"Like I said," Agumaru assures Bloom, "Not your fault! I don't know why people say these things about me, but the rumors have spread faster than I'd expect." He flashes the plant digimon a big blocky grin to show that he's over his earlier temper tantrum.
Upon being asked about starting up more training, Agumaru starts spinning his arms while hopping from leg to leg. "Hm. I seem to be able to move right, again. Nothing hurt, energy back... sure, why not? We can train together! What kinda training are you looking for? Strength, speed, endurance, agility... there's tons of ways to train!" His enthusiasm for training is back to normal.
Agumaru then glances in the direction the two were looking in, spying familiar faces. "Hey! It's me, Agumaru! Good to see you two again!" He waves them down frantically and energetically. "Are you here to train as well? Doubt I need to help you train, but you can still join us if you want!"

Hearing familiar voices, Adrian and Shoutmon turn to the direction that they were coming from. There, they spotted Miyu Feng, her partner Bloom, and Agumaru, the ToyAgumon (who thinks he's an Agumon. Adrian and Shoutmon never questioned it.) After seeing them, Adrian smiles and waves at them while Shoutmon jumped for joy, which was kind of his way of waving at them. The Tamer and Digimon then run up to their friends.
"Hey Miyu!" Adrian says, greeting the Tamer with a wave and a smile. "Wasn't expecting to see you here! How have you been?"
"Hey, what's up, Agumaru?" Shoutmon happily greeted his Digimon companion. "I bet you'd be a great help in our training!"

Miyu laughed at how excited was the little dinosaur to start training again, Bloom in the other hand anyone could see a visible and comical giant sweatdrop while listening to Agumaru, she looked at Adrian and Shoutmon that just entered the training room, they seemed to know Agumaru as well.
"Well I decided to take a break of the whole near death experience that we had this morning, Bloom sugested this was a nice place to rest without being killed and also it would be nice to see other digimon training" Said it casually like the near death experience was just a normal friday night for her.
Meanwhile Bloom was thinking on what kind of training she wanted to do, she didn't really knew much about the training grounds, speed and agility sounde the same for her and she already test her endurance way earlier in the ruins, and what happen in the jungle still resonated in her head so she decided to go with strength.
"Strength it is! I want to be more stronger so I can protect Miyu!

Agumaru was pumped to start training, especially with his old and new friends! It helped that Shoutmon saw him as beneficial to their training. "Well, I guess it is settled then! Break time is over, time to get stronger!"
Miyu and Bloom have had near-death experiences? It sounded like many, from how calm she was describing it. "Sounds like you two are survivors," he praises, "I'm sure that training will be a walk in the park by comparison! But... are you okay? Ya wanna talk about it?"
So, strength training it is, then? "Hm... well... there's a few things we can do. I've been doing the log break-" he points to a pile of splintered wood alongside large logs - "but we might want to start a bit slower for you. Er... no offense, it just sounded like you wanted a bit of a break - no pun intended!" He then gestures towards a small area with various training stations. "There's punching bags of different weights, there's a thing where you push a log through a wall - well, there's a hole in the wall, it is mainly the weight of the log that is the issue - there's a weighted sled you can pull along a track, aaand of course there's the giant dominos."

Adrian chucked. "Yeah, that was... not a lot of fun. Neither was the constant yelling of Shoutmon after that incident. Believe it or not, I promised him four dinners just to get him to forgive me."
Shoutmon laughed too. "Yeah, you wouldn't believe how much food I'm able to eat!"
"I swear to god, his stomach is just a black hole that can't be satisfied.
"You're not far off, Adrian," Shoutmon confirmed before laughing even more. He listened to Agumaru's suggestions on training exercises, none of which seemed to intrigue him... until he said giant dominoes.
"Ooh! I suggest the giant dominoes!!" Shoutmon cheers. "That sounds like the most fun! Even though I really have no idea what to do with them, they're dominoes!"
"Huh. I'd have guessed that the punching bags would be more your thing, Shoutmon."
"Nope. Dominoes."

"I'll be fine! Said Bloom when Agumaru said that she wanted a bit of a break, the little plant walked to the punching bag. "How hard could it be?"
Bloom make some space between her and the bag, then ran towards it and push it with all her strength, the punch bag fall back and then came back forward hitting Bloom and pushing her to the ground, Miyu couldn't hold her laughter it was a really funny scene.
"Ow... What are YOU laughing at!" Said the little plant bulshing in embarrasment
"You're suppose to punch the bag" Miyu throw some punches at the air making an example. "Not push it!" She laughed again.
"Well tell me then, how do I make a fist with THIS!" Bloom showed her vine like claws.
Certainly it seemed imposible to make a fist with claws and no fingers, besides even if she could how strong would she punch anyway? She's a plant a really softy plant.

