were around the red mailbox looking through the mail when a white blur skidded past them kicking up more dust.

"I am sooo sorry! I had totally forgotten the time and then, when Dash reminded me, I came back here as fast as I could." Shun explained as he panted tiredly.

Atsuko and Kyuubi sweatdropped a bit before the chick Pokémon smiled at him. "It's alright, Shun. Nothing too important happened. By the way, where's Dash?"

". . ." The Absol blinked a bit before he realized that he ditched the Eevee and began to panic again, "Oh shoot! I think I ditched her! Oh fudge. . ."

The fire Pokémon's sweatdropped again and began to calm the dark Pokémon down when a faint squeal was heard.

Everyone paused and look around confused.

"Oro?" Kyuubi mumbled as question marks appeared around the three before they listened intently.

Silence for a moment and as everyone was about to continue what they were originally doing. . .

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

"Huh?"

Tackle!

"Oof!"

Thump!

"Owie. . ."

The disaster Pokémon laid on the ground, swirly-eyed and dizzy; as an annoyed Vulpix, a confused Torchic, and a hyper-active Eevee piled up on top.

"That was fun! Let's do it again!" Dash piped up happily before getting thrown off and onto the ground, with Atsuko landing on the Eevee's back, by Kyuubi. "Ow. . ."

"Idiot! Quit messing around! We've received a rescue mission so get ready, already!" The fox shouted annoyed but the Eevee just brushed her off.

"Relax, Kyuubi." Dash said as she dusted herself off and helped Atsuko back onto her feet. "Otherwise you'll get wrinkles and become an old Krabby."

Kyuubi twitched a bit as the other two sweatdropped at the now-arguing scene. (Oh boy. . .)

---After the Minor Argument---

"Err. . . what did the mail say?" The Absol asked the chick Pokémon who has the mail clutched in her talons.

"Huh? Oh! Um." Atsuko fumbled around with the mail again before placing it onto the ground.

The once arguing pair stopped and listened intently as the Torchic began to read outloud the content.

"BZZT! BZZT! WE NEED HELP! OUR TWO MAGNEMITE FRIENDS ARE STUCK TOGETHER BY AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE! BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO FORM MAGNETON! PLEASE SAVE THEM! THEY ARE STUCK AT THUNDERWAVE CAVE! BZZT! BZZT!"

"Okay. . . But did you really have to imitate the 'BZZT! BZZT!' part?" Kyuubi mumbled giving the other fire Pokémon a weird look.

Atsuko sweatdropped a bit before the Eevee grinned and wagged her tail. "BZZT! BZZT! I'm a Magnemite! That I am!"

The fox Pokémon twitched a bit as an anime vein appeared before turning and sulking a bit again.

"Um. . . There's a problem, you guys. . ." The Torchic mumbled as she sat on the ground.

"Oro?" Absol and Dash said as question marks appeared all around them. "What's the problem?"

"We can only bring three members at a time, remember?" Atsuko replied before sighing and picking up the mail again.

"Huh? Why's that?" Shun asked confused.

Dash sweatdropped a bit, "Because more than three members can cause a lot of noise thus disrupting the Pokémon in the area."

"That and because there may not be enough space for everyone to move about without making a lot of noise." Kyuubi added in as she finished sulking.

"So then. . . who's coming?" Shun asked as everyone began to think about the situation.

"I think I'll sit this one out." The Torchic said after several moments of silence.

"Eh?! Why?!" Dash exclaimed as anime tears cascaded down her face.

Atsuko sweatdropped as Kyuubi twitched again. "Um. . . Because one of us needs to sit out and I volunteered?"

The Eevee blinked a bit before pouting, "But then you'll be alone!"

The chick Pokémon smiled at Dashs' concern, "Don't worry, Dash. I'll be around the Pokémon Square. Besides, I need to check out some things."

The evolution Pokémon thought this over in her mind but nodded nonetheless, "Alright then. . ."

"Great!" Atsuko chirped before pushing them towards the direction of Thunderwave Cave. "By the way, you should get going now so save them Magnemite's!"

"RIGHT!!!" All three exclaimed before heading out.

---At the Entrance of Thunderwave Cave---

"BZZT! BZZT! YOU'RE FINALLY HERE." One of the two Magnemite's exclaimed.

