Pokémon Trainer Hero
Chapter 97: New Two
One day in class 1-A, Gar was lecturing on the Egg groups of Pokemon and telling them what each meant and how each one fell into it. He only got choked up and embarrassed when he had to explain how the Egg groups were more of a generalization rather than defined biology when someone made the comparison that a Skitty and Wailord are in the same group and thus could make babies. He also explained that even though the Human Egg groups exist, humans and Pokemon can't procreate. He compared it to humans and animals and asked if any of them would like to do the sideways tengo with a monkey. That shut those kinds of questions up really fast.
"And that finishes our lesson on-.", Gar began to say, turning away from the chalkboard until something caught his attention.
Taking note of this, Izuku asked, "Um, Gar, what's wrong?"
Gar said nothing and walked up to the front door, staring at it silently for several seconds, almost expecting something to pop out like in a horror film, but nothing did. Gar sighed while rubbing his head and said in relief, "Strange. I could've sworn I heard something. Must be my imagination-."
As he said this, the door swung open and slammed into Gar, pinning him against the wall! There, five individuals came rushing in where one of them, who was very fat, exclaimed before a camera, "What is up, my dudes and dudettes! We are here at the one and only UA high school for heroes, looking for today's special interviewee.", turning to the shocked class, he yelled in excitement, "Hey there all you little dude! Can I get a hey-ya!", none of the students said anything so the man continued saying while looking back and forth from the camera, "Alright! Alright! Say, have any of you dudes seen the Pokemon Hero Trainer?"
At that moment, a loud and painful groan was heard from behind the door, which was flung open, and all the students pointed to it. The fat man pulled the door from the wall where Gar stood embedded in the wall with his nose broken and a dizzy expression on his face.
"How did you open a sliding door like a hinge?", Gar groaned out in complaint.
"You must be the Pokemon hero trainer!?", the fat man exclaimed.
"My name is Gar, and who's asking?", Gar growled at him while pinching his bleeding nose.
"We are Dude TV! It's the most awesome, most action-packed, most dude-arific show on any platform! And we're here to find you!", he said while doing all kinds of poses before pointing at Gar.
Only to see Gar standing off to the side with Rotom up to his ear, not paying any attention to him. Only when he did turn his attention back to him where he said, "Oh, sorry, didn't catch that. I was busy calling security on a couple of trespassers."
"Where?", the man asked, as a group of UA teachers flooded the classroom entryway.
"Right there.", Gar said while pointing at the dudes. Within seconds, one of the heroes pinned, restrained or captured them all. As the heroes did their job, Gar sighed and complained, "UA really needs to stop letting wackos into the grounds. This is getting ridiculous."
"Hey, come on, dude. We're not a threat. We're Dude TV!", the fat man tells them as he is pinned against the wall in an armbar.
"What?", Gar asked in confusion.
"They're Dude TV! A group of thrill chasers and myth seekers! They go across the world in search of the greatest stories and endorphin rides alive!", Kirishima answered excitedly. Only for all eyes of confusion to fall upon him and make Kirishima explain, "I've watched them since I was a kid!"
"Thanks for being a dude-tastic supporter, little dude!", the fat guy said while giving him a rock-on sign, which delighted Kirishma squeal.
"This explains so much about your vocabulary and personality.", Gar says under his breath before turning to the fat man and demanding, "Anyway, who are you?" But before he could open his mouth, Gar exclaimed, "I already know your Dude TV. I mean, what are your names?"
"I'm Fat Dude, that Tall Dude, this is Skinny Dude, over there is Short Dude, over there is Girl Dude, and down there is Dog Dude.", Fat Dude introduced himself with the rest of his crew as Dog Dude barked.
The dudes, as they were called, all looked like exact copies of one another, but their namesakes were their most defiant and differing features. All the dudes had long brown hair, a beard (except girl and dog dude), white wife beaters, blue jeans, black sandals, brown eyes, and the same tattoos on their right shoulders with five D's written together. Dog Dude was an Afghan hound mixed with a bulldog, while Skinny Dude operated the camera.
"Thank Arcus. I thought I was seeing in fives.", Gar said under his breath while rubbing his eyes. After taking a calming breath, he asked Fat Dude, "So what do you 'dudes' even want with me? Dear Arcus, they've got me doing it now.", he said while slapping his face.
