Welcome to Gaia! ::

tommy had been somehow breathing the small traces of oxygen difused into the water. the last minute of the two hour period is what was killing him. the flame was getting small again, but ginji had said something about hindering the training, so blowing up wouldnt do. he was also running out of breath, and lastly it was freezing cold. 10 seconds... 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... right on 0, tommy was pushed into the waters of the tohjo falls, his flame going out. but he had somehow managed, and did it. he looked underwater to see a bunch of slowpoke at the bottom. they could wait. and tommy immediatley made a fire outside of the falls. after warming up, he pedaled back, already exausted. when he made it back, he used sheer willpower alone to stay standing, and went over to ginji. "what... is.. next...... or.. is...... that.. all?" tommy asked, out of breath, ready to just slip into an unconcious state to rest. he looked up to see ginji gone. tommy called it quits, and went back to HQ. he laid down on the floor, and immediately fainted on the floor, though there was people around. a quick rest would do him good. after 10 min, he felt refreshed. but he was aching. "gah, thats what happens when you sit under a freezing, crashing powerful waterfall for two hours straight while not breathing almost while also holding up a flame through sheer willpower." tommy finished, out of breath from the long sentense he had just muttered loud.

Kathryn sighed slightly when her question went unanswered, but decided the answer didn't matter much anyway. "So what's been happening lately?" she asked, putting the eraser down and taking the spinarak on her shoulder into her arms.

"Well... Help the Team out I guess. The enemy of your enemy is your friend, or so they say. Even though their enemy was my friend anyway... Uh.. Never mind. I think I'll stay here and hone my battle skills."

Blade is rubbing his jaw, waiting for the swelling to quell. He hit Dark in the face a few times too, why can Dark talk?

Arekku decided what since it took so much energy to fly, he wasn't going to attempt ro fly home, so he just called out Aro, hopped onto the pokemon's back and the two flew off.

Dark watches Sammy challenge another person to a fight.
"You'll kill 'em" He says, almost seriously. "And why would you want to watch me grow?"

Sammy lifted her hat up, putting it on her stomach and bowing to Mr. Dark. "Because, ma lord, you're gonna be great one day. I wanna be there for it!" she said, standing back up and tossing her hat to the side. She quickly threw her hair into a ponytail, getting into a fighting position. "Let's go, Jack!" she grinned.

"Yeah! Let's practice!" she grinned like a little child. "I promise not to go too hard on ya," she chuckled a bit.

Even with the knife Sammy stood a chance, Dark thinks. If not then he's here to stop the blade. He watches intently.

Blade doesn't seem to care at all since he wandered into the kitchen to get some ice.
