Rescue Bots in the World of Pokémon
Here's another chapter of my Rescue bots/Pokémon story.
mewmaster89: Here's the next chapter coming your way.
pokemonjkl: I always like to put a little twist in my stories sometimes to try and make them more exciting.
ShadowPhoenix121: The dream that Anora had is kind of a vision of an event that is to happen, and as for shipping Anora with one of the Bots...let's just say that the shipping will happen in season four of the story. As for which Bot she's going to be shipped with well...let's just say it's a surprise, but you might figure out which Bot as you continue to she'll end up with as you continue to read the story. And yes that line that Doc Greene said is pretty funny as he is a funny man. As for the Pokémon Team that Anora will build up through the story you are correct with the Treecko, but the other Pokémon you'll have to wait and see.
Chapter Four: A Family of Heroes part 1
It was a normal day on the Main Land as hardly any clouds floated within the clear blue sky. All seemed peaceful for a while until a large unidentified space craft suddenly came flying down from the sky. It was silver in color with four green windows on the front of it. The space craft crashed landed in an abandoned military base as it bounced a few times across the ground before crashing into a metal electrical pole. For a moment the space craft was still as smoke steamed off the ship's surface. The bottom hatch of the space craft opened as four giant robots walked out of the ship. They all looked around in wonder and curiosity at their new surroundings. The green bot stopped behind his companions as he stared wide eyed at the world around him.
"What is this place?" voiced the green.
"Earth," answered a baritone voice from the shadows as a larger bot stepped out from a nearby hanger. "And I am Optimus Prime."
The red bot stepped forward to stand in front of the other three robots as he raised his arm up to salute the larger robot.
"Rescue Force Sigma-17 reporting for duty" said the red bot.
Optimus, who had his battle mask on, retracted it as he stared at the four robots in front of him. He held a surprised look upon his features when the red bot told him who they were.
"I was not aware that rescue teams were still active," spoke Optimus.
"Wherever there is an emergency, there are Rescue Bots, sir," spoke the silver bot.
"Wait, why wouldn't we be active?" asked a copper bot as he looked among his team members in confusion. "How long were we in stasis? We'd better check in with Cybertron HQ."
"That will not be necessary or possible," said Optimus in a sad voice. "Cybertron is no longer our home," he then turned his gaze to look around the abandoned military grounds before finishing his sentence. "This planet is."
The four Rescue Bots stared at Optimus in shock before glancing at each other with worried expressions upon their faces.
On Griffin Rock: Three days later
It had been three days since Anora came to Griffin Rock and so far she had gotten slightly used to living on the island with her Uncle Charlie and her four cousins. She still had a lot to learn about her temporary home, and the technology that it possessed. Right now, Anora was sitting on the large sofa in the kitchen living room with Mimi sleeping on her lap. She gently stroked the little fox Pokémon as she read a book that Dani had given her to keep occupied for a while. Anora quietly read the book before she heard the phone ringing. Anora was about to get up to answer it, but her uncle got to the phone before she could move from the sofa.
"This is Chief Charlie Burns," spoke Charlie to the person on the phone.
Charlie was silent for a moment as he listened to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Alright, thank you," said Charlie with a nod of his head. "I'll take a chopper to the Main Land as soon as I can."
Charlie then hung up the phone and turned to look at Anora with a smile.
"Well, looks like the shipment for the family's new rescue vehicles have come in," said Charlie. "I'm going to be heading to the Main Land to pick them up after I drop off Kade, Dani and Graham."
"How long are you going to be gone," asked Anora with a light frown.
"Only for an hour," answered Charlie with a reassuring smile. "I'll be back with the new vehicles in the afternoon where I'll take them to Griffin Park to show them to the people of Griffin Rock. Everyone on Griffin Rock is going to be there and I'm hoping that you will be at the dedication as well."
Anora smiled and nodded her head: "Is it okay if I bring Mimi along?"
"Sure," replied Charlie with a nod. "But just make sure that you keep an eye on her, okay?"
"Don't worry, I will," answered Anora with a reassuring smile.
"Good," said Charlie and he turned to leave.
Anora was about to go back to reading her book when Charlie stopped to look back at his niece.
