stay the course [vallons dojo]

The female nidoran held her gaze low, pace graceful but nervous. She didn’t want to do this. She had no interest in getting stronger. Strength wasn’t everything and the world needed more kindness than violence. Yet, her handler did make a good point. She had to be stronger if she wanted to protect those she cares about. Yes, Rhia was fully aware that he only said this to make her train. And yes, Vallon was aware she knew the real reason for this today. But regardless to the attempt of mind trick, he had a point.

Vallon took in a long deep breath, blue intense orbs flickered over the dojo. It never changed. He glanced back at the nidoran, giving her a nod. Rhia looked away from his look, partly ashamed she fell for his ‘attempted’ mind trick. The gijinka pulled another sphere from his pocket, hoping that maybe another creature of similar species would help Rhia get stronger. The male Nidoran materialized, lazy gaze fell upon the female. She was, beautiful. But before much else could be said, Vallon stepped in. “You know what to do.” With that, the half dry scaly skin and half soft human fleshed creature moved to she usual spot to nap. Once comfortable, his eyes closed to sleep.

For the next several hours, neither of them really trained per day. Instead, they bonded with each other and learned more about each other. That was, unless their handler stirred. And when he did, both pretended to battle it out. Tiyvu, surprisingly, trying to act as if he wanted to get stronger while Rhia, also surpassingly, pretended to either dodge or counter his advance. It worked, Vallon falling back to sleep to allow them to bond. And by the time the man work up, both managed to put some dirt on each other to make it look like that really battled it out. But, how long could that pull that off?

It was another recommendation by the rockets research team to do some special training with his pokemon on a weekly bases. This activity would help bring a sense of normality in his insanity of a life as well as bond with his pokemon. Bonding with a pokemon sounded like a foolish wish. It was pointless. Yet, here he was. At his new apartments home gym, staring at the equipment and large open area to train his pokemon.

His gaze shifted from the golett to his shulian ekans, the female head staring at her new training dumb. She was already thinking of ways to harass or beat up the ghost and ground type, while Vallon was only thinking of where he could take his afternoon naps. With a nod to Viper and Cobra, the team rocket grunt found a comfy spot to nap while other other two got to work.

For the next several hours, the twin headed snake and giant battled it out. Well, sort of. Gaara was or less was very passive during the fight until he was 'triggered', then kinda kicked butt. Either way, the battle time wore down the ghost and ground type lost the fight in the end. And soon, it was time to leave and Vallon was ready for a true nap in his new comfy bed. He sighed, collecting his things and heading back to his place.

The little oddish trotted confidently beside his handler, ready to showcase his bad-ass-ary and overall prowlness to everyone once they got to the dojo. However, the sight of the equipment startled him. His once confident stride faltered, beady eyes casted over the room. And each passing moment, the oddish shrunk within himself and soon eyes wide with fear at what he might have to do.

Vallon casted the grass and poison type a look, summoning the his go-to training pokemon to start the training. The two headed snake materialized, Viper casting Sorrel a nasty look. Sorrel’s eyes began to pool with water. With that, Vallon moved to his usual stop to nap.

For the next several hours, Viper whipped Sorrel into shape. Kind of. For the first few minutes, it was mostly Sorrel balling his eyes out running from the two headed snake. But once Viper caught up to him, she forced him to battle or at least train. It was mostly Viper attacking him, and Sorrel dodging it the best he could. In the end, it left Oddish so tired that he didn’t even have the energy to cry anymore. In fact, he ended up snoozing next to Vallon for the last hour or so. Hopefully, this would pay off in the end.

Bandit wasn’t his strongest pokemon. He also wasn’t much of a fighter. The salandit was more of a thief, sneaking around and stealing other people items was more like it. However, Vallon was told he needed to train all of his pokemon. And with Vallon not giving two poops about that, the man simply returned to the dojo and called further two of his pokemon. Bandit, the one training today, and another one of his pokemon to battle against. This time, it was Viper and Cobra. Simply because, they loved to battle and they were getting on his nerve.

