Chapter 23
"Training Blitz"
The next morning, after Maxie woke up. He climbed out of bed, got dressed, ate breakfast, and began waiting for Rosella to awaken. Two hours passed before Rosella stirred and woke up. Once awake Rosella climbed out of bed, got dressed, and then went to find Maxie. It turned out that Maxie actually found her.
"Rosella! There you are, I was wondering when you would wake up. Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet." Rosella replied.
"Then let's get that taken care of." I said.
Rosella followed Maxie to the kitchen where he got her something to eat.
Once she'd eaten I said, "Rosella, I think it's time that we start training your pokemon."
Rosella nodded, and Maxie took her hand and led her to a battle arena located within their base.
Once there, I stopped, turned to Rosella and said, "Rosella, in order for me to help you, I'll need you to call out all of your pokemon so I can see exactly where we need to begin."
Rosella nodded, and released her pokemon. Maxie was now greeted by a Ninetails, a Bayleef, a Flaafy, an Azumarill, a Skarmory, and a Togetic.
"Let's see, I know a lot about training fire-types, but I'm not too sure about how to train the others. I'm sure we'll come up with something." I said.
He now handed Rosella a large rubber ball.
"Toss this to them and have them pass it around among themselves in a circle."
I did as Maxie had directed me.
This went on for about an hour before Maxie stopped it and said, "Rosella, that's very good. Now I want you to have them gather in a circle and pass the ball to each other across the circle to every pokemon."
Rosella gave her pokemon their instructions, and it started again. This went on for about 2 hours before Maxie stopped us, and told us to take a break.
"Rosella, that was very good…"
Just then a Magma Executive named Sauki burst into the room.
"Boss!" She cried.
"Yes, what is it Sauki, can't you see that I'm busy?"
"I know you are sir, but this couldn't wait. Team Aqua has taken over the Safari Zone with the intent to capture all of the pokemon there for their own gain."
"That's no good." Maxie said.
"It sure isn't." Sauki replied.
"Gather all the grunts together, we're going to stop them."
"Yes, sir!" Sauki answered.
She then rushed out of the room.
Maxie now turned to Rosella and said, "My dear, I'm afraid that I'll have to leave you. Team Aqua is causing trouble, and we must go and stop them. While I'm gone I would like you to continue training. We shouldn't be long."
Rosella nodded. Now Maxie ran out of the room.
