Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: The Human Squirtle
Episode 1: A Pokemon in Peril



Prologue: Lightning Strike

It was raining very hard, there were no Pokémon anywhere, they had all taken shelter.

The lightning was very bright and deafening, no weather like this had ever come to the Tiny Woods. These disasters had been getting worse and soon the entire world could be destroyed, no-one knew what the cause was and no-one knew how to stop it.

Suddenly a giant green bolt of lightning came down from the sky, startling many bird Pokémon. They all flew off but one Pidgey looked back and saw a Pokémon lying on the ground. She gasped but she knew she couldn’t help that Pokémon, a water type couldn’t survive a lightning strike like that so she flew on and joined the rest of her family...

Chapter 1: Hunger Pains

The next morning it looked as though last night’s weather hadn’t happened at all. It was a beautiful sunny day and many birds were singing, but the damage from the weather had hit the town and the Castform weather tower had been hit by lightning. It was a top story in the news...

“Good morning everyone, I am newsreader Ursaring. Today’s top story: the Castform weather tower was hit by a deadly lightning bolt. Over to reporter Crocanaw who is at the tower right now.”

On the screen, Crocanaw is standing next to one of the Castform who works at the tower. Behind them is the weather tower with a Machop hammering something into the top.

“Thank you Ursaring. So tell me Castform, when will the weather tower be operational again?”

“Well Crocanaw. The Superpower brothers have agreed to help us build for free which is quite good as we are low on money at the moment. So at this rate the weather tower will be...err...operational in a couple of days.”

“But can you tell us what the weather may be like in the time the tower is getting fixed?”

“Well...um...it might be...sunny? I actually have no idea as the weather is getting harder to predict by the day, soon, even with the tower, we may not be able to get a proper reading if the weather continues like this. So...uh...stay...indoors?”

“Thank you for that...um...heart warming summary. Back to you Ursaring?”

“Uh...OK...thank you Crocanaw. In other news, because of the boom of rescue teams it is now getting harder and harder to join, so if you wish to start a rescue team then you’d better be quick. Reporter Skiploom is at Team Constictor's base to find out why...”

When hearing Ursaring’s words Chikorita immediately turned off the T.V.
Charmander looked at her, he could see a hint of red in her leaf.

“Still annoyed that we have one member short for a rescue team?”

“A bit.”

Chikorita stood up and made her way into the kitchen, as she opened the cupboard...

“Charmander!!”

“What’s wrong?”

“We’ve ran out of food!”

"What!?"
Charmander got up quickly and ran over to Chikorita. Both Pokémon looked into the empty cupboard and saw the wood on the other side.

“Don’t worry! We still have the rescue money from my mother.”

Meganium, Chikorita’s mother, was a very successful rescue team leader. When she went on a great expedition she left half of the team’s money to Chikorita and her very distant cousin Charmander...but that was two years ago and Meganium had not been seen since last month when she joined Team Lucario on a huge discovery in the Skycolour jungle where the three sky colour Pokémon are rumoured to live. As Chikorita made her way to the pot Charmander got increasingly nervous.

Chikorita looked inside the pot..."Charmander, where has 1000poke gone?”

“Um...well...I kinda...used it to...to...buy that Lucario statue in my bedroom”

“Oh no! That means that we only have 400poke left! Come on you! We’re going shopping!”

She grabbed Charmander with her Vine Whip and hustled him out of the house
The two Pokémon made their way to the town, Chikorita made her way to the Kecleon Stall whilst Charmander went to the Felicity Bank.

“Why hello there Chikorita! And welcome to the Kecleon Stall. How may we be of service?”

Meanwhile on the other side of town...

“Hello and welcome to the Felicity Bank. What can I help you with?”

“Persian, does Team Go-getters have any money left?”

“Why yes, yes you have. Here you go, the last of it. 4poke.”

“Oh...OK...thank you Persian”

“Have a nice day!”

Meanwhile on the other side of town...

“I’ll take one Grass food and one Fire food please.”

“Very well. That will be. 425poke please.”

“What! But last week it was only 395poke!”

“We know! But with all the natural disasters. It’s getting harder. To get food. From other suppliers”

“Oh...OK...I’ll take one Water food and one Fire food then.”

“OK. 400poke please...Thank You and have a nice day.”

Chikorita made her way back home. A few minutes later Charmander caught up with her and showed her the 4poke. Chikorita was very disappointed but didn’t show. A few minutes later Charmander’s stomach rumbled, immediately Chikorita offered him some food. Charmander smiled at her gratefully

“Thanks!”

Charmander wasn’t looking what food he picked up and put in his mouth.

“Mmm...very nice and refreshing!”

As they walked round the corner a Lotad bumped into Charmander at high speed and knocked them both over. Chikorita picked Lotad up.

“Hey Lotad! What’s wrong?”

“Puff puff! Pokémon...Tiny Woods...unconscious...shell type!”

“Oh! That sounds awful!”

“Tried to help...couldn’t get near...looks troubled...need to find rescue team!”

Lotad regained his breath and told Chikorita and Charmander what happened.

"I was walking in the Tiny Woods when I saw what looked like a Pokemon lying unconsious on the ground. I panicked so I ran here, looking for a rescue team."

Chikoita frowned and thought it over.

“We’ll do it!”

Lotad was amazed! “R-really?”

“Yes! We’ll do it!” Charmander sounded confident but suddenly he clutched his stomach and cried out!

“Ooh! My stomach...it feels really wet on the inside!”

“Oh no! You must have eaten Water food, quick Lotad. Get Charmander back to our house quickly!”

“What about you?”

“I’m going to save that shell Pokémon!”

