Once again, Lauren had woken up before everyone, though this had been with a painful headache, she was convinced that she heard the voices of her mother and Lauren. She sighed and left the room, leaving her Gatomon's on the bed as she went to the rooftop.<br/>She sat down and looked out as the sun rose, sighing as she thought about her mother and Lauren. "Talking to the dead, I wonder if it means I have to hear all those who's lives I took as well" she though to herself before sighing again as she watched people wake up and go about their lives. She even watched her friends get ready for their human based contest.<br/>She decided that she would do some training with her pokemon and herself, after picking up her digimon who would join her. So she left to go battle in the fields.<br/>--<br/>After waking up, Mike checked out the gym to get an idea of the levels, noticing his team probably weren't ready for the challenge yet. He decided to go into the fields and train up his team a lot more. He was thinking that level 12 should be more then enough to battle at the gym and he had enough potions and berries to help his team get to that level as well.<br/>He left town to head to an area of the field that he had not explored yet, thinking he could get some research done as well while training his team.<br/>Derek would soon join him as the two would train toguther as well, as they both had the same idea of what level they wanted to be before challenging the gym, plus the extra experience battling against each other was always helpful.
