Chapter 2: A trainer's passion

Scrap walked through the door amazed at what he saw, Gary was in the middle of a heated gym battle his Rydon just lifted up a trainer's Blastoise and slammed it into a wall. "Oh come on!" The Trainer shouted as she returned Blastoise and ran off.

"Gary wiped his brow and smiled, oh Scrap you're here well come here I got something to give you." Gary said smiling. Scrap followed a little confused they entered a back room and Gary flipped on a light. In the room there were a couple of small cages with baby pokemon in them, all of them were baby versions of Gary's pokemon and more. "Pick anyone." Gary said grinning. Scrap was looking through all the cages until he found a small growlithe. "What's wrong with this one?" Scrap asked as he stared at it the Growlithe snarled a bit and tried to bite at Scrap.

"Well Growlithe here is a very special growlithe, have you ever heard of shiny pokemon?" Gary asked Scrap was nodding. "This growlithe is a shiny that's why its fur is more of a golden color than red and it's a little more aggressive." Gary explained

"I'll take it." Scrap said immediately as he let the puppy pokemon out of its cage, the pokemon immediately bit Scrap and ran off out the back door. Scrap ran after it Gary laughing. "Scraps going to be a good trainer." He said as he walked back into the gym to train.

Scrap ran to the entrance of the forest Growlithe a little ahead. "Get back here!" Scrap shouted zooming pass some trainers including Brian. "Hey Scrap." He called before he knew he was being ignored. Scrap ran into the forest when he heard Growlithe yelping and kids laughing. "You freak!" One of them shouted making his beedrill using poison sting. "Hey leave Growlithe alone!" Scrap shouted punching the kid in the face. Growlithe was on the ground in pain
Scrap immediately sent out Aron, "Aron hit Beedrill with a growl to lower it to the ground and then use headbutt!" Scrap shouted. Aron growled cutely and Beedrill lowered to get closer to Aron, Aron immediately hit it right in the chest with its head. The beedrill feel swirls in its eyes. "Jerk! Go butterfree, Rattata and pidgey." The kid shouted throwing three more pokeballs out into the field. "Aron get ready." Scrap shouted, Growlithe walked right next to Aron it let out a roar the three pokemon in front it all got scared and there strength lowered. "You want to fight to Growlithe use ember, Aron use mudslap on the other pokemon so the attacks more effective." Scrap said smiling. Growlithe shot out embers at the group of pokemon, the pokemon immediately took off running trying to kill the blaze that now was greatly increased because of the dirt and grass thrown on them by Aron. The pokemon fled into the forest setting the nearby trees and brush on fire. "Look what you did!" The kid shouted. Scrap already thought of this so he made Aron kill the fire with mudslap and he let poliwag out and made it use its newly learned skill water gun. The fire started to die down and it eventually stopped. "Growlithe good job, all of you good job." Scrap complemented as he made all his pokemon return to their pokeballs except for growlithe. "Okay buddy its either stay with me or go." Scrap said smiling. Growlithe walked in the opposite direction for a little while but it then ran back and tackled Scrap to the ground licking his face. "Welcome to the team." He said smiling and patting it on the head and then returning it in a flash of light. Scrap woke up the next morning in the forest; he scratched his head and cooked some breakfast. It was maybe an hour or two when his peace was disturbed by a rustle in a nearby bush. "Hello?" He asked releasing his Growlithe from its pokeball. "I have a dog and im not afraid to use it." He said motioning to Growlithe to light the bush aflame. Growlithe let out some small embers the bush slowly lighting on fire. "Hey you what's your problem I was doing something!" A female voice shouted from behind the bush. The voice walked from the behind the bush revealing a slim brunette , she had sea foam blue eyes and she was wearing blue jeans that had some holes in it and she was wearing a blue tang top. She was also wearing a red and black official pokemon cap. Scrap immediately blushed. "Im sorry ms?" Scrap said not knowing her name.

"My name is Rose." She said kind of uppity.

"So what were you doing back there?' Scrap asked.

"I was training my ponyta and my corsola." She explained.

"Oh you're a trainer want to battle?" Scrap asked grabbing one of his pokeballs.

"Of course I want to battle im a trainer aren't I?" She said smiling." Go Corsola!" She shouted as she threw Corsola's pokeball into a nearby lake. "Two on two okay." She said grinning.