"You know, you should take the time to explore the town," suggested Charlie. "That way you can get to know the streets a little better. You should also try making a few friends in the process."
Anora looked at her uncle for a moment before turning her gaze downwards to stare at the floor. After a while, Anora lifted her head up to look at her uncle again with a hesitant smile on her face before nodding her head.
"Alright," said Anora softly, "I'll take a walk around and try to make some friends here on Griffin Rock."
"That's all I can I ask," said Charlie with a smile.
With that, Charlie turned and made his way down stairs to the garage where three of his older children were waiting for him. Anora sat on the sofa for a while with a thoughtful look upon her face before Mimi gently butted her head against her hand. Anora glanced down to smile at Mimi as she gently petted the Eevee on the head, while placing the book she had been reading down on the sofa.
"I guess we should go out to see and learn what we can about our temporary home," said Anora.
Mimi cocked her head in confusion when she heard the word 'temporary home' come out from Anora's mouth.
"The reason I said 'temporary home' is because I know that this good life we're having isn't going to last very long." Anora explained with a sad frown. "My parents will find some way to get me back and if they do then...then they'll try to force us apart."
Mimi sadly looked up at her friend before she began to nuzzle against Anora's stomach to comfort her. Anora petted Mimi for a moment before she gathered her Pokémon friend in her arms and stood up from the sofa.
"Well...let's see what this town has to offer us, Mimi," said Anora as she began to make her way to the elevator.
She took it down to the garage and when she got out of the elevator, Anora saw her older cousins and uncle just getting into the police car. Charlie noticed his niece walking towards him before she stopped to stand in front of him.
"I'm going out," said Anora with a small smile.
Charlie nodded his head: "Stay safe and make sure you're on time for the dedication."
"Do worry, I will," said Anora before she turned and took off at a jog.
Anora made a right turn as she headed down the sidewalk to look around the town of Griffin Rock, while hoping to make some new human friends along the way.
Back on the Main Land
In one of the large hangers of the abandoned military base, Optimus was walking back and forth in front of the four young Rescue Bots that he had met three days ago. The four Rescue Bots had been informed about what had happened to their home, Cybertron, and were given time to adjust to their new surroundings. The day had finally come for Optimus to tell them what their assignment will be.
"Heatwave, Chase, Blades, Boulder," said Optimus as he stopped to stand in front of the four bots. "After careful consideration, I have chosen your new mission."
The red Rescue Bot, Heatwave, grinned with excitement: "Nice!"
"We are happy to join the battle sir," the silver bot, Chase, said with a salute.
"So when do we roll out?" asked Heatwave eagerly.
"You do not," said Optimus as the four Autobots looked up at him in confusion. "As, perhaps, the last Rescue Bots in existence you are uniquely suited to help the people of this planet, as well as learn from them."
"You mean we'll interact with humans?" asked the green bot, Boulder, excitedly.
"You will be ambassadors to the people of this planet," answered Optimus. "The first Autobots to live with a human family. Study their customs, obey their rules, and work together to keep this planet safe. During this mission, you four must appear to the humans as machines, robots in disguise.
Heatwave, who had his arms crossed, looked at Optimus cynically: "What?"
"While the people of earth are comfortable with advance technology, the idea that alien beings are living among them will undoubtedly cause panic," explained Optimus.
"So we can help the humans as long as we hide our true selves?" grumbled Heatwave, clearly unimpressed about acting as a mindless machine.
But then he thought about the human girl that he had seen on the Sigma when he had woken up. Heatwave had written off to seeing the girl in the Sigma as nothing but him imagining things, but he would never forget the look of fear on her face when she saw him, even if it was just for a quick moment. Heatwave's thoughts didn't linger on the girl for long as Optimus walked up to him.
"You have every right to question what is best for your team, Heatwave. That is why I'm asking you to lead this mission." Optimus said before he held out his right servo to Heatwave.
Heatwave looked down at the servo offered to him for a second before looking up at Optimus. Even though he didn't like the idea of pretending to be a mindless machine, Heatwave knew that he had to do what was best for his team. Heatwave lifted his own servo and shook Optimus's as a sign of acceptance before letting go.
'It's probably for the best anyways,' thought Heatwave to himself.