Seeing as they were no threat, the heroes released the dudes, and Fat Dude told him, "We're here on the trail of the great flying mountain cat!"
"The great flying mountain cat?", Gar questions.
"The great flying mountain cat!", Fat Dude repeats.
"The great-.", the students tried to say, only for Gar to cut them off.
"Okay, okay, I think we get the picture!", he yelled before pulling down on his face and asking, "What is this 'great flying mountain cat', and how does it relate to me?"
"The great flying mountain cat has recently been spotted over Mt Fuji, scaring the socks off the local wildlife so badly that they are escaping in droves alongside the Pokemon living there.", Fat Dude told him, making Gar narrow his eyes for the actual explanation, to which he said, "The reason it's connected to you is because it was first seen right after the sports festival."
Gar places a finger to his chin and says to himself, "That is a pretty good connection. And if the Pokemon living around Mt Fuji are going into human settlements, then we have a problem. So what exactly did you want with me?", he asks after pondering.
Fat Dude told him, "We wanted your help filming it and asked you some questions about it."
"I'm fine with questions, but don't expect my help in finding a hoax.", Gar told him with disinterest.
"Oh, it's no hoax, dude. It's real! One of our worldwide supporting dudes sent us photos of it!", Fat dude assured him while pulling some photos from his pocket and handing them off.
Gar looked through the photos critically, his expression softening into shock and surprise. He said, "Wait a second. Is that?" He then turned to the class and said, "Izuku, come here.", Izuku got up and walked to his side while Gar showed him the photo, asking, "Is that a-?"
"No way! It can't be! But it has to be. It makes sense.", Izuku babbles out, figuring his train of thought.
Just to be sure, they scan it through Rotom, who confirms their suspicions, making both boys gasp at being correct! Seeing their expressions, Fat Due exclaimed, "Do you believe us now?"
"More than I believe; I know what your monster cat is.", Gar says with a serious tone before saying, as Rotom showed them proof, "It's Mewtwo."
This causes a group gasp from the heroes and teens while the Dudes just look on in confusion. With no explanation, Fat Dude asks, "A Mewtwo?"
"Like the one from the sports festival?", Skinny Dude asks.
"The one that lifted the whole arena into the air!?", Short Dude asks.
"That was my Mewtwo, I'm talking about the one that Giovanni had.", Gar corrected their assumptions before blabbing out, "This is without a doubt, Nova."
"Nova?", the whole class said in a confused voice.
Confused by their confusion, before realizing the reason, Izuku explained, "Oh, yeah, I guess we never told you. Gar and I named the other Mewtwo so we didn't get confused."
This news didn't go over so well with the rest of the class, as they all loudly voiced their shock and anger at the two boys!
"You named it without us!", cried Mina.
"That's not fair!", Kaminari complained.
"You guys are the worst!", shouted Sero.
"Nova sounds nice.", said Tsuyu.
"ALRIGHT!", Gar yelled, making everyone go quiet. Once peace was restored, Gar instructed them, "Okay, people, listen up and listen well. This is a top-priority Pokemon mission. We have to get to Mt Fuji and catch Nova."
"Can't we just have the police take care of it? They have a whole subsection dedicated to catching or relocating Pokemon.", Iida inquired.
"While that's true, we need a less destructive approach. As a Mewtwo, Nova will adjust its fighting style or power output depending on how much danger it's in. We send in an armada, and you can kiss Mt Fuji off the map.", Gar informed them.
Momo asks, "Why can't we just leave it alone? It hasn't really done anything."
"Again, that's true, but if we don't, more and more Pokemon will continue to flee into human habitation. And we know what'll happen then.", Gar asks them, knowing he just went over this topic last week, and a collective shiver went down all their spines. "So all of you get changed into your hero suit in 30 minutes max. I'll grab some Pokemon. And Nezu, I need your okay to take the class to Mt Fuji, this is an emergency.", Gar asked the principal, who had come to oversee the situation, and gave his nod of approval.
"What about us, dude?", Fat Dude asks him.
