Warmups

With war almost upon us, we must all do our best to become the absolute strongest that we can. Unfortunately, I have not been able to train as much as I would like, on account of my strength makes it difficult to spar with someone without the risk of serious injury if I don't carefully hold back.

It never seemed terribly pressing when we were more or less at peace, but now I need to ask. Are there any of you who want to train with me who are tougher than an ordinary human?

[Action]

A few days before the operation to save Sanctuary began, Morgiana has done a crash course to help get herself back in shape. She wasn't ever exactly OUT of shape, but her months spent in Union have left her slightly less hard bitten and deadly than she had been as a servitor. All that friendship and understanding and regular meals really takes the edge off of a warrior.

And so, after making her offer/challenge to the warp band network, she spent her afternoon in a small dirt field not far beyond the walls that she frequently used for training in relative privacy, waiting for would be opponents. While she waited, she practiced punches, aided by the massive stone weights strapped around her wrists. Gultas, her Pangoro friend and ally, stood by her and matched her motions. Though the pokemon was easily two or three times the size of the fanalis, he was probably the weaker of the two.

Looking for a sparring partner? I could use someone to train with myself.

Plus it's been a while since we last talked. I'm interested to see what you can do now.
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

Why is it, then?

...Uh. Huh.

[He's just staring at where the tree used to be.]

Fighting-type?

Maybe. But Flying-types resist Fighting-type moves.

Not to mention that you can't damage what you can't hit.

[Sounds like someone is seeing this as a way to test his mettle.]

Sometimes a little risk is what you need to get better. I'm totally game.