"OUR FRIEND IS IN THERE! PLEASE SAVE THEM!" The other magnet Pokémon said as everyone nodded.

Both electric parted way as Team BlackFire entered the semi-lighted entrance.

"Man. . . I don't like this place." Kyuubi mumbled annoyed as her fur stood up a bit due to the static around them.

Meanwhile, Dash was rolling around laughing as her fur began to puff out a lot. "Wheeeee! This is fun!"

Shun sweatdropped and sighed a bit, "Only for you, Dash."

The Eevee stood up after hearing her name, "Huh? Said something, Shun?"

The Absol shook his head a bit, "Never mind."

Kyuubi, on the other hand, smacked the evolution Pokémon on the head. "Idiot! We need to find the two Magnemite's! Or did you forget our mission?!"

Dash sighed a bit before giving Kyuubi a look of slight annoyance. "No. I didn't forget. And since you're so grouchy right now, let's go already!"

With that, Dash bounded off as Absol sweatdropped and followed her before Kyuubi ran after them grumbling under her breath.

After several moments of running around, getting lost, arguing, and Dash stumbling over random rocks, the team found a hole leading to a lower level.

". . . Should we go down?" Shun asked peering into the hole getting his eyes adjusted to the darkness below.

Kyuubi frowned a bit, "We shouldn't. It's too dark and we might get ambushed."

Dash sighed a bit, "You guys stay here. I'll go down there."

"Eh?!" The two younger Pokémon exclaimed surprised. "But you're gonna get ambushed down there!"

The Eevee just stretched and yawned a bit, "Even if I did, I have enough experience with that to be able to get myself out of it."

The fox frowned again, "I bet you just want all of the credit!"

Shun sweatdropped again, "Um. . . I doubt it. . ."

Dash just flashed them a grin, "See ya!"

With that, she disappeared down into the hole. The other two crowded around the whole trying to see their comrade.

Silence for a moment as the two became a bit worried before a voice calmed them.

"I'm alright! Ow! Damn rock!" The childish voice of the female Eevee shouted annoyed before the sound of a small rock bouncing was heard. "Ha! Beat that!"

The other two sighed a bit before Kyuubi puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, "Idiot."

"Nuh-uh!" Came the reply making the other two peek into the hole again but this time they were able to see a faint outline of the Eevee.

A faint shuffling sound was heard as the two Pokémon saw Dash begin to walk in a direction. "Keep searching up there and if you find them, then leave the cave. I'll get out as soon as I finish searching down here, 'kay?"

The Vulpix nodded despite the fact that Dash couldn't see her as Shun replied, "Alright. Be careful though!"

"I'm always careful!" Came the cheerful reply before all three Pokémon head off in their search.

---With Dash---

The silver-white Eevee squinted her eyes trying to adjust to the darkness before sighing a bit. (How troublesome. . .)

Dash turned and looked around before sweatdropping. (I won't be able to tell where I already went down here since everywhere looks the same. . .)

The evolution Pokémon sighed a bit before closing her eyes. (Alright. Think Dash. What can I do to-oh! Duh! Man, I'm slow today. . .)

Dash walked over to the cavern wall and started to claw a simple crescent moon on it. (There! I should do this every few moments and at any forks in this place just in case. . .)

With that, the female shiny Pokémon began to walk down the dark path using her nose to see if she could pick up any unusual smell.

---With Shun and Kyuubi---

"See anything?" The fire fox asked as she turned towards the disaster Pokémon.

"No. Sorry. What about you?" Shun replied before sighing a bit when Kyuubi shook her head. "Nothing, huh?"

"I don't get it. We searched nearly everywhere so where are those Magnemite's?" The Vulpix mumbled as she plopped onto the ground gazing around tiredly.

The Absol shrugged before taking a look at the Rescue Team Badge remembering that morning.

---Flashback---

Shun popped a Pecha Berry into his mouth relishing the sweet taste when he heard the fire bird calling him. "Huh? Oh! G'morning Atsuko!"

The Torchic smiled at him before placing what looked like a white-and-pink egg with a pair of white wings on the table. "Here."

"Eh? What's this?" The Absol asked poking it a bit before looking at it weirdly. "It looks a bit girly. . ."

Atsuko was about to say something when a silver blur tackled him onto the ground. "Ow. . ."

