CHAPTER 19

After a quick physical therapy session for Asena and Scrappy, Jackson enjoyed a long shower and hearty meal. Given the day they had, he wanted nothing more than to plop down on his bed and pass out for the next week, but if he felt like making it to the next week, he knew he’d have to take advantage of every waking hour he had.

He settled down in the common area and set to work studying more battle tactics. Following the first week, all the tamers in Barrack 4 began to notice issues with wi-fi and holo connectivity in their rooms, meaning if anyone needed to get online for anything, they had to leave the barrack or use the common area. Mysteriously, connection seemed to be restored after ten at night and then it went out again around six in the morning.

Jackson guessed it was done on purpose, and he wasn’t the only one. All the other tamers seemed to agree, and not just the ones on his team. The only thing that made sense was that camp staff were forcing the tamers to socialize in the living area of the barrack. Jackson didn’t mind too much except that it made his private calls with Jane and Kay even later — he really didn’t want either of them to have a chance encounter with Akamu.

Jackson scrolled through various entries in his Djinncyclopedia. He specifically wondered if there was any way to teach Scrappy some more advanced attacks by the end of camp — as Briggs had warned, the Magglecaw’s move set wasn’t overly impressive. Neither were his Attack, Defense, HP, or EP (Jackson really knew how to pick ’em). Instead, Scrappy had to rely on Speed to execute numerous, low damage moves and avoid taking hits of his own. Jackson’s research hadn’t found anything to the contrary. All of the Magglecaw’s move set remained limited, at least until it evolved into its Intermediate-Form: the Scoundrook. At the rate they were going, Jackson doubted that would happen before the end of camp as it required the Magglecaw to be Level 17 before evolution was even a possibility — and even then, evolving required extreme duress.

Movement out of the corner of Jackson’s eye caused him to look away from his screen. Hayden, Miguel, Lucia, and Appleby approached in a group. Appleby led the way, looking somewhat nervous. Jackson had no doubt they were coming to talk to him and hoped it wasn’t a tactic of Appleby’s to get him to help him out with telepathy.

“What’s up, guys?” Jackson asked as they all sat down across from him. “I take it you all want something?”

The tamers’s arrival woke Asena from her nap and she gave the intruders on her sleep time a long, baleful look. Since the first evening, tamers were allowed to have one of their Djinn out with them in the commons and across the grounds, providing it fit into the space they were in — somebody had tried to
