Now this were something in which Akira were truly having some trouble believing in regards to what he were hearing about this Dojo; it were not the mere fact that of doubting it's very existence more of what this large building had to offer. The fact that there were to be simply himself and a pokemon of his own choosing effectively in a room alone without any other to interrupt them sounded - for one of his pokemon in particular - an almost perfect way to encourage Nico to at least try do some training without the fear of physically battling another.
For that were one thing in which Akira had been quick to learn about the small Gible, other than the near intense fear of other dragons the very thought of battling seemed to cause the small dragon every reason to avoid such things entirely. So just maybe by working with Nico in a place such as this where it were just the two of them would help him out and in turn show that such thigns as battling were not quite as scary as were first thought; until then though Akira were happy with going with this route for now. Having explained such to the young woman working at the reception desk did she in turn offer the dark haired young man directions to a suitable room before he were to head that way with Nico following closely.
Upon entering the room did Akira see that it were indeed perfect. Stuffed dolls of varying sizes - and no doubt weight - were scattered all about the room all to accomadate any type of pokemon and were on a spring system so that these 'dummies' moved back and forth automatically without the need to physically do so each time. And even better were that rather than being of indeterminate shape tey all were actually shaped as pokemon for good measure. "See Nico? No one else except us, what do you think to seeing if you can push these about? Nothing bad with happen." As if to prove his point did Akira push the nearest one causing the Machoke shapped dummy to simply rock back and forth before becoming still, with a hint of uncertainty at observing this did the small Gible finally dare to mimic the actions of the human even if it were more half-hearted.
It were after a couple of times of doing this that Nico's confidence grew just slightly to the point where he began to go about the task with gusto, pushing at these beings with a little more force as time went on.

Well, it had been long enough between visits that Akira had decided that another trip to this Dojo were in order - after all what harm would it truly do to make the slight detour to here every so often in order to make the most of the facilities here? This time round it were Ryu that were going to be the focus of the visit here today, for after that little battle during that tournament style event the Drampa had seemed a little down so of course the idea of being able to strengthen himself a little more and hopefully in turn start to feel a little better with himself.
So after having selected one of the rooms that were still on offer to be used did Akira make his way towards it with Ryu in tow who in turn were looking around somewhat curiously right up until they retreated into the room that were to be theirs for however long were needed for. Once inside and with the door closed did the pair cast their gaze around the room, taking note of all the various sized weights that were scattered around ready for what Akira had in mind.
"Alright Ryu, here's what I was hoping. You think you'll be able to try lifting these weights while using Twister? But try focus as much as you can and start with the lighter ones until your happy to try any heavier ones." Akira spoke, speaking clearly enough so that Ryu understood the instructions. Not that this were to be an issue since the dragon were listening carefully before nodding his understanding, only then did his gaze turn towards the nearest weight before starting to create a small twister to lift it a few feet into the air only once had managed to be confident in doing such a thing did he set it back upon the ground with a slight thud before moving onto the next one.

It had been quite a long time since Akira had purposefully made a point of coming all the way out here to the dojo to do any training with his pokemon, so long that he had truthfully been in two minds as to whether or not there were actually any point to making the trip in the first place. At least up until he were gently reminded that if nothing else it were a good place to get some training done where otherwise may not gain the chance to do it elsewhere. So with that being more than enough of a motivation to come here anyway did the dark haired coordinator find himself being tugged to this large building and entering in to find a suitable room to do some much needed training within.
Upon doing such did he slowly make his way towards the room that had been temporarily assigned to him, pausing only when reaching the doorway to look back upon Nico as the small Gible shuffled hurriedly yet uncertainly after his large human companion after in turn having hesitated for some time after a large group of people and pokemon had headed towards the exit. "You ready there little buddy? See what we can get up to today?" Akira spoke gently and kindly as he opened the door to allow the Gible to enter who nodded slightly before the pair entered.
Only when they both had moved inside and the door were closed behind them did the pair get to work, spending equal amounts of time using the treadmills, lifting some weights and generally building up their strength - even if it were to cause them to spend much of the day here it would be worth it.

