While Sunday the slakoth would eventually prove useful, Lucas had other priorities for improvement in the immediate future. One of those was Indigo. The elekid’s demeanor suited Lucas’s intentions very well. It was definitely going to remain on his team for a time to come. But, today was just a training session in the dojo. “You have a good egg move,” Lucas praised. “I would like you to practice it.” “You don’t gotta tell me twice,” Indigo insisted. At once, the little electric type went to battering the wooden dummies. He clearly took delight in his own strength, but the satisfaction could only go so far against an opponent that could neither retaliate nor cower. Some ancestral, genetic urge within him quickly grew bored with the action. So, he looked to Lucas for approval. The Rocket agent raised a brow. “Surely you aren’t tired already.” “No,” Indigo explained, “I’m bored. I want to actually battle something.” “You and Ichen alike,” Lucas muttered. “... Alright, next time, I’ll let you both spar. It’ll satisfy you both.” That would likely spark a rivalry between the two pokemon, which worked out nicely for Lucas. If they ended up getting along and deepening a bond with one another, he could use them in double battles. If the rivalry turned acidic, he could use the threat of calling upon the other to push the one presently in use to perform better. Yes, no harm in letting them practice their moves on one another. “But, for now, keep going.” Enticed by Lucas’s promise, Indigo went back to battering the training dummies.

“Alright, you’ve all had your fun,” Ember purred. Today, all four of the team were in the dojo. It made Sunday very uncomfortable and just confused Ichen and Indigo. Were they going to battle…? Lucas was barely paying attention, one leg crossed over the other as he read the newspaper. “I trust you’ll execute that move correctly, Ember.” “No problem, no problem,” she assured. Her tail swayed behind her as she stepped forward. “Now, all together, on my command… Let’s use Beat Up!” As under a spell, all three of the pokemon felt suddenly compelled to assist Ember by attacking the training dummy she was focused on! Ichen and Indigo tripped one another up, vying to be the first one to land their blow. Sunday came along after. She was slower, huffing and puffing, but she put all of her might behind that blow! And, Ember came in the last, raking her claws across the training dummy. When it was over and her teammates stared at her, confused as to what had just happened, she grinned and tilted her head. “That was my egg move,” she explained. “And, with it, you’re all in your proper places: helping me get stubborn things out of my way.” Lucas hummed in approval.

Finally, Indigo was being rewarded. The Shulian elekid gazed with awe and fury upon his opponent. Ichen was no pushover. So, that would make this difficult. A battle was a battle, though. The chespin would squeal for mercy. Maybe not this battle. But, one day. Lucas watched the two pokemon size one another up. As this training session was a reward for Indigo’s excellent behavior, he would not intervene unless the two risked wounding each other beyond the standard scrapes and bruises of a sporting battle. Whether the elekid won was not Lucas’s business, only supplying the opportunity. “You think you’re hot stuff, huh?” Ichen spat. Indigo’s mouth split in a vicious smile. “I’m going to be his primary battle partner.” “Fat chance!” the chespin snarled. With that, the training room was alive with fledgling attacks. The bitter odor of herbal strength wielded in fury flooded the room. The scent of sweat and ozone followed soon after. Neither could damage the other much with their elemental attacks, truth be told. And, their fighting-type moves boasted little benefit against the other. But, Indigo had one slender advantage: his type compatibility to his moves. So, perhaps just this once, the elekid pulled in ahead of his opponent. It was not a defining victory as he trembled and dropped to one knee just after the chespin fell panting to the ground, but it was a victory all the same. As long as he kept proving himself, Indigo was sure there would be many more battles like this in his future. And, sooner or later, he and Ichen would settle their newborn rivalry once and for all.

After the match between Indigo and Ichen, Lucas’s attention turned back to the slakoth. He had more utilitarian purposes for her. “I believe we practiced Yawn the last time we were here, didn’t we, Sunday?” Lucas asked. The patience of his tone unnerved the normal type. She was aware he was not always this kind. Ichen and Ember’s gossip informed her of such. So, why was he showing her such gentleness? It made her confused and wary. “Yes…” The blond nodded. “I thought so. This time, I’d like you to try Encore on Ichen… Once he uses a move, of course.” The grass type burst out of his pokeball, raring to go. His Vine Whip was harsh and Sunday did not want to use it. But, she endured a second round of it before Lucas returned the starter pokemon. “Good,” he praised. “Just what I’d hoped for.” He kneeled down beside her. Sunday turned her head, not comfortable enough to make eye contact with him so close to where she sprawled on the floor. The Rocket agent spoke without heed to her nervousness. “Unpredictability can make battling hard,” he explained. “Your Encore is very useful for limiting that. In ideal circumstances, we could have you use it once a pokemon has used something very ineffective against our own team.” He smiled. Sunday gulped. “You’ll make a nice double battle partner for anyone on the team, I think. We’ll increase your defense so you can soak up damage nicely.” TRAINING SUNDAY THE SLAKOTH

