Trainer Orange Ep. 27

Daisy and Daisy stared down the Nidorina.

“Go, Daisy, Razor Leaf!”

Thin leaves shot from Daisy’s mane shot towards Nidorina. She turned her horn to the side and took the sharp leaves to the side. Nidorina cried and darted away from the shrub charging, leading with her skull.

“Daisy, to the side and use Acid!” Nidorina swung wide and Daisy released dark plum sludge towards the feral Nidorina. The wild Pokemon shook the Acid off its hide and the spikes from her spine turned a similar plum and began charging recklessly towards Daisy.

Daisy smirked, “Daisy, now! Sleeping powder!” Daisy shook her large leaf brow and a thin layer of magenta dust poured into the air surrounding Nidorina. A step or two into the head on assault, the Nidorina dropped into a heavy sleep. Daisy revealed a Pokeball from her pocket.

Low squeals developed from the identical shrub Nidorina inhabited. Small Pokemon, the same complexion as the Nidorina squealed, four smaller Nidorans stumbled around the grass.

Daisy stared at the baby Pokemon and returned the Pokeball and retrieved Daisy’s. The stream of red light retracted Daisy into her Pokeball.

“Daisy? Are you going to catch it,” Franklin asked watching the sleeping Pokemon.

Daisy turned around and headed back in the direction of her home leaving Franklin slugging behind with his head turned behind him watching the tamed Pokemon.

Flare

Silent sky on a screaming night.

 

Lose light silently over

the peak horizon.

It’s screaming back

with red in his lungs

 

peak guns

red smoke

single stroke

on a screaming night.

 

He couldn’t pull the trigger.

Mind dancing on limbo

on a lonely island

staring the flare in the eye

 

below a silent sky.

Trainer Orange Ep. 26

The sun peaked through the open windows onto a shy Greg eating Pokechow.  Franklin remembered seeing Pokechow in Pokemarts with Tina shopping for her Dodou.

“Hey, Franklin! Come outside with me, we have a little time before we need to leave, so I want to track some Pokemon,” Daisy said with glee in her eyes. Franklin turned to see Vanessa feeding her Pokemon, the large mustard mouse, Raichu. The other two Pokemon that surrounded Vanessa, Franklin could only get a peek at before being rushed out by Daisy.

The sun illuminated the tree’s covering the bay of Tangelo Island. Daisy stared at the ground, brushing her fingers against groves left from a large Pokemon.

“This way, Franklin,” Daisy said. She walked at pace, following the tracks.

The forest was hoot free, smaller bug Pokemon roamed the trees, similar to Martin’s Caterpie.

“Franklin, you’ve caught a Pokemon before right,” Daisy asked, sniffing a cracked branch.

“Once, all I did was throw a ball.”

“Oh okay. Not going to be able to just throw a ball at this one.”

“How else do you catch Pokemon?” Daisy halted and stared at a shrub surrounded by no trees. The sun peered directly above the shrub and Daisy. A high pitch cry came from the shrub, and a Pokemon exited.

The Pokemon had a dark blue coat and a shortened horn on her forehead.

“That’s a Nidorina, been tracking her for a week now. Go, Daisy!”

Daisy through her ball and Daisy exited. The Oddish shook her leaves helm and faced the Nidorina.

Musical Chairs

“Share the chair,”

the wise woman shared.

There is room for two

it’s not all about you
she’d always tell us.
Fuck that. My ass has

been next to yours for

far too long and you can

find your own. He’d bekon
the blade in his back,

“Share the chair.”

There is always room for

two.
As the king sits alone

on his throne
he finds the knife

in his lost
chair.

Summer Present

Put a bow on it. It’s me

I’ve wrapped carefully

between snowman and

sly penguins. A tinkered
trinket passed from father

to father lost, forgotten,

than resurfaced. I’m

not going to make it to
next Christmas. I’ll leave

it under the tree next

to your Mustang with a tag

must stay. Don’t lose it, I
put a bow on it.

Oh Captain My Captain:

I salute you.

You never know the

change, until someone

changes it for you first.
Delude my spirit and

my mind will carry me.

End our life and

our hearts will live on.
Oh Captain My Captain:

I can see the tears behind

the mask. You spent

your last three wishes

on us.
I’ll challenge the not

on the blade of love

so these wonder gifts

don’t end yours here.
R.I.P. Robin~

Talking Points

Blood has been drawn.

Words echo through the Chambers for

eternity. Your apologies

matter not in this duel.
Match volume for volume

scream from the top of our covers

Blood has been drawn.

Your words will never leave
this cavity. Somber sleeps have

ceased. Our suite is no longer

sweet. And now

we rest our voice for
tomorrow’s screech.

Trainer Orange Ep. 25

Storm charged Pokemon extend their eyes onto the mask of Franklin. Hoot’s chanted through the onyx forest bouncing back and forth through the trees. Franklin looks around for Vanessa and her Pokemon.

“Vanessa!”

The hoot’s emerged louder from higher branches pouring over the dimming trail. Leaves fell to the ground around the forsaken shrub. 

“Vanessa! Where are you? Todd? Daisy?”

The Pokemon climbed into the cloudy moonlight, revealing sandy wings and crystal eyes. The Pokemon dove towards Fan-out

“Franklin?”

Franklin gasped for air and looked around the lit bedroom.

“Franklin? I heard you calling me.”

Vanessa worried expression was shielded from her younger siblings peaking through a ajar slit. 

“Yeah, I’m okay. Sorry for waking you guys.”

Vanessa looked at the window, “It’s already almost time to go for the second round. You must of had a long day.”

Tyrant

Make and break them

step over than on

backwards over these words.

 

Follow without a fight

solemn on this beautiful night

backwards over these words.

 

You wonder why we gave

up the chase in this maze

under these walls

 

you called home.

You said a lot a lifetime ago now

backwards over your words

 

we follow no one.