Chapter 2: Silent Forest

The Tiny Woods was a place that Chikorita knew very well and knew a lot of Pokémon here. It was always full of life and there were usually so many Pokémon around and Chikorita would normally meet someone she knew or chat to them about many girly things. Today however was not the case...it was very quiet if not a bit unnerving, normally the place was full of noises in this part of the forest but not a sound could be heard.
Chikorita was getting more nervous by the second when she spotted something in the tree...she looked up and there was Forretress hanging by the branch on the tree.

“Forretress!”

Forretress looked down and saw Chikorita.

“Why hello there Chikorita! It’s been a while!

Forretress dropped down onto the ground as Chikorita ran up to him.

“What seems to be troubling you my dear?”

Chikorita smiled, Forretress always knew when something was wrong and she never really asked how he did that but now was not the time.

“Oh Forretress! Where is everyone?”

“Ah yes! That! Well because of the natural disasters many Pokémon have left this forest in search of better places to take refuge, any Pokémon that do decide to stay are scared and, some, lonely. The problem is, is that no one knows what the cause is, so naturally they blame each other and have become very protective of themselves. Because of that, they all either stay away from each other not making a sound...fearing they may be found by someone else or they will attack for no reason to protect themselves, and that means they will attack anyone, be them friend or foe. I hear that this is happening all over the world because of the natural disasters. You must be careful Chikorita! Many Pokémon have become hurt or lost because of the wild Pokémon, as they call them now, over self protection. You may be becoming a rescue team but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be rescued as well.”

“Thank you Forretress! Can you tell me something else?”

“Of course! What is it dear?”

“Have you seen a shell Pokémon around here? I’m looking for one.”

“Why yes. Yes I have! Just over there!”

Forretress shuffled over to the left and because of lack of hands, he nodded in the direction he was indicating.

“Thank you Forretress! Thank you so much!”

“My pleasure, and be careful!”

He shouted the last sentence as Chikorita was running towards that direction Forretress had nodded to.

In the bushes not too far from Forretress, a pair of blue eyes followed Chikorita across the field.

“I must find that shell Pokémon before her...otherwise I will have no body! I’ve only failed once! That Gardevoir will pay!!”

With that the blue eyes disappeared into the shadow of the bush.

Chapter 3: Pokémon? Me? What?!

Chikorita made her way to the area Forretress indicated; as she ran round a bush she stopped suddenly. There, a few metres away, were three Murkrow. She had been lucky by only meeting Forretress but if they saw her, she could get quite hurt. So she decided to sneak past them and not be seen, as she sneaked past them she picked up some of their conversation.

“Ooh! The boss is gonna love dis! A free meal for us all!”

“Don’t get too cocky, dis one is still alive, barely, but still alive.”

“What if we...I dunno...put it back where we found it and steal 'is shell?”

Chikorita gasped...a shell!

unconscious...shell type!

(quotes will be like flashbacks except in writing form)

Chikorita stole a quick look at the Murkrow’s and their prey. One of the Murkrow had a red scar down its left eye and was looking at its partners, the other two Murkrow. On the ground next to them was an arm that was light blue coloured. Then, she saw it...the shell! Carefully she made her way towards the Murkrow. She would sneak up on them then pound them with Razor Leaf, everything would have worked...until she stepped on a loose stick on the ground and it made a nice CRACK! The Murkrow saw her.

“Intruder alert! Intruder alert!”

“No wait! Please!”

The red-scarred Murkrow walked up to her.

“What business do ya ‘ave in this area of the forest?”

“I...well...I’m here to rescue t-that Pokémon y-you have w-with you!”

“Oh really! And what makes you think that will happen?”

He started laughing manically then without warning:

“Wing Attack!”

He dived at Chikorita with his wings glowing; Chikorita closed her eyes and...nothing. She opened her eyes and all three Murkrow were on the ground very hurt, the red-scarred Murkrow picked himself off the ground with great difficulty.

“How...how did y-ya do dat?”

“But I...”

“Lads get up! Let’s get out of ‘ere!”

They all flew off a bit shakily; Chikorita was just standing there...what had happened? Still, that wasn’t going to stop her...she walked over to the unconscious Pokémon. It was a Squirtle!

“Excuse me, wake up, please wake up, hello!”

Suddenly the Squirtle opened his eyes and got up, he looked around confusingly.

“Where am I? Who are you...?”

Squirtle looked at Chikorita, then rubbing his eyes he saw her clearly.

“Wow! You’re a Chikorita! Bit big though. I’ve got to catch you!”

“What are you talking abou-?”

“And you talk! Wow that is sooo cool...wait a minute...Pokémon can’t talk.”

“Of course we can...I mean you can talk as well and you’re a Pokémon!"

“What are you...?”

Squirtle looked down and saw his light blue skin, three fingers and a shell.

“Pokémon? Me? What?”

Chikorita gasped! Squirtle had fainted.

Chapter 4: Butterfree's Cry

Squirtle moaned and opened his eyes. He saw a Chikorita standing over him and groaned.

"I'm not dreaming am I?"

Chikorita frowned, what a strange Pokemon, thinking he was dreaming, surprised he was a Squirtle. What was the world coming to? The Squirtle got up and began pinching himself in a bid to wake up. Chikorita facepalmed using one of her vines. She then used said vine to smack the Squirtle on the head.

"Ow! What'd you do that for?"

"You're not dreaming Squirtle, you are a Squirtle and you're in this world. Have you been near a Gengar recently? They supposedly make you feel woozy"

Squirtle shook his head, then he remembered something and accidently spoke it out loud.

"I'm a human..."

Chikorita gave Squirtle the most bemused look in the history of bemused looks, she nearly laughed.

