Training Regime

Reid... really doesn't focus on leveling up that much. He's more concerned with his research and teaching his Pokemon how to think creatively. It's actually Yang, who is constantly sensing impending disaster aimed for his trainer, who is adamant about Reid having a strong team, so he becomes the drill sergeant of Reid's roster. Elle, Ellie, and Missy both work hard with Yang, mainly because of their deep respect for and loyalty to Reid. Nate works a little less hard than they do, but still pretty hard, mainly because he feels bad for nomming on Reid's soul and tries to make up for it this way. Flora doesn't work as hard and the others don't push her, mainly because she's the baby of the roster and really doesn't like battling too much. Amanda has very little respect for Yang, leading her to not listen to him at all when he tries to get her to train, but she respects Reid, so she will train when he's there asking her to. So of course, she ends up leveling up the least.