"See! I told you that the Badge looked girly!" The evolution Pokémon exclaimed still sitting on the Absol's back.

"I know but it's not my fault that it's the official Rescue Team Badge!" The Torchic replied huffing a bit.

"Hm. . ." The Eevee mumbled before sighing. "Yeah. That's true. You weren't the one that chose it."

"Um. . . A bit heavy there, Dash." The small disaster Pokémon squeaked out from below Dash.

"Huh? Oh! Oops." The Eevee said getting off of him while laughing nervously. "Sorry 'bout that."

Shun sighed and breathed deeply before looking at the Badge. "What does the Badge do anyways?"

Atsuko sweatdropped a bit forgetting that Shun didn't know much about Rescue Teams. "All it really does is show that we're a Rescue Team. But it's said to have strange powers. . ."

Dash nodded in agreement, "Stuff like teleporting out of the dungeon-places or getting someone else out. It's like the Badges know when we want to leave or when we completed a mission, ya know?"

Shun had a look that said 'I don't believe you' which made the other two sweatdrop.

---End Flashback---

(If these Badges really do have these mystical powers, then why doesn't everyone get one? That way if someone's stuck they can just get out by themselves.) The Absol thought slightly annoyed.

"Those Badges are rare." The fire fox said softly making Shun blink and look at her in surprise.

"Your face says it all, idiot. So don't think I read your mind or something like that." Kyuubi mumbled before sighing. "I should know that expression. I thought like that too until Dash proved me otherwise. That was when I first joined the team and went on my first mission with them.

"Oh." The disaster Pokémon mumbled before a question popped up. "How did Dash and Atsuko formed a team together anyways? And how did you join them?"

The Vulpix was about to reply when a blur of yellow shot towards them. "What the-?!"

The two comrades jumped out of the way but Kyuubi was struck to the ground. "Nngh. . ."

"Kyuubi!" The Absol shouted worried as he rushed to the fox but she was out cold.

"One down, one more to go." A angered voice said from behind Shun making him turn around tensed.

A yellow Pokémon with black markings stood glaring at the two as electricity crackled from his body.

(An Elekid?!) Shun exclaimed in his head. (But there weren't any before!)

Suddenly the foe dashed towards the Absol in a blur of yellow but luckily Shun was able to dodge it but barely. (He's f-fast!)

The Elekid skidded to a halt before turning around as sparks of electricity crackled around his hand and arm.

"Thunderpunch!" The electric Pokémon shouted dashing at the disaster Pokémon.

Shun watched in fear as the foe approached and closed his eyes as he braced himself for the attack when-

"OH NO YOU DON'T!!"

Footsteps were heard approaching rapidly before the sound of two bodies colliding and then one hitting the ground hard was heard.

Shun opened one sapphire eye nervously before gaping at the silver Eevee standing protectively in front of him. "Dash!"

Without looking at the Absol, Dash began to charge at the electric Pokémon again. "Listen Shun! Take Kyuubi and get out of here now! I'll keep this guy busy! The two Magnemite's are already out! NOW GO!"

Shun hesitated but when Dash had landed a successive hit on Elekid, he nodded in response, grabbed Kyuubi, placed her on his back unsteadily, and began to run.

---With Dash---

The female Eevee skidded on the ground a bit as electricity ran through her making her wince in pain.

The Elekid began to run towards Dash as he readied his Thunderpunch attack but at the last moment the Eevee had managed to jumped out of the way.

Landing unsteadily, Dash turned around before closing her eyes as black energy began to form into a sphere in front of her.

The electric Pokémon stopped and stared in surprise as the orb fully formed.

A vibration pulsed through the air from Dash as she opened her eyes.

"Shadow Ball!"

The black blob shot towards the Elekid who tried to jump out of the way but was unsuccessful as he was thrown to the ground unconscious.

Dash breathed heavily before collapsing to the ground in exhaustion as an annoyed expression was formed. (Exactly why I barely use that move, it completely tires me out.)

"My legs feel like it's been turned to jelly. . ." The evolution Pokémon grumbled before sighing a bit as she closed her eyes.

However, they opened once more as a soft golden glow came from the badge that she now wore around a chained necklace. "Guess it's time to go, huh?"

---With Shun---

The disaster Pokémon paced around the entrance worried as he waited for Kyuubi to wake up and for Dash to return.

