This chapter's guest trainer brought to you by Nightshadegirl.
Training
The rain had poured through the night and Jason and Miz were practically water-logged. They had been up the whole night walking through the forest using a flashlight Miz had to see. The moral of the two had pretty much shattered in the night. The mourning had come while ago and with it and end to the rain. Nonetheless they trudged mindlessly between the trees with no sign of the road in sight. At some point in the night Jason had actually lost a shoe and now walked with just a sock on his right foot. His was nothing, however, compared to Miz's hair. Through the night twigs, grass, leaves, and even a couple of pine cones had become entangled in her hair. She had stopped caring hours ago and now everything her hair touched became part of it. There had now noise for sometime until Jason heard humming.
"Miz," Jason said, "do you hear that?"
"Yeah…I think it's someone singing."
"You think we—"
"found the road—"
"and people—"
"and food!"
Even through their lack of energy they ran towards the humming. They immediately came upon a small clearing. A young girl with shining white hair stood over a fire stirring a pot. The two of them ran up to her with tears in their eyes at the sight of another human. The girl saw them and her eyes widened in fear at the sight of them.
"Ahhh!" the girl screamed. "Forest zombies!" S he started swinging the spoon she was stirring with at them.
"No! Humans—humans!" Miz yelled when they got close.
"Oh, sorry." The girl said. "I'm a little skittish out here by myself, and no offense but you guys could pass for zombies."
"We know." Jason said eyeing the pot of what looked like soup.
The girl saw him and smiled. "You guys hungry?" she asked.
"Yes, please!" Jason and Miz said in unison.
The girl grabbed some bowls and poured some soup into them. "Let get some spoons." She went over to a tent in the distance.
Jason and Miz could not wait so they just drank from the bowl. Jason's eyes widened in surprise and he nearly choked.
"It tastes like clay!" he whispered to Miz.
"I think it is clay!" Miz responed.
The girl re-emerged from her tent. "How is it guys?"
"It's perfect!" they said in unison.
The girl had been kind enough to feed them and did not want to insult her. They choked down the rest of the soup trying to get the least amount of taste as possible.
"Oh…" the girl said, "my name's Danny."
"I'm Jason and she's Miz. Thanks for the soup."
"Yeah," Miz said, "so, Danny, are you lost too?"
"What? Lost? No." Danny answered confused, "I walked of the road to camp for the night."
"Road?! Where!?" Miz yelled.
Danny pointed over to the left. Jason and Miz looked over, and to their horror realized that they had not been moving perpendicular to the road but parallel. They stared at it dumbfounded.
"Guys," Danny said, "Guys are you okay?"
00000
Danny eventually snapped them back to reality. Once they back to focus Jason and Miz told Danny what had happened on the previous day. After they told Danny everything she pointed out Jason was missing a shoe, and gave him an extra pair that she had as replacements. After the shoes Danny and Jason spent some time getting all the objects out of Miz's hair. Afterwards, they all took down Danny's tent and packed up her campsite. They now walked on the road towards Shownee City.
"So, Danny…" Jason said, "are you challenging the league, too?"
"Nope, I'm competing in the contest."
"That's neat." Miz said, "I could never really get into that."
"I just go for straight battling." Jason added.
"What regions have you competed in, Danny?" Miz asked.
"I got started in Sinnoh, and then I went to Hoenn. I was in the Grand Festival top five for both."
"Sinnoh, huh?" Jason said, "Their league and festival are fairly new aren't they?"
"Yeah," Danny answered. "they started up about a year ago."
Their peaceful conversation was interrupted by a Butterfree shooting out of the forest and smacking into a tree.
"What the…" Miz said.
The trio ran over to the Butterfree to check on it. Danny knelt down next to it and looked it over.
"It's—it's dead!" Danny stammered. "What could do this?"
"Good job, Steelinx. Let's go find some more." An older boy, in his late teens, came out of the forest and onto the road. He was followed by an incredibly large, imposing Steelinx. He noticed the trio standing over the Butterfree. "Hey, if you guys are looking for wild pokemon to train with you're outta luck, I've taken care of most of the ones in this area." He walked up to Jason and held out his hand. "The names, Cain Bronx."
Jason smacked his hand away in anger. "You call killing wild pokemon training!"
Cain frowned at Jason's action. "Steelinx here is a tough cookie. Sometimes it is an unfortunate side effect when I train." He, said grinning.
"You want training, I'll give you training!" Jason yelled. He took off his bag, and brought a pokeball out that had a wave on it.
Cain smirked and walked over to Steelinx. "Fool." He said to himself.
"Meet my first pokemon and my oldest friend! Blastoise, lets teach this bastard a lesson!" Jason threw the ball into the air and the massive, blue-skinned turtle appeared.
"It doesn't matter who you summon! Steelinx start things off with Rock Throw!"
Steelinx growled and dug its tail into the ground. It strained for a moment then threw large chunks of the ground into the air. Most flew over-head harmlessly into the forest. One landed in the middle of the road. Another landed only a few feet from the girls. A third headed straight for Blastoise.
"Blastoise, Withdrawl!" Jason ordered.
