Hikari's Team TorchWood

I'm hyped up on caffiene, so this might be totally crack induced. But then again, when isn't any of my work crack induced? Even if I don't do crack, it's still crack induced! I ain't on crack! I'm on caffiene! Btw, did you know that caffiene is actually a drug? -gasp- Anyways, I was browsing one of my website's guestbooks the other day, and boy was I pissy afterwards. For starters, so lame-ass flamer had managed to link one of my old acounts to the site, and called me a whore because I couldn't write very well. And so, now I'm back to my original standing of where humans should die because they fire around unneeded comments, control others, lower other's ego's for their own amusement, and a whole bunch of other things. I mean, I may have been a newbie that totally sucked at wrighting and stuff, but seriously. That was a totally unneeded comment. And it was immature. I was a damn newbie at writing, and quite frankly, I sucked badly. I know that. But since then I have mainly improved. Well, I hope so. Anyways, school has been realy hectic, and updating other fics has kept me from this one. And I found a site, Anime-Eden, where you can download Anime and Manga, which I have been doing with a few series. I was bummed when I found out they didn't have Otogi Zoshi. But I managed to check out that Death Note series, and I want to read the other volumes.

Chapter Seven: Kasumi in Trouble! Piroko's Problem!

When I woke up that morning, Shinji wasn't waiting for me like usual. Instead, I was attacked by a Skitty that I had come to know as May. She looked like she had been crying recently, or she was just sick with something that made her eyes go blood-shot, made her face go redder than usual, make her nose drown the world in mucus, and made her sob uncontrolably. I'm pretty sure it was the first option. I frowned, wondering what could've happened to poor May. After all, it's not like she did anything wrong, and the only person in her house is...Drew! That jerk! What did he do to May?

"What did Drew do, May?" I asked, angry and worried. May looked at me like I was moronic. Shinji suddenly walked through the gate, and shoved the Skitty out of the way, which caused May to start crying again.

"Drew didn't do anything! It was me who was bad to Kasumi! I got into an arguement with her, and we both decided to go home by ourselves, and she hasn't come back!" May sobbed. I stood there, confused. May knew Kasumi? Shinji sighed.

"Did you go out and search for her?" He asked. May shook her head. Shinji sighed again, and a chuckle came from behind him.

"Aww, poor wittle Skitty. Did your widdle fwiend get wost?" A familar voice said.May turned around, angry, and Shinji and I walked up to the gate to see who it was. It was Mars! Cyrus and Jupiter were there, too. They all had their paws crossed over their chests, and were sporting a smug smirk.

"We'll find your friend, little Skitty, if you'll pay us." Jupiter said, her long tail swishing behind her. I looked over at May, who had an uncertain and worried look on her face.

"But, I have no money. I spent it all on supplies for missons yesterday." May replied, looking down at the ground. Cyrus's smirk grew bigger.

"Well then, I suppose you'll just have to join Team Galactic as payment." Cyrus said. May was horrified.

"But I'm already part of a Rescue Team!" May protested.

"Well, then. I suppose you'll have to quit." Mars sneered. Shinji scoffed.

"I've heard enoguh. You three losers aren't taking the misson, Hikari and I will." Shinji said, as he stopped leaning on the brick gate, his paws over his chest and chewing on a piece of grass. Cyrus scowled.

"Very well. We shall have a race, then." The Gengar said, smirking. My eyes grew wide.

"Wha? No, we're taking the misson!" I stuttered. Cyrus glared at me disapprovingly. I frowned.

"It doesn't matter who does the misson, just that it is done. Now, where is your friend located?" Cyrus asked May. May frowned, but told him anyways.

"She was lost in the Sinister Woods. We were pretty deep in, so i'd guess she'll be around the heart of the forest." May said unhappily. Cyrus gave a sly smile.

"Very well, then. The race will to be the first to find Kasumi. Whoever finds her first is the keeper of the Skitty." With that, the Gengar sunk into the earth, causing his two lackies to go into panic, before setting off to the SInister Woods themselves. I frowned. This wasn't good. If they won, what'd happen to May? Then I remembered something.

"Uh, Shinji?" The purple Treecko looked at me. "Weren't you going to beat them to a pulp the next time you saw them?" A look of realization crossed over Shinji's face, and he whacked his paw into his face.

"Damnit, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shinji muttered. I laughed nervously.