Optimus then turned and walked towards a garage gate that stood four feet away from the Rescue Bots. Optimus pressed a green button that was located on the side of the garage gate, which opened to reveal four vehicles that stood in a row.
"To maintain your cover, you will each adopt a vehicle mode based on earth technology," said Optimus.
Boulder stepped forward as his orange amber optics gazed at the green bulldozer in fascination.
"Whoa! Look at those lines." Boulder stated as he gazed at the vehicle, "This thing's a power house."
"Boulder, do you wish to scan first?" asked Optimus as he folded his servos behind his back.
Boulder's eyes glowed green as he scanned the vehicle he had chosen for his earth-based form. Once the scan was completed, he transformed into the bulldozer with the same color and design. Heatwave was up next as he walked forward to examine the red firetruck among the three vehicles.
"Huh, primitive," said Heatwave with a grin. "But apparently they use this one for what I did back home."
Heatwave's eyes glowed red as he scanned the firetruck and then transformed. Chase was next as he stepped forward to gaze at the two remaining vehicles before he turned to look at Optimus.
"Is this what earth authorities use for rule enforcements?" asked Chase, referring to the white and blue police car.
Optimus answered with a nod before Chase bent down to the police car's height. His eyes glowed blue as he scanned the vehicle of his choosing before he transformed. The last Rescue Bot, the copper colored bot, Blades, was left as he stood staring at the last vehicle with a finger on his chin before Optimus stepped forward.
"It seems your choice has been made for you, Blades," said Optimus.
Blades walked forward towards the orange and white helicopter, and scanned it. Blades transformed into his new earth-based mode before he decided to try it out. He turned on the main rotor that sat on top of him and was lifted half way off the ground.
"Wait," said Blades as he falls back down the ground. "This thing flies?"
Boulder rolled forward to speak to Optimus: "He doesn't like heights."
Suddenly, the side door to the hanger opened as Optimus turned to see Charlie Burns walking into the building. He soon came to stand beside the Autobot leader.
"This is Chief Charlie Burns," said Optimus as he introduced the man to the rescue team. "He knows our secret and will help you keep yours, Rescue Bots…good luck."
"It is an honor and a privilege," said Charlie as he made the mistake of talking to the original vehicles that were in the garage, which he thought were the Rescue Bots.
"Over here," spoke Heatwave as he lit up his headlights.
Charlie looked behind him to see that the four Transformers were actually behind him before looking back and forth between the Rescue Bot and the original vehicles in confusion.
Back on Griffin Rock
Anora was sitting on a bench in Griffin Rock Park, which stood underneath a tall tree, with a sad frown on her face. Anora had been wandering around the town and taking in the sights. She had to say that what she saw on her walk had given her a new perspective of her temporary home. But the reason she had a sad frown on her face was because she hadn't been able to make any friends on the island. The reason that she hasn't made a friend yet was because she was still a little shy to get near to kids her own age. And when she does find the courage to walk up to talk to them, the kids would take one look at her and Mimi then turned to walk away. Anora got the feeling that the kids on the island didn't want to be friends with a girl who is carrying a Pokémon around with her. Mimi was sitting on the bench beside Anora as she looked up at her friend with sad eyes.
Anora let out a sigh: "Making friends on Griffin Rock is going to be a lot harder than I thought."
Mimi let out a sad yip of agreement and looked down at the ground in shame, feeling like it was her fault that Anora was having a hard time in finding a human child to be her friend. Anora saw this before she picked up her little friend and held her in her lap.
"It has nothing to do with you Mimi," reassured Anora with a smile. "I guess it's just me that people find strange to talk to."
Mimi was about to shake her head to disagree with her human friend when her ears perked up. Anora noticed this and became curious to Mimi's behavior.
"Mimi, what is it?" asked Anora.
Just then, Anora and Mimi heard the sound of leaves rustling above their heads before something leaped out from the tree and landed on Anora's shoulders. Anora yelped out in surprise before looking to see what had fallen onto her shoulders, and what she saw had her laughing.
"Treecko, Treecko!" exclaimed the Pokémon with a smirk.
"It's you!" exclaimed Anora with a smile.
