The Daycare Center's population seemed to increase by the minute, with a new wave of Pokémon joining the ranks, though Rags didn't seemed impress. I mean, why would he be? Surrounded by all these B-list pokemon, he didn't even bat an eye at them. However, as much fun as it was to mentally berate and judge those less than him, he did have a true purpose. Which meant it was time to say 'shove off!' to Brain and get out the welcome mat for Brawn.
He'd start off simple. The pompous Scraggy meandered over to the nearest punching bag with his hands on his hips and eyes narrowed distastefully. Knocking the stuffing out of an inanimate object never helped stave the boredom; which meant he had to reform the simple training equipment into a wild, snarling... pokemon... of sorts.
The details weren't important!
What was important was that this pokemon had decided to talk smack about Rags' mother--who ever that was-- which only meant he had to retaliate. A chill began to creep up his left arm, temperature dropping low enough for ice to begin to form at a rapid pace on and around a slow-forming fist. He wound his arm up, an over exaggerated wind mill accompanying it, until he had gained an impressive amount of speed and power behind it. Rags let loos a killer left swipe, ice shattering and showering the grass below in fast-melting crystals. BOOM! the 'pokemon' was sent careening back, broken teeth falling from its mouth like broken mouth.
It seemed like this pokemon wouldn't be talking about anyone's mother for a while-- or talking at all-- and all thanks to Rags! The yellow pokemon smirked and folded his arms, leaning backwards as the punching bag swung forward, precariously close to his own face, and then backwards. The back and forth motion continued on before two hands reached out and slowed it down, settling it back into place.
Alright! Now they were cooking with gas! Or.. knocking around a punching bag with Ice Punch.

Cyndaquil nodded to the Miltank's comment upon observing the rangers trying to catch the wild beast. She hoped they succeeded... If he was allowed to roam around pokemon would get hurt. That much was for sure. If she had to, she would go in herself, again, but as it was, she wasn't going to try and risk that sacrifice again. Until it was proven wrong, she was going to assume she'd live to see another day, and try to get stronger, so that if she ever came across the absol, or anything like him, again, she'd be able to smash him into the ground just like he'd nearly done to her.
"Hmph." The fire type grunted as she lifted the weight, noticing Bell's position. She wasn't sure whether to appreciate or be insulted by the precautionary placement, but... at least it meant that the pokemon was still looking out for her. She really didn't want to need protection, but with Lelanna nowhere in sight, and that absol running around, it was good to have an extra pair of eyes looking out for safety. "He'd be pretty stupid to. Your friend is still around, and now there are the humans, and we're practically ready for him this time, and I'm sure other pokemon would be taking notice by now... He's more likely to try and just tear the place up or something, I think," she admitted, huffing a bit as she paused in her weight lifting.
She looked up as Belle mentioned her take on the Ranger's idea of keeping him here, letting out a small, scoffing laugh in agreement. "They should have their whatever-licenses revoked. This is a place for injured, even baby pokemon, and those that are waiting for their trainers. Not exactly full of powerful pokemon that can protect themselves or know better than to approach a wild pokemon like that," she said, taking a depe breath, and then starting to lift the weights again. She would try and do this a little longer... then maybe try something else.
"N-new trainer?" she panted, a bit more winded the second time through, looking up at Belle, "S-so you haven't m-met them yet?" She was definitely struggling a bit more, but she bared through it, her little face carrying a blush from the effort. "Y-yeah I haven't been here l-long... My trainer d-dropped me and a team-mate off to tra-ain," she explained, then let go fo the weight, wiggling back out from under it and flopping on the ground to catch her breath. "I'm not really sure where she went off to, though..." she admitted, her breath kicking up little dust piles. "Is that what you and your teammate have been doing while you've been here? Training?"

