It was that time again when Freya would be trying her best to get her pokemon's best out of them. Whether this meant goading them into doing better, training them till they ran out of energy, or whatever else, she would do it. She loved her pokemon with all her heart, but that didn't mean she couldn't at least trained them to the best of their abilties. She had quite a few goals that day, which included teaching her baby pokemon how to fight, teaching her Togedemaru how to dance, and allowing Gorebyss to get more comfortable in her form. There was a lot of work to do, and she wasn't exactly sure where to start. So, as she tossed out each and every one of her pokemon, She knelt down to see what they thought was best. After all, it was their training too. If she were to pick out every single part of it, then they wouldn't be as independent of pokemon as they should be.
So, as her pokemon came out of their balls, each and every one of their personalities were highlighted. Eevee had a smile on her face, as the Glameow had her head tilted up and away from all of her companions. The Togedemaru was extremely happy, with it's eyes wide with anticipation, while her Sewaddle kept to herself. Gorebyss looked across at each of them, realizing that she was the elder amongst all of them. The water type wanted to try and do something about the awkward silence, but instead awaited Freya's order.
Each and every one of the pokemon seemed like they weren't exactly interested in communicating with the others, but that wasn't going to stop Freya from getting them to actually make a decision with each other. She wanted to see if her pokemon would cooperate, become submissive towards another pokemon, or if they wouldn't come up with a decision at all. She hoped that it was the first idea rather than the others, but she would just see. So, with this in mind, she opened her mouth and said to her pokemon, "Well guys, I guess you all are wondering why I brought you all out at the same time, huh? Well, I've decided to do a bit of training to do, but all of you need to decide on who's going to start their training first. I want you all to cooperate in the best way possible. I know that it may be hard for some of you..." She looked at Glameow with an accusatory look on her face, but it seemed like the pokemon didn't understand the idea. "...but you have to decide this. For right now, I'm just the proctor rather than the trainer. So, Togedemaru wants to learn to dance. I've heard that without training, she can become pretty destructive. Eevee is here to teach the pokemon how to dance so that she won't be a danger to the things around her. Sewaddle seems to be trying to understand its hugeness, and since Gorebyss has gained a new form, she will join in with the pokemon to help them figure out how to move efficiently in battle. Glameow, Eevee, and Sewaddle also need to practice fighting. They are relatively new to it, and need to learn how to do it successfully. So, now that you guys know what we need to do, argue amongst yourselves to come to a conclusion, alright?"

Freya watched her pokemon carefully to see how they would do with the new task that was put before them. She expected the conversation to go one of two ways. The pokemon would converse amongst themselves, not being able to communicate with each other on what they wanted. Glameow would probably try her best to be the leader of the argument, hoping that they would follow her lead in picking the training that she is in. After all, the queen of all pokemon must go first, right? Sewaddle will unknowingly go along, hoping that very little conflict is had for him and for anyone else. Of course, this would be impossible since Togedemaru and Eevee would team up to try and get their training for dancing through. After all, the both of them loved to dance whenever they could. Gorebyss would then try to calm the whole group down to no avail, leading to the ultimate chaos.
The second way this conversation could go, is that Glameow could be a tyrant, and make those around her subject to her. The other pokemon didn't like the amount of drama that Glameow could bring, which meant that they wouldn't try to fight her at all. This would mean that Glameow would get her way, and have the baby pokemon do their training. However, Freya wanted Glameow to understand the logic behind the situation. If they were to train with Glameow first off, then they wouldn't have the energy to train with the other pokemon. This was the one thing that could break both of the situations. The one filled with tyranny, and the one filled with chaos. The only pokemon that Freya was sure of in this situation was Gorebyss. She was the only pokemon that Freya had that was gentle and sensible enough to get this through the minds of her pokemon. After all, she was the balance between all of their insanities.
So, with this, Freya watched chaos ensue as her first way had become the way the conversation went. Though, Freya assumed that the chaos would be too much for even Gorebyss to settle. However, she was proved wrong extremely quickly. Her soft and subtle voice turned into one of loudness. She seemed to become a mother figure in that situation. She had realized that she was the elder. She knew more than each and every one of the pokemon that were there. She reasoned with each and every one of them, bringing up the topic of why Glameow's way wasn't right. She was soft, even with her convincing, and in the end, Glameow sassily agreed. She may think she's the best thing ever, but she can prove when she's wrong. Except, having her be wrong was not something that she enjoyed, so she tried to make the idea all her own, but to no avail the pokemon stared at her with fed up looks. This then lead to the pokemon whipping her tail back at them and towards Freya, wishing for her to be put back in the ball.