"Man oh man. Where is she?" Shun mumbled before sitting on the ground. "Maybe I shouldn't have left her alone in there. . ."

The four Magnemites, which had previously been rejoicing about the fact that their friends were okay, floated near the two members.

"BZZT BZZT! SHE'LL BE ALRIGHT! BZZT BZZT!" One said trying to comfort the young Absol as the other three nodded.

Shun was about to reply to that when a soft groan was heard from the fox Pokémon laying near them.

"Kyuubi! You're alright!" The Absol shouted happily as he jogged towards the Vulpix who yawned in response.

Looking sleepily around, the fox Pokémon got up and shook herself awake. "What happened?"

Shun's body seemed to have slouched a bit. "After that Elekid attacked us and knocked you out-"

"I WAS KNOCKED OUT?!" Kyuubi shouted as the temperature raised around her making the other Pokémon sweatdropped a bit.

"Um. . ." Shun mumbled as the Magnemite's huddled together. "Calm down, Kyuubi. . ."

The fox Pokémon huffed a bit before finally realizing that the Magnemite's were together again. "Eh? The mission's over?"

Shun nodded smiling a bit before question marks seemed to have appeared around Kyuubi. "Then where's Dash?"

The smile slowly turned into a from as he turned his gaze to the ground. "I don't know. . ."

"Don't know? What do you mean, 'don't know'?" Kyuubi demanded as she narrowed her eyes in confusion.

One of the Magnemite's floated in front of the fox Pokémon beginning to explain. "BZZT! YOUR FRIEND, DASH, SAVED MY FRIEND AND ME BEFORE GETTING US OUT AND RUNNING OFF SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT HER COMRADES BEING IN TROUBLE. THEN SHUN CAME OUT CARRYING YOU ON HIS BACK BUT THE EEVEE STILL HAS YET TO RETURN. BZZT!"

Kyuubi frowned a bit beginning to feel nervous. "Dash. . ."

"Someone said my name?"

Everyone jumped in surprised before looking at the entrance to see a golden light which faded to reveal the silver Eevee sitting there tired and a bit bruised up.

"Dash!" Shun exclaimed glomping the evolution Pokémon. "You're okay! By the way what was that light?"

"Yeah, I'm okay." Dash said before giving a grin. "And that light you saw, my friend, was the teleporting-thing the Badge provides."

(So then it's true?!?!?!) Shun thought as a boulder called realization fell on his head.

Kyuubi ignored the fact that Shun's jaw had practically dropped to the ground in shock and eyed the injuries on her silver companion. "You alright?"

The Eevee stood up and gave a slight nod, "Yeah but I'm beat. By the way, how are the Magnemite's doing?"

"Why don't you ask them yourself?" Shun said still in a daze and not realizing that the statement was a bit rude-sounding.

Dash blinked before shaking her head and grinning as the four magnet Pokémon floated in front of her. "Hey! Great to see you all together again!"

"BZZT BZZT! THANK YOU! BUT WE WOULDN'T BE TOGETHER IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU THREE! BZZT!" One said as the others bobbed a bit.

Dash's grin faded into a lazy smile. "No problem."

"After all, we're a rescue team." Kyuubi added in as she let the Eevee lean on her a bit.

Shun finally snapped out of his shock as he nodded and wagged his tail.

"BZZT! BY THE WAY!" One Magnemite started as the other three placed something on the ground. "HERE ARE YOUR REWARDS AND THANK YOU AGAIN. BZZT!"

With that, the four Magnemite's left to their homes.

Shun, who had the toolbox, blinked at the items left by the quadruple before holding up a seed. "What's this seed?"

Kyuubi sighed a bit before placing the said item into the now-opened toolbox. "That's a Reviver Seed. If you hold that and faint during a fight then you can be automatically revived."

Shun blinked a bit before giving an incredulous look. "That little seed can actually do that?!"

Dash nodded a bit as she walked a bit clumsily towards the other items on the ground. "Yeah but after it's used then it turns into a normal seed. By the way, put the Rawst Berry and the Poké into the toolbox for me, Kyuubi."

The fox nodded as Shun gave another confused look. "What are those?"

Kyuubi sighed annoyed before explaining and placing the items into the box. "A Rawst Berry cures burns when you rub it onto them and Poké are money that we, Pokémon, use.

