2: A.E.R.O

"So this... Is the A.E.R.O?" I asked, looking around in amazement.

"Yes, Luxray, this is the A.E.R.O." The Hunter replied.

I nodded a little, and looked around.

"This place is amazing!" I exclaimed, as The Hunter just shook his head in disagreement as i wasn't looking.

"It may LOOK amazing, but the challenges and trials you'll face, will weaken your ass... So best get to it..." He said, smirking and patting me on the back, as i looked at him as if he was crazy.

"What do you mean by that...?" I asked in a worried tone.

The Hunter shook his head a little, ignoring my question, and walked away, but signalled that i should follow him, so i did.

This place was, for sure, some type of a boot camp.

I saw people doing pull ups on bars eight feet above the ground, people doing push ups with one hand, and much more things i DIDN'T want to feel.

"Heh... I can see you are worried." The Hunter said teasingly, as i looked at him again and mad a sort of angry face.

"This can't be the A.E.R.O! This is too much of a boot camp than anything else!" I exclaim, as other people looked at me with a weird look.

"Ok? That is what it is, a boot camp. Until you become a true soldier, you'll be here, training with my team that i set up." He said, pointing at a semi cylinder looking building.

He seemed to be leading me there to that building.

"What is that?" I asked, squinting, trying to see the name of the building.

"That's your place now, Zaiden. Barrack 4." He said, now standing still.

"W-wait... Don't tell me that I have to go in there by myself..." I say, slightly worried again, as he shrugged it off, and continued to stand still.

"Shit." I thought, as i gulped and walked toward the building.

Other Pokemon stared at me from nearby, they looked quite tough. Probably due to the grueling training from this place.

I tried to ignore them, and i entered the building slowly, and looked around, as three other Pokemon looked at me.

There was an Inteleon, a Gallade, and a Lucario.

"Oh damn, look who brought the kitty cat..." Said the Gallade.

I stared at the Gallade and scoffed a bit.

"Dude, chill out, he's new here." Said the Inteleon.

I glanced over at the Inteleon, and smiled a little.

There was an open cot next to the Inteleon, so i guessed that that was my spot, so i sat down, and looked at everyone.

"Heh, don't even bother to ask to see if that spot is for anyone?" The Gallade said to me, scoffing a little.

"It was empty, ok? Besides, from what I've learned my whole life was that if there's a-"

"I don't care..." He said, interrupting me.

The Lucario shook his head and laid down. He seemed to be the chill one out of the group. But after the Gallade interrupted me, the Inteleon stepped forward in front of him.

"Can you just fucking chill for once!? You were this way too!" The Inteleon said, now sitting down next to me.

The Gallade scoffed again, and laid down, as the Inteleon looked at me a bit.

"Hello there, Zaiden." He said, somehow knowing my name.

"How... Did you know my name?" I ask, not really looking at him.

"Well, if a new person, like you, comes here, they are put on file before they are brung to the A.E.R.O, and i saw your file..." He said, looking down a little.

I looked at him, and nodded a little bit to show that i acknowledged that.

"What's your name?" I asked.

He raised his head up and looked at me again.

"My tag is F-7... Soldier F-7... But my name is Freya." He said, then looking at everyone else. "And that Lucario over there, his name is Lex. And that stubborn Gallade over there, his name is Orion."

I looked at the other two, then back at him.

"It's nice to meet you all." I said to them, as Freya nodded a little.

"Whatever, 'Zaiden'." Orion said, facing away from me while laying down.

I smiled, but not of calmness, but of an unsure feeling.

Freya laid down finally, and i did the exact thing.

Thoughts rushed through my head. They were thoughts about the other people next to me. Orion, Lex, and Freya.

"Were we gonna get along one day? I didn't know. Were we going to be accepted as excellent soldiers? I didn't know that either." My thoughts rambled.

But what i did know, was one way or another, I'd hold fast, and stand strong through whatever came to me.

"Ahem..." A voice said from the door.

I sat up immediately, looking from where it came from.

It was The Hunter.

Everyone else immediately stood up, as i looked at them a little weirdly.

"Zaiden? You gonna stand?" The Hunter said, just staring at me.

I was a little embarrassed, but i stood up and got into the line that everyone else formed.

"There. Now, Squadron 4!? Who leads you!?" He yelled a little.

"A.E.R.O!!" Everyone beside me yelled, as i said nothing, because i didn't really know.

The Hunter shook his head, then walked slowly forward in front if me.

"Zaiden? Who. Leads. You?" He said slowly, sounding a little impatient.

"A.E.R.O?" I say, sounding very awkward.

"Good! Now everyone, you are needed outside, you'll begin your first few assignments momentarily." He said, as everyone else responded with "Yes sir!".

I stood there, quite confused, as everyone else knew what to do, as i was the lost and confused Luxray.

The Hunter finally leaves, as everyone turns around and grabs their tag from a chest in front of their cot.

I looked at the chest in front of my bed, and opened it.

Somehow already, my tag was in there, as if someone knew i was coming here, in which someone did- The Hunter, of course.

I grabbed my tag, and put it around my neck.

The others walked out the building, as i followed slowly.

"Damn, I'm already lost, i won't last a second out there like this..."
