Blossoming Orchid [Training]

I Need More Affection Than You Know

Up and down...up and down…



That seemed to be the bunny’s routine today. Nonetheless, Orchid could do nothing but stare at the rabbit Pokemon as Buneary would leap up...and dropped down...and up...and down. Orchid’s blue spheres would gaze upon the Pokemon who had used its bounce attack, consistently, making motions as if it was attempting acrobatics. With his eyes so busy distracted by the Pokemon, he was not sure if he could even cut in to. They could not even begin to start working on things such as movements and coordination.



“Umm...Bun-chan…” Orchid’s hand would lift slightly, “...We should really work on-”

SWOOSH!!! 

The Pokemon rocketed into the air again.



The sun made it quite hard to see the Pokemon that was airborne with how high she sprung that time. All that was left was a puff of dust that blow outward towards the edges of the field from the sudden ascension. Orchid, who had been lifted his arm guarding against the sudden brush of gale, had tried to contain his annoyance. Thus far, Midori Region had been strange: a bunch of unusual breed of Pokemon who had a thing for attitude problems and cockiness. He could not deny, however, seeing Buneary shoot high into the air was getting was quite the sight.



“Have to admit, she is getting pretty good,” The violet haired boy said folding the wide arms of his kimono, “Especially if she jumps that high. May not even need a flying-type Pokemon at this point.”



There were certain battles that were only possible with flying-type Pokemon, according to some trainers. There were even some people that participated in aerial battles. However, from the look of how Buneary moved after bouncing up into the air, spinning, sweeping its little body; she seemed so graceful! “I never trained a Pokemon that was not a grass-type,” The boy pursed his lips slightly looking to the Buneary as she landed. His blue orbs trailing off, “I am not sure how to train her.”



Thoughts were disrupted by the sudden leap of the rabbit that landed before him and looked up to his blue eyes. Her own beady black eyes looked upon his as they seemed to be authentically drawn to Orchid’s. She huffed.



“R-right...I-I suppose you did do good today.” The Pokemon folded her arms proudly as Orchid responded to her. Although, in his mind, it felt like they really accomplished nothing when it came to teamwork.

Day two…

Well, not exactly. Ever since knowing Buneary, Orchid had been constantly trying to ring in the Pokemon to at least following some kind of training regiment. “O-okay, l-let’s see…” The violet haired boy was standing at the edge of the local forest. The towering trees were intimidating as he knew not what to expect from this region. Viridian Forest was one matter, but this region was something alien to him. “...Bun-chan, you should train other moves than just Bounce. I remember you using your Quick-Attack, your Power-Up Punch, and-” The boy paused, tilting his head slightly.

“Now that I think about it...you only used three.”

The Buneary would roll its eyes hearing Orchid. As if to ignore the conversation and where it was going, the rabbit Pokemon would lash out with its little paw. A crack emitting from impact as the bunny’s strike would hit the bark on a tree. A soft glow coming from its hand as it seemed to become stronger and intensify. The sound was so sudden that Orchid himself had turned his attention to the rabbit, almost completely forgetting what they were talking about.

“W-wait, B-Bun-chan!” Orchid would reach out his hand, “W-we should train together. Not only that...but your other technique-”

Crack… 

Crack… 

CRACK!!! 

Orchid’s voice had went on deaf ears. Even for a rabbit, she was good at tuning him out. The rabbit Pokemon had kept pounding at the tree as the technique was making each hit stronger than the last. A Power-Up Punch that was mounting the strength with each impact kept hammering into the body of the tree reducing its midsection into splinters with each hit. Orchid’s eyes would droop once again as if he felt like he failed at trying to make at least one strive forward with her.

“Bun-chan!” He would cry aloud, raising his head in a hint of frustration. “Will you just listen?!”

The cry was sudden, frustrating, but somewhat misplaced. For a moment, he did not see a Pokemon that was working through her own devices, but a female that had this haughty nature of doing what she wanted. A nightmare in itself as it was everything that reminded him of home. “I-I mean…” His stomach turning flips as he was slow to look up again seeing the bunny look at him from sheer shock. As if she never would have expected him to yell at anyone, let alone have the gull to raise his voice.

“It is just…” he swallowed. “W-we should go. We should...train together next time, r-right?”

