When she was told about the Training Grounds, Maria didn't think much of it. However, after a bit of chatting on the subject of training Pokemon with Isolde, she'd begun to think it over more. Eventually she found herself here at the Training Grounds with Murder already out of his pokeball and looking up at Maria, his arms crossed and waiting for orders. "Hmmm... Let's see. We could stand to work on your striking a bit more." The Sneasel nodded and began to stretch, taking his time before walking over to a post made for enduring the attacks of Pokemon such as Sneasel or Scyther. "Hone Claws, Murder! Let's make sure we really get in a good blow." The Sneasel snickered, striking it's claws against each other before ceasing a moment later. They now seemed to shine with a sharper edge, looking more deadly than moments before.
"Alright Murder, now use Metal Claw!"
The Sneasel grinned before a more polished shine began to overtake it's claws. They began to turn from a bone white into a silver-y steel, looking all the more deadly than they had even after the Hone Claws. With the transformation completed, Murder launched forward, it's steel claws digging deep into the post with a wicked bite. He ripped them out easily and came around with his other claws, leaving another deep gouge in the training equipment before stepping back. "One more time!" With the order given, he charged forward and the steelclad claws bit into the training post a third time, taking even more out of it than it had with either the first or second strike.
"Alright, good job Murder! Let's use some of the other equipment though before we destroy this one..." The rest of the time was then spent upon a treadmill so that Maria's Sneasel could work on his speed as well as a bit of weight lifting, though Murder had some trouble in keeping his claws properly closed around the weights at first. However, Maria was quite satisfied overall with their day that they had spent at the Training Grounds' gym.
