The next morning you wake to find Kunia poking you with her arm.
"Scy. Scy." It says.

"There'd better be a good reason for waking me up so early..." Zoro says looking about. "Oh hey... look daylight." He says standing up stretching "Alright... let's go get Travis, and start that training of yours." He says going to bathe, and get ready.

After you get ready, you go up to the roof where you find Travis waiting for you.

"Good to see your an early riser." Zoro says. "I've already seen what you can do for the most part... and what you can do.." He says looking over to Kuina. Having watched her fight, he knew where her weaknesses were, and what to do about them. "Today, you're going to forget all that. Everything you've known is history." He says with a smile "To learn something knew, you have to forget everything you knew before it, until you've learned it, and can assimilate it into your style."
With that, he pulls out two swords. Training Swords, metal, but dull "Santoryu is the art of the impossible. Using all five of your limbs in concert with each other to make your opponent drop." As he speaks, he walks up to Kuina, and then to Travis, and places the swords facing opposite angles in their mouths. "The first thing you both will have to work on, is your neck and mouth strength. If you cannot hold the third blade, then there is no reason to teach you."
Placing a blade in his mouth, he keeps the other two sheathed. "Now.... you will both attack me. We will use nothing but the blades in our mouths, should you drop the sword from your mouth, pick it up and begin attacking again. From here on in, we will do this every day, until the both of you can at least attempt to challenge me." With that, he puts both hands behind his back, and says "Attack."
Action: 5 stones from Close Combat + 5 stones from Shuusui + 3 stones from Hyper Trained Muscles all shifted to defense.... for the forseeable future....
Defense: 19 stones
H: 5/5
E: 10/15

Travis looks like he is about to protest you placing a sword in Kunia's mouth, but keeps quiet. For the next several hours both of them make every attempt possible to hit you. But they fall short in the end.

When the two are sufficiently exhausted, Zoro stops the straining stating "Alright. Good first day. Take a rest and get some rest." With that, he sheaths Shuusui and moves to go back inside. He'd been impressed by their passion, and noted that Travis didn't look pleased at the prospect of the training. He smiled to himself, knowing that he thought it was rediculous at first as well, but as the prospects opened up, he realized that it might be the perfect sword system.

Travis walks up to you. "Sensei.... I don't wish to critisize... However.... Teaching a Pokemon to weild a weapon... It seems somewhat immoral at best. I certainly hope you don't plan on using that Scyther in any official Pokemon battles.... I doubt they will allow that." He points out.

"I've seen official Pokemon battles... They're... innane. Children playing with forces to powerful for their own good. No... I found a kindred spirit in Kuina... I went into the Central Park reserve to see what a Scyther was made of. I was going to challenge one myself... but I saw her battling, and she reminded me of myself. I offered to teach her how to use Santoryu so she could become as powerful as she could..." Then, looking over and smiling "Besides... Santoryu doesn't always use 3 swords... and it's techniques can be improvised into non deadly versions that COULD be used in Pokemon battles... Though I should talk to her about learning official Pokemon manuvers, and if she ever wants to compete...."
Leaving Travis to his thoughts, he walks to Kuina and says "I have a question for you. Do you have any desire to compete in official Pokemon matches? I should have asked before, but I hadn't thought of it."

"I see." Travis said. "If you desire I have access to information on what types of attacks and techniques a Scyther can learn, I can have it for you the next time we meet."
"Scy." Kunia says impassively... As if almost indifferent, but she does seem to perk up witrh interest at Travis' offer.

Seeing the interest, Zoro looks at Travis and nods. "That'd be interesting thanks. We should get cleaned up, we'll pick this up tomorrow." He says smiling, finally able to pass on his system to worthy students.

"Right..." Travis says as he helps clean up. "Say..... Are there any enchanted, or special swords where you come from?" He asks.

"Just the 21 Great swords..." Zoro says... "Though I think they aren't magic as much as they are just venerated.." He never really believed in magic... The best he'd ever seen in that department was the Devil Fruit and those were more biological than magic. "Why?"

"I happen to be a collector of unusual weaponry...." Travis says. "This is the Ebony blade." He says drawing the black sword. "It's a supposedly enchanted sword, that prevents whoever is weilding it from being killed."
He then draws his sword that snaps open to reveal a green blade popping out. "And this is the Photon claymore it uses special solidified light to create a blade light as air, hard as diamond, and sharp as obsidian."
He puts them away. "I was more of a gun person for a long time, but swords have taken a palce in my heart in recent years as well." He admited.

"Heh... Swords are better than guns anyway... more elegant." Zoro says "Impressive collection." Putting a hand on one of his swords he says "This is Wadō Ichimonji... It belonged to the person I named Kuina after... She was my rival, but died before we could settle our score..." Putting a hand on the next blade... "This is Sandai Kitetsu... Supposedly a cursed blade, but my luck held out and now it is mine.." Then putting a hand on the last of the swords he says "And this is Shuusui, the sword of the Samurai Ryuuma, whom I defeated. They many not be enchanted, but all three are of the 21 Ō Wazamono Grade Swords..."

"Okay... Well that's great anyway." Travis said. "Well I'm gonna take off for now, I'll see you later." He says walking off.
It's at this point, you see a newspaper on the roof, the date was only yesderday, the headline reads.
