Ever since this meowth was captured, the feline has had his world turned upside down and inside out. For one, the feline no longer had to find his own food. In fact, his current human provides good quality food he had never had before in his short life. Another luxury, a shelter. Before he was captured by his first trainer, Berlioz lived no where really. In a box, under some stairs, or anything that seemed like a good place to rest. With Genesis, the meowth not only had a roof over his head but a comfy pillow to snooze on by a fireplace. The only thing he didn’t have that he use to love about being a street cat, the fights. The feline loved to get into fights with other felines, not so much for mating rights or territory. He just loved to fight. But now, he doesn’t get into fights that often.

With that being said, the feline had grown tired of living the lap of luxury. He missed the days of fighting, pleading with his human to allow him to get into some fights here and there. Although it took some time, finally his day has come. Though upon walking into the place the human called the dojo, it wasn’t what he expected. He has seen battles hosted by humans on the tv, and this looked nothing like it. Beady gaze turned to the human, head tilted in confusion. Genesis explained the place, also being very clear that she didn’t want to throw him in a fight without some training because its been awhile.

Of course, Berlioz found this silly. He even hissed at her. Yet, she did make a good point. It has been several years since he’s been in a fight. He watched the human set up what she called an agility course, to get things started. And when she was done, he had to run the course and get better times each time or he wouldn’t get stronger. He tried to voice he’s not a dog, yet she said that everyone does this or he will never battle again. Whatever. So for the next several hours, Berlioz did the little training exercise. At first, he did it slow mostly because he found it a waste of time. But the more times he did it, he couldn’t help but want to be faster. Before he knew it, he was running the course like those pesky dogs and even almost panting like them too. Wow.

A frown formed along the raven haired woman’s deep red glossy lips. Brows scrunched, eyes filled with concerned. “I don’t think this is a good idea Telso,” the breeder mumbled, hand rose to rest her fingers on her chin, “I know you want to become stronger. I get it. But, this doesn’t seem right.” The electrike nose scrunched, a look of annoyance in his eyes. “I can handle it.” Genesis emitted an inaudible uncomfortable noise, but tried to trust her canine.

Moving to the outskirts of the dojo, Genesis gave Kirala a nod. The rockruff snorted, her own beady eyes on Teslo. “Are you sure about this Teslo? I agree with master, this doesn’t feel right.” The electric canine growled bitterly, but gave them both a firm nod. “I told you it will be fine. Let me have it.” Again, the human in the background grunted but was ignore.

Kirala sighed, but gave a single nod. Her expression turned serious, eyes filled with determination as the rocks around her neck began to glow. A sudden multi color orbs formed above her tail. Swiftly, the robs breaks into several white glow rocks and fires at the canine. The electrike snarled, eyes on the rocks as he attempted the fast moving rocks that were hurled his way. Unfortunately, his moments weren’t fast enough. A few of the rock clocked him, sending him tumbling a few paces back.

“Telso,” both the female called out.

“I’m fine,” the canine replied, his tone filled with pain as he got slowly to his feet, “Let’s do it again.” “Teslo I don’t think-“ “Again.” Genesis frowned, green orbs shifted to Kirala. Kirala met her gaze, both shared a connecting without words being spoken. In the ned, both nodded to each other and turned their attention back on Teslo. “Alright. It it comes again Teslo. Eyes up.” This was going to be a long day.

With the meowth’s special training out of the way, the breeder decided to focus on the two feline that haven’t had any special training yet but have been with her for some time now. Unfortunately, it took time to finally get Katniss from her cozy high spot in her house. The purrloin happily sleep all day than to actual battle. However, Genesis felt that maybe some special training with the feline would do the creature some good. So after some time attempting to talk the creature into it, the human got the cat nip and enticed the creature to come down and play.

Luckily, she still had her training course set up from the week before and didn’t need to move anything by the time they got there. Switching her tactic, the woman pulled out a cat toy. It was a stick with a fluffy ball at the end of a long string. Nothing special, but Genesis knew that the purrloin was a playful thing and should get the cat running.

With that, the breeder spent the next thirty minutes using the cat toy to get Katniss to ‘run’ the course. And honestly, it was fun the first few times. It brought the feline so much joy and fun. However, Katniss soon got bored and Genesis had to switch it up again. Being exhausted herself, laser pointer time. The laser pointed worked like a charm, allowing Genesis to catch her breath while she pointed the little red dot to get the feline to chase. It lasted a lot longer than she thought it would, Katniss soon getting tried and panting herself before she retreated to her high spot to nap.

In the hopes to better prepare her team for the first gym challenge to come, the breeder has taken a different approach to training this week. Instead of her pokemon running an agility course design by her to increase their stamina and speed, it was time to work on their aim and durability so to speak. And this time around, it would be Evo the Growlithe who will take front stage as her test dummy to see how effective this type of training would be.

“Our first gym specializes in dark typing. With that in mind, I asked Nymeria, Nisha, and Saiya all to help us.” Genesis let her green orbs flickered over trio of dark types, offering a small smile and a nod before her gaze fell upon her growlithe again. “You will be battling each of them, one on one. Try to last as long as you can. Be smart and stay on your toes.” Evo the Growlithe gave a firm nod in return, determination in his eyes as Saiya was first to step up.

