Slake walked over to Scores bed and ripped the duct tape that
trapped him on the bed. Score was grateful, but still pissed off. He
liked to roll around in his sleep. The duct tape had prevented him from
doing so. It was morning now, and the sea out the greenhouse window to
the west sparkled majestically. "Time to go to our training classes
dude," said Slake. Score rolled out of bed and groaned. 6:00am. About 3
hours of sleep. Score was not too happy.
After a few Jolt colas and numerous times hitting his head on
his desk top, Score found himself ready to learn. Slake was nervous. He
wasn't exactly an athlete. He was more the booksmart type, who'd solve
cases with his head rather than his fists, he thought.
About an hour later, Slake and Score were seated at the front
of their class at the Celadon City Police Department. Everyone listened
intently as the teacher, a beautiful woman about 15 years old explained
their training to them. They were going to learn about basic pharensics
(sp?), small arms, spying, demolition, hostage negotiations, and
several advanced technologies, some of which even Slake had no clue
about. They'd also under some basic military training.
Their first exercise was a hogans alley training course.
"Welcome to Hypno's Alley," began the instructor, "Shoot the Rockets,
spare the Pokémon. Who wants to go first?"
Score stepped forward and raised his hand. He dragged Slake to
the front of the class as well. "We'll go first!" said Score, eagerly.
The instructor flicked her long blonde hair behind over her
shoulder and walked up to the pair. Gracefully, she draped her arms
over Slake's shoulders and wrapped her leg around his own. "Hey
handsome," she said, "Is that a handgun in your pocket or are you just
happy to see me?"
"Handgun," said Slake, matter-of-factly with a dopey grin,
pulling out a small gun from his pocket. The instructor smiled and
giggled. Slake blushed. Score managed to lift his jaw from the ground.
Slake took the safety off his gun. The rest of the class
stepped behind a bullet proof glass observation wall. A horn sounded
beginning the test. Slake had his gun pulled up beside his cheek. A
cardboard Jesse and James popped out of a window. BLAM! BLAM! He got
James twice. He missed Jesse.
Turning his attention back to the road, he noticed a Butch
picture pop out of a garbage can. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Three direct hits.
"Ouch," commented Score from behind the glass.
A group of Psyduck cutouts crossed the road in front of him.
Slake nearly blasted them all to bits, but managed to hold back. His
perephrial vision got a flash to the right. He flinched and missed his
chance. Cassidy on top of a building. BLAM! BLAM! Miss. Miss.
Slake realized the hot instructor was watching him and he
became self conscience. Glancing right, he noticed a Giovanni. BLAM!
Direct hit. He heard a click behind him. He whirled and shot. Pikachu
would have to have some reconstructive surgery. Slake shot again before
he could think about what he was doing. Click. Click. Out of bullets.
He hit the ground and released his cartridge. He pulled a new one out
of his right breast pocket.
5 Rockets, each in a seperate window of a building.
BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM! Each found a bullet in his teeth. A horn sounded,
ending the course. Score walked up to congratulate him. The instructor
came up and hugged him. "You passed, Sugar!" she said. She gave him a
kiss on the cheek. Slake turned red like a Charmeleon.
Score passed the test with flying colors. He hit every target,
saved each Pokémon, and only shot two unneccesary bullets. The
instructor gave him a hearty pat on the back.
The next event found the detectives in camoflague coveralls,
standing in front of an obstical course. "First, you'll have to crawl
under this barbed wire. Next, go over the wall, through the suspended
tire tunnel, and over the "Eliminator"," explained the instructor, "A
hand over hand crawl on "Ol' Ropeburn" suspended over a Voltorb pit."
Slake figetted nervously, knowing he couldn't do it. Score bit
lip and pondered a strategy. A few students made it to the Eliminator,
but fell into the Voltorb pit. The class had about 4 less students than
it had when it started. Finally it was Score's turn.
He squirmed under the barbed wire, held about 8 inches over the
ground. Like an Ekans, he wormed his way through the grass in record
time. He walked up to a wall, about 12 feet tall, with some small holes
in it. He backed up a few feet and ran towards a tree beside the wall.
He kicked off from a small knot on the tree trunk and propelled himself
on to the wall. Easily, he pulled himself over the wall and jumped
towards the tire tunnel. With one graceful dive, he was halfway through
the tunnel. Grunting and breathing hard, he flew through the tunnel and
somersaulted out the other end. He climbed the ladder leading to the
Eliminator and grabbed on to the rope. It was frayed all the way down
and cut his hands as he swung like a Mankey along its length.
" 2 minutes 37 seconds!" announced the instructor as she
smiled, impressed, at Score. Slake didn't do nearly as well. After two
falls into the Voltorb pit, he finally completed the course. " 4
minutes 5 seconds!" said the instructor, rushing over to Slake, "My
poor baby, let's get you patched up."
Score waited in the lobby of the Celadon City police department
for Slake. Slake emerged covered in bandages. He had numerous lip stick
prints on his forehead. The instructor handed him a piece of paper and
winked at him as he left with Score.
"What's it say?" asked Score, like an excited Growlithe.
Slake unfolded the paper. It had the instructors name, "Lily"
and her phone number, as well as some ruby red lip prints.
"Lucky bastard," said Score as he and Slake trudged back
towards the PODAHQ. Score, fuming, reached deep into his pockets and
pulled out all the stuff he "found" in the police department. "13 pens,
4 pokeballs, 1 ultra ball, 3 super potions, one telescopic nightstick,
and one pair of handcuffs," he said, quite pleased with himself.
"You _stole_ from a police station?" asked Slake.
"Yeh, what of it? Hey, want the handcuffs? Maybe you and Lily
can find a use for em," Score said as he prodded Slake.
"Shut up," said Slake, "She's our teacher man. I can't date my
teacher!"
Score whipped out his nightstick and smacked Slake in the back
of his head.
"What was that for!?" yelled Slake.
"Lucky bastard," said Score.
