Nyx sat slumped on the couch in the game room, in front of the large TV. 'exceptional hand-eye coordination' she jotted down in her little notepad. Newton was on the floor, rapidly pressing buttons on the game controller. "Floon!" He puffed up and threw his string-arms into the air as the words 'You Died' flashed up on the screen.
Nyx looked at her watch. It was almost 10 pm, not that late. "Alright, Newton. That's it for the games, tonight. I've got something I've been meaning to do with you." The little Drifloon looked inquisitively at her as she took hold of one of his strings and strolled down the halls towards the training facilities.

Standing outside the training facility door, Max stared at it. Gripped in his hand were the tassel-like appendages of his Drifloon, Kunal. He swallowed a bit, reaching towards the door knob. Everything went black quite suddenly as his hat slid forward, Jayanti laying on it. "Hey!"
The Pikachu looked down, blinking at the Grunt. "Chu?"
"I can't see now, Jayanti!" He reached up, grabbing her and removing her from his head. "I kind of need to do that so I don't, you know, run into stuff!" Then again, she might like that...
The Pikachu let out a light growl, not appreciating being moved, Her cheeks crackled, until the sound of footsteps reached her ears. "Chu?" Brown eyes turned down the hall, the Pikachu straining to see.
Max turned around, blinking in surprise as well. Who else was coming here?

Akemi was down in the training area with her team, wanting to keep her pokémon in shape even though she was still recovering from fractured ribs. Luckily she could still use her left hand and arm just fine, it was just the right side she had to watch out for.
It had been rather quiet all afternoon, which was rather rare. Given her current state though, Akemi was relieved about this.
"Okay, everyone.. let's take a break, then one more round before bed, k?" she said as she walked to the vending machine, buying a few lemonades to offer to her pokémon along with some Berries she'd just harvested earlier that day.

 Out of shape. Oh boy were her pokemon (and her) out of shape. it had been to long since they were able to train like this, and it was showing. Faleen let out a sigh, and put her hands on her hips. Leaning forward a bit to peer down at her Umbreon. "That was sloppy" she told him, earning a disgruntled snort from the dark type. His red eyes turned up to her hazel. Clearly he wasn't anymore happy about it then she was, even less so Faleen would say. The Grunt was in standard issue uniform, with dark leggings under her skirt. shoulder length dirty blond hair messed up slightly, and tucked behind her ears. "Do it again" she said, looking over at the Shuppet, looking ready on the other side of her training aria As her Umbreon flashed out of view, Faleen glanced over, hearing noises at the door of the room, though her gaze lingered on the other grunt that was in the room with her, Akemi, one that had gotten hurt recently.

Every young Jedi in-training knows one should not only be mentally strong, but also physically. Sorano, after a couple of days of flexing in front of the mirror in his room, decided he was not Jedi material yet. He had much to do, especially when it came to training his weapons for use. His light saber for use today was one that seemed to malfunction often, shorting out during random moments and buzzing with "Shup, shup, shuppet!" stutters every so little while. Sorano would have to get it repaired soon, but that would come after some individual training.
Marching down the hall with his saber partner in hand, the young Padawan's destination for today was the training grounds. There, he could spar with his shadow as it was somewhat late to him so there would probably be no one there. As he approached the entrance, his saber sputtered out a "Shuppet!" causing him to glance directly at the door. There were others, just his luck. Fuming slightly with disappointment, the young Padawan would try his best to make due with the others apparently at the training grounds. May the Force be with him.

Damn that new uniform! Damn the skirt she was forced to wear, damn that stupid hat, and damn the long sleeves. Not to mention the boots pinched her feet.
If they thought she was gunna wear that thing on her own time, especially at night like this? Again, hell no! Thats why the new Rocket could be seen strolling towards the training rooms wear a pair of blue PJ bottoms and a sleeveless shirt with the words "Shocking Chance!" written on the front in faded writing; Freedom against the man, man! Jen smirked and shifted the bag strap digging into her arm to keep a mark from forming. Inside, wrapped in the softest towel she could swipe from the bathrooms, was a yellow and black pokemon egg. Pichu, the labs told her. Born from the DNA of a Drifloon and a Pikachu. It was an odd thought, but as Jen reached the training room door, but driven out of her head when she noticed the small group gathering in the room.
With one of her smirks lingering on her lips, the newbie glanced at another Rocket hanging out in the hallway looking down the other direction. "Hey", Jen reached out and gave the guy a light shove on the shoulder. "I didnt think it was Social Night tonight. Unless I missed the e-mail this morning."

Nurse was gonna catch her, Nurse was gonne catch~ Her~ And then, Tiello reasoned, there would be trouble. The Trainee minced her way to the training area, trying to hide the way she favored her back even though there was no one around. It itched, was all - the scratch she'd gotten from the Galactic invasion had not been long healing, but Arceus' arms, it itched. It would scar something awful, she'd been told. She didn't mind that, if only it wouldn't irritate her so much on the way!
But pain or no pain, Tiel had to get out of infirm for a while. The nurses hadn't liked that plan much; but what they didn't know, wouldn't hurt them. She would pop down for a bit of training with Rebar, and pop back upstairs before morning light. No one would know, and everyone would be completely happy.
Unless they caught her, or something silly like that.
Outside the training area, however, was a bit of a glitch in her plan. The Eevee at her side looked up at her trainer with identical questions in their eyes: Why the crowd?

