Team Chiray
0 ReviewsThe story of a rescue team composed of a Butterfree, her adoptive sister Pikachu who likes a Charmander with dreams to fly as a Charizard, and a child Eevee they take care of.
Team Chiray
Pikachu sighed in frustration, Eevee had run off again. "Eevee!" No reply came. "Eevee!" Pikachu was beginning to get desperate. 'Calm down,' she told herself. 'I'm sure Eevee is near by.' She was trying keep herself from panicking over the younger pokemon's safety when she heard a cry for help. She rushed in that direction, running deeper into the forest. The forest was dark and the weather unstable. It began to rain without warning and soon after the water started to fall from the skies, upset howls were heard.
Eevee still called for help again, less frightened now, as if he had seen a ray of hope in whatever harsh situation he was in. Pikachu found the child surrounded by unfriendly arcanines. She jumped towards the group, releasing her powerful thunderbolt attack that knocked out the three arcanines. The special band she wore gave her extra power in her electric attacks. "Eevee, are you okay?"
"Yes, that was scary. The rain was lucky," Eevee replied.
"You can't always rely on luck. Let's head back." Pikachu and Eevee continued their trip out of the forest. 'Next time I'll stick to taking him to train at the dojo,' Pikachu thought. At least Eevee would be safe there.
The irregular weather took a turn for the worse when the rain turned to hail. Eevee was protected by his weather band, but Pikachu still felt the effects of the hail falling on her head.
xoxox xox xoxox
A lot of walking and one oran berry later, they finally made it out of the forest and back to their team base.
"How did it go?" Charmander, smiling amused at Pikachu's expression. Pikachu decided not to answer.
"It was fun!" Eevee cheered with delight. "Arcanines surrounded me, but it started raining and that's good, because they wanted to breathe fire on me but rain made them weaker. Then Pikachu came and used the thunder um... thunder thingy."
"Bolt," Charmander finished for him.
"Yes, thunderbolt and knocked them all out, all three of them it was cool!" Eevee finished his narration.
"He ran off on his own," Pikachu shook the rain off her light yellow fur and curled into a ball in the corner.
"You know you shouldn't do that," Charmander petted Eevee's head.
"I know, but it's okay because Pikachu saved me." Eevee had that cute look of admiration like he always did.
xoxox xox xoxox
Outside the light rain stopped. The hail did not reach outside of the forest. "I want to go play at the pond now!" Without waiting for a replay, Eevee ran off.
"Remind me of when and why we became his babysitters?" Pikachu was displeased.
Charmander laughed in good humor. "He's an orphan and you thought he was cute and that we should let him join our team, that's how we ended up adopting him. Remember when he called you Pika-mama and he would call me Char-papa? He would call Butterfree aunty Butter."
"I'm not the kid's mother. I was thinking something along the lines of mascot when I said he should join. He's harder to protect than that Bulbasaur we had to escort to the top of Mt. Blaze. At least he paid a good price for it." Pikachu was clearly not in the best of moods.
Charmander shook his head. "Somebody had a rough day. You used to think all that was cute."
"I'm tired," Pikachu growled.
"Yeah, you should get some rest," Charmander wisely backed off.
The light yellow Pikachu gave him a curious look. "What is it?"
"You can always tell when there's something on my mind," Charmander admitted. They were close friends and noticed even the smallest differences in the other's behavior. "I've been thinking about evolution."
Pikachu immediately sat up. "You mean philosophical thoughts about evolution in general or that you've been thinking about evolving?" She hoped it wasn't the second.
Charmander knew Pikachu wouldn't like the idea. She herself had decided that she had evolved enough and would stay as Pikachu. "I want to be a Charizard. I've been thinking about it a lot."
"First you have to be Chameleon," Pikachu knew her argument was going nowhere; it was just to fill the silence while she thought of a way to talk him out of it. Charmander was the one who got her to start a rescue team with him and she knew just powerful he could be. He was probably ready to evolve into Chameleon and then into Charizard soon after. He was just holding back, and even if she felt guilty about it, she didn't want him to stop holding back; she wanted him to realize he was contempt with what he had and stop thinking about evolving.
