^A bigger Lopmon? Hee hee, that would be nice. But I would want it to be longer for a day if that happened.
A nice, big plump Lopmon that Rolento can call Commander Chunk or something...^
He let out a growling chuckle at the thought of a plus sized Crystal meeting Rolento. Afterwards, he continued...
^But I assure you that you will get stronger soon. You already have your armor champion form, so that is progress there.^ Of course, he neglected to mention her actual champion form... she might not appreciate the mention of it.
^Me... if I were to be any digimon for a day... a Bearmon, I guess. They have nice caps, and look pretty cuddly and squeezable.

"Ahh... But you already are pretty cuddly and squeezable." Crystal said, resisting the urge to hug Sanoske right then and there, "If you really want though, we could go out and find a cap for you. It'll also last more then just a day." She added with a smile.
Crystal then looked around for a bit as she sighed. "We should really get something to eat. The sooner we can get something in our stomachs, the sooner we can return to training. And I honestly have no clue how much longer I'll be able to resist the urge to just hug you right here and now."

^Well, we can not have you take your prize without working for it, can we? I should put you in a cage for the time being, haha.
But joking aside, yes, we should get something to eat now. Actually... I will get it myself. I will let you rest here. I won't be too far away.^
Sanoske hurried off to gather food and later brought along some mushrooms and berries with a bit of fish a bit later back to Crystal, while Sanoske himself just ate the fish. Crystal seemed eager to get back into training and didn't want to make her wait while the first cooked.
He told her that he would have wanted to make her a better breakfast, but he wanted something fast. Once he was done, he stretched a bit.
Grrroowwwlll... ^That was adequate, but we have some training to do. I will give you a few more minutes to get prepared, and then we can start, alright honey?^

Crystal had quickly down the meal that Sanoske had given her. Not only was she pretty hungry, she also wanted to get back to practice. Though perhaps she should have slow down a little. For once she had finished her meal, she began to feel a little sick. Not enough to cause any adverse effects (at least she didn't think she was), but it was enough to make her feel uncomfortable and sluggish.
"Ugh... That sounds like... A good idea." She agreed as she tried to fight against the sick feeling. She really hoped it wouldn't end effecting her during this training exercise. She also hoped that none of the mushrooms and berries she just ate were poisonous. In hindsight, she should have probably have double-checked just to make sure before downing them, but she had trust that Sanoske knew what he was doing.

Sanoske looked over Crystal, somewhat concerned. And then saddened.
^Oh no did I give you bad food? You do not look too well and... I am positive what I gave you was not poisonous.
Damn... serves me right, going the quick route and getting you sick... I am very, very sorry. Maybe I could give you a belly ru-...^
He stopped, realizing what he was about to do. He stepped back, rubbing his head and looking down in shame. A part of him wanted to just forego the challenge altogether, but he knew Crystal would want to go through with it, especially with how much Sanoske led her on.
^My plan is falling apart... I thought this would be an easy way to get you stronger but...^ *whimper* ^I feel so stupid for making you ill... forgive me.^

It seemed Sanoske notice the fact that Crystal was feeling ill, and quickly grew concern. He began blaming himself over and over again about Crystal's condition. He was even just about to give her a belly rub until he remembered the challange (much to Crystal's malcontent.) Instead he began whimpering about how he just wanted to help her, and has instead hurt her. Something that made Crystal's heart begin to feel really heavy.
"Sanoske... Don't worry. I just ate a little to fast and feeling a little ill because of it. That's all." She said giving her best smile to Sanoske. She couldn't bare seeing him upset, much less because he thinks that he's done something to hurt her.
"Besides. Think of it this way. It'll make sure I rest for a little while to fully regain my strength before we continue." She then quickly added, trying her best to make Sanoske feel better about the whole situation.

The large Gazimon looked at the Lopmon and sighed, trying not to feel too bad while Crystal tried to ease his worries over having made her ill. Although if she started vomiting he's going to really start worrying his head off.
^Okay, Crys. Yes... you just need a little rest.^ The way he spoke, though, sounded like he was more convincing himself than telling her that she needed the rest. He took the next few moments to calm himself down somewhat before continuing to speak with Crystal.
^I apologize, honey. I wanted you rested but... I did not want to cause you discomfort. I really want you to succeed. And as much as I want to ease your discomfort directly... I can not go easy on you. I want you in top shape and to see you sweat.^
And his mind began to wander to imagine a sweaty Crystal.

