[Video; this is the day after the tornado!]
[ Early on in the day, Ikki finally gets around to something she’s been putting off: notifying the people who haven’t heard or guessed about Chien going home. She’s more or less been hoping it might not be needed - maybe he’d come back! ...And okay, that didn’t seem likely, but maybe - and otherwise has been kept hopping from one activity to the next with the addition of pokemon training to her already busy social and educational schedule.

But she’s come to terms with the fact that she’s Soren’s trainer now, and maybe that’s something she should commit to on this level, too. She and Soren are hanging out on the front porch of House 56, as Ikki prepares to leave for the first of her daily activities. ]

Hi! This is Ikki - and Soren! He’s a Pokemon - a flying Pokemon! - and also a swellow, which is the sort of Pokemon he is. Um, the thing is - those of you who know Soren, you know he used to be partners with a boy named Chien. [ Here she takes a breath, for once, and Soren sort of chirps encouragingly. ] ...Chien went home a little while ago. I...should have said something sooner, but I’m saying it now! And anyone who is friends with Soren can come and see him at House 56, which is where he lives now! With me and everyone else!

And everyone who was friends with Chien - I’m pretty certain he missed his brothers, so at least we can be happy he gets to see them again, right? [ She. Doesn’t know anything else about his future, so she’ll leave it at that, ending the video note and going on into her daily lessons, one of which includes...]

[Joint Action Post with generalflirt from here]
[Masaomi and Ikki are at the Battle Dome today. They were not able to get to training yesterday (tornado and all, even if it wasn’t that serious) but today they’re at it! ...After they found a room. After all there’s only six rooms and lots of people use this place, so before they actually get in a room, you might catch the two people with both of their pokemon sitting on a bench, perhaps with Masaomi getting up to get them things in the vending machine.

Or you might catch them in the room - from the viewing area or you could just walk in if you wanted. In the room, you might encounter such scenes as Ikki being asked to identify mankeys in trees while there’s a jungle full of loud noises around them. Or perhaps Ikki and Soren being asked to pacify or corral a swarm of stampeding heracross into a specific area in an open field. Or, maybe, you’ll encounter the pair in a foggy valley, where there are haunters around, and they need to find three golden eggs as quickly as they can while being harassed by haunters. There’s also, of course, a chance you will see them battling. Likely opponents include lombres, ledybas, mankeys, poochyenas, sandshrews, dugtrios, and zubats. Though others might be there too, simulations or opponents.

Alternatively, you might see Masaomi do some personal training, with Ikki also in the room assigned to watch and see if she can learn anything. There won’t be as much of this, but you can see Linda facing off against gyarados, gengars, murkrows, croconaws, and other species too.

You can also run into them in between simulations! Between the different ones Masaomi will need to step out and reprogram the room to fit new settings, so they’ll be around in that capacity too! Choose your own adventure with the seven year old, the teenager mentor she has, the large fighting bird, and Masaomi’s electric mouse. ]

[OOC Note: Because the thread where Ikki gets Soren was back on the 4th, logistically a lot of people (the Dex Holders, Shikamaru, Ikki’s housemates, etc) would have known about Ikki and Masaomi training before now. If you want to past-date a thread during a day prior to today either with both of them or one-on-one with either of them, just put that in the subject header.

All other action replies are assumed to be joint and dated to today. Video would be just Ikki]
