When Max busted in the door, he shot up like a pop tart. BDWHDBGHWDGYUWQ
"Uh...whut..."
Five seconds later...give him a rest, even he has a hard time waking up THIS early. Then he shook himself awake.
"UH, UH! YES SIR! RIGHT AWAY, SIR!"
Whoosh.

Max looks at the sorry excuses for soldiers he has to train (and also Mac who is not technically a soldier but in this case is treated as if he were one). "GOOD MORNING. YOU WERE ALL LOOKING A LITTLE SOFT AROUND THE EDGES YESTERDAY, SO I DECIDED THAT TODAY, YOU NEEDED A LITTLE EXTRA." Oh god, Max, do you have any volume other than 11? No? Alright. "THIS MORNING YOU NOTICE WE HAVE A GUEST. WELL, JUST SO YOU KNOW, I'M TREATIN' YOU EXACTLY THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE, AND UNTIL I SAY SO, HE AIN'T MAC, HE'S PRIVATE MAC. THE FIRST THING THE THREE OF YOU ARE GONNA DO IS RUN A FIVE K. WEARIN' YOUR PACKS ( ... )

That was the only thing that needed to be said.

Goose shrugged and reached for his sack. "Fine. Ain't like I can't heft these things."

Or no, not at all, no.
But finally, finally the sun has peeked its head over the edge of the world and there's enough light to see. Which is good, because now you're doing a short obstacle course.
"LISTEN UP, I'M ONLY EXPLAININ' THIS ONCE. YOU ALL HAVE A LITTLE OBSTACLE COURSE TO RUN THROUGH. ONLY SIX THINGS. PIECE OF CAKE. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE DOIN' IT FIVE TIMES THROUGH."
Max pointed to where, overnight, constructions made out of logs and ropes had mushroomed up on the field.

But the sun was up, finally. The haze was lifting from his brain as he absorbed the light - the Venusaur could feel some sort of second wind coming on.
Forget this shirt business, it was just covering up skin. OFