Okay, okay, so he'd admit it; he was pretty impressed with the new facilities. He'd had a quick look during the 48 hours of free time to settle in they'd been given but now - back in uniform, back at work and actually looking to use them - Aulus was forced to concede that the training space was more than acceptable.
It was a large white-walled room, huge in fact! You'd struggle to get a Wailord in here but just about anything else? Easy.
After a few moments of thought he didn't lock the door behind him, if anyone else showed up he could train against them rather than just pitting his team against one another. Shrugging to himself - either way would be fine - Aulus grabbed five of the six pokeballs off his belt and released their occupants; a Rapidash, a Charizard, an Absol, a Spinarak, and a Sylveon.
"Alright, training time you lot," Aulus said with a nod. "Warm up with your laps, I know this is a new space but you can figure it out."
With varying nods the group of pokemon did so; the Rapidash took off around the edge of the room at a swift gait, the Absol took a smaller lap, Charizard and Sylveon smaller again, and finally the tiny Spinarak started scuttling in circles around his trainer's feet.

Woah! Abruptly; person! Phaethon skittered sideways with a snort, his flames flaring up with surprise and mild alarm. On determining that he hadn't squashed her and that she was not dangerous however he relaxed and clopped over to the strange human and her companion. he asked of the Wigglytuff, lower his head to be on eye level with her.
Aulus was startled too, he'd been focused on watching his pokemon and the first he knew of somebody else coming in was Phaeth's snort and the girl's squeak of surprise. Aulus' startlement however manifested in him spinning around already in a defensive posture, heart hammering and read to-
Oh.
The scarred Agent scowled, straightened up and folded his arms across his chest. "Don't they train you how to bloody well knock in basic?" he asked more than a little snappishly, forgetting the fact that he'd left the door unlocked; when Aulus was startled and subsequently mildly embarrassed everything was absolutely everybody else's fault. Still scowling he gave the grunt and her pokemon a better look over, dark red eyes critical and judgemental.
"Why is your Wigglytuff wearing a sheet? If that's supposed to be a toga it's a damn sad attempt, and the annual Halloween party isn't for months." Still... he had left the door open for a reason. "Alright though," he gave a sharp nod, "you can train with me if you want to. What's your name Grunt?"

Oooooh boy. Aulus sighed and shook his head. "Are you serious?... That was a rhetorical question, don't answer." Right then, seemed like he'd found himself a project. Helping people to improve their skills was part of being a responsible Agent, right? Responsible Agents were more likely to get promoted.... "Alright," he gave a decisive nod, "name's Aulus. Rapidash is Phaeth, Charizard is Char, Absol is Tortie, Spinarak is Paul, and Sylveon is Killer. I don't expect you to remember them all, species name will do.
"So let's make a start shall we? How long have you had Sissy, and do you have any other pokemon?"
Phaethon wuffled softly, watching the pink pokemon's bid for freedom with interest. Not that he would ever incite mischief, not him! Totally innocent of all crimes forever.
said Char with disapproval as he lumbered past; Charizards were not really designed for running.

Errrr.... Okay this was this bit where he pretended he knew what he was doing, right? Right.
Allowing his arms to drop loosely by his sides Aulus walked over to Tortie, raising one hand to rest on her shoulders. "The first thing you need, or at least your first important goal is mutual trust and respect with your team. If they don't respect you they won't listen in the first place and if they don't trust you they won't stick with you when the going gets tough. How to get there though is... more difficult, not denying that, and it's different with every pokemon. It's easiest to do with pokemon you hatch yourself, they're a blank slate if you will; you teach them everything, and you're in control of the experiences they have. The two you have," Aulus gestured lightly at the two normal types, "have probably come from very different backgrounds that will have given them different attitude quite apart from their innate personalities. Were you told whether they're clones, or if they were stolen?"
While the humans talked Phaeth figured he might as well too - they hadn't been told to go back to laps after all - and clopped over to Munchy and Sissy. he asked with interest; since being reunited with his trainer and coming here it seemed like every pokemon had a different story to tell, some of them not very nice but... well that was life, wasn't it? When you were dealt a bad blow you just had to try to deal with it and carry on, looking for a way to make tomorrow better.

Aulus shrugged; "That's the norm around here, there isn't the time to hatch every single pokemon everyone needs fresh and then wait for it to be old enough to use in battle. It doesn't really matter where they came from... I don't think it'll change anything about training that much but it might help you to understand Sissy better. What you've said about Muchy makes sense though; Char was a steal of mine and he was quite low level, I suspect he'd only just evolved to Charmeleon back then." Okay so.... So now what? Ugh, crap, he wished he had some time to prepare rather than trying to just do this off the cuff!
"Right," scowling again Aulus combed his fingers back through his hair, "so.... Why don't we start with the easier one? If Munchy will listen to you at least a bit already, and you treat him well for it, perhaps Sissy will feel a little more open to you." With this said Aulus turned to look at the pair of normal types, who seemed to be making friends with Phaeth. Well that was... a start? He wasn't honestly sure.
That didn't sound good. Phaeth gave a nod to Sissy, serious and sympathetic. very I suppose but a bit. Aulus hatched me when he was quite young, and we were together until a few years ago; somebody attacked him and stole me, and I was stuck with him for years. He wasn't nice.> Not nice at all. But he had, and they were not going to get split up again. the Rapidash concluded with a smile to Sissy and Munchy.

"You can call me Agent or Agent Aulus, Grunt. I'm not here to be your buddy, I'm here because apparently basic training isn't doing it's job," Aulus replied, his never especially stable patience fraying a bit at the familiar term of address; sure he hadn't told her not to use his name, but exactly zero damns were given about that. She should know better than to get pally with a superior within two minutes.
"Anyway," he continued, scowling deeper than ever, "we are Team Rocket. Did you miss that memo? Team. Sodding. Rocket. We're not Team Fluffy Cuties. We're not Team the Power of Friendship. Team Rocket. Being nice is going to get you nowhere and frankly is going to do them no favours. You should be kind, yes, but don't be bloody 'nice' and coddling. They're going to have to fight and so are you, you all may as well get used to it."
Bloody hell what had he signed himself up for?
"If we're got that clear, you can start just by having Munchy demonstrate his attacks on...." Humm. "Char." Char would behave himself and not bite back like Killer would, or resent being used as a punching bag like Tortie would.
Phaeth murmured to Munchy and Sissy, Most was a good word to be able to use, he was glad Aulus had at least a couple of friends amongst his own kind now.
