Smiling, she patted Crystal on the side for a moment and then sighed, she wasn't really getting it too well, she wasn't dodging very well at least, but that was alright at the same time, she would be fine, she would get it. Of course they would come back again to fine tune things after this, so she hoped that it would all be alright. Jack pushed her hair back with a smile and watched as Crystal tried to dodge out of the way of another ball, but got hit on the haunch again with a whinny. All she knew was that things would be alright. Watching the Equillion attempt to dodge out of the way, she wasn't sure this was really working, but at least she knew she was trying. It would be fine, she would get to increase her abilities and all would be well, they would be ready for the tournament after awhile at least.

Crystal would be fine after this training, she wouldn't be too harmed, just a little banged up and bruised after it was all said and done. Jack winced a little, wondering if she wasn't doing this right, but shrugged a little, this was how she had done the others she had brought to training after all. Stamina was worse, increasing that was difficult, and she thought about increasing her resistance to attacks as well, but wasn't sure if she should try that out or not. Frowning, she hoped it wouldn't come to that, but it was possible it would. Leaning against the wall, she watched as Crystal attempted to dance out of the way of another ball, but didn't get out of the way just yet. It was fine she knew, but she wasn't sure what she needed to do in order to get this done. She was getting frustrated, which would definitely help out a bit.

If she got upset and frustrated, that would mean she would concentrate that much harder, or at least Jack hoped so as she watched Crystal attempt to skitter out of the way of another ball. It would all work out, she knew, but what was she going to do before all of that anyway? The woman chuckled a little, hoping she wasn't going to be harmed too much, but knew the bruises would fade before the tournament at least, so there was that much. Frowning, she hoped that she wasn't scarring the Equillion any by doing this, but she hoped that everything would work out. Crystal snorted and stamped on the floor of the Gym as she finally dodged out of the way of a ball that had gone a little wide, but hey, at least it was going well so far, and she was sure that things would work out as Jack cheered a bit for her Pure.

Jack smiled as she wondered what Crystal thought of this whole experience, but she was a little too focused right now to talk. The woman smiled at her as she looked back at her for a moment before attempting to dodge out of the way of another little tennis ball. They hurt, but at least they didn't feel too terribly bad, they weren't going to do any lasting damage and all that. The woman agreed with her and told her she would get a nice bath after this when they got home, to try and settle things down a little bit after all this was done. A little healing salve as well for any of the worse bruises, but they would be fine, they might even manage to get back to the Gym the next day if they were lucky. Jack didn't figure they would be that lucky though, which was an issue, she supposed, but oh well, they had time.

Crystal was managing to get out of the way of most of the tennis balls, as long as they were around the outside of her and not at her core. They could come back and tighten that up after awhile, but they still had quite a bit of training to do at the moment anyway. Jack smiled, she was proud of the Equillion, she was doing pretty well as of right now, and she wished that everything would go much quicker, they had plenty to do at this point, and she thought it would all be alright anyway. Jack rubbed her face as Crystal was hit on the side by another ball, and she hoped that everything would work out. Crystal was slowing down a bit and beginning to complain a little, but the woman coaxed into working for awhile longer, just in time, and it would all work out in the end, she was sure of it.

It was going to be fine, she knew as she winced when Crystal was hit with a particularly fast tennis ball, she would get this down, it wouldn't be perfect, but she would be able to dodge something a bit slower than her at least, and that was the goal. Jack pushed back a little bit off of the wall and walked over to Crystal, moving her legs and wings a little to see what was going to happen for a moment. She frowned as she corrected her posture, and she hoped that it would all be alright in the long run. Crystal nodded as she listened to what the woman was saying about movement and posture as things were alright, and then she hoped that it was going to be alright in the long run. All Jack had to do was figure out what was going on at the moment, she wished that things would go faster though.

As Crystal dodged balls and complained about hurting a little bit at this point, she hoped that it would turn out fine after everything. It was a constant worry, bringing an animal to the Gym, but she was sure it would all be alright. Jack rubbed her face again as she took up position by the wall, watching with a careful eye as Crystal positioned herself facing the pitching machine. It was alright, that was perfect, and she hoped that it would be alright no matter what, she was pretty sure that it was all going to be fine in the long run. Smiling, she offered words of encouragement to the Equillion as she ducked and dodged to the best of her abilities. It was hard for her to do this, but Gym training was difficult no matter what happened, she knew for the moment. Whatever happened, she was pleased that it was going to be alright.

Life was unexpected and strange from time to time, and she reflected on that for a bit as she watched Crystal dodge some more balls. Maybe next time they would be bigger to fine tune her movement. But she never expected herself to train up a Pure quite like this, it was going to be fine though, she just wished... Well, it wasn't like she was the first Pure to be trained up, she was sure of it, but maybe the first to be Gym trained. Well, if that one Equillion counted, then maybe not, but that was a hard one to think of she figured with a slow chuckle. All she could hope for was a good position to do things with for now, to hope they wouldn't completely lose the tournament, but at least win a few fights. It would be fine, Jack knew that things were working on so far, and she hoped that it would be fine for Crystal in the long run. She would thank her some day.