Gar repossessed the urge to groan, so he tells them, "Unless you can contribute something. The answer is no.", to this, Fat Dude gives a nod to Short Dude, and he jumps on Dog Dude, riding off on his back. After a few minutes, he rides back in with a large backpack hanging off Dog Dudes back. Short Dude hopes off with the bag, handing it off to Fat Dude, who opens it and shows its contents to Gar, who stares at it wide-eyed. He looks back up at his smug face and says, "Okay, you're in."
Once the young heroes had changed and met in front of the school, Gar was standing there with the Dudes, a Hoopa, and around twenty unactivated pokeballs in his hands. He went around to each student and gave a Pokeball to each one, with some hesitation for Shoto, Iida, and Bakugou. The Dude, meanwhile, was setting up a bunch of gear and equipment all over their bodies, which is what Fat Dude showed Gar from before—everything from radar to depth readers, echolocation, cavern tracks, and so much more. Despite looking like wannabes at first, they looked like professionals right now.
After this, he gave a command to Hoopa, who giggled and used one of its rings to open a portal that they all walked through. When they came out of the other end, they had to take a moment to register that they had traveled several hundred miles in a fraction of time! Before them stood Mt Fuji in all its glory! A little way away was one of the destination stops that tourists would go to in order to start their climb or just go sightseeing. As they approached, they were struck in awe by the sight of dozens of Pokemon all crowded around the area! Flying Pokemon hung on in trees, digging Pokemon peaked out of burrows, and everything else hung out around…everywhere! In addition, they all looked so scared, which made them docile enough for the humans to interact with them casually. Something Gar had to tell them not to do as they were wild, especially when an old lady tried to feed a wild Rhyhorn.
"Wow! Look at all the Pokemon around here!", said Jiro in awe.
"They look…scared.", Toru observed.
"They are scared. Poor things.", Iida confirmed as he watched two Diglet cower under a rock.
"This is what happens when a Mewtwo moves in. Its presence alone is overpowering.", Gar told the group.
Only for this somber moment to be broken by the Dudes as Fat Dude exclaimed before the camera, "Hey hey, dude! This is Dude TV coming to you alive and in person at Mt Fuji, where we are delving deep into the caves to find the mysterious Great flying mountain cat!"
"It's not a mystery, it's a Mewtwo.", Gar said in the background.
"With the aid of UA's top class, we'll be going deeper and farther than ever before to find this creature alive!", Fat Dude continued as Krishima stood off in the corner of the camera in a mix of shock and fear.
"If you were trying to kill it, then I'll see you at your funeral.", Gar called out again from off-scene.
"And we've got the Pokemon Hero Trainer with us to lead the search!", Fat Dude said as the camera panned to Gar, who was standing next to the nervous star-struck Kirishima, where he exclaimed, "Hey trainer dude, how about a hey-ya!"
"How about a shut your mouth and listen?", Gar scolded them as he pushed the camera from his face and kept Kirishima from saying it. Turning back to the class, Gar instructed them, "Okay, people, here's the plan. We separate into groups of 4. Every group goes with one member of Dude TV and the Pokemon I've given you. Using the Dudes technology, you can navigate and map the caves safely. I'm giving all of you full permission to use your quirks as you see fit."
"Why are our Pokemon so strong? Isn't it a bit overkill?", Uraraka asked as she was the first to accidentally release her Pokemon, a very powerful-looking Clefable.
"Strong Pokemon repel weak ones and attract strong ones. Any Pokemon you find in there will be the ones strong enough or bold enough to try and hang around.", Gar explained briefly.
"What about you? You're not going in alone, are you?", Mintea asked with concern, a sentiment that was mostly shared by the rest.
Gar gave them a look of 'why so worried'? Rolled his eyes, waved them off, and blew out air as he said, "Of course I am. This isn't my first rodeo in a cave finding a legendary Pokemon. In fact, if I had a poke-dollar for every time that did happen I would have...well…a lot more than I expected.", shaking the thought of this recurring event, he got back on topic and said, "Just keep communications open. Defend yourself from any wild Pokemon. And if you find Nova, absolutely do not engage in a fight! Contact me first. There is a reason they are the world's strongest Pokemon.", he warned them as they all nodded or voiced their agreement, to which he exclaimed, "Okay people, move out!"
Hey guys, Im back; sorry for the short chapter I just wanted to get something out. Hoped you enjoyed it. Please review and have a plus Ultra day.
