A/N: Hello here we are with another chapter and thanks to my beta it will look like true writing.

Now we hope you enjoy this chapter. Plus I feel like we need to take a break from the main characters... so we have Team Chaotix

Also here's what currency is in this series, I will work on that later... right now don't question it...

B/N: And so we start somewhere completely new, this should be interesting!


At a certain headquarters...

Vector, Espio, and Charmy... they all have gotten older as Sonic and the others did. Charmy was a little more mature but still somewhat immature, his clothes have changed, wearing black sweatpants with an orange hoodie now.

"About a week ago, week ago... fuck with us when we tweaking ho..." Vector chimed singing lyrics to a rap song. He had beats on his head and he bobbed his head to the music.

Espio was sleeping on the couch. He just got done doing some ninja training. The chameleon was mumbling syllables quietly.

"Vector! Espio!"

Espio then turned himself invisible so he wouldn't have to deal with the bee so he could get some more sleep.

"Vector!"

Vector didn't hear the bee due to the beats he had... along with having his eyes closed.

Charmy then lifted the beats and yelled at Vector.

"Charmy what the hell!?" Vector snapped back.

"We got our pay right here!" The bee spoke holding an envelope. "See right here"

"Let me see that," Vector said taking out money bills. His eyes turned to money signs.

"Alright..." Vector mumbled. "Well we will split it up between each other... there's $75,000. So here's your $25,000," he handed some money to Charmy. "And mine... and... Espio!"

"Vector I'm trying to sleep," Espio groaned.

"Here's your pay that we got," Vector pushed some money at Espio, who opened his eyes.

"Thanks..." he said, deciding that sleep could wait. "But who's turn is it to pay the bills?" Espio asked.

"Charmy and I did it last time, so you do it," Vector noted.

"Roger that," Espio agreed, walking away.

"Vector... what can I spend it on?" Charmy the bee asked while flying around.

"I don't know but try not to spend all of it." Vector sighed.

"Why?" Charmy asked, cocking his head. "We worked hard for this money!"

"I know," Vector nodded. "But still... you need to save at least half of it for when we really need it."

"What about those beats and that damn golden chain of yours!" Charmy snapped.

"The beats were only one thing I bought... and the gold chain I had for a long time... geez," Vector rolled his eyes.

"Well what? Next what are you going to do, buy a hoodie?"

"Maybe..." Vector nodded slowly. "But what were you going to buy with your money?"

"I'm not sure..."

"Well... I got to go and go get Feraligatr her favorite food... I'll be right back" Vector spoke as he opened the door and left. Espio then came from the backroom after looking at the bills and fell back asleep on the couch.

"Espio"

"What Charmy?"

"What are you going to spend your money on?" The bee asked, still floating.

"I don't know... I guess maybe..." he murmured before shaking his head. "Look... I'm just going to save it and spend it on only stuff I need." Espio yawned, he was still tired.

"Well I'm going to go to the park and think on what I might spend money on!" Charmy declared, beginning to buzz away.

"Whatever... just don't be gone long!" Espio called back.

"I won't."

Charmy flew past Vector and out the front door. Vector continued walking and saw Espio laying on the couch.

"Hey where's Charmy going?" Vector questioned.

"He's going to the park"

"Oh, ok well I got Feraligatr her favorite food," Vector informed Espio. "All that's left is for her to eat it," Vector walked off to get Feraligatr.

"Alright I'm going to do some more ninja training with Greninja," Espio yawned.

Few minutes later...

"Charmy had been gone for a few minutes," Vector frowned. "I hope he didn't get into a fight or something..."

"I'll go look for him" Espio sighed.

...

"What should I buy?" Charmy hummed as he browsed through a shop. "I could buy some beats like Vector and a gold chain, but that damn thing is heavy how does his neck stay fine?"

Charmy saw something in the corner of his eye... it was a Pikachu! The Pikachu was dirty and appeared to not have been fed properly.

"Hey there little buddy," Charmy said, forgetting his possible purchases. "Where did you come from?"

"Pika?"

"Wow what kind of animal are you?"

"That is a pokemon," Espio said, suddenly appearing and causing Charmy to jump.

"Wait I never seen a Pikachu before! And this is really a Pokemon?"

"Yeah," Espio nodded. "There are over 800 different kinds of pokemon, possibly more! Not all of them have been discovered."

"Wow!" Charmy gasped, then hesitated, glancing to Pikachu. "Can... can he come live with us?"

Espio raised an eyebrow and glanced between the two. "Well... if Vector approves..."

The Pikachu came closer and hugged Charmy.

"I think he likes me!"

