TRAINERS OF THE FUTURE- Part 2
Poke'mon: Trainers of the future
Part 2: Lovely Anne appears!
Umi, Flint, and Bug Catcher finally made it to Pewter City! “Oh, I'm so hungry!” said Umi. “I haven't had anything to eat
in hours!” “Hey, let's go to a restaurant, my treat!” said Bug Catcher. “Sure!” exclaimed Flint and Umi in unison. The trio headed
for the nearest Burger King. Little did they know someone was watching over them. She gave a wicked laugh. “Fwa-ha-ha-ha-
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! I'll steal all their Poke'mon. I'll turn them all against each other. The boss will be so delighted when I do! Watch
out...here I come! Fwa-ha-ha-ha....” She hurried to find the nearest telephone booth.
“Hello?” asked someone on the other end. “Who am I talking to?” “The lovely Anne!” replied the girl. “I've pin-pointed where
the kids are. They had just gone into a restaurant.” “Good work. Keep an eye on those three. Your plan better not fail.” “It
won't boss.” She hung up the phone and left.
*************************
“That was great, thanks Bug Catcher,” said Umi. “Just what I needed. Still...their food isn't nearly as great as Flint's.”
“Don't call me Bug Catcher anymore call me Makoto (Muh-koe-toe). That's my real name.” said Bug Catcher. “So...what's
next?” “Well...we gotta get to the Pewter City gym.” “Hold it...” said Flint as he put a hand on Umi's shoulder, “We gotta get to
the poke'center and heal our Poke'mon first.” “Oh, right!” said Umi. “Let's go!” Just then Anne came running out of nowhere and
bumped into Flint. Doing so, she was able to put a tracking device on him. “Hey, watch where you're going miss!” yelled Flint.
“I'm sorry...” said Anne. “It won't happen again.” Flint helped her up off the ground. “That's okay,” he said, “But try to be more
careful next time will ya?” Anne quickly ran off. “I sense danger in her presence,” said Umi worried. “I have a feeling she'll be
back!”
The three arrived at the poke'center. Nurse Joy (Next generation of Joys) welcomed the trio. “Welcome to the
poke'center!” she said in a cheerful voice. “Will you please heal our Poke'mon?” asked Makoto. “Sure I will,” answered the
Nurse. She put everyone's poke'balls on a tray and took them. Umi went to go get a soda. By the time she was back the
Poke'mon were healed. “Here you go!” said nurse Joy as she handed them their poke'balls. “Thank you,” said Flint. “Anytime.
Thanks for visiting the poke'center, (Nurse Joy bows) we hope to see you again.”
*************************
“Well..here we are Umi, the Pewter City Gym.” said Flint. “I'm going to fight for a badge too, of course. How about you
Bug Catcher?....Uhmm...I mean, Makoto?” “Nah,” he answered. “I just want to be the greatest bug trainer.” “Okay. You'll
cheer us on then right?” “Yeah, of course.” “Well, let's get this thing started Umi.” “Yeah!” yelled Umi as she jumped up in the
air and then ran up to the gym doors. She opened them slowly. “Hello!...” she called out. The gym leader came out of the
shadows. “I'm Terry. Who's my next challenger?” he asked. Umi and Flint walked up to him. “We are your next challengers!”
they said. “We'd like to battle against you together.” said Umi. Terry said, “I'll use four Poke'mon.” “I'll use two Poke'mon and
so will my partner. Half and half if that's okay with you.” “Half and half it is.” replied the gym leader. “Onyx go!” Umi took a
poke'ball from her belt. “Squirtle go! Squirtle bubble beam!” “Squirtle Squirtle (Prepare to meet your doom Onyx)!” said the
turtle Poke'mon. It sprayed bubbles out of its mouth at Onyx. “Onyx agility!” commanded Terry. “Confuse Squirtle!” “Onyx nyx
(I don't think so!)” said the rock Poke'mon. It ran around Squirtle in circles.
“Squirtle, don't look at Onyx!” said Umi. “Concentrate on your powers. Bubblebeam now!” “Squirtle (Right!)” Squirtle
attempted its bubblebeam attack once more. This time it didn't miss. Onyx stopped running around and cringed in pain.
“ONYX!!!!!!!!(AAAAAAAHHHHHH)” it screamed as it fell to the floor. “Crap....Onyx return!” shouted Terry. “You beat my
Onyx, but see if you can beat this. Haganeiru go!!” “Haganeiru?” asked Umi as she pulled out her poke'dex. She pointed it
towards the Poke'mon. “Data unknown,” it said. “Looks like an earlier stage of an Onyx!” said Makoto. “ “Squirtle
hydropump!” commanded Umi. Squirtle did as told but it didn't even make Haganeiru wince! “Huh? Oh....” said Umi. “What am
I suppose to do now?” “Ha! You were so sure of yourself,” said Terry. *Hmmm...maybe if I use a different Poke'mon..*
thought Umi. “Squirtle return!” The Poke'mon dodged the red beam. “Squirtle Squirtle Squirtle. Tle squir ir Squirtle (No, I'm
going to win this battle. I won't give up!)” it said. “Squirtle (Believe in me).” “Hmm...okay Squirtle, use your hydropump over
and over!” Squirtle did as told. It still didn't work though.
