Thread: Pokemon: A Trainer's Crutch (LilGunner/BennyQ)

Alakazam! Aydin was beginning to shout, summoning forth the Pokemon he thought most suitable for this task. Half of his concentration unfortunately would be stuck on keeping Ampharos from shocking the entire lake and every Pokemon in it, the wild ones and his included. Had he been in his trainer days, this Gyrados would be mince meat by now. He would have thrown a fire or rock type at it just to test his skill. But he didnt get a chance to relive his glory days. There came the sound of a shrill whistle and before he knew it, Kaya herself was rushing forth with her entire team. Aydin slowly rose to his feet, adjusting his glasses to behold the sight. She looked terribly beautiful and brave all at the same time as she stepped forwards. Well, time for some on-the-job training. He held up his hand to restrain Alakazam when the psychic-type finally came around, a minute too late. Dragonair cradled in his arms, he watched as Kaya took the challenge head on, no easy feat when the opponent was a Mount Silver variety Gyrados. She started by having her Lapras make an ice bridge to and fro the wild Pokemon, a smart move in allowing non-water types to get close. Wouldnt they slip off though? Pikachu made a pedestrian effort to protect the others but he figured there was little danger to them now. If Kaya couldnt do it, he had his team finally ready to go. Even Rhydon stomped nearer, observing the action, while his lesser buddies watched from further away. They knew when a group battle became a one-on-one. Clearly Kaya knew her stuff, or was just plain crazy, as she and her Rapidash took to the ice with precarious balance. A fire type, using an ice bridge to battle a water type! It looked ridiculous in all outward appearances. But her Rapidash wasnt the one to do the fighting. It was herGloom! The little flower Pokemon seemed an ant compared to the giant Gyrados, still flailing against the ice. What was that stench? Utilizing an unorthodox combination, Kaya had her Pokemon both paralyze and exhaust the Gyrados with sleep powder. The faint mist and haze swirled about the larger Pokemon, who was unable to escape its embrace. Little by little, the water-type lost its zeal, allowing for Kaya to be in full control of the situation. Very impressive! He didnt watch what her Pokemon did any more. No, he only watched her, how in control she was, and how authoritative it all looked. Very beautiful indeed. That is, until she got caught in the onrush of water from Gyrados collapse. Aydin nearly shouted her name in terror, watching with anxiety and worry for a moment, until her Lapras emerged holding the stupidly brave girl by her sweater. Then surprising of all things, she began to comfort and soothe the Gyrados. It was defeated, let it slink off to its cave or cove to nurse its wounds! Hopefully it would learn its lesson about coming on Aydins turf but Kaya had other ideas. Kaya. He began to say, unsure if he would hear him as she talked to Gyrados. She should get out of there before it turned on her! It wouldnt do if his attractive new helper got put in a hospital bed on her first day. Yet of all the things she could doshe captured it. With a red flash, the Gyrados disappeared into the ball and didnt resist. Kaya had caught herself a powerful Pokemon. Very impressive. Very, very impressive. And beautiful. Kaya came back, congratulating her Pokemon. Alakazam and Rhydon looked unimpressed, though Ampharos and the others all cheered for her feats. Again, there was that stench, which he realized came from her Gloom. His Gloom didnt do any of that. Thankfully she returned her Gloom to its Pokeball and all was settled. At last Kaya approached, with Dragonair offering a weak sound in gratitude for the rescue. She was already recovering, having taken only a single tail whip. That should answer Kaya concerns itself as Dragonair slinked back into the safe water, along with all the other water-types. They swam and played around Lapras, now officially apart of their crew. She will be alright. Shes taken worse but theres no need for Pokemon Centers just yet. Shell be stronger from the experience. Im very proud of her. Aydin remarked, standing now with one hand in his pocket. His other slapped down on Kayas shoulder with encouragement and a smile from his kind lips. And Im proud of you too! That was remarkable, Kaya. You handled the threat and not only that, you made a new friend. Youre more than welcome to train your Gyrados here, though just be careful it doesnt cause a rematch with any of the others. Aydin said, withdrawing his hand and then sighing with a sad note, looking to his Pokemon. Alakazam, bereft of a good fight, slunk back to his spot to meditate. Rhydon decided to go crush some rocks. The other Pokemon gave her another rousing cheer. Magneton! His Magneton declared, all three eyes showing glee. Golduck popped by her side, trying to get her attention and brag about how he could have handled that fight for her if they could understand him. This is why I need a helper. If Im working too much, my Pokemon dont get the attention and exercise they need. Which makes them easy targets for the wilds to pick on. Had I been more attentive, Im sure my Dragonair could have prevailed. He lamented with a shake of his head. Or the others could have reacted in time. But I feel much better knowing they are in suitable hands. Your hands, Kaya. Aydin said, flashing his smile again, as he reached to take her hands and hold them in his. He looked down at them a moment, his hands under her hands, his thumbs caressing her palms. She had such nice hands Then he remembered himself and looked to her face, then to her soaked sweater and all. Looks like you need another change of clothes! And something warm to drink, no doubt. You should go on in and change. I have some old sweaters you can wear too if it gets too cold. Ill get another pot of coffee brewing then you can officially start your day. He chuckled. Properly. Come along. He said and still holding one of her hands, led her back into the house for her to change, while he got another warm brew going. It seemed he had quite a powerful Pokemon trainer as company. He wondered vaguely if that would be a problem in regards to hismandated research. Not everyone would agree. He didnt even rightly agree. But he had a job to do and he owed his debts to the Organization. He only had to trust that Kaya wouldnt be an issue. And if she waswhat am I to do?
