Pokémon Trainer Kojima
Ch. 2
Cole, Pulse, and . . . Pichu?
It had been a long and amazing day. Long because of all the crying of the baby Pokémon, and amazing because of the new addition to Kojima's team. Kojima had just arrived back home in Castelia City, the sun was setting and he was tired. As he entered his home he realized something. He hadn't introduced Hero to RK-9 yet. Grabbing the two Luxury Balls on his waist, he lets out his two Pokémon.
"Hero! RK-9! Come on out!"
In two flashes of yellow, red, and white, appears Kojima's Houndour, Hero, and his newly acquired Growlithe, RK-9.
"Hero, meet the new addition to the team. This is RK-9"
RK-9 looked at Hero, and Hero looked at RK-9. RK-9 spoke first.
"Grrowlithe!"
Hero continued to look at the Growlithe, as if studying him. Hero smiled and barked back, rather loudly. Hero had just accepted RK-9 as part of its pack. Hero barked again as if he was saying "I'll show you around", and started walking away, RK-9 following closely behind. Kojima smiled, knowing that they would get along. Kojima walked into the kitchen and prepared some food for his 2 Pokémon. A bowl of meat for Hero and a bowl of Growlithe brand Pokémon food that he got from the old man. He set them on the floor and headed to his room to pack. Why was he packing? Kojima was heading to the Kanto region tomorrow, along with his childhood friend, Cole. When he was sure he packed what was needed, he set it in the living room, and headed to bed.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
The next day, Kojima was ready to go. He was heading toward Prime Pier, where the boat to Kanto would be docked. The hustle and bustle of Castelia City never seeming to slow down. Kojima looked down at Hero, who looked just as excited as he was. Suddenly something or someone dropped down a few feet away from Kojima, startling Hero in the process. Kojima watched as the figure rose up, it was Cole.
"Hey man." Cole said exasperated and out of breath. Cole was a tall guy, taller than Kojima by at least 1 or 2 inches. He wore a black short sleeve T-shirt, a grey unzipped hoodie, and a pair of navy green cargo pants. He had glasses that hung onto his shirt and freckles on his face. His brownish blonde hair, which was usually in an unruly mess, was slicked back rather nicely.
"Hey Cole. How did you do that?" Kojima asked as he watched Cole's Beldum, Pulse, drift down. Pulse had a long body with a set of claws sticking out of its rear end. It has one large red eye in the center of its nearly-round head, which is set into a ball-and-socket joint at its front end. It has a short crest above its head, projecting from its body.
"Well ya know how Beldum's can levitate?" Cole said as he put his glasses on. Kojima nodded. "Well I figured if they could carry my weight, then I might as well make use of it. I couldn't teach Pulse fly, but this is the next best thing"
"Smart" Kojima said as he pulled out his Pokédex and pointing it at Pulse. The device spoke up once it identified the Pokémon.
"BELDUM, the Iron Ball Pokémon. It converses with others by using magnetic pulses. In a swarm, they move in perfect unison."
Cole did the same thing with his Pokédex, pointing it at Hero.
"HOUNDOUR, the Dark Pokémon. It is smart enough to hunt in packs. It uses a variety of cries for communicating with others."
Kojima and Cole put away there devices and continued on their path to Prime Pier.
"How are you feeling Cole? You nervous about leaving the Unova region?" Kojima asked.
"A little" Cole replied "But think of all the new things we'll get to experience! Truthfully, I can't wait to get to the Hoenn region. The bitches in Slateport are going to be a sight to see!"
Kojima chuckled "I'll give you that one. Hey, Pulse came from the Hoenn region right?"
Cole looked at Pulse "Yeah, that's right. Beldum was my favorite Pokémon, but I could never find one here in Unova. So when my mom took us to the Hoenn region, I just had to find one. It was my 10th birthday when I got him from a man named Steven, I think. Ever since then, Pulse and I had been inseparable. "
Cole and Kojima had made it to the dock. Cole looked to his left and saw an obsidian black boat with many windows.
