They hadn't been there long, but already Regent was finding herself rather discontent with that week's training. They were seeing what her cutting power could do, and sure enough, she could do quite a bit. Whether it be cloth, cardboard or wood, she'd already proven herself able to do quite a bit of damage, and that week's session was no different. Her blades were as sharp as they'd ever been...but it wasn't quite enough for her.
She'd heard tell of what Shard had been able to do, whether that be smashing apart rocks or tearing through sheet metal like it was paper. That sort of stuff was what she wanted to work towards, but instead they were doing what was already pretty easy for her. Thus, it was decided, she needed more of a challenge.
The thin sheet of metal right in front of her, Regent rubbed her hand blades together. She figured it couldn't hurt - if Shard could do it, so could she. After a short while, she arbitrarily decided that she'd done so enough and was ready for action. All she needed to do was tear a few cuts through the sheet metal, and they'd be golden. Otherwise...well, she'd probably need some sharpening again.

Recently, it was looking like Amrock was really starting to act peppy, as if something great was going to happen to him soon. Niko supposed this made sense, since Amrock had done well up to that point and it was only a matter of time before he reached his next big milestone. Thus, it seemed that some training was in order.
It started out pretty simple, really: Amrock was tasked with practicing his various moves on a training dummy to ensure they were as effective as ever. The Torchic took no time in covering it in his feathers, as he was wont to do, and soon enough, he was weaving back and forth, left and right, pelting the thing with fireballs that exploded on impact, the training dummy reeling from each one. This was all very promising...though soon enough, Amrock began to get something of an idea. He closed the distance between him and his target, and began getting physical with it. At first, it just started with pecks and scratches, but soon enough, he started experimenting. He couldn't put his whole weight into a body slam and hope for the best, but he could try smacking it around for a bit. Perhaps, even...kick it? Yeah, that sounded like a good idea.

Shard had done well in training previously, despite what she may have felt. She could slice, crush, smash, and so on with relative ease, and by sharpening her own digits prior to attacking, she could hit all the harder. Brute strength was hardly an issue for her...yet unfortunately, her dexterity didn't seem to be all there. Part of that was due to her quirk, but for the most part, it seemed like her body was just a bit too weird for her to be too precise with her actions. A rather unfortunate state of affairs, to say the least, and one that didn't do her self-image any favors.
She'd been trying to clear a short hurdle for a little while, and found herself failing time and time again. It was the sort of hurdle meant for Pokemon like Scorbunny to leap over, and wasn't quite the same height as the kind that humans used, but even still, the act of jumping over such a short obstacle was just too much for her, apparently. Again, her odd anatomy seemed to be to blame, not having any legs to speak of, and she was more of a runner anyhow. But even still...she knew she could do more. She WANTED to do more. She just needed time.

With Xiphos having become somewhat envious of Amrock after he evolved, the Kabuto was eager to go to the Dojo and train so that he could do the same. The fact that doing so would take a decidedly long time didn't seem to be much of a concern to him - if anything, he felt it only provided incentive for them to get in some training for him.
Niko brought Xiphos to a room in the Dojo with a small pool, and the little guy wasted no time in jumping in and swimming around. Him being a Water-type, it was a no-brainer that he'd be good at swimming, and even with his simple anatomy, he proved himself to be quite good at it. He rocketed across and underneath the surface of the water like a torpedo, all the while pulling off all sorts of tricks in an attempt to show off. He figured that if he were to really put his skills on full display, Niko wouldn't be able to overlook him.
Sure enough, Niko was somewhat impressed, though not to the level that Xiphos was expecting. He'd seen Xiphos do much of what he was doing before, and honestly wished that he didn't feel the need to show how capable he was. He could only hope that Xiphos would be able to focus on the training itself.

Nightwing had developed a real knack for zipping around at high speeds, and things were no different while training.
It'd taken a while for the young Gligar to become comfortable with the act of striking an inanimate object, but with the enthusiasm she displayed that day, it would've been hard to tell. It'd been simple enough to put out a few inflatable training dummies around a room in the Dojo, and though Nightwing didn't think much of the setup at first, the knowledge that she got to fly from one to the other at high speed really got her excited.
"Hehee! Look how fast I'm going! You see? You see?!"
Silly as her enthusiasm might've been, Niko had to admit, she was showing promise. Her speed was almost as good as what he'd seen from Regent's Sucker Punch, and she could control her movements pretty well. The only real issue he had was the fact that she wasn't as focused on the training dummies he'd put out than he would've liked. She tackled the training dummies here and there, but she didn't hit them very hard or very consistently. Sure, she was having fun and all, but they still had business to attend to, didn't they?

Cavendish seemed content in his role as a laid-back gentle giant, and pretty much always had. This in itself wasn't a bad thing, and the others liked that aspect of him well enough, but for Niko, it was a little concerning. Being kindhearted was great and all, but he still expected him to apply himself when necessary, and he could only hope he'd be able to do so during their next training session at the Dojo.
Niko had high expectations for Cavendish in regards to his strength, him being fairly large even for his species, so he was quick to put him to work. Having him smack around a training dummy for a short while, he could confirm that the Tropius was quite strong, though it wasn't anything mindblowing. If anything, it seemed a bit awkward, what with him being a quadruped and all, so they'd have to try something a little different.
"Try to gain some height on it and use Stomp," Niko ordered.
Cavendish, hearing this, reluctantly obliged, kicking off the ground for a short time and winding up a powerful downward strike. Once he'd fallen a short distance and he let loose his downward stomp, the two of them would both learn for themselves just how strong Cavendish could really be.

With Shard's last training session having not gone so well, Niko decided that it would be best for them to go back to the basics. Her dexterity may have been limited, but her strength had always been, well, her strength. She'd shown that quite a bit in the past, having been able to smash stone to rubble and tear through iron sheets, so the more ways they could test that, the better.
After a brief warmup of smashing stones to rubble and tearing through iron sheets, Shard was ready for the main event. At the far end of the room, there was something that would hopefully provide a sizable challenge for the Duraludon: a large weight bench, atop which was a massive metal weight. Such a thing would be very intimidating for just about anyone, as the barbell had to have weighed a good couple hundred pounds at a minimum, but for a large, bulky Steel-type Pokemon? It didn't seem too far outside the realm of possibility. Shard just had to see for herself if she really was strong enough to work with such a heavy object, and if she wasn't...well, she'd probably be glad that Niko would be there to act as her spotter.
