OOC: Oooh, Toby says we can't Gym Battle. =P And now this is my chance to train my Pokemon.
--
Just one street away from the Gym, Max had a bright idea. A really bright idea. He began to rush back to the entrance to Pewter City, and into the grassy area he went. The first Pokemon he saw was a male Nidoran, nibbling on a nut.
"Found one. Pikachu, lets play!" Max released his Pokemon. "How about we try one of those things that Charmander and its trainer was using! Guess the order!!"
Max threw one finger ahead into a point at the Nidoran. Pikachu stared at its trainer, then used Tackle.
"Awh, not what I had in mind! What's the first move in your movesets?" Pikachu got it now, but was hit with another tackle from the Nidoran. Pikachu threw a Thundershock at the Nidoran.
"YOU'VE GOT IT! NOW LETS GET IT!" Max threw a Pokeball at the Nidoran, and captured it.
"Good job Pikachu, now, all of you COME ON OUT!" Max released all his Pokemon. "Now, I've just taught Pikachu to use sign language. You know all the moves you know.. wait, that doesn't make sense. Well, you know your movesets. When I point my first finger at an opponent, you can use your first move in the set. When I point two fingers, you use the second move, and so on. You'll get it soon, we'll still have to keep training."
All of Max's Pokemon cheered, and they gathered around Max.
"Ya'll know what time it is no matter what, its dinner time. Lets set up eat first, then we get to training aright?"
After the lunch, Max and the Pokemon set to training really hard. Max had a tough time trying to get his Pokemon understand the orders he gave with his finger, so he'd go "Thundershock!" and point the correct finger at the same time. Soon, Pikachu learnt the Swift attack, Pidgey evolved into a Pidgeotto, Max let Metapod evolve into a Butterfree, and an excessively trained Nidoran evolved to a Nidorino. The only Pokemon who refused most commands and had a hard time paying attention was Spearow..
My god, this has been a LOT of work. Night had fallen, and Max used Pikachu letting out sparks once in a while for light. All the other Pokemon were in their Pokeballs, and Max headed back to the Pokemon Center.
At the Pokemon Center, Max got the Pokemon healed, and he booted up the Trainers PC there.
"Ah, you're Max, right? How are you doing?"
"Just fine Professor Oak. Look, I wanted to know if I could store my Pokemon on the PCs? Which domain do I use?" Max asked Professor Oak on the computer.
"Bill's storing some, try his storage system." Professor Oak said. "How's your Pokedex by the way?"
"No idea, I'll let you know later. Thanks Professor. And remember I'll kill you for NOT giving me a Dratini." Max said.
"Yes yes, do that. ...WHAT?"
Max cut the line off, and accessed Bill's PC. He stored Spearow in it, knowing it won't be too good in battle and there was no use hurting it.
"Have fun Spearow, I'm sure the PC managers will take good care of you."
