zym, training

[zymology]

Vincent knew that the little charmander was just a hatchling, and that he couldn't be too cruel with her in training. But if she was going to be of any use to him, she had to start leveling up! Thus far, she was practically useless - it would be suicide for her to battle anything at all. So Cindy had to train whether she liked it or not.

The yellow lizard lay on the ground, grumpily refusing to train. "Come on, Cindy! Just run one lap and bite the dummy or something, and we'll call it a day" Vincent tried encouraging. No success. He held in his sigh, knowing that anything demotivating would definitely ruin the whole session.

Vincent went down on one knee, closing in on the blazing, little reptile. "Cindy, sweety... I overheard Triton and Hannibal talking the other day. You know what they said?" he said manipulatingly. Cindy now seemed a bit interested. This was progress. "They said that you'd never be as strong and fearsome as them. They think they're better than you" Vincent said.

Only seconds after his last spoken word, the charmander combusted into training. She used the move tailwind and ran three laps in no time, and the dummy was practically obliterated after a couple of tackles and a fearsome crunch. Vincent couldn't help but smile on how strong the little pokemon would become, and how easily manipulated she was.

"OK, Cindy, now let's continue. You're doing great!" Vincent said, knowing it wasn't true. The last ten minutes, the lizard sat rigidly, either asking for food or simply ignoring him. Vincent would give her something to eat, if it wasn't for the fact that quite recently, Cindy had eaten a large, very expensive tauros steak. She had stole it from his dinner plate. Vincent had forgiven her, of course, but now she had evolved an exquisite palette which he could not afford. This young pokemon was proving to be very difficult.

Cindy sat, frustrated, even after the motivation. Vincent was at a loss. What to do now? And then, a miracle happened. Cindy let out an enormous burp, almost lifting her off the ground, before rising to her feet and stretching. She looked at the obstacle course constructed by Vincent and, using tailwind, swiftly glided through it. Vincent had set up dummies at the end of the course in a triangular fashion, which must have reminded Cindy of bowling. She tackled them vigorously, scoring nine points. Cindy looked disappointed up at the remaining dummy, and with a small cough pushed it over with her small arm. "Spare!" Vincent shouted at her, congratulating the charmander. After all of that, she was still a really powerful pokemon indeed.
