The Houndoom continued to leap from one rock to the other, although he was getting rather worn out. Still, he needed to stop dallying and get to work. His trainer expected him to be in peak condition, and right now he was far from that stage of development. The least he could do was work until he couldn't work any longer, to find the limits of each and every part of himself.

Felix Devito's Ooze
Eventually, the Muk found himself another ball, this one not being thrown at his head. He decided to work on his aim by tossing it at a hoop a fair distance away. He missed several times, but occasionally he managed to get the ball through the hoop from where he tried to keep positioned. Not exactly fun for him, especially all by himself, but it was better than just doing nothing. He might like lazing around, but so far that was all he had done and, quite frankly, he was getting bored.

Without even realizing it Giovanni had deposited be Skarmory in the Daycare feature on his Pokedex. The Skarmory as soon as arriving knew something was different. She didnt complain and she didnt cry. Insgead she looked around. It seemed there were other Pokemon here so she knew this place wasnt all bad.
Skarmory played around on the ground for a minute, at least this is what it looked like. In reality she was just taking a dust bath on the ground and thinking about what all she could do here. There seemed to be so much open area as well as open sky. As she finished up with her dirt bath she decided to take to the skies and see everything that was around her
After soaring around for abit she realized that in fact there were a bunch of different terrains all in one. What she thought was really funny was the fact that there was an Ice terrain right next to a Volcano one and none of the snow seemed to be melted. She decided to fly over to the Ice terrain to see what was going on, she flew close to the ground because right now there was a snow storm happening. Thats when she found it. There was a bunch of snow spikes on the ground and she thought this was the perfect training place
Sbe weaved in and out of Spikes and as she did she would attack them. An occasional Brave Bird attack followed by four or five Swift attacks. All the while staying in flight. It was challenging she had to admit, but this was far better than showing up to a battle unprepared. If there was one thing she hated more than losing it was not having a fighting chance. For that, she needed to keep attacking untill she was able to knock the spikes down. There were seven in total and she was alternating attacks so she wasnt focusing on one too long.
CRACK! The third Ice spike cracked down the middle as she shot a Swift attack at it. Perfect, right where I wanted it she thought. She shot down a perfect Brave Bird shot and she broke straight through it breaking it into thousands of pieces. One down six to go. The same strategy was used as she continued on
The attacks continued and she was close to cracking the fifth one. Skarmory launched herself at at it to determine her strength. She put all of her power into it so she could make sure that nothing was left out. Hitting it head first she broke it down but continued on into the next one cracking the sixth Ice spike as well. Whoa, she thought, that was alot more Power than I thought. She nodded in approval as she flew to the ground and moved chuncks of ice to form a little hut. She was tired and this was hard work. Next time she would keep going untill three where done
Skarmory was happy she had broken two with one blow. That ment there was three left and with every attack they were getting easier and easier to blow throw. They were after all ice and a few chips here and there the remaining three looked kind of like a Bidoof had been knawing on a tree.
She decided instead of launching a Brave Bird attack on the one that had cracked to instead launch a Swift attack. It did the job, she knew now that the remaining two were mlre than close to being destroyed
She decided with the remaining two to try a combo attack. She launched herself forward at the two using a Brave Bird attack. The first one broke no pro blem at that weak center point, so she decided to try and follow it up with a Swift attack on the last one. Unfortunately it didnt break and she barely moved out of the way in time to dodge it. Flaping her wings and hovering in the air for a minute she realized that she had actually missed her mark. Well at least now I know Im not ready to try that she thought. She sent one last Swift attack obliterating the last Ice spike before she flew off trying to find a new obstacle in these many biomes.
Once again after a few minutes of flying high she was able to see all of the different areas. There was a Mountian biome that caught her attention soley for the reason there was a lot of Arches there. She flew down to checl them out and see how big they were. It seemed they were just big enough for her to fly through so she decided this was the next best place for her to train in bar none.
These obstacles were not so much speed based as finesse based. She needed to make sure that she flew at just the right angle or she could clip her wing or worse. However right now she was flying at a slow enough speed that she should be able to make it in and out of all of them no problem. The next time she went through she wohld go faster. Then faster again till she could fly as fast as she could and make it through all of them in no tim and with no problem at all
At last she had reached the last one. She soared to the sky to count just how many there were. Thirteen in total, good she thought. This would make for an excellent training area. It took her about forty five seconds to make it in and out of all of them but this time around she was shooting for forty or less. Back to the start of the course she told herself and began trying it again. At least it wasnt ice she thought.
Now that she knew the course abit better she was easily able to make it out in a way better time than she had ment too. This time it only took her roughly tbirty seconds. It was good to shave ten whole seconds off but that was almost more than she had wanted to for it being her second time through. Now she would pace herself and try to do it again. After a short break and maybe a snack or twwo of course
This was a nice training area she had to admit. There was a snack machine that dispensed just about anything she could imagine. Her favourite snack wasnt in there but they did have her second favourite which was a cream pokepuff that had what she always thought was a Sitris berry jam in the center. She knew she needed to get back to her training routine but she figured one more puff wouldnt hurt. After all, who would stop her anyway? The Steel bird schreeched and cawed because as of now she felt like she was the top Pokemon in the area. Almost as if to say "Im queen of the world". Of course she was referring to a chess queen whom she figured had nore power than a real life queen which seemed to be just a political figure now a days
Before she knew it she had eatin almost four whole Pokepuffs and the sun was starting to set. Oh no she thought. She immediately took off to the skies and shot towards the arches. She was trying to just blow through it as fast as she could and it showed. She clipped her wings a couple times amd knew she needed to try it again but slower. She wasnt quite ready to try and traverse this at the speed she was yet. It wasnt frustrating but more training ment more time and time was of the essence