Buneary’s mouth hung open in confusion. Utter stillness in the air had emphasized the moment as she was not sure where the sudden show of attitude came from Orchid. She would nod her head, swallowing, remembering simply that she never heard the boy’s voice become so filled with authority.

Truth be told, she liked it.

“W-well...-W-we should get going.”

Easy come and easy go, his fiery side went. Still, the bunny followed as he journeyed into the mouth of the woods leaving the creaking tree behind. It at least brought comfort to know that it was there.

“You are really improving, BunBun-chan!”

The violet haired boy would watch as the Buneary would make one more turn through the air. Her feet slipping below her as she spun downward towards the ground. With one more twist of her body, she would touchdown as the dust would blow outward with a thump of her feet. Slowly the bunny would take a stand as she would triumphantly place her little hands on her hips and nod her head upward. Her head giving a pride filled nod while she tooted up her nose to the highest point possible.

“You even let me compliment you and you don’t do that...uh...thing...where you scrunch your face.” The bunny Pokemon furrowed her brow and crossed her arms. Her lips twisting as she shown the corner of her teeth. “Y-yeah...like that.” The violet haired boy watched as the Pokemon would turn her back, once more, lowering her body’s center as if she was readying to bounce once more into the air.

“B-Bun-chan! About that fourth move, I really think we should try to-”

And she launched!

The Buneary, as usual, ignored him and just resorted to strengthening her other techniques. Honestly, Orchid did not want to admit it to her, but it was impressive that the rabbit Pokemon was getting by using simply attacking techniques. Even Grass Pokemon were not so difficult, and it only made Orchid twist his lips in slight frustration as he was tempting to cry out once again in anger.

...but he didn’t.

“Well...I guess it is an improvement that she is at least accepting compliments.” Orchid’s eyes would shift slightly annoyed. They still had a long way to go obviously.

“Bun-chan! Sit this one out!”

The Violet haired boy’s voice would shock the Buneary as much as anything else he was doing lately. The small rabbit Pokemon would look up to him reaching into his sleeve for a Pokeball. At that moment, with a single toss, the violet haired boy would unleash from the ball a familiar fluttering Owl. The Buneary’s head would tilt as it seemed somewhat confused, but alas, intrigued. She would let her beady black eyes go up to the Pokemon as he lowered his decent. All the while, Orchid would have a weak smile upon his face.

It was a sad and gentle one.

“We need to work on your flying.” Orchid’s arms would fold, “That Roselia poisoning you could have gotten...well...worse.” His eyes would go to the Buneary that was standing on the ground with her mouth agape. Sure, Buneary could take on poison to a degree and tough it out, but yet, Rowlet did not fair so well. It barely managed to escape the scrape that would come from the flower of the Grass-Type Pokemon. “Bun-chan is fast, a-and I am certain Scythe-san is...overwhelming.” Orchid would remember the Scyther’s speed. It was fearsome!

“W-we should start!” He exclaimed, his hand flying up as he pointed his finger towards the Rowlet. “Try to follow along wherever I point, and watch for when I change direction, okay?” The Buneary would watch as Orchid would thrust his finger towards the Rowlet and then sweep it quickly through the air. The Owl Pokemon followed quickly along a flight path while it had gazed back at the direction he pointed. It had become apparent that if the violet haired boy’s finger was an attack, the owl would be trying to dodge and be careful of it.

Nonetheless, it was an interesting training session as the Rowlet would sweep through the sky, using acrobatic movements through the air that it never thought of doing as it was desperate to follow Orchid’s tracing finger.

“Now, Sweety-chan! Rapid Spin!”

The violet haired boy would fold his arms as the Bounsweet would start revolving in circles once more. Each spin within the Midori Jungle would send the nearby leaves spinning upward in circles. Bits of foliage would send itself skyward and sending it sweeping among the reaching branches. Only when the fruit Pokemon would come to a slow that the violet haired boy would reach his hand to his head and brush it back. His blue eyes would sweep upward to see the Pokemon gently fall down to the ground as if she was a feather.

