[ If any of you have gone to the Battle Dome since it opened up again after the event with six new rooms (and let's face it, a bunch of you probably have) you've probably seen Rin in there. Or Silver. Actually, both of them. You see, the both of them have been training incessantly for the last month (though even more so since they were all but assured a constant room via the expansion) in preparation for a match that Rin's due to have at the end of the month. As such, much of their training has been around a field Rin actually is familiar with and, after this month, he's pretty sure he's not cut out for: Pokémon training.
A chance encounter with Lance a while back led to the challenge due to come at the end of this month, and Rin's been working with Silver and Skarmy to try to get Rin and Skarmy to function as a proper team. It's been rough going - Rin has been distractible, Skarmy's been fairly resistant (and also distractible) and Silver has been short on sleep. Still, you might witness them are many hours the day practicing battles, commands... ... lighting things on (blue) fire? No, that last one is just Rin dicking around. But when he see him doing that you might also see Silver hitting him with a newspaper or comic book he's got rolled up to do it with, or in extreme cases, soaking him with a blast of water from his buddy Feraligatr.
Because they are at the Battle Dome so much (going so far as to pitch a tent in a simulation of a forest in one of the rooms, some nights, literally camping out in there) you can see them doing any number of things, including, but not limited to: what's described above!, watching the stars in a simulation of the Viridian Forest or on a mountain of simulated Sneasels, Rin programming in some demons from home (including but not limited to Reapers, Amaimon, Phantom Trains, and hobgoblins), the two of them going out to get snacks from the vending machines, the two of them going to the bathroom in turns in the Med Center's bathroom to wash their faces, the two of them importing more food, and other whacky antics we can fill in if you want to just run into them doing goofy stuff. Possibly Rin trying to book-study for the school mentioned below
Additionally, Silver and Rin do have responsibilities outside of training. While Rin compromises with Silver to miss half his days of school in the week, he does go out to do half of them (though he can't help but find it a little pointless, it feels disrespectful to Shiemi and Yukio not go at all), and works shifts at Seventh Heaven. In all places, the guy looks increasingly haggard and tired, and not just from over-working himself. When he does get to sleep, he's not sleeping nearly as much as he'd like. So you might also see him nodding off on a bench or something ]
[ OOC: This is a joint post with Silver (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
feistytrader). The Battle Dome parts, that is - threads there will be three ways with Rin, Silver, and your character unless otherwise requested. The portions outside the Dome will be just Rin though if you'd rather go there. Have at! ]

In front of him sits Altaria. The dragon bird content with cheerfully preening his fluffy white wings as they wait.
While Rin and Silver have been training hard, Lance hasn't slacked on his training either. They're ready for this, and whatever the outcome may be, they both know that they will have done their best. But really... can a novice like Rin really hope to beat a seasoned trainer like Lance?]

'Ey.

Hey... uh. Are you all right?
[Was he up training all night or something? There's nothing wrong with preparation but... isn't that a bit much?]

...And no matter what, they can go rest for a while when they're finished here. Silver lets out a short yawn, but otherwise keeps quiet and sticks behind Rin. Weavile's around too, of course- and he's substantially more bright eyed and busy tailed than either of them.]

Shut up! I'm doing just fine!
[ In fact, he flips him off.
... And Skarmy just bird laughs at this ]