It was time for a rematch. Indigo felt confident after his last victory against Ichen. The chespin, meanwhile, was absolutely simmering with malcontent. Lucas had done nothing but upset him. He wasn’t getting the victories he wanted. And, worst of all, the rest of the team clearly saw him as a joke!! He was going to show them. Lucas watched with tepid interest as the grudge match began. Given how small and inexperienced the two pokemon were, they couldn’t do much damage to each other… Yet. The man was content to let them sort out the hierarchy now. If it occurred later, they might risk harming one another permanently. He wouldn’t tolerate that. In fact, he only tolerated their spats because it pushed each of them to prove themselves more worthy to be seen as Lucas’s most reliable brute. They would never have Ember’s spot as his most prized pokemon, what with their questionable lineage and poor demeanor, but they could scrap for second place. He would reward usefulness with as many battles as they could tolerate. For all of his glee, Indigo was predictable. After his match with that purrloin, Ichen was more watchful and observant. He picked up on ways to predict Indigo’s movements before they came. He couldn’t dodge them all, obviously, but he could put himself in a better spot to hurt his opponent back for every blow he even attempted. In the end, it was Ichen who stood tall. He panted, a glint in his dark eyes as he saw Indigo collapse to the floor. Things were settled between of them, but they were even for now. TRAINING ICHEN THE CHESPIN

Though newborn, the ekans hardly came across as fragile or in need of tender care. For that, Lucas approved. While he appreciated the results of a good pedigree or lucky circumstances, he had no patience for the rearing that went into the early, fragile stages. It wasn’t in his nature; it didn’t suit his nature. Quiet and contemplative, the two-headed beast regarded the dojo’s rented room and the man before him. His trainer would feed him. That was a boon. His trainer would also take him further than he had been before. Deciding those were good enough reasons to offer his loyalty to the human, the serpent spoke. Two mouths spoke in unison. There had not yet been an experience to desynchronize the two halves. “I’ll fight for you,” he promised. All four eyes blinked. “I want to evolve one day.” “That’s a nice goal.” And, it was. This might prove an easy pokemon yet. The human gestured to the training dummies. “Show me what you can do.” Heaving his massive body, the serpent slithered up to the first wooden figure with all of his speed. He wrapped around the figure and coiled every muscle. A crack signaled his strength! And, then, to drive the matter home, he bit down on the figure with his yellow-eyed head. Bitter poison soaked into the wood. Lucas looked on in approval. TRAINING SUMAC THE SHULIAN EKANS

Nothing special was going on today. Ember didn’t especially need any training. He didn’t want to deal with Ichen and Indigo’s rivalry. Sumac was still digesting a recent meal. That left Lucas with Sunday. She was still frightened of him and he had no intentions of relieving her of that. It was good that she felt no need to go against his wishes. Once she became more powerful, it would be important for her to remember that fear. That respect. But, he wouldn’t punish her for regarding him correctly. Rather, he admired it. Finally, a creature who knew their place! It made her almost precious to him. “We’ll take it easy today,” he encouraged. “I want you to practice your Yawn and Scratch.” Blinking in eternal bewilderment at her trainer, Sunday obeyed. She raked her claws along a training dummy. Lucas tutted. He grabbed the normal type’s paw, rubbing his thumb against her wrist. Sunday tensed. He wasn’t strong enough to break one of her bones with one hand… Probably. But, even if she fought back, he’d just call the rest of the team. To her relief, he just dragged her claw across the dummy in a different way. “A diagonal slash is better,” he explained. “Your opponent may be able to dodge by ducking, jumping, or moving to the side if you slash at them vertically or horizontally. Try it.” She felt even better when he backed off. She did as he commanded and he nodded in approval. “There you go. Don’t fret so much, Sunday. You’re being a good girl and I don’t punish anyone who obeys.” He smiled. Not even the pristine, perfect apple he held out to her after she’d worked herself into a sweat made her feel more at ease. Her safety was dependent on this maniac’s ego being sufficiently coddled. TRAINING SUNDAY THE SLAKOTH

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! ;-)
