Training Together, Friends Forever

Arthurpaw journey to Mt. Travail so far has been long and uneventful. Arthurpaw floats into the local area, the local Pokémon were muttering to eachother while glaring at a Combusken. The Combusken continues training against wooden targets, oblivious that they are disturbing the peace.

Arthurpaw, with the goal of earning the respect and praise of the locals, goes to confront this Combusken. Arthurpaw approaches the Combusken, "Hey! You're-". SMACK! A fighting type move smacks into Arthurpaw, it has no affect except agitating Arthurpaw. "HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, YOU-" Arthurpaw begins to yell before being cut off by the Combusken, "OH MY ARCEUS! IM SO SO SO SO SO SORRY! You okay?" the Combusken says in a panicked and worried tone. All anger fades from Arthurpaw, he feels guilty for yelling at this Combusken, "Yeah im fine, fighting moves don't affect me." The two sit on a bench and talk to each other.

The Combusken introduces themself as Blitzstone. The two talk about stuff ranging from training to battling, they get along well. "Blitzstone, Im going to be honest with you, your training is disturbing the locals." Arthurpaw regretfully tells Blitzstone. Blitzstone is shocked by this information, "Really!? Nobody ever told me that, if I knew I was disturbing the peace i would have moved to a different training spot." Blitzstone has a dishearten look on their face, trying to cheer his new friend up Arthurpaw replys, "Well why don't we move now and train together!" Blitzstone face lightens up, "Hell yeah, Let's do it! I'll lead the way!" The two Pokémon leave the local area and go into a more private area and they train together until nightfall.

They duo are exhausted from training. "Maybe we should stop for today" Arthurpaw wheezes. Blitzstone nods in response. They lie on the ground exhausted, not saying a word to eachother, just enjoying the others company. "OH SHOOT!" Arthurpaw shoots up, Blitzstone is stunned by Arthurpaw's sudden wave on panic, "I COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT IM SUPPOSED TO BE ON A PATROL! DO I HAVE TO BE BACK TODAY? WHEN DO I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE CLAN!?!?!? AAAAAAH I WISH I READ THAT STUPID PATROL GUIDE INSEAD ON JUST PRETENDING I DID!" Arthurpaw is scrambling to get all his stuff together. Blitzstone speaks up "Relax a minute Arthurpaw, take a breath, It's getting to late for you to go traveling back to your clan. In the morning we will travel back to your clan together." Arthurpaw has calmed down but is still a bit anxious, "but what if i get in trouble for being back late..?" Blitzstone smirks, "I'll be your alibi! We can make something up on the road tomorrow." Arthurpaw calms down and they go back to relaxing together and talking until they eventually fall asleep.
