Way to the Dawn [Eng Version]

Chapter VIII: Reversed roles

"What mess did I get myself into again?"

That was what Kellyn had been repeating to himself since this morning. After waking up, he had found himself with a mission on his hands... He had to play teacher for the Ranger School's Outdoor Class! Why is that? Because Barlow, the one assigned to this task in the first place, had to make an emergency trip to Boyleland to try to solve a mystery: the local Pokemons had disappeared!

So, on top of this alarming news, the brunet found himself panicking like hell because he knew what he was waiting for...The Question-&-Answer Session of Terror.

- (Don't worry little Amethyst! Everything will be fine!)

- Easy for you...! It's obvious that you've never witnessed the Outdoor Class!

- (Nope! However, it sounds very funny!)

- Depends on the point of view....

As the teenager grumbled into the plumage of the Doduo he was riding, the creature suddenly stopped.

- Huh? What's going on, my dear?

- [Sleazy people, sleazy people...]

Sure enough, on the bridge leading to the Ranger School were two men and a Croagunk who was clearly hypnotized because of the ridiculous behavior it was having.

- Haha! Try these commands!

- This little gem works wonderfully!

While the poor Poison-Type Pokemon tried to reproduce as faithfully as possible the orders given to them by the men, Kellyn was seething with rage. The poor creature was in a world of pain!

- (The motherfuckers! Kell! We have to do something!)

The teen didn't answer her, contenting himself with leaning toward the Doduo and whispering:

- Stay back. We are taking care of it.

The boy climbed down from the creature's back, letting it back off, before approaching the goons, Styler in hand. Both men looked up seeing the Ranger staring at them, his gaze furious and cold.

- Boss, boss! There's a Ranger meddling in our business!

- So, let's try that! "Attack while laughing deviously"!

The higher-ranking of the two tapped on his kind of computer, giving order to the toad. Except that...

- Aaahhh!!! Wrong command!

- Boss, boss! Let's use the good old method!

Said method which was simply just pushing the Pokemon onto the Ranger.

....No comments.

Anyway! Still, Kellyn had a capture to do. So while Fischl bared her talons and attacked Croagunk with air blades, the brunet circled around the Pokemon. The duo had decided to use a new tactic in order to avoid the near disaster of the day before.

This one was simple. The bird took care of the frontal attack, while the teenager moved constantly so he wouldn't be an easy target. This made a capture much longer, of course, but it had the merit of protecting the human from potential dismemberment.

As a result, the Poison-Type Pokemon did not know where to begin. It's confusion allowed the Ranger to capture them without any apparent problem.

- / Shhh...~ It's alright, it's over...Atta boy.../

- [...Tired....]

- / I know, I know....But you can rest now.../

The creature gave the boy a soft headbutt before leaving. The latter, who had completely forgotten about the goons, suddenly turned around when he heard a mini-explosion...Oh yes, that's right. These computers exploded when the controlled Pokemon was caught. Logic.
