Pokemon:

Ranger Vs. Trainer

It's not a battle between two different pokemon wranglers. No, far from it. The two most unlikely of people to work together to save the pokemon world from the evils that lurk.

We know the Ranger to be the one to befriends Pokemon though their capture stylus and assist in their needs, and we know the trainer to capture and train pokemon to battle and develop each other. I, for one, found it interesting when I first met these two opposites, and I mean that. I am Professor Willow, what follows is the story of the Ranger versus the Trainer.

Ranger base in Willow city:

"Ranger Leonard, your hard work has raised you to the rank of 10, but there's always room for improvement. You were assisted by two trainers who were given orders to assist but you refused to let them help?"

"Trainers are all low-lives. There's nothing good about them. Capturing pokemon to torture them, at least as a ranger, we don't hurt them to get them to help."

"Your actions in this endeavor cost us to lose Riley, the exiled Rocket. Your personal prejudice has put this whole operation in jeopardy. How can we trust you to do your job and catch him if you can't let anyone help you?"

"I trust Rangers and Rangers only. Nothing Else!"

"You let you history blind you from the truth. You can't do it without their help."

"Watch me." Leonard walked out of the office with a scowl on his face. As he emerged, he saw everyone looking at him. "What?" Everyone but one female ranger went to work.

"He got away again, didn't he?" Asked Sam.

"Not now." Leonard replied.

"We could hear you both out here. Do you really think that you could get to talk to Chuckie like that and get away with it?"

"Since when is it your problem?"

"Just be careful."

"I don't need you to sympathize me." He left the building, got onto a Staraptor and flew off.

At the police station:

"I see so he refused to let you help." Said officer Jenny.

"Refused? More like kicked us out. He knocked us down trying to catch the guy, which he didn't!" said one of the trainers.

Jenny sat back in her chair. "Thank you, both of you are dismissed." The trainers saluted and walked out. Jenny leaned over onto her hand and thought of the report. I entered.

"Having a problem officer?"

"Prof. Willows! You surprised me. Well I sent two of my best trainer agents to help but they were refused by the pokemon ranger in charge."

"I see. The Ranger you speak of is a close friend named Leonard. he's this way because of the history with his brother. Don't let it bother you."

"It does, now I have no one to send to assist."

"I might have someone."

"Who?"

"He's been working with me to become a trainer agent and he is well deserving of it. His skills, tracking, and pokemon battle techniques make him perfect to work the case of 'the exiled Rocket.'"

"What his name?"

"Cameron, he can get the job done."

"Then let's see him in action."

At the scene of the attack:

"Ranger log: .0945 - I scanned the area to see if the perp left anything behind. So far nothing." He continued to search for anything to follow, but their was something in the shadows. He paused because he heard him coming. Quickly he turned and drew his stylus, but the shadow jumped out and had a pokeball in his hand.

"Alright, who are you?" The two stood there staring at each other with pokeball and stylus drawn ready to fight.

"Who I am, is none of your business."
