Chapter 15- Test Run
They'd taught him everything they thought he would need. After all, he was only America's first gym leader, it wasn't as if he'd be expected to face any really powerful Pokemon.
Jason Miller was the first of eight Pokemon gym leaders, specializing in water types. His most powerful monster was a level 26 Stiltrab, a 5th generation water-fighting type Pokemon that looked, and acted, like a violent, super powered version of a giant Japanese spider crab.
So when a trainer showed up requesting a battle, just like the dozens before him, Jason didn't expect much. He'd ether easily defeat the teen, or be moderately defeated. Simple.
He wasn't even bat an eye when the kid's data came up showing that he'd won a legendary.
Now he wished he'd just turned down the request and gone home.
As soon as Jason released his first Pokemon (a level 21 Poliwag) the kid had smirked. Taking a weird, customized Pokeball from his belt, the teen had simply stated that, if he survived the battle, he was to tell the Nintendo company thank you. Thanks for the weapon.
The kid's Pokemon was what finally cracked Jason.
Standing, or rather floating, at about 3 and a half feet tall, the creature reminded Jason somewhat of the legendary Mewtwo, a humanoid feline colored violet and white. That's where the resemblance ended.
From the creature's shoulder sprung a pair of feathered wings, spread yet unmoving. And, patched along the full left side of its face and body and the complete end of its tail, was cybernetic flesh, the color of surgical steel.
Its visible eye was blue.
The trainer's smirk widened. "Remember my request."
The creature's eyes glowed.
Later, when Jason awoke in the ER, with three ribs crushed, left leg fractured, one arm amputated, he was told he was lucky to be alive. The first words out of his mouth: "Call the CEO of Nintendo. I have something he must know."
