Training

Kimi carried a small bag on her shoulder as she stepped out of her home and headed towards the Karate Dojo.

It was just as usual that she attended and did some extra training and sparring against those inside.

Her relationship with those inside had become a little better than before and that had included Mitsuwa.

The Karate Master seemed to be encouraging the two to get to know each other better and to make friends but they were still not quite best buddies yet.

Kimi did not mind becoming friends with a relative of someone influential in her region since it gave her opportunities that others would not have and someone to call upon when things got tough.

The main issue was that her side activities and life would be difficult to maintain the more she got closer to Mitsuwa since it involved keeping secrets from a close friend.

Out of the people Kimi had considered to bring into her plans, Mitsuwa was not one of them.

The Karate Master was someone who had recently lost his status as a Gym Leader but was still able to keep his building and position so he was still connected to and had people he knew within the league.

He and his family were not completely separate from the influence of the Pokémon League so bringing them into her plans would only cause them harm in the future if their involvement was found out.

Both the Karate Master and Mitsuwa did not have suitable personalities to enter the criminal underworld and other things she would take part in due to their more straightforward personalities so it was even more reason to not get them involved.

If she did run into troubles with her other life then she did not wish to involve those who could lose everything they had worked so diligently to build for themselves and what they had worked hard to protect.

Kimi had been busy working out her body some more as she lifted various weights and joined in on the open karate classes.

She was gradually adapting to their style of fighting and was making far less mistakes as she efficiently started to use their various basic techniques without overexerting her body or using too wide movements that would waste energy.

It felt good to exercise her body due to there being a much better result that came from her Aura training due to her possessing a stronger and healthier body.

If the body was the container of the energy that was Aura then it needed to be sturdy enough to hold it and make use of it without causing harm to oneself.

It was one main reason that kept Kimi working so hard as she was making the most of her youth to train her body and Aura so that she could surpass the stage she reached in her previous life.

Her mastery over the basics was very fast and it was possible for her to move onto more advanced classes but she kept at it just so that she could properly adapt to the new style of combat and properly think over how the various moves would work together with her other martial arts.

She was always thinking on how to improve upon what she already knew even if it meant mixing in other styles and stances to best suit her bodies build and size.

She wiped the sweat from her head with a towel as she sat on a bench, her gaze shifted towards Tyrogue and Growlithe who were both running around a room.

A small smile appeared on her face as she saw their hard efforts to improve themselves and to not lose to the other.

Tyrogue was holding a weighted bag over its shoulder as it carried it around with it while Growlithe had a harness on her body which was used to pull around a weighted bag along the ground behind her. "Gggrrrowlithe!" "Tyyyrogue!"

They occasionally let out some noise as they put in more effort and encouraged or taunted the other as they competed.

In another corner was a small Pokémon which was Espeon who was doing her own workout that had to do with using her psychic abilities to lift different sized and weighted objects. "Essspeon!"

It had been a requirement for her to do a little more physical exercise so that she did not just have her Psychic abilities to rely on and she could have her physical abilities to fall back on if her Psychic abilities were not enough.

Another among her Pokémon that was let out to train was Chansey who had been providing some care to those who were tired and she had worked out a little too.

Her other Pokémon were less suitable for such workouts and would not benefit much from them so she had left them back at her home.

Cubone was no longer getting her focus after getting Tyrogue so she was still thinking of how to deal with it.

Tangela and Ryhorn were both temporary placeholders for her future team but they were still quite useful for various reasons but Ryhorn was not suitable to bring into the Karate Dojo while Tangela would not gain much from the training besides improving its use of its vines.

Kimi already had to split her attention towards those she had brought along with her while focussing on her own training so she could not afford to be distracted any further especially since she was trying to make the best use of her time there.

Mitsuwa had already left her alone after training together a little and sparring so Kimi was sitting alone overlooking her teams gradual progress with satisfaction in her eyes. 'Not bad.'

It seemed like a normal day inside the Karate Dojo as she adjusted to her environment a little at a time until she heard some noise coming from closer to the main entrance.

There seemed to be people yelling from the front door and more noise was heard as the people inside the Karate Dojo began to run towards that direction to see what was happening.

"Damn.. not again."

"These punks.."

"So arrogant.."

"I wish they would stop coming here.."

The commotion drew her attention even more as she sent out her Aura to sense close to the door.

Her Aura extended outward and passed through the many people who were there so she could sense the many people who were there until she detected some strange presences. 'Hm?'
