Minor League. [/hider] [hr] [color=#d3381c]"Great!"[/color] Claire released Frans, patting him roughly on the back. [color=#d3381c]"First things first! You got your pokeballs? Favorite snack? Partner in crime? Safety goggles? Rock climbing gear? Dumbbells?"[/color] Claire ran through a quick, rather daunting checklist. [color=#d3381c]"Everything? Great! Now the most important thing...is your battle face."[/color] Claire stood in front of Frans now, a serious expression on her features, hands on her hips as she started her 'training' in earnest. [color=#d3381c]"You wanna catch pokemon? You gotta make 'em fear you!"[/color] Claire quickly flashed the Castle Medal. [color=#d3381c]"I wrestled with a Pangoro in Mt. Strength and earned their respect! So lemme see it!"[/color] Claire paused long enough for him to give her a questioning look before shouting loudly again. [color=#d3381c]"I said let me see your battle face!"[/color] From now, Frans might be questioning whether if this was worth it, and if he continued he'd be put through a few more trials. After the battle face, Claire had him try a 'battle stance'. Had to totally intimidate your opponent with your amazing battle posture after all. She would then order him to use them both on a pokemon. After that likely trainwreck, Claire would then inform him of the value of physical training and stamina in order to contend with hostile wild pokemon - and would order him to do 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, and a 10km run. If he needed motivation for the run, she'd Del to chase him. Where'd she get that whistle from? She'd give it a loud blow every time he looked like he was slacking. Paravati and Ralia would likely show back up after that. Ralia, dizzy and slightly sick from the acrobatics, spun dramatically and face planted into the ground. Was this entirely needed? Nah, she just wanted to mess with him a little bit. Besides, everything she was doing was [i]totally[/i] important. In fact, the part about type advantages she briefly touched on was likely the most important thing. Next was some training for Paravati. Testing the limits of the Togekiss' agility and battle ability. It was obvious she was way to strong to be picking on tiny little baby pokemon. So she'd need to actually restrain herself a bit to injure them just right. Claire would then order Paravati to attack Frans to learn restraint in her attacks. And lastly, to bring all the team work together - Claire would order them to find a wild pokemon, engage it in battle. She would once again, watch from a safe distance with Ralia eating some sort of pokemon snack from her shoulder.
