Shade watched as Ajax's assembly of Pokemon did their thing and race each other to the plateau. The adrenaline from the battle was still coursing through her veins, so she knew she wasn't going to sleep tonight, which was exacerbated by her excitement. She returned to the Pokemon Center, healed her two Pokemon some more, and walked back to her personal room. Her Pokemon had been waiting for her and had watched her performance against Ajax. As soon as Doom and Gar left their PokeBalls, they got dogpiled by all of Shade's other Pokemon. She had to chuckle. It was cute.
Chu was the only one out of all the Pokemon to be surfing in the air overhead due to excitement, sparks of electricity turned into sparkles showering over the dogpile.
Shade clapped her hands and her Pokemon immediately undid themselves and stood at attention, with Chu the Alolan Raichu being in the middle. From Chu's right, there was Gar the Gengar, Robin the Decidueye, Princess the Jellicent, and Mitosis the Reuniclus. From Chu's left, there was Doom the Houndoom, Schwartz the Hydreigon, and Zim the Malamar.
Shade clapped her hands again, this time in excitement. "Because we did so well, Ajax, the man we were fighting, is going to teach us at dawn first thing. And because I can't sleep, I'll be doing something. You guys should get some well deserved sleep before we train with the Spire Master."
Now they were buzzing with happiness and excitement, and maybe Shade should have told them later. Shade realized her issue and she mentally facepalmed. Now how was she going to get everyone to sleep?
Then she had an idea. She looked to Gar, who met the gaze with his own mischievous red glare. He floated up so he was in front of the crew and his eyes began glowing blue, and a weak wave of sleep suggestion came out and calmed the excited group down, enough to make them sleep. Doom was having issues falling asleep, but he did so anyway. Gar then turned around and stared at Shade with that same look.
She needed sleep too.
She looked at him with some confusion and then realized what he was going to do. She ran away, trying not to get hit with Hypnosis, but ultimately failed as Gar appeared in front of her by melting into her shadow and appearing in front of her abruptly. Seeing Gar's visage blur and wobble was all she knew before she fell into a deep sleep, where Gar caught her body as it slumped over him and he carried her to bed and tucked her in.
He knew her Pokemon would like to wake up next to her, so he carried Chu and Doom to be sleeping next to her, then Zim to be sleeping by her bed on the floor with Schwartz a little ways below him, Mitosis at the foot of Shade's bed, and Robin leaning against the wall. Then, he put Princess a little ways above Zim and then relaxed in Shade's shadow, putting himself to sleep before the big day.
Meanwhile, Eva was unable to find Edward, but she did notice a battle nearby, and the Spire Master who had inspired her earlier was there watching. Walking up to the Pidgeot and Eevee fighting, she realized that this Eevee was being commanded by none other than another Spire Master.
Although, looking up at the sky, she saw it getting quite dark, the sunset becoming more blue, purple, and dark blue, with the pinks and golds fleeing behind the horizon. She wanted to watch the battle, but her sleep schedule was starting to kick her. She walked past them and went on to the residential area and made a room for herself, grabbing the key and making her way inside.
As she entered, she stretched before releasing all of her Pokemon and she got ready for bed. Laying down on her super comfortable bed, her Pokemon surrounded her, with her Eevee and Sylveon cuddling her while the other six curled around her torso and head. Smiling as her Sylveon's ribbons coiled around her arms, Flareon's heat radiating on her back, Glaceon's icy cold radiating on her legs - even through the blanket, a little light coming off of her Umbreon behind her head, a calming scent and feel from her Leafeon, Vaporeon, and Espeon near her head, lower back, and belly respectively, and feeling Eevee's fur in her arms.
It was a good day.
Meanwhile, Sheila saw how dark it was, but failed to notice the one she had inspired earlier walk away. She decided to head back, as she was also getting tired. She released her Dragonite, who looked at her questioningly before Sheila climbed on his back. Being a bipedal species, he was commonly found being on all fours, which made for getting on and off a lot easier. The Dragonite took off quickly and flew back to Sheila's room at the top of the residential tower - a luxurious room awaiting her as she landed on the balcony. She released all of her Pokemon and fell asleep on the floor, finding it more comfortable than her bed.
Her Dragonite and Garchomp curled around her, her Hydreigon was behind Dragonite, Tyranitar behind Garchomp, Salamence sleeping on top of Metagross - who is sleeping nearby in the corner of the room, Goodra in another corner of the room, Kommo-o in another corner of the room, and Dragapult coiled around Sheila in a cuddling embrace.
It was time for fun tomorrow.
