Calypso nodded.

"Sounds about right," she said. "And if I remember right, your Gloom knows Sunny Day, and your Goldeen knows Rain Dance. Castform can be a huge asset to your team." Already, Calypso was turning over ideas in her head for Castform, but she also wanted to see what Allegra would come up with on her own.

Allegra nodded, looking less apprehensive now. Castform chirped at her, and she smiled.

"Go on and take the rest of the day to get to know your new Castform," Calypso said. "I'm going to work on some more intensive training anyway, so I'll need the battle space."

Allegra nodded and headed off to go let her other two out as well so they could all get accustomed to one another.

"Well, that was cute," Alice murmured, smiling a bit.

"I can't say I'm surprised that Tony just let them have that Castform," Bruce said. "He's more generous than he likes to let on."

"That much I have gathered over the years," Alice agreed. "He's also bossy and generally does not require my presence which is normally fine with me."

"That's surprising, considering how often he has Calypso here to use the training facilities," Bruce said. "I would have thought he'd have brought you here more, as her support staff."

Alice shook her head. "No, she doesn't need me here for training or anything. I go with her to all the events and stuff, somehow." She grinned a bit. "I think Callie may have also warned him off bothering me too much."

"He does definitely respect her, as a skilled trainer if nothing else," Bruce said, nodding. "Her opinion carries a lot of weight with him."

Alice nodded. "As well it should," she agreed. "At least on certain matters. Don't ask her about business stuff, she has a person to take care of all that because she's not great at it." She grinned.

Bruce chuckled.

"I'm not surprised," he said. "I've heard a lot of professional trainers have people like that."

"Most of them do," Alice confirmed. "Most of them have at least two or three support staff. Some have more than that."

Alice nodded. "I'm lucky, Calypso is fairly low-maintenance outside of having to go with her to events," she told Bruce. "Some of the other high-level professional trainers are much more high maintenance."

"I've heard of a few of them," Bruce said, nodding. "I couldn't imagine working with them."

Down in the arena, Calypso was letting out her whole team for training. It was time to start the intensive training to prepare for the season. It would be better if she had a sparring partner, but she could do well enough on her own.

"Neither can I," Alice said, shaking her head a bit. "I've talked to some of their staff, poor people."

Steve had meandered back over to watch for a bit, undeniably curious.

"They must be paid exceptionally well," Bruce said with a bit of a grin.

Calypso was down in the arena with her pokemon. She had paired them up to mock-battle each other, and still had her rainbow stone and z-power cuff on her wrist for if Lucario or Mimikyu wanted to work with their extra skills. Glancing over, she saw Steve watching. She considered him for a moment, and then waved him down.

"Feel up to a spar?" she asked. "We could use a live opponent."

"Oh yes," Alice agreed with a wise nod. "Very, very well. Sometimes that's all that keeps them from quitting."

Steve blinked at the offer. "I can," he agreed cautiously. "I'm, uh, not usually real good at... this kind of battle." He made a motion to the practice ring with a little grimace.

"I'm sure," Bruce said, nodding.

Calypso grinned.

"It's not so terribly different than casual battling," she said. "Since I'm Nationally ranked, the rules I play by are round goes until one pokemon is unable to continue, and extreme skills are only allowed if both parties are capable, or both parties agree the skills are allowed. Extreme skills are essentially mega evolution and Z-powers."