"Indeed. Alright, let's go and see if Vector will let you keep him."

The two walked back to headquarters.

They opened the door and saw Vector bobbing his head to some music he was listening too. He had his feet on his desk and his hands behind his head. He opened his eyes and stopped the music when he saw a dirty Pikachu.

"Hey boys, found a Pikachu I see," he was quite nonplussed about being interrupted.

"Yes, it looks abandoned with no owner... so Charmy here wants to keep him," Espio filled in.

"I see," Vector stated and looked to the nervous Charmy. "Are you sure he is responsible enough now?"

"Yes!" Charmy responded, giving a wave of his arms. "I am remember the time when I had to hold up the headquarters when you two were sick?"

"Indeed Vector," Espio nodded, taking Charmy's side. "Charmy is more mature and responsible than when he was what... basically a child?"

"I guess you are right," Vector nodded and then shrugged. "Alright. Go give the pokemon a bath."

Charmy gave a high-pitched gasp, but withheld any delighted bouncing around. Swallowing it to appear more mature, Charmy nodded. "I'm on it Vector!"

Then Vector's laptop had a video message. Vector opened it and saw Knuckles.

"Well if it isn't our old boy Knuckles," Vector chuckled

"Yeah I am here at a pokemon center in a forest. Sonic, Tails, Shadow, and Dakota are traveling along cause Sonic is taking on the gym leaders."

"How are all of the ones we know doing?" Espio asked.

"The ones you know... well Sonic is doing great his Pikachu has the potential to Mega Evolve."

The crocodile and chameleon's eyes went wide.

"How?" One of them gasped.

"Long story... Tails, he's a gym leader now but travelling with us, Shadow is being Shadow, and the best part is coming..."

The two leaned in.

"I am dating someone."

"Knuckles, you sly dog you," Vector laughed.

"Did she ask you out or did you ask her out?" Espio asked.

"She asked me out, dude let me tell you she is so damn hot... I could not stop staring at her when we were on our date."

"Hope you get lucky Knuckles... next time you two go on a date you should try to get lucky" Vector snickered.

"Wait, lucky? What do you mean by that?" Knuckles said raising an eye.

"You'll see soon enough."

"Vector," Espio sighed.

"Come on Espio I'm only joking," Vector stuck his tongue out at Espio, to the latter's disapproval.

"So where's Charmy?" Knuckles asked.

"He's bathing an abandoned Pikachu," Espio answered.

"Oh," Knuckles sounded, he didn't really know how to respond to that. "Well, hope he'll take care of it" Knuckles said.

"Oh he will trust me," Espio declared, nodding his head. "But hey tell your friends we said hey... "

"Knuckles!" Charmy said, having heard a new voice and coming back with soap suds all over him.

"Hey there, dude, you look older than the last time I saw you!" Knuckles chuckled.

"Yeah so do you!" Charmy replied.

"Hey I didn't mean that in a bad way," Knuckles waved him down.

Charmy didn't even register it. "Look at my Pikachu!" He pulled a rather damp Pikachu up into view.

"Nice," Knuckles said, peering in close. "Though Sonic's is most likely stronger."

"I don't care!" Charmy rolled his eyes. "My Pikachu is still the best!" Charmy retorted holding Pikachu tighter."

"Well I got to go... the crew is leaving tomorrow and we are going to bed." Knuckles waved.

"Alright buddy... be sure to visit us sometime," Vector said, giving a small wave back.

"Alright then," the call ended.

"So now it is getting late" Espio yawned.

"Yeah boys, we need to get some sleep."

"Okay! C'mon Pikachu" Charmy said as he went to his room and shut the door."

"Charmy! Brush your teeth!" Vector said.

"I will! I will!" Charmy yelled back.

"I'm going to drift off as well, see you tomorrow Vector," Espio yawned, there wasn't enough naps in the world that would stop him from bed at night.

"Night Espio," Vector said. His computer suddenly beeped and he turned to it with surprise. "What? Another message?"

Vector clicked on the envelope on the screen and saw a blue hedgehog.

"Sonic? Vector spluttered before noticing something. "Wait... you aren't Sonic."

"Are you Vector of Team Chaotix?" Came a clear voice that was not Sonic.

"Yes. Are you Sonic's girlfriend or something?" Vector gave a sharkish grin, he had a feeling this would piss her off.

"NO! Arceus Dammit!" Dakota cursed and Vector laughed.

"Okay, miss calm down"

"Look, I just want to thank you for helping me before."

"I'm sorry you lost me," Vector shyly said. He actually had a slight crush on Dakota.