"You're a...human? Oh ha ha, very funny."

"It's true! I'm a human! I remember going to sleep then waking up as a human. You have to believe me!"

Chikorita looked him straight in the eyes...she saw fear. He was telling the truth! Chikorita's mouth dropped open...this was impossible.

"What's your name then human?"

Squirtle opened his mouth, then closed it again. He gave a worried frown.

"I...I...I don't remember. I don't know my own name!"

He fell to the floor, looking positively crushed. He couldn't believe it, he was a Pokemon, a Squirtle at that and he couldn't even remember his name. He had to find out why this had happened. He got up and began to walk to what he saw as a small village on the horizon.

"Wait! Where are you going?"

Squirtle turned his head and smiled.

"I'm going to find out why I'm a Pokemon, there has to be someone over there who can help me!"

Chikorita gasped, he was heading towards Sporrow Village, no Pokemon who goes in there comes out again...unless you're a bird type!

"Squirtle! Stop!"

She rushed at Squirtle and used one of her vines to grab hold of him. He fell to the ground. He got up and was about to shout at Chikorita and ask her why she smacked to the floor but a loud shriek split the air.

"SPEARRRRRRROOOOOWWWWWW"

Both Squirtle and Chikorita looked at the village and saw a flock of Spearow rise up from it. A Butterfree came up onto the hill, flapping her wings in a tired fashion. She managed to reach Squirtle and Chikorita before collapsing on the ground. Chikorita gasped and picked Butterfee up. She stood on the ground and panted.

"We...we need to get to safety...the Spearow...they're...they're coming for me..."

Chikorita turned round and looked at Squirtle.

"Grab her legs! We need to get to that tree over there!"

Squirtle nodded and the both of them carried Butterfree over to the cover of the tree. After a few minutes or so, the cry's of the Spearow faded and Butterfree had regained her breath.

"I'm sorry for doing that, I was...I was just trying to get my baby back from the Spearow. My poor baby Caterpie."

Butterfree put her head into her hands and began to cry. Chikorita knelt down and spoke to Butterfree.

"What happened Butterfree?"

Butterfree sniffed and wiped her eyes, she stood up and faced both Chikorita and Squirtle.

"Me and my baby were on a walk when we were ambushed by two Spearow, they drove me away and took my baby captive. I tried to get him back by going to their village but they attacked me and chased me away. I don't know what I'm going to do now. They're so tough and I can't get to my baby...I...I don't know what to do."

Chikorita put on a serious face and wrapped a vine around Squirtle.

"What WE are going to do is get back your son. WE are going to get him back safe and sound. Right Squirtle?"

Squirtle knew it was impossible to resist. He felt bad that he was worrying about being a Pokemon. He could find someone who could help him later but at the moment, he had to save the Caterpie. He nodded.

"Good, let's go!"

They left the cover of the tree and made their way to the village. They heard Butterfree behind them.

"Be careful!"

Chapter 5: The Ultimate Cliffhanger!!!

The entrance to the village was deserted. Chikorita frowned...where was everyone? Then, a Pokemon made its way to the front entrance. Chikorita and Squirtle tensed but the Pokemon was crawling using small suction cups...wait what? The Pokemon came into the light...it was a Caterpie. He was crawling very fast and looked very worried. He came up to Squirtle but was so busy looking behind him that he bumped right into Squirtle. He yelped and recoiled into a small ball.

"Please don't hurt me! I'll go back into my confinement just don't hurt me!"

Chikorita frowned...this was the Caterpie they had been looking for? She expected a fight of some sort or a stealth mission. Caterpie realised he hadn't been touched and uncurled himself. He saw the two Pokemon for the first time.

"Wait...you aren't Spearow. Are you here to rescue me?"

Squirtle nodded.

"We need to get you safely back to your mother, she's worried sick."

"Oh...we should get out of here as soon as we can. They would have discovered what I did to the guards."

Chikorita frowned again.

"How did you escape exactly?"

Caterpie grinned at this, he looked quite proud of himself.

"Well, they had locked me in this room and I couldn't find anyway out. So, I used my String Shot and glued up one of the Spearow's. I took his key, unlocked the door and made a break for it! It was exhilarating!"

Chikorita smiled and was about to say for them to get a move had a shriek not pierced the air.

"THE CATERPIE HAS ESCAPED, SEAL ALL EXITS, RELEASE SQUAD 1 - 3!!!!"

The gates that were right next to Squirtle closed, sealing access to the village. This wasn't a problem as they were already out but then a flock of Spearow rose up from the villiage and immediately spotted them. Chikorita was first to react.

"RUN!"

They made no arguments. They ran as fast as they could in a bid to lose the Spearow. They kept on running but reached a big tree. They stopped for a second and wondered where they should go, This is when the Spearow dived. Chikorita turned and saw countless Spearow charging at each one of them. She closed her eyes, this would hurt...a lot...

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Its a good fic, I am not a huge fan of the Pokemon Dungeon series but one confusing thing I found about this fic is that pokemon never seem to have names like John or Steve to differeniate them. Other then that it was good, looking forward to next chapter.

[Shuppet Master]

So you're basically retelling the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon special in a way? This sounds interestig. Good luck! ^_^

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Human Squirtle

Episode 2: Exiting the Tiny Woods

Previously
Wannabe exploreres Chikorita and Charmander need one more member so they can form a rescue. They have little money left, little food and disasters all around them. But when a Lotad tells them of an unconsious Pokemon in the Tiny Woods, Chikorita comes to the rescue. Apparently, it's a Squirtle who used to be a human but can't remember why, he doesn't even remember his own name. Then a Butterfree asks for their help to get her son who has been captured. They find the Caterpie but are chased by Spearow. The second they hesitated, the Spearow attacked! What will they do? Find out...now.

