Aulus was on edge, which meant that to the outside world he looked even more displeased with life the universe and everything than he usually did.
It was now less than a week until the mission and he didn't feel ready, but then he doubted he ever would. He had done, was doing everything he could to prepare himself and his team but over the next few days he was going to scale back their schedule a little so that they were rested and ready for action. At least the sleeping pills were helping with that, it was hardly a solution he wanted to rely on long term but for now it meant that he was getting to sleep easily and not waking up in the night.
Today, or this afternoon at least, was the start of ramping things down a little for himself and his pokemon; he was going to meet up with that grunt Kailee and see how much she'd improved in the last month and a bit. Had it really been that long? Time flew when you were on potent analgesics and subsequently getting yourself fit again he supposed.
At the appointed time Aulus descended the stairs to the training floor and headed towards the room he'd booked for them. When he pushed open the door half expecting Kailee not to be there but no, there she was along with Sissy. "You're on time," Aulus observed by way of greeting, eyebrows very slightly raised.
Tortie - who was shadowing her trainer's footsteps - quietly resolved to behave herself rather than messing with the Wigglytuff no matter how tempting it might be; they were coming up to a mission, a serious mission, and she wasn't going to do anything to throw off her human friend's plans.

Nervous? He was ******** terrified, boiling with rage and terrified. To go back there, to that place where-
But how could he not go? If he didn't face it then it would always be there, and he would always remember that he was a damn coward who hadn't been able to go where he was needed. He was a field agent, a damn good field agent, and in the field was where he belonged.
Aulus shrugged, pressing his churning emotions down as best he could and contriving to merely scowl darkly. He did fold his hands behind his back though, it kept him from flexing his fists. "I'm not nervous. Wary, sure, but anyone who's not wary when approaching something like that is a damn idiot. Why, are you?
"And no Munchy?" Aulus asked rhetorically; he could see the absence well enough, he was just hoping that Kailee would think he didn't find the previous topic important given how little attention he'd paid to it. "Well, good to meet you all," he continued to the collection of pokemon. "My name is Aulus, I'll be on the upcoming mission.... Are all of them going?" This was said to Kailee with a raised brow. "If Anura isn't ready don't bring her, you won't do her or us any good." Five new pokemon in the span of about a month was a hell of a lot to deal with anyway, he couldn't help but be concerned about how much training she could have done with them... but six half trained pokemon - if they were obedient - were better than just two half trained pokemon.
"We can do five on five if you like," he continued with a shrug, "I'll even let you pick which one I don't use. Today I have Absol," he touched Tortie's shoulders lightly as he mentioned her, "Charizard, Spinarak, Serperior, Rapidash, and Lugia."

Aulus shrugged and folded his arms across his chest, blood red eyes now trained intently on the battle. "Suit yourself Kailee, just don't start giving rousing speeches about the power of hope in dark times because if you do that I might have to gag you." At least it was obvious that she knew her type match ups, it always surprised him how many people didn't when they first arrived at any rate.
Phaethon squealed as the super effective attack struck him, prancing back a couple of paces before lunging with a powerful Megahorn attack.
"Bonemerang is a useful one," Aulus observed to Kaliee, though he kept watching the battle. "It's not as accurate as it could be but it's great against rock types with the Sturdy ability, if you're powerful enough you can take them out with one attack using that, which you can't do with a single strike attack. Double Kick's another example of that of course, one reason I've never had Phaeth forget it despite it being relatively weak and not benefiting from STAB, plus of course it helps cover his weakness to rock in the first place. When he was my only pokemon that versatility was a big deal, as it was for you when you just had Munchy and Sissy." Pokemon was one subject Aulus could happily talk about until the Miltank came home, got dolled up, went out on the lash, and subsequently staggered back home again.
