The liquid inferno started to spread all over the ground. The air got a lot warmer too . The Lava had already formed a circle around team reptiles and their new recruits .Even a big kangaroo would fail at jumping over the lava,especially at making it back to the tunnel they came from. ."Now what are we supposed to do?" Totodile asked " I don't know...well looks like we´re in big trouble "Charmander asked. " too bad you guys can´t fly "the Zubats noticed.
"Can't a Charmander cross lava?" Totodile asked his lizard friend "I dunno,but I would be scared if I had to try that out... " Charmander was tense ,what if Totodiles suspicion was wrong and Charmander lost a foot or so..."Well I´ll try "Charmander said,walking towards the lava ,which by now had covered most of the ground . The lava inched towards the spot where the new founded rescue team was at. Charmander put his right foot just above the lava . Feelin hot already?a Zubat said . "it´s not hot yet. It´s just a little warm"Charmander said .
Charmander looked at the flame on his tail ,then he put down his foot into the lava with full confidence. This feels like hot sludge and it doesn´t hurt a bit! Charmander said happily.
The so called sludge steamed on contact with the skin of the fire lizard. Charmander went to Totodile,showing him his foot."your foot is still in one piece but there is one more problem..."
What is that? Charmanderasked." Well I can´t fly nor am I fire proof."Totodile said, looking sadly. Maybe I can carry you ? Charmander wondered. Charmander tried to lift Totodile , but the crocodile was just way too heavy for him. Totodile was probably heavier then Charmander...
"Well you gotta be doin more training" one of the Zubats said. The Lava was now just a couple feet away.
Charmander thought to him self...How can I reduce the weight of Totodile?Maybe I need something to pull him up a little..Maybe someone to lift him a little,so we can split up his weight...
still we would want to keep him balanced while he is on my shoulders...I know!Charmander said suddenly. "Zubats!Fly under Totodiles arms,one of you goes left the other goes right then fly up with him and land him on my shoulders but still keep flying a little,so we can split up the weight."Charmander commanded. They started to slowly lift Totodile . They were sweating because Totodiles was quite heavy. They landed the crocodile on Charmanders shoulders.
Suddenly Charmander noticed something on his feet. The lava had covered them up ,so now Charmander had to carry Totodile back all the way back to the tunnel they came from This would be a bad time to drop me!Totodile said, since he was very afraid of burning to death in this cave .I told you that friends help another and I will get you out of here pal!Charmander said,trying to comfort his friend. Thanks buddy!Totodile said. And so the tower of Pokemon walked towards the tunnel which was in sight. Charmanders back started to hurt but he didn´t care.
They slowly got closer to the tunnel ,which was a slope that leads upwards. Charmanders back really hurt now. At last they where a few feet away,when Totodile suddently yelled, like someone threw a hot knife at him. The crocodile lost balance and fell ,dropping the item bag and the map of the caves… Charmander charged at Totodile like a football player,he tried to push him onto the slope but before that happened Totodiles left foot came in touch with the lava,in the next split second Charmander pushed him onto the slope of the tunnel which lead upwards. The items and the map however,sunk into the lava and burned. . The Zubats where flapping in the air ,like they had spotted something. Charmander seen the burn on Totodiles foot but apparently someone had thrown lava at his back too. Totodile groaned:Water gun! Cooling his burns down,to prevent further injury ,
because a burn has high temperature ,which burns the skin around it. The crocodile was laying there in shock. Charmander was staring at the lava,trying to spot the attacker,suddenly Charmander thought to see a pair of eyes in the lava … Charmander dashed through the lava towards the eyes in the fire :scratch! That apparently was a creature completely of lava ,after taking a hit it dived down and deeper into the lava,then it was gone.. .Well that went fast!Charmander said. That was a Slugma,they live in lava...Totodile informed his friend. Charmander walked towards his injured friendwho had been sitting down on the slope. All of sudden he yelled at Charmander: Run!Charmander ran out of the lava,then he looked back. There where slugmas coming out of the tunnels of the cave system,which led into the bigger room they where . Aw lets get outta here! the bats screeched. One of the lava creatures suddenly shot a Flamethrower towards Totodile. Charmander managed to get in the way of the attack. That was a powerfulattack,even though he was resistant to fire . Then charmander screamed : smoke screen! A cloud of black smoke filled the the slugmas got really angry,they started shooting fire in all direction. Zubats fly through the cave back up and wait at the entrance . You probably can´t walk ,right Totodile? Charmander asked. The smoke started to disappear. Well I would be able to jump on one foot . Charmander said ,standing on Totodile´s left side. The smoke was almost gone now . Totodile held on to charmanders he started to jump on one foot .they where going out of the lava cave just before the smoke vanished. Next thing a lot of the slugmas went up the slope as well. At last they where at the top of the slope and at the spot from which they entered the lava caves. Al of a sudden some angry voices caught charmanders attention. The zubats who where waiting seen the slugmas who where already within sight. Supersonic! The bats yelled. A high pitched scream went in the direction of the lava pokemon. Then team reptiles went away from the opening. The slugmas who where confused now,started to retreat. Apparently that Lava cave was their territory and they tried to defend it. Totodile told everybody. Oh the map! Totodile suddenly noticed,that the map was gone.Now what? charmander said. Well we can use our Ultrasonic to see. I remember the way out of this cave . Charmander and the injured totodile where following the lead of the bats. Soon they where at the spot,where charmander and Totodile battled the Zubats for the first time. Totodile seen light at the end of the cave. Where out of here! Finally ! Totodile they where out of the cave and back in the daylight . The sun looked like it was around noon . Team reptiles took the path back towards Toptown. Totodile kept looking for bushes of citrus berries but he didn´t find where more clouds then when Team reptiles came sun was also less intense. The zubats followed Charmander and Totodile.