Chapter 1: Fearow

The Spearow dived at the three Pokemon. Chikorita clenched her eyes tight, Caterpie curled up into a ball and Squirtle was rooted to the spot. He saw movement to his right but when he looked he saw nothing. The Spearow was so close, he could almost touch them. Then, his train of thought was derailed as a voice rang out.

"EMBER"

Suddenly, small fireballs came out of nowhere and smacked into the Spearow. They each fell to the ground and got up. Some looked badly burned, others were just hurt. They retreated but did not fly away. They seemed to be waiting for something. Chikorita heard the shout and had opened her eyes. Caterpie had uncurled himself. Chikorita's eyes shone when she saw who had used Ember.

"Charmander!"

Charmander smiled and walked over to her, his stomach pain was gone, yet Lotad was nowhere to be seen. Squirtle raised an eyebrow. It must be one of Chikorita's friends. Her was about to say hi but suddenly, the Spearow gave a cry.

A huge bird had flown out of the village and headed straight for them. It landed within three swoops of its large wings. The Fearow eyed the four of them and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha ah hahaha. This is what you all lost against? You're all pathetic! Stand aside, I'll deal with these worthless beings."

Chikorita stepped forward, she didn't look afraid...though Squirtle noticed she was shaking a bit.

"Who are you? What do you want with us?"

"My name is Fearow. As my name suggests, you shall fear me and leave this place before I attack you and wipe you out. Unless you hand over the Caterpie."

"What do you want with Caterpie?"

Fearow laughed again. He seemed to be enjoying this talk.

"You wouldn't understand. We were only keeping him so we could get some money off a ransom. His mother has quite a bit of money and we thought we'd have a share of that. But after seeing what he did to my guards, flying types nonetheless, I thought he could be a useful fighter. A soldier, if you please. That is why you must hand him over."

Chikorita gritted her teeth. There was no way they could beat this Fearow...but...if she could distract him long enough...Squirtle, Charmander and Caterpie could make their escape. She moved forward again and rotated her leaf.

"Razor Leaf!"

The leaves flung at Fearow. He simply batted them aside with a flap of his wings. He laughed again.

"That does it! You have proved to me that you want to fight. So be it. I'll get rid of that lizard first. Wing Attack!"

He swooped at Charmander and smacked him with his wings. Charmander went flying before hitting a tree. He fell to the ground and didn't get up.

"Charmander!"

Chikorita looked horrified. She looked at Fearow and charged at him.

"Tackle attack!"

She smashed into Fearow...but he didn't move. Fearow just laughed again. He then lowered his head, beak first.

"Peck attack!"

Chikorita cried out as the beak approached her, there was no way she could get out of this one. Suddenly, a String Shot grabbed hold of her and pulled her out of harm's way. She fell onto the ground and was released. She turned around.

"Thanks Caterpie, you saved me."

Caterpie grinned. Fearow was less then happy.

"You will be beaten. Wing Attack!"

With that, he flew at Chikorita, wing outstretched.

Chapter 2: Battle against Fearow

The wings smacked into Chikorita and she fell to the ground. She got back up and winced. That hurt way too much. Fearow landed back onto the ground and laughed again. Squirtle frowned, he had to fight...but what can he do? Charmander stepped inbetween Chikoria and Fearow.

"You won't beat all of us, you must give up now or you'll lose this!"

He turned to Chikorita, Squirtle and Caterpie. He winked. Squirtle smiled, they could win this if they worked together. He had an idea.

"Chikorita, Charmander, could you do a Razor Leaf and Ember combo, he won't be able to stop that."

Chikorita and Charmander nodded

"What about you?"

Squirtle put on a serious face and walked over to Caterpie who was looking quite scared. He kneeled down and smiled again.

"I'm going to make sure that Fearow doesn't hurt you, you'll be safe. Okay?"

Caterpie nodded. Squirtle turned to Chikorita and nodded as well. Chikorita and Charmander in turn turned to Fearow and stepped forward

"Razor Leaf!" "Ember!"

The two attacks headed towards Fearow and hit him. Fearow grunted and fell to the floor, kneeling. Charmander rushed at him.

"Scratch attack"

He scratched Fearow once but then he stood up. Charmander cried out.

"Drill Peck!"

He pecked Charmander whilst spinning in a circle. Charmander was flung backwards. He was bruised quite a bit. Fearow grinned and laughed once more.

"You are wasting your time! Now to finish you! Drill Peck!"

He flew at Chikorita. Charmander tried to get up but was too weak. Squirtle looked annoyed with himself, he didn't know anything that could help.He was worthless. Then he remembered something, when he was a human...he owned a Squirtle! Not only that, a Wartortle! He remembered the moveset that his Squirtle had used. He smiled, he could be of help. He'd seen other Pokemon use moves so if he said the move, he'd do it. Perfect.
He ran towards Chikorita and jumped. When he was inbetween Fearow and Chikorita, he closed his eyes and when Fearow was inches from him, he said it.

"WITHDRAW"

He felt himself become sucked into his own shell. Fearow's eyes widened as his beak smacked into Fearow's shell but But he couldn't push it back, as if Squirtle was pushing from the inside. Fearow stopped his attack but was hit by the spinning shell. He landed in a heap and Squirtle fell to the ground, still in his shell and spinning.

Chikorita looked amazed then had an idea. She smiled at herself, congratulating herself on the idea. She called to Squirtle

"Don't move Squirtle, I'm going to use you as a missile."

Squirtle eyes widened.

