CAEDMON, TRAINING

[CAEDMON]

elias doesn't really know how to train clefairy. she's not really a fighter, and she doesn't have many attack moves. so basically, he insists that she use metronome over and over and see what comes up. clefairy isn't a huge fan of this idea. she can't control what attack she uses. elias seems to think she can. clefairy uses metronome. clefairy uses grass knot. clefairy uses metronome. clefairy uses baby-doll eyes. clefairy uses metronome. clefairy uses memento. clefairy faints. that's frustrating.

he tries mandibuzz next, but he is only interested in using finger guns to send off rapid dark pulses. they just rebound off nearby trees as the cowpoke gets lost in his own imagination.

slowbro is the only one who cooperates. he swims laps. and although he listens to elias, he swims said laps very slowly. very slowly. and when he finishes, he sends out flurries of psychics. very slowly.

elias face palms. (+12 to slowbro, clefairy, mandibuzz, +2 to the rest

+ 12 LEVELS +2 for the rest! gg to all the pokemon!

ugh training posts are no fun and elias is so sick of training by now but in reality this is only my second training post since v3 opened. that's pretty bad.

i suppose they're running on a track and jumping hurdles, but elias is the only one jumping. banette slides right underneath and sinks into the ground to avoid the hurdles. mismagius can float right over them, and aggron just tramples them down. you could call it cheating, but hey, the pokemon are using skills that they use in battle. it's ok with elias.

it was at first anyway, but when he loses a race to a like, an 800 lbs aggron, he is very disappointed.

+12 to aggron, mismagius, banette, +2 to ditto, dratini and charmander

pinpuku liked exercise. or, at least what she called "exercise." she didn't want to do any running, swimming, fighting or weight-lifting. that was all yucky stuff and yucky stuff made you sweat. and sweat was yucky. so instead she was dancing. twirling her so-called 'pirouettes' and leaping up into the air. rhea shook her head.

"can't she actually do anything useful?" she muttered to herself. pinpuku turned in a huff. "this is useful." and she continued along, struggling to preform like the dancers she often saw preforming on proserpina streets. "it's beautiful."

"i'm beautiful!" and she leapt her way to victory, clutching her oval stone.
+3 levels and an evolution!! <3

+3 LEVELS can she kill scourge tho

you know what i should be happier with this training system because i levelled up a dratini from lvl 5 to level 53 in one thread today and that's totally ridiculous.

speaking of elias's dratini (which has since evolved into a dragonair), it's swimming. and it's a pretty good swimmer, slipping through the water rapidly. it's eel-like body allows it to move without much resistance, unlike larger and bulkier pokemon. elias is in the pool too, but only because it's a tad too warm outside today. spring has sprung.

breloom doesn't mind the warm weather. he prefers it actually, because his leech seed seems to sprout a bit faster than usual. he sends a flurry of punches and kicks to the training dummies and then wipes a bit of sweat of his face.

absol just watches the breloom. studies him. he'll use some of those techniques in battle, too.

+12 to dragonair, breloom, absol. +2 to charmander, ralts, bagon

(no one officially gave me levels last time...but i ain't go'n let chu determine when i train, madafuggahs.)

it wasn't even really fair for elias to train with these pokemon--they were different in level and skill. but still, his tiny ralts insisted upon fighting the much larger, strong aurorus, and elias didn't want to anger her, so he obliged. charmander was scared of both of them, and just decided to hide behind a tree and scorch some pictures into the bark.

aurorus basically one-shotted ralts. the tiny thing didn't really get a chance; afterwards she practiced her confuse ray a bit though.

+12 to aurorus, ralts, charmander, +2 to breloom, absol, bagon

aurorus froze the pool over by accident when she used an ice beam earier today, so elias was ice skating. eventually most of his pokemon came to join him-- it was only minutes before he had his whole team out.

absol had trouble because it was on four legs, but eventually figured things out and performed a beautiful swords dance on ice. elias clapped and teared up a bit-- who knew that a pokemon could create such a beautiful yet violently perfect display.

although absol was a good dancer, kirlia was a great one. she was classically trained after all-- and she wow'd all of the others when she put on a pairs skate with her own double team.

(+12 to kirlia, charmeleon, aurorus +2 to absol, breloom, bagon)

pinpuku's name wasn't pinpuku anymore. she evolved so..pinpuku (happiny's japanese name) didn't really make sense anymore. she was a chansey now, with a reeeeeaaaally shitty shiny sprite and a reeeeeeaaaaally shitty japanese name.


that sucks. and her name is "lucky."
thanks, gamefreak, well done.

"lucky" was training like a total champ ballerina, throwing around her doubleslaps and sweet kisses errywhere. rhea wasn't really amused by the cutesy display--she'd much rather see something vicious. like a flamethrower. maybe when "lucky" evolved into a blissey she could finally teach it some real moves. but hey, somehow this made "lucky" stronger so...rhea was okay with it.

+ LEVELS rhea gets + 3!

i'm tired so this is gonna be a lazy post
the pokemon were skirmishing because i finally leveled up gardevoir and charizard to aurorus's level. aurorus had the offensive capabilities and the movesets to just....demolish them both, so they were having a 2 vs 1 battle.

aurorus used discharge on both of them with a swift movement, also firing off a thunder wave at the gardevoir. charizard was struck to the ground by the discharge but quickly retaliated with a heat wave and smokescreen combo, whilst the gardevoir concentrated and sent a magical leaf hurtling towards aurorus.

the dinosaur used it's HP boost and proceeded to 2HKO them with ancient power and more discharges.

(+12 to gardevoir, charizard, aurorus +2 to absol, eevee, bagon)

+ LEVELS cool

elias was texting because well, he does that all the time in threads now. when he finished the text he started playing 2048, which is a never-ending black hole, so the pokemon were basically left to their own devices.

and obviously, when pokemon are left to their own devices, they have pie eating contests. umbreon was really quick to finish the pies, but in reality she was just chewing the pie and pretending to throw it up on the grass. bagon was just flamethrowering the pies, and therefore horsea was the only one who was going by the rules.

she ate 3 whole pies. umbreon chewed and spat out 11, and bagon won with a staggering 17.

how is this training. i guess i justify it as "hit points training" because game freak likes to make the pokemon that are bigger (wailord, blissey, snorlax) have the most HP, so. yeah.

(+12 to umbreon, horsea, bagon, +2 to blastoise, vaporeon, torkoal)
