Ah yes, the TRHQ Training Center is a place Will spends a lot of his time. The series of rooms has all of the state-of-the are training services and not just for Pokemon. Aspiring Agents must also train their minds and bodies to be as strong as they can be. Will has spent many an hour beside his Charmander, Ragnarok, doing various exercises and drills. From lifting weight, running laps, doing aerobics, and practice battling, Will and Ragnarok train hard every day, aspiring to become stronger.
"Come on now, Ragnarok! Use ember on that target!" Will commanded, pointing at the stuffed rattata across the room. The Charmander ran full speed in a half circle before jumping and spinning rapidly, little flames showering the arena and burning up the rattata target.
"Good job, Rag. Now we need to teach you dragon rage.." Will was determined to get Ragnarok as strong as he could to complete his goal.

Cal strolled through the HQ boredly, looking from room to room. She would have been out and about doing something productive, but to put it frankly, she was lost. She had been wandering around for a more than an hour. As she walked she took in the sights, she thought better to learn your surroundings as you go. She had passed quiet a few Team Rocket members before coming across the gym. In it, she could hear someone training with their pokemon.
Curiosity overcame her leading her toward the gym. She poked her head in, looking at the surroundings. Just a normal gym equipped for human and pokemon needs. Cal walked in casually, looked at the grunt and his Charmander, and sat on the equipment. She fiddled with the equipment while the grunt's training continued.

Training was going well, or so Will felt. Ragnarok was learning fast and growing strong, his tail always blazing brilliantly in a black and blue flurry. The Charmander continued scratching and biting and burning the target dummies until he was told to take a five minute break. Will fed the little guy some pokepellets and a cool bowl of water and decided to grab his own bottle which was left near the exercise equipment.
"You're doing great, Rag. Let's keep it up and soon you'll grow strong enough to evolve." Will smiled very slightly and patted the Charmander on the head as it ate slowly. Scarfing your food too fast after an intense training session could only lead to pain due to cramps.
Will turned toward the other end of the gym where he had left his gear, including the shirt of his uniform. Now, Will didn't like to boast about his physique but working just as hard as your pokemon tended to give good results to your body. Will was obviously toned and not entirely unskilled in hand-to-hand combat, having studied for years on his own after his father passed away.
Will froze a moment as he noticed the girl watching him and wondered how long she had been sitting there. After that moment, Will shrugged and walked toward his gear, wiping off the perspiration of his brow and underarms with his towel before taking a long drink of cool water. He sighed contently, capping the bottle, and setting it down on the floor before looking up at the female grunt. "Enjoying the show?"

Cal smiled, unfazed by the shirtless grunt. "You and your pokemon did some great training out there." She winked and laughed as she eyed the male grunt. His red, spiky hair complimented his blue eyes. He didn't look half bad standing there just after his work out. But as Cal looked up at him, he seemed to tower over her. She didn't want to have to look up at this male grunt from where she was sitting.
She stood up, waving her had casually. "I'm Cal, it's nice meeting you." She once again smiled, leaning against the equipment. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, peering over at the Charmander nearby.

Will grabbed up his undershirt, a black, forming garment that was made of a comfortable mesh material. He unzipped a red and black duffel back which had a silhouette of a Dragonite on one side and withdrew a rage candy bar which he unwrapped and began to munch furiously. After swallowing a bite he looked up at Cal and inclined his head in greeting. "I'm Will. That," he said, gesturing to his Charmander. "Is Ragnarok."
The little fire lizard looked up at the sound of his name. "Char! Char char!." The Charmander hopped a bit an then continued eating slowly, savoring the break. The black and blue flame on Ragnarok's tail was blazing intensely, a sign of good health.
"What brings you here?" Will looked up at Cal as he asked, taking another bite of the energy inducing candy.

Cal put her attention on Will as he ate the energy bar. Her hunger gnawed at her stomach and growled at the sudden presence of food. She went to check her black backpack, only to realize she had eaten the food she had. Or Skye had eaten it while she wasn't looking. It seemed like it was something the michevious little Pichu would do. "Ragnarok is cute." She glanced back over at the oddly colored Charmander, much like her own oddly colored Pichu.
"Well to tell you the truth..." She lowered her eyes to the ground as she spoke. "I was a bit lost and came here." She smiled and let her brown eyes roam through the gym. "I don't have anything else to do today, might as well look around." She sighed a little thinking about how idiotic she sounded being lost in the HQ.

Will glanced back at his Charmander who was finishing his water and smiled slightly. "I don't know about cute, but a harder worker, there just isn't one." Will turned back toward Cal and smirked, amused by her predicament. "It is a large base, so don't feel too bad about getting lost. I spend most of my time down here so you're safe with me."
Will turned and jogged toward Ragnarok who looked up and roared excitedly. Looks like the little guy was ready for some more intense training, and so was Will. "You ready to learn the Dragon Rage, Rag?"
"Mander! Charmander char!" The little lizard jumped up and glared at a new dummy. Will looked behind his shoulder, waving toward Cal.
"Feel free to join in, if you want. Just stay out of my way unless you want to battle," Will turned back and commanded Charmander to attack the dummy.!

Cal couldn't help but giggle at Will's comment. "Well, I feel safer already!" She got up and followed him when he went to join his Charmander. She watched them curiously; a little traing for her Pichu wouldn't hurt, but then again... She glanced down at the two pokeballs on her belt. The two pokemon would be able to contain each other, or more like Blossom would be keeping an eye on the pesky Pichu.
With a flash of light she realeased two pokemon. Her Bulbasaur, Blossom looked around the gym curiously, "Bulba?" She looked up at Cal, slowly drawing closer to her. "You go train, ok?" She nudged her a bit and the Bulbasaur left to toy with the equipment close by without a complaint.
"And as for you," she eyed her Pichu. "We need to train. Together." Skye stared wide eyed at Cal, obviously not liking what her heard. "This is Skye," she pointed at the Pichu. "And that's Blossom." She guestered in the direction she had went. "You want to have a go with my little Pichu?" Skye slightly turned his back and crossed his arms. "Pichu pi." He 'humphed' at will and Ragnarok, sitting on his bottom, not really interested in training.

