Before anyone begins to read, I have a few things to say:

First up, thank you Blitzer Boy for the review.

Next, for Peach the Hedgehog, the reason for naming my rescue team, Chaotix both on my came and for this story is simple: I couldn't think of anything else. Besides, a lot of pokemon resemble other video game characters, so I couldn't resist having my own Pokemon version of Team Chaotix. They happen to be my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog characters because they're like the Three Stooges almost.

Here's the breakdown of the supporting cast who help Sam the Treecko out in this story. This is for those who don't know about Team Chaotix:

Vector: The namesake for the Totodile in this story. Vector the Crocodile of the Sonic the Hedgehog series is a loud-mouthed crocodile who wears a pair of headphones and a gold chain ecklace. You can see by the headphones, he loves music. Being a crocodile, he's very strong, has powerful jaws, is an excellent swimmer, and is deceptivly intelligent... most of the time. Vector at times tends to make an idiot of himself, but that never stops him from getting the job done. Like the Totodile in this story, Vector dreams to be the world's greatest detective, like how the Totodile verson wants to run the greatest pokemon rescue team. Vector has a charitable nature, and often does charity work if the team can't find a paying job.

Espio: Espio ias a chameleon, like how Kecleon is a chameleon pokemon. Espio has a very serious nature, which is because he was trained to be a ninja since he was a child. Needless to say, being a ninja suits a chameleon perfectly if you look how a normal chameleon operates. Espio has a number of throwing stars called shurikens hidden in his gloves, which he uses to strike distant foes. Espio is very cautious. This is because of Vector's occasional stupidity combined with his ninja insticts. The Kecleon version of Espio is very much the same way, and in this chapter, he earns the same gloves and boots the real Espio wears.

Charmy: Charmy at first glance may seem to young to be a detective in the Sonic series, or a rescue worker in my fanfic, but he does his job well. He's very excitable and often causes trouble for the others. He get's on Vector's nerves a lot, especially when he does something Vector doesn't approve of. Sometimes, Charmy bugs Vector intentionally when bored so he can do something which usually results in Vector chasing Charmy out of the house screaming all sorts of things at Charmy. However, even a kid like Charmy has a serious side, and when angered, he let's bad guys have it with his stinger. Play Sonic Heroes and watch the ending to Team Chaotix's story to see what I mean. In the fanfic, Charmy starts out as a Weedle to help support the fact he's a kid. Now that he's a Kakuna, he's anxious to become a Beedrill.

Mighty: One of Sega's obscured characters. Mighty isn't seen anymore in the Sonic series since his creator retired, and took Mighty into retirement with him years ago. Needless to say, many fans were upset. Mighty was an armadillo in the Sonic series, and was very strong. If one could measure this sort of thing, they say Mighty's strength is as incredible as Sonic's speed. In fact, he's stronger than both Vector and Knuckles combined! However, he is also a very kind person who wouldn't even hurt a fly with his strength. Of course, being such a nice guy means he can't stand evil and of course that means he has no problem beatng the crap out of a bad guy. The pokemon version of Mighty is a Cubone. The reason for this was is that a Cubone was the closest thing to an armadillo I could find. Plus Cubone and Marowak are pretty strong, so having a Cubone as Mighty works well in that regard.

One final note, this chapter isn't particularly interesting other than the battle towards the end. The reason for that is the main story sequences in the game are done after completeing a few of the optional missions you take to get further in the game. Besides, I had to fit the first dream sequence into the story somehow. Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter 3: Strange Dreams

That night, I had an odd dream. I was surrounded by a bright green light, and I heard voices. "Huh? Who's there?" I called out. I couldn't hear quite what the voices were saying, but I heard the words "Chosen one" muttered by a female voice. I then woke up. The time was 7:30 A.M., and I was wide awake and perfectly refreshed unlike the other day. I left my room to get ready for todays job. After eating a couple of Oran berries, I was ready to get to work. Mighty came up to me and said, "Oh, good morning Sam. Your up early today." I then said, "Yeah, yesterday I didn't get much sleep after the excitment from the day before. Must've been still tired after you guys found me."