Now that that was settled, they still had two more options that were open. Either way was fine, meaning that it was really who wanted it the most. With Sewaddle not wanting any more conflict than what had already happened, it didn't seem like it cared too much about who went first. Since Gorebyss was more of the motherly figure in the situation, she seemed to not care too much as well. The only pokemon that cared enough about the training was Togedemaru and Eevee. The both of them excitedly jumped up and down, trying to convince the two other pokemon with excitement gleaming in their eyes. It didn't take much convincing before the other two decided that Togedemaru and Eevee should go first.
Gorebyss and Sewaddle then went back to Freya, getting called back into their pokeballs before Eevee and Togedemaru ran around the field with happiness. It seemed like the two of them were becoming a lot more friendly with each other now that they had fought together for a common cause. It actually had seemed that way with Gorebyss and Sewaddle too. The only person who hadn't really warmed up to much of anyone was Glameow. Although it was a problem, considering how much they would have to work together, she decided that she would just need to focus now on the two pokemon that were right in front of her.
After the debacle that had happened was finished, Freya had went to training her Togedemaru right away. This was going to be difficult for Togedemaru considering all the damage it had done, but Freya was hopeful in that Eevee would be able to train it to do otherwise. So, Freya had gotten herself ready to make sure that the pokemon wasn't going to destroy anything of Freya's. The only thing she had on her at the moment was her violin. She didn't expect the pokemon to become a full out dancer, but allowing her to flow with the music rather than a raging river was what she truly wanted. Hopefully, the violin would allow the pokemon to listen to the song inside it's head to dance. Something that was smooth and constant rather than energetic and intense. So, Freya raised up the violin up to her chin and thought up a song to perform.
This song was important to the training, because it would be something that Freya would drill into the pokemon's head to get the basics of dancing down. It was overly excited, and she needed to calm it down a bit more in order for it to do what it loved. So, as she thought about it, she finally picked a song that would be perfect for the exercise. It was the one that had always been stuck in her head as a child. The song was the same one she had played in Cedar. The one she had learned as a child. It was a love song that her mother played for her, because that was the strongest kind of love there was, the love between a mother and her child. Even thinking about it now, she couldn't help but put a smile on her face. This smile was something she was going to transfer into her music. She had the song already melded into her mind, now she would have it melded into the mind of the Togedemaru.
So, as she got ready to play, she looked down at her little eevee and togedemaru as they looked at Freya with hope in their eyes. She was hoping that with this, the Eevee would be able to guide the pokemon in the ways of dance. Of course, the pokemon couldn't become the ballet dancer it wanted to be, but at least it could dance in a way that it would love, right? That was what Freya's hope was at least. Knowing Eevee, she would love to dance her heart out to this song. After all, it was one of the songs Freya had played right before she was born. Every now and again, Freya would hear that same melody over and over again, as the Eevee tried to hum it. With the thought of that happiness in her mind, she had begun to play the song. She played it not just so Togedemaru wouldn't break stuff, but also so that it could be truly happy.
Looking at the pokemon before her, she saw as Togedemaru had begun to jump around the field. It didn't really seem to have any rhyme or rhythm to what it was doing. The Eevee looked at the pokemon in question. She couldn't believe that something that was as excited as she was was so bad at dancing. So, the Eevee decided that it would try to pull a little prank on the dancing pokemon. Maybe a little trip would get the pokemon to dance better. After all, that's what makes you a better dancer. Failing over and over again, was it not? All Eevee needed to do was jump start the process a tiny bit. With the Togedemaru dancing towards it, Eevee's mischevious smile had come upon her face as she reached out her leg to where the Togedemaru's destination was. Before Freya could realize what was happening, it was already to late for the adorable pokemon. It was now tumbling right towards Freya. Whether the pokemon could regain its balance was a complete mystery, and Freya was too shocked at the sight to even move. So, as she stopped the song, she recoiled back, waiting for the impact of the pokemon to happen.
