[5] The Daughter of Nurse Joy: Battle Frontier

Clayton the Vile Pokémon Hunter

A/N: The picture above is Clayton. I had a real hard time finding the right person to play the Main Pokémon Hunter, so I chose this picture.

A/N 2: There's some sad news in this chapter. Just warning you.

====

At the moment, the gang (Cora, Alain and Mairin) was taking a break in a clearing where Cora, Alain and Aaron were making lunch while Mairin was playing with the Pokémon. 

Soon enough, lunch was served, and everyone started eating.

====

After lunch had ended, everyone began their Pokémon training. Cora, Alain and Mairin trained alongside their Pokémon. Midway through their training. Some of the Pokémon had evolved. Maggie (Magby) evolved into Magmar. Alain's Ekans evolved into Arbok and Queenie (Nidoran) evolved into Nidorina.

"You guys excited for the next Frontier battle?" Mairin asked.

"Definitely." Cora replied.

"(I wonder what kind of Pokémon they have.)" Aaron commented.

{A/N: Aaron - Lucario}

"It'll be interesting indeed." Alain agreed.

Suddenly Aaron's ears perked up and he turned to the right.

"Aaron, what is it?" Cora asked, noticing his behavior.

"(I'm sensing several auras. But they seemed distressed.)" Aaron replied.

"Then we better check it out." Cora decided.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Then Aaron led the way to the distressed auras. 

=====

Aaron had led them further into the forest. Then he stopped and looked ahead. Everyone turned to where Aaron was looking and were shocked at what they saw, injured Pokémon in cages that were near a van. There were four men checking off things. They saw a brown-haired man, with a brown beard, walking around with an Ursaring by his side. He also carried a hunting gun in his hands. Cora soon recognized the brown-haired man; it was Clayton, a Pokémon hunter. From what she had heard from an Officer Jenny, the guy was ruthless when it came to hunting Pokémon. He would actually kill Pokémon trainers, no matter the age or gender.

"Pokémon hunters." Cora growled softly.

"That must be the boss." Alain guessed, spotting Clayton.

"It's Clayton. No doubt about it." Cora confirmed.

"We have to stop them." Mairin declared.

"(I agree.)" Aaron agreed.

"Then let's do it." Cora decided and turned to Mairin, "Mairin, you go and get Officer Jenny while we take down these goons."

Mairin nodded, "Right."

Mairin got onto Masaki (Tropius). Then they flew off to get to Officer Jenny.

====

Clayton and the other three hunters were about to pick up the cages.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Cora shouted.

Clayton and the hunters stopped in their tracks when they saw Cora and her Pokémon.

"Release those Pokémon at once!" Cora ordered.

Clayton growled, "Stay out of my business, brats."

"No way!" Cora shouted.
