Team ACT

Two days after Robin's kidnapping and rescue, our trio decided to take on rescue missions and when they were about to leave for the mission they heard a commotion and they saw a jumpluff who went by the name of Primrose talking to a shiftry named Hannibal and he was accompanied by two nuzleafs named Hermes and Hector.

Primrose cried, "Please Team Shiftry! My friend needs help to get out of these rocks."

Hannibal retorted, "Fat chance! I have to get paid to save your friend."

"Enough" cried a voice and the source of the voice was none other than an alakazam who was named Gandalf, and with him was a charizard named Draco and a tyranitar named Terra.

Gandalf stated, "You are going to help Prim's friend because you and your team can create a strong current for the wind."

Hannibal snapped, "Oh come on, why do I have to help a Pokémon that doesn't pay."

Gandalf snarled, "Do as I say! Unless you want your team to be reported and get your badge revoked."

Hannibal retorted, "Yes sir."

He turned to his team and he said, "Come on boys. Let's go."

The three Pokémon left with reluctance and Robin asked, "Who are these guys?"

A lombre named Carlos asked, "Have you been living in a stone cavern?"

Amaris said, "No. We just want to know who they are."

Carlos answered, "All right. The alakazam is Gandalf; he's the leader of Team ACT. Hi IQ is said to be over 3000 and he uses telekinetic abilities. The charizard is Draco, he is the bravest of the three and his flames are said to melt through stone. The tyranitar is Terra, he is the proudest of the trio and is considered deadly against enemies that use flames. The Team ACT is on a golden rank."

Irwin asked, "There are ranks?"

"Yes," answered Carlos, "There are seven ranks in the rescue team. Normal, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Lucario, the lucario rank was a tribute to the legendary team leader a Lucario named Lucius. He was known for his stubborn courage and had a way of honor."

Team ACT was about to leave for a new rescue mission, Gandalf stopped and saw Amaris and stared at her in a pondering manner.

Draco asked, "What's wrong Gandalf?"

Gandalf retorted, "Nothing, now come on."

Robin in stared in amazement and he said, "We really have to gain a reputation for ourselves."

He ran over to the Pelliper office and saw a rescue mission that had three question marks on the reward chart and client.

Stumped in curiosity, Robin took the rescue mission to the other two and Amaris read it.

It stated, "Help. I can't find my way home; if you can help I appreciate it. I'm in Mt. Steel on the fourth floor.-?"

Irwin asked, "Who wrote this?"

Robin answered, "It better not be one of Team Meanies. I still can't get over what they did."

Amaris asked, "Robin would it be better that you stay in town?"

Robin retorted, "I'll still go. Besides I'm trying to be stronger to make my parents proud of me."

Amaris answered back, "Robin, no one is perfect and I can tell you right now that you are a brave little guy, but you need to think before charging into battle."

The trio entered the mountain and got to the eighth floor and to their shock they saw a young Pokémon that had dark green buds that resembled a necklace, huge red eyes, with a large leaf on her head that was longer than her body, she was a chikorita. She was trying to face up against a bird like Pokémon that had rough, brown plumage on his head with a short, hooked beak known as a spearow.

The spearow said in a taunting tone, "You got some nerve coming over here."

The chikorita retorted, "It's not what it looks like. I got lost and I was trying to find my way home."

The spearow stated in a harsh voice, "You shouldn't have trespassed here then!"

Amaris cried, "Hold it right birdy. I think this Pokémon is my client."

The spearow answered back, "Who do you think you are? You look like little kids pretending to be a rescue team."

Robin snapped, "That's it! I'll teach you to mess with Team Unity!"

He clawed at the spearow and he asked, "Are you going to surrender or are you going to be thirsty for more?!"

Amaris cried, "Robin! Don't antagonize the enemy."

The spearow asked, "What are you going to do about it rat lady?"

Amaris said as she unleashed an electrical torrent to the spearow causing the bird to drop on the ground in defeat much to Robin's annoyance as he said, "Really Amaris? You need to work on that aim of yours the next time you try to electrify your enemies."

Amaris laughed sheepishly and she asked to the chikorita, "Are you okay?"

The chikorita answered, "I'm fine. Thanks for saving me."

Irwin asked, "What's your name?"

The chikorita answered, "My name is Akantha. Once again, thanks for saving me. I was wondering if we can talk about the reward at the Pelliper Post Office."

Amaris said pulling out her rescue badge, "Good idea."

Once our trio was out of the dungeon, Akantha said, "I would like to reward you with my friend area Beau Plains. I was wondering if I can join your team."

Irwin asked, "Why?"

Akantha answered, "Ever since I heard about you guys I was considering if I join you I can be stronger. What do you say?"

Amaris pondered her thoughts and she said, "I'll let you join, but you need to be prepared for any enemy big or small to rescue others from distress. Do you understand?"

Akantha said, "Yes. I understand."

Amaris answered back, "All right. We can call you when we need you."

Amaris noticed the rescue badge was glowing in a white aura and it shattered to form a bronze color.

Robin cried, "Looks like our rank is up."

Irwin stated, "At this rate, we can be a team that builds up a reputation of friendship and teamwork regardless of what type we are."

Author's Notes: Looks like Team Unity has raised their rank, but they have much to learn. In the next chapter is going to be an exploration of the Makuhita Dojo. Until then, constructive criticism and suggestions for future chapters are welcome.