"Evolution could be a good thing," Charmander wasn't sure what to say to convince Pikachu to be okay with it.
"So I shouldn't stay as Pikachu? Too bad because I'm not changing." Her electric temper started to surface as sparks formed on her pink cheeks.
Charmander instinctively took another step back. "I'm not saying you should change, I'm saying I need to change."
"Need to? I needed to change when I was Pichu because I shocked myself whenever I used electricity. Do you burn yourself now? Are you not happy? Does our team not have a good enough rank?" Pikachu argued.
Charmander shook his head. She could be so impossible some times. "Charizards can fly." That was his main reason for wanting to evolve, to soar up in the skies. He had always admired how Charizards looked when they flew and wished he could do it too.
"Fine," Pikachu curled into a ball again, this time facing the wall. She knew she couldn't keep talking him out of this.
"Is that a yes?" Charmander asked. "We'll still be best friends. I'll even give you a ride up in the clouds."
"Hopefully you'll still fit in the door," Pikachu replied coldly.
Charmander sighed. That was Pikachu, stubborn to the end. He thoughtfully looked towards the doorframe. He would have to remember to duck when entering when he became Charizard. He headed off to Luminous Cave.
xoxox xox xoxox
Upon his arrival Charmander found Eevee splashing around and annoying the other pokemon. "Eevee!"
Eevee could tell by Charmander's tone of voice and the flames that threatened to escape from his mouth, that he did not approve of this behavior. The little pokemon looked sad, "I'm sorry." He was too cute to stay mad at and he knew it.
"Don't do that again," Charmander tried to sound serious, but he couldn't help it but to pet the smaller pokemon's head and smile. Eevee also smiled and continued playing as energetic as ever. Charmander breathed deeply and entered the cave. He would come out as a new pokemon.

Pikachu sat near the cliffs looking into the distance when Butterfree landed near, "Pikachu."
The light yellow pokemon snapped out of her daze. "Butterfree, I didn't hear you coming."
"You appeared to be lost in thought. What's up?" Butterfree asked.
"Charmander wants to evolve and I couldn't talk him out of it this time," Pikachu frowned.
"Is it that bad?" Butterfree had received Pikachu's full support and encouragement during her evolution.
"He won't stop at Charmeleon. He wants to become Charizard. We'll be even more different then. It's not that I'm against evolution. When I was Pichu, I could think of nothing more. I just can't imagine going on missions with a big Charizard instead of Charmander or even Charmeleon." Pikachu explained.
"Wouldn't you just love a big strong handsome Charizard? He could even fly you around. You can ride him and come to the skies with me." Butterfree tried to be optimistic.
"So you can say you're just flying around with friends and stalk that Venomoth you like?" Pikachu asked.
"Maybe," Butterfree looked away. Pikachu could have sworn she saw her blush. Although she was a Butterfree she had grown up with a family of pikachus. Later, she and Pikachu traveled far away, catching a ride from a friendly Lapras. They met a Charmander who wanted to start a rescue team and the three of them became the first official members.
"I don't know what will happen, but it doesn't matter. I'm here for the rescue team and regardless of what Charmander, or Charmeleon, does, I'll keep going on missions." Pikachu assured.
Butterfree wasn't sure what to say to that. "You'll get used to the change, it won't be so bad." Pikachu remained quiet.
"Pikachu, Butterfree!" A familiar voice called. Both girls turned to look and saw an unfamiliar pokemon. "What do you think? Awesome right? I just came back from Luminous Cave!" Charmeleon had evolved from Charmander.
"We're going to play," Eevee reminded him impatiently.
"Yes, I told Eevee I would take him to the plains to play. Why don't we all go?" Charmeleon kept looking at Pikachu, wondering if she was angry at him. He always tried to think of a possible reason for her not wanting him to evolve, but always came up empty.
"Sounds fun, right Pikachu?" Butterfree encouraged.
"Alright, let's go," Pikachu didn't sound too excited.
xoxox xox xoxox
Eevee was the first to arrive at the plains south of their base, not that it was too far anyway. There he spotted a Rattata. "You're a Rattata, right?"
"Yup, and you're kind of small for a flareon," Rattata looked at him curiously.