Sitting on Anora's shoulders was the same Treecko that she had met at Doc Greene's lab. The gecko Pokémon giggled before it leapt off Anora's shoulder and landed on the ground in front of her and Mimi. Treecko held up its hand and gave Anora a friendly wave, which caused the young teen to giggle.
"I never thought we'd see you again," said Anora as she got up from the bench with Mimi jumping from her lap to land on the ground.
Mimi let out a happy yip in greeting with Treecko doing the same as Anora crouched down to be at the gecko Pokémon's height: "How have you and Rotom been? I hope you two aren't causing Doc Greene and Frankie any trouble."
Treecko responded with waving its left hand casually in its way of saying 'of course not'. Anora only giggled at the action along with Mimi before she looked upwards to see that the sun was in the middle of the sky, and gasped when she realized what time it was.
"Oh no, I'm supposed to be at the dedication!" exclaimed Anora as she stood up to her full height again. "I have to get to the stage or I'll be late!"
The Treecko saw the alarmed look on Anora's face before tapping her leg to get her attention. Anora looked down at Treecko in confusion for a moment before the gecko Pokémon began to point down the path that they were on. Anora quickly understood what the Treecko was trying to tell her before she picked up Mimi, and began to run down the path with Treecko running in front of her as it led her to where she needed to go. It turned out that the path was a short cut that led to where the stage was standing. Thankfully, Anora saw that she was on time when she saw that the people of Griffin Rock were starting to gather around the stage.
"Thanks Treecko," said Anora as she looked down at the gecko Pokémon in gratitude.
"Tree, Treecko," spoke the Pokémon as it waved its left hand saying 'No, Biggy'.
Anora chuckled at the Treecko's action: "Do you want to stick around for the dedication of the new rescue vehicles that are going to be shown today?"
The Treecko nodded its head 'yes' before it followed Anora to the stage where they stood in front of the crowed to have a front row seat. Anora noticed that she wasn't the only standing at the front of the stage as she saw Frankie and her father standing a few feet away from her. Anora saw that Frankie was holding a museum guidebook in her hands, and Anora could only guess that Frankie would be more interested in the new dinosaur exhibit being display at the museum than the ceremony for the new rescue vehicles. Anora saw Cody walking up to Frankie and Doc Greene before he noticed her, and waved her over to them. Anora nodded before looking down at the Treecko that stood beside her.
"Make sure you behave, okay? This is an important day for my uncle and his family."
Treecko nodded its head before it followed Anora over to Frankie and Doc Greene. Luckily, Cody's friend was too interested in the guidebook to notice Treecko walking up to them.
"Isn't this exciting?" Frankie grinned as she talked to Cody. "The tech's like nothing I've ever seen."
Charlie soon appeared on stage as he cleared his throat to get the people's attention: "Thank you for coming everybody."
Anora looked up at her uncle while tuning Frankie out as the young girl talked about the dinosaur exhibit. Anora chuckled when Treecko decided to climb up onto her shoulders to get a better look at the stage.
"Our town has a long history of being on the cutting edge of technology," continued Charlie as he gave his speech to the people of Griffin Rock. "Now thanks to our friends in LaRousse City in the Hoenn Region, I give you...the latest in emergency response...the Rescue Bots!"
After he said those words he motioned to a platform with four different colors on it. Four large slots opened as four rescue vehicles were risen up from the underground shelter. Anora and the people of Griffin Rock stared at the rescue vehicle as they all let out cheers of excitement, while also clapping their hands in applause in the process. But what happened next really took Anora's breath away when her uncle gave out a command to the vehicles.
"Robots, transform!"
At his command the rescue vehicles began to change from vehicles into giant robots. Anora couldn't help but feel a little intimidated at how big the robots were as she slightly took a cautious step back, while the crowd gasped and stared up at the robots in amazement.
"These rescue vehicles will streamline our resources," spoke Charlie as he came to stand in front of the robot that had been a police car. "Now, one team with one robot and one human can do the work of an entire police force," as he gestured to the robot behind him. "Fire department," coming out from behind the red robot was Kade in his firefighter jacket and helmet with a cocky smirk on his face. "Emergency response unit," Dani came out in full uniform as she stood beside the orange and white robot with a smile. "And engineering core," Graham was the last one to stand in front of the green robot as he looked down at his I-pad with a green hardhat sitting on his head. "Each robot is programmed to respond only to the command of its handler. So you can sleep at night, knowing that Griffin Rock is protected by the very best technology and humanity have to offer."
