Pokémon Reburst: Songs of the People RP

It would take a few more minutes of travel. At least ten and at most twenty, but eventually, after a long and winding maze of twists and turns, they'd make it to a surprisingly impressive shack in a small clearing. It was easily the side of some middle class houses, and considering most of the teenagers here grew up in poverty, it was more lavish than possibly some of their own houses.

"Here we our. Home sweet home." Haruto said with a chuckle. "Made by our own hands. The old man should be inside right now."

"I mean it's not like he goes anywhere else."
 
"It's certainly more impressive than I expected," Diogo admitted, his Archen remaining silent as he stood by him.
 
In the meantime, Riolu look strangely excited for awhile now, with a determined gaze in it eyes.

"Well, you sure are interested in that Burst technique, isn't it?"

Riolu nodded with me, in excitement.

"...Yiup, then there is only one way we could have a hope to achieve that now. First, we need to return to their's base though."

Looking back at him seriously, I decided what I need to do.
 
"Well, not like we'll get anywhere standing out here," Kaedae said with a smile as she gestured for the kids to follow her. "The old man's inside. I'm sure he'd love to meet you people. Just follow me."

After being led inside, they'd find what seemed to be some sort of simple training room, with four blue mats in the four corners of the room, along with some equipment like punching bags and targets and other things of that nature.
 
In a flash, Riolu have already came to one of the punching bag, looking excitely at it for awhile, before having a few punch at it.

Since it's look like he was having fun, I leave it alone, and watch over it.
 
Yanma started buzzing a lot "You wanna attack those targets? Alright just leave something for everyone else." With that Yanma began its target practice.
 
Unfortunately, it appeared as if no one had noticed that one member of their little gang hadn't joined with the others. Thomas was still at the edge of the woods, just outside of the shack, on his hands and knees while looking down into a large, hollow log.

"Yapper, please. You need to come out. Everyone's already gone ahead." A soft cry of "Pop, Popplio," could be heard inside, and Thomas sighed. "Look, there's not gonna be anyone in there that'll hurt you like before, and no one's going to mock you either. You need to have a little faith that everything will be okay. I know you don't have the Pokeball to hide in, but really, now isn't a great time for this. So, will you please come out?"

Silence.

Thomas sighed again, then shrugged, and flipped himself over to lay his head against the log that Yapper was hiding in. "Well, if you're not coming out, then I ain't going in." Thomas shifted his weight to a more comfortable position, and breathed in and out deeply as he took in the fresh forest air, wondering if the others were getting along fine with whatever they were doing in the shack in front of him.
 
In the shack, after all the excitement over some training equipment subsided, a dark skinned old man with a cane and a scraggly white beard stepped into the room and he smiled. "Oh, who are these people?"

Kaedae glanced at the old man and smiled. "These are just some kids that we saved, that's all."

"Oh, but that's not all of them, is it?" The old man asked with a grin that lacked a couple teeth. "There's still one among you that haven't come in."

Kaedae blinked and looked back at the kids. She did a quick head count and her eyes widened. "Crap. I didn't-uh. I'll go back and-"

"No, no need. I'll go get him." The old man hobbled our the door and was gone within the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, Kaedae frowned and glanced back to the kids. "Well, alright. I'm going to go get these burst hearts. You kids stay here and, uh...have fun." She walked off

Meanwhile, with Thomas, there was a sudden old man standing next to him, with a tilted head. "What seems to be the problem, young man?"
 
Diogo remained silent as he leaned against a wall, his Archen sitting down beside him as they both watched everyone else quietly.
 
"Welp, she said "Have Fun", so I will do that then."

Seeing that Riolu's punch increase in intensity, I came over and help holding the punching bag in place, letting him punch it more frequently and firmly
 
Thomas, who was in the middle of drifting off into a daydream, jumped at the sound of the old man talking next to him, nearly screaming, "Dear Arceus!" After a second or two, he looked up at the man standing over him, surprised that he didn't hear him coming. "Oh, geez, I'm sorry for the outburst." Pushing himself onto his feet, he glanced down at the log. "Well, um, sir, it's my Popplio. He's just a bit shy, and-"

Thomas cut himself off and he shook his head. "No, that's what I normally tell everyone. See, he's scared of most people aside from me. He's actually a Shiny Pokemon, and considering starter Pokemon are already considered rare, well, he was valuable to a lot of people. I think he ended up with someone really abusive and they hurt him bad. I was given him because he was seen as defective, and I worked for a long time to get him to trust me. But, without his Pokeball to hide in, I'm afraid he won't come out, so I stayed out here with him."

Thomas wasn't sure why he was telling this old guy all of this. There was just something about him that really made him seem trustworthy for some reason. Plus, considering he wasn't able to tell anyone about this for about 8 years, it seemed a relief to him to finally get this off his chest.
 