"Erm...Chikorita...I'm not sure that's a good idea..."

"Tackle attack!"

Chikorita ran at Squirtle and tackled his still spinning shell so that it flew into the air. It struck Fearow on the side and he screamed in pain. Squirtle came out of his shell a bit dazed. Fearow grunted and got back up. Caterpie fired another String Shot and yanked Squirtle back to safety. Squirtle got back up. Fearow seetheed with rage.

"You're not going to win, I've barely hurt myself. Pay for this with your lives. Wing Attack!"

Chapter 3: The Feeling of Achievement

Fearow began to headstraight for Chikorita. Charmander, however, stepped in and smiled. He had a plan, and a good one at that.

"Ember!"

He fired the ember at Fearow, but he hit it in the part which had been hit by Squirtle. He hit the area and Fearow cried out in pain, he stopped his attack and fell to the floor, really injured. Chikorita, Squirtle and Caterpie were amazed. Chikorita laughed.

"That was a critical hit. You knew to hit the area which was a weak spot. Nice one Charmander!"

Squirtle saw that this was nearly at an end and had an idea. He stepped in between Chikorita and Charmander and faced the two of them.

"Time to finish Fearow off, we both use our moves and hit him all at the same time. How's about it?"

Chikorita and Charmander nodded and the three of them faced Fearow who had opened his eyes to see the three of them step forward.

"Razor Leaf!" "Ember" "Bubble"

Each of the three said the move in turn and the three attacks hit Fearow. There was a small explosion and when the smoke cleared, Fearow was beaten. He lay on the floor, knocked out. The three of them smiled and Caterpie bounced with glee.


"Thank you so much! I can't tell you how grateful I am for saving my son. You are truly a great rescue team."

Butterfree gave the team a warm smile. Caterpie looked relieved to back with his mother. He turned to face the team.

"When I grow up, I want to be in a rescue team as well!"

Chikorita smiles

"Keep working on that dream, one day it'll come true."

Butterfree went into her bag which she wore on her side and took out three berries.

"I want to give you these berries, I hope you use them well."

She gave Squirtle an Oran Berry, Chikorita a Pecha Berry and Charmander a Rawst Berry. She smiled at the team one more time and floated off. Caterpie said his farewell and crawled away with her mother.

Chapter 4: Rescue Team Go Getters!

Chikorita and Charmander turned to Squirtle. Charmnader frowned.

"Thanks for the help you gave us but there's just one thing I don't get...who are you?"

Squirtle and Chikorita also frowned. Squirtle eventually spoke.

"It's...erm...a bit of a long story..."



Charmander mulled over what Squirtle had just said. Interestingly, he wasn't freaked out or the least bit surprised. He stood up and smiled.

"Well then, since you're trapped in this world, you have nowhere else to go. You can stay at our house for a while. I have to warn you though...there's a catch."

Squirtle nodded. It was true that he had nowhere else to go. These two Pokemon obviously liked him and he might need their help if he wants to find out why he became a Pokemon.

"What's the catch?"

Charmander's eyes glinter, even Chikorita was getting happier by the second.

"We want you to form a rescue team with us."

Squirtle was unsure. He wanted to find out why he had become a Pokemon but not to get sidetracked and rescue some Pokemon. He had felt happy when he had returned Caterpie but...

"I...I don't know."

Charmander smile dissapated but he didn't show any sadness. Chikorita stepped forward.

"Well, since you have nowhere else to go, you can come stay with us and decide in the morning. That okay with you?"

Squirtle smiled, he was getting quite tired so a nice, relaxing sleep would be what he needed. He nodded and Charmander turned around. He turned his head slightly.

"It's this way"


"Wow! That's amazing!"

Squirtle's eyes glittered, in front of him was a small house that had two rooms to the side. One was a pale green and the other was a light red. Charmander opened the door and inside was a room which had a table in the middle, there were three doors going off into different rooms and there was a kitchen to the side, there was also a T.V on the wall with the remote lying on the floor.

"Do you like it?"

Squirtle turned round and smiled.

"I love it, thank you so much, I'm going to enjoy living here! Where do I sleep?"

Charmander grinned and opened the door on the far side. Squirtle was mouth dropped open, his tail started wagging. Inside was a pale blue room that had a small waster feature. There was a bed of straw and a window. There was a small pond on the floor, it was calm and still.

"This is fantastic...how did you know you were going to house a water type."

Chikorita coughed slightly.

"We...erm...guessed."

Squirtle grinned, he hadn't felt this happy in a long time. Suddenly, he felt a wave of tiredness wash over him. He nearly fell asleep on the floor. He crawled over to his bed and lay on it.

"Get some sleep Squirtle, think over our offer and tell us in the morning. We won't mind whichever one you choose."

"T...thanks...Chikorita...Charmander...you guys are...gre...great...fr...frie..."

But he never finished, as he fell asleep before the end of the sentence.

Chapter 5: Decision

Squirtle opened his eyes and blinked. He sat up and looked around. He was in a room that was the one he had seen yesterday. He sighed and looked down. He was still a Pokemon, a Squirtle. But why? Why was he a Pokemon. Suddenly, his stomach growled. He looked around and saw a door. He opened it and walked through. He ended up in a room with a table in the middle. He recognised this room as he had walked through it only yesterday. He noticed that someone was sitting directly opposite him. He frowned, it was a Charmander. He had his eyes closed and didn't notice that Squirtle had come into the room. Suddenly...

"Excellent, you're awake. Did you have a good night sleep?"

Still Charmander's eyes were closed. Squirtle looked unwary, wondering what to do.

"Erm...I'm fine. The bed was quite comfy. Is there any food?"

