Hikari's Team Torchwood

Well, Disaster got it's first review, so I'm happy. We start the Skarmory Arc, and I might make a small One-Shot later. If I'm not too lazy. Well, gotta hurry up 'n work on this so I can edit Disaster, and work on Quest's next chapter, along with working on the first chappie of a couple fanfics that will never see the light of day (cuz I am EVIL). Well, enough of my rambelings, on with the Disclaimer!

"Hey, Piro, I've been thinking..."

"Isn't there a law about that?"

"Don't you think there might be more to life than games?"

"You mean like getting a job, finding a girlfriend, and going up the ladder of sucess?"

"Yeah."

"Wasn't there a Sim game about that?"

"Yeah. It sucked."

" 'Nuff said."

Chapter Four: Voices and Dreams

It's that dream again...Where am I?...It's that voice again...It's louder this time, but I still can't understand what's being said...Oh no! The ground is shaking!

My eyes snapped open, and I quickly sat up and shook my head. I sighed wistfully. The way the ground shook in that dream...it felt so real...And I think I had a dream like that before...Or did I just dream the same dream over again in one night? I don't know, but it's kind of scary... My brows tightened at the fact that I couldn't remember such a simple fact...And then I heard another voice.

"Excuse me! I need some help!" I heard a voice say. I searched for the source, but found none. "Please! My son Takeshi was whisked away to Mount Steel!"

"Who are you, and why can't I see you?" I asked questioningly, keeping my eyes peeled for the mystery person.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I forgot to resurface." The voice said, before a hole appeared in the middle of my house, and a Dugtrio popped out from said hole. I took a step back, surprised even though I had tried to expect anything.

"Please! You must help my son Takeshi!" The Dugtrio cried before heading back underground. I sweatdropped.

"That was...very random..." I muttered before heading outside to check the mail box, thinking about yesterday and grinning as I remembered the fact that I had finally gotten Ember. Shinji was waiting for me again.

"You're late by about ten minutes." The purple Treecko said, the piece of grass in his mouth twitching at a faster pace than usual. I sweatdropped.

"Since when was there a set time? And for the record, I came out later than usual because I was delayed by a Dugtrio that gave us another mission." I said in an annoyed tone. Shinji smirked.

"A new mission? Well this should be interesting. Where is it?"

"Mount Steel. We have to Rescue a Diglett named Takeshi." I replied, and I hint of recognization flashed over Shinji's face. "What, you know this Takeshi?" Shinji nodded.

"He's one of Satoshi's buddies. He helps out at the Storage Building and Riolu's Dojo. Riolu's Dojo is open now, I checked. We'll go there after the mission is done, I suppose."

"Yes! Takeshi is one of Satoshi's friends, Shinji!" The voice of the Dugtrio said, and I once again looked for the source of the voice only to assume that he was underground again. Speak of the devil, said Dugtrio popped up in the space between Shinji and I. "Takeshi is indeed on Mount Steel's Summit! You must Rescue him, or your Rescue Team's name will be forever ingraved in shame!" I sweatdropped as the odd Dugtrio retreated back underground. Shinji sighed.

"Slate is always like that. Annoying as hell and the misuser of words. Let's head off to Mount Steel. We don't want our Team's name to be forever ingraved in shame, now do we?" The Treecko snickered, before walking down the path to the mountain that we were to Rescue the Diglett from. I followed behind, not noticing the feline eyes in the bushes until I was pounced on by the pink and brown Skitty.

"Trying to abandon me again, ain'tcha?" May said, grinning evilly. "Well, my little Torchic friend, if I do not go, then neither do you!" By this time, Shinji had stopped walking and had turned around to see the ruckus that was happening behind him. The Treecko rolled his eyes.

"If you really want to come with us, then come, but don't slow us down. And don't injure Hikari. We need as little wounds as possible to get all the way to Mount Steel's Summit." Shinji headed off in the direction of the mountain, and May got off of me, using her tail to get me off of my back since my arms were too puny to get myself off of the ground without assistance. We walked for about four hours before finally reaching the base of the mountain.

"Well, here we are!" May said, grinning widely.

"Yes! Here you are! And Shinji, you are a rude little snot!" The three of us sweatdropped as the Dugtrio popped out of the ground yet again. "Talking about people behind their backs! How rude! Now, if you would be so kind, my son is still trapped on the Summit of this mountain, which is floor number nine! Now go save my son from that blasted Skarmory, or your names shall be detested for your cowardice!" The Dugtrio went under the ground, and the three of us sweatdropped yet again before entering the mountain.

It seemed that Shinji had emptied the supply box except for a few Oran Berries, Apples, and Reviver Seeds so we'd have more room for items. As we treked to the stairs, I picked up several items and managed to defeat a few Aipom and Buneary. We went up the stairs to the next floor, and were lucky enough to pop up into a room filled with items and a nearby pair of stairs which we took after we had gathered the items. We weren't very lucky on the third floor, however, since we went all around the floor just to find out that the stair room was next to the one we had came out of, and that we had chosen the wrong direction.

