Plasma Corps. Ch. 3
"Welcome cadets to the Plasma Corps, here you will learn to fight the pokemon scum!" Their commander, dressed as a pirate, told the many youths standing in front if him. Obsidian did his level best from laughing at this guy.
'Why the fuck would anyone dress up as a pirate in the 21st century?' He thought, 'are they looking for an ass-whooping?'
As he thought this, the drill instructor dismissed them to their barracks to unpack their belongings, as he unpacked, Obsidian thought about how his parents took the news, their father had been glad that they had finally gotten jobs after graduating the previous spring, their mother on the other hand... Well, she might've almost choked her sons as they were leaving, that and almost flooded the house she was crying so bad.
He sighed, and looked at the bed he was given, no bigger than three-and-a half feet wide and barely six-and-a half long. 'This is gonna take some getting used to. He thought as he organized his trunk.
A few days later they met their squad, a guy with pale yellow eyes, short red hair, long brown pants, a black T-shirt, and glasses, he looked up from his book, and offered his hand.
"Electrum." He said
"Obsidian," Obsidian stated, shaking his hand, he looked at the book, "Huh, I thought King Ghetsis destroyed books with mention of pokemon being anything but monsters?"
"He did, I got this from our mutual friend because, I'm more of a researcher than soldier." Electrum replied, putting the book, which detailed the fall of the different Teams, Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, and Flare, away.
As Electrum met with Crimson, Obsidian talked with the other squad members. He came across a guy with topaz coloured eyes , a blue shirt with a white line slicing through a circle across his shoulder, he was in black shorts and had a red beanie with a white circle design on the side. He wore head phones and goggles up around his head.
"Hey dude I'm Topaz, what's up?" The boy said extending his hand. Obsidian shook his hand, stating his name, and started a conversation with him. Once Topaz left, Obsidian looked around the barracks for a coffee pot. Upon seeing said holder of the most precious thing to him, he poured a large, steaming cup and chugged it down.
Contented, he went outside to get some air and nearly stepped on a girl over a head shorter than he was, she had a close cropped auburn bob and green eyes. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black sweatpants. She also had what appeared to be a hunk of gold around her neck.
"Sorry about that," he said, holding the door for her, she flashed him a smile.
"It's ok, but don't let it happen again hmm?" She said in a sickly sweet way that made him a little bit put off by her but he wasn't able to get a retort out as she strode away.
At 5:00 a.m. next day, the platoon was lined up in three columns with multiple rows of three, Obsidian, who was in row two, saw that he was in the same team as a girl with blue eyes, brown hair in braids, wearing a grey short dress with a light blue transparent shirt over it, a green belt and white, grey and blue boots, and a bracelet, named Aquamarine, who was to his right and Electrum, who was to her right. Their squad was designated Team Nova. Ahead of him in row one team designate Team Eclipse, was Crimson, Topaz and a boy with lime green eyes, blonde hair, a red headband, hair stickingup like a super saiyan, wearing red sweater under a white vest named Supaki.
Behind Obsidian stood the girl who threatened him the previous day, her name was apparently Pyrite, in her team, Team Comet was Topaz and this guy Obsidian didn't know, Tungsten, he stood about 6' tall and was dark skinned obviously Native Unovan, he had long black hair tied in a pony tail tha reached the small of his back, brown eyes, he wore all camouflage, an obvious hunter, he also seemed at ease within the military compound. 'Must be a military kid' Obsidian thought to himself when the DI interrupted his introspection.
"Today is your first training session, you will all run a mile-and-a-half, then complete 75 jumping jacks, then 50 push-ups and curl-ups, once completed, your team will then take to The Gauntlet, a three mile long obstacle corse, at the end will be a bell, last team to ring it will not be eating tonight. Now BEGIN!"
That's chapter 3! Btw, I'm going to be using military terms so I will have translations for civies.
