From: AznFrenzy <aznfrenzy@aol.complain> Subject: [PW!]ATR Combat Training. Date: Thursday, April 29, 1999 9:56 PM Room 69, ATR base, Ivory Island……. Late Morning. 10:00 AM Knock! Knock! Knock! "Heh Raven are you in?" "Yeah! Hold up. Who….. is it?" Raven, who just woke up, groaned. "Its Titan. Just checking on you. Good morning, I hope your 3 day rest healed your wounds." The voice from the other side of the door shouted. "Yeah…. Although I feel like I slept on a ton of bricks. Hmm….I think I did." Raven sat up. Titan entered the room and was surprised to see a half asleep Raven trying to get dressed. "Hurry get dressed. No wait….to hell with that. Just wear what you are wearing right now and go down to floor 5. Ask the Depot Manager for an ATR uniform." Titan literally hurled Raven out of the room. _____ 10:10 AM, Supply Depot. "Size." "What?" Raven half responded. "Size. You know size of your clothing." The depot manager asked. "What are the sizes?" Raven groggily asked back. "Well we have L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and UL." The depot manager replied. "UL? What the hell is that?" Raven answered. The depot manager had said the letters of the sizes not the whole meaning. "Ultra Large. Don’t ask." "Ok…I will have XL please." "Black or White?" "Black." "Ok…a Black XL….you will get your uniform soon." _____ 11:05 AM, Room 69 Raven came out of the room freshly showered and clothed. The uniform didn’t come yet, so Raven had to wear a "Do You Smell what the Brock is cooking T-shirt" and a windbreaker. He practically dived into the chow line which was pretty close by. "Heh Raven. How’s the salad?" Raven looked up from his plate topped with food and saw Titan taking a seat next to him. "Not bad, kind of sour though. What do you want?" Raven asked. " Theres a basic combat training room here in ATR. You don’t have to take it. It just might help you if you go into another big Rocket fight." Titan began to tell Raven directions, "….Then you turn left and you should find a door with the sign Basic Combat 101." ____ 12:01 Basic Combat 101 Raven entered the room. Well it wasn’t just one room as Raven would learn later. It was a couple of rooms and a big training room at the end. Raven sat down on a seat. He noticed that there were about 20 people sitting in chairs and a big roughlooking man with a buzz cut standing in the front. "Listen up, you greenies. You make think that this is just basic stuff we are learning. Its not. Its just a way for me to get more greenies to come. Not only will you be learning basic combat, you will be learning some advanced courses. There will be long range, short range, hand to hand, unarmed, weaponry, and some pokemon handling. It is damn lucky that it is not a requirement for all ATR to learn this. Although it might be bad having so many greenies in the same room." the man spoke. Raven checked to see if he was green in any way for a moment. Raven wished later that he hadn’t enter the room. The man was talking autobiography. The man continued, "My name is Sergeant Tank. Learn the name. Learn to love it or learn to hate it. I don’t really give a Rattata’s ass. I am related to Lt.Surge of Vermillion City. I grew up in a family of Tauros ranchers. They are a lot tougher than of you greenies." Tank shouted greenies like it was some kind of disease. Raven began to learn later that words like, "Tauros crap, greenies, and no Tauros policy" were some of Tank’s favorite words. "I was once in Team Rocket. There were bunch of greenies over there. I tried to train some of them once. Unfortunately it was the stupid bunch. One guy couldn’t tell his left hand from his right. I got an argument on bringing too many weapons to a battle. Well can you believe that? I only brought about 100 pounds of equipment. Well I showed them. I stole some weapons before a ATR recruited me and here I am now. When I am done with all of you, some of you might grow out of that greenie stage." Tank talked and talked. "Why do I need to teach you these stuff? Well this group is against Team Rocket. And you will see some fighting one day or another. What happens if there are too many TR to handle for your pokemon or if they stole all your pokemon and have many other weapons? Thats what this combat training is about. I don’t take no Tauros crap chances against TR. Everybody follow me." Tank led the 21 "greenies" into the next room. __ 12:21PM Hand to Hand, unarmed, and short range training. "Now here we are greenies. The following pokemon are going to help me toughen your skills up. My Machamp, Pinsir, Scyther, Kabutops, and some pokemon I borrowed, Electrode, Hitmonlee, and a Hitmonchan. ATR won’t let me kill some members as an example…not yet that is… so I can’t hurt you but that doesn’t mean the training won’t." "Hitmonlee!" "HitmonChan!" "MACHAMP!" Raven was bruised up in many places. The Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan seemed to punch and kick with incredible speed. 