After telling them to fight it out, the hybrid moved to the side to find a place to take a nap. And as soon as Vallon laid his head, the shulian ekans attacked the salandit. At first, it was the game of cat and mouse. Bandit would ran, looking for anywhere to hide from the two headed snake. Viper wouldn’t let it happen, itching to battle someone even if it was her own team mate. And at one point, the shulian ekans cornered poor bandit and forced the creature to fight back.

A few scratches, embers, fake out, and many beat ups later, it was still clear that the shulian ekans was superior to the salandit. Still, Bandit did get some good training in even through he ran away most of the time.

It has been kinda quiet in rocket lastely. Though, Vallon was tired of getting bothered about training his pokemon. Like seriously, what was the point of it? Yes, he understood that’s how this world works. Using pokemon to fight out our problems, but still. It was really getting on his nerve. Despite this annoyance, the rocket dog did as they say. Taking the time out of his ‘busy schedule’ to come to the dojo and train one of his pokemon. And today, he picked one of the newer ones he acquired.

The sableye tilted his head to the side, watching the hybrid moved from to a copy spot in the dojo and laid down. Blue eyes flickered from him to the shulian ekans, waving a hand to them to get one with it. Without hesitation, Viper and Cobra attacked Johar. The sableye, however, was ready. He moved with easy, evading the attack.

Viper and Cobra readied for a counter, but it never came. Viper didn’t wait either. The shulian ekans attacks again, the sableye not being as quick to dodge. And now, he attacked back. The pair exchanged blows for several minutes. In the end, it was the shulian ekans that won the practice battle. Vallon sighed, gathering his pokemon and leaving.

With a nod to Viper and Cobra, the team rockt grunt found a comfy spot to nap while other other two got to work.

For the next several hours, the twin headed snake and the tea cup battled it out. Chai groaning the entire time, giving the impression that their life before seemed to be pleasant until they passed. Either way, the battle time wore down the poor ghost cup. And soon, it was time to leave and Vallon was ready for a true nap in his new comfy bed. He sighed, collecting his things and heading back to his place.

These pokemon are getting on his nerves. The gijinka didn't even understand why he needed all these damn creatures in the first place. Surely, a team of six would've been more than enough to 'compete'. Whatever. What did he care? If having all these pokemon means they stop nagging him day in and day out, who is he really to complain?

The half human fleshed and half scaly skinned strolled into the dojo without a care in the world. And with a press of a button, two pokemon materialized within seconds of each other. The first was a rowlet, digits narrowed at he took in his surroundings. The other, the snake that seemed to always be beating up the young. The twin headed viper already knew what to expect, glaring at their next play thing. Hawkeye only returned the intense stare, making Cobra excited. Like always, Vallon found his comfy spot on a pile of matts and laid down. He gave Viper a nod before taking a snooze.

The shulian Ekans hissed violently at the baby owl, ready to put this youth in its place. However, Hawkeye was no push over like a lot of Vallon's crew. Because of this, the battle between the two did last longer than Viper thought it would against a newbie. Hawk being quite relentless in order to get stronger. But like was expected, the young owl didn't have much of a chance against the twin headed viper. And in the end, Viper won the battle leaving Hawkeye beaten and bruised ego.

He was told by the team rocket higher ups that this shiny sandygast was well worth his time. Yet, the man couldn’t see its worth at all. It was dumb and clumsy as all shit. The only worth Vallon could see was its weight in tokens if he choice to sell it to the highest bidder. The man let out a heavy sigh, summoning the black sandy creature out along with a training partner.

The twin headed viper hissed loudly, eying her new victim to train. Meanwhile, the gijinka moved to his usual spot. His mouth gapped open, a yawn consumed him. He settled down to rest, giving his shulian ekans a firm nod before turning back to take his nap. Viper hissed darkly at the shiny ‘new member’, really getting on her nerves. Cobra, like always, only copied his sister.

And as the pair glared at each other, it was Viper who sprang into action. It was Vipers mission to get this so called team up to snuff, refusing to let their lazy trainer get the better of them. After all, Viper wanted to the strongest out there. Yaelle cowered away from Vipers cold stare. A shimmer spread across its sandy form. It harden its form. Today was going to be a long day of training.