Agumaru chuckles softly at the conversation about food. "A healthy appetite is important. You gotta get energy from somewhere, right? Especially before and after big fights, and if you are going to train hard after such a fight!" He then shows Adrian and Shoutmon over to the 'dominos'. And dominos they were... just really... really big ones. A row of three stone dominos was next to a row of five slightly bigger ones, then rows of even larger ones, seven in a row and nine in a row. They were on tracks that would reset the dominos once knocked over, which seems to be the point of this exercise.
"I'm sure you can figure out what to do," Agumaru tells Shoutmon. "You hit the first domino, and if you hit it hard enough, it will knock over the next one, and if you hit it reaaaallly hard, it will do a chain reaction! These are the basic ones. I'd start with the small set of three. Though if you master these - which I don't want to discourage you, but the nine in a row set will have to wait until Champion level most likely - then there's a full domino rally set in another area I could show you some time."
He then goes to help out Miyu and Bloom. He watches Bloom attempt to use the punching bag, only to see her knocked over. Unlike Miyu, however, he doesn't seem to even twitch a face muscle - though he doesn't have any anyways. Instead, he seems downright serious. "Hm. If you are going to be pushing things, perhaps you should try the log push. Otherwise... what attacks do you have?" He walks around the plant Digimon, examining her closely. "Your plant-ness actually isn't a problem. It actually could be beneficial for defense, but as for attack... you just gotta learn how to strike hard through your willpower, mind over matter! And if you're worried about breaking the bag... don't be. These are made for heavy training."

As Agumaru was explaining how having a good appetite was a good thing, Adrian was looking over at Bloom attempt to punch the punching bag... key word at "attempt." Adrian couldn't help but laugh.
"I wonder who's winning that fight over there!" Adrian calls out to them, still laughing.
"Nice going, Bloom!" Shoutmon said, laughing as well. "That punching bag sure showed you who's boss! Haha!"
After they were done laughing at Bloom's misfortune, Shoutmon walked up to the standing dominoes. "Watch me knock them all down!" Shoutmon boasts. He summons his mic and hits the first domino with all of his might. At first, nothing happened.
Then the domino fell in the opposite direction.
"AAAAAUUUUGH!!!!" Shoutmon screamed as he ran away from the falling domino, not wanting to become a Flatmon himself. "WHY MEEEE?!"
"Wow... talk about instant karma," Adrian muttered, before breaking out into another fit of laughter.

Bloom appreciated Agumaru's advice, it seems that the little toy dragon was the only one that didn't make fun of her seeing as Adrian and Shoutmon laugh at her even more than Miyu, that meant revenge, one thing is that your tamer made fun of you, a whole different was a pair that they barely now from the morning, no you just don't mock this little plant and get away with it, it may not seem like it but she has her pride too.
"I can give you a demonstration of my attacks, wait here and pay attention" Said Bloom to Agumaru and walked towards Shoutmon.
Karma strike Shoutmon by making the domino almost fall on him, keyword being almost, and while Bloom felt good that he fail misserably just like her she still wanted payback.
"Nice try Shoutmon, it's a shame you didn't make it, keep trying!" She show a big smile trying to not reveal her mean intentions to the musician, and when Shoutmon least expected from the flower on her head Bloom spray a small cloud of yellowish spores paralyzing the poor dragon. "Do NOT make fun of my again." She smiled warmly leaving the paralyze Shoutmon back.
She walked towards Agumaru and assure to Adrian that Shoutmon will be able to move in a couple of minutes.
"Yeah, basically I can generate spores to paralyz or make my oponents to fall asleep, also my claws carry poison!" Explained to the ToyAgumon.
While Miyu couldn't contain her laughter she did went to Shoutmon and apologize on behalf of her partner.
"I'm really sorry, guess you hurt her a little"

"Woah!" Agumaru was not expecting - or ready - for the domino to topple the wrong way. "Are- are you okay?" He shouts over to Shoutmon, concerned about his safety. "You... you all right over there? I've never seen THAT happen before! Maybe you should start with the lighter ones with the shorter row..."
Bloom then demonstrates her paralysis attack for the ToyAgumon. "Hm... nice, though it probably would've been a good idea to get Shoutmon's permission to use that attack on him. If that managed to paralyze him, I might need to check on him. And you might have a fight on your hands if that failed, and I wouldn't stop him from attacking you." Luckily, Miyu apologizes and checks on Shoutmon, so Agumaru just stands back. "As for the poison claws, can you hit hard with them? If we continue training - which might require an apology from you to Shoutmon - I'd like to see you strike the punching bag with it."

