Chapter 4: Training Sucks, Even the Day
"Are you done with introductions?" A voice said. We all turned to the sound of the voice and there stood the short silver-haired woman with her glasses.
"Man, does she ever take those off?" I thought.
Chatters growled under his breath "J," and gave her a death glare. "SIR!" Everyone, except me said and went to a salute position. I quickly caught on and followed them, Chatters copying with me. J waved her hand and everyone relaxed, me following immediately.
"123,124, and 45 dismissed!" J barked. Sapphire and Ruby left quickly, glaring at each other, Geo however stayed. "45, you are dismissed."
Geo stayed and said, "Sir, with all due respect, I would like to stay and watch over your assistant's Pokemon during her training."
J looked at Geo and there was a long silence. I looked at Chatters and nodded him head towards Geo. Chatters looked at Geo then at me and whispered in my ear, "You owe me berries then." I nodded accepting the offer and he flew towards Geo.
"DIMISSED!" Chatters squawked, perching on Geo's right shoulder.
J looked at Chatters and said, "There you have the Pokemon. I cannot allow you to look at our training, 45."
Geo saluted, Chatters following him. "Yes, Sir!""
"YES, SIR!" Chatters mimicked.
Geo left with Chatters. I sighed. "So are you ready?" J asked.
I nodded. "At least it isn't a Pokemon battle," I thought.
"Good, you will be doing various training exercises and I'll be shocking you every once or twice if you are doing anything wrong and to help you endure the shocks. Understood?"
"Yes," I said, nodding.
*Four hours later*
I was laying down on the ground, small electrical shocks exited the electrodes. My breathing was difficult. I must have screamed about 6 times, got shocked at least 9 times. "Are you done resting?" J asked, harshly.
I slowly got up and nodded. "Well, you have a strong will," J mumbled then said, "You are now known as The Red Chatot, agent 378, understood?"
I nodded, and slowly saluted. "Yes, sir!"
"DISMISSED!" She said, and walked to the exit. I walked slowly to the exit, ignoring the pain.
"I think I understand when Ruby said Good Luck," I mumbled, "I'm definitely gonna need it." I walked to my room, and pressed the button. The door opened and I walked near the bed and fell on it. "I wonder how Geo and Chatters are doing?" I mumbled, before closing my eyes.
-Meanwhile (Geo's POV)-
"GET BACK HERE YOU SHINY BIRD!" I yelled, chasing CJ's Pokemon. I could have sworn he turned around and showed me tongue before flying even faster.
We crashed into someone and he landed in front of me. I quickly grabbed him and yelled, "GOTCHA!"
Chatters started struggling, until we heard a cough. We looked up and froze. It was our boss. "MISS J!" I yelled, standing up and saluted her.
"MISS J, MISS J!" Chatters squawked, saluting her.
"Great Arceus, this bird is annoying," I thought. Soon, J left and we both continued the chase. "ARECEUS DAMMIT! I JUST CAUGHT YOU!" I yelled at the bird, but stopped and asked J who was across the hall, "Uhh... Sir, aren't you training with your apprentice?"
"We ended 20 minutes ago," J said, as she left. Chatters must have heard her and quickly zoomed yelling, "CJ! CJ!"
I followed him. "How does CJ keep up with this Chatot?!" He stopped in front of his owner's door, trying to get it open. I chuckled, the Chatot was trying to turn the button.
"C'mon, open up you door!" I heard someone say. I looked around and no one was there. Wait, was it...? Nah, I must be imagining things. I walked up to the Chatot and said, "First off, that's a button, not a knob. Second, you just press it like this," I explained, pressing the button and causing the door to open.
The Chatot chirped in appreciation and squawked, "THANKS!" Before flying inside. I looked inside and saw CJ sleeping, even though it was 4 in the afternoon.
"Wow," I muttered, "Her training must've been rough." I looked at Chatters and said, "Bye, little bird." And quickly closed the door.
I looked at her door and sighed. "Looks, like we won't be able to hang out," I muttered, sadly and walked away. "So this day definitely sucks... I chased a Chatot around the ship and I didn't get to hang out with the new recruit."
I went to the training room and decided to clear my mind with some exercise, when I entered I saw something in the middle of the room. I walked up to it and saw a small green Pokeball, I picked it up and muttered, "A Friend Ball? Haven't seen this since I left Johto... I wonder if it's CJ's... I'll ask her tomorrow or something." And started running a few laps.
