Being awakened rather rudely by the hitmonlee's kick, Marshall lands with a crash on the ground ebneath his tree. Grunting, he's bound quickly by the guards. In his regular fashion, he makes a sly comment through the discomfort.<br/><span style="color: #40BF00">"You know, it's considered polite to be gentle when waking people up..."</span><br/>He doesn't resist, however, knowing that he'll need to be in good shape. As he's led to the doctor's check, Marshall secretly makes mental notes of all the halls and corridors, as well as security equipment and everything else. One guard notices and blindfolds him, but the damage had been done; besides, Marshall had learnt to better understand the innate abilities of a Gallade, and could keep his eyes open and notice things with telepathy.<br/>The doctor does his checks, with Marshall doing the bare minimum of communication. As the doctor clears him for the combat check, Marshall understands at once that it is uncommon to do so on the first day of trials.<br/><br/>Being led into the large room, Marshall enters combat stance. It takes a few moments, but the targets eventually come at him en masse. Marshall begins destroying targets at a decent pace, but he holds back, not wanting the scientists to know his full ability. He feigns a few clumsy missteps and missed swings, and just as he's beginning to wonder how many hours he's been in the room, the targets all melt away. Marshall is then peppered with tranquilizer darts, and falls asleep.<br/><br/>He wakes up in the middle of the habitat, just a few moments after he's unceremoniously dumped on the ground by a pair of burly-looking guards with wobuffet escorts.
