[FIN] LESSON ONE!

[Blood_Goddess]

"AH HAH!" A voice boomed suddenly, as a figure took a harsh step forward, and a tall wiry figure leaned into a certain brunette's eyesight.
"And there you are little miss. Just the person I wanted to run into."
The grin that greeted her was as uncomfortably wide as ever, the half lidded consistently tired looking eyes twinkled with some unknown amusement and excitement, Though this time, it really was two eyes, seeing as the long strands of her gray bangs were pinned back in a much more sporty appearance.

And red and white form slithered behind her, pausing when he was close enough to poke his head up over the women and look down at the smaller girl with one half closed green eye.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Sera would have jumped at the voice, but a certain Mismagius had heard the taller woman coming, and had whispered a soft "misss?" in the brunette's ear to alert her. Thus she stopped and, once Ray spoke, turned to give an unsurprised look to Ray. "What is it?" What was she doing here? She had just seen this woman the other day. She needed at least two weeks minimum after seeing this chick before being able to deal with seeing her again.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ray straightened up to her full height again. "Its time for your first lesson. remember? I told you I would find you for it."

How the hell she was managing to find Sera, was something the tall women was neglecting to elaborate on, for whatever odd reason she had.
But, she had, and she seemed very excited about the fact that she was going to be training someone.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

The girl's eyes narrowed and she opened her mouth to argue, but suddenly thought better of it. She had tried to argue with the woman and tried to get out of it during their previous meeting, and that had ended in her being completely unable to. It had been a complete waste of time, so Sera paused, then gave Ray a wary look. "How long's this gonna take?"  

[Blood_Goddess]

"What time is it?" Ray asked, lifting up her phone from her pocket to look at the time. "Hmmm, And hour. an hour today." She said, pointing toward the girl "first few lessons I'm going easy on you, but like I said before, I'll work you into it."
No use in starting will long afternoon training sessions yet, not when the girl and her pokemon were SO out of shape.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Sera made a show of rolling her eyes, but after a dramatic sigh she replied with, "Fiiiine. Where are we going this time?"  

[Blood_Goddess]

"Out of the city, thats for sure. way too many distractions here."
With that Ray lifted a hand and pointed down the street, toward where the city would eventually vanish, and they would be in the training fields once again.
She didn't give any more word then that, as she had already started walking. Double Stripe lingering back to make sure Sera went along.

There were a few trainers out in the field today, but Ray picked a spot that was mosly empty, and giving them enough distance from the others that were practicing.
Should she didn't stop a few curious stares at their work as they passed, silently observing.
"Alright. so, did you learn anything more about your team?" She asked first, stopping to turn around, hands on her hips as she addressed Sera  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Fortunately for Double Stripe, Sera followed Ray without (verbal) complaint, until they finally stopped in the fields. At her question, the girl quirked a brow before answering honestly, "No." It had only been just a couple days - what the hell would she have 'learned' in that time?  

[Blood_Goddess]

"Alright then." Ray replied, without skipping a beat, "The two you're going to want to focus on are going to be your Absol and your Zoroark. For now we're not going to over do it."
Ray glanced down at where the girl had usually kept her pokemon.
"You've got way too many pokemon for someone of your skill to handle right now, if you try and focus on that many its just going to be an ineffective mess." She leaned forward again "Remember, that having a few strong pokemon, it much better then having a bunch of ill trained ones."  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Sera looked rather offended at Ray's perceived insult (despite knowing she had practically no skill in training, but that was completely irrelevant), then huffed and replied, "Whatever." She then pulled the two luxury balls out and released the two Ray had mentioned.

Isabella stood and waited patiently either for orders or for the snake to attack her again like before, while Jacques flopped onto the ground, like before.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ray smiled at the two pokemon when the were let out "Hello you two, how are you doing today?" she asked, addressing the two dark types, and for now leaving Sera to herself.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

The Absol looked more than a little confused at the woman (as did Sera, because what was she doing). Jacques, however, suddenly sprang up, his arms stretched high above his head, and when they descended, a sudden pop and a puff of smoke left in its wake an exact copy of Ray, in the exact same pose with the exact same smirk on her face.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ray's eyes widened in delight at the Zoroarks display, and she let out a bold laugh. "That is AWESOME, man I love the Zors for that. and hey, that's a pretty snazzy form there." She winked at the Zoroark. with a thumbs up.
"alright, all of you." Ray continued, addressing the three of them. "Listen up close, that means you too Sera." Ray snapped her fingers. and shifted her voice to a first, clear to understand volume.
"From now on, the three of your are partners. And as such, the three of you are complete equals. There is no owner, there is no master. There is Sera, Jacques, and Izabella. And each of you have as important of a role at the next. Do you understand?"  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Jacques leaned back with a wide smirk and gave a thumbs-up in return, but at her words, the trio all seemed equally confused. Isabella didn't seem to understand the concept; Sera was her mistress in her mind, and such a fact was undisputed. Jacques, however, flopped backwards (still as a copy of Ray) and appeared to be laughing at such an opportunity. Sera frowned at him, but he ignored her and jumped up to run over and hop onto Ray's back. Clearly if he was an equal, that meant he could get a piggy back ride, right? Right!  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ray smirked at the Zoroark, her eyes on him though she didn't move, or falter her smirk as he hopped over.
As he moved to jump on her though, the women side stepped abruptly, her posture giving no hints as to her movement. Avoiding the Zoroark.
"I however, and your teacher. Therefore, I'm the boss of all three of you."
She pointed toward Sera. "return to your team, Jacques, truuust, me there will be time to play later."
