[attr="class","spiral"]"Did you miss me?"

It goes without saying that their schedules can't always match up. Being reunited with Kyle brings him hope that conquering the leaderboard will go off without a hitch. Fernando even brings along Gavin, a recent pickup who's shown great promise on their other course.

When they line up at the starting line, his Marill announces its intention to break through the first obstacle with a menacing BELLY DRUM.

"'Lo again, Lopez." He greets Kyle simply because they've been running into each other a lot out here lately; with Razz he is less familiar, but equally cordial, offering a curt nod. Silph had been the one to invite him here, and their pleasantries had already been exchanged.[break][break]

The plan has been laid out, and he and Metagross follow it: the Steel-type PSYCHS UP in response to Marill's reckless charge.

"no," he tells fernando. "hi doctor," he responds in a more lively tone to gavin.

he already has been on multiple runs with him through a race course and the attempts to get into the leader boards just hasn't ended yet. this time wasn't different from the rest where his smeargle uses psych up, however.

Razz is a tad surprised he has joined this again. After the first time around he wasn't sure he wanted to but when the man he met at the speed course came up for more it got Salem exited so here he was. At least it wasn't the shooting range was all he could think giving a silent wave of hello to the others before looking to Dijon. The small fighting pokemon starting up like he always did with BELLY DRUM to get himself pumped up before heading in once more.

[attr="class","spiral"]Damn. Cold world.

Fernando's surprise by the sudden shift in tone but dismisses it nonetheless. His focus needs to be on the task at hand, not whatever curiosities he's picked up from such a small exchange.

And with that, they're off. With an exaggerated bound, his Marill flops right through a stone plate.

They fall back into usual patterns. The course is laid out different each time thanks to the destructive nature of the task and thus there's no relying on memorization for a course like this: it's brute force and luck. Gavin's hands are bruised from earlier runs but it doesn't stop him from throwing himself into the fire alongside his Metagross and giving one of the targets a solid chop. He's getting better at finding the center of the boards, at least, and he hasn't broken anything. Yet.

after the initial setup, it returns back to the same old practice of breaking shit in front of them.

the smeargle continues to beat up a bunch of wooden boards that didn't do anything bad. they just look so punchable and breakable that even a toddler would have the urge to rush in and break them.

thankfully, that's how the game works.

Thankfully like before the first obstacle wasn't too difficult, easy enough for even him to do with the wooden targets. Dijon going through them like paper as they went though. The little fighting type laughing at the insultingly easy board. "Don't get cocky," he told the fighting type who seemed to pout but was willing to go along with it. Last thing they needed right now was for Dijon to get too confident.

[attr="class","spiral"]"Gotcha."

Fernando's exasperated cry matches his hand, greedily wrapping around his Marill in time to catch it after it barrels through another wall. This time they face several dummies and rather than let his Pokemon wind up to break through them, he tosses the Pokemon like a football. Oddly enough, it seems effective, push the Marill further ahead as it breaks through each dummy.

His teammates are on a roll, blasting through target after target. Gavin can only hope to keep up with them as his Metagross continues its steady assault upon the course. It's hard as ever to tell what the Pokemon is thinking. If it's tired, Gavin can't tell.

smeargle smashes through the targets with ease. it's so good at what it does that everything breaks with each single hit of its beat up.

eventually, they manage to break most of it bar just some of them. "finally!" kyle exclaims as he awaits for the inevitable end of the course.

Obstacle one done, now onto the next as hay bales were in the way. Obviously something harder now but still not this course's toughest ones as Razz would run beside Dijon as the two of them worked together to knock them out of their way. Dijon with a couple of Arm Thrust while Razz could mostly just ram them as they continued their way through.

[attr="class","spiral"]"One last push. Team!"

There goes the rally cry for the finish. Only caveat is this is where the hardest obstacles come into play. Last time it was a metal wall thick enough to give several of from trouble. This their target is much higher, requiring them to be tall and strong. That or being able to leap high. Fernando opts for the ladder and throws his Marill after winding it like a bola.

He has to crane his neck to look up at the tallest obstacle they've faced yet. Where Silph chooses to toss his Pokemon over it, Gavin clambers atop his Pokemon and gestures to the top. "Take us up," he commands, and Metagross does so with its MAGNET RISE.

the smeargle proceeds to beat up more boards. as fernando had mentioned, it's one last push. that's enough to get kyle to finally start encouraging his smeargle to do more.