Charmander laughed softly. The opened his eyes and looked at Squirtle. The eyes looked friendly and warm...at least, that's what Squirtle believed.

"First things first. Chikorita told me that you're a human and that you have been sent here by an unknown force and you have lost your memory in the process. I believe you as you don't seem to be a bad Pokemon. I liked the way that you and Chikorita worked together to help in beating Fearow. Don't get too comfortable with her...she's way out of your league.

Squirtle opened his mouth to exclaim and blushed slightly but closed it again as denying it would only make Charmander think it was true, which it was not. Charmander smiled.

"Therefore, I'd like to offer you a deal. You don't know where you are and me and Chikorita can help you with that. On one condition: you form a Rescue Team with us and...become the Leader because Chikorita made me agree.

Squirtle stepped back. Leader of a Rescue Team? That seemed a bit sudden. However...he still had no idea what to do about turning into a Pokemon and maybe these two could help him. Unknowingly into what he was getting himself into. He nodded. Charmander cried out in happiness.

"That's brilliant! I'm so glad you said yes. Team Go-getters is ready to Rescue.

Squirtle groaned. Team Go-getters. What kind of name was that? Still...it seemed Charmander was happy. On another note...

"Where's Chikorita?"

Charmander smile disappeared. He rubbed the back of his head.

"Well...uh...Chikorita's already gone to register our team. She knew you'd say yes. Let's go meet her."

Suddenly Charmander grabbed his arm and dragged him outside. He locked the door and began to walk down the path. He turned slightly and beckoned to Squirtle. Squirtle gave an unsure look then followed him.
At the edge of a small town, stood a small building with an eiree atmosphere. The two Pokemon approached it and they both entered. Inside was a small room lit by torches on the wall. At the other side, in front of a door, was a large pedestal where a Dusclops was seated. He looked impatient. By the pedestal was...

"Chikorita!"

Charmander ran to meet her. Dusclops moaned. Squirtle just walked.

"Did Squirtle say yes Charmander?"

"He sure did, now we're a Rescue Team!"

Chikorita grinned.

"That's brilliant! Now..."

She turned to Dusclops and bowed her head.

"Sorry about the wait but all three of us are here now. We wish to form a Rescue Team under the name of Go-getters."

The Dusclops nodded. He opened a book which was in front of him and scrawled something into the back of the book. He looked up at the new team.

"You're all ready to go. The Rescue Team Federation wishes to thank you with all the hard work you are about to commense. Good luck."

Chikorita laughed with glee, Charmander grinned and Squirtle smiled. They faced each other.

"We're a Rescue Team! Time to do good as Chikorita!"
"Charmander!"
"Aaaand Squirtle!"

"Team Go-getters at your service!"

Episode 2: Exiting the Tiny Woods

Chapter 2: Battle against Fearow

The wings smacked into Chikorita and she fell to the ground. She got back up and winced. That hurt way too much. Fearow landed back onto the ground and laughed again. Squirtle frowned, he had to fight...but what can he do? Charmander stepped inbetween Chikoria and Fearow.

"You won't beat all of us, you must give up now or you'll lose this!"

He turned to Chikorita, Squirtle and Caterpie. He winked. Squirtle smiled, they could win this if they worked together. He had an idea.

"Chikorita, Charmander, could you do a Razor Leaf and Ember combo, he won't be able to stop that."

Chikorita and Charmander nodded

"What about you?"

Squirtle put on a serious face and walked over to Caterpie who was looking quite scared. He kneeled down and smiled again.

"I'm going to make sure that Fearow doesn't hurt you, you'll be safe. Okay?"

Caterpie nodded. Squirtle turned to Chikorita and nodded as well. Chikorita and Charmander in turn turned to Fearow and stepped forward

"Razor Leaf!" "Ember!"

The two attacks headed towards Fearow and hit him. Fearow grunted and fell to the floor, kneeling. Charmander rushed at him.

"Scratch attack"

He scratched Fearow once but then he stood up. Charmander cried out.

"Drill Peck!"

He pecked Charmander whilst spinning in a circle. Charmander was flung backwards. He was bruised quite a bit. Fearow grinned and laughed once more.

"You are wasting your time! Now to finish you! Drill Peck!"

He flew at Chikorita. Charmander tried to get up but was too weak. Squirtle looked annoyed with himself, he didn't know anything that could help.He was worthless. Then he remembered something, when he was a human...he owned a Squirtle! Not only that, a Wartortle! He remembered the moveset that his Squirtle had used. He smiled, he could be of help. He'd seen other Pokemon use moves so if he said the move, he'd do it. Perfect.
He ran towards Chikorita and jumped. When he was inbetween Fearow and Chikorita, he closed his eyes and when Fearow was inches from him, he said it.

"WITHDRAW"

He felt himself become sucked into his own shell. Fearow's eyes widened as his beak smacked into Fearow's shell but But he couldn't push it back, as if Squirtle was pushing from the inside. Fearow stopped his attack but was hit by the spinning shell. He landed in a heap and Squirtle fell to the ground, still in his shell and spinning.

Chikorita looked amazed then had an idea. She smiled at herself, congratulating herself on the idea. She called to Squirtle

"Don't move Squirtle, I'm going to use you as a missile."

Squirtle eyes widened.

"Erm...Chikorita...I'm not sure that's a good idea..."

"Tackle attack!"

Chikorita ran at Squirtle and tackled his still spinning shell so that it flew into the air. It struck Fearow on the side and he screamed in pain. Squirtle came out of his shell a bit dazed. Fearow grunted and got back up. Caterpie fired another String Shot and yanked Squirtle back to safety. Squirtle got back up. Fearow seetheed with rage.

