"Sure. I'm going to play with Nika for a bit." You reply, before heading down to one of the secondary courts.

Once there, you release her and are almost immediately tackled in a fierce hug by a very energetic Riolu.

Pet her and award her with our remaining pokeblocks/berries as we prpgress.
Start with a game of fetch with a ball then work with a game of tag (let her win occasionally).
That should be it.
Tire her out with play then console her with reassurance by explaining the dangerous people we fought of and couldn't risk her being in danger.
Now that we are back at the gym we will play with her on the regular tho.

You had an idea of doing some obedience training, but that falls by the wayside as you wrestle with Nika, rolling around on the arena floor and letting her win, occasionally admonishing her when she gets a little too rough, but generally, just having fun.

After about half an hour, you're both just reduced to laying down and watching the sun set through the roof.

Should be a good bonding experience with her, it might calm down any remaining nerves she has from being away from us so long.

>>5694179

Again, literally a baby that's been separated from us for more than is probably healthy. And we should save this for Sage or something, this sounds like the sort of thing she'd get into.

As it starts to get dark, you hoist Nika up to your shoulders and head back to the apartment before settling down to meditate with her.

It takes a little coaxing, but a little help from Gareth and his Riolu later and you and Nika are meditating together.

You're almost overwhelmed by how happy she is. It's difficult to really concentrate on much else, but that's okay. After so long apart, you're just happy that she's happy.

She unsurprisingly takes well to meditating, so you just focus on getting her acquainted with Aura for half an hour until Gareth calls that dinner's ready.

You do like your camp cooking, but there's just something to be said for a meal in the comfort of home on your return that makes camping all that much more fun in your view.

Soon enough, you've finished up and Nika's dozed off on the couch next to Cinder.

"So guess i'm back on Gym duty? Pretty please." (Alex actually likes the work and teaching fire safety).
"Holly should make an appointment with a doctor for her legs."
Maybe shop around for various berry types/seeds ourselves (the type resisting berries should work best for this) and buy the TM for Natural Gift as we can get a shitload of things done with it (familiarizing our mons with types of energy they are unfamiliar with by practicing with different berry types).
Maybe think up how to clear up the city of TG goons in a safe manner not endangering ourselves or civilians.

"So, you want me back in the Gym?" You ask Fie after you've been settled quietly watching the series Fie put on for about half an hour.

"Up to you. If you'd rather just focus on training for the next week or whatever, that's your decision." She replies. "You've earned it, in my book. And considering how you changed up your team, you probably could use a week catching the rest of your pokemon up." She notes.

"I'll join in in the afternoons. I'm going to keep on playing Gym Trainer." Gareth says.

"And Clytie and I are going to work on psychic practice." Holly adds, backed by a nod from Gardevoir.

"Agreed on a name then?" You ask.

"Mmhm." Holly says. "Names are hard." She admits. "How d'you...?"

Depends on the pokemons personality mostly.

And Rusty was happy with a nice punn.

I think i'll keep at it with the gym by rotating Blitz and Sage along with getting familiar with the gyms pokemon.
I'll do practice and play with my team in the afternoon and evening depending on how the day goes.
Maybe learn a bit about breeders work and pokemon care.
Aside from that i think i'll aim for another fire type.
A Litten or Torchick would be great for my team.

"I just go with what I feel fits." You reply modestly. "Blitz likes to run, Sage has really grown into hers and Rusty, I just went with a pun."

"Oh... that must make things easy." Holly admits.

"Mm. Anyway, I think I'll keep rotating Blitz and Sage in the mornings and help with the gym and train everyone else in the afternoon." You say. "Maybe get another fire type."

"Not until you've trained up more of your current team, you won't." Fie says. "You're making a pretty common rookie mistake - spreading yourself too thin. Train up the pokemon you have now first." She advises.

>Oh. Alright then.

"Oh. Alright then." You reply.

You're abruptly reminded that you're still new to being a trainer.

Your success thus far has done wonders for your confidence but Fie's words have rather neatly brought you up short with the realisation that you actually can make mistakes.

She gives you a wry smile.

"Hey, we all start somewhere." She says.

"I know."

You watch another episode or two of the show Fie's queued up before everyone calls it.

>Get up early and start training.

>>5701620
>>Sleep in.