Ezio needed to lose this crew of idiots, shake them off his tail so he could rest from his fight with the Haxorus and see about getting this damned muzzle off so he could scavenge for some berries or water to replenish his energy. He took a sudden sharp turn towards a thick forest, racing through the trees and weaving in odd angles until he could hear nothing but the sound of his own feet. Only then did he pause briefly, standing absolutely still to make sure he wasn't being followed, Detect at the ready, but the coast seemed clear for now. With that settled, the Absol busied himself trying to hook his claws around his muzzle and rip it off of his mouth, but after wrestling with it for a while, he grew frustrated, opening his jaw as much as the contraption would allow, and then he kept stretching it wider and wider, forcing it open before he hooked his claws on it once more, and finally tore it off.
Relief washed over him. Now he could finally find something to eat. He sniffed the air gently and made his way over to an oran berry bush, snacking on a few of the blue colored treats. He felt better with every bite, hungrily devouring all the food this bush had to offer him. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing to remain here and keep eating until the Rangers found him or gave up and left. This was a nice, cool, shady little spot, and Ezio had no qualms laying down and stretching out, relaxing under the canopy. It was rare that he ever really had an opportunity to relax, being here reminded him somewhat of days with his old trainer. She was an odd one, different from other Void members who had tried to tame him. While she exhibited strength and brutality, there were still times during missions where she would stop and climb a tree or take a break, drawing in her sketchbook and humming some sort of funny little tune. He always gave her funny looks when she did things like that, but she would scold him, explaining that resting was important as training. It was times like these when he finally realized she was probably right.... The Absol frowned slightly, giving a light huff and resting his head on his paws, listening to the sounds of the forest and keeping an eye out for those stupid rangers.

Noticing that a Haxorus had recently began heading in the same direction that they were- or perhaps it was the other way around, Shine couldn't tell- the Skitty turned his head as they matched speeds with their potential ally. "Nyeow, what's your name? Are you after that stinky stink as well?" Shine grinned, hoping that they'd have a little help whenever they met with the source of trouble. "Where is it coming from, anyway, meow?" It was more than clear that the little Skitty was unprepared. In fact, the only one that looked competent was the Psyduck, Bao. He'd been keeping quiet, but Bao was more than prepared to defend his less-experienced comrades if the need arose. "We should work together, and combine our meow-ers!"
"He means powers," Bao stated quickly as he waddled behind Shine. YJ was beside him, hustling as best he could and making jingling-like noises whenever he moved from one foot to the other. "And we'll definitely need more power. Powers. Plural powers. My head hurts." Rubbing his head and squinting, Bao picked up the pace a little. "Come, Shine and Junior version of York and possibly-friendly Haxorus. It seems close."
"Myeaaah! I'm getting fired up!" They were deep in the forest now, guided only by the scent that Shine had picked up. Though it was faint, the creature responsible for such a stench was definitely in these parts of the deep woods. "Ssh! Keep quiet, meow! Stop talking so much, York Junior!" YJ simply burped in response as Shine stopped near a clearing, crawling with his belly low to the ground to avoid being spotted by anything that may have been there. Hmm... Something wasn't right.

Cyndaquil panted for a bit before she rolled over, curling in on herself and then rolling forward. She uncurled and pushed herself up onto her feet, shaking to get some of the dust off, her flames bursting out, and then disappearing. She waited for Belle to answer, but continued training, jumping a bit until she could latch onto a low, horizontal bar with her maw. She wiggled a bit, but then began curling, like she had, fighting against gravity to bring her legs up. Foo... she really was out of shape...

So heavy! She was small! She was not supposed to be this heavy. And yet, here she was, struggling like crazy to work her little tummy muscles. She definitely hadn't done enough of this. Sure, it was easy to work her legs, running around, pushing things, but the most excercise she got like this was when she would curl up into a ball to roll around or dodge. Well! She was going to have to fix that!

She was going to have to fix that slowly. She dropped to the ground, flopping on her back and resting her little paws on her stomach. Oh man, even her mouth hurt! She hadn't realized how tightly she'd been biting down. And her little belly... Ohhhh, the soreness. She was going to have a hard time walking for a week! But! The best way to deal with fatigue... was to clearly work more. She just needed a.... a little breather, while she let Belle talk.