After an hour of walking they where back in Toptown.what´s this place a bat asked. Well it´s a town where many pokemon live but it´s also the home of the Rescue Team Orgnaisation. Totodile explained .That´s Cool the bat said.. after a few minutes they where back in the Headquartes of the RTO. Ninetails was in the lobby as usual . She came over to team reptiles who had finished their first mission,even though it was really tough. What happened to you Totodile? The Fox Pokemon wondered,looking at Totodiles left foot. Well I got burned by lava...Totodile explained
really? That has to hurt if your not a fire type. Charmander,what did you find in the cave? Ninetails asked the lizard. Well there was Lava everywhere and there were some slugmas down there,who were probably just defending their territory. That sounds dangerous! Ninetails said.
And I carried Totodile through the lava . Really?That was brave but probably the only way.
Being a fire type brings many advantages,ey? Ninetails said to charmander.
Sure does ! The fire lizard said.Hmm we have a Chansey here , she will be able to help you with your burns. The Fox told Totodile Oh I see you have already found friends.Ninetaile said because it noticed the Zubats . They are our new friendsTotodile said. Ninetails wrote something down. Then it called: Chan!A big Pink Pokemon with a small pouch on its belly,which contained a egg came out of a room which was next to the room of pokemon hat a big grin on it´s face... We have someone here with some you please take the time to help the Totodile. Ninetails told Chansey.
Of course! I´have some Ointment made out of some herbs mixed with different will help your burn to heal faster and to be less pianfull. The happy pokemon explained .
Meanwhile Ninetails went into Gravelers Room...I will apply some on the wounds now. I will also give you a small cup of it to . Always put on before you sleep ,so the Ointment gets some time to work ,without you moving around a now lift your foot. Chansey said to the lifted his chansey rubbed some of the ointment felt cool.
That tickles!Totodile said,laughing a little.Ok some on your back to. Well If you can´t reach your wounds,then you can ask charmander,right ? Sure,he is my friend. Totodile said. He saved my life today. Ok then,if you need anything else,just come to my room.Chansey said,before going into his room. Then Ninetails came out of gravellers room. You were really successful and brave Today. Even graveler was impressed. Everytime you succeed I write that down. After a certain amout of successes you start getting badges . Now for your reward. Totodiles eyes where shining . Graveler gave you a bigger Item bag . Ninetails showed them the new item bag,which looked pretty much like a backpack . There are also 6 Oranberries , 2 Apples ,one Heal seed, two Max Elixirs and 100 Pokedollars inside. Wow thank you so much!
Totodile and Charmander said. Well for a good job you get good a good reward ! See you tommorow ok?
Sure!The reptiles said. The Zubats flew closer to take a look. Now That is awesome ! one said
Team reptiles soon left the building. It looked like it would get evening soon. Charmander carried the new Item bag. I´m soo tired Totodile said. I just want to go home and nap. Ok lets go.Charmander said. They once again took the path through the forest,which lead through the forest which looked peaceful at this time of the day.
After some Time they arrived at the lake. We are gonna stay around here to watch out if something comes . The bats said . Well thanks. Totodile said. We are going into Totodiles cave to sleep. Charmander said. Charmander and Totodile went into the cave. They each laid on their beds.
Totodile yawned took the small jar of Totodiles Ointment and rubbed some on Totodiles foot and on his back .That feels nice ! Totodile said. Anyway thanks for helping me Today.. I probably would have died in there if it werent for your help. The crocodile said.
No problem,we are a rescue team so I basically just did my job. It would be best if
we slept now Charmander said. After a few seconds they where both asleep. Not knowing what awaited them the other day .