Mighty then said, "Speaking of which, why did you say you were human? And why do you wear human clothes?" I was about to answere when Espio came in with a handful of letters. He said, "Ok, here's the missions for today. We have two lost pokemon in Tiny Woods, and a male Nidoran wants someone to help him meet his girlfriend in Thunderwave Cave. Also, an Elekid wants a delivery of ten Oran berries, which are commonly found in the Tiny Woods." Mighty and I forgot about our discussion for now, and I asked, "Where's Vector and Charmy?" Espio then said, "They left to get supplies for today's missions. They even went and got a spare toolbox as we're splitting up to take on all the missions at once."

At that moment, Vector and Charmy came in with the new toolbox in hand. Vector then said, "Everyone ready?" I watched as Espio put on a pair of ninja gloves and boots, which honestly looked strange on a Keckleon. If Kecleon had a yellow horn on their faces, then Espio would look just like his namesake. He said, "My father and uncle found these gloves and boots at an abandoned human home while searching for goods to sell at their store in town. They decided that I should have them, though I don't know how the gloves will fit..." I then said, "Say, you could use those gloves to store those little stars that ninjas use."

Note: I know they're called Shurikens.

Espio smiled, then said, "We don't have those here but they do sell these metal spikes which are used as tools, and sometimes for attack. I'll go buy a bundle and take your advice on that." Charmy then said, "Already covered. Look in the new toolbox Espy." Espio looked inside and found a bundle of fifty sharp silver-colored spikes. Espio took about ten of them and slid them into the cuff of his left glove. We then broke out into teams of two, leaving me to look after the place while they were gone. I didn't mind at all. I heard that a training center was opening in town and I decided to check it out. But when I got there, a Makuhita said, "Sorry, we're not open yet." I then said, "Dang, I wanted to train." The Makuhita saw my determination and said, "Well, if you wish to have a practice battle, I can help you! Follow me." I was excited about this as Makuhita were pretty strong, and I was anxious for a good challenge.

We came to a clearing, and he said, "Once either of the two of us are unable to battle, the battle ends! Let's begin!" Makuhita rushed in quickly with arms outstretched. I recognized this as the Fake Out move. I quickly jumped and did a frontwards flip to bring my tail down with a Pound attack. This manuver caught Makuhita off gaurd, but he caught me and used Vital Throw, tossing me into a tree. I climbed up it quickly as I began jumping down to deliver quick, unseen attacks from the trees. I used Makuhita's bulk to bounce from him back into the trees as I attacked. I knew he'd anticipate my next move if I were to do that again, so after my last Pound, I landed, and tried to simply swing my tail into him to knock him off balance. Makuhita dodged my attack, then used his Arm Thrust attack. As the mini Sumo Wrestler's arms flew at me, I sidestepped each move. Finally, something clicked into my mind. Something told me to open my mouth and take a deep breath. As I did, I saw a green glow shine from my mouth as another glow appeared around Makuhita. Then, a number of small green orbs flew away from Makuhita, inflicting pain as the orbs shot into my mouth, healing the pain I got from the Vital Throw from before. I then knew what the move was: I just learned Absorb! My first grass type move was now available!

While Makuhita was reeling from the Absorb, I rushed in with a Quick Attack, and KO'd Makuhita! Makuhita then said, "Not bad." He said upon getting back up, "Not bad at all. I await to see how you take on the challenges of the Makuhita Dojo when the construction is complete." I went back home and saw the others came back, and there was a considerable amount of money on the table. I also noticed Charmy was finally a Beedrill too, and he was wearing his new pilot's helmet and vest. Aside from some obvious details, he now looked just like the Charmy from the Sonic series. I told them about my day, and how I learned Absorb. It was an exhausting day, so I decided to get some rest.

To be continued...