"Quick Attack!"

Using Quick Attack, Riolu increase the speed and frequency of the attack dramatically.

"While using Quick Attack, used Force Palm!"

Taking advantage of the momentum of Quick Attack, Riolu used Force Palm in-between the move, dramatically increasing the strength of the blow. The frequency of Force Palm increase, until he dealt Force Palm as the speed of Quick Attack. As the attack mercilessly fall onto the punchbag, I found myself barely bracing.

"Now used Force Feet, while keeping the intensity!"

Now, using Force Palm with it leg and feet, it now then mixing leg move into the mix, increasing the strength by another level. After only a couple of blow, I finally can't brace it anymore, and get pushed back along with the punching bag, breaking it holding chain.

"Good job, Riolu! Now take a break."

Hearing such, Riolu then sit down, breathing abit heavily. As the same time, I lay the bag to the side, and also laid down.
 
"Oh, is that so?" The old man asked with a tilt of his head. "If you want to, I can give you something else for your little pokemon to hide in. A burst heart works just as efficiently as a pokeball, if you ask me. Take it from me, I've seen my fair share of shy pokemon. I have whole worlds of experience with different kinds of pokemon."

((I'll post in the other group a little while later)
 
After resting for awhile, I came closer to Riolu, and sit beside it. Seeing such, Riolu is also sitting down.

"Okay, does this relief you off the stress you felt earlier today?"

Riolu nodded, feeling much more relaxed.

"Then we will start with the usual meditation..."Aura Sphere"."

Riolu then enter a meditative state and close his eyes, with a steady breathing, while holding his hand in the middle of his chest. Soon enough, a small blue ball of energy appear between his palm, spinning calmly.

"Okay, just like practice..."

Hearing such, Riolu concentrate, and slowly shrink the ball size, concentrating it energy...
 
Thomas smiled. "If you can, I think that'd be swell." Thomas then stuck his head near the entrance of the log. "What do you think, Yapper? Does that sound good for you?"

Several seconds went by with nothing being heard, until the sound of movement came from within the log, and a long nose poked out of the hole. Yapper soon showed his face, and after a quick nervous glance at the old man, nodded at Thomas. His grin widening, Thomas turned back and said, "Look's like Yapper's up for it as well. Okay then, sign us up!"
 
Meanwhile, with Thomas and the old man, the senior would smile and reach into a pocket. He pulled out a palm-sized gem and offered it to Thomas. "It works very similar to a pokeball. Just hold it out to your little friend and if he's comfortable with it, it should work fine."
 
Purple sets Happiny down. "Alright Happiny, use Metronome on that punching bag!" Purple says. "Hap-pinyyy!" Happiny uses Metronome.
 
Happiny uses Energy Ball, the punching bag gets oof'd. "Ha, nice~." Purple hugs Happing again. Happing squeals in delight.
 
Thomas took the stone from the old man's hand, and held it down in front of his Popplio's nose. Yapper slowly crawled out of the hole, soon revealing a long white mark going alongside its back, a large scar from many years ago. Looking up and down between his Trainer and the stone, it finally bumped its nose against the stone, putting his trust in his Trainer.
 
There was a great flash of light as the gem seemed to open somewhat, and the Popplio would be turned into a beam of light and would be shot into the burst heart, and a stomp it closed, a miniature version of the Popplio could be seen within the gem.

"And there you have it. You can keep it close to you, see how your pokemon is doing, and even go inside the gem when need be." He smiled. "Now, I believe your friends are waiting for you. Shall we go?"
 
Thomas stared into the crystal, seeing the tiny version of his Popplio inside. This would definitely be different than anything he's done before. Clenching it in his fist, he nodded and got to his feet to follow the old man inside.
 
Smaller and smaller, the ball shrink, until it's getting smaller than a ping pong ball.

"Okay, hold it in this state for about a minute and a half. 1,2,3..."

I then began counting, keeping the time in which he need to hold the sphere.
 
It didn't take long for Thomas and the old man to get back to the shack. It took about a minute or so. Once they were back, however, Kaedae entered the room alongside Haruto. They were back in their burst forms and they all held burst hearts.

"Alright, everyone. Gather on up," she said in a harsh tone. "Get your burst hearts here. We're going to be doing some basics. But everyone's gotta grab a heart and get your pokemon in it."

"It won't take that long, don't worry."
 
"So this is how they look like." Nicholas wondered for a moment before approaching them and taking a burst heart. Porygon floated next to the burst heart as Nicholas held it out next to it.
 
Wrapping up the training for now, I let Riolu relax, and disperse the sphere. After that, I grabbed a burst heart and show it to him.

"Do you think you could get in there?"

I held it next to him, as he touched it with his hand.
