The admin's steel of excitement clanged against the shield of dull obligation. There was nothing interesting about training - not to man who'd spent his better years being molded by it. It was another hurdle, another obstacle to overcome. Though, in some ways, he could understand the efforts to highlight this achievement; fighting Zapdos would provide a leg up in more ways than one.

And, as it stands, their organization could use all the help it could get.

An arc of scarlet is released from his side, and out from it, came an IRON VALIANT.

"Calibrate to this training," he instructed the piece of machinery before walking up to the Holotech. Several beeps echoed out from the screen, then screens enveloped their surroundings. It turned the emptied training space into an urban city street, littered with cars and trashcans and all else.

With one more press, a loud screech rattled the room.

While a sword honed its cut, a shield fortified what it knew.

"Iron Valiant."

Its name came out in a clash of unrelenting force. No hesitancy bled in the command that followed, nor the obligation that urged the electronic Pokémon to melt into a vibration of dark imagery. Soon, one valiant became two, then three, then four; double team had taken into effect.

In the sky, however, the avian of lightening took no reprieve. Its expansive wings propelled its body forward, AGILITY marking its grand arcs over the urban city scrape. The PSYCHIC projectiles offered little in comparison to its now boosted speed and evasion.

Once freed from the bullets, Zapdos looped back around, eyes beady with the hunger to strike. A THUNDER WAVE exploded out from him and looked to stun all that dared stay within its path.

"Well enough."

The gruff response is snuffed out by the following thunderous attack. A LIGHTENING BOLT pierced the ground, spraying rubble and rock every which way. The iron valiant could do no more than slice at them with a series of LEAF BLADES, turning each piece of rock into ash.

"I use battles like these to calibrate it."