Well, it were that time again, to come here to this expansive dojo and make an effort in which to do some form of training and see how to best make use of the moves in which were available to them in readiness for whenever Akira would even dare to consider entering a contest. Though it were something he were looking forward to it did not mean that he were getting somewhat antsy and otherwise wishing he had better ideas to mind when it came to the performance aspect of it all. So thank Arceus for this place right? A good place to keep practicing until such a time he were happy with stuff.
As if sensing the mood in which the dark haired human in had Ryu been gently guiding Akira towards one of the free rooms that had been indicated to them before in turn the pair entered one and closed the door did a gentle rumble emanate forth from the Drampa as the dragon indicated for Akira to remain where he had been guided to, after all Ryu had an idea of what he wanted to do anyway so minimal input from his human counterpart was just fine. And even better that the room they had come too was effectively empty therefore were better for what were to come next.
A thick layer of mist began to filled the room to the point that it were difficult - or near impossible - for the two occupants to see their hand in front of their faces let alone each other before little twisters began to form and sweep the mist away while causing swirling designs and shapes to form for brief periods of time before fading just as swiftly.

Of all the times Akira had come here it had been mostly to train with his more able bodied pokemon who had nothing much wrong with them, but since having adopted Step the oricorio the facilities of the dojo certainly seemed like a near perfect and virtually safe place in order to come and try encourage the small red Baile to safely do some form of training without the risk of harm coming to the small bird given the fact that she would be a little slower on her feet in an actual battle so this were a good place to minimize - if not eliminate entirely - the risk of harm coming to her.
"Come on Step, it's alright nothing is going to hurt you here I promise. Just want somewhere to do some training without too much of a crowd and won't have to worry about being stared at." Akira spoke gently and encouragingly as he kept his pace slow so that the Oricorio could easily keep pace with the tall human as they stepped gradually towards the room they were to make use off.
Upon entering the room it were soon to prove virtually empty of any sort of obvious equipment rather it were to mostly look more like something akin to a dance studio with what looked like moveable targets hanging from the ceiling. "Alright, so do you think you could be able to combine some of your dancing skills and also try using Air Cutter to hit some of those targets? There's no rush and you can't do anything wrong just take as long as you need." Akira asked encouragingly and curiously as green eyes fixed upon Step for the longest of times as she listened carefully the small birds own gaze drifting from the human to the targets before nodding in a slightly uncertain way. Only then did the Baile Oricorio slowly and with a slight limp move out to a point in the middle of the room before taking a deep breath to steady her nerves enough to begin for this were certainly something entirely different to what she were used to. But all the same it were not to stop her from giving it a go right?
So taking her time and begin to slowly begin her little dance 'routine' - or more accurately one that she had known for so long - did Step gradually get into the rhythm before managing to incorporate the movement of her wings during this dance to send a slash of air towards the targets above and around her the first few going astray before finally managing to hit the targets and begin to near always strike such things all the while gracefully moving and twirling around.

Alright, so training was gradually getting there when it came to his pokemon and them generally getting stronger - this certainly gave Akira some hope when it came to them all but at the same time it did not prevent the dark haired young man from worrying that just maybe he were not being too strict with them all when it came to such things as this. So maybe it were good that he could come here and away from anyone else so that no significant harm came to anyone, especially his team.
But there were no need for him to be feeling so negative, it wasn't as if they all were not doing well in other ways so that were a plus as far as the dark haired young man were concerned. But anyway, although it had been a tough choice with who to go with this time the choice had finally come to the large Drampa who had in turn as were his custom on occasion wandered off ahead of his human counterpart while the human in turn sorted out a suitable place for them to head to. With that part dealt with did the pair head off to heir designated place, upon entering did their respective attentions go over the weight lifting equipment that were on offer for them and scattered around.
While Akira were still allowing his gaze to wander had the dragon moved off to make an attempt at getting to work, after several minutes of trying to lift up some of the lighter weights did Ryu settle upon ones that would prove to be more of a challenge before looking back to his human counterpart. A cheeky yet clearly challenge filled grin forming upon the dragon's features before he began to clearly made attempts to entice the human into a contest of sorts. Well, why not? How could he expect the Drampa to train without himself at least making an effort to do so too?

