“Hey come on. This is about improving yourself remember. There’s no need to compare yourself to me.” Koko wanted say something like “there’s no way you can be as great as me,” or something like that. But even he knew that would be a super conceded thing to say.

“Here, if you can’t do it by yourself, I can help you if you want.”

   With the other’s athleticism how can he reframe from comparing themself?He’s literally stuck in a room full of gym stuff while the other has him work out.Hanging around,he looked at them then struggled.Kicking his legs to hoist his body up so he can raise his chin past the bar.    Why was gravity a thing?He hates that his human form of his has him answer to gravity.His pokemon form was always floating,being able to raise himself as high as he wanted with no drawbacks.But now that he’s a condensed gravity abiding human he misses it.

“Please...I am wondering what will happen first.I make it to three or  my arms literally fall off.”

   Atleast he managed to do One so far in his struggle.

melemeleguardian​:

Yup, it looks like Dark was struggling with this exercise. Koko expected as much but he didn’t except Dark to to struggling this much considering how well he did with the free weights. Then again, maybe he was just tired from all the working out.

“Come on, Dark. You can at least do one pull up right?”

“That depends do I need to do just one or are you going to make me do as much as you do?”

   He was just hanging there at this point.All the excercising is taking a toll on him and he rather just hang out then to be thrown in the ringer back to back between excercises,doing weights,etc.

[darkvcid]

melemeleguardian​:

“I don’t know, the school board or something like that?” Really never ask Koko about the specifics of human society unless it deals with war, fitness or the region.

Anyway, after Dark finished Koko was thinking of what they needed to do next.

“Hmm, let’s see. We worked on your abs, your arms, your pecs and your legs, so all that’s left is your back. Okay, let see you do some pull-ups then. This is your final exercise, so make sure you give it all you got.”

And finally just like all those other times, Koko brought Dark to the pull-up rack and began to demonstrate the exercise.

“This is going to be tough Dark, I don’t except you to do too many, but do your best okay?”

“.....”

    Man he really side eyeing the zubat ready to smack them and bolt.But he will reframe from that....Atleast he was almost done.Watching the demonstration he  begrudging walked up and raised his arms to grab the rack.Just get thru this and he will finish...No more exercises....for today atleast.     Hanging there it took a moment.A tiny struggle as he tried to raise himeself.Wait how many was he suppose to do anyways?” 

[darkvcid]

melemeleguardian​:

“Yeah, 80. You know children are required to be able to do 80 sit ups in a row right?” Well, at least that’s the case the last time he checked. Probably changed since last time.

“Yeah, just like that. You’re doing great Dark.” Well, great but not perfect, though it didn’t need to be perfect now. Koko just needed to cheer on Dark so he’ll stop being self-conscious and do his best.

“Required by what exactly?”

   What on earth is required of them to do 80 sit ups?He was getting more confused as they spoke but atleast it was distracting him from worrying about the exercise.Hearing the other cheer him on snap him back to focus.It really was simple now he has the hang of it.This was still alittle weird to him considering his hermit lifestyle of reading books or being depressed on the isle.This whole work out is strange.But he doesn’t say anything about it considering he knows the other will brush it off and will do what they want to him until they are satifised with the results....There goes another mental sigh.

[darkvcid]

melemeleguardian​:

Oh no. It looks like Dark was getting nervous and self-conscious again. Should Koko say something to help? Nah, for some reason Koko thought that if he said anything else it would make Dark even more nervous. For some reason.

Koko just said nothing and held down Dark’s feet to help him do the motion. And well, it looks like that worked as Dark was able to mostly do a proper sit up.

“Yeah, just like that. Now, just do that 80 more times, or when you can’t do them any more. Whichever comes first.”

   Okay he was nervous and the other being quiet didn’t give a good indicator if he was on the right track or not.Once he got up the other finally spoke.Okay so atleast he figured it out..Uh..wow 80 times?..    He laid back down and repeated the process.He can see how this becomes a challenge as the number increases.Can he even make it to 80?The other had faith and he didn’t want to let them down anymore considering the look they gave when he was figuring out how to do one.

“I did.. is that strange?” he asked, a slight tilt to his head. Despite the claim, he happened to be completely dry as well. “I was heading to the Sinnoh mainland..” He’s pretty sure that’s what it’s called now. He sat back a bit, letting himself relax a little more. “I haven’t been back since I was younger.. I figure it’s changed quite a bit since then and I’m eager to see it now.”

   Of course it was strange.And it was stranger how dry the other was which didn’t support their claim.He had a inkingly feeling they weren’t human,which would back up the other’s reason to swim.And why they weren’t questioning his presence here considering what this isle is known for.

“Hm...well this is New Moon Isle,if you head south from here you will eventually reach Canalave City...Where’d you originally come from if I may ask?..” 

[darkvcid]

melemeleguardian​:

“Yeah, that’s the spirit.” Nice. It was good to see that Dark was starting to see things his way. Hopefully this mindset would allow the Darkrai to come out of his shell more, and maybe live a more happy life.

Well, that’s what he thought until Koko saw that Dark wasn’t doing the exercise.

“Uh, is something wrong? Just contract your stomach muscles to raise yourself up. You know, just like when you get out of bed in the morning.” No, were Dark’s stomach muscles so weak that he couldn’t do a single sit up? Ugh, he should have know things were going way too smoothly.

   Honesty he just wanted to lay there for a moment.But back to the task at hand he chuckled.Why was he chuckling?It was out of nervousness.The other’s disproving look makes him anxious to do it properly.Also what bed?He just sleeps in the shadows and just makes his body float up when he rises.    Was he suppose to use his arms to lift up?They meantioned contracting his stomach.Maybe he was thinking about it too hard in the steps.After laying there over thinking things he finally got himself up.Did he do it?Was that a sit up?

