A boy of about fifteen came into the clearing his boots stepping onto the grass that was seeming a litle brown at this time. The sunlight beat off his hair which he had done it dark brown and the front part spiked upward. As a brisk breeze came through catching the coatils of his jacket in which he always wore for one it was his nly one which he had taken with him and it was something he had recieved for a birthday gift from his father. Sure it was great for the transitonal periods, but it was suitable for the winter thecold seeped right through the coat as the summer wasn't well either for it made you sweat extra hard because of it. However he wore it as well as a white shirt in which fashioned with his favorite symbol a flame down the middle adn blue jeans. His eyes pierced across the clearing wodnering if it was the perfect spot to train, then he nodded signaling to himself that this was the place!
"Alright gang let's get ready to train!" As he threw up five single pokeballs and they rained down beams of red ight that seemed to transform from light to solid each changing into different kinds of pokemon. First was one that showed a beautiful sky blue pokemon which seemed to fit more with someform of water as it landed on the earth, but before it did he was ready as he had a bowl filled with water ready for this occasion as it jumped inside. Second was a weird thing for it semed like half of its body was a shell a huge one and it poked its head showing a fiery red neck and a head adn out of the back a reddish tail. Third was a bird who was round in away its wings sprang outward with brown fur and brown wings its talons sharp and ready. Fourth Another yet bluish color it seemed to be of an earthy value as it looked at its master. Fifth A rock with only the two arms and triangular shaped eyes. And finally one whom never really liked his pokeball ever! it was his pride and joy a seemingly darker red then the fire slug and had two arms and legs with claws sharp as always. A tail raised from the back with a flame rising out of it. it was his lifeforce you might say and its head wasa weird shape, but he was ready oh yes everyone was ready for a training!
(Sea:Horsea, Lava: Magcargo, Quake: Quagsire, Claw: Hoothoot, Dude: Geodude, Flame: Charmeleon)
::As all six of them saw the field in which they where to train in and they all had their preferences so no one was liking this however they did know that they needed to get ready for they had defeated only Pewter and Cereulean gyms and now they where to face a brute of a gym leader it was Lt. Surge the leader of the Thunder Gym or as so they called it taht for he used electric pokemon in all of his battles in fact that was all he had in his arsenal was electric pokemon. "Alright everyone we need to get ready this one is going to a big challenge for all of us!" the young man seemed to call to his pokemon and so he though of ways to make them stronger, faster, and more agile then Lt. Surges own for they used immense light to carry the attacks where he will be using two fires, one ground, one water, one flying/psychic, and a rock pokemon. So either they'd have to work in groups or they would have to survive against themselves to do what they needed to do to win!::
::Yes indeed he was getting ready for a battle which was seeming more like a war to him as he and his pokemon put themselves throuh tests that would draw them to be stronger and faster and possible more agile, but the only way he would know is if he tested them and so that is what he did. He had no idea of how he'd be able to really train the horsea for it was one that needed to survive inthe water adn so it was a challenge that they both would have to do better with. He didn't want to train the charmeleon just yet for it had already leveled up and it ha as well evolved into the next stage so he strained himself from using him which made the fire salamander a little tuchy and angry as well. For this was his pride and joy an he wasn't going to train him just yet? So he'd thought he'd try first with the ones that would need the most which where at that moment the hoothoot and the geodude who seriously needed to get it in gear and strain the leveling up. So that is exactly what he did.::
"Alright now Claw and Quake I'm going to test you two both I want you to both go as fast as you can to the edge ofthe clearing and try to get back to me as son as you can and keep on repeating it this will help with your speed!" He said making them feel better abut the command in which he had just given them. As he waited to see who would become victorious at the end of the time in which he had in set for he had an idea of how long to make them do this. So the hoothoot spread its wings and started to fly as best and fast as it could as the Quagsire started running with all of its might it was a race for victory John on the tips of his feet wondering who would reign supreme in his challenge ofcourse he knewthat Flame would of done good for himself, but he was fast enough already. So they watched asthese two athletes kept on going back and forth to one edge to the other!