>>5701620
>Get up early and start training.
Give Rusty and Blitz some warmup/speed training and we race alongside them while practicing chanelling aura for movement (Agility training).
Make sure nobody overexerts or injures themselves.
Then when Fie comes around to join in resume boxing practice.

You sleep soundly and find yourself awake and alert about half an hour before your alarm.

You slip out of bed so as not to wake Gareth, before gathering up Blitz, Rusty and Nika's poke balls before heading down to the arena.

You set the former two to doing laps as speed training and a warm up, before settling down with Nika to do some more mediating after explaining the basic principles of Agility for her.

Six thirty start is a bit of a killer when it's a half hour drive though. Sleep schedule's finally starting to catch up though.

>>5702830

Noon nap or early bedtime helps the most in this regard.

You settle into a comfortable meditative mindset with Nika as Rusty and Blitz begin to run.

Blitz quickly laps Rusty, before just as quickly pulling close to Rusty to start giving him pointers on how to move and run more effectively.

He's actually a pretty good teacher when he wants to be, it turns out and soon, sooner than you'd expected, Rusty has finished a lap and started on a second.

Blitz returns to running himself after that, but Rusty's clearly taken the advice to heart and spends the next fifteen minutes internalising it while you work with Nika.

She makes great strides on Agility as well and soon enough, she's got it down pat, around about the time Fie comes in with Cinder.

"Had a productive morning already, huh?" She asks.

"Very." You reply.

"Well, let's keep it up, huh?" Fie suggests as Cinder squares up.

You nod, before setting Nika to doing some bag work while you spar.

In the meantime, you encourage Blitz and Rusty to keep running.

Things go pretty well - you're starting to get the hang of kickboxing and even managing to implement it more into your style and keep up with Cinder.

Blitz meanwhile, seems to have tuckered himself out, while Rusty just keeps on cruising, boosting himself up to a pretty respectable clip with Rock Polish. He won't be winning any medals in a sprint, but he's nippy for an Aron.

Nika meanwhile, is still fairly uncoordinated on the bag, but she's got the spirit and she hasn't tripped herself up yet.

When Fie calls a halt, you're hot and sweaty, but you're not exhausted.

Cinder chirps, nudges you ffably on the way past and heads back towards the apartment as Fie shakes her head.

"You're getting better at that." She says. "So, what's the plan today?" She asks.

"I'm going to train Rusty up some." You reply.

"Good place to start. Looks like Blitz could use a break, for one thing." Fie says. "Don't go letting Nika wear herself out either." She advises.

"I won't." You assure. "Oh yeah, turns out part of Holly's problem with walking is her feet. Apparently her dad never did anything about it."

"Of course he didn't." She says, shaking her head. "I'll talk to her about it and sort things out." Fie assures.

Guess he has the same disobedience problem as Blitz now (the same training method from the canine advisory manual applies now i guess).

>>5710241
>First for general training
More like he didn't have the best time in training rather than something specific like discipline issues.

>>5710369
It's a crit fail tho so something severe that needs attention is happening.
Discipline issues on a metal dinosaur are naturally bad.

>>5710438
Or he could get another concussion (in the same area no less), which is arguably worse and would be more in line with the trouble a crit fail could give us.

>>5710440
No just no.
General training exercise would mean he strained his muscles, there's sething wrong with his stamina or....
Here's a better suggestion.

After practicing Iron head Rusty started shedding his metal shell for the first time mid physical exercise and won't be able to train physically for a day or two until his new shell has hardened after growing.
He'll need extra food (meat and steel attributed berries) and a decent amount of select metal too (hurting Alex's pocket more than anything).
O suggest feeding him a Steel alloy with a sliver of Zinc and Silver mixed in.
Those form a flexible spring steel that will allow him to heal more easily.

>>5710440
>rusty gets out of commission because of a concussion and needs to rest
>we switch him back to train up after he's healed
>immediately gets another concussion

While the memelord in me agrees with another concussion, it'll be the shedding suggestion.

Fie leaves after that, leaving you to treat Blitz and Nika, before calling Rusty over.

He's all warmed up now and in short order, you're busily going over the basics of Iron Head with him.

The next hour, you spend practicing it and doing some training into the bargain.

