The Second Gym


"I'm sorry, Saque. Pursuit isn't... I've never been good at dealing with it. I expected it; I gave you that berry, but... I should have let Muay finish the Ivysaur. Maybe? I... don't know. If he had gone in and it had hit him, I don't think he'd have been able to finish the Tauros. Was sacrificing you the only way? I'm sorry. I'm not very good at this."

Saque tilted her head quizzically.

"I was an athlete before. And then... something happened. I haven't been a coach very long, but... we never do as well as I want."

Chalk appeared in hand, pink to show on the white wall.

High expectations.

"Do you think so?"

Young athletes. Young coach. Saque shrugged.

"You think it's to be expected?" Nod. "Baryon and Visi though, they're experienced. I mean, Baryon is. Visi hasn't been on a team before, but he battles. I... now that I think of it, Baryon hasn't battled for me yet. I guess everyone is less experienced than I think they are. I just think there's... more I could be doing."

Coach. Dance.

"Is that really working, though? Muay and Langley know a lot of what I know. Baryon and Visi are picking it up quickly for such big guys. And you... your style is unique but fantastic. I don't know if I could even coach you well."

Structure. Experience.

"Oh. If that's what helps you, I'll do my best to work with that. Maybe... I guess I'll talk to the others. I don't even really know what they want from me. I... I should really know that. Thanks, Saque."

Interlude


The sounds of Visi and Baryon sparring were drowned out by both their own trash-talking and the peanut gallery of Muay and Langley.

"Damn, Baryon, you slow as hell today!"

"Still faster'n you, steel girl! Hah, Visi, what t' hell was that supposed to be?"

"Booooo, learn to punch!"

"Not all of us have Iron Fist!"

"Iron Fist doesn't help if you straight up miss!

Eira snickered and Saque tilted her head. "You didn't hear anything." Saque mimed zipping her mouth closed, then laughed her silent laugh.

Such fun people she had found. People willing to work with her, learn from her, incorporate her own styles and lessons into their established techniques. People willing to interact as more than just coworkers. Bonding with her team, her team bonding with each other- what a wonderful, beautiful experience.

Muay and Langley cheered as Baryon flipped Visi over his shoulder, slammed him into the ground, and stood on him while pulling victory poses.

"Congratulations, Baryon!" Eira called, strolling into the ring. "Your footwork's lacking, though."

"I'm heavy, Coach. Can't go too fast."

"It isn't all about speed; form is important as well. Don't think I didn't see you stumble over your own tail."

"Hey, things happen."

"Watch my feet. All of you, please. Baryon, square up."

Eira danced, Baryon following. She matched his pace, tapping here, there, bouncing, weaving, ducking. A jab into his swishing tail- "Owww, coach! Don't Ice Punch me!"

"Uh? Sorry I- didn't mean to?"

Eira looked at her paws in confusion. Snow sprinkled from them for a moment, then her vision was obscured by steam as they heated up for Fire Punch. Electricity darted down to her elbows, discharging into the air before Eira's paws glowed with the light of three elements at once. It spread down her arms, engulfing her body in light and her form began to shift. The white energy increased, pulsed, and exploded out of her, throwing Baryon to the ground.

The rest of the team rushed over as soon as their eyesight returned. Visi dragged Baryon to his feet and joined the others, hovering worriedly around their dazed coach.

"Eira-- Eira, are you okay?"

She looked at her paws once more, prodding the fur that now covered her wrists. She put them to her head and ran them down the new length of her ears. "I... evolved?"

"Pretty dramatically, yeah," laughed Langley nervously.

"How... unexpected," Eira said, and blacked out.