The fourth floor was fairly easy. There were some Zigzagoon and Aron, but I defeated the Aron with my Ember and Shinji took out the Zigzagoon. May also managed to be defeated in this room, taking one our Reviver Seeds so that we only had one left. Shinji was annoyed. I saw my first Orbs on this floor, as well. May explained Orbs to me, telling me most of the basic common Orbs and a few of the Rare ones. One the fifth floor, we stopped for a break and each had an Apple before continuing on the quest to the final floor.

On the sixth floor, May was defeated again, and took our last Reviver Seed with her. Shinji yelled at her, and I threw an Ember at Shinji in defence of May, which he countered with a Razor Leaf. May broke the both of us up with Shock Wave, and I had to eat an Oran Berry because I didn't have as strong as a resistance to electrical attacks like Shinji did. We headed up to the seventh floor and were ambushed by a team of three Scyther. May and I had no problem, since I was a fire type and May had that awesome Shock Wave attack. Shinji, on the hand, did have a problem, and had to be saved by my Ember. I did a victory dance because I got to save Shinji. He Razor Leafed me. I fireballed him. May had to Shock Wave us again.

I ate an Oran berry as we headed up to the second to last floor, wondering why a Skarmory would kidnap a Diglett, and how it even managed to pick the burrowing Pokemon up. We finally reached the stairs, and headed up to the Summit.

"Oi, Takeshi! Where are you?" May shouted.

"May? Is that you? I'm over here!" A voice shouted. I spotted the Diglett and headed over to save him. Or I would have, had there not of been this huge canyon in the way. May ran over to the canyon, while Shinji calmly walked over.

"Wow! It's huge!" May exclaimed. I nodded in agreement.

"I can't even see the bottom!" I said, peering over. "I wonder how far down it goes?"

"Only one way to find out." Shinji said, smirking. "Well, unless you feel like commiting suicide, that is." And with that, he hacked some spit over the cliff.

"Nasty!" May whined, and I whined right with her.

"Yeah!"

"Meh. Shut up and listen." Shinji said, listening for the splat sound that was going to come. I think we waited for about thirty seconds before we heard it.

"Woah." Was all that May could say. Hey, that rhymed!

"That's a long way down." I said. Shinji nodded in agreement.

"Um..hello? I don't know if you've noticed me or not, but...CAN YOU GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE AND SAVE ME?!" The Diglett screeched.

"Well, we would come over there and save you, but there's just this canyon that's in the way. Obviously." Shinji said blandly.

"Aye. And now you have one more problem to take care of." A voice said from above. It was a Skarmory.

"I am Lord Potato, and you are trespassing on my land!" The Skarmory declaired. There was a definete quite, with the only sound being the cricket Pokemon making their mating call (Or was that a weather forecast?) in the background before May and I burst out laughing and Shinji was trying as hard as possible not to do the same but failing.

"W-w-what k-k-k-inda name is L-l-lord Po-po-po-tato!" I chriped, laughing like a maniac. Lord Potato glared at us.

"I'll have you know that that was my father's name!" The Skarmory proclaimed. After a while, we finally recovered from our laughing fit.

"So, Lord Potato, can we have Takeshi back?" May asked, smiling.

"No." Lord Potato said flatly.

"What? Why not?" I whined.

"He is my supper. But if you want him back, I could eat one of you instead." The Skarmory said, smiling. I sweatdropped.

"I think not." May and I replied blandly yet simutaniously. Shinji stepped forward, arms crossed.

"Listen here, Vegitable Boy. We will battle you for Takeshi. If you win, you eat him. If we win, Takeshi comes back with us." Shinji bargained. Lord Potato glared at Shinji before thinking it over, while in the background Takeshi looked utterly horrified.

"Shinji! We can't do that!" I said.

"Well would you like to be Skarmory food instead?" The purple Treecko shot back. I frowned before shaking my head no.

"Very well. I shall partake in this battle over the Diglett." The Skarmory agreed, nodding his head. We stood there for a while, waiting for someone else to make the first move. We didn't have to wait long, however. Shinji had gotten impatient and had thrown a Quick Attack at the Skarmory, followed by a Razor Leaf. I charged in next, sending a fireball at the large Steel bird, which flew up after it realized it was going to be attacked again. May hit the bird with a Shock Wave, but it only slightly irritated the Steel flyer.

Lord Potato dove down at Shinji with a Wing Attack, and I shot an Ember at the bird as it came down and it scorched Potato's wing, causing him to recoil in pain and fly back up. Potato redirected it's attack at me, while Shinji and May hit the Skarmory with Razor Leaf and Shock Wave. The bird screeched in pain, and sent a Steel Wing at May many times, which caused the Skitty to return back to her home. Now it was just Shinji and me.