It goes pretty well, up until you're just practicing Iron Head to confirm he's got it.

He pulls the move off flawlessly... and then his headplate cracks and shards fall off.

"Wha..."

Before your eyes, more pieces begin to flake off, before you hurriedly recall Rusty, then Nika and Blitz and race back inside and up to the apartment.

"What's wrong?" Fie asks in concern when she sees the look on your face.

"It's Rusty. We were just practicing Iron Head and his headplate cracked and started flaking off." You explain.

"Oh, he's shedding?" Gareth asks, opening his pokedex before thumbing through to the relevant entry and opening a sub-tab before showing you.

"Yeah, like that." You confirm as you study the pictures.

"Yeah, he'll be doing that for a day or two." Fie says. "Aron like to eat their shed carapace, so make sure you collect it all." She advises. "Also, get him some supplements. I think Justine mentioned that metallurgic formulae are kind of a good guide for developing Arons' carapace. I'll give her a ring and see if she's got any suggestions before I open properly." She says. "Still, there's a specialist store nearby you might want to go hit up after breakfast and I'll shoot a shopping list over to you." She says.

"You're a life saver." You say with feeling as Gareth hands you a plate of food.

"Just doing my job." Fie says modestly.

>Keep training.

>>5711735
>>Go buy supplements for Rusty.
Check supplements for Nika too since she'll be a Steel type too.

Razz, Pamtre and Babiri berries along with small dosage metalic solution supplements and some select metal alloy bars.
Expect 5k to be burned through.
Maybe take the chance to buy more varried berry seeds and the TM for Natural Gif too.

Hurry up with that and then.

>>Do a shift in the Gym.

>>5711735
>>Go buy supplements for Rusty.
>>Do a shift in the Gym.

I'll do a pokedex write in on Aron:

"Aron the Metal eating pokemon.
Known for their hard headedness and innate sturdyness these pokemon will take any opportunity to eat various kinds of metal in order to strenghten their caprace as they grow.
Rangers are specially employed to keep them away from railroads and bridges.
They shed their caprace twice in preparation for evolution.
The first time it occurs within their first week of hatching when they become ready for battle and the second right as they prepare to evolve.
They will eat any metal they come across during that period including discarded metal capraces of their own, remains from other steel type pokemon or steel types their parrents bring home as prey such as Forretress.
During the Lairon stage they can shed up to 9 times (recorded world record with the largest Alpha being attributed to Gym leader Riley of Hoenns Valley of Steel at 1.8m height and 360kg).
The number of times they shed at the Lairon stage determines their final size at the Aggron stage which is when they stop growing significantly lowering their need to eat metal.
Where an Aron can eat a small car, a Lairon a large truck Aggron on the other hand are much more fond of eating plant matter, select berries and any prey they hunt down.
At all stages it's reccomended to have small chunks of select Steel alloy and Steel type attributed Berries on hand to feed them as it helps them strengthen their capprace and expediate their recovery process after recieving injuries.
Shed metal plates of Aggron are an expensive comodity always in demand with the ship building industry thus offsetting the heavy expenses of raising them during their Lairon stage.
As with all rock types please beware of feeding them any ammount of everstone before their final evolution as it would end up becoming assimilated as a part of their body thus permanently crippling their growth."

Just re-read the whole quest via archive.
It's long but good.
Lots of stuff to dive into.
2 evil teams possibly led by Hollys and Fies dads.
Possible Groudon and Kyogre on top of the known Rayquaza.

>>5711735
>>Go buy supplements for Rusty.
Maybe grab a few everstone collars while we are at it.
>>Do a shift in the Gym.
Let's use Sage for today since Blitz is tired.
Alternate the two from now on for gym duties.
The one we train in the morning gets afternoon play.
The one we use for battle gets the rest of the day off for sleep/resting at our parrents home.
We can use the free spot on our team to train other mons or play with the ones we need to bond with.
For example taking KayO to the beach to let him bask in the sun and play in the sand while relaxing.

After breakfast and armed with some directions from Fie, you set out with Gareth, half-expecting to have to deal with Team Green at every corner.

You don't see a one, or any shifty hipsters, for that matter.

You get all the way to the store before anyone so much as gives you a second glance and when they do, it's a kid a few years your junior who perks up and waves, fumbling for a poke ball.

