Who: Milla, Darling & Irma
What: Something about you have to take Dojo classes or something something (she wasn't paying much attnetion). Milla hasn't slept yet and decided since she was awake to go to a Morning class.
When: Before Sunrise
Where: The Sheercliff Dojo.

Sheercliff was eerie in the morning. Sitting outside listening to the waves, Milla was more than surprised when people started pouring out of their homes and started climbing up the cliff. She hadn't been awake this early in the town and was a little nervous when it started. There were soft bells coming from the cliff's top. She stopped a man and his Machoke asking them where they were headed, "Morning classes." and he quickly started to climb a Rope ladder. Darling and Milla looked at each other and followed in suite. Why not?

When she arrived there was a slew of people and their Pokemon. It looked like almost the entire town had turned out for the class. They were all standing outside in uniforms with various colored belts tied around their wasit. A woman stopped Milla and handed her and Darling a uniform. They both shrugged and quickly changed. Looking around there seemed to be just as many confused trainers as her, those that had braved the early morning in uniforms, easy to pick out because they were all wearing white belts like Milla and Darling.

Milla had an overwhelming sense of both excitement and nervousness. It looked like there was still a little while before class, so Milla let out Irma, who climbed up on her shoulders and looked around. Excited to see all the fighting Pokemon around.

For Saori, waking up early was never a problem since it was part of helping out with the family business. As soon as she heard about the conditions for challenging the gym leader, she knew she had to get to work. After her last gym battle, she realized how unprepared she was since she barely squeaked by getting the badge.

Saori arrived then, and thought she saw someone familiar. She made her way to Milla, until she spotted Irma. At some point, she really had to get over her fear of pink pokemon. Taking a deep breath, she came in closer. "Morning, Milla."

Milla turned around and practically tackled Saori, "Good Evening! I haven't gone to bed yet, darling." she pulled back smiling. Irma laughed and clapped, "Medi!"

"When I saw all the people I couldn't help but come up here. I assumed there was a party." she put her hands on her hips and Darling scooted up next to her, waving at Saori, "Have you been coming to these classes?"

Saori gave her a 'Girl, are you crazy?' look. She's done allnighters before, but to come to these classes without sleep was a little risky. The teachers didn't look upon students who fell asleep.

"I have been ever since I came here. When I called my brother up to tell him I was at Sheercliff...he started laughing and wished me good luck. Apparently you have to take the classes here for the gym leader to even consider you worthy of a battle."

Milla gasped, "Oh my, do we?" she looked over at Darling who was just as concerned as she was, "To be able to even challenge him? But I cannot stay up this late every night." She shook her head and shrugged, "Ah well!"

Darling imitated her shrugging along with Irma. The three simply laughed and Milla looked around, "So what do we do here? I know it Karate but...how do the classes usually go?"

Saori could only wish she had Milla's easy going manner. "Well, there's warm ups, like running laps and stretches and then it's tough from there. Sparring, practicing moves, obstacle courses."

"Oh goodness! Sounds like exciting, no?" she looked over at Darling who was starting to warm up with Irma, stretches and running in place. Milla laughed, "They are so enthusiastic. I love it. I hope my skills in dancing could be useful!" she swung her hips to one side, Irma and Darling mimicking.

"Have you been having fun here Saori?" Still swinging her hips back and forth, the two Pokemon in the background still copying her movements.

She gave a nod, giggling when Darling and Irma started to imitate their trainer. "I never really did anything like this before, so it's quite interesting. Though I feel like I should be training my team more. Barely won my last badge, you know." Only two of pokemon had a type advantage, but even then Saori knew that wouldn't be enough to defeat a gym leader.

"I am not worried at all!" She laughed, spinning a bit. Her pokemon followed, and it seemed like a few people noticed that Milla was being a little...odd. But of course Milla was not worried. All of her Pokemon had a type advantage over this gym. She was, honestly, ready to fight the gym leader now.

"I'm sure you will do fine Saori, darling. You just need to practice with your team! I'm sure that you can do it." she had a lot of faith in Saori's ability. Milla considered her probably her closest friend on this journey and she wanted to see Saori grow just as much as she had.

Saori began to wish she had Milla's confidence. "I wouldn't be either if I had a better type advantage. Tonbo and Michiko maybe part flying, but they're short on flying type moves." Not to mention, had the worst disadvantage against fighting types.

At this point, the Yanma popped out his pokeball and landed on Saori's head. He chattered something, possibly trying to reassure his trainer they'd win.

She reached up to give Yanma a pat on the head. "Thanks you guys. I'll do some team training after lunch then." At this point, the instructor came out and got the class started on warm ups.

Milla nodded and paid close attention. Everyone gathered in tight lines, giving each other enough space. Darling shuffled Irma between her and Milla. Irma seemed more then excited for the class. Luckily she had enough room to see the insructor and his Hitmonchan take the platform.

They started out with basic warm ups. The entire cliff top was covered in people. Because of the influx of trainers, more space was cleared to allow them all to fit. There were trainers everywhere. Various pokemon all warming up and stretching. A gastly further down seemed a little out of place, but his trainer seemed determined.

Darling was having issues stretching, but Irma and Milla were able to keep up with the trainer as he went. Milla shot Saori a wink and she flipped down into a full split, "Dancing, darling. Years of study. Who knew it would be so handy?"

Saori's jaw dropped when Milla went for the full split. "T-that's amazing. I can see why. Sadly, I'm not much of a dancer." Even Tonbo buzzed around Milla in fascination until a neighboring pidgey clucked at him for not focusing.

"Tonbo, don't even think about it," she warned the yanma, already figuring out what was on his mind. She didn't need to be a psychic to know that he wanted to go after the bird pokemon to make it shut up. Tonbo just gave her look at first, but then obeyed.

Milla went back to stretching, giving Saori a simple nod as a means of thanks. It seemed that everyone else around them were usual's to the dojo classes and were getting a little upset at their conversation. Darling was having difficulty keeping up, but Irma was having a fantastic time. She was doing one handed handstands and back flips with a sense of ease. Milla enjoyed watching her, but was trying to focus on what the instructor was showing them up on the large podium.

Darling was getting a little confused on of the blocking combination the instructor was demonstrating and backed up too far, "Jy-!" she tripped almost completely on top of a Makey who let out a fairly loud Screech, "Hey! Maybe you should keep your Psychic type pokemon out of her and let the rest of us focus on fighting moves!" obvious old rooted prejudice against psychic types.

Milla turned quickly and walked straight up to the man, "I apologize, it was an accident, but I'd appreciate it if you kept your silly ideals to yourself." she helped Jynx off and looked over at Saori.

Saori noticed the nearby students glaring at them for disrupting the class with their conversation. She glanced at the Meditite from time to time. Even though it was pink, she knew Irma wouldn't hurt her unlike those Whismurs back in her childhood. Maybe pink pokemon weren't so bad after all.

She could sense the tension picking up when some of the local students began to vocalize their prejudice as well. Well, looks like someone has to play peacemaker and Saori was up. "Hey guys, she apologized, so let it go. Besides, she has a fighting type here who wants to train," referring to Irma. "Let's not disrupt the class anymore."