It seemed Crystal's attempt to calm Sanoske didn't work as well as she hoped. She gave a sigh as she try to figure out what she should say to help.
"Sweety. There's no need to apologize. It's something that I did to myself, because I was in too much of a haste. Now just give me a few minutes to rest. We'll be able to continue our practice once I fully recover." She said not wanting Sanoske to blame himself for this any more.
"So no chance on getting any hints on what this reward is while I rest, is there?" She asked trying to change the subject.

Garroowwll...^Alright, Crystal.^
He had accepted Crystal's words on it not being Sanoske's fault, and afterwards asked if she would get any hints as to what the prize for completing.
Sanoske merely said, "Nope." and then gave a smile. ^If I gave you a hint you might be too distracted wondering what it could be and trying to figure it out. Whereas if I just said there is a neat prize at the end with no hints, you will concentrate more on the training.
If anything, though... do not expect something of no worth. I will not cheat you, and you can be certain you will get a certain something from me.^
After a bit more time, Sanoske flew back to the top of the hill, ready to start the training again.

Crystal put on a pouty face when Sanoske told her that he wasn't going to as it would distract her. "Your no fun anymore. And wouldn't what it is in the first place be just as distracting, if not more." She argued, obviously not being very serious about the whole thing in the first place.
She then gave a sigh as Sanoske decided to fly up the hill. It seemed that he was ready to start training, though Crystal wasn't sure that she was. She continued to sit there for a little while wondering what kind of reward Sanoske had plan in the first place. She had no doubt that it would be worth something to Crystal. Even just a hug from him is precious to her. Yet she got a feeling that it was probably something more then that.
After having rested for a little while longer, Crystal stood up, feeling a bit better. "Okay. I'm ready. Let's get this started again." She said as she began climbing up the hill once again. Hopefully this time she'll be able to do better then she did before.

Sanoske figured that Crystal's dissatisfaction over not being given a hint wasn't too serious. In fact it seemed rather part for the course for her.
After some waiting, Crystal finally started with the training again. But of course, Sanoske wasn't going to use the same obstacles again, that would be too easy. And he stated as much to her.
^Oh, and this is probably fairly obvious... do not expect the same things over and over again in a row. Always expect the unexpected, and what not.^[/color]
And then a boulder formed on top of the hill, rolling down to "flatten" the Lopmon. It was something to keep her on her toes... at least, the larger boulder was. The smaller boulders that followed might be a bit harder to deal with.

So she wasn't to expect Sanoske to use the same tricks twice then. Crystal guessed that she shouldn't be to surprise by that fact. This was a training exercise, and Sanoske's creativity did go well beyond just a wall and some copies of her. This also means that if she fails, she'll have no way of really testing what different tactics would of work instead.
It also seemed that Sanoske had plans on going easy on her either as he summoned a rock slide. She saw a large boulder rolling right straight towards her with several other smaller boulders following close behind. She quickly rolled to the side out of the way of the boulder and moved just in time to avoid the smaller ones as well. With one threat now passed, she continued upward the steep hill.

It figures that Crystal dodged everything... or did she?
These were no mere boulders, but illusions of Sanoske's design. He mused to himself the control he had, reminding himself to be creative in his training, but only enough to keep the training interesting and not be overly extravagant. He kept on a good poker face for when she looks at him, she wouldn't know when to expect something.
Like how the boulders that just passed Crystal started to roll back up the hill in reverse, about as fast as they were when they went down hill.

Crystal was climbing her way up the hill as fast as she could. However, as she was, a thought occurred to her. These aren't natural boulders. Instead they are illusionary constructs created and control by Sanoske. So they aren't effected by the normal laws of gravity.
Always expect the unexpected, and what not.
The lopmon looked down to see the boulders are now rolling up the hill. A small curse left her mouth as she moved swiftly, making it in a space between the boulders just in time again. She then quickly returned back to climbing, keeping her eyes on the boulders the whole time in case they decided to double back once more.

Sanoske chuckled seeing Crystal dodged the boulders again.
^That is good, honey… keep at it!^ The boulders then moved into a formation, the larger one in the center as the smaller one began to orbit the larger with various and ever changing speeds and distances, moving closer and farther.
The whole imaginary rock orbit was also moving closer to Crystal at a fair pace.
