TRAINERS OF THE FUTURE- Part 3
Poke'mon: Trainers of the future
Part 3: Who is she anyway?
Night had already fallen and still Flint hadn't woken up. “I hope he's alright,” said Makoto. “Well, I'm going to get some
sleep. See you in the morning.” “Goodnight Makoto,” answered Umi. She stretched her arms and yawned. “I better get to bed
too.” She knelt down beside Flint and took his hand. “I'm so sorry Flint...please forgive me...” She gently kissed his cheek and
went back over to her sleeping bag. “Goodnight...Flint....” she said before drifting off to sleep.
*************************
Morning had arisen. Umi woke up to find Flint making breakfast. “Flint?” she asked. He turned around to face her.
“Goodmorning Umi! Here, I cooked you some eggs and sausage.” Umi gratefully took it. “Thank you. Listen, I'm really really
sorry for everything.” “I told you it's okay. It's not your fault, so stop blaming yourself.” “I can't help it...I just feel like it's all my
fault. I'm the one that hurt you.” “Umi, it's not your fault. That girl hypnotized you. Stop worrying about it, I know that it wasn't
your real self, you're not like that.” “You're right.” “Now, finish your breakfast.” “What are we going to do about your
Poke'mon? We have to get them back!” “We'll figure out something.”
Just then something rattled in the bushes. “I wonder what that is,” said Umi. A Poke'mon came out of the bushes. It was
a plant-type Poke'mon that looked like a spotted tree with legs and arms and a sling-shot shaped part on its head. Umi took out
her poke'dex. “Information unknown,” it said. “There are still some Poke'mon not yet discovered.” “Wow!” exclaimed Umi. “I'm
going to catch it!” “But how?” asked Flint. “You don't have any of your Poke'mon.” “Yes, I do. She never took mine, but she
took yours and she took Makoto's.” “I wonder why.”
*Maybe if I can concentrate really hard, I can try and use a Poke'mon technique on it.* thought Umi. She closed her
eyes and concentrated. “What are you doing?” asked Flint. “Aren't you going to battle it with your Poke'mon?” Umi didn't
answer. She felt great power within her. Umi watched in amazement as her hands formed a ball of fire. “Flamethrower!” she
yelled as she aimed towards the Poke'mon. “Usokky!!?” it yelled in confusion. The flame swept past it, leaving burns all over its
body. Umi reached for a poke'ball. “Poke'ball go!” The capture device shook three times and locked. “I did it! I learned a
technique!” Flint congratulated her. “Way to go Umi. It sure does make capturing Poke'mon a lot easier.” “This is great! I'm
going to practice more.” “I'm going to practice too. It'll be very useful in helping me get my Poke'mon back.”
*************************
At Team Rocket's base.....
Anne stood before her boss. “I'm sorry boss, I failed in my attempt to kill the boy.” “But, you did get me some powerful
Poke'mon. I'm giving you a promotion.” “Oh, really? Thanks a lot!” “You deserve it. You're the only one out of the Team
Rocket members who's actually succeeded in something. Maybe you can teach the others.” “I'd be honored to.” Giovanni pet
his Persian. “Meeowww,” it purred. Anne nodded before Giovanni and left. “Ha,ha!” laughed Giovanni. “Little do they know
they're just the ponds in my little game. I'll get rid of them once I have no use for them anymore. What idiots! Ha ha ha!!!”
*************************
In the forest Umi and Flint concentrated their minds. It had been at least an hour since they had learned five attacks.
Makoto approached them. What are you two doing?” he asked. “We're learning Poke'mon techniques,” replied Umi. “So far
we've learned five in one hour.” “That's better than I did. It took me at least two hours to learn five.” “Oh, well.” “We're learning
because it'll help us capture Poke'mon,” said Flint. “But, the main purpose is so it will help us in our battle to get back our
Poke'mon. For some reason the girl didn't take Umi's but she took ours.”