"You're not going to win, I've barely hurt myself. Pay for this with your lives. Wing Attack!"

Squirtle and Chikorita also frowned. Squirtle eventually spoke.

Next Episode: Static in Thunderwave Cave

[PancaKe]

Hi Rossymore! I'm enjoying your story, even though I've yet to start my Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team game yet!!! Your story could use more description and a bit more detail, but I'm enjoying reading it!

One thing, i've found it confusing when you edit all the chapters into one post, and then put them in several posts afterwards. I don't thikn you need to edit them if you've posted them after. It makes it hard to read

[Rossymore]

Thank you PancaKe. I've decided to post them up as one big chapter.
That way you can just read it without it being all in chapters.

[Rossymore]

This turned out longer than I expect. Next chapter won't be so long.

Chapter 3: Static in Thunderwave Cave

Squirtle blinked his eyes open. He sat up and looked around. Still a Pokemon, it seems. Ah well. He was leader of a Rescue Team and he wasn’t going to leave now. This was his chance to shine and find a way to return himself to normal. Just then, his belly growled. He clutched it and realised he hadn’t eaten much over the past few days. Chikorita had tried to explain the food in this world. It was a strange concept.

“You must eat something Squirtle. Here. Try some Water Food”
Squirtle looked down at the blue box and looked inside. There were lots of small brown…food…looking objects with blue spots in them. He picked one up, pinched his nose and threw it into his mouth. He immediately began to feel refreshed and revitalised. He swallowed it and his stomach felt full instantly. He was surprised when Chikorita took one and ate it as well.
“Wait…how can you eat them?”
Chikoruta smiled.
“Think of the type of food as a Pokemon’s type. I can eat Water Food fine because I’m a grass type. Charmander has a bad reaction to Water Food but can eat the Fire Food fine. I can’t eat the Fire Food but you can because you’re a water type. Understand?”
Squirtle frowned.
“I…I think so…”

Squirtle smiled. He thought he understood. Time to meet his team. He walked through the door and saw that Chikorita and Charmander were sitting at the table. They both looked anxious and nervous…all at the same time…how tat was possible, Squirtle didn’t know.
“What’s going on?”
Chikorita turned to Squirtle and smiled.
“Good morning leader. We’re waiting for the mail. It will contain everything we need to be a proper rescue team”
Just then, a flutter of wings was head in the background. The cry of what Squirtle thought was a Pelipper was approaching. Both Chikorita and Charmander got up from the table and bolted to the front door. Squirtle raised an eyebrow and followed them.

Outside, a Pelipper had landed on the mailbox. Squirtle hadn’t noticed it before. The Pelipper was talking to Charmander.
“Here you go a letter and a parcel for the rescue base of Team Go-getters. Enjoy! Pele-post!”
Pelipper spat out a letter and a parcel, both of which landed on the ground with a soft thud. He did a slight bow then flew off. Neither Chikorita nor Charmander moved, they were both shaking. Charmander turned to Squirtle, still shaking.
“S-Squirtle…could you open the letter. I’m too nervous. I’ll open up the parcel. Ember”
He spat out one ember that burned the ribbon surrounding the parcel. Squirtle made his way over to the letter and opened it. He read it out loud whilst Chikorita and Charmander opened up the parcel.
“To the Rescue Team Go-getters, in this parcel that you have received, contains one Item Box, able to hold thirty items, a starting fund of 1000Poke and three Rescue Team badges. They are all Normal Rank but the more Pokemon you rescue, the higher your rank becomes. Try and achieve the Gold Rank. Good luck Team Go-getters!

Yours sincerely Lady Breloom
Head of the Rescue Team Federation Headquarters”

Squirtle looked up and saw each of items in turn. The Item Box was like a bag that could be easily carried. There was a small brown bag which seemed to contain the start up fund and the rescue badges…Chikorita was holding one up using her vine. It was a small pink oval with wings on the side. Chikorita attacked it to her chest. Charmander and Squirtle did the same. It even attached to his shell. They all looked at each other and grinned. They were a proper rescue team!

“Pele-post!”
Pelipper landed on the mailbox and put something in. Squirtle came outside, food still around his mouth. They had spent the money on food and sold Charmander’s Lucario statue for some money. They now had 750Poke and were celebrating.
“What mail do we have Pelipper?”
“You have a letter from the Rescue Team Federation. It’s your first rescue mission!”
Charmander and Chikorita rushed out when they heard this. Their first rescue mission! This would be exciting. Pelipper grinned and flew off. Charmander opened the letterbox and took out the letter. He opened it and read it with shaking hands.

“To the Rescue Team Go-getters, we have chosen you this mission to do. We hope that you do it well. It is about two Magnemite who got too close to Thunderwave Cave. They became joined but were unable to make a Magneton. They need your help urgently. Good luck.
Yours sincerely Lady Breloom
Head of the Rescue Team Federation Headquarters”

He turned to Chikorita and Squirtle. He nodded.
“It’s time to do our first rescue mission. Thunderwave Cave isn’t far. Let’s go!”

“Squirtle! Squirtle!”

Squirtle opened his eyes. What was that? He stood up and looked around. He was in a field where the team had put up camp. Today they would make their way to Thunderwave Cave to rescue the Magnemite. Chikorita woke up and saw Squirtle, she walked up to him.
“Are you okay Squirtle?”
“I’m fine…I’m just still getting used to being a Pokemon. It’s great but…I don’t remember anything about being a human. You do realise that if I get a chance, I’ll leave this world and become human again.”
Chikorita nodded and smiled.
“Things might change you know. Now comeon, we’ve got a Charmander to wake up.”

