Team All-Stars goes on Vacation

By: MadFearow aka Mr. Snorlax1986

Author's Notes: This story is based off the characters in my Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team video game for the Game Boy Advance. However, I'm assuming that Blaze, the hero character, has always been a Pokemon and was never a human. Also, this story takes place in the same setting as the main games (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, etc.) Humans will not appear in this story.

Not just junk mail

Blaze's POV

Hello, I'm Blaze the Charmander. I lead a large rescue team known as All-Stars. We are a successful team who has rescued many Pokemon from peril and we have done many great services for Pokemon throughout the land.

I'm the team founder and the leader. The team's co-founder is my main partner and friend Chikorita. The two of us have recruited many Pokemon to our ranks. Our recruits come from all different species, but each one brings his or her strengths to the team. As of right now, we number almost 400 strong.

Recruits? Yep, but we don't recruit just anybody off the street. A lot of Pokemon come to us begging to join our team, but we reject a good deal of candidates. It's nothing personal if you can't join, though. There's just a limit on the amount of resources we have.

I'm a leader to many Pokemon, but I'm also their friend. I walk around the team members' residences daily and I always ask how they're doing. I listen to and answer questions and complaints. But surprisingly, everything has been smooth. I guess it's in us Pokemon's nature to be compliant.

I'm proud of my ragtag rescue team, which is why today I'll make an important announcement that every good team makes.

What kind of announcement, you ask? Well, my fellow "mail bird", Pepper the Pelipper, dropped a few letters in my mailbox a few days ago. When I heard her land on my mailbox, I went out of my house to greet Pepper.

"Hey, Pepper! What's up?" I called out to the Shorebird Pokemon.

"Not much, Blaze, I'm as fine as ever," Pepper said as she dropped a bunch of mail from her beak into the mailbox. "You've got mostly junk mail – but there's one letter you might like."

"Really?" I rushed to the mailbox and looked through the letters…Pokemon Rescue Team weekly, Pokemon Products weekly, blah, blah, blah….

"Ah, I found it!" I shouted as I held up a letter from "Pokemon Island Resort Services".

"Well, open it up and let's take a look-see!" Pepper said, grinning.

"Okay!" I opened up the letter. There were some pretty pictures included but I eventually found the meat of the letter, so to speak.

"Dear Team All-Stars," I read out loud.

"We cordially invite you to the Pokemon paradise known as Pokemon Island! Come join us in this lush resort area where many fun activities for Pokemon abound! At the special price of P24, 000 for the whole team, come and experience what Pokemon Island has to offer."

"Sincerely,

Your friends at Pokemon Island Resorts"

"Wow, awesome!" Pepper exclaimed. "We can go, right?"

"Yeah, every one in the rescue team can go!" I replied. "At P24, 000 we can easily foot the bill."

"Great!" Pepper replied. "So, should I tell the others?"

"Go ahead!" I said. "But they probably won't believe you. I'll be the one to make the official announcement. Let me do some preparations first, such as paying and whatnot. It will only take a few days."

"Okay!" Pepper then flapped her wings and flew off.

And, so that was what the today's announcement is going to be about. I sent Pepper and a few other Pokemon to spread word to all Team All-Stars residences.