Anora smiled as she watched her three older cousins and her uncle gather together to stand before the crowed with confidence radiating off of them. She was glad that she had relatives that cared about people and are willing to risk their own lives to protect this town. Anora turned her gaze onto the robots again and noticed a small orange butterfly fluttering towards the green robot before it landed on its nose. What happened next caused Anora to freeze in surprise, while Mimi and Treecko stared in shock. The green robot moved its left hand up as if to flick the butterfly away, but the red robot next to it suddenly nudged its elbow against the green robot's right arm. The green robot lowered its hand before it gently blew the butterfly off of its nose.
"What in the world..." voiced Anora with a frown before Mimi leapt from her arms and Treecko hopped off of her shoulders.
The two Pokémon landed on the stage before they ran across it to get a better look at the robots.
"Mimi! Treecko!" exclaimed Anora as she quickly pulled herself up onto the stage and ran after the two Pokémon.
The two Pokémon ran up to the red robot and stopped near its feet. Treecko and Mimi stared up at the red robot long and hard before the gecko Pokémon decided to see if it could get a reaction by climbing up the robot's leg. Treecko only got about half-way up the robot's large metal boot before Anora quickly grabbed it and pulled the gecko Pokémon off the robot.
"You shouldn't do that Treecko," scolded Anora with a firm look on her face. "You can't just climb onto machinery that you don't know anything about."
Treecko huffed as it puffed out its cheeks, while crossing its arms and legs to show it was pouting. Anora let out a sigh before she heard the sound of banging to her right. She turned her head to see Cody banging his fist a few times on the green robot's foot and raised an eyebrow at her little cousin.
'Could he have noticed the robots moving too?' thought Anora as she turned her head to look up at the red robot.
Anora blinked when she caught the red robot looking down at her for a moment before it quickly lifted its head to stare straight ahead, while standing stiff again. But it was hard for Anora to know for sure if the robot had been looking at her for its eyes are hidden behind a light blue visor. Anora then noticed a strange symbol on the robot's upper chest above the window.
'What is that symbol?' thought Anora curiously.
"Hey, kid, could you and your freak of a cousin move," said a man in a red suit as he held a camera in his hands. "I want picture of the Burns family of heroes."
Anora flinched when the man called her 'freak' as a pained look came over her face. She remembered how the kids back in her hometown called her a freak because of her love for Pokémon. Then after two days on Griffin Rock, the people of the town began to avoid her after they saw her carrying Mimi around in her arms.
'Is it going to be the same here too?' thought Anora sadly before she turned and began to walk a few steps away with Treecko still in her arms and Mimi walking beside her.
She only got about ten feet away from the red robot when she heard her uncle speaking. Anora stopped to look towards her uncle as he talked to someone on the com-link.
"This is the Chief, go ahead," said Charlie before his face grew serious, "Fire at the Natural History Museum!"
Anora heard the sound of gears shifting and turned to see the red robot turn back into a firetruck.
"Hey, I didn't tell it to do that," said Kade as he turned to look at the vehicle in confusion.
"Its new technology son," said Charlie. "Bound to be some bugs."
Anora frowned in suspicion at what her uncle had said before her two older cousins and uncle ordered their robots to transform as well. Once the robots transformed, Kade, Graham, Dani and Charlie climbed into their vehicles and drove down the street towards the museum. Anora turned to see her younger cousin running towards his bike. Cody quickly got on his bike and began to follow after his family. Anora watched him leave before a determined look came over her face.
She turned her gaze onto the Treecko she still held in her arms: "Treecko, is there a short cut that leads to the Natural History Museum?"
Treecko nodded its head before it jumped out of Anora's arms and began to run in the direction where the short-cut to the museum was. Anora and Mimi quickly followed after the Treecko as the gecko Pokémon led them down a few streets before coming to their destination, where they luckily got there first before the rescue team. Anora, Mimi and the Treecko quickly hid behind a few bushes as the police car that Charlie was driving came to a stop in front of the museum. Her uncle quickly got out of the car and ordered it to transform so that it could clear the civilians from the danger zone. Anora watched for a moment before she noticed Cody, and wave to him from her hiding place in the bushes. Cody saw her before he quickly jumped off his bike and made his way to where his cousin was hiding.