“You are doing great, Sweety-chan!” His voice would chime as the fruit Pokemon would bounce in place, “You will catch up to BunBun-Chan in no time!” His face would glow a soft red as if warmed by joy, but there was also a bit of shame. Some piece of him did not want the Grass-Pokemon to evolve, yet, he knew it was inevitable. He could almost envision her being a Tsareena. A crude and sadistic face would flash right before his eyes, paralyzing him with fear for only a moment as his body trembled.

Another shrill cry…

The Bounsweet had stopped as she gazed upward in confusion. Orchid’s sudden change of disposition drawn the attention of other Pokemon. The Lopunny that had been overseeing the progress of her pupil had stopped to see the trainer’s blank expression. He would snap back into reality, looking at the two Pokemon that were worried about him. His head shook the locks of violet hair. “I-I am fine.” Orchid would insist, “L-let’s continue, Sweety-chan, okay?”

The fruit Pokemon would shrug its body as if nodding its head readily. They would start another session. One that did not last long, but he wished it would have lasted forever.

His aim was improving… 

Orchid could see that from Dartrix given the number of targets that had been standing after he would sit them up one by one. Across the beach, the violet haired boy would use easels that were graciously donated by one of the locals. An old man who seemed to want to compare his own throwing knife skills to the Pokemon Dartrix. If one knew anything about the stories of the bird Pokemon, they knew that the aim of a Dartrix was flawless. 

“Alright, Owl-san!” Orchid would wave his kimono’s wide sleeve like a banner, “Throw again!” 

There was a whip of the wing from the Datrix as it would sweep over head of Orchid and the faithful, but sassy, Lopunny that stood by his side. The rabbit Pokemon would mimic Orchid’s movements as if acting like a second in command. The Datrix would ignore the Lopunny, but certainly put its all in throwing the Razor Leaf like knives. Cast forth, the leaves would shed through the targets one by one as they would hit the center bull’s eye. The red dot was pierced, destroyed and cracked to the edges by a single leaf. 

“That was great!” The violet haired boy would comment. His feet stamping across the beach as he would begun to collect the shards of the target one by one. The Pokemon landing by the Lopunny. They would exchange intense glances to one another before Orchid would turn around and look at them both. The young boy expelling a stressed little breath from his mouth as he had grown tired of the bickering between the two.  

“If only your teamwork was just as good.” The violet haired boy would comment before finally collecting the pieces of wood into a nearby box. Lifting the remnants of trash, he would approach the two. A weak smile coming to his face that almost seemed sad. “Oh well...I can think of...worse families…” he would say before walking away. The Pokemon curious to the violet haired boy’s words, but would follow him with curiosity racking their brains.

This was not working out…

It was not Steenee’s form. The Grass-type Pokemon was actually doing quite well. Between its flips, jumps, and the way it was dancing around on its little feet, the Pokemon was becoming quite acrobatic. The style of the Grass-Type Pokemon was undeniable, especially since it was combining them with flourishing movements. “She is clearly a dancer,” Orchid would think. “Her movements are all flowing! I can see how Grass-type attacks would work well with her style, but-”



Orchid was very fond of the Grass-Type Pokemon’s attack style. He was nothing short of proud of it. The only thing that was bothering him was...who was over it. “Oranguru…” his eyes nervously shifted to the fan the Pokemon held out. It would thrust it out, using a grunt, as it would instruct the Steenee to use the Razor Leaf attack once more and sending the leaves whirling about in a cyclone-like pattern. Only when it would be satisfied, it would stop in place and cross the fan over his chest.

All the while, ignoring Orchid…

“Can I at least direct her myself?” Orchid insisted as he would turn his eyes to the cheerful Pokemon, “I know you want to direct and instruct, but I must be responsible for my fri-” Orchid would pause as he would gaze upon the Steenee. The Oranguru once again missing as Orchid cringed. He knew what was to come, turning his right side seeing the massive white ape standing before him.

THWACK!!!~

“O-owwie!” He toppled over with the smack of the fan. The violet haired boy would sit down with his reddened cheeks as the Steenee ran over. “Y-yeah....l-let’s wrap up training for today. I-I don’t think I can take too many of those.” Ironically, the Oranguru would nod in agreement.

“Okay! Dance Session, take two!”