Will looked from Cal to Skye, the Pichu, to Blossom, the Bulbasaur, and back to Cal. Ragnarok had finished biting and scratching another dummy to nothing and was now standing behind his master. The little Pichu seemed to think itself quite highly, and perhaps should be taught a lesson.
"I'd accept the challenge, of course. But it looks like your Pichu isn't too interested," Will said, inclining his head at the little lightning mouse. It didn't seem to like it's trainer, nor anyone else, very much. Ragnarok looked at at curiously, then at the Bulbasaur. Will felt sure his little fire dragon could take the Bulbasaur no problem, but the Pichu would be fast. If it came to a battle, he would have to be careful.

Cal sighed at this pitiful sight. Her little Pichu still had no respect for her, and didn't seem to want to straighten out. She had been having a little difficulty with him, but she knew how to get him to cooperate. Bribery. But that seemed so low, Cal didn't want to have to continuously bribe him to get him to cooperate. She bent down to Skye level and took on a serious tone with him, no amusement to be seen on her face. "Now you be good boy and have a nice battle with Will and Ragnarok."
Skye tilted his head with a look of shock on his face. "P...Pi!?" He was astounded that Cal could talk in such a serious manner, so she must have been serious. He approached the Charmander slowly, still not wanting to battle, but complying to Cal, demand. "Now that's a good Pichu." She smiled, suddenly spurred with happiness. Blossom smirked in the background while she used a Vine Wipe on a target.
"Ok! I'm ready!" She smiled as she took her place behind Skye, placing her hands on her hips while she waited.

Will looked down at the little Pichu, smiling softly. The little pokemon would be quick, no doubt about it, but Will had studied up on every known species of pokemon and knew the tiny mouse's weakness. It would be limited to speed and physical attacks as overusing it's electric special attacks would not only tired the little mouse out, but even cause it pain.
"Keep quick on your toes, Rag. This one is going to be fast, but we have the edge." Will patted the Charmander on it's head softly and stepped back outside the ring.
"Char! Charmander.." Ragnarok was pumped, his tail flickering strongly in an dark blaze. His jade eyes watched the Pichu closely, waiting for the start of the match.
"One on one battle then, no time limit. I'm ready when you are," said Will, lowered into a crouch, focusing.

Cal took a comfortable stance, keeping her eyes locked on her opoant. "Skye, please try not to disappoint me." She smiled at him sweetly, but her voice his an undertone of annoyance. Her brown eyes pooled with her thoughts as she focused on her foe. This was going to be a little tough for her Skye if he didn't listen and pay attention.
"Chu!" Skye turned toward Will and Ragnarok, letting his cheeks spark a little in anticipation. He stood there, with vague interest, yet still not wanting to lose this battle that his trainer had dragged him into.
"Ok then, Skye! Start us off with a Sweet Kiss!" She winked at Will while Skye ran at the Charmander, moving toward him quickly before grabbing him and demanding a kiss. He put his face close to Ragnarok's intending to kiss and confuse him.

The little mouse was fast, a little faster than Will or Ragnarok expected. It's cute little form was kissing Will's Charmander just before he could dodge. The lizard stumbled back, confused, and started to shake it's head.
"Ragnarok! Snap out of it! Use smokescreen!" Will's order got through, but not as expected. Instead of launching a smokescreen toward Pichu, the Charmander filled the entire arena with a thick cloud. Will coughed and sputtered, holding his sleeve to his arm. He would have to wait until the smoke cleared before making another decisive move. Fortunately, the Pichu would be as blind as Will was, or he assumed it would.

Skye jumped back in anticipation of an attach, but was surprised to be surrounded by a thick layer of smoke. He could barely see his tiny paws in front of his face, let alone the Charmander. He coughed and choked on the smoke, staying low to the ground for a decent air supply. His ears twiched in every direction trying to pick up any sound from Will's side.
Cal coughed and put her sleeve over her mouth to block out the smoke. She surveyed the scene, no sight of anything, just a thick layer of Ragnarok's smokescreen. "Stay at attention Skye." She didn't know how much was actually getting through to the Pichu, but it was best to try. She thought for a second, trying to remain quick and alert. She weighed her options before commanding the her pokemon. "Skye! Use Thundershock!"
Skye's ears purked up at the sound of Cal's voice. Small sparks flew from his cheeks as he aimed his attack in the direction he thought the Charmander would be in.

Will couldn't see anything, he hadn't trained with a smokescreen up as often as he now wished he would. He heard Cal bark the thundershock command and reacted instinctively, trying to see what Ragnarok would see, think like his pokemon would be thinking. "Rag, hold still! It can't see you, use that to your advantage!" Will waited, hearing the electric attack bounce off the floor, and after no cry of pain was heard he assumed Ragnarok had not been hit.
The smoke began to clear just enough to see a faint silhouette of Will's partner in the right side of the arena, and Will couldn't help but smile. "Go Rag! Get down low and flank it!" Pichu may have been small and fast, but it was also burning and confused now from the smoke, and would not recover as fast as the fire pokemon. Ragnarok found his opponent and, crawling quickly or as quickly as his short arms would allow, he charged toward the little mouse. "Now! Use your ember attack!"
"Char!" The fire lizard flipped around, tossing a flurry of hot embers from it's tail toward Pichu, filling the immediate area with the flaming bits. Ragnarok was in close range, and Will had other tricks ready.
