Chapter 2: Trainers
---

"You guys, this is training, not an all-star Super Smash Brothers Melee deathmatch." Ramza sighed.

For Cancer and Gemini just pulled out all their stops and laid waste to each other. No to mention completely destruct the area they were fighting in. He was pretty sure he saw Aries eating a fried Pidgey and a frozen Rattata. Right now, Cancer and Gemini were resting up while Aries scrambled around trying to catch butterflies.

"You guys have to try and mutilate each other everytime you train don't you?" Ramza said disaprovingly.

"It's not my fault! He deliberately tries to engulf me in flames!" Gemini shrieked.

Truthfully, Cancer was still bitter about the accident, even though it was just a hour ago and that he had revenge by painfully kicking Gemini where it hurts. Ramza couldn't help but noticed that Gemini had a higher octave to his voice by the end.

About the battle though, Gemini wasn't nearly as lucky, he got charred, slashed, scraped, burned, blasted, blowed and pissed on. It was amazing poor Gemini was still concious and alive.

"Look Cancer, I think you've hurt him enough. If this keeps going on, you're gonna kill him."

Unknown to everybody, Aries was approaching the three youngsters with a mouthful of dirt. The evil glint in the young pokemon's eyes were reason enough to get ready to escape.

"Cancer, you've got to learn not to hold grudg... AHHHHH!!!"

For Aries had shoved a mound of dirt into the neck of his clothes, also in the dirt was a Sentret, scurrying around inside Ramza's clothes.

"GET IT OUT!!! GET IT OUT!!!! GET IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ramza was doing what was inmistakebly an Irish jig.

The pokemon stared.

Then a horde of Rattatas ran over him.

The pokemon stared.

Then what was unmistakebly a Team Rocket Grunt trampled him.

The pokemon stared.

Officer Jenny rode over him on the road, screaming her head off at the Grunt.

The pokemon stared.

A kid with a Pikachu ran over him, heading towards the Pokecenter.

The pokemon stared.

A girl with orange-red hair stomped over him carrying a ruined bicycle.

The pokemon couldn't help it, they laughed.

Ramza and his team of pokemon walked the road to Viridian Forest. It was said that a lot of bug pokemon were known to be around the area. However, he had Cancer and Gemini, so he wasn't worried, the only part that worried him was the trail.

"This map is crap!" Ramza shouted angrily.

Indeed, the team aren't even at the forest yet, and they were already lost.

"... That's a map of Vermillion City." Gemini commented.

"I knew that guy was lying." Ramza muttered.

They were on Route 2, the way from Viridian City to Viridian Forest and vice versa.

"Hey, ain't that the entrance?" Cancer asked.

Ten feet away, nothing blocking it, was the entrance to Viridian Forest.

Ramza sweatdropped.

"A Beedril!" Aries screamed.

Ramza and the other pokemon turned around and, immediatly, saw the bee pokemon with three stingers.

"Cancer! Go!" Ramza ordered.


What kind of Pok¨¦mon are you?
How do you do the things you do?


Cancer jumped straight into battle and emitted a low growl, the Breedril's red eyes glittered.


Share with me your secrets deep inside
What kind of Pok¨¦mon are you?


"Cancer! Use Agility, Mist and Acid Armor!"

Cancer became visibly faster and started circling the Beedril while spraying out a thick, fine mist and turning himself into liquid form.


Are you loyal through and through?
Do you have a heart that's true?


The Beedril's eyes flashed angrily and started shoot stingers everywhere in the mist that Cancer created.


What kind of Pok¨¦mon are you?


"Cancer! Sunny Day!"

The sky above the battle changed, all the clouds blew away and the sun shown brightly through the thick branches of the dark forest.


Take your normal type like Jigglypuff
Against the ghostly Gengar the battle's real tough


The Beedril took the chance and started firing away it's stingers at the direction the light shone from.

"Cancer! Get out of there and use Cremation!"

Cancer sprinted out of the mist, and started charging up, using the power of the sun.


Yeah Thunderbolt's a great electric attack
'Til you get ground down by a Marowak


Then, the Beedril charged out of the mist and charged straight at Houndour with a Take Down attack, which surprised everybody.


What kind of Pok¨¦mon are you?
How do you do the things you do?


Cancer abandoned charging up and leapt behind a tree.


Don't ya bug me with a Caterpie
For a flying type the win's easy


"Cancer! Hide yourself with Cloak!"


Good luck with Muk and it's poison gas
Make one wrong move and it'll kick your grass


Cancer hid within the shadows of the trees, becoming one with them.


What kind of Pok¨¦mon are you?
How do you do the things you do?


"Fire Blast!"


Share with me your secrets deep inside
What kind of Pok¨¦mon are you?


The Beedril looked frightened at the prospect of being deep fried and rushed toward Cancer.


Are you loyal through and through?
Do you have a heart that's true?


It became a battle of speed, whoever did it first, Cancer unleashing the Fire Blast attack or the Beedril reaching him first.


What kind of Pok¨¦mon are you?


It was too late for the Beedril, the flames that blazed in Cancer's mouth reached an ultimate degree, the power was unleashed. The blast of fire energy was straight in the Beedril's path, and the Beedril could not go off the course that it had started. The chinese character that stood for 'Fire' and 'Big' were fired constecutively, repeatly, one after another.

The repeated power did not waver once, it struck once and again, in the same exact part, each shot took another chunk of the Beedril off, also, it was noteworthy to mention that the Beedril was afraid of fire, and that Sunny Day was in effect.

The charred chunk that was once Beedril fell to the floor.

"Ewww... I think I've lost my appetite." Aries groaned.