"How'd you get here so fast?" questioned Cody in a whisper.
"Let's just say I had some help in finding a short cut to the museum," answered Anora as she looked down at the Treecko that stood beside her.
The Treecko lifted its right arm up and waved to Cody, who waved back in surprise. Anora got serious as she turned to look back at the rescue vehicles that her uncle and older cousins now own.
"Cody, have you noticed anything strange about the new rescue vehicles?" asked Anora as she glanced at her younger cousin for a moment.
"You mean how one of the robots moved without being told what to do?" questioned Cody as he guessed what his older cousin was thinking.
"Yeah," said Anora with a nod of her head. "Something tells me that there's more to these robots then meets the eye."
The two cousins and Pokémon continued to watch as Kade started to put out the fire before Dani came flying down in her new helicopter. Kade turned to look at his sister with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Nice of you to show up, Dani" said Kade.
"Could've been here sooner if my ride wasn't stuck in neutral," said Dani angrily as she got out of the helicopter and walked away from it with a First-Aid kit in her right hand, while adding with grumble. "Next time I'm walking."
Cody and Anora watched as the helicopter sunk down, while letting out a quiet sigh in the process. The two cousins looked at one another curiously to what they had just seen. After an hour, Kade and his new firetruck have finally put out the fire in the museum. Charlie, Graham, Kade and Dani walked into the museum to see what had caused the fire in the first place.
The dinosaurs in the exhibit have gotten the worst of the fire as some of their skin was burned off to reveal the wires and circuits hidden in their bodies. Anora, Cody and the two Pokémon quickly snuck into the museum as they hid behind one of the lager pillars within the room. They watched and listened in on what Charlie and the older Burns siblings were saying as Graham was trying to fix some wires in one of the electronic dinosaurs.
"Looks like a short started the fire, but this should hold for a while." Graham said as he used his electronic screwdriver to fix some of the electronics. "The cyberwire's too much for these old circuits."
"Well, it's just a good thing that nobody got hurt," said Charlie.
As soon as those words left his mouth, Charlie and Graham turned to see sparks coming out of the mechanical brontosaurus behind them. The head of the dinosaur broke off from its neck and started to fall towards Charlie and Graham. Anora gasped in fear and was about to cry out her Uncle and cousin's names when the red robot appeared near the broken glass window, and quickly stuck its arm through it to catch the head before it crushed them. Anora gazed at the robot in astonishment when it had moved to save her uncle and older cousin's life. She then noticed that Cody had snuck over to hide near the T-rex display, but she and the two Pokémon stayed where they were as they listened, and watched what was going on in front of them.
"I didn't tell it to do that," said Kade.
"I wouldn't complain," said Dani before she walked towards her father and Graham.
Charlie glanced over his shoulder to nod at the Fire-bot before he and Graham walked up to Kade and Dani.
"Your robot was still in rescue mode," explained Charlie with a smile. "You gave him the directive to save lives, so he did."
Kade smirked as he crossed his arms over his chest: "You're welcome, Graham."
Anora heard Dani let out a sigh of exasperation, while she only rolled her eyes at her eldest cousin. Kade was always such a glory hog and he wouldn't hesitate to take all the credit when it came to winning people's favor. The Fire-bot, Heatwave, growled quietly as he glared at the human he was partnered with, annoyed that Kade was getting all the credit. Charlie rolled his eyes before he and his eldest children walked out of the museum, unaware that Cody and Anora had been watching them the whole time. Anora peaked out from her hiding spot with Treecko and Mimi once Charlie and her older cousins had stepped outside. She turned her gaze towards the window, only to see that the Fire-bot was gone. Cody ran up to her as the two cousins shared a look with one another.
"There's definitely something going on here," said Anora with a raised eyebrow.
Cody nodded before he, along with Anora, Mimi and Treecko, began to walk out of the museum. But as they were making their way out of the museum, they were unaware of the T-rex sparking as water dripped down on it from above. Its eyes flickered for a few minutes before they began to glow bright red.
