(OOC This is what's happening the day before the various Lt. Surge battles as well as the day of the first few. Also, I know that Dragonair can't learn Earthquake via TM, but Dragonite can so...BIC)
"Dragon Rage!" A bright blue sphere erupted from Eon's mouth, hitting Gyrados full force. The bigger Pokemon fell back into the water of Cerulean City's Gym, fainted. Misty returned her fallen Pokemon, and called out to Casys, "Good job, Casys!" Eon, now a powerful Dragonair, slithered to his trainer's side and received many praises. "You weren't bad, yourself," Casys called back. He had been training with Misty to help Eon get stronger, since she was a Water-Type specialist and Eon was a water dweller, she was a perfect training partner. Misty plunged into the water, gracefully swimming to the other side of the battlefield where Casys stood. As she emerged from the sparkling water, she asked Casys, "Do you wanna go get some lunch before we continue?" Casys said yes, and together they walked from the Gym over to the Pangoro Express. "Two orders to-go, please." Casys said to the woman behind the counter. She disappeared through a doorway, then emerged with two bags of steaming food. Casys paid the woman, and he and Misty walked out to Nugget Bridge to eat.
Casys knocked on the door of the Gym early in the morning. Misty appeared on the other side of the glass and unlocked the doors. "You're here just in time," Misty said to him. Together they walked into the arena and stepped up to the battlefield. Misty walked to the far end, while Casys stopped at the end closest to him. In near unison, they drew Balls, one Poke and one Dive, and tossed them up. Eon and Gyrados appeared, each diving into the water and swimming happily around. "I thought we'd work on something new, today," Misty called. She drew an item from the bag she'd dropped on the floor, and tossed it across the battlefield to Casys. He caught it with both hands, realizing that it was a TM. It had the word "Earthquake" written one side with permanent marker. "Earthquake," Casys breathed. He called Eon up to the surface, and the serpentine Pokemon slithered out of the water to join him on dry land. "Eon, wrap your tail around this TM." Eon obeyed and when he came into contact with the Technical Machine his body gave off a faint glow. He unwrapped his tail from the TM, regal eyes full of power. Misty smirked from across the arena. "This will help you with not only a few Gym battles, but also to cover Eon's eventual weakness in Rock and Electric." Casys called back a thanks, and with that the pair began training. Around noon, Casys and Eon had mastered Earthquake, and the pair decided that it was time to catch up with the rest of the group. Casys said to Misty, "Eon and I are gonna get on our way to Vermillion." Misty understood completely and replied, "See you later, then." Casys awkwardly stuck out a hand for a handshake, but when Misty took hold of his hand she pulled him in close for a hug. "See you later," she whispered. With that, she waved him goodbye and Casys left Cerulean City.
Casys caught a bus to Vermillion City, but decided to back track to Route 6 only to find Levi. "Hey, Levi!" Casys called.
