The sun was high in the sky when the lesson came to an end. Skyler swiftly wiped the sweat that had gathered on her brow, blowing a few stray golden curls away from her face.

Thankful for the oceanic breeze that cooled her skin, the captain sat down, leaning against a nearby rock and taking a much needed break while looking out at the short stretch of beach. Her pokemon were all lounging nearby, although it seemed as if Clarabelle and Miyagi were preparing themselves for a little spar.

In truth, Captain Dross relished the sore muscles, the frantic beating of her heart, the adrenaline that built up until she was kicking her legs out with nary a thought to her well-being. She enjoyed sparring the most; although perfectly aware that any of her pokemon could wipe the floor with her, they'd found a sort of balance, a give and take that challenged Skyler without injuring her - permanently, that is.

"Otis, what are you doing?" The Grapploct's tentacles were dragging something behind her, and Skyler narrowed her eyes when she saw that it was - a log?

Odissea, the Wooper, dragged behind her a similar one - although much, much smaller. An amused snort escaped Skyler's mouth at the determined set of the Wooper's mouth, standing next to Otis before they both sent their logs sailing through the air, hitting the water some ways away. Otis, clearly the winner, sent a smug look down at Odissea, who then chose to spray the Grapploct with some Muddy Water.

Skyler just hoped the Grapploct wouldn't send the Wooper sailing.

Skyler had expected their training to attract some attention from wild pokemon nearby. Sometimes curious pokemon would peer at them from behind the foliage, soon wandering away when their curiosity had been assuaged.

Still, the captain startled at the shadow that fell over her, cutting off the pleasant sunlight that had been warming her skin. When she tilted her head curiously, she'd expected something like a Pelipper or a Tropius; harmless, if annoying pokemon that she'd grown used to in her few travels inland.

She did not expect the rows of serrated teeth that met her horrified gaze, hovering right above her body and dripping gooey saliva around and on her. "Motherfu-"

Skyler scrambled back just in time to miss becoming dinosaur food, the clash of teeth against teeth prompting a string of foul curses from her lips. 

Clarabelle was the first to take notice of the intruder, alerting the others and  DOUBLE KICKing the dragon-like pokemon in the jaw. It the end, and with the others' help, it only took a minute to subdue the Tyrantrum. 

With a subtle 'click', the wild pokemon was captured. At least this way, Skyler thought, it wouldn't endanger anyone else.