"Hey, either of you fancy a battle?" He asks.

Keep him away from Holly tho.

>>5714120
>Keep him away from Holly tho.
Why? Is it because he might figure out who she is (high class and all that)? I don't think it's likely.

>>5714128

"You're on." You say. "One on one suit?" You ask.

"Ready when you are then." The boy says, indicating to the plaza nearby where a court has been set aside for public use.

You square up at opposite ends while Gareth takes the referee position.

"Oh, I've not actually started the gym challenge yet." He says as an afterthought after he's selected a ball.

"This year, or over all?" You ask.

"Over all." He replies.

That narrows your field a little.

"Have you done any training at all?" You ask, concerned.

You really don't want to go bullying a kid literally just starting out.

"Some, but not a lot." The boy concedes.

"...What's your strongest pokemon?" You ask as you parse this response and get nothing useful out of the process.

"Buizel." The boy replies.

This is at least something to go off of.

"Alright then." You say, reaching down to your belt.

The kid's responses are infuriatingly vague, but you don't get the sense he's trying to play you, either. More, that he's got more enthusiasm than sense.

"Let's go, Buizel!" The kid says, releasing the pokemon in question.

You've gotten pretty good at judging how strong pokemon are by now and you feel absolutely no reservation about the pokemon you've selected in response.

"Queenie, you're up." You say, releasing the tiny Cutiefly in reponse.

"...Wow, that's... are you sure about this?" The kid asks dubiously.

"Absolutely." You confirm.

"Buizel, Aqua Jet!" The kid orders.

"Stun Spore." You counter.

Buizel charges and clips Queenie, in a spray of water, before Queenie dusts him with spores, which quickly have Buizel struggling for breath.

"Nice going, now Absorb." You order.

"Uh- uh, Bite!" The kid orders, with a level of desperation.

Buizel shudders as it's wracked by a coughing fit, before Queenie hits it with an Absorb that returns her aura to vibrant green from muted and plummets Buizel's to bruised orange.

"Way to go!" You cheer.

"Hang in there, Buizel." The kid encourages. "Rest up!"

At that, Buizel curls up and goes to sleep.

As you watch, its aura begins to revert to green and its breathing eases.

Queenie glows, before the sleeping Buizel is hit by shards of pale green light that sends its aura plummeting to the yellow and still, Buizel sleeps on.

"Alright, again!" You say.

Another wave of shards radiates from Queenie accompanied by a high-pitched whine that sets your teeth on edge and sends Buizel's aura plummeting into the grey.

He's out cold and actually sleeping now as the kid recalls him and his shoulders slump.

"...Good match." He says. "Was that Bug Buzz at the end there?" He asks as Queenie comes and lands on your shoulder.

"It sure sounded like it." You agree, before looking to where Queenie is perched. "Good job."

You receive a pleased buzzing of wings in reply.

"You... wanna trade numbers?" The kid asks, maybe have a rematch sometime?" He asks?

>Sure.
>Nah.

"Sure." You reply.

You swap numbers, before the kid starts.

"Oh, right. My name's Riley, what's yours?" He asks.

"Alex." You replied, shaking his hand.

"Pleased to meet you."

"Sorry we can't stick around, but I've kind of got stuff to do and shopping to see to." You add.

"Hey, no problem." Riley replies with a wave, before you part ways.

Looking around, you spot the specialist store you came for, but there're other stores around as well.

>Just get what you came for.
>Check out the saddlery.
>Check out the TM store.
>Check out a clothes store.
>Other

>>5721949
>>Just get what you came for.

Our mons need a rest and we can train up our weaker members like Queenue, Ayumi (Dragon rage op for low level matches) and Coolie by challenging random newbies.

It's tempting to get some new TMs or to look at a saddle for one of your pokemon but instead, you head for the specialist store and after a brief conversation with the clerk, are out five thousand credits for steel ingots, as well as zinc and silver supplements.

According to the message Fie sent with the suggestion, Aron can catalyse those metals into something akin to springsteel, which is more or less perfect for lightening Rusty's mass a little and helping him gain an edge in speed.

Head back for work at the gym ASAP.
Don't want no team green fags to gang up on us either.

Your primary reason for this trip finished with, you decide to go check out the TM store, in the hopes they have a manual for Natural Gift.

