Training

Training

Gaia snorted at that but left the matter alone as she got up and stretched causing her carapace the pop and crackle. She walked over to the frankly huge boulder that now covered the entrance of the entrance and with Vulcans help pushed it aside. We left the cave after that and made our way over to the training area ignoring the rain falling from the sky. I had a new appreciation for the rain after living in the wilderness of Hoenn and savored the feeling of the cool water streaming down my now semi long hair and over my skin.-

Gaia didn't seem to mind the rain all that much but Vulcan was uncomfortable in it which made sense considering his typing. We soon made it to the training ground that was covered in thick mud from the sand getting thoroughly wet. Turning to my two pokemon I speak up "Alright so the object of todays training is to improve Vulcan's mastery of non attacking moves such as sunny day , leer and roar. To keep it fair Gaia will also only be allowed to use non attacking moves , other than that she will also not be allowed to use sandstorm as despite being a weather move it will cause damage over time." I explained to both of them.-

Vulcan got excited when it heard that they were going to be fighting but seemed to deflate a bit when I laid out the rules of this spar. 'Battle junky it looks like , I'll need to keep that in mind.' I thought to myself before motioning for them to get in position. Once ready I called out "START!" and Gaia of course went first due to her much higher move mastery and used rock polish to up her speed.-

Vulcan took a moment but a white glow built up around his eyes before they flashed causing Gaia to relax her muscles a bit lowering her defense which was the effect of leer. Despite starting earlier than Vulcan , Gaia finished her move after it since rock polish took a few moments to pull off. Vulcan had clearly had enough of getting wet however and it gathered fire energy into it's mouth the moment it finished leer and shot a glowing red orb high into the air dispersing the rain in a small area as it created a sort of dome of fire energy rich air.-

Gaia however made her throat glow white before screeching at Vulcan causing his defense to drop even lower than hers did as the energy infused soundwaves hit him. That was the straw that broke the camels back however as Vulcan had already gotten tired of trading stat decreases and dashed forwards spraying mud behind it. Gaia didn't seem to react at all to its sudden acceleration but just before it was set to arrive she leapt to the side rapidly. Vulcan tried to turn to chase after her but mud wasn't great for getting traction.

Rather than turn on a dime like it would be able to normally , Vulcan instead rolled as momentum and unsure footing took over sending it barreling into a rock shard literally head over heels. "CRASH!" the sound was loud and made me wince just thinking about how bad it had to hurt. Pokemon were tough things though and Vulcan got up and shook off the mud with an upset expression. Gaia meanwhile had a mocking look on her face and was rumbling in laughter which really seemed to set Vulcan off. 'Short temper as well , Vulcans going to be a handful alright.' I thought with a sigh.-

Vulcan squatted down and did something surprising , it glowed white on all four legs before shooting forward many times faster than before. This clearly wasn't a move of any sort or it would show up on it's appraisal but it did use move energy which was odd. Gaia was obviously not expecting this and barely managed to dodge though she got hit on the hip by Vulcan. It was only at that point I figured it out and couldn't help but grit my teeth at the unfairness of it.-Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
