Gotta Catch 'em All

~Static~
*Static walks out of his room staring intently at his GameBoy Color. It squaks and beeps as his face is focused on the small LCD screen. at that moment, he bumps into Metallic sending the GameBoy scattering across the hall* Hey!!! I almost caught a Charizard there!!! Watch it!!!

~Mettalic~
*loud metal echoes through the hall and then is abrubtly cut off as Mike steps back into the wall across the way* uhm...hello Jesse? ..*he nods at the gameboy* what game's that?

It`s Pokemon Blue. I already beat Pokemon Red, so now I`m going to do Pokemon Blue. See, pretty soon Pokemon Gold and Silver are going to come out and that has 100 new Pokemon that I have to catch. So I have to get my skills up. Hey, what are you doing here so late? Had a date or something?

*he simply blinks* pokemon? ...okay... *he chuckles and shakes his head* nope, I'm Mike...Mettalic..*a hand extends to shake* I'm supposed to be your welcome wagon I guess...break you in

*shakes his hand* Oh OK.....Ummm I forgot who showed me around when I first got here, but she was pretty. Anyways, I think I know the lay of the land. Or is this one of the head busting training sessions that I`ve heard about?

*a light chuckle breaks his lips as he shuffles the bag and jacket* pretty eh? theres a lot of those around here *a smile dances on his lips.* you got it boy...first sessions supposed to be a surprise..the rest will be scheduled from here on out...I'll go easy on ya though *he nods downt he hallway* shall we head down?

*swallows hard* OK....*breathes deeply* Let`s do this!! *shakes his arms to get loose and fidgits nervously*

*Mike chuckles as he leads the way down to the wreck room* you'll do okay, its just so you can show me what you know..then we can arrange your training from there *the door to the program room slides open and Mike drops the bag of tools beside it before heading to the computer station where he starts typing in a preprogrammed sequence* what your perferred fighting method? *he approaches the wreck room doors and they slide open revealing within a dojo type setting..the room being a realistic holographic projection station easily programmed by those that know the system..he turns and waits for static to follow him* lets begin...defense or offense..your call

shallow breathing* Ummmm.....I suppose defense. *eyes dart around the training room soaking in the situation* Fighting method??? Ummm...cheap?? Is that a fighting method???

*he turns back to Jesse ndding* cheap..I like that...no training at all eh? ..thats okay..we'll just see what you can do.*he takes a swing at Jesse, a straight fist aimed square for the jaw, the force pulled dramatically*

AHHHHHH!!!! *Shielding catches the punch. But the force throws Static across the room. Static gets to one knee and concentrates. a light blue glow grows from Static`s body and grows outwards*

*Mike nods as he approaches where Static fell* thats decent, though if your going to use shields like that, you need to alter them so they absorb the force *as he talks a foot kicks out..aimed for where his stomach currently is*

*Metallic`s foot hit`s the shield but goes no further. Static looks and stands up. He raises his left arm and Mike`s foot is raised as well ((as he grabs for the metal eyelets in his boot)).* Now I`m on offense now right? *keeps raising his arm and Mike`s foot at the same time till he`s hanging upside down*

*Mike grins as his foot impacts a shield and hangs mid air* good use * he uses the fact that his foot is suspended and does a scissor kick turn....trying to both loosen his foot in the boot and to perhaps take out statics leg*

*the move is unexpexted and catches Static off guard. The kick connects to the back of his knee. Static drops to a knee and loses his concentration. Metallic is let loose by Static`s lack of concentration*

Ikeee *his spin turns into a fall, he hadn't really expected you to loose concentration* try and keep concentration at all times *he rubs his side as he stands up...a fist suddenly flying once more towards your face..*..but your doing pretty good

*grabs his knee and looks up to see his fist flying at his face.* Oh......*WHAM!!!!* *Static sprawls out on the ground face down and he isn`t moving*

ahh damn! *maybe he should have pulled this one too..he kneels down beside Static and tries to roll him over* you okay kid?

*Static`s eyes snap open and he punches Mettalic in the throat. Static rolls away and brings up his shields because he KNOWS Mettalic will be pissed about the cheap shot.* How was that?

*Mikes head is snapped back as a fist impacts with his throat and falls on his ass...hands reach up to his throat as he coughs and nods and laughs and coughs some more* damn that was good *he gasps the words* I should have seen that, you said you fought dirty...it works *he laughs* I like your style

*relaxes a little bit* Really??? Thanks. I thought you were going to be majorly big time honked off about that cheap shot. *Smiles big over the encouraging words from Mettalic

next time I might be...but its good to see you have initiative *he slowly stands up* this was just a test anyhow to see what your made of....* .he starts moving towards the door* Program End! *as the words leave his mouth the dojo setting fades out, leaving a bare room with a few wooden props scattered around them* you should receive your main training schedule tomorrow, you'll have a series of trainers and classes lined up for you *he turns back to ensure the Static was following him* it was a good fight, next time though I might not be so easy *he winks*

*smiles and shakes the sweat off of his head* Thanks, Mike. I`ll remember that

okay..well enjoy the rest of the night...I gotta go take a shower...*he nods briefly as he bends down to grab the duffel bag of tools and head back up to his quarters...he pauses briefly in the door and turns back * you do know how to get back to your quarters from here right?

Yeah. *Wiping off the sweat* Yeah I think I need a shower too. Oh yeah...I think I can get back to my room from here. It`s down the hall, take a left, another left and then the stairs at the end of the hall right?

cool *he nods briefly and takes a right...veterans quarters being in a different section than the rookies* I'll see ya round then *he nods and disapears out the door*

*waves good bye to Mettalic as he walks away. Static gets back to the rookie quarters and picks up with his Gameboy trying to catch them all*
