Spike was up bright and early to check his mailbox. He looked through it to find the daily news, as well as a letter. He waited for Scar and Suzie to show up and read the letter to them, "BZZ BZZ BZZ. I heard about you from Caterpie. My friends need help. A strange electromagnetic wave flowed through a dungeon and stuck Magnemite and Magnemite together. It's not enough to form a Magneton. It's incomplete as it is now. Please, help my friends."
Scar smiled, "Looks like we've got our first real mission! Let's go!" before running towards Thunderwave Cave with Spike and Suzie.
When they got to the dungeon, two Magnemite were hovering outside, one of which said, "Oh, you must be Team Go-Getters. My friends should be at the end of the cave. Please get them out of there."
Spike entered the cave first, followed by his teammates. He was somewhat worried, this dungeon had lots of Electric types, and being a Water type wasn't exactly great for him. As they fought through the Pokémon who were attacking, they moved farther into the dungeon.
When they got to the deepest section of the cave, Scar said, "Look, there they are! Let's get them out of here." before helping the two conjoined Magnemite get out of the dungeon.
When they exited the cave, the Magnemite separated. The two of them cheered, "We're separated! Thank you so much Team Go-Getters!"
Spike smiled, "No problem, it's all part of being a Rescue Team."
One of the Magnemite handed Spike 500 Poké and a Reviver Seed, and then they left, happy that they had been rescued.
Suzie cheered, "Our first mission was a complete success! Come on, let's-"
Suddenly, their badges started beeping. Spike took out his badge and flipped it over to answer the communicator, to which he saw Sabrina, who said, "Team Go-Getters, if you aren't too busy, can you come to the HQ? We have a quarrelsome group of Pokémon who refuse to leave unless they see you in person."
Spike was a little worried about a quarrelsome Pokémon, he figured they might be getting into a fight. He nodded, "We'll be there as soon as we can Sabrina."
Sabrina sighed in relief, "Thank you Spike, please hurry though, I don't like to get violent, but these Pokémon are starting to get on my nerves."
When they returned to the Union HQ, they saw a Gengar, Medicham, and Ekans demanding to be let into the building, only for Ezio and Sabrina to knock them away every time they tried to force their way in. The Gengar looked behind him and said, "They're Team Go-Getters!? They're just a bunch of little kids! If they can be a Union Rescue Team, we'd have no problem!"
Ezio prepared to attack again, "As I told you before, you need a formal invitation to join the Union. Leave the premises or I will have no choice but to alert Sheriff Magnezone.
Gengar growled, "You're gonna regret this!" before walking to be eye to eye with Team Go-Getters and saying, "You Team Go-Getters are no match for Team Meanies! We're going to be the most successful and richest Rescue Team ever!"
Spike growled to him, "I suggest you leave before I get angry."
Gengar laughed, "Yeah right, like you could do anything to beat us!"
Spike sighed, "Guys, you up for this?"
Scar nodded, "You bet I am, nobody insults us like that!"
Suzie growled, "Normally I'm against violence, but they're really pissing me off!"
Spike jumped at Gengar, using Ice Fang, as he did, Gengar yelled, "Wait, what's going-" only for the ice to spread and freeze Gengar solid.
Medicham squealed in terror at her boss being frozen, "Come on Ekans! Let's get Gengar and get out of here!" before the two of them ran off, carrying the frozen Gengar.
As they ran, Scar yelled, "Cowards! Take this, Sludge Bomb!"
As Scar shot out his Sludge Bomb attack, Suzie joined in with Flash Cannon, and the two attacks sent Team Meanies flying, as Medicham and Ekans yelled, "Looks like we're blasting off again!"
Spike yelled after them, "And don't come back you no good punks!"
Sabrina smiled as she walked up to them and said, "Good job chasing those three off. I doubt they got the message though. I'd be careful if you run into them again. I could sense malice in their hearts, they're not a true Rescue Team. Rescue Teams help Pokémon to keep the peace, not for profit or power, those three don't know what it means to be a true Rescue Team."
Ezio spoke up, "Sabrina, if you don't mind, they were able to chase away fully evolved Pokémon with little effort. Perhaps they're ready to be appointed Normal Rank."
Sabrina thought for a moment and nodded, "I believe you're right Ezio." before looking to Team Go-Getters and saying, "I'm quite surprised by your strength. It's possible that you three are Combat Species, individuals that show greater strength than other Pokémon of their species. If that's the case, you're more than ready to be Normal Rank." before giving them a new set of badges.
Spike smiled, "This is awesome! We're not Rookies anymore!"
Scar chuckled, "Those Team Meanies better think twice before challenging us again!"
Suzie nodded, "Yeah!"
Sabrina giggled, "Well, since you're a Normal Rank team now, you'll be able to use the Makuhita Dojo on the first floor of the building. I'll let Makuhita know you're cleared for training in the Dojo. You three should head home and get some rest, I should have a special mission for you by tomorrow."
Ezio nodded, "Good luck tomorrow you three, Sabrina is... imaginative... when it comes to coming up with special missions."
Sabrina slapped Ezio from behind and said, "Ignore him, I'll see you tomorrow."
Spike chuckled before he, Scar, and Suzie headed home for the night.
While Spike slept, he was dreaming, and he heard a faint voice, but he couldn't make it out, and fell back into a deep sleep.
Back at the Union HQ...
Sabrina was looking at the night sky through the planetarium's telescope and sighed, "Still nothing yet... How long will I have to wait until the Millennium Comet passes? If my records are right, it's been 1000 years since the last passing, so it should be visible by now. I need to analyze the comet's trajectory to see if Xatu's prediction has any truth to it..."