Alright, so this were certainly going to be an entirely different visit to the dojo compared to all the other occasions in which he had come here with his other pokemon - but given his choice for today's visit it only seemed fair that he made at least one trip here with his most recent addition right? Even if during his little walk to the dojo and tot he reception to make his query about his intentions he had been drastically reconsidering such a thing.
But now that Akira had finally arrived here and entered the expansive room that held the large water filled pool within it's walls there were to be no turning back now and changing his mind. It had been while Akira such thoughts had passed through the dark haired male's mind while he were seated at the edge of the pool that a stray splash of water aimed at the human were to turn his attention to the Magikarp that were happily frolicking in the shallow end just before him after having knocked the ball he had retrieved back into the humans lap.
"Alright, that was a good start Zasa. Think you can try again? Maybe going a little deeper this time?" Akira asked curiously and patiently as he held up the weighted ball and tilted his head to the Magikarp for a time who in turn splash cheerily at the water and seemed to nod slightly but looked more like moving it's whole body. So satisfied that the fish were happy enough to try again with literally playing an underwater version of 'fetch' did Akira toss the ball halfway across the pool so that it were to sink into the deeper part of the water. Well it were an unusual way to train the water pokemon but then again had to find some way to make it work given the circumstances and it would serve as a good way to strengthen the fish's muscles up in some way right?

Another week and another trip to the dojo, it were strange that before now he would try to avoid coming here too often though how much had changed within such a seemingly short space of time especially given the very fact that it would seem to be the best place in which to get his pokemon training where Akira were otherwise seeming to find it harder to do so in other circumstances. But such was life and he would simply have to deal with the hand that the dark haired young man had been dealt after all at least he were managing to get some training done even if were not much and restricted to the weekly visits here.
But anyway, no point in him dwelling upon such seemingly depressing thoughts such as that were there? Not when he were needing to focus his attention upon his training partner for the day, the large Drampa had gone silent after having previously been roaring at the provided dummies that the dragon had been 'attacking' and now rather than standing upright were laying scattered around him while Ryu in turned had a smug look upon his otherwise gentle features. "Getting better Ryu, how about try that again and see if you can knock them down with less hits." Akira finally spoke as he stepped forward to place the dummies back in their upright positions around the gentle dragon who in turn shuffled after him in turn watching just what the human did to ensure he were not doing anything wrong before the pair took up their previous positions.
Several moments passed before the Drampa allowed an Echoed Voice burst forth from his maw to send the dummies flying violently about the room, this time only leaving one or two actually standing though one did nearly go astray and knock Akira down if it had not been for the small Twister created to catch it and lay it upon the ground before the human who offered a smile and nod of thanks to his friend. "good boy, your getting better. Again." Were the only other words that would be spoken as they continued to repeat their little ritual.

Important Info
Season
Summer has arrived in the region and it's hot, sadly, sticky hot. The warmth from spring has rolled over into this season and it's muggy, humid, and a short walk down to the Pokemon Center will leave you in a mess. This means there's a lot of grumpy and annoyed pokemon out, and trainers similarly looking to work off steam.
Next season change ~ April 8th
Swarming Pokemon!
Encouraged Characters
Currently, our character numbers are pretty even, so aside from us gently encouraging more civilians and breeders...go nuts!
Numbers of Gijinka on site have dropped, too, so they're open to be applied for at the moment- though, if you're interested, go check out the adoptable threads for many wanted ones! They could always use players! ;-)
