Chapter 8: As Charizard set off to give Team Jokers to Officer Magnezone, Teams Accel and Frost Forest, along with the rookie teams they were paired with came rushing back to the guild.
"Back already?" Raichu asked.
"We were told that the guild was being robbed, and came running back." Lucario said.
"Too late. Charizard beat them up in a flash." Shinx said.
"How is it he's still this powerful, yet claims to have stopped training?" Skarmory asked.
"That's Charizard for you. Never seises to amaze." Leafeon said.
"So, now that you know we're all okay, better get back to the jobs." Ivysour said.
"Actually, we had another reason coming back." Xatu said.
"Really? What?" Meganium asked.
"Well, Pelipper tipped us off about our guild getting robbed, but before we dashed back, he gave us two letters to give you. Not just us got them, it's a sort of emergency news letter, and the other we haven't read yet." Glaceon said.
"They brought us back here because we aren't allowed to do any jobs for awhile." Larvitar pouted.
"Why not?" Raichu asked. Lucario didn't respond, and just handed over the first letter.
"It says: Due to a disturbing report, no teams under Platinum Rank may do any missions. A team called Lunatics, comprised of Marowak, Parasect, and Houndoom, have been spotted in the area. These pokemon are the most dangerous yet and the most wanted. They are charged with accounts of several murders, and don't hesitate to kill any who so much as glance at them. If you see these outlaws, do not approach, take shelter, and contact your nearby police as soon as you can." Raichu read off.
"Platinum rank? I'd say Hyper Rank atleast, and maybe not even that!" Magnium exclaimed.
"I have to say, I agree with you. As of now, no team under Hyper Rank will leave here for missions until further notice." Raichu said.
"What? Not even we're Hyper Rank!" Lucario exclaimed.
"Lucario, these pokemon are very deadly. We can't beat them." Ivysour said. Lucario simply muttered his frustration.
"What does the second letter say?" Meganium asked. Raichu looked at the cover, then showed it to Meganium and Ivysour.
"We'd better wait for this one." Ivysour said, a strong hint of bitterness in his voice. A few minutes later, Charizard returned, and was immediately caught up on Team Lunatics.
"They sound like a friendly bunch of pokemon. Can't wait to meet them." Charizard said.
"Well, there is another letter here, and it's addressed to you." Raichu said. Charizard took the letter and scowled slightly when he saw who it was from.
"I know how you feel." Ivysour said, correctly interpreting his scowl.
"Read it!" Vulpix said eagerly.
"It says: From the Rescue Team Federation. Dear Charizard, we are contacting you as a last ditch effort to stop the rogue teams. We realize you are no longer a rescuer, due to your actions years ago that got you fired, but we are willing to let that slide and allow you to once again, temporarily atleast, resume your Master Rank position and help fight the rogues. Temporarily, of course, for you leaving your assigned area was completely out of line and cannot be forgiven. However, until the rogues are beaten, we have generously decided to allow you to come to the federation and recieve your temporary Master Rank badge. Should you choose to accept, we await your arrival in a weeks time." Charizard read.
"They act like they are the most generous pokemon on the planet!" Raichu said.
"The nerve of them asking for your help, but saying it like you are a criminal. They fired you for saving our region, and now are saying they are going to allow you to be a rescuer for a bit? Just until you help clean up a mess they can't handle?" Maganium said, outraged.
"How are you so calm after their attitude?" Ivysour asked. Charizard simply grinned, rolled up the letter, and burned it with his tail by throwing it over his shoulder.
"I'm retired, so I can do what I want, when I want. They just want me as a rescuer so they look like they are doing something to stop the rogues. Only, I'm not a rescuer any more because of them, and that is a mistake they will just have to deal with. I was hoping that would come back to haunt them." Charizard said happily.
"You're a genius sometimes." Meganium said.
"Thanks." Charizard said.
"I guess if they want you back, they'll have to do better than :We''l give you your job back for now, but when the hard stuff is done, you're fired again." Lucario said.
"So, how to deal with team kill a lot?" Charizard asked.
"Back already?" Raichu asked.
"We were told that the guild was being robbed, and came running back." Lucario said.
"Too late. Charizard beat them up in a flash." Shinx said.