"Alright, so it's a water battle you want." He said laughing as he threw Poliwags pokeball into the lake. Both the trainer's pokeballs flew back to them and they were ready to battle. "Alright Corsola use harden and then tackle." Rose shouted trying to tell her coral pokemon through the lake. Corsola then rammed right into poliwag knocking the small pokemon out of the lake. "Don't take that Poliwag jump back in there and use tackle." Scrap shouted a little agitated Poliwag jumped under the water and went to tackle Corsola, but in Corsola's hardened state just made Poliwag bounce off. "Come on Poliwag attack it!" Scrap shouted. Poliwag got a little frightened but tried to tackle Corsola again but it failed again like last time.

"You have to calm down, your scaring the little guy." Rose explained. "Corsola finish this off with tackle." Rose said as Corsola tackled poliwag out of the lake.

"What! Return poliwag." Scrap said frustrated. "Why didn't the tackles work?" Scrap asked placing his pokeball back on his belt. " Listen did you see poliwag it was obviously still tired from training or something you guys did and it was scared this battle looked like its first water battle and its still young I caught Corsola when I still lived in Johto and that was two years ago." Rose explained. "You drove you poliwag to its extent you should apologize." Rose added. "We'll finish our battle later rest poliwag and try to make it forgive you." Rose explained as she sat down on a nearby rock and fed Corsola.

"Alright." Scrap said as he walked back to his camp and released poliwag, he sprayed it with a potion and patted it on the head. "Hey buddy im sorry I drove you to the max I didn't want to lose I wanted to prove to Rose that im not some kid and that I can beat her." Scrap explained. Poliwag turned around and was trying to not turn back. "You know im not falling for it." Scrap said grinning. Poliwag immediately ran back into Scraps arms. "Alright let's show Rose what we are made of." Scrap said grinning. Poli! The tadpole pokemon replied. "Hey Rose me and poliwag are ready to beat you and corsola." Scrap said grinning.

"You forgot Scrap it's a two vs. two match so you still have to beat Ponyta after Corsola." Rose said grinning and releasing her Corsola back into the small lake. "Okay poliwag we have to get rid of that lake you can do fine out of water but Corsola needs water for a lot of its good attacks. For now keep it busy while I think of a good strategy." Scrap said. Poliwag ran to the shore of the lake and jumped in. "Hm what can I do, the lake is small for a lake but I don't want to get rid of it so, what can I do?' He asked himself as Poliwag swam at top speed under the lake Corsola was right behind the small tadpole pokemon. Poliwag swam under a small hole in the dirt and hid in it while Corsola rammed its head into the dirt trying to make the hole bigger. "Come on Corsola scare that little runt out." Rose said grinning.

"That's it!" Scrap shouted out loud. "Poliwag use water gun on the roof of that small hole!" Scrap shouted. Poliwag turned upward and shot a huge jet of freezing water at the roof of the small cavern making the ground above it shake and fall on top of Corsola. Corsola was forced to jump out of the lake which was now a lot smaller because of the dirt that fell in it and covered up the water. "Alright Corsola we can still fight on land harden and the use tackle." Rose commanded. Corsola sat there concentrated and then opened its eyes and rammed at full speed at Poliwag.

"Poliwag jump up and use tackle!" Scrap said grinning that his plan worked. Poliwag jumped up and dodged Corsola poliwag was now behind Corsola, poliwag charged up and rammed full speed into Corsola making the coral pokemon go face first into a tree. The tree collapsed on the pokemon and it tried to get back up but it stumbled to the ground swirls in its eyes. "I can't believe you actually beat my Corsola. But now you have to face my first and best pokemon, go Ponyta!" Rose said as she threw a pokeball a horse in mid gallop appearing in a flash of red light. "Alright Steel pokemon aren't very strong against fire type so its fire against fire, go Growlithe!" Scrap shouted throwing growlithe's pokeball into some tall grass. Growlithe small frame and built made it very hard to spot the fast pokemon, the only thing that gave it away is the gold fur color. Growlithe let out howl signaling it was ready. "Hold on." Scrap said as he pointed at Ponyta with his pokedex. Ponyta the fire horse pokemon, its hooves are ten times harder than diamond and it can almost flatten any thing within moments. "This is going to be a tough battle." Scrap muttered. "Alright Growlithe run around confuse Ponyta." Scrap commanded. Growlithe was running in the tall grass Ponyta following it with ease, Rose smirked. "What Growlithe your faster come on you can do it!" Scrap said trying to encourage Growlithe. Ponyta ran right in front of it, "Now ponyta quick attack!" Rose commanded. At top speed Ponyta ran right towards Growlithe the two collided right into each other Growlithe was shot back a mile or two and Ponyta stood there letting out a neigh. "Growlithe bite!" Scrap commanded. Growlithe ran at Ponyta trying to bite down on its legs but Ponyta just jumped out of the way, Growlithe on the other hand went flying into a tree. "Ponyta take away its advantage quick attack through the grass." Rose commanded. Ponyta ran through the areas tall grass the fire on its body causing all the grass to set ablaze. "Come on Growlithe you're a fire pokemon get in there but be careful." Scrap said a little concern in his voice. Growlithe jumped into the blaze with no fear, it ran through the fire its eyes full of determination. "Ok growlithe use a fiery tackle!" Scrap commanded. Growlithe charged and tackled Ponyta the little puppy pokemon was on fire a huge red explosion appeared when the two pokemon hit.