2 seconds and Raven was hurt in several places. The Machamp was no better. It spent half of the time doing pullups in a nearby bar while fending off many "greenies" with ease. There were other stuff Raven had to do. Tank was teaching some basic moves and holds. Raven couldn’t tell heads from tails at the demostrations. There was hardly any complaining since everybody was so tired. ___ 2:00PM, Break time and Weapon pep talk. Raven fell down on the ground along with the other 20 humans that had to suffer. Some had already left. The three pokemon hardly broke a sweat. Tank seemed slightly amused at the predicament. "Ok now for weapons. I know that most of you have seen knives, guns, blunt, and sharp weapons of all kinds before….that is I hope. But now I am talking about pokemon weaponry that TR and other people are using and are deadly effective……" Tank began. Raven immediately remembered the Wigglytuff that Maria had shot him with. "Some of you might have seen Wigglytuff Launcher and Magikarp Cannons. There are more that you have never seen before. The Magikarp ignited burner with AI Targeting system (my personal favorite),the Team Rocket Rocketlauncher, the Tauros-57 Smartgun, the Flareon Flamethrower, the S.V.C and the E.F.G which are the Sequenced Voltorb Charges and the Electrode Fragmentation Grenades. Not to mention all kinds of modified, enhanced, and mixed versions of Wigglyweaponry and vehicles and that is only half of the weapons that TR can throw at you. We have some today but they only shoot blanks. Yes blank Wigglytuff rounds. One half of the group will go meet Kabutops and Pinsir on their ability with blunt and sharp weapons while the other group will face Scyther and Electrode on their long range weaponry skills. ___ 3:00PM, Shooting Range Room. "WIGGLYTUFFFFFF!" "GOD DAMNIT!!" Raven swore as another round of his Wigglytuff Cannon missed the Electrode which had a strange target sign around his eye. "WIGGLYTUFFF!!" "Hmm I thought you said they were blanks?" Raven asked while aiming for the Scyther. "WIGGLYTUFF!! BOOM!!" "A HIT!!" " Maybe I lied! Tuff!" A nearby Tank replied. "WIGGLYTUFF!!!!" ____ 6:00 PM, Pokemon Fights. Raven was more tired than ever in his life. He didn’t do that bad using long range weapons. 22 hitting percentage. While getting accidently by other trainers 60% and getting knocked down by the opposing pokemon 85%. Of course the poketargets were trained to dodge with all their ability. He found that he was good with sharp dirks but he barely made some progress in the other weapon training part. The final part was easy. Tank was going to have fun and have all the trainers who didn’t faint use their pokemon and battle each other including Tank’s. Personally Tank thought that the greenies’s pokemon will fall down like their trainers. The greenies’s pokemon did a better job than their owners. Raven was surprised that his pokemon barely defeated half of Tank’s pokemon before losing. The other trainers weren’t that bad either. Tank’s pokemon might be tough but they weren’t that good facing other pokemon. __ 8:06 PM Final talk. "No, even if I want to continue this, maybe midnight swimming lessons in below degrees water or some climbing in the mountains we have to stop now. You can come to the next training session tomorrow if you want. But If I know greenies you will be hitting the sack for months. Damn greenies. Get the hell out of here." Tank finished. All the trainers ran out of the room as fast their tired state would let them. ___ 8:10 Raven return his room hungry and tired and fell down on the bed and was soon asleep. TBC.... Well longest Pw ever wrote. Even though people will get bored after the 1st page. Oh well good waste of 2-3 hours.