::As the time had started both where off ready to try both of their best as the magcargo slide as fast as it could and the Hoothoot flew as fast as it could trying to pace itself for this was a classic case of a race between the tortoise and the hare. As it slunk as fast as it did the hoothoot of course being a nocturnal pokemon got a little tired after awhile for it could survive in the daylight, but not that long and so it picked out a lonely tree in the open field as it waited for the magcargo to slink its way towards where it was. Taking a light doze thinking that it'd be alright to catch some winks so it'd be awake when the moon came up. Although as it had made it to the edge of the field the magcargo was on its way back to its trainer when the hoothoot finally awoke. Seeing that now the slow one had made it to the edge of the field it tried to fly as fast as it could to the edge of the field beating its wings faster than it ever had before. Its wings was beginningto get heavy, but no it wouldn't be beat by this slug.
As for the magcargo it was happy cause it was pacing itself and not stressing about the fact that it had to et back first. It was just happy that it was having something to do then to just be in a pokeball or slugging along. It was liking its odds at this point adn time while the finish line seemed prominant as the night bird was almost caught up to the one on the ground. As it saw that it would barely win if it kept this up, but its wings where getting so heavy it could barely beat them ,but no it had to press on even if it fainted from exhaustion it would try to win it would not live with itself if a slug beat it!::
As the finish line was showing itself to both John saw both of them and was a littleworried about the owl for it looked like it was a little tired and its wings where flapping out of beat as if one wing was heavier than the other, where as Lava was just going at its own pace going along and he was able to put two adn two together and get the right answer he had guessed that Claw had stopped for a snooze and Lava got the drop on him. Watchingthis scene unfold as the slime from the magcargo was iminant on the ground and that it was following its own trail back to him. He was a little surprised and proud of this one for he caught the hoothoot before the magcargo knowing what it could do and that it would be able to pace itself in a pinch! Although he was a bit worried that claw would possible be wanting a nice long rest after this for it looked a little beat hell it was being beaten by something on the ground. However he waited to see who would be supreme in this race!
::As they are in a stalemate and it seems like it would come down to a tie the camerupt and the Hoothoot are neck to neck and it is coming down to the wire as Johnny starts to get nervous with anxiety wondering who would be victorious. it seemed like they would both win, but at the last and final second it was Lava who prevailed in this race even though Claw had put most of its effort into it even though it had taken a rest on the other side it still tried. The noctournal pokemon looked like it was beaten to the core as if it had used all of its strength to try and make it seem better to be in the air then on the ground, but still the same solution came that the one who was on the ball and paying attention had beaten the other.::
"its alright Claw you did your best and that is what counts!" John said to it hoping to encourage the bird as the fire-like type pokemon was happy for it had been able to get the job done and they had both improved their speed by a good measure. Question is what to test them on now? However that would be another story for now it was a chance for two other pokemon to show their worth in the speed category!
"Alright Quake and Dude now its your guys's turn to race do your best and don't worry if you don't win or not you are both winners no matter what!" He said encouraging them to try their very most best at this. As the blue Quagsire and the gravily rock colored pokemon stepped up ready to go as fast as that pokemon could as they both stepped to the line in which indicated the starting point both showing faces of competition for they had abandoned their friendly ones and picked up their game faces.
::Geodude and Quagsire both got ready to race hoping that one would be able to win over the other. Although the only difference between them was one had two extra limbs to help them and one only had two limbs that could start them off, but would do better on hills. Still the race was now on as the four limbed pokemon started pumping its legs and going as fast as it could. while the other used it upper body strength to roll its body along which was a tad difficult in the grass still it tried its best to get started.
Finally it had started to roll quite a good distance until it hit a snag and the one with legs had gotten a good distance as well until it saw its companion get hit and that was when it helped the other as it used an attack called "Earthquake" which hopefully would help it get going faster it wouldn't know for by the time it got back down onto the ground the quagsire was already heding towards the end of the field looking back hoping that the geodude would be able to get over to the edge without a problem?
Now just like the last one it waited not to long, but long enough for the geodude to try and catch up to it maybe like twenty minutes and then it started going again thankfully the other waited long enough for the legless pokemon to get at least to the edge of the field which was a good thing as it pivoted around to get started on the return journey back. This time the field was on a downward slope which gave the rock type some leeway and hopefully a chance to win. As if the ground type didn't know this was going to happen as it tripped on itself on accident. As the geodude seemed to be going faster on the return it was starting to blaze down the field the Quagsire noticed this and tried to pick up its pace after getting up from falling down. Now both where blazing across the field one rolling and one running both as fast as they could hoping that, that pokemon would win and get to the finish before the other.::