When you reach the door however, you see printed on it that the store doesn't open for another hour.

No, legit curious to see if you'd wait the hour to see if the shop was open.

>>5724394
With Gym work and goodboy points to be made with Fie why waste time?
Also there are delivery services in Arnet right?
Alex can just order it home.

>>5724343
>>5724390

Nope, you've got stuff to do.

This in mind, you and Gareth head back to the gym.

When you get there, Fie gives you an outline of a diet for Rusty for the week, then you head down to your spot in the Gym for the regular battles and fire safety lectures.

The day... doesn't go especially well.

It starts off alright. You lose a couple of battles, but no more than two hours in, you get a smartass in who ignores all your advice and instead of just building a campfire, proceeds to light the pile of kerosene soaked sticks he's built on top of the leaf litter and sets the whole room on fire.

You do eventually get it out, but you come out the other side of the fiasco with a burn on your arm and if Fie and the gym staff hadn't come in halfway through, you probably would've punched the guy.

As it stands, once the fire's out, the gym staff march the guy, who doesn't seem to understand how he fucked up on top of everything, out.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Fie says apologetically. "I should've warned you - he's a bit of a serial problem challenger." She confides. "He's never fucked up quite this badly though." She adds. "He was on his last warning, so this won't happen again." She assures.

"That's something at least." You agree as Fie finishes patching you up.

It's your left arm this time, at least, so it evens out Rascal's scratches on your right, but your left arm is going to be basically useless for the next week or so.

"You want to keep going, or just focus on training for the time being?" She asks. "It's going to take some time to fix this room up either way."

>Yeah, I'm good to keep going.
>No, I think I'll just focus on training until my arm is healed.
>Other

>>5725839
>>Yeah, I'm good to keep going.

>>5725839
>>Yeah, I'm good to keep going.

"As long as i have one good arm i can still teach.
I'll buy kingsleaf salve later to heal the burn ASAP tho.
Hope my leg isn't next."

We on page 9 nao.
New bread soon after the next 1 or 2 updates i guess.

>>5725839
>>Yeah, I'm good to keep going.
+1 on getting medicine later

For now lightly help with cleanup.
Make sure that we teach Sleep spore to Queenie later to put idiots out of commision bfeore they can set the room ablaze again.

>>5725861
>>5726015
>>5726054

"Yeah, I'm good." You assure.

Fie nods.

"Okay. I managed to get Holly an appointment to see a specialist this afternoon. I was going to ask if you'd go with her, but after this, I'm just going to punch the clock for a couple of hours and go with her myself." She says. "You can take it easy this afternoon and train with Gareth."

"I thought you said you'd get in trouble for unscheduled absences?" You ask.

"If they're consistent and for extended periods, sure, but a couple of hours here and there with a good reason attached is another matter." She replies. "Anyway, this'll take about fifteen minutes, so grab a snack if you want one.

You take her advice and grab a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits out of the bin on the table in the break room, before heading back when one of the staff come and give you a thumbs up.

The rest of the day isn't bad, per se, but all told by the end of it, you've not made any money either.

At least Blitz and Sage got some training in, but not much of it.

Lunch is fairly uneventful, before Fie and Holly head out for the appointment, leaving you and Gareth to train.

Queenie
Verify she can pull off Bug buzz consistently.
Then focus on power training for her (+SpA)

After that just light play with our pokemon, give rusty his snack and everyone a pettin session (Alex is weak to cute things).

Maybe jam in a meditation sesion with Gareth and look up curatives for burns on our phone.

After a bit of thought, you decide to train Queenie, focusing first and foremost on seeing if she's actually mastered Bug Buzz or just figured it out and see if you can improve her Special Attack into the bargain.

Gareth meanwhile, decides to train his Feebas some.

Over the course of the next hour, you do manage to confirm that she's learned Bug Buzz, but it's hard work for her and by the end of it, she's tuckered out and you don't notice any real improvement in the power of the move.

Gareth meanwhile has had his Feebas shooting targets with Water Gun as an endurance exercise and has managed to make some progress, but Feebas is likewise looking rather tired.

Given how often Alex gets injured this ought to be helpfull.
Reward both of them with snacks regardless of success.
Run this by Gareth first and see if he has any advice.