"Well..." Dakota hesitated but quickly continued. "I remember when you helped me out... your team helped cure my Riachu from a disease that almost killed her... I don't know what would I have done if I lost her."

"I remember now," Vector nodded, he already had a feeling on who it was, but confirmation was nice. "You were the cute hedgehog who me and the others helped out... Glad to hear your Raichu is doing well."

"Thanks," Dakota smiled. "So..."

'Wow, he's handsome," Dakota thought to herself while her mouth continued to make the so sound. 'I would like to know him better.'

"Would you like to hangout sometime whenever we meet again?"

"Sure," Vector nodded, hoping to everything that his tongue wouldn't twist and he's say something stupid. "Why not... so when do you want to do this?"

"Well, Sonic and the others have to travel through the city you guys are at, to get his Gym Badge after the one he is going for right now."

"Okay," Vector nodded and his tongue moved too quickly. "But one question, why do you want to hangout with us?"

"Well..." Dakota blushed some more. "I would like to get to know you better."

"No worries then," Vector grinned. "Well I got to get some sleep so see ya."

"Bye!" Dakota waved.

"Ooooh!"

"Dammit!" Vector jumped, he had not expected any sudden noises. "Oh Charmy it's you." Vector growled. "Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"Ooooh," Charmy sung again. "You have a date!"

"No," Vector shook his head quite rapidly. "No it's not a date we are just going to hangout together. Probably with the whole team..." he trailed off into mutters and Charmy pressed on.

"So you like her?"

"No! Vector snapped. "Maybe... a little... look just go back to bed."

"Okay I already got me something to drink so bye," Charmy beamed and flew off.

Vector walked to his room and plopped onto the bed and soon fell asleep.

The next day.

Espio was the first one to get up. He sat up in his bed and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Whoever was the first up has to make breakfast, since Espio was the first up he was obligated to make breakfast.

Vector was hanging over his bed face on the ground and his lower body under his covers. He snored loudly that Espio could hear it. Espio knocked on the door and Vector snorted.

"Wha... what the... who, what, when?"

"Vector," Espio called. "C'mon man get up, I can hear your snoring out here," Espio called from the door.

"Alright give me five minutes," he groaned.

Espio knocked on Charmy's bedroom door and it slammed open throwing Espio into some boxes.

"I'm up!" He shouted. "I was thinking of nicknames for a male Pikachu," he declared, with the Pikachu stumbling below him still tired.

"You know you could have opened the door slowly instead of all crazy like that?" Espio muttered, picking himself out of the boxes.

"I thought of Volt, Bolt, Denzi, Thundaga..." Charmy went on.

"Denzi" Vector said, having followed the sound of the noise.

They stared at him for a blank second.

"Well it sounded fitting for your first pokemon..." Vector muttered.

"I know right!" Charmy beamed.

"Well then we should get him into a Pokeball," Espio said.

"A what, Espio?"

"Pokeball, a red and white capsule that let's you carry pokemon inside them... where do you think I keep Feraligatr?" Vector chuckled.

"You have seen the show right?" Espio questioned.

"Of course! I'll go get the one Professor Pickle gave me"

Charmy left then returned with the pokeball. He tapped Denzi with it and he went right into the ball.

"I caught him!"

"Wait the ball has to shake three times"

After the ball shook three times, Charmy picked it up and threw it and Denzi popped out. Charmy gave Denzi an apple and the Pikachu's eyes lit up.

Denzi began to eat, but before Espio could make any real progress on breakfast, they were interrupted.

"Vector!" A newcomer shouted, bursting into their headquarters.

"Huh?" Vector said intelligently.

"Some thugs outside are stealing Chao and Pokemon!" The newcomer hedgehog said, panting for breath as he tried to talk more.

"Were on it! Boy's let's go!"

"Roger!" Espio responded, forgetting about what he had already prepared in the oven.

The three bolted out the door and into the city. They looked around for any unusual behavior. They saw some men walk towards an alley with a Mudkip in a cage along with two Chao.

"Quiet boys," Vector muttered, waving his companions down. "We need to follow them and see if they have a hideout!"

"How about I go invisible and sneak past them and asses the situation from up close then I can lead you guys into the place without getting caught?" Espio whispered.

"Nice thinking Espio!"

"Alright I'm off" Espio put his hands together and vanished.

Espio ran to the alley and scuffled against a wall to lean in and see around the corner. As soon as he did he saw someone disappear around another corner. He ran with silent footsteps and saw them go behind a secret door that closed back with a lock pad. Espio tapped the communicator on his wrist and Vector picked up.

"What do you see Espio?"

"They disappeared behind a secret door and there's a pad that unlocks the door"

"Alright! We coming in"

"Ready? Denzi?" Charmy asked.