“Ehe heh?...”

[darkvcid]

melemeleguardian​:

“Well, as long as there’s light there are plenty of shadows for you to lurk in to broaden your horizons. Just like this place. No one here except for you me, and our Zubat friend.” The Zubat gave a happy screech, glad that he was included.

“But yeah, just things one step at a time. Rome wasn’t built in a day after all.” Speaking off, Koko then took Dark down to the matts and began to demonstrate what he had to do.

“Right, we’re going to do sit ups. So lay flat on your back like this and then you sit up like this. Don’t pull on your neck while you do this by the way.”

“I appreciate it..you as well Zubat.”

    Even if their existence here makes him unable to run.But it’s what the other said,he should broaden his horizons and try to make a change.Be better then he was before and take some steps forward to achieve it...    With alittle motivation goes a long way for the Dark type.He followed them,watching them suddenly lay on the mat to demonstrate this ..sit up.He wordlessly followed  their instruction and laid down on the mat next to them.It seem simple enough..lay and rise to sit up.No pulling on next got it.    Uh..wait.He isn’t moving up oh dear...how do you get from step A to B again?..Is there a trick to get up?..

[darkvcid]

melemeleguardian​:

“Yeah, but I’m not saying that it isn’t fun read. You just have to do more things. I know that your afraid of giving people nightmares and maybe people in general but that mean you have to limit yourself to one thing you like doing. Don’t be afraid to broaden your horizons.”

Koko had no idea if this advice would be useful to Dark, or if he was be patronizing or not. It was just the advice Koko thought Dark needed. Even though Dark never asked for advice in the first place…

“Well, that’s enough of a break. It’s time to work on your abs.”

“What more can I possibility do?People and pokemon alike avoid me as much as I avoid them.If im in this form yes the humans are none the wiser but there’s still that fear of them getting hurt from my ability.....It’s just hard broaden the horizon when im meant to lurk in the shadows.”

   He sighed tossing the empty bottle away and looking at them.Still atleast he managed to get one friend dispite everything...He’s just afraid of the past reoccuring once again.He doesn’t want what had happened to the little girl to happen to someone else.

“Mmm...but It’ll try it your way..a step at a time okay?..So what did do I have to do next?”

[darkvcid]

melemeleguardian​:

“And that’s why you need to train more. I mean what if your friend is being crush by something and your not strong enough to lift it up?” Koko realized that this might cause Dark to develop more anxiety but he wasn’t here to baby him. There were things that Dark needed to here. Heck, if Koko was lucky he could use that flight or fight response to his advantage.

“Hey come on, you can’t just read, you got to be more well rounded. Get some more practical experience or else your life will just be out of balance.” That probably didn’t come out the way Koko wanted, but he still got his point across.

“I mean...you could probably crush it on your own..”

   What friends?He’s a lonely Dark that is either on the isle being a depressing lonely poke or being dragged around like a rag doll to exercise with koko.He fiddled with the empty water bottle.

“Reading is fun though...aside from getting occasional  challenges from visitors...”

melemeleguardian​:

“Okay, will do.” And Koko kept his promise, while also spotting and encouraging Dark to keep lifting. It wasn’t long before Dark had completed the exercise.

Hmmm, yeah this feel like a good time for another 5 minute break, so the diety once again handed Dark a water bottle.

“So, how are you feeling now? Maybe a bit more relaxed? Isn’t it nice to just take your mind off of everything and just focus on lifting? Well, not just focus on lifting but focus on bettering yourself.”

“Any longer and my arms might fall off...”

    Okay with the added weights for each set it finally starts taking a toll on him.He sighed and reached for the water bottle.Moving to sit up he chugged the water and exhaled.

“Bettering myself?I’m just lifting what you say...If I wanted to relax reading at the library usually does it.”

melemeleguardian​:

“Yeah you got the idea!”

Koko followed Dark over to the bench to spot him. Can’t have the bar falling on his neck after all. Although, taking a closer look at Dark’s body, that probably wouldn’t be a problem. Seriously, Dark was just being silly for not wanting to build muscle when he already had a decent amount  of it. At least that’s the logic Koko was operating on.

Oh hey, it looked like Koko’s plan was working. That look of anxiety and terror seem to disappear from Dark’s eyes. Or at least it lessened a bit. Koko knew that a bit of exercise would be good for Dark.

“Well, let just go for the standard 3 sets of 10 reps. Careful though, since I’ll up the weight between sets. So if the weights are too heavy let me know.”

   He’s worn out his spirit to protest against the other and it shows.Focusing on the bar he tried to relax.He’s probably gonna feel all of this the next day.Looking up at the other he started lifting....So they plan to increase the weight on him huh?..Right now its fairly manageable but he hopes they don’t go to overboard in expecting him to go big.

“Okay..just tell me when to stop inbetween.”

[darkvcid]

hearthen​:

“Oh, alright.. I get that, I’m not too good at interacting with others either. Anyways.. it’s a pleasure to meet you.” He sat down where he was, letting out a tired sigh. “I was hoping it would be fine if I stayed. I was swimming and need to rest at least a little before I continued on.. Wasn’t expecting anyone to be on this tiny island.” He rubbed his neck. “Swimming is so exhausting for me.. but I need to get from place to place and I hate boats.. There’s just too much water.”

“You ....swam here???”

   People arrived here by boat sometimes.Or used their flying pokemon or water and ride them to the isle.But this person straight up swam his way here???Man that sounds exhausting just hearing that.

“Where exactly are you trying to go that requires you to be swimming around?”
