"Not only can't you play it unless you have a Trainer in your discard pile, once you do play it, you can't use it to get back one of the two cards that you discard for it, even if it's a Trainer."
Why is this different from Junk Arm?
Q. Can I use Junk Arm, discarding something + 1 Item card to get that 1 Item card back into my hand?
A. Junk Arm says to discard 2 cards first, then search for an Item card. Since the two cards are in the Discard Pile, one of them can be retrieved by the Junk Arm search. (Nov 3, 2011 PUI Rules Team)
