It was a difficult struggle after that last pokemon battle. So Grey decided to give his pokemon a bit of a break by training in a hot spring allowing the salts and heat to help with the pain. For the most part he worked doing stretching and massauge in hopes of getting them to relax and good to go. After all the best way to build muscle and a healthy shine was a mixture of good exercise and healing. If he wanted to make pokemon that could compete this is what he had to do. It also helped him to see everyone having such a good time.

Vinny Drechsler

Amidst all the berrypicking and daydreaming about a utopia full of nothing but Magikarp and Magikarp accessories, Vinny found himself with more time to think than even he could fill with Magikarp fantasies. Thoughts began to wander through his mind. Some he entertained for a bit, some he dismissed almost instantly, but one stuck in his mind for quite some time. This rare Magikarp he had caught. It deserved more power!

It was an epiphanic moment for the trainer. Life-changing, in fact, for this would mean he would have to devote some of his berrypicking time to training this beautiful creature, and that was something Vinny had never even considered doing before. Few things were more important.

With just a little more mulling it over, he decided upon the style of training he would do for the day. The training would last not a single second longer or shorter than 90 minutes, perhaps split into two sessions with a ten-minute break in between, during which he and his Pokémon could snack on delicious berries.

The Magikarp trainer ran as fast as he could toward the nearest lake he could remember seeing. Thankfully, it wasn't too far away and it was even empty at this time of day aside from Vinny himself. This would be the perfect place to become the ultimate Pokémon! Vinny reached into his pocket, carefully grabbed the ball that contained the majestic shiny Magikarp, and gently released it onto the shoreline.

"Felix!" he called out. He tried to continue, but for the moment, he simply couldn't. His hands were trembling in the mere presence of this literally perfect creature. The concept that he had even seen a Pokémon so rare and sought after was already a dream come true for him, but to make one part of his party - to make it one of his best friends... He may as well have died and gone to heaven. It was almost too much for him.

But his tears of pure joy would have to wait, for he had a schedule to keep! After nearly a minute straight of doing everything he could not to cry, he finally swallowed the lump in his throat and began to outline how they would train for the day.

"Felix! Today ve shall make history!" He clenched his fist in front of him and then pointed to the other side of the lake. "Ve shall svim! Ze first to reach ze other side vill get zwei portions of ze berries!"

As if intensely motivated by his own promises, he immediately ran ahead of the creature and dove into the water head-first, counting down from three as fast as he could speak and shouting "Go!" just before hitting the water.

The shiny Magikarp seemed confused, but only for a moment. It had been given a challenge - a goal - and the reward was more than enough to get it going. Without wasting another second, Felix ran after his trainer and jumped in the water, only sinking to his hips, and paddled like he had never paddled before in hopes of beating his trainer to the other side.

Kathos Sigon

"Okay, Sting! We haven't trained in some time!" Sigon crouched next to the Honedge. "I think it's time Parfait gets a rest and you get your chance to shine!" It was somewhat difficult to tell if the sword Pokémon was happy about its day to train or not, but for all intents and purposes, Sigon assumed this was a day it had waited for for a while.

"Now, I've got a plan! I've set up a series of targets that you'll need to cut down as fast as you can while navigating through this obstacle course. If you can get through it all in good time, I'll give you a special treat!" Sigon explained the details and pointed over to a series of trees and stumps with ropes tied around in a maze-like fashion. "There's a rubber piggy on each of the stumps. Cut each one of them in half without cutting the rope and you win!" In all honesty, Sigon probably would give the sword the treat either way, but he had to motivate him somehow, didn't he?

Sting turned his gaze to the course Sigon had set up. It seemed simple enough. He was quite agile despite his looks, and the spacing of the trees left plenty of margin for error. He could theoretically just float over the ropes and swoop down on the piggies to save all the trouble, but his trainer probably wouldn't accept that as a viable method to be rewarded for. No, he had to go through the course as it was intended.

Silently, he floated on over to the beginning of the course and proceeded to completely exceed all of Sigon's expectations. In a record thirty-one seconds, Sting had effortless soared through the course, sliced every harmless rubber piggy clean in half, and ran back around the ropes to the starting point. Happiness and determination were expressions he wasn't the greatest at conveying, but he donned the most triumphant of faces upon completion of the course.

"Fantastic job, Sting!" Sigon cheered with his arms in the air, "Maybe next time I oughtta make the course a lot harder! But for now, here's your treat! We can start another session in a few minutes." Sigon reached into his pocket, retrieved a pouch full of berries he had picked before the training session started, and pulled out three of the spiciest berries he had found there.

"Here they are!" he chimed. "Your favorite!"

Corey trains Chomps for 1 hour.

"Alright Chomps! Time for some old-fashioned work out!"

Corey and Chomps spend an hour doing all sorts of exercises, from squats, to sprints, to push-ups and crunches. After limbering up with some stretches before and after, the duo was exhausted, relaxed, and pumped up.

THANE

"Yes, YES! Pedal harder! The forest approaches!" The great illustrious THANE and his sidekick Troy had found a bicycle on the side of the road and agreed that it would be worth the trouble to break the lock tying it down and ride the inferior vehicle the rest of their way home. The only problem was that the authorities had caught wind of their actions and were now chasing them down. The irrepressibly sagacious THANE knew, of course, that under these circumstances they couldn't continue on their way home. It would be a culpable blunder to lead them straight to his base of operations. So, in light of the circumstances, the brilliantly calculated THANE opted instead to lead them into the forest and try to lose them there.