The Absol let out a soft 'oh' before strapping the toolbox onto him again. "What do the other berries do then?"

Kyuubi grumbled under her breath and walked ahead as Dash chuckled a bit before explaining. "An Oran Berry, when eaten, completely rejuvenates you. A Pecha Berry, also eaten, will cure you of any and all poisons and a Cheri Berry will cure you of paralysis."

"Oh." Shun mumbled as everyone neared the team base. "But what does rejunavate mean?"

Dash grinned before running towards the base. "Think re-energizing!"

"I see. . ." Shun mumbled as he blinked a bit before realizing that the other two had ran off. "Hey! Wait for me!"

With that, Team Blackfire returned back to their base where Atsuko was waiting for them.

---Later that Night---

Shun laid in bed on his back gazing at window as the other three slept soundly. (Today was fun. . . if not dangerous.)

The disaster Pokémon turned onto his stomach as he gazed at his comrades and friends. (They're all really nice. . .)

Looking at the sleeping Torchic on her fire-designed bed he grinned a bit as he began thinking of descriptions for all of them.

(Atsuko the yellow Torchic. She's extremely nice and caring but I haven't spent much time with her to know anything else about her. . .)

Shun frowned a bit as he remembered that he didn't talk all that much with her. (Note to self: spend some time with Atsuko-sempai.)

The disaster Pokémon then gazed over to the Vulpix that laid on her red-and-gold bed.

(Kyuubi the red Vulpix. She seems to be a grump most of the time and doesn't seem to like Dash all that much but her heart is in the right place.)

Shun laid his head onto his paws as he looked at the last of the team on her black-with-silver-stars bed and grinned again.

(Dash the silver Eevee. The hyper-active leader who enjoys teasing Kyuubi but she knows when to be serious. . . I think. . .)

The dark Pokémon sweatdropped a bit before closing his eyes smiling as he began to drift off to dreamland. (But I'm really glad that I met them though. . .)

---Shun's First Dream---

Everywhere was a light foggy pastel color.

(Where. . . am I?)

His thoughts seemed to have echoed around.

(Hm? Is. . . someone there?)

An outline of a being appeared but it was too faint to see.

(Do I. . . know you?)

The outline began to fade.

(Wait! Who. . . are. . . you. . . ?)

Everywhere began to darken into blackness.

(Can't. . . see. . . anymore. Fading. . . away. So tired. . .)

---End Dream---

Shun awoke to someone shaking him gently. "Huh? Wha-?"

"Oh good! You're awake now!" A familiar voice said making him blink as his vision cleared.

"Oh! Good morning, Atsuko!" The disaster Pokémon greeted as he finally made out the fire chick's image.

Atsuko smiled at the Absol. "Yesterday must've tired you out so I let you sleep in but its one o'clock now, ya know!"

"What?! One?!" Shun exclaimed jumping out of bed in surprise. "I'm so sorry! I had completely overslept and-mmph!"

Atsuko had covered his mouth with one wing as she sighed a bit. "It's okay so relax already."

Shun sweatdropped and gave a sheepish grin. "Sorry 'bout that."

---Breakfast---

Shun bit into the Pecha Berry as his tail wagged happily. "Yummy!"

Atsuko smiled at the disaster Pokémon as she fixed up Dash's bed. "Glad you like it!"

Shun swallowed the rest before remembering his mental note. "Oh yeah. Hey Atsuko!"

"Huh? What's up?" The Torchic asked after fixing up the other three.

"Do we have any missions today?" The dark Pokémon questioned before drinking some of the water put out for him.

Atsuko put on a thinking face before shaking her head. "Nope. Why?"

Shun grinned at her. "Alright! Can we hang out today?"

The Torchic blinked a bit. "Hang out?"

"Yeah." The disaster Pokémon said as he nodded.

"I guess so. . ." Atsuko mumbled before smiling and nodding. "Yeah! Why not? I can show you the Pokémon Square!"

"Great!" Shun said as he began walking out before stopping as he realized something. "Hey. . . Where's the others?"

Atsuko blinked before smiling. "They went to train at the Makuhita Dojo which is also located at the Pokémon Square so we'll visit them later, kay?"

Shun nodded grinning again before the two started to walk towards the direction of the Square.