"Pika!"

"Alright then" Vector said bolting off with Charmy and Denzi following behind.

They met Espio at the hidden door.

"Well looks like I'm going to have to break it with force!"

"What if we draw too much attention?" Charmy asked.

"Well it wouldn't be the first! Alright get ready guys... these thugs look tough"

Vector stepped back and threw his fist at the door and broke it down. Then they hid against the wall beside the door and two Alligators appeared from the hallway of the broken door. Vector then grabbed the two by the neck and slammed them into each other. Vector stomped on them both causing them to spit up blood.

"Alright let's go... "

"Alright Vector let me go further ahead with my invisibility," Espio asked, preparing to go invisible.

"Sure."

Espio once again vanished and with his quiet footsteps he ran forward and stopped to see pokemon in cages and Chao in cages. Vector and the others came up behind Espio and were shocked.

"Damn... they made off with so many Pokemon and Chao... we got in easy... too easy" Vector whispered looking around.

"Hey! That's Cream's Chao!"

"Where?" Espio asked, alerted.

"There!" Vector pointed. You see the red bow on it."

"You're right!"

Before they could do anything else two thugs appeared from boxes and fired their guns. Espio threw ninja stars at the bullets and they flew in a different direction.

"Go guys!" Vector yelled.

"Take this!" Espio disappeared and sucker punched one of the men holding guns. Vector threw a metal chunk at the other knocking him out.

"Take this you bad man!" Charmy said stinging them right in the face with his stinger.

"Damn bee!"

Charmy then swept the dude by kicking his legs. Charmy kneed the dude in the stomach.

Vector was jumped by two buff men. Vector took both of them and threw them in the air and when they came back down he punched them both back up and when they came back down Vector then punched them back up once more and then they fell in the floor.

"Espio!"

"Roger Vector!" Espio then vanished and threw ninja stars at everyone and got them stuck into the wall.

"Well boy's why don't we get the pokemon and Chao back to their owners or the wild?" Vector asked. "And these guys in jail!"

Few minutes later...

"Thanks Team Chaotix for stopping these thugs!" One of the officers thanked.

"You are welcome... we never turn down those in need," Vector laughed.

"Vector, I'm just about done returning the Chao and Pokemon back to the wild or either their trainers or owners," Espio said wiping sweat off his forehead.

"Okay the last Chao, and you belong to Cream don't you?"

"Charmy!"

"Oh hey Cream" Charmy said with Denzi sitting on his was holding Cheese who was trying to get to Cream.

"Thank you so much for saving Cheese!" She exclaimed. She too has grown older and into more a of a feminine figure.

"No problem."

"Cheese, I was so worried about you," Cream sobbed, happy tears streaking down her face as she hugged her Chao.

Vector and Espio walked up behind Charmy.

"Well I got to go," Cream smiled and thanked them again. "I hope to see you again Charmy!"

"Yeah we should hang out sometime!"

"Okay! Bye!" They waved and Cream left with Cheese.

"Well now that this case is solved why don't we go back to our base," Vector yawned.

"Yeah," Espio nodded before blanching. "Oooh shit."

"What Espio?"

"I was making breakfast," he mumbled, a mortified look lighting his eyes. "I left the oven on..."

"ESPIO!" Charmy and Vector cried.

They ran to the headquarters, fearing the worst, but were surprised to see everything was alright.

"Wait..." Vector said, looking right and left. "I left Feraligatr here... she might have saved us all!"

They walked inside and found Vector's Feraligatr wearing an apron and setting the plates of food down on the table.

"That's a good girl for ya," Vector chuckled.

Feraligatr giggled.

"Well let's eat!" Charmy yelled.

"I agree" Espio nodded.

"Good job Feraligatr" Vector said giving her a pat on the head.

"Gatr" She purred.

The three sat down and began eating.

...

"And thanks to team Chaotix... they were able to help us arrest these thugs who are very well at escaping from the police." The reporter on the television said.

"Wow!" Dakota whispered.

"Alright! Good on you guys!" Knuckles cheered.

"Well guys we better get going" Tails yawned.

"Alright then, let's go guys!" Sonic said.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu fist bumped Sonic.


A/N: Not my best chapter, thought about having Team Chaotix's pokemon battle... but I decided to wait on that for a future chapter. Oh well, hope you enjoy it. So this is like a side chapter, just short and not focusing on the main characters. Review and tell me your thoughts.

B/N: I also hope you enjoyed this, I certainly did! It can be a breath of fresh air to see someone new. This was also easier to work on, longer and fewer mistakes so we know our author is getting a lot better!