"Is that the boat to Kanto?" Cole asked
"Well it's the only boat here. It most likely is, but I'm not sure. Let me ask this guy" Kojima said
Kojima went up to a guy with red hair and a red goatee. "HEY!" Kojima yelled
The man turned around and waited for Kojima to approach him. "What do you want kid?" The man said rather grumpily. "Well sorry" Kojima said. "I just wanted to know if this was the boat to Kanto."
The red haired man looked at Kojima. "Yeah, this is it. Why? You hitchin a ride?"
"Yeah, me and my friend here" Kojima pointed to Cole. "Here is my ticket"
"And here is mine" Cole said. The man looked at the 2 tickets and handed them back, deciding that they were legit. "Stay outta trouble, I already hate kids as it is" he said.
Cole looked at him funny. "Why do you hate kids? What have they ever done to you?"
The red head smiled rather darkly and said "You really want to know why I hate kids? I hate kids because a couple of months back one shot me in my thigh."
Kojima and Cole looked at the man surprised. Cole decided to speak up. "Why?"
The red headed man turned around and started walking away. "That kiddies, is a need to know basis. Enjoy your…trip" He boarded the dark ship and vanished.
"That was…strange" Kojima said. "I don't trust him. He gave off a really bad vibe."
"Yeah, me neither. We'd better watch our backs here. Things just might pop off." Cole said.
Cole and Kojima nodded, put their Pokémon in their balls and boarded the ship.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
The inside of the ship was . . . rather nice. Everything looked expensive, from the paintings on the wall to the chandeliers on the ceiling.
"Ok, we have room . . . 307" Cole said. "I think it's down this way" Cole takes the lead and arrives at the room. The room was pretty good looking in size. There were 2 large beds on both sides of the room, a plasma TV, phone, and another door which was probably the bathroom.
"So how long do we have to stay on this boat till we get to Kanto?" Kojima asked.
"I think it's like a week's sail. Cole responded. "Might as well make yourself comfortable. Pulse, come chill with us"
"Hero! RK-9! You guys to!"
The three Pokémon came out in flashes of light. When the lights dispersed, all three Pokémon could be seen.
"HOLY SHIT DUDE! When did you get a shiny Growlithe!" Cole asked surprised.
"I got him yesterday from grandpa" Kojima chuckled. "He just hatched yesterday "
"Dude! You're so lucky!"
"Pichu!"
. . .
"You heard that to right?" Cole said. Kojima and Cole turned to see a pale yellow mouse sitting on Kojima's bed. The tips of its rather large ears were black, and more black markings could be seen on its neck and tail. Its nose was small, almost like a dot and had pinkish colored cheeks.
"It's a Pichu" Cole said. Both Cole and Kojima took out their Pokédexes, and pointed them at the Pichu.
"PICHU, The Tiny Mouse Pokémon. The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked."
The small mouse Pokémon just sat there and looked at the two Pokémon trainers with a smile on its face.
"What should we do with it?" Cole asked "Should I try to capture it?"
"I don't think you should, if it's on this boat than it probably belongs to someone" Kojima stated.
Suddenly the Pichu started to cry, really loud!
"PIIIIIIIIICHUUUUUUU!PI! PI! PIIIIICHUUUU!"
BOOM!
Kojima and Cole turned around to find their room door knocked down. Behind the fallen door was a blonde girl that looked to be 5'5". She had on a black shirt with neon green stripes on the sleeves and a fluffy black skirt that stopped at her knees. Like Cole, she also had glasses. The girl had a sickly sweet scowl on her face and she seemed pissed beyond reason!
"umm . . . C-can I help You with anything" Kojima asked, slightly frightened.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BABY!" She screamed " GET AWAY FROM HER THIS INSTANT!"
"But we didn't do anything!" Cole and Kojima said simultaneously.
"LIERS!" She screamed again as the little Pichu ran up to her. "Did they hurt you Honey?"
