Secret facility - II

General Harrison continued with the briefing, outlining the rigorous training regimen the students would undergo. He emphasized the importance of physical fitness and informed them that daily exercise would be mandatory for everyone. Hand-to-hand combat training would also be a crucial part of their preparation.

"In addition to physical training, you will have theoretical classes that will cover detailed information about Pokémon and various Pokémon items," General Harrison explained.

With 63 students, they would be divided into three groups of 21, each assigned a mentor. Xavier and Alex were relieved to find themselves in the same group, under the guidance of Captain Jonathan. The other groups would have Captain Julie Campbell and Captain Dean Smith as their mentors.

After the briefing, they were taken to their respective living areas. Each student was provided with a single room furnished with a bed, a washroom, and a study table. They were also given sets of clothing for their physical and theory classes along with casual wear.

Next, the students were taken on a tour of the entire facility, starting with the gym where they would undergo intense physical training. The cafeteria was shown where they would have their meals, and the classrooms were highlighted where they would attend theory classes.

Outside, they were led to the facility's vast training ground where military personnel were actively engaged in various exercises and drills. It was an impressive sight, and the students could feel the seriousness of the training they were about to undergo.

After the tour, they were taken to the cafeteria for dinner, where they had the opportunity to bond with their fellow students. The day concluded with the students being escorted back to their rooms and given pamphlets containing the timetable for the following days.

As Xavier lay on his bed, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness about the challenging days that lay ahead. He knew that this training and preparation would be demanding, but it was also an opportunity for him to grow stronger and make a difference in the world. With determination in his heart, he closed his eyes, ready to face the journey that awaited him as a Tower Runner.