The Spinda grunted its agreement, pedaling as hard as it could toward the trees ahead. They were closing fast, but so too were the officers on their tails. It was apparent that they may not make it to safety before they were caught.

But in the nick of time, the boundlessly quick-witted THANE hatched a plan so devious that nothing could possibly go wrong! "Troy! Initiate escape protocol fourteen! THANE will never be captured!" He yelled just quiet enough that the officers behind them shouldn't be able to hear, but loud enough that he would be crystal clear to his Pokémon.

"S-spin!?" the Pokémon replied. It had apprehensions about the plan.

"Nonsense!" the irrefutably glorious THANE chided as if he knew exactly what the Spinda was saying. "There is more than enough to spare! You will obey!" He clenched a fist at the Spinda as he turned to command it.

The Spinda was visibly saddened by what it had to do, but his trainer did bring up a good point. And it was for a good cause. So, with great solemnity, Troy pulled a huge leather bag from seemingly nowhere and began dumping its contents all over the ground behind them. Rubber piggies bounced and flopped all over, toppling to and fro, but most importantly causing a huge obstacle that blocked the paths of both officers chasing them down.

"Haha! The power of THANE compels you!" the intrinsically majestic THANE cackled, now joining Troy in the pedaling that would propel them to safety. Truly he was the most strategic and amazing Pokémon trainer who ever lived! The officers Jenny would never catch him at this rate! And lucky for the heartily clandestine THANE, they hadn't seen his face. They could never track him down so long as he ditched the bike after making it to safety! He was absolutely brilliant!

Moments after the beautiful turn of events, the two made it to the forest, traveling deeper and deeper until they could no longer see the city. Even then, they continued further, zigzagging sporadically to help throw off the trail and make them harder to find. Once the undyingly dazzling THANE decided they had gone far enough, they stopped and left the bike on the ground in a small clearing deep in the forest. There it would stay until some wanderer happened upon it.

"Come, Troy! Home is this way!" He pointed in an arbitrary direction and motioned the Spinda to follow him.

"Alright, Bolt, ready...? Let's go!" Daniel and Bolt took off, running top speed. The target? A tree 100 meters in the distance. It was a race, and a surprisingly even one at that; the two of them were neck-and-neck. This was a regular sort of speed and endurance training, which Dan felt he and Bolt were long overdue in doing. Dan had focused most of his training time on the young Rue lately, but didn't wish to neglect his other friends. That's why he was starting his training day with Bolt, despite the fact that he didn't especially need the training most right now. He'd not had a chance to work and run with his partner as much as he wished. So for the next half hour, the two of them competed, running to different targets of varying distances, with Dan keeping tally of who beat who. In the end, Bolt won by just a couple races.

Once the two of them had completed their racing, Bolt went off to rest and Dan spent time with Rue, making sure she was well nourished and happy. As Rue was still fairly young, he wasn't about to over-exert her with too much intensive training. Instead, he decided it was best to just spend time with her. Dan decided that now was a good time to bring out Thistle to get her more familiar with the group. She still wouldn't allow Dan to touch her, but after a short while, she seemed more relaxed, and got along well enough with the other two. For the most part, though, she seemed to simply lounge around in the shade. Given time, he felt she'd make an excellent addition to the team.

By spending time with Rue, Dan ended up learning more about the young Petilil. She enjoyed gardening quite a bit, so Dan watched patiently as she tended nearby wildflowers. He even stepped in to help on occasion. Rue was usually a very passive, non-interactive Pokemon, but while gardening Dan found her to be much more responsive and forward. It was refreshing to see her being so passionate and focused.

"Ahhhhh, that was a nice break. Now, who wants lunch?" All three of them perked up at the mention of Dan's cooking and excitedly crowded around while he made their meals. Even Thistle.

Lynne Lockley

It was finally Deckard's time to shine! Ruby, Webzy, and Honeydew were out playing and Deckard got to train. Lynne had Deckard running around, charging into targets that she had set up around the field. He charged all over, hitting each target with a satisfying thud. Lynne chased after him, giving him a pat on the head after each successful attempt. Webzy had gone and found some tree to climb, Ruby was laying in the sun, tongue out, panting with joy. Honeydew had wandered off into the bushes, so Deckard got to hog all of Lynne's attention.

Nearing the end of his training, Deckard's coat began to crackle with built up electricity, As he charged a dummy, everything discharged in a small bolt of lightning. Lynne was shocked. "Wow, Deckard! You learned a new move! That must be Thunder Shock. I'm so proud of you!" It was true, Lynne was proud of all of her Pokemon, and loved to watch them grow. They seem pretty happy too, when they learned a new move. She dove into Deckard, giving him a giant hug. The static from his coat tickled, but Lynne didn't get shocked.  She repeated herself. "I'm so proud of you, Deckard!" Deckard looked at her, bleating happily.

Hiro, Kora, and the yet to be named slowpoke for 1.5 hrs together[/info]

After the day of relaxation They were ready for some underwater training with wates and different types of jumps and laps. Grey tightened a belt of weights around hero and had him doing all kinds of laps. The key was to get him to getting him working his entire body at the same time. While with Kora he had her jumping through hoops from the water. His slowpoke was busy paddling on the bottom as if it was on a track to better his endurance.