Pichu looked up and nodded, then looked back at Kojima and Cole and proceeded to stick its tongue out at them. Kojima couldn't believe what this Pokémon was doing! It was getting them into trouble that they didn't want.
The girl glared daggers at the two boys in front of her. "So you wanna hurt my darling Honey, huh! Well I'll show you! Meet me in the battle arena upstairs! NOW!" She demanded.
Cole and Kojima knew that this girl wasn't going to take no for an answer, so they sighed and followed her to the arena.
"Why is it that when I'm with you I get into all kinds of trouble?" Kojima sighed.
"Are you sure that it's not the other way around Kojima?" Cole shot back.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
The girl, Kojima and Cole arrived at the battle arena. It was huge! It was about the size of a high school basketball court, complete with bleachers. The sunlight shone brightly through the windows, illuminating the whole room. The battle field that they were standing on was a rocky one, complete with rocks and boulders.
"So which one of you is going to get their asses kicked first? How about you?" she said pointing at Cole.
Cole sighed "Alright fine, I'll go. But just let me say that we didn't do anythi…"
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES!" She screamed. "WE BATTLE! GO HONEY!"
The Pichu sprinted onto the field waiting for Cole to choose his Pokémon.
"Alright Pulse, you're up." Pulse swished passed Cole and entered the field.
The two trainers stared at each other heatedly, as did the Pokémon on the field.
"I think I'll start things off" The girl said, finally calming down. "Honey! Use charge, than Charge Beam!"
The Pichu put its hands close to its chest and began to charge its electricity than shot a large beam at Pulse. That Pichu is fast!
"Pulse! Use Iron Defense to protect yourself!" Cole demanded. Pulse glowed white for a few seconds then returned to normal. Pichu's attack hit Pulse dead on but didn't seem to do anything. "Great! Now attack with Zen Headbutt!" Pulse's head glowed a pinkish purple and headed straight towards Pichu.
"Beeeelduuuum!"
What! Iron Defense and Zen Headbutt! But a Beldum is only supposed to know Take down!
"Honey! Quick, dodge and counter with another Charge Beam!
Pichu sidestepped the attacking Beldum and quickly shot another electric charge at it, again hitting it dead on and knocking it into a boulder. "PIIICHUUUUUU!" This time it looks like it did quite some damage.
"Pulse, we need to take this girl out! Try to finish this with Iron Head!" Pulse levitated a bit higher in to the air and took off straight at Pichu and an incredibly fast pace. "BEELDUUUUM!"
"Honey, attack Beldum straight on with Volt Tackle!"
Pichu began running; its fur shooting sparks in different directions.
"Pichu…..Pichu….Pichu…Pichu.., PichuPichuPichuPichu…PICHU!" Pichu's whole body was suddenly covered in pure electricity as it continued running. Pichu jumped and collided with the Beldum's Iron Head attack.
"PICHUUU!""BEEELDUUUM!"
The result of the two Pokémon colliding caused a huge explosion. Both Pichu and Beldum could not be seen because of the smoke all over the field. The girl and Cole strained their eyes looking for their respective Pokémon. When the smoke cleared, Pulse could be seen indented in a boulder, clearly unconscious, while Pichu stood, but seriously injured.
"ALRIGHT! IN YOUR FACE YOU JERK! THAT'S A WIN FOR KURODA AND HONEY!"
Cole was silent. He and Pulse were just beaten by some random girl and her Pichu. A Pichu! Cole ran on to the rocky battle field to check on Pulse.
"You did great Pulse. We'll get her next time. Return" Pulse changed into a red beam of energy and dived into its ball. "You're up man. Good luck" Cole said to Kojima.
Cole walked off the battle field and sat down on the bleachers.
"Hero, lets win this one!" Kojima said.
Hero ran out onto the rocky terrain, fully prepared to take on Kuroda's next Pokémon.
Kuroda smiled, ready to take down this guy's Houndour.
"Lovi! Show him what you're made of!" She shouted as she threw her Pokéball into the air. The ball opened and in a flash of white came Lovi, the Flareon.