They were getting close to being done, but not quite there yet. Jack had a pretty weathered eye when it came to the Gym, or at least she felt so, so she had a pretty good idea of when things were going to be done. It was fine, she figured with a little chuckle as she watched Crystal dodging as well as she could for now. The little balls were fine, she knew, and things were going smoothly, but she hoped she was doing this the right way for the Pure. The next time the balls would be much bigger, and she was hopeful it wouldn't bother the Equillion too much. That was for next time though, she knew it was going to be alright in the long run. Smiling, she let Crystal take a little break and get some water for a moment, but knew she wanted to get this done no matter what happened.

While they were working, she wondered often how this was going to help in the long run. Crystal needed to help defend everyone, she supposed, but why not train up Merrow some more? Did he even qualify for the tournament? There was a thought, she supposed, but thinking about it for awhile, she didn't think he was any kind of cold oriented, that was all Crystal, and Crystal was why Magic was cold oriented as well. Magic had no wings, which was why she hadn't been picked, and things were fine now, she would stick with Crystal and see what they could achieve in this tournament. As she dodged the balls with a practiced ease at this point, she hoped she wasn't pushing her too hard with all of this training, and she hoped she could handle it. Of course one of her animals could handle it, but... it still worried her a little bit.

Jack let the last few balls fly from the pitching machine, watching as Crystal dodged them with ease at this point. The bigger ones would give her some issues, she knew, but until then, they would be taking a nice little break. She stretched out and turned off the machine and patted Crystal on the side, the Equillion winced a little as she did so, but she told her she would bathe her and give her a little bit of healing whenever they got home to the Kennel, and the woman smiled. They were done for now, but they had a lot of work ahead of them if they were going to get this done, she was sure that things were going to be alright in the long run. All she had ot do was keep training and hope that it was going to be alright in the same time. What was going to happen?

Name: Crystal Gender: Female Age: Old Species: Equillion StatsLevel: 20 Loyalty: 23 Stamina: 5 Strength: 4 Resistance: 3 Dexterity: 6 Mentality: 7 Special Abilities: Cold Immunity, Light Immunity, Fly, Fire Resistance, Hardy, Danger Sense Moves: Hidden Mist, Winter Gust, Cure, Breath of Winter, Grace, Breathe Fire Jack sighed after they finished checking in and headed to her area of the Gym. She was crazy, bringing a tournament entry to the Gym for a second time, and she had a feeling she might do it again. A groan escaped her as she looked around, she hadn't cleaned up the balls last time, so she needed to now. Slowly going around and picking them up, she put them back into the basket of the pitching machine and stretched out her back a little as she cleaned up, Crystal following around behind her like a puppy, her hooves clicking on the wooden floor. Giving a little frown, she wished this was going to be easier than last time, but she had a feeling they weren't going to be at this point, which was definitely an issue. Oh well, it didn't really matter, they would get this done and then head back out for more last minute training. [1/15 Jack: 1/10 Crystal: 20 1/5; 23 1/5]

She slowly finished up and stretched out her shoulders too before having Crystal stretch out her legs and wings a little bit, she didn't want her to hurt herself or anything, that would just be embarrassing she figured. Of course she wasn't going to use the traditional pitching machine this time, Crystal knew how to sense danger and could dodge out of the way of smaller things this time, which was fine by her. Jack chewed on her lip a little and smiled then, as she looked at the other pitching machine, the one that sent the larger dodgeballs toward an animal. Yes, this was the one she was going to use this time, and she figured it would be easier to work with if she was up in the air this time. Crystal wasn't going to like it, but it was going to be best for her, she was probably going to be in the air quite often after all.

Setting up the new pitching machine, the woman pushed her hair back before having the Pure start to fly and then switched it on. Immediately the machine spat a ball toward the Equillion, who flew out of the way with ease. It wouldn't be so easy the whole time, because the woman slowly bumped it up without her noticing, the speed increasing drastically. Crystal whinnied out of alarm when ball after ball came at her and it was getting difficult to dodge out of the way of them at this point. She would get better though, or she would be hit and hurt a little bit, and that was good enough to work with for now, she supposed. She knew why they were here, of course, and that was fine by her, she needed to speed up a little if she was going to be a presence in the Pit after all.

It was easy to watch Crystal dodge the large balls flying at her at this point, but Jack knew they were going to have to put in quite the effort into this whole thing if they were going to do anything for her at this point. She had already gotten a little speedier than most other Equillion, though she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing at this point. Things would work out though, she knew, and she hoped that all would be well when it was all said and done. Jack pushed her hair back as she watched Crystal fly out of the way of a pair of balls and then dive down to miss another one immediately afterwards. She was getting tired already it would seem, but she needed to push her a little if she was going to get any better, and that was the point of the Gym wasn't it?