The turtle pulled its arms, legs, and head into its shell. The rock hit directly, but bounced off the hard shell harmlessly.
"Danny! Miz! I suggest getting some distance!" Jason yelled
The girls picked themselves up and ran down the street to watch from a distance.
"Blastoise, Rapid Spin!"
The shell bounced off the ground and started to spin wildly towards Steelinx. It hit the middle of Steelinx's body, knocking it to the ground. It quickly got back up un-phased. Blastoise then popped back out of its shell.
"Blastoise, Water Gun!"
Blastoise opened its mouth and a jet of water sprayed out, hitting Steelinx in the head. It took the hit hard and was flipped on its back.
"Steelinx, time for a sneak attack! Use TM Dig!"
Steelinx's tail started to spin. It dug into the ground and quickly dug a deep hole. Steelinx then slithered in and disappeared underground.
"Blastoise, be wary!" Jason cautioned.
The ground started to shake furiously, knocking Jason on his butt. The ground below Blastoise cracked. Steelinx burst through the crack, hitting Blastoise sending through the air. It landed on its back a few feet away.
"Alright, Steelinx, Iron Tail!"
It slithered over to Blastoise as its tail started to glow. It raised its tail and started to beat Blastoise on the chest without relent. The turtle grunted in pain at the strikes.
"Blastoise, use your Protect ability!" Jason yelled getting to his feet.
Blastoise's eyes started to glow white. Steelinx raised its tail for another strike. It swung down but was knocked back by a white shield that covered Blastoise. Steelinx's tail bounced back and hit itself. It shook its head in a daze at the surprise hit.
"Blastoise, grab the tail and Seismic Toss that thing!"
Blastoise hopped to its feet and grabbed Steelinx's tail while it was still dazed. It took tight hold and started to spin around. Blastoise got faster and Steelinx raised into the air from the momentum. When full speed was gained Blastoise stopped and slammed Steelinx into the ground. The shockwave sent Jason and Cain to the ground. A long crater was created where Steelinx landed. It growled and slowly got back up.
"Steelinx," Cain yelled, putting on sunglasses.
What's he doing? Jason thought.
"Sandstorm!" Cain yelled.
Steelinx raised its head towards the sky. Its jaws opened, the wind picked up, then sand poured out of its mouth. A whirlwind of sand formed around Steelinx. The vortex expanded and the area was engulfed in the stinging, whipping, sand. Jason covered his eyes to shield them from the sand.
"Blast--coughcough" Jason choked on the sand before he could speak. "Bla--cough cough" he choked again. He concentrated as best he could; he knew Blastoise was in the same situation. "Use your Rain Dance, Blastoise! cough cough"
Blastoise raised its head to the sky and shot a large bubble of water through the sand and into the air. The bubble burst and water rained down on the area. The water cleared the air and washed the area of sand. With the air clear Steelinx appeared from the vortex.
"Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!" Jason yelled.
Two plates on the turtles shell popped open and two large, shiny, metal cannons appeared. It growled and two ferocious streams of water jettisoned out of the cannons. They swirled around each other and hit Steelinx in the middle of its body. The Steelinx groaned in pain and was thrown backwards into the forest, knocking over a large portion of trees.
"No!!" Cain yelled and threw his glasses on the ground. "Use TM Dig again, Steelinx!"
The Steelinx groaned and slithered into the hole it created before.
He's gonna use that Iron Tail combo again. Jason thought, I have to find a way to—his eyes fell upon Steelinx's hole. Wait a minute… "Blastoise!" he yelled, "use your Hydro Cannon and fire it into that hole!"
It nodded and quickly went over to the hole. It readied its cannons and fired into the hole.
"What are you doing?" Cain yelled, confused.
The answer became apparent quickly. The ground started to rumble again. The entire area quaked, the birds in the trees scattered; the ground in the middle of the road cracked and a geyser burst through. On top of the geyser was Steelinx being juggled up and down.
"Alright, Blastoise jump up there, grab its tail, and give it another Seismic Toss!" Jason yelled.
Blastoise discontinued the water. It quickly jumped up to Steelinx and grabbed its tail. It flexed its muscles and flung Steelinx to the ground. It smashed down hard leaving another long crater in the road.
"Now Blastoise finish it with a Skull Bash!"
The turtle angled downwards and rocketed towards the ground. It struck Steelinx square in the head. Steelinx let out a groan and went limp, going unconscious.
"Steelinx!" Cain yelled running up to it.
Danny and Miz came back from down the road and Jason.
"Way to go Jason!" Danny yelled.
Blastoise walked over and joined the trio.
"So, Blastoise was your first pokemon?" Miz asked
"Yep," Jason said, patting Blastoise's shell. "Good job buddy. Return."
Blastoise smiled and returned to its ball. Jason walked away from the girls and over to Cain.
"If I see you training like that again…" Jason said sternly, "I will do more than just defeat you in battle." He then walked back over to the girls. "Okay, lets get out of here. I'm ready for a gym battle!"
The trio continued down the road towards Shownee leaving Cain next to his Steelinx.
Don't think this is the only time you will see me. Cain thought, You will feel the wrath of my revenge for humiliating me.
