"My dojo is open to all!"

He leads you inside. "As you can see, it's mostly set up for water type moves right now." The floors and walls are covered in sponges, some acting as mats, others acting as targets. There are also little games, like trying to fill a tube with water racing against the clock or against an opponent.

Above the sponges are lots of Eastern symbols, such as Yin and Yang (not Mutios though, just a normal one), or inscriptions from the Art of War. He's also got paintings of Sprout Tower, Saffron City Dojo, and, yes, Tsukinami Dojo surrounded by Frynai.

He chats with you about his herbal drink and all the potent ingredients: marigold for balance, peppermint for essential oils and zing, turmeric, rosemary, Salveyo for limberness, a pinch of Energy Root tempered by many sweet berries, and a sprinkle of Charcoal.

"I've done a lot of research on Honedge, mostly from my master's library. Reports of Honedge draining life force are greatly exaggerated, but it is true that Honedge only evolve when wielded by a worthy man. It's also true that they have an innate tendency toward violence and revenge, but I think there is some controversy over whether this Pokemon is really born of spirits. My master said Honedge is an ancient Pokemon and can live essentially forever. Did you know that Sarimanok himself had an Aegislash? For this reason, only the Champion is permitted to raise an Aegislash in Creshire! I don't think our current champ has one, though."

"Tell me of your own research, and we shall see if it lines up with my master's lore!"
