Trainer Orange Ep. 6

Valencia’s buildings all looked the same. Franklin has seen Pokecenters on the television before but none of these buildings sparked familiarity.

“Franklin slow down,” Martin said limping behind. Vulpix’s breathing in Frankin’s arm was becoming feint, the complete opposite of Frankin’s. Steady brink buildings, blurry faces, and domesticated Pokemon, and no Pokecenter.

The edge of Valencia, the end of the city, a building of red brick and a red roof with a Pokeball engraved into white lining. The ball was large, the size of Franklin’s eyes. Vulpix, cradled in Franklin’s failing arms, body previously burning the flesh of his arms now going cold.

The door of the Center automatically opened and a blast of cool air ejects.

“Hello and wel- Oh my! Bring her here sweety,” a young woman said. Her voice was high pitched as she trotted towards Franklin. The woman wore a white dress tied in the back with a large bow and a red cross in the center of her white cap. She relieved Franklin’s duty and took Vulpix to a table occupied by two other women wearing the same attire.

“Will she be okay?” One of the nurses looked up and took Vulpix to a isolated room.

The red haired nurse returned to Franklin, “Your Vulpix received series damage, she will be recovering for a couple of hours. I would stay away from the Krabby at the pier, they are dangerous Pokemon and not something beginning trainers should battle,” she concluded and held her hand out.

Franklin’s face turned green and handed the Premier ball over to the nurse.

Hibernation

Hello?

It’s time to wake up.

You’ve been sleeping under that tree for to long.

The sun has set

the season has changed

the winner has been crowned

your house has been moved.

Tiles of metric meaning layer over the place you once called home.

It’s time to wake up.

You’ve been sleeping way to long under that log that keeps you sane. Time to rebuild that home.

Rickman

The international bandit

thee headmaster

I tell them.

I tell them the story

is you

the story breathes you

and exhales icy winds

in a hot summer day. The first

steps were taken only

because you allowed it. The snake

everyone saw but not the thief we loved. I’ll tell

you the story. Feels the pages turn

like the wind blowing through your hair on a mare

through teeming meadows.

 

Now he rides on with a full book.

I’m Rick James, bitch ~ Dave Chappelle

Oh your down but not out.

Get up Darkness 

the light is calling you and it’s time to get up.

Cocaine is hell of a drug.

You fight alone

we can only watch from the sideline

as another one

takes their leave

to the Darkness.

Trainer Orange Ep. 5

The dock was old and missing a plank every other step. The sand was filled with Pokemon that Franklin didn’t know. His sandy blonde hair was blowing against the salty breeze. Martin stood having final words with the captain. Vulpix recalled and clenched tight in Franklin’s fist. Tangelo Island life in the city exploded in comparison to Valencia. Valencia only has a couple of stores, Tangelo Island is a large city shadowed by a tall mountain climbing over the city. Flocks of Pokemon soar over the city, screaming their call down into the city below.

“You ready to go, Frank?”

Martin walked into the sand and his left ankle sinks. Martin lets out a roar as a large orange crab erupts from the sand, ankle in pincer.

“Franklin! Go get help! This monster is gonna kill me!”

Franklin took a step towards the city and stops. Throwing his Premier ball into the air,

“Go, Vulpix!”

Vulpix released a sleepy cry and stared at the crab, and it released Martins ankle as he crawled in the sand in the opposite direction.  The crab swung its two pincers in the air and walked side ways smashing Vulpix across the head sending her flying towards Franklin’s boots.

“Get up and fight! Attack that crab!”

Vulpix stared blankly up at Franklin and cried. The crab charged again and opened its mouth and sent bubbles towards Vulpix. They popped on her skin, it sounded like a gun going off against bare ears, she cried and fainted.

North Park

Makeshift armor can’t protect my heart

From stray bullets

Blink past

Scattered pictures

Drawn from peach rainbows and olive Elms.

Makeshift armor can’t protect my soul

Tears of decorated walls

And A for apple.

Take the easy way out

Don’t sin and live with transgressions.

You didn’t see him,

Hiding behind the quivering lover

The guardian lover 

And you didn’t see him.

Take the easy way out

Leave the strong to pick up the remains.