Rags
Punch! Punch! Punch!... Punch! Rags' mind gave the same rapid-fire command over and over again, his ice-encrusted fist pounding into the punching bag repeatedly. Never in the same place, but always at the same speed. The energized Scraggy continued his assault until he finally allowed his arm to fall back to his side. "You ain't got.." he puffed out, his head leaning forward to rest briefly against his enemy-turned-furniture. "Nothin' on me."

The mienshao perked up as a miltank and cyndaquil entered the area. At first, her eyes narrowed a bit until she saw that they had not taken notice of her. That was good. Then, her ear twitched as she heard a commotion in the distance, turning her head to spot a group of humans chasing after an absol. She wasn't sure why the absol was being chased, but she certainly didn't want to end up being chased herself. Sofie swiftly moved away, her footsteps barely making a sound as she moved deeper into the training area.

Sunny was having a grand ol' time running about the daycare. It was a wonderful place! So many things to climb on and plenty of pokemon to interact with if she wished.

After investigating the berries, she finally pulled one off of a branch, plopping down to nibble on the delicious little snack.

Hakuren swaggered onto the scene, trying to look cool without really trying the way Raphael had taught him. Shion padded behind wondering why his friend was walking so funny. Hakuren looked around and spotted the tail end of a lovely ribbon-tailed pokemon before it disappeared from view. "Alright, seems like Raph was right. Let's go," he announced, marching forward.
Hakuren kept his eyes peeled for interesting pokemon, tail fluffed and pointing straight up. Shion, meanwhile, wandered up to a little orange Dedenne by a berry bush. He looked from her nibbling a berry to the bush. Without a word he plucked one off and stared down at it for a few moments before taking a bite.

Sofie Leon's future Mienshao
Sofie found an empty part of the training area to train a bit, lashing out at stone targets with her long arm fur. The rocks were holding up better to her attacks than the wooden target earlier. The weasel felt pleased with this, and focused on this for the time being.

Sunny perked up as some pokemon approached her. "Howya!" Sunny greeted the pokemon that had plucked a berry from the bush she was sitting in front of. The Dedenne chittered a bit as she eyed the Meowstic. "M' name's Sunny! Wot's yer's, laddie?" she squeaked in a friendly manner, having finished up her berry.

biggrin i don't mind at all! not sure who the ribbon-tailed pokemon is tho, lol.
Shion stared at Sunny, his ears wriggling a bit as he listened to her weird accent. He kept his paws glued to his berry, his berry glued to his mouth.
Luckily, Hakuren walked over before the silence got weird. "Hey Shion, who's this?" he asked, cocking his head at the little dedenne. He'd never seen a pokemon wearing a ribbon like that before. Shion met Hakuren's eyes and they seemed to have a silent talk before Hakuren turned back to her. "Sunny, huh? Well I'm Hakuren," he sat, patting his creamy chest fur with a red paw, "And this here's Shion." Shion nodded once, slowly.
Hakuren peered at the bush, since Shion seemed to be eating one of the berries from it. "Are these any good?" he asked. He was considering eating one, but he also wanted to make sure Shion wasn't making some kind of mistake putting it in his mouth.

Ren Leon's Future Vulpix

After all, she didn't feel that she'd want to stay in this daycare place for too long.

The dedenne stared at the cat, tilting her head. What an odd and quiet lad. Luckily, a pal of theirs came in and broke the silence. "Bit o' a quiet laddy, eh?" Sunny commented, looking to the pokemon introduced as Shion. What a fancy lil' fox the speaking one was. "Hakuren and Shion. Neva hurd o' such names. 'ny ways, nice ta meetchya!" the dedenne repeated their names, then smiled. Her tail twitched about behind her as she observed her new company. "Aye, they be. Such tasty lil' morsels!" she squeaked as Hakuren questioned how the berries are.

oooooh. I didn't see it like that, sorry. XD Sofie is kinda... well, idk how she'd interact with others quite yet, so i've just been leaving her off on her own.