"I'm still an eevee, but one day, I'll be... I don't know, I'm not sure what I want to evolve into."
"You still have time to think," Rattata replied.
"Eevee you should wait up, it's not nice to run ahead like that," Butterfree was the next to arrive. Eevee was certainly energetic. She had to make sure he never got his paws on her stamina band or that may make him even more hyper.
Changing the subject with the most adorable expression, Eevee announced, "I made a new friend!"
Butterfree looked towards the young Rattata, who appeared to be quite happy that Eevee had called her his friend. "It's very nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too," Rattata smiled.
"Hey Rattata let's play tag, I'll even volunteer to be it first," Eevee offered.
Rattata's face lit up with joy. "Really? Okay then, you're it!" The two younger pokemon ran off to play.
xoxox xox xoxox
Charmeleon and Pikachu were still making their way to the plains and Pikachu was walking quite slowly. "C'mon Pikachu, I'm sure Eevee and Butterfree are already there," Charmeleon called. Pikachu ignored him and continued at her uncharacteristically slow pace. "Are you mad at me?" He slowed down to walk beside her and she simply looked away.
'Get used to not liking him,' Pikachu told herself. 'He'll be so different, there's no way it'll work out, so get used to it.'
"Why won't you even look at me? Am I that hideous as a Charmeleon? Pikachu!" He stood in front of her, blocking her path until she looked up.
He was still handsome in her eyes, maybe even more so as a Charmeleon. She had always been a bit taller, more so if you count the ears. Now she had to get used to looking up at his face, since he had grown a few inches taller than her. His eyes appeared to be a deeper shade of blue, but they still held the same glow. It was like Pikachu had gone away on vacation and returned to find her childhood crush had grown up, but he was still the same on the inside, still charming. If her cheeks were not already pink, they would have turned pink.
He smiled seeing that at least she stopped refusing to look at him. "C'mon, let's not leave them waiting," Pikachu nodded and followed Charmeleon to the plains where they watched the younger Pokemon play and enjoyed the peace of the afternoon.
"Charmeleon, why is it that you want to fly?" Pikachu asked.
"I thought it would be cool, don't you think so? When I'm a Charizard I can give you a ride," Charmeleon replied.
"I don't want one," Pikachu pouted, crossed her arms and looked away.
"But I thought you liked flying. When ever a flying pokemon big enough to carry others comes to the village and offers us rides, you're always the first in line," Charmeleon reminded her.
"Raichu's aren't that big, even if I evolved, we'd be so different," Pikachu revealed her true worries.
"We're already different; you're a super powerful pikachu and I'm just an average charmeleon. You can even keep up with highly evolved pokemon. You're always the strongest on the team and you've won at all the trainings in the dojo. I always fail at the water dojo because I'm a fire type, but you were even able to beat a Ryhorn the other day without using electricity. I couldn't have won against him, even with fire. I just wanted to give you something to be happy about... Forget it, I'm rambling," Charmeleon looked sad.
"Something to be happy about? I didn't think we were that different, I think we're very similar as we are. We're the same as we are now," Pikachu got up and walked away. "I'm going for a little walk, see you later."
After Pikachu left, Butterfree landed near Charmeleon. "Not that I was eavesdropping or anything, I just overheard. Why don't you simply tell her how you feel instead of settling for having an excuse to be near her? Isn't that what you were trying to do?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Charmeleon denied.
"I think you do, just because you're already too red to blush doesn't mean you can hide it," Butterfree insisted.
"Fine, I admit it. I know that one day she'll find someone she likes. They all like her because she's powerful, but I'm not convinced they appreciate her enough. It's okay as long as she's happy, I guess... I just want to be there too. That's why if I can fly, I'll have an excuse to keep her to myself, even if it's jut for a little while, up in the sky. That's my only reason evolve," Charmeleon revealed.
"Who are you talking about?" A familiar voice asked.
Charmeleon slowly turned around to find Pikachu right behind him. "You're back!" Charmeleon had confessed by accident.
"I was only going for a short walk, so who is it? Anyone I know?" Pikachu insisted on her question.
Unsure, Charmeleon looked to Butterfree who nodded reassuring, then he looked at Pikachu, "you."