“Haganeiru rock throw!” commanded Terry. Haganeiru threw rocks at Squirtle. “Squirtle look out!” yelled Umi. “Don't
get hit by those rocks!*I'v got it!* Squirtle agility now!” Squirtle zipped around Haganeiru. “Haganeiru tackle attack!”
commanded Terry. It was no use. It missed every time. Haganeiru chased Squirtle around, trying to tackle it. Umi noticed it was
starting to get dizzy. “That's it Squirtle,” she said, “We'll make him dizzy!” “Great strategy!” exclaimed Makoto. “Good
thinking!” exclaimed Flint. “You can do it Umi!” Finally Haganeiru fainted. Terry called it back. “Yeah!” exclaimed Umi, Flint,
and Makoto. Umi called back her Squirtle. Now it was Flint's turn.
Flint called out his Poke'mon. “Nidoran male go!”
*************************
Flint battled and battled. “Nidoran double-kick!” he commanded. Nidoran Female ran and jumped up to kick Terry's
Haganeiru. (His second one.) Haganeiru grew weaker and weaker. “That's it Nidoran! Double-kick one more time!” Nidoran
did as told. It kicked the rock-type Poke'mon two more times. Haganeiru took its final breath and fainted. Terry called it back
and sent out Onyx. (He had two of them too.^_^) “Way to go Flint!” cheered Umi and Makoto. Flint called back Nidoran
female and reached for another poke'ball. “Nidoran male go! Nidoran agility!” “Onyx...agility!” commanded Terry. “Oh, no!
Flint's in trouble now!” exclaimed Makoto. “Onyx is using agility too. Either Flint's gotta think of another attack or both
Poke'mon will get dizzy and one or the other will faint. “You can do it Flint!” yelled Umi.
Flint thought for a moment and said, “Nidoran...double-kick!” Nidoran male stopped for a moment. It concentrated and
then kicked Onyx. Onyx fell to the floor in pain. “Onyx return!” called its trainer. “They beat me!” Umi high-fived Makoto and
yelled “Yeah!” She ran up to Flint and gave him a hug. “We did it Flint!” she exclaimed. Terry handed the two trainers their
badges. “You have such strength!” commented Terry. “You two make an excellent team.” “Let's make a promise...” said Umi.
“We'll become the Poke'mon Master duo!” “Promise!” Flint and Umi wrapped their pinkies together. “It's a promise, yes,
forever. Can not break it, no, not ever. We agree!” Flint was about to call back his Nidoran male but all of a sudden it started
glowing. “It's...evolving!” exclaimed everyone. Nidoran evolved into Nidorino! “Congratulations Nidorino!” exclaimed Flint. He
called it back. Anne was watching the battle through a window. “They're Poke'mon are strong. The boss will really like this.” she
said as she greedily rubbed her hands together.
*************************
The trio had left the gym and were sitting under an apple tree. “That was some battle, huh?” asked Umi.
“Haganeiru...maybe I'll catch one someday....” “I'd sure like one of those Poke'mon too!” agreed Flint. “Do you think Professor
Oak might know anything about that Poke'mon?” “Maybe. Hey, we could gather up information about it if we find some and
studied their everyday life!” “That's a great idea!” Makoto looked up to the sky. “Hey, what is that?” he asked. It started coming
closer. “Umi look out!” yelled Flint as he pushed her out of the way. The sharp object fell right beside him. “It's a giant shard!”
he exclaimed angrily. Just then Anne came out of nowhere again.
“It's her again!” yelled Makoto. “Umi was right!” “I knew she was up to no good!” exclaimed Umi angrily. “What do
you want?” “Give me all your Poke'mon, or else!” “No, way! I'm not giving you anything you witch!” “Oh, I have ways of getting
what I want, and believe me I always do.” “Whatever!” “I'm sure you'll see things my way.” Anne stared at Umi's eyes and
hypnotized her. She stood still. She seemed to look out-of-it. Flint shook her. “Umi? Umi wake up! Umi!” “She must've been
hypnotized,” said Makoto. “We've gotta do something! Hyperbeam!!!” he gathered energy and blasted a powerful beam at
Anne. “What? How'd you learn how to do that?” asked Flint. “This is no time to be amazed, get Anne!” “Right!” “Tsk-tsk-tsk, I
don't think so!” yelled Anne. “Umi attack him!” “Yes master,” was the reply.
Umi swiftly ran up the tree and jumped off to kick Flint in the stomach. He fell to the floor in pain. “Umi...*huff*..no,” he
said weakly. “Now Umi,” commanded Anne. “Take his Poke'mon!” “As you wish.” Makoto gathered energy again.