Shinji Razor Leafed the Skarmory as I Embered it, but it dodged and aimed at Shinji with a Wing Attack. While it had it's back to me, I aimed another Ember at it and it hit. Unfortunetly, this caused the bird to slam into Shinji. Shinji kicked the Skarmory off and shot a glare at me. I sweatdropped. We didn't have time to be annoyed at each other, as Lord Potato was up again and was going to Steel Wing me. I shot an Ember at his face, while Shinji shot a Razor Leaf at his back. The combined attacks caused the flying type to hit the ground and pass out for a few seconds.

"Well, it looks like you have won. Take your friend back. I guess I'll just look for food elsewhere. By the way, can I join your Team?" The Skarmory asked. I looked over at Shinji, who was thinking it over. Shinji eventually nodded and the Skarmory almost hugged Shinji but Takeshi interupted.

" 'Cuse me, but is there any way that you could save me?" the Digglet asked, looking like it was about to beat something to a pulp. The three of us sighed.

"Can you go get him, Potato?" I asked. The steel bird shook his head.

"Negative, Madame Torchic. The battle roughed me up quite a bit. I won't be able to fly for a few hours because of the burns." The Skarmory replied.

"BZZT BZZT BZZT HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HELP BUT BZZT BZZT BZZT WE CAN!!" A voice said. We looked behind us to see two Magnemite. "BZZT BZZT BZZT WE SHALL HELP BZZT BZZT BZZT!!" And so the Magnemite flew over the large canyon and took the Diglett back over.

"Thank you, y'all." Takeshi said, before burrowing back home.

"Odd." Was all I said.

"Very." Potato agreed. We headed back home, and Slate gave us 500 Poke before taking his son back home. The Magnemite remained, as did Potato since he was now part of the team. We all stood there for a while doing nothing.

"Listen, Magnemite, do you want to join Team TorchWood?" Shinji asked.

"BZZ BZZ BZZ WHY DO YOU ASK BZZ BZZ BZZ" The Magnemite asked. Shinji sighed and closed his eyes for a few seconds before reopening them.

"Look, as much as I hate to admit it, we couldn't have compleated this mission without you and it'd be easier if you were there to help us again." Shinji explained. The Magnemite thought it over.

"BZZT BZZT BZZT WE WOULD LOVE TO, BUT DO YOU HAVE A PLCE WHERE WE COULD STAY BZZT BZZT BZZT" The Magnemite asked.

"Hikari's house?" Shinji asked.

"Say WHAT? No! They'll stay at YOUR house, Shinji!" I screeched at the Treecko. Potato and the Magnemite sweatdropped.

"I'll take that as a no." Potato said, laughing. "It doesn't bother me if I have to sleep outside in Shinji's yard for a while, but I don't know about you two Magnemite."

"BZZT BZZT BZZT HAVE NO FEAR, WHENEVER YOU NEED US WE SHALL BE NEAR, BUT TRY TO GET A PLACE FOR US TO STAY BZZT BZZT BZZT" The Mangemite said befor the pair flew away. Shinji glared at me.

"Nice going, loser." Shinji said. Potato rolled his eyes and went into Shinji's house. I fumed.

"So? What makes you think I want them there? Besides, I'm a fire Pokemon and they were steel Pokemon. There would be lots of clashes." I shot back. Shinji looked at me before smirking.

"Yeah, whatever. By the way, didn't you say when I first met you that you were Human?" Shinji asked. I thought back, and saw that I did say that.

"Yeah, what of it?" I asked. Shinji crossed his arms and leaned against the mail box.

"Don't you want to go back?" I thought this over for a few minutes.

"I...don't know." I replied, looking at my feet. Shinji smirked, I could tell.

"Well, I guess you wouldn't want to go back. After all, you want to spend more time with me, right?" My head shot up.

"And just what do you mean by that?" I asked. Shinji's smirk grew bigger, and he started to walk over to his house.

"Oi! Tell me what you mean, you ass!" I shouted, running after him. He ignored me and shut the door to his house in my face, and I glared at the door before walking back over to my house and plopping down on my bed to think again.

Chapter four is now compleate! Took a bit longer than expected, but it was worth it, right? It took me four hours to write this chapter. My hands hurt, I'm hungry, and I want a Dr. Pepper but I'm too lazt to go down to the basement to go get one. I went shopping for four hours today Oo and got some socks, a dvd, some other clothes, and Lost Magic for the Nintendo Ds. I haven't gotten all that far in it, but it's pretty good. I've already died like three times. Anyways, next chapter we head on down to the Dojo and we meet Kasumi and her sisters, along with Shiftry's team (Who need names) and Alakazam's team before heading off for some missons. I'm pretty far on my PMD Blue. I've gotten to the Jumpluff stuff. Well, I'm logging off. Toodles.

Wait.What

P.S.: One: Review or be Destroyed. Two: Sumbit ideas for Shiftry's name. Three: Tell me what Team Galactic's leader's name is. I don't remember XD