"Well, I thought you already knew. That, and I just remembered that myself." Shinji looked at me in disbelief, before slamming his paw into his face again. May and I sweatdropped. "Uh, right. Well, I'm gonna go buy supplies now!" I said, as cheerful as possible, before walking down the path to the Square. I heard Shinji sigh behind me, before he set off walking behind me. May also decided to come with us. Shinji and Jessie (or was it James? I can never tell those two Persain apart!) argued on the price of the supplies, until finally Jessie gave Shinji the price he wanted. The we headed to the Post Office. Now there was Escort missons. Shinji chose a few, and told May to go fill out the paperwork, which she actually agreed to. I guess May was taking the Kasumi thing pretty hard. I frowned and looked at the ground as we walked back to the Torchwood Base. I bumped into a Kelclon because of this. I started to apologize, but he wasn't paying any attention to me. Only the scene in front of me.

"Please, you must help my friend, Gary!" A Jumpluff pleaded. The Shiftry scoffed.

"Yeah right. The reward isn't good enough. Go find someone else." Gary sneered, crossing his leaf blades over his chest. The two Nuzleaf behind him nodded in agreement. I decided to name the oddly colored one Bob, and the normally colored one Bill. Bob stepped forward.

"Now, if you could raise the reward, Piroko, we could easily do the misson." Bob sneered in the Jumpluff's, Piroko, face. Piroko took a wary step backwards.

"What do you all think you are doing?" A voice from behind the Jumpluff boomed. Everyone turned to look at the one who had spoken. It was a Gallade. Behind him stood a Hippodwon and a Houndoom. Everyone gasped, even Shinji who was standing a few feet in front of me. Who were these guys? Many whispers followed. 'Look, it's Team Elite', 'Wow, is that really Nentou?', 'Moto is so cute!', 'Terra is awesome!'. Everyone seemed to know these guys. Shinji looked back at me. He had a we-gotta-beat-these-guys look on his face.

"Er, we were just helping out our friend Piroko!" Bill exclaimed. Gary nodded, while Bob stood there frozen.

"That isn't what it sounded like to me." The Hippodwon muttered. The Houndoom nodded.

"Aye. It sounded like all ye wanted to do was obtain a reward, Team Leaf." The Houndoom said. Gallade crossed his arms and looked at the rescue team in front of him.

"A Rescue team should always help one in need, not themselves." Gallade boomed. The nut Team shrunk back.

"Y-yes sir." Gary stuttered, before he and his team fled. The Gallade gave a sharp nod, and headed to the post office. As they walked by, people turned and stared. When Gallade walked by me, a look of shock came onto his face, and he stopped. Houndoom and Hippodwon stopped as well, a confused expression etched onto their faces. Gallade put his face into mine and examined it.

"You are not a normal Torchic, are you?" Gallade asked. I shook my head. A perplexed look crossed the psychic's face, before he stood up. "Very well, then. Moto, Terra, let's go." The hippo and canine nodded, and walked after their leader, but not without sparing me a glance.

"Uh, what was that all about?" I asked. Everyone stared in shock except for Shinji. "And who were those Pokemon?" Everyone minus Shinji face vaulted.

"You mean you don't know who they were?!" The Square screeched at me. I shook my head. A Gloom sighed.

"That was Team Elite. They're one of the best Teams around. They happen to be Gold rank. The only ones who are a higher rank that them are Team Waterleaf and Team Tohya. The Gallade's name is Nentou. He's the leader. Terra the Hippodwon is the co-vice president. Moto, the Houndoom, is the other co-vice president." The Gloom explained. I nodded, absorbing all the new information.

"What about those other Teams you mention? Waterlog and Tomya?" The Kelcon I had run into earlier sweatdropped.

"You don't know anything, do you?" It asked. I sweatdropped, remembering that shinji had once said that. I shook my head no."Team Waterleaf is run by Sanyo the Swampert and Kabuto the Magenium. They're pretty good, and started out after Team Elite. They're about Diamond rank. Team Tohya is run by Genero the Espeon and Logan the Pikachu. They started out after Team Elite as well, and even more after Team Waterleaf. They have Platinum rank. Team Tohya and Waterleaf have sort of a rivalry, but it helps them do better. Understand now?" I nodded. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a familar Skitty.

"Hey! I did the paperwork for the misson, Hikari!" May shouted. Everyone turned to stare at her. "Huh? Why you all starin' at me like that?" She whipped out a long stick with her tail. "Stay back, foul beasts!" I looked

over at Shinji, who was sweatdropping.

"Why did I let you talk me into letting her on the Team again?" Now it was my turn to sweatdrop.

Ah, the much anticipated update! I better get some reviews for this. It was sort of an ass to write.

Nentou - Japanese for Mind

Moto - I can't remember what language it was, but it means fire.

Terra - Latin for Earth

Genero - Latin for Create

Well, Wait.What signing out. Leave a review, or I'll be pissy and won't update for another month.