Charmander grumbled as they walked. He rubbed his arm where Chikorita had used Vine Whip.
“You didn’t have to hit so hard you know!”
Both Chikorita and Squirtle laughed. They climbed up the hill and reached the mouth of the cave.
“Here it is, Thunderwave Cave.”
They entered cautiously; the air was charged was static. Had he had hair, it would be on end. Squirtle was relieved that was the one good thing to becoming a human…though meeting Charmander and Chikorita was nice too. They went deeper into the cave. Squirtle saw a Voltorb roll into the shadows. It looked terrified. He noticed other Pokemon as well. He walked next to Charmander and whispered.
“Why are all of these Pokemon afraid of us?”
Charmander nearly tripped.
“You…you don’t know?”
Squirtle pointed at himself, eyebrow raised.
“Human, remember?”
Charmander smiled apologetically.
“Sorry, I’m just trying to believe it. This world has succumbed to Natural Disasters. All the Pokemon in the world have been inflicted and naturally, they blame each other. Weak, timid Pokemon hide from those who are unknown to them whilst large Pokemon or big headed Pokemon attack thinking that the opponents are the causers. No one knows why these Disasters are occurring but they are getting worse. We had an earthquake a few days before you came. The night before you came, we had a thunderstorm. It was a big one.”
Squirtle frowned. Natural Disasters…could they be linked to why he was here? He didn’t know. They reached a deeper part of the cave and at the far side…
“Magnemite!”
Two Magnemite were joined together and looked quite afraid. Their eyes suddenly lit up when they heard them but they did the strangest thing. They shook their heads and motioned for them to go back. Squirtle frowned…did they not want to be rescued? He got the answer almost immediately when an Elekid came from above and landed in front of them. Charmander gasped. This Elekid was huge, it was near the size of an Electabuzz. The Elekid grinned.
“What are you three doing here? Heh, you look like babies from here. I feel brilliant since I’ve been sucking off power from those two. I’ve grown bigger and much more powerful. I might never let them go! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!”
Squirtle seethed with rage. This Pokemon was pure evil…using two helpless Magnemite to make himself stronger and bigger is just plain selfish. He should teach him a lesson. He opened his mouth.
“Ember!”
Squirtle looked at Charmander, he looked just as angry. The embers hit into Elekid but he didn’t seem to be injured at all. He laughed.
“Thunderpunch!”
He punched with such force that Squirtle was thrown back. He hit the wall and collapsed onto the ground. He tried to move but that had hurt so much. He slowly got up and then thought of something. He remembered when he was a human; he had taken down an Electabuzz by making it fall. The Electabuzz was so big that it couldn’t get back up again. He couldn’t remember anything else but it would work.
“Chikorita, use Vine Whip around the legs then use Tackle Charmander!”
The two nodded. Elekid raised an eyebrow.
“Whatever you are planning will fail! I am much stronger than any other Pokemon you have faced against! Hahaha!”
Chikorita ignored him and fired a Vine Whip. She wrapped it around his legs and pulled tight. Charmander rushed in and tackled him full on. Elekid gave out a surprised roar and fell to the ground. He smacked his head on the floor and lay still. It looked like his head hadn’t received as much protection as the rest of him. They all sighed in relief and approached the Magnemite. Chikorita reached the one on the left.
“Time to get you two home”
Just then, they heard a groan behind them. Elekid grunted and got up. He growled at the five Pokemon then began to shrink!
“What! I…I…I must get more power from the Magnemite. Out of the way small Pokemon!”
Squirtle frowned, not a chance. He stood in between the Magnemite and Elekid. Chikorita and Charmander did the same. Elekid growled and shrunk a bit more, he aimed at Squirtle and rushed at him.
“Thunderpunch!”
Squirtle narrowed his eyes and braced himself when suddenly, the Magnemite duo floated inbetween and took the hit. They were knocked back in Squirtle but seemed to be unharmed. Elekid was clutching his hand and wincing with pain. Squirtle looked at his team and nodded at them. The Magnemite even helped.
“We’ll help you since you’re helping us!”
Squirtle grinned, this would hurt Elekid a lot. All five of them stepped forward.
“Bubble!”
“Ember!”
“Razor Leaf!”
“Thundershock!”
The four attacks hit and seriously damaged Elekid. When the smoke cleared, Elekid was at normal size and knocked out. Team Go-getters had won! They all cheered!

“We want to thank you so much for helping us…I’m not sure how much more I could have taken. It was quite draining supplying energy and power for Elekid. So…we want to give you this.”
Outside, away from the cave, both the Magnemite had become separated once they had gotten a distance from the mouth of the cave. Magnemite handed the team a small bag. Squirtle opened it and inside was 500Poke and a small red bottle. He took it out.
“What’s this?”
“That’s a Ginseng…”
Charmander took the bottle from Squirtle and grinned.
“They’re supposed to be very rare and when you drink it, it permanently ups the power of one of your moves. But its effect wears off if you forget the move. Thank you so much Magnemite!”
Magnemite nodded and turned to his partner.
“We must be leaving now. Thank you again Team Go-getters and we hope to see you again!”
Squirtle smiled, he felt happy…very happy. He had managed to save two Pokemon and it felt good to see them both happy and carefree. He turned to his team.
“Okay you two, we managed to save both Magnemite and get a rare item. Our first Rescue Mission was a success. Now we will continue to rescue Pokemon until we find out the reason why I’m here!”
Both of them nodded. All three unclipped their badges from their chests. Chikorita stepped forward.
“Let’s do good as Chikorita!”
“Charmander!”
“Aaaand Squirtle!”
“Team Go-getters! At your service!”
