But most of all here's me. Standing in the opposite side of my opponent, boiling mad and ready to take him down._\n\n_But... Hold it, you have no idea how this battle started\u0026nbsp;huh?_\n\n_Oh well time for me to introduce myself, I am Gero and this is our story. Me and my... umm..._\n\n_Get it together Gero. Sorry about that. Where was I, oh yeah \"mates\"_\n\n* * *\n\n**Normal POV**\n\n\"Alrighty! Time to do some \"Ranger\" work!\" **\u0026nbsp;** said a\u0026nbsp;12 year old\u0026nbsp;boy with black wild hair and brown eyes, sporting a red\u0026nbsp;sleeveless\u0026nbsp;jacket\u0026nbsp;with\u0026nbsp;the Pokemon Ranger logo\u0026nbsp;at the back and yellow shorts that seems too baggy to be even called that.\"Hey hurry up there, Rookie. You can't keep everybody waiting!\" an older figure of similar attire\u0026nbsp;beckoned the boy\n\n\"I have a name you know! It's GERO RANLO!!\" \"Yeah,yeah get in line.\". \"I wonder how on earth did he\u0026nbsp;become a\u0026nbsp;ranger\u0026nbsp;in the first place?!\" Gero thought. \\*Sigh\\*\u0026nbsp;\"Just because I am a rookie that does not mean that I don't know how to\u0026nbsp;do things, even he is clueless on how to make makeshift antidote.\"\n\n\"Everyone pay attention!! Please go and pass these translators around, as they are going to be your tools for today's task!\"\u0026nbsp;\"Oh!\" almost every rookie in the bus replied with\u0026nbsp;excitement. \"I don't need it, but thanks anyway.\" Gero replied.\u0026nbsp;\"Are you sure yo? 'cuz I know that you can understand Pokemon to an extent but not to show off.\" said the person beside Gero.\u0026nbsp;\"Hal, I'll be fine and besides, you need this more than I do.\" Gero replied. \"Okey dokey then.\"\n\n**Gero's POV**\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;I look over to my best friend Halon Kano. He is in the same outfit as me luckily, as we were forced to do drawlots of 4 to see when\u0026nbsp;and who will we go with to our Specialization Query. Specialization Query is when all of the villages' children will be going trough a\u0026nbsp;sample of every work a person staying in the Arius Archipelago.\u0026nbsp;Some will be\u0026nbsp; rangers.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Hopefully more like my dad who is\u0026nbsp;a\u0026nbsp;World class ranger and less of that snob over there.Others are Doctors like my mom, helping all living things in need. But the doctor\u0026nbsp;is a bit more well-versed, they need to study things.From\u0026nbsp;Biology to Anatomy of all creatures, this gives me more reason to respect my mother.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;But sadly the occupation of \"Trainer\" is looked upon as a sin because of how\u0026nbsp;barbaric\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;act\u0026nbsp;seems to be. But in actuality it is similar to\u0026nbsp;a ranger. They form bonds together with Pokemon and it is also practiced as a sport. \"Oh well! At least I have these when I get the chance to\u0026nbsp;see a Pokemon that would befriend me.\" I thought to myself as I hold my pocket with 2 empty and ready to use pokeballs. These are of the 6\u0026nbsp;that my father gave me on my 11th birthday before he \"disappeared\".\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Someday.\". \"Gero? Arius to GERO!!!\" Hal called out before I went back to\u0026nbsp;the real world. \"Oh, sorry is it time yet?\" \"Yup. Let's go and help some Pokemon!\" He replied before we stepped out of the lift.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;As this excuse of a ranger rambles on and on how he captured 5 pokemon at once, I put on a disapproved face and he approached me.\u0026nbsp;\"Hey!!! ROOKIE do you think that your better than me?!?\" He shouted at me as his blond hair waves around as he shouts at me. \"So? You\u0026nbsp;don't even know what a ranger is intended to do. How you stained the very name of it\u0026nbsp;disgusts me!\" annoyed and extremely\u0026nbsp;angry at this\u0026nbsp;\"ranger\". \"OK then. Prove it!\" He said as he tossed his styler at me. \"Hey! You have no idea how precious this thing is!!\" eagerly catching it\u0026nbsp;with care.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Ok then get those 10 Sewaddles hanging around over there\" he pointed towards a decently sized tree. \"OK! Styler On!\" I readied myself\u0026nbsp;as I launch the top. They\u0026nbsp;should see the look on his\u0026nbsp;face as I circle around 2 to 3 of these bugs for each loop\u0026nbsp;flawlessly. \"Now that's how\u0026nbsp;it's done. Ok guys better tell us if there are Pokemon that needs a bit of help.\" \"Ok! We will tell your friends where to find them.\" replied the swarm.\n\nAfter they are done with the info\u0026nbsp;exchange.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Ok. Release!\" I commanded the styler and the bugs glowed to confirm their release\u0026nbsp;and they went their separate ways. \"Could you be... THE\u0026nbsp;\"RANLO\"'s son!?!?!?!?\" he asked nervously as if he made a fool of himself. In which he did, \"Isn't obvious already? And besides if I were you. You'd\u0026nbsp;better learn how to shut that tramp of yours and be serious about not just your title but also your responsibility as one of them. Starting with this.\" I gave\u0026nbsp;him his styler and see to it that he grabs hold of it. \"Never.\u0026nbsp;I MEAN NEVER TOSS YOUR STYLER AROUND UNLESS NECESSARY UNDERSTOOD!?\"\n\n\"Yes sir!!!\" He replied in fear and submission.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;I looked at everyone and they had a surprised\u0026nbsp;look beside's Hal. Who practically has been with me for the past 8 years. \"A 180 degree turn. I didn't\u0026nbsp;even know that Gero can get mad.\" \"A world-class ranger's son. No wonder\" and so on and so forth,my classmates' make a chatter. \"Alright! That's\u0026nbsp;enough, remember what we are here for.\" a better sounding Ranger stepped up to take charge. \"That's more like it. I guess a bit of lashing does do good.\"\u0026nbsp;I thought to myself.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Hey Gero, are you ok? I know that when we talk about your dad you get..er...touchy.\" Hal hopped to the side of me. \"No it's not that, but a ranger is\u0026nbsp;supposed to be a role model. A glimmer of hope, can't have that if that guy is a goofball.\" I tilted my head towards the ranger. \"I guess so. But if you need...\"\u0026nbsp;\"I know,I know, thanks Hal.\" I interrupted with a smile, trying to hide my true feelings towards the old man.\n\n**Later that day**\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"You showed him huh?\" Hal biting on an apple sized petcha berry, \"Yup, and it is for the better!\" I replied as I bit mine. We were discussing about today's\u0026nbsp;activities in a place that only me and him knows. We called it Dragonite's Cliff. It is a place near our village that is right in front of a port that ship\u0026nbsp;things daily\u0026nbsp;and it so\u0026nbsp;happen\u0026nbsp;that the mountain is occupied by the Dra species.\n\n(And little did I know that in a certain\u0026nbsp;winter\u0026nbsp;day that I would meet the\u0026nbsp;love of my life....)\n\n(At least\u0026nbsp;one of them. Im such a polygamist.\\*Facepalm\\*)(Guess got that from my dad. Curse you old man.)","series":{"name":"A Friend's Wish","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/954911-a-friend-s-wish-chapter-2.json"}}
