Nils, Ren and Firenze had been walking for a few hours until they made it to a Pokemon Center. At the Pokemon Center, the three of them were sitting on a couch waiting for their Pokemon to be healed until they were greeted by a familiar face.

"Hi guys," said Libby who noticed the trio and decided to talk to them.

"Libby," asked Ren, "What are you doing here?"

"Well," said Libby, "After getting my badge from the Saffron Gym, I decided to go to the Elite Dojo to train my Meditite."

"What's the Elite Dojo," asked Nils.

"You mean you've never heard of it," asked Libby, "It's a great place where trainers can train their Fighting Type Pokemon by getting lessons from Wardah of the Elite Four."

"What's the Elite Four," asked Ren who didn't know about them.

"Well," answered Firenze, "The Elite Four are four trainers of great power, skill and strategy." ""Like the Gym Leaders, they each use only a single type but are far more powerful than any of them." "The Elite Four of Kanto is currently made of Tony, who uses Steel Types, Antony, who uses Bug Types, Feather, who uses Flying Types, and Wardah, who uses Fighting Types."

"Also," continued Libby, "If a trainer defeats all four members of the Elite Four, they get the honour of battling the Champion, Boyd."

"I remember Boyd," said Ren, "The three of us watched him battle a Ketchum co employee."

"Anyway," said Nils, "If the Elite Dojo is a good way to train Fighting Types, then perhaps I'll go there to train my Machop."

"And I can train Makuhita," said Ren.

"Can I join the conversation," said Gunter who was also there and just happened to be eavesdropping, "I just happened to hear you talking about the dojo and thought this would be a good opportunity to train my Riolu."

"Why don't we all go together," suggested Libby and everyone agreed to the idea.

"What about me," asked Firenze, "I don't have any Fighting Types."

"You can watch," said Libby, "There'sa lot of people that go there just to watch." "There is one thing though, it's late so let's all go tomorrow."

After the conversation, the five trainers had dinner, picked up their Pokemon, and went to bed. The next morning, the group were walking to the dojo and along the way, Ren asked something.

"What kind of trainer is Wardah," asked Ren.

"Well," said Firenze, "She's the daughter of a famous Fighting Type Master who was once a Gym Leader in the Johto Region." "Everything Wardah knows about battling was taught to her by her father." "At one point, Wardah managed to surpass her father and after that, she went to Kanto to become even stronger." "Eventually, she got so strong, she became a member of the Elite Four."

"Woah," said Ren who was amazed by the story.

Eventually the group arrived at the Elite Dojo and went inside to find several trainers that were either standing around the room or sitting at either side. Firenze went to sit where the trainers that weren't training sat while Nils, Ren, Libby and Gunter stood in the middle of the room with the trainers that were training.

A few minutes later, a woman with long brown hair that was tied into a ponytail and was wearing karate clothes that included a black belt and a red headband came out from a room in the back.

"Welcome," said the woman "I'm Wardah of the Elite Four and daughter of Master Chuck." "I am going to have all of you train your Fighting Types with my methods of training which should make them much stronger." "First of all, I would like you all to send out your Fighting Types," and several Fighting Types, including Nils' Machop, Ren's Makuhita, Libby's Meditite, and Gunter's Riolu, appeared all over the room.

"Now then," said Wardah, "I will give you all three exercises that will strengthen your Pokemon and then one of you, who will be decided by the third exercise, will have a battle with me which should be a good experience."

Wardah then lead everyone everyone to the room she came out of and several weight machines were shown.

"For the first exercise," said Wardah. "Both you and your Pokemon should take turns on these weight machines." "Ii is necessary for both of you to do it so you can understand what your Pokemon are going through which will increase your bond."

The students then rotated around the machines while they shared each one with their Pokemon. After everyone had used all of the machines, the machines were automatically moved to underground and were covered up by floor.

"Now for the second exercise," said Wardah, "I want all of your Pokemon to attack you." "This is a method my father had for training his Pokemon and I know from experience that it works well."

The Trainers then had each of their Pokemon attack them. Some of the trainers got hurt a little but the Pokemon kept going as instructed by their trainers. After five minutes, Wardah stopped the Pokemon from attacking their trainers and told everyone it was time for the third exercise.

"For the third exercise," said Wardah, "Your Pokemon will have to focus on their weight." "When that wall opens, a giant fan will appear and will try to blow all of your Pokemon away." "Your Pokemon however will try to resist getting blown off but they will get blown sooner or later." "The trainer whose Pokemon is the last one to get blown away will have a battle with me as a bonus exercise."

The wall then opened and a giant fan appeared and started blowing. More than half of the Pokemon were blown away but some managed to resist. After a minute, Gunter's Riolu was sent flying and Libby's Meditite soon followed. After a few more Pokemon were blown down, only Nils' Machop and Ren's Makuhita remained. A minute later Makuhita was blown away and one second later Machop was too.

"Since Nils' Machop was the last one to get blown away," said Wardah as the wall closed, "I will now have a battle with him."

Everyone moved to the side and the entire floor opened up revealing a battlefield where Wardah and Nils each got on either side.

"This will be a one on one battle between your Machop and my Primeape," said Wardah who then sent out a Primeape. And the battle began.

"Use Low Kick," said Nils and Machop landed the selected attack on Primeape who was unaffected. "Ok then, use Karate Chop," and Machop then attacked Primeape with the move of choice but was still unaffected.

Machop then became frustrated because his attacks couldn't do anything to Primeape. Just then however, Machop evolved into Machoke.

"Alright," said Nils, "Now let's see what your Karate Chop can do now," and Machoke used Karate Chop once again which sent Primeape flying for a short distance.

"Impressive," said Wardah, "But it's going to take more than evolving to defeat Primeape, now use Close Combat." and Primeape used the selected attack which knocked out Machoke.

"It's ok Machoke," said Nils who walked over to Machoke, " "She's a member of the Elite Four it's never easy to defeat them." "Besides, at least you evolved."

"Machoke," said Machoke who was cheered up and was then returned to his Pokeball.

"You did well at raising Machoke," said Wardah, "I'm sure you'll be able to have it incredibly powerful the next time we meet." "And that concludes our training," Wardah sid to everyone, "I hope you all enjoyed your time here," and with that the trainers all left.

"Well I've got to go," said Libby, "I need to pretty much give all of my Pokemon as much training as I can give them if I want to defeat trainers as strong as Wardah.

"And I have to challenge the Fuchsia Gym," said Gunter, "I should also try to get a new Pokemon along the way."

After that, Libby and Gunter left in different directions leaving Nils, Ren and Firenze all by themselves.

"I guess we should go back to going to Vermilion City huh guys," asked Nils and the three of them continued their journey.