As much as Orchid hated to do dances and expressions for all to see, this was the exception. Steenee’s battle-style thrived off of dancing and graceful movements! So, it was a good idea for the violet haired boy to actually do it together with the impressionable little grass type. As a result, he would pick a natural setting in one of the Pokemon Center’s Gyms where he would use it as a training area. Only when stamping his feet as if counting down did the violet haired boy would start to dance along with the Steenee to begin her battle lesson.

“And one-two-three...aaaand-”

Orchid would make a spin with the Steenee following suit. Unlike her, he was heavy! He could not float like the Grass-Type Pokemon as she would go in circles. The young grass-type taking off as she would lightly land on her tiptoes. Orchid could only copy the motion as he would sweep out his leg to carry his momentum. Nonetheless, it still was a valiant effort to keep moving like the Grass-type. She was fond of the efforts either way as she would look to Orchid while they faced one another.

“Okay! Now let’s do those motions again,” he would insist, “But this time, let us try using it with your Razor Leaf, okay?”

The Razor Leaf would make the difference. The flying greenery would sweep outward as they flung from her body. The spinning motions making them sweep around her body with grace. They were the perfect decoration to accompany her movements, and it would have been fortunate if she was a Pokemon who was in Coordination. Orchid would have to consider it. The thought crossing his mind as his sapphire orbs would stay upon the Pokemon.

Leaves, joy, and all...

The team was a bit stronger than when he first came to Midori…

But Orchid had not seen any growth from the Eevee that was within his party. With the day coming to train upon the beach, he would allow the Pokemon to burst from the Pokeball and garner his attention. “I wonder…” He would whisper quietly as the jolly little Eevee had barely noticed his gaze. The Pokemon was too enthralled in the playful activities and sparring that the other Pokemon was doing. It left the violet haired boy to think about what was the possible evolution that would come from the Pokemon.

“Eve-chan!”

The violet haired boy would call to the fox Pokemon. As she would halt in place, his eyes would stay affixed on the cheerful Pokemon. As usual, she would have that curious look within her eyes, readily to follow his command. She was the most “normal” of the set of Pokemon that were in his party. The violet haired boy would smile, nodding his head in a silent acknowledgement. He hoped she would sense just how appreciative he was of her loyalty.

“Okay, let’s start with Double-Edge!” The violet haired boy would watch as the Pokemon would start to back away slowly. Her bushy tail lifting into the air as she would prepare herself to charge. “Go!” With a chant, the Eevee would charge forth full-force as she raced across the sands. Her voice piped with a repetitive chant that could have been like song with how she was rushing forth. Orchid would watch as she race past him, his hand pressing against his straw hat.

“I never noticed before,” he would breathe in bewilderment, “But Eve-chan is certainly fast!”

The second time was the charm…

The Eevee had gotten Orchid’s attention more often these days due to her spirit. Unlike the rest of the team, she did not have an over inflated ego and was not passively aggressive. Orcid, for once, felt relaxed during training as she was more cooperative than the rest of the Pokemon in his party. With just the right amount of glee in her tone as she skipped across the beach, the violet haired boy would smile warmly seeing her enjoy herself.

“You having fun, Eve-chan?” His fingers dancing across his chin. “You have gotten stronger as of late.”

It was undeniable! It was just as undeniable as the Eevee’s joy as she would jump up and down in joy. Her bushy tail was sticking up as she would bounce up and down. “Okay, now let’s get back to training.” Orchid would chime with a sweep of his finger, “Let us practice with your swift attack today. Perhaps make it very pretty?”

The brown Pokemon had been practicing this attack as of late. It was probably one of her most favorite moves. The very moment she would hear the cue for the attack, the Eevee would begin to lower her body closer to the stands. On all fours, she would kneel until finally there would be a series of glowing points around her body. These points would burst into light, slowly becoming star-shaped energy that would float around her in a series. With a yelp of her voice, the Eevee would finally cause an explosive burst of light that would send forth each of the small stars as they would race across the area.

“Very good!”

Orchid placed his fingers together pleased as the stars swept past him with ease. Her aiming was not so dangerous that any of them came close to actually hurting him. With how skilled and trustworthy the little fox Pokemon was, he did not doubt her for a second. It made it easy for him! It was easy enough to just stand idly by as he watched the stars whirl by while the Eevee stared at him from the distance.