Umi stood up. “I think that's enough training for now. I'm tired and need something to drink.” “Yeah, me too!” replied
Flint. Umi took some fresh Mt. Moon spring water out of her backpack. She quickly drank some and put it back. She then took
out her Diary and began to write:
1/7/00
Dear Diary,
Umi here. Well, right now we're still in Pewter City. We would continue onward towards Cerulean City, but this idiot
stole our Poke'mon. She hypnotized me and turned me against Flint. I almost killed him! I haven't known him for very
long, only about five days. I kept punching him, over and over and over, but then I finally stopped when I looked into
his eyes. I started to cry at the sight of the damage I had done to him. Luckily Makoto knew how to heal and Flint was
better in a matter of seconds. He slept for quite a while. I still feel like what I did to him was all my fault, though I know
it wasn't. It was all her fault!!! Someday, I'll get back at her for what she made me do. Hmm...before I went to sleep last
night I gave Flint a kiss on his cheek, he was sleeping though. I hope he doesn't know I did that. I still ask myself why I
did that, I guess because I was happy that he was okay. Anyway, this morning I awoke to find him cooking my
breakfast. Isn't that sweet? Before I forget, I caught a new Poke'mon today! I think its called “Usokky.” It looks like a
tree so I know it's plant-type. Instead of using my Poke'mon I battled with it! Yes, I taught myself the Flamethrower
attack. Ever since then, Flint and I have been concentrating our minds really hard to learn attacks. The main purpose
We're doing this is to get back his and Makoto's Poke'mon. For some reason, this girl that stole their Poke'mon didn't
take mine. Anyway, we still have to find out where their Poke'mon were taken to. I hope we figure it out soon. Well, I
gotta go now. Write in you later.
Umi quickly put away her diary when she saw Flint coming. “So have you two thought of anything yet?” “No, not yet.”
“I'm wondering, the girl that attacked us, is she a member of Team Rocket?” “I never thought about that.” “My mother
and father told me many stories about them. Their boss Giovanni use to be the leader of the Viridian City gym.” “Is that
all you know?” “Pretty much. My father said the rockets were failures though. The one that attacked us could've been a
Team Rocket member but if so, she must've been an elite or something. I figure she's the only one that actually
succeeded in a plan. The old Team Rocket members Jessie and James had retired because they were such failures.
After joining the good side they liked it.” “Maybe Jessie and James will know something about it.” “It's possible. We
should go to the nearest Poke'center and use the phone to contact them.” Makoto walked up to the two. “Thought of
anything yet?” “Yes,” answered Flint. “We're going to call up two retired members from Team Rocket and ask if they
know anything about this girl that attacked us. We figure that she is a Team Rocket member, but probably an elite.” “I
can't think of anything other than your idea so we'll go with it.”
*************************
The trio arrived back at the Pewter City Poke'center. “May I help you?” asked Nurse Joy. Makoto walked up to her.
“We need to use the phone.” “Sure, just go down that hall and make a left.” “Thanks.” They went to the phones and Umi
dialed up the number. The phone rang. A young man appeared on the screen. “May I help you?” he asked. “Can I speak
to Jessie or James?” asked Umi. “It's very important.” “Sure, hold on a second.” “Thank you.” The boy went to go get his
mother.
Jessie appeared on the screen and asked, “Who am I talking to and how did you get my number?” “I'm Ash and
Misty's daughter.” “Oh, the guy with the Pikachu I use to try to steal.” “Yeah, now, I need some information. Do you
know anything about the new Team Rocket?” “Not much, why?” “The other day my friends and I bumped into someone
who we think might be a member. She stole my friends' Poke'mon by turning me against them. She had magical
powers and stuff.” “Oh, her name is Anne. She came to my house the other day asking if James and I wanted to rejoin,
but we refused. I figure she's an elite if she has magic and stole your friends' Poke'mon.” “That's what we figure too. Do
you have any idea where their base is?” “Well, what city are you in?” “Pewter.” “You're in luck! Their base isn't that far
away. I'll send you a map.” “How'd you get a map?” “She gave it to us just in case we changed our minds. What a fool
she is.” “No kidding. The map's finished printing, thank you.” “Well, I gotta go now. I shall like to go on a walk with my
husband.” “Go ahead. Thanks again, bye.” “Good-bye.”
Umi showed Flint and Makoto the map. “My theory was right. This girl is a Team Rocket elite member. Her name is
Anne. Jessie said that she asked if she and James wanted to rejoin, but they refused. Anne gave them a map in case
they changed their minds.” “So, now we're going to have to think of a way to get into the base without getting caught,”
said Makoto. “If we should happen to confront a guard Umi could distract them for us. But, we have to figure out what to
do about Giovanni and Anne. Anne's pretty powerful and Giovanni, who knows what he'll do. That Mewtwo he had was
too powerful for anyone to battle, who knows if he's creating some more mad monsters.”
The trio left the Poke'center. “I think we're strong enough to handle Anne, even though she's an elite.” said Umi.
“Giovanni? That's another story.” “First of all,” began Makoto, “how are we going to get into the base?” “Well, we'd have
to go there and see what it looks like first,” said Flint. “We have no clue on what it looks like. There could be traps at
every opening.” “I'm ready for them!” exclaimed Umi. “I'll fight to get your Poke'mon back!” “You're very confident,” said
Flint. “Just like your father, right?” “Yes.”
....And so the trio traveled on towards the Team Rocket Headquarters.
