* * | ☽ 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 |

* * | ☽ 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 ☠ Dora was by no means a bad pokemon. She was moody, sure, and that could be a lot of hard work seeing as she could be happy and chipper one moment. She wanted to help, to push other pokemon to train and to see them do well, proud of the younger pokemon on the team for coming so far or doing so well and the like. Then in the next moment she was as bad as Jett, wanting all the attention she could get and not caring how she got it. Breaking things, Biting things, heck biting other team members!
As such, Astra was training the dino in the only way she could think to, tug of war. It didnt matter if she was mad with her trainer, excited to train, wanting to push herself or feeling bad for herself. All she had to do, was pull on the rope, and not let go. It was easy enough at first but at this stage, astra had pulled the rope herself, tied it to herself, tied it to herself and hugged the wall and now she had just outright tied it to the wall and she could still see the plaster beginning to prise away with time! @mod |

* * | ☽ Astra Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ This posed a challenge. Astra paused as she looked around her room and she noticed for a space that was so small, she really had a lot of stuff. Ok, that was because she had a lot of pokemon but as it came to the degree she couldnt make it out of her bed in the night to the bathroom hidden beside it without either kicking a pokemon or standing on something, now something needed to be done.
As such, she had sent several teams of her pokemon out on errands for the day and was about to start on her own when there was a soft sound behind her as she took out the bin bags from the kitchen cupboard. Turning around, she found Xandi making a stack of take out boxes and dirty cups from around the room and the blue haired trainer glared to her pokemon. "Thats not taking paper to the dump heap" she commented, only to get a pizza box throw in her direction.
Smirking, she watched the ghost type flitter in and out of the walls of the apartment, pulling out dirt and more for her to clean and the woman sighed. She was helping, and helping in a way only ghosts could, so they'd spend the afternoon on this. @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! ;-)
