While Cavendish seemed mostly content hanging out and not doing all too much, Niko was honestly hoping for a bit more from the big guy. After all, it wasn't like he couldn't put in some good work if he applied himself - their previous training sessions proved that well enough. With that in mind, having him put his physical capabilities to the test once more made all the sense in the world to Niko.
As it turned out, his assessment of the Tropius wasn't inaccurate. All the flier needed was a few seconds to "bulk up" (not that kind of bulking up, though), and he could throw out even more razor-sharp leaves than ever. That in itself was awesome to see really, but unfortunately, Cavendish didn't seem all too happy to use Growth, initially responding to such requests with what sounded to Niko like a short sigh. Was there some sort of issue with him doing so? Niko figured it'd be best to ask.
"Eh, it's fine," Cavendish responded nonchalantly. "Kinda tiring to do, though. I gotta gather up all this energy just to use it once. A bit of a hassle, y'know?"
So, it was...hard? Niko supposed he could see why that would be, but...they were training. It being hard would just be something they'd have to work through. Was that really something that Niko would have to explain?

Due to having recently suffered some bad frostbite, plus one or two other things, Niko was planning on taking it easy for the time being. After all, as one would expect, he didn't feel like exerting himself too much while recovering from harmful injuries. However, there was still the question of Dojo training. Obviously, Niko himself didn't necessarily have to participate, as much of a useful time-save it was when he did so, but any of his Pokemon definitely could.
In particular, he decided that giving Nightwing a turn at training would be wise. The Gligar had been worried sick ever since he got injured, and had been hanging around him even more than usual. If he didn't take her to training, she'd become a nervous wreck, surely. She was going to get training, and even if it was something as simple as strength-training her pincers, it'd probably be good enough.
Speaking of, though, that was more or less what they were doing. Having her lift heavy weights with them was a challenge, certainly, and one she embraced with little hesitation. As Niko watched on, Nightwing did her best to make him proud, even if doing so put her endurance to the test.

Regent had already done a good job of recovering after having been hurt pretty badly during the recent DC incident in Redshore, not showing much sign of injury at all. Niko supposed this was standard fare for Pokemon, as he'd personally seen Pokemon recover from some pretty nasty stuff in the past. With that in mind, being prepared for any similar incidents in the future seemed wise, so why not do some training?
Regent had to have plenty of time to sharpen her various sharp implements. Doing so took quite a bit of time due to just how much of her was covered in sharp blades, and after surviving such a harrowing encounter, she was quite insistent on keeping herself extra sharp. Once they were over, she could practically hear how sharp she was. She was ready.
With each swing, she left deep cuts and gashes in her wooden targets, and she redoubled her efforts without delay. On one hand, it was quite impressive...but on the other hand, Niko felt she was pushing herself a little hard. Obviously, she was putting her all into training, but she didn't have to overexert herself. Hopefully, he'd be able to reign her in a little bit so she didn't tire too quickly.

Even after a rather tiring training session, Regent was still raring to go for another one just a little while later. This seemed fine by Niko in itself, though he figured that if they were going to have her train yet again, they'd have to take things a little slower than last time.
Going into the training itself, Regent was focusing her efforts on landing individual strikes. She could rush something down and try to make as many swings at it as possible, but that in itself was a flawed approach. If she could land just a few decisive hits, then she could ideally finish up a fight quickly. Sure enough, her Fury Cutter attack worked on that exact principle, so she made sure to employ it while training.
Each hit she landed on her target in succession seemed a little bit stronger than the last one, with each one going from relatively weak to legitimately devastating. It was endlessly satisfying, being able to build up momentum with each strike...but unfortunately, that momentum could be lost in just a moment. If she didn't stay focused, she could find herself missing, and having to start over. She definitely didn't want that, so she'd have to ensure that she kept her wits about her as best she could.

As much as Niko hoped to ensure that Nightwing's training accommodated her childlike nature, he knew that they couldn't do such basic training forever. Plus, after a few training sessions here and there, it seemed only right to assume that she was ready for something more substantial. Thus, Niko formulated a plan for their next training session.
Nightwing would be tasked with gliding around the room, building up speed before using Knock Off on hanging targets she passed by. A simple enough affair, but it seemed like it'd be good for her to learn how to hit a target while gliding around. Nightwing, however, seemed a bit confused.
"Wait," she began, "so, I have to hit those things while I'm gliding? Can I even do that?"
"You can do it," Niko reassured her. "Just keep your wits about you, and you should be fine."
The young Gligar didn't really know how to feel about the task at hand, even with the reassurance, but she gave it a try nonetheless. She took to the air, passing by a couple targets as she went. At first, she thought that maybe it'd be as simple as sticking a pincer out as she passed by one, but that didn't seem very satisfying. She needed to do more than that, didn't she?

"Alright, let's do this," Xiphos said confidently. Scuttling along the ground with a veritable spring in his step, he faced the inflatable dummy and eyed it for a second or two. To him, beating up such a simple thing was an easy matter; it wasn't like it could fight back or anything, and it wasn't even made of a particularly tough material. The thing would probably pop and leak out all its air if he so much as scratched it.
"Don't forget what we're here for, Xiphos," Niko said. "This isn't an opportunity for you to show off, it's an opportunity to become stronger."
Xiphos sighed a little bit. It wasn't like he didn't know that they were there for training or anything, so did he really need to be reminded of that? Besides, couldn't he do both? That question fresh in his mind, the Kabutops began spinning his body in place, slowly at first before taking off like a Hitmontop. He hit the dummy head on, and despite his assumptions about the dummy's frailty, the thing seemed perfectly fine, even if it was sent back a bit by the impact. Xiphos supposed it would take a bit more than that to really do some damage to the thing, so he decided to go in for another hit.

For the last few minutes, Cavendish had been spitting out seed after seed, aiming at the targets on the other side of the room. It was a simple task, really, and one that Niko figured that the Tropius could handle fairly easily, so his hopes were high. However, a few minutes in, he found himself wondering if he shouldn't have had such high expectations.
Cavendish wasn't a bad shot, per say, and seemed to go at an alright pace, but didn't seem to be able to hit the targets consistently. Sure, they were pretty small and quite far away, but that didn't seem like much of an obstacle to Niko, and the Tropius seemed very casual about the whole thing, not voicing any concerns about not being able to do well. So...what was the issue?
"Your aiming needs work, Cavendish," Niko pointed out. The Tropius, looking a bit confused, gave what seemed like his version of a shrug.
"Yeah, well, that's what we're here for, right? Don't worry, I'm working on it."
Apparently, he had some confidence in himself, which was definitely a good silver lining, but that being said, Niko felt like they'd need to really put their all into the session if Cavendish were to truly improve.