“Hyperbeam!” He aimed it towards Umi. “Makoto...*huff*..no, don't hurt her!” yelled Flint as best as he could. “There's *huff*
got to be...another...way...” Umi dodged the beam and began to engulf Makoto in a force field. She raised her hand. “Dark
energy surround!” A dark-purplish force field surrounded Makoto and began to suck up his energy. He banged on it but it
wouldn't break. Umi pointed at his poke'balls. They floated away from him out of the field, and into Anne's hands. “Great job.
Now get that kid's Poke'mon!” “As you wish, master.”
Makoto tried to protect Flint with his powers, but couldn't. He grew weaker and weaker. “Flint...I'm sorry.” Flint
quickly rose to his feet and started running. *I've got..to do something, but what?* he thought. *I know, I'll use my Poke'mon, of
course! I didn't want to hurt Umi but I guess...I'll have to.* “Nidorino go!” Nidorino popped out of its poke'ball.
“Nidorino...*huff*..please help me. Fight...Umi...” *Forgive me...Umi..* Nidorino jumped up to double-kick Umi, but as soon
as he reached her he got blown back into a tree. It slowly fell to the ground. “Nidorino!” Umi raised her hand once more. Just
like Makoto's, Flint's Poke'mon floated up to Anne. She surrounded them in a protective field and transported them to her boss,
Giovanni.
Flint quickly got tired. His stomach was in a lot of pain from that kick Umi gave him. He stopped running. *I can't run
forever. I have to face her!* Umi tackled him from behind. They wrestled until Umi finally pinned him down. “I've got you now!”
she said with her teeth gritted. Anne flew over. “Kill him now!” she commanded. Flint stared at Umi. *No, my life is probably
going to end now...and my best friend is ending it.* “Umi...*huff,huff* don't do it.” “I only obey my master!” “Please don't....”
“Why not?” “Because...*huff,huff*...I'm your friend....” “Yeah, so what...you're of no importance to me anymore.” “You're
making a big mistake...” “Hmph...I know perfectly well what I'm doing.” “No, you don't....you've....been *huff* hypnotized.
Please snap out of it!” “You have no idea what you're talking about!” “Remember...our...dream? We promised each
other....*huff, huff, huff* that we'd be the greatest....Poke'mon duo...*huff* of all time.” “Ha.” “Umi....” “Prepare to d......” Tears
streamed down Flint's face as Umi was about to punch him. “Remember....don't...kill *huff,huff,huff,huff*...our...dream!” Umi
looked in his sorrowful face and laughed. “Ha, what foolishness.” “It's not...foolishness...it's our dream! Remember...you
promised...”
Flint stared at Umi sadly. Umi was attempting to punch Flint again, but stopped when she looked into his eyes. She saw
the tears flow from his eyes and onto the grass. She stared into them deeply and finally realized what she was doing. “What are
you waiting for? Finish him off!” commanded Anne. She tried to control Umi again. “AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” screamed Umi
in pain. “STOP!!!!” “Umi, fight it!” commanded Flint. “You must!” “NO, aahhhhhh. STOP!!!” Umi's eyes started to turn red.
“I'll kill you!” She started punching Flint in the face, over and over. His nose started to bleed. “Umi......st...sto...stop......look...at
me....” Umi was about to punch him, yet again, but stopped and looked at him again. She stared into his eyes. She finally
snapped out of it. As she observed his face, knowing what she'd done, she began to cry. Her flowing tears fell on his cheeks.
“I'm...so...so...sorry!” she cried. “I'm so sorry...please...forgive.....” Flint reached for her cheek with his right hand in means of
comfort. “It's....okay....(He laughs playfully)...I know....it wasn't really you. She...was controlling *huff,huff,huff* you....of course
I...forgive....” his hand slowly fell and he fainted. “Flint? Flint!!! UURRAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!This is all HER FAULT!!!” Umi
started to lash out at Anne, but she was too quick. Umi took off her raindrop-shaped earring and threw it at Anne, allowing it to
cut her face. It came back to Umi and she placed it back on her ear.
The forcefield Makoto was in finally burst. He softly floated back to the ground. He readied himself to attack Anne.
“Flamethrower!!!” A giant flame swept by Anne. She screamed as it engulfed her. “Is she?” asked Makoto. After the smoke
disappeared Anne was still standing there, but she was badly burned. “URRhhh,” she moaned. “You...haven't..seen the last of
me! I'll be back!!” She teleported away. Umi quickly went back over to Flint's side. Makoto joined them. Umi took two of her
fingers and softly pressed them against Flint's throat to check his pulse. “I think he's going to be okay. He's breathing, but he
needs a doctor.” “That won't be necessary, I can heal him here and now.” “You can? But how?” Makoto concentrated his
power. “Softboiled.” Makoto gave half of his energy to Flint. “There, he should be fine.” Umi caught Makoto as he fell over.
“Makoto...are you going to be alright?” “I should be fine...I'm just a bit weak, but I'll be alright....and they said that you could
only teach Softboiled to a Chansey.” “How'd you learn how to use Poke'mon attacks?” “I kept concentrating...until I could
finally use them. It took a long time though...” “Wow! Maybe I'll try too.”
