* * | ☽ Astra Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ What she was doing was making things harder for herself and she knew it, she was very aware of it, but all the same Astra found herself unable to turn down pokemon she wanted or knew she was going to want in the future when they became an option. It was in this state she found herself with a room full of pokemon who wanted to train at the dojo this week and she watched as some of them began to fight with one and other and others just began to try to convince her, the woman giving out a frazzled sigh before she found her mind just taking over her mouth.
"Orri. Orri gets to train because shes not being a pest" the woman had said, setting off half her team to saying they weren't an issue while the other half proved why they were. In fact as she sat in the pitch black room and thought back on it, it was only the smile of her ghost type appearing beside her which made her relax. She watched as the colouring faded away and then re-appeared on the other side of the room, soft words drifting to her gently. "Every time, every time you notice before i get close enough" muttered the ghost pokemon, Astra giggling to herself, she'd tell her, one day.

* * | ☽ Astra Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Aesop was a good pokemon. He meant well, he tried hard, he pushed himself in his training to be the best that he could do and get the best results. The issue was that the reason he tried so hard was he was convinced it would bring out his dragon typing, the reason he was pushing as hard as he could to the point the boy was sleeping for days after training or just hurting himself was because "well all us dragons can handle it" which was beginning to become an issue.
That had lead to Astra's cunning plan this week, bringing the grass type to the pool and while it took a little bit of pointing out that Evi swam with no issue and she was great at and Dore enjoyed strength training in the water, the grass type was hesitant at first. A little more "well the other dragons do it, i guess if you dont want to" sprinkled on top and now there was a chikorita using the leaf on his head to try and scoop water out of the pool as he kicked out little legs which were not used to swimming and tried to lap the pool just the one time to prove a point.
After almost an hour. @mod |

* * | ☽ Astra Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Now this, this was new. Astra had yet to really focus her training on a flying type seeing as they had wings and had their own ways of getting around and getting work done but all the same, Jackdaw had both the wings which he needed to learn to use right and also paws and claws too. Getting all of them to work together or in the right order was her end goal, the idea of strong wings slashing forwards followed by sharp claws and then a hard kick being a fun idea for a move in her mind.
In reality, her flying type had just crashed in to another foam wall and slid down it.
"Look, lets try just stopping for now. Fly at it as fast as you can, and then try to avoid hitting it in any way!" she found herself thinking out loud, offering her idea up as she held out one hand and the bird chirped a small insult towards her before trying once more. He did manage not to hit the wall this time, only he hit it with his paws and bounced back in to the air which both counted and didnt, but it was progress! @mod |

* * | ☽ Astra Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Evi was another one of those pokemon where Astra was very aware she was going to have to put a lot of time and effort in to the pokemon in order to see much of a return in terms of power, not something the water type was focused on and not something she was keen to do in terms of evolution but at the same time, Astra didnt want the dragon to get caught out on a cold day and find herself basically a popsicle.
As such, today, they were doing a sort of endurance training which was a hard sell but seemed to be paying off. Evi was moving from a ice bath on one side of the room and then dashing over to a warmer bath on the other side which seemed to both soothe her and relax the female before she would turn back, Astra timing each length in the ice bath until 5 more seconds had passed and then, ringing off a small buzzer. It had begun at about 10 seconds but they were almost coming up on a minute now, it was getting impressive and Astra was happy this was strengthening and ensuring the safety of her dragon type. @mod |

Important Info
Season
Good news, Autumn is here! The sticky heat of the summer is finally gone, but the bad news? Its gotten very cold very fast. Berrys have fallen early from their perches, fruit and food is getting caught in snap frosts and icy mornings and this is leading to very cold mornings, pokemon getting desprate quickly and dark and chilly evenings
Next season change ~ May 20th
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! ;-)