Unfortunately, Saiya wasn’t much of a challenge for Evo. She was still young and after only exchanging three moves, she was out cold. Still. Progress was progress. Genesis turned to Nisha, thanking her for help as she took to the plate. Of course, the absol was a bit more of a change. She was able to worn him out much more than Saiya. But alas, Evo was still the victor in the end. Smiling, the breeder gave Nymeria a nod. She would be the most experienced out of the three, giving Evo a run for his money with him already weakened. This battle will be interesting to say the least.

Once simply tasks seemed almost impossible now. And this whole experience, opened up a whole new world of patience and understanding for those what had suffer from similar things she had. The raven haired woman has tries to put on a brave face, so to speak. Yet, it was clear she was still struggling even after all this time. It was actually her lucario, Ryoko who suggested she take her pokemon to do some special training. His suggestion was a good one. Partake in something a little more ‘normal’ to help her cope with her new disabilities. However, Genesis was doubtful. After all, she couldn’t see or hear. What was the point?

With the assistance of the shulian absolute named Chandra, the group headed out to the dojo for a training session. It was Ryoko who guided her to the dojo, Chandra close by to use her telepathy to communicate what was going on around her and what others were saying. Of course, Evo and Kirala didn’t dare stay behind as they didn’t want anything to happen to their beloved human.

“Alright,” the breeder spoke up, her tone clearly down, “I’m here. You said Killua wanted to train today.” “Yes,” Ryoko spoke softly, gaze flickered to the shulian absol to telepathically communicate with her, “He has been itching for a battle in a while and starting to get restless.” A heavy sigh escaped the woman, but nodded. Lucario turned his gaze to the electric feline, nodded to move found and center. His head high, tail high above his head, and nothing but arrogance in his stance. “I will be training him. Please Chandra, communicate as much as possible to her.” The shulian absol nodded, not fond of her new role but accepted it for now.

For the next several hours, it was Ryoko and Killua who battled it out. The lucario taking on the role of personal trainer for all of Genesis’s pokemon now that she was unable to do so. And with Lucario being much more battle experienced than Killua, this was great training for him to learn his limits and how much he can do. In fact, the fight and steel type could see that this little pup had a lot in him and can see a great warrior in the future. But for now, he was just a cocky pup. In the end, the shinx got what he asked for leaving him well worn down and out for the count. Genesis had a smile on her lips, something that doesn’t happen to often now a days.

It was time to get some good old fashion personal training in. And this time around, it was Ascar who would get some one on one training in. The little black and white normal type bounced on her feet, tongue out panting like a dog. She tried to mimic a bark, coming out more of a strange squeak than anything else. It did however, make the raven haired woman giggle. In that, was what the little galarian zigzagoon wanted.

Genesis spend her whole morning moving things around, being sure that the little critter has plenty of room to move about and burn some energy. Ascar kept close to her side, even trying to help in any way she could. A few hours had pass before the agility course was ready, the woman plucking the creature off the ground and moving to the starting platform.

“It’s time to get some of your energy out. Are you ready?” The galarian zigzagoon nodded eagerly, bowing with its bushy tail int he air. The raven haired woman pulled out her stop watch, clicking the button to start the course. The pair darted through the course, running through the poles and over the a-frame. This a frame was smaller of course, Genesis adjusting it to the pokemon size. Ascar blazed through the tunnel, really enjoying that one. In and out of the poles, panting all the while. A few juggle gyms later and the pair made it back to the platform, both out of breath.

“Nirela,” the lucario called out, taking the opposite end of the pretend battlefield, “Do your best?” “I told you that I didn’t want to train.” “I am well aware of that. However, we need to continue our training despite everything that has happened. I know the garden means a lot to you and spring is starting to show. You will be busy for the next several months so let’s get some in before you can’t.” “Whatever.” Ryoko let out a heavy sigh, now understanding why Genesis has to deal with on a regular basis. However, he will not give in. She never does, nor shall he.

For the next several hours, Ryoko tried to train Nirela in the art of battle. It was clear that although she didn’t mind battling itself, she wasn’t a fan of it either. Nirela and Ryoko exchanged blows back and forth, the lucairo holding himself back as much as possible to allow the most against of training to be done with the musberry. That was, until it was just took much for her and soon she was out for the count. Ryoko felt satisfied with the training done today, but he could sense that aura of depression he once felt loom over her.

Green orbs flickered over the many obstacles she had place in strategically all around the area for Kuruk to run. Although he still had a lot to do before he could be his ‘guardians of the sea’ dream, Genesis wanted to give him all the extra help she could. And when she was satisfied with how the agility course was set up, the woman motioned for the shulian growlithe to follow her.

“Are you ready, Kuruk?” The woman beamed with delight as they strolled up to the starting point, “This one is going to be extra tricker.” “Doubtful.” Genesis let out a grunt and her once soft smile turned into a pout. “I think this will be good for you.” The water type turned his gaze upon the human and snorted. The human sighed, but tried to push it off. “Well… Kyogre only allowed the best so you need to stay in top physical condition. Do you dare upset it?”

Kuruk’s once stand offish behavior shifted, realizing that this human was correct as he readied himself at the starting point. Genesis tried her best to hold back a smile, wondering how much longer he would fall of these types of trickers before the canine would catch on. Surely, he would grow out of this strange fascination wouldn’t he? “Alright Kururk,” the woman mumbled, pulling out her stop watch, “We got all day. Let’s do this.”