"Aiden, get back here!" Callista shouted, chasing the all-but-baby Squirtle down the hall, mentally cursing herself for getting the most hyperactive toddler-like pokemon of the lot she was given to choose from. How was she supposed to train for intel gathering when Aiden couldn't be quiet?
Well, maybe he'd be useful for making her more unsuspecting to the juvenile trainers of the region. . .
Dodging around a few other rockets, mostly trainees, she made a dive for the Squirtle, who just beamed at her and threw himself to the floor, skidding on his shell like some demented Mario reject. "AIDEN! COME HERE!" She yelled again, only to see the turtle pokemon blow a raspberry at her as he skidded along.
"Squirtle! Squirtleeee!"

Sitting down on one of the benches in the back of the gym by the vending machines, Akemi groaned as sitting sent a small jolt of pain through her injured side. It'd be over in a few weeks, she kept telling herself. Some got hurt even worse, especially on that failed raid a while back. She was lucky.
Opening up the lemonade cans, she poured their contents into two bowls that her pokémon could share, sipping on the last one herself. One thing that the Grunt was particularly happy about was the fact that Hikari had behaved a lot better ever since the incident. She couldn't help but wonder if it was because she got hurt, and if the Charizard would go back to acting up once she healed..
Fushigi and Shinju shared one bowl along with Pandora the Misdreavus, while Rei drank from the same as Hikari did.
The Grunt had been watching another girl of her rank for a while, training with an Umbreon. Then, there was noise at the door, which gradually grew louder. People coming in this late?

The noise grew steadily, Faleen was starting to notice that she wasn't the only one who's attention it was drawing. Akemi, the other grunt in the room with her was looking at the door now. even her Umbreon and Shuppet paused there training to look at the door.
Faleen glanced over to Akemi with a puzzled expression. "Do you know whats going on?" was there another mission? maybe a party, was this training room going to be used for a class? ... a late night class? if so they would have to leave.

There were a bunch of people here tonight. Strange. Nyx picked out a slightly less populated spot in the gym to see what Newton could do. He looked at her. "Floon?" What was she expecting him to do?
"Newton, I need to see what attacks you have, so... Shadow ball!" She pointed for him to shoot at one of the target dummies set up in the center of their area.... Nothing. The little balloon looked confused. "No? Huh... well. Attack with whatever you can, then."

Max jumped, letting out a surprised yell. Kunal started floating away, while Jayanti flew into the door. The Pikachu let out a surprised sound as she clawed at the door, holding onto the nob. The look she threw at Max was scathing. "Chuuuu..."
Looking over, Max blinked. "Huh? Oh... Um.. Just... Just all of us gathering for training..." He plucked Jayanti off the door knob, then caught Kunal. It was then he noticed he egg in her hands. "Oh! That's where that egg went!" He reached over to gently tap it. "Jayanti, look, it's one of your eggs!" His face cracked into a grin, up until his hat fell off and hair got in his face. ".... I needa tie that back..."
Jayanti's ears perked before she reached a paw forward with a pleasant "Chu!" Even if it was done in a lab... She still felt a sense of pride for the egg. That and... She'd seen no other Pikachu, or any Raichu, in there.

Living nightmares were confusing. They were like reading ready the same sentence twice. They were like reading the same sentence twice. When Sorano saw the living nightmare he thought he had abandoned long ago, he ran. Padawans were suppose to be strong yes . . . but nothing in the 'How to be a Jedi Knight For Pathetic Idiots Who Really Believe The Crap From The Movies To Be Real' book stated that they couldn't be cowardly. All that was written in the 'Young Padawans Are Not Suppose To Be Cowardly' book and Sorano hadn't bought a copy of that yet.
"Tha SHE-DEVIL!" he hollered like some kind of lunatic. He pushed past people and flailed into the training area, falling face first into the room when he kicked the door open.

Jen let out a small snort of laughter at the unintended reaction; honestly, she hadnt ment to scare the dude.
"Sorry about that." Pushing her own bangs out of her eyes, she smiled as the trainer spoke of and tapped the egg held in her arms; the pokemon within almost seems to stir at the touch. "So you be the proud grandparent, aye?" She then glanced at the Pikachu who, in turn, also touched the colored shell. "And dis be the proud mum? Perhaps we can plan some family interaction once this little tyke pokes out into the world?"
Thats when the crowding of the hallway got worst. Lips thin with distaste, Jen motioned for Max to follow. "Why dont we go claim a spot on the bleachers? This place is getting crowded and I dunt wanna get my toes mashed on just because Im wearing flipflops." She paused though, when the yell of 'SHE-DEVIL' and the sound of doors banging open caught her attention. Was that...Jen smirked at the sight of a familiar mop of blue hair. Who woulda thunk....Being in a good mood though, Jen decided not to notice and to give Sorano a little piece of mind for the night. Turning back to Max, she ginned; "Sounds like someone has been watching cheesy horror movies or something."

Max tugged on Kunal. "And the proud... Um... I'm still not sure if it's male or female..." He tugged the Drifloon closer, looking at it. He blinked at the suggestion, then nodded. "Yeah, that'd be a good idea..." He opened the door, then motioned. "Ladies first!" If anything, he'd been raised with manners.