"Prepare for trouble!" Two voices said over a megaphone. "Not these idiots again." Scrap moaned as the song ended. "Hey runt it looks like you got a new fire pokemon, I think me and Jack are goin to steal your Growlithe and your little girlfriends Ponyta." Vicky said laughing. "Go venonat go Diglett." The two rockets shouted throwing their pokeballs out into the battle field. "Go Pony…" Rose was about to say ponyta until she noticed that Ponyta and Growlithe were both in one net above the air. "Scrap I cant battle I don't have anymore pokemon." Rose said tears in her eyes.

"I'll get em for you Rose, Go Aron go Poliwag." Scrap said throwing the two pokeballs; he quickly used a potion on poliwag. "Poliwag use water gun on Diglett, Aron use a take down on Venonat." Scrap said anger in his eyes who could steal pokemon even worse steal from a girl like Rose. "Aron tackled Venonat right back into Jacky knocking her down. Poliwag was having a harder time with diglett, the little mole pokemon had burrowed under ground and collapsed the ground under poliwag. Poliwag fell under a cavern and a bang was heard. "Poliwag if you can hear me fill the hole with water." Scrap explained. Poliwag did what it was told and filled the hole with water. Diglett floated to the top and Poliwag jumped out of the hole a grin on its face. The two team rocket members returned their pokemon and started to run. "Aron don't let them get away metal claw!" Scrap shouted. Aron ran as fast as it could, its front right paw was glowing when it eventually got up to them. Aron then released it blowing the two team rocket members into the sky deeper in the forest. "Good job poliwag!" Scrap said returning it. He then cut the rope and returned Growlithe. He walked over to Rose as she hugged Ponyta. "So am I a great trainer or what?" Scrap asked grinning.

"I have to admit you are very cocky and a little new to being a trainer but you do have some skill." Rose said blushing. "So are you going to battle Brock?" She asked.

"Yeah im planning on taking all the badges in kanto, Johto, Hoen and even Coro depending on my age when I get to that point." Scrap explained.

"Copier I want to do the same thing that's why I im in this forest to catch some pokemon, and train Ponyta and Corsola." She explained.

"Well im here to do pretty much the same that and try to catch some more pokemon but I haven't seen any pokemon here that interest me." Scrap explained. Rose started to walk back down the path heading to Pewter city. "Rose wait up I was wondering do you want to travel with me and try to beat all the gyms, because it's going to be lonely if we both travel alone." Scrap explained.

"Sure if you weren't going to ask I was going to any way, who wants to be out in the wild alone." She said laughing.

"Alright its getting dark so lets set up camp." Scrap said as he opened up his tent and set up a pot. He released Growlithe and made it light the fire he set up, he then started to cook some Ramen noodles. After the two ate the sun was fully down and Zubat were seen flying across the sky. "Night." Scrap said as he fell asleep leaning against a log of a fallen tree.

"Back to you." Rose said smiling as she also closed her eyes.

The next morning the two quickly packed up the camp site and started their way to the end of the forest. When they reached the end a kid blocked their path.

"Sorry you two you both have to battle me 1 vs. 1 before you two can leave." The kid said grinning.

"Come on our pokemon are tired." Scrap complained.

"To bad." The kid replied laughing.
