"Sounds good, yea. We can make more plans as we need to, see if anything interesting's happening or not. Could you turn out the light while you're down there?"

"Hum? Yea sure."
In the past, he had not been spared the task of turning out the light, but from the bottom bunk it was much easier. When he flicked out the light he raced back to he bed, not out of fear, but more a game. He was clinging to the image of the room in his mind before the lights went out. As he threw on the covers he said, "good night, don't let the bed bugs bite!"

"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Spike's not the biting type." Jamie turns over in bed with that, and closes her eyes, Spike nestled on top of the covers peacefully.

And, indeed, the safety of the four walls, and a locked door the pokecenter provided, it would be a nice night indeed. The next morning would start early, roughly six AM, the smell of breakfast permeating the entire building, though only for an hour before it was gone, should they sleep through the delicious aroma. Outside in the main room there was a large fryer that the nurse was working over, that had been wheeled out mere hours before. Two giants pans, each roughly the size of human torso lay on top, one bristling with well-scrambled eggs, the other sizzling viciously with hundreds of pieces of bacon. By the time they'd get out, if they did at all, there would already be a few trainers waiting, the one who'd missed dinner last night at the head of the line, her baseball bat much cleaner then it was previously, and securely strapped to her back.

The fragrant scents of cooked meats wafted under the door and danced about Orin's face.
DkXIVdc_1d20 DC 6 to wake up
Orin stirred and his eyes fluttered open, lacking focus. "something smells good," he muttered to himself.
Shirtless, he peered out the door, a potent burst of flavors smacking him in the face as he did so. He recalled last nights ice cream sundaes, and though how fast the food might go. it was early, but no reason to get a good start. he rushed to the bathroom almost tripping over his pants as moved. He was washed and dressed in under five minutes and ready to eat.1d20

By the time Orin makes his way down to the breakfast area, Jamie is already sitting down there in her pajamas, an empty plate underneath a half-finished second plate and a Kakuna sitting on the table. Seeing him walk in, she turns and waves to him, mouth still full of food.

Loading up on food, and grabbing a cold drink, Orin sits across from Jamie. "Looks like you're doing some good work there."

Jamie shrugs, before finishing her mouthful of food. "I was going to save you this plate, but I finished my first one and didn't want to get up for another. Good sleep?"

Shortly after Orin got his serving, the breakfast would be all out, what must have been quite a few pounds of bacon and eggs gone from the cooker. The nurse getting busy emptying out the cookers into pet bowls, letting out a quiet whistle. A few minutes later, a very portly Eevee waddling out. It would have been fitting to play a slow tuba with it's walk, and, after pausing to catch it's breath half way, the overweight eevee would work on cleaning the bacon and egg grease from the bowl. It seriously looked like it was about to evolve into Obeseon.

"I certinly needed it, and now there's a full day ahead of us. So, first stop the gym?"
Orin slipped his last piece of bacon into his pocket, picked up his plate, and scraped the bits into Eevee's bowl. It wasn't much, but it would be better served there than the trash. He gave a few rubs while the eevee ate. To Nuse Joy, "you really know how to care for all kinds. Breakfast was great, thank you. Could I have my pokemon please?"

She'd nod, doing the common curtsy joys did, and headding off to the back, comeing back out with the tray of pokeballs the party had left behind.

Orin clipped his pokeballs to his belt and brought the others over to Jamie. "I forgot we were going to train first thing, so I'm going to head outside for some air, when you're ready, I'll meet your out there."
Once outside, Orin released Bandit first. "Sorry for gettinge you in to that battle last night, you did great, but that Growlithe was juse too strong," he removed the concealed bacon strip, offering it over, "peace?"
Bandit was being giving the right to be grouchy, so he took it, but then he was being offered bacon, so he took that too. He was a bit to busy at the moment enjoying the salty treat to be mad. Once the snack was gone, he released the rest of his team and gave each of them, (excluding Bandit) a jar of baby food. As he did so, he welcomed Blitzle to the team, ensuring there was no anamosity twards Rook after the fight. Unlike the others, Bindi ate the food jar and all, letting out a petite burp.

"Gym after training sounds great, yea! I hope you're prepared for it, I sure know I am." Jamie quickly shovels the last of the eggs into her mouth before putting her plate away and taking Speedy's ball from Orin, heading out to start training.
Once outside, Jamie releases her pokemon from their balls, before starting her usual routine of jogging alongside their running and slithering, while Spike starts practicing using her strings to move around faster than hopping and rolling. The Tympole seems to be getting into Spike's training as well, hopping alongside her while she's moving between areas with things to attach to.
(Agility training to all, xp training to Speedy, Spike, and Shapiro)

Orin's Brutal training is not about being cruel to opponents or even harsh to those he trains; his tactic is about precision strikes, finding the weak spots and exploiting them to do the most damage.
"We'll be ready, but I don't know what the gym has in store for us," last night proved, Orin was ready to fight, even if it was a fight he wasn't going to win, "best way to find out though is to test the waters."
(Brutal training for the whole team, exp training for Rook, Bindi and Fulgurite)

"I think that's going to be pretty literal, judging by how they were providing swimsuit rentals." Jamie comes to a stop near Orin, her pokemon already lying down on the grass nearby to catch their breath. "We are doing this double, right? You'll probably be the major muscle, but I won't be far behind."

"You seem to know a lot more about the gym than I do, if doubles are an option it sounds like a fun way to go. Do you have any push moves? You know poison, and I hear toxic spikes love unwitting victims." Orin smiles as he recalls his time.
If Jamie has no objections, the pair will make their way to the gym.

The gym would just be opening, them getting there just as the doors would unlock on the automatic timer. The swimsuits where still avalable for free rental, and, as usual, optional. Stepping out onto the other side from the gender separated changerooms, they'd find themselves a short distance apart, the two paths through the gym seperated by gender, though it would be a short meter hop from re-joining. The layout of the path was like as if someone had filled up a hedgemaze with water, a platform here and there for a bit of a wider battle arena. A quick scan of the pathways would lead to the conclusion that they'd be fighting three, maybe four trainers regardless of which side they took, (right or left! it makes a diffrence!) before the gym leader herself, who was at the far side, in sight, but so far away at the other end of the building, tending to her bonsai garden in a kimono.

"Yea, Shapiro has some. Might be risky using them though, haven't trained them much, and the rest of the gang's not really strong enough to push that hard. Should be able to get around them one way or another though. Only reason I know more is because I went in, you'll know about the same in a few minutes. Anyways, let's do this!" Jamie ducks into her changing area, leaving Orin to do his own thing.
On the other side, now out of her pajamas, Jamie surveys the gym. The architecture was nice, and the water flowing through could probably be of use somehow, though also likely a hinderance as well. Her path looks manageable, though she couldn't really tell which one was faster. "What do you think, Orin? Your path or mine?"

After changing and stowing any gear that might not take too kindly to a dip in the water, Orin emerged on the other side. "By the looks of it, there will be challanges either way. I'd love to challange everyone... but I know we need to be practical and get to the finish as strong as possable."
Looking at the paths ahead, "I say left; just because it isn't right, doesn't mean it's wrong."

The left path would have what looked like a jester, the man currently just finishing putting on his flippers. He'd go a few rotations of juggling small balls, before catching them, and grinning. "An early morning to you two! Getting a head-start on the day? Since this seems like your first time here, you want a crash-course on the rules of our little gym here?"