Shoutmon breathed heavily after running away from the rogue Domino. "I can honestly say that I was not expecting that..." he sighed. He then noticed Bloom walking up to him. "Thanks, Bloom. I know I can make myself not look stupid trying to do that..." He then noticed that the flower on her head was releasing spores. However, having fallen for her sleep spores before, he knew what was going on, but decided to have some fun with it. He held in his breath but acted like he became paralyzed instead.
"SHOUTMON!" Adrian yells as he runs up to the "paralyzed" Digimon. However, he was reassured when he saw Shoutmon wink at him, signalling that he was fine. Still feeling a bit mad, Adrian got up and went over to Bloom. "Come on, we were just having a little fun. There was no need to paralyze him!"
However, unbeknownst to Miyu, Bloom and Agumaru, Shoutmon suddenly grabbed Miyu's ankle when she ran up to him and screamed. "RAAAAWWWRRR!!!"

"Apology? For what? He was making fun of me, I can take Miyu laughing at me but no one else, specially some one I barely know from this morning!" Bloom thought from all the ones presents Agumaru would understand what it feels to have your pride crushed a little, she sighed maybe they where right and she over reacted a little.
Miyu was scared when Shoutmon reacted and grabbed her ankle roaring, and like digimon like tamer the chinese girl over reacted and with a loud scream kicked shoutmon in self defense, she inmediately regreted and went to hug Shoutmon.
Oh god I'm sorry! You scared me I wasn't thinking and just... Panic kick you, please forgive me!!!" She was squeezing Shoutmon on her hug begging for the little red dinosaur to forgive her

Agumaru shakes his head slowly at Bloom's lack of acknowledgement of the wrongness of her actions. "I'm really sorry Bloom," he lectures in a slow, calm voice, "but attacking someone physically for attacking your pride does not absolve you of any wrongdoings. I understand how it must feel to be verbally assaulted, but violence is not the correct course in this situation." Quite a turn from his usual demeanor and speech, yet clearly his heart was in it. "Did I attack you when you insulted me? I easily could have, but held back. Take your frustration out on the one that actually attacked you in the first place." He gestures over at the punching bag.
Agumaru was not expecting Shoutmon to suddenly roar into action. Nor was he expecting Miyu's reaction to it. He stands, mouth agape, in stunned silence. He just has to hope everyone gets along after this.

In Shoutmon's head, he was like This is definitely a good idea!
It most certainly wasn't.
After sucessfully pulling off his prank and grabbing Miyu's ankle, he received a kick to the face. Basically, he was struck with instant karma.
"Owww..." Shoutmon groans, rubbing his nose. "That wasn't a good idea..." Then, he received what was probably the most painful hug he ever received in all of his life from Miyu. "I... can't... breathe..." he tried to say, but it sounded very hoarse, as his windpipe was getting crushed by a very strong hug.
"This all went south so fast..." Adrian says as he runs over to Miyu to pull him away from Shoutmon. "Hey, I have an idea! Let's just get back to training and forget this whole stupidness happened! Sound good?"

Bloom let go a simple "Hmph" when the Lego dinosaur lecture her although he was right and she probably would end up apologizing to Shoutmon... Eventually as seeing now that the poor digimon was being squeashed by Miyu she figure it would be for the best to let him be.
She focus on the punching bag, took a deep breath and then charge against it with her claws, while she couldn't punch it with her claws, she still could slash it and stab it, after the first hit conect and the bag fell down and came back Bloom dodge it and strike again, and she kept doing it almost dancing around the punching bag with every strike, she had to get stronger no matter what, she wouldn't let anything hurt Miyu.
Miyu ask for forgiveness one more time to poor Shoutmon and then turn to watch Bloom's training, Palmon had a very determined expresion on her face which filled Miyu's heart with pride, hopefully her hard work would pay off one day.
"YOU CAN DO IT BLOOM!" She cheer for her plant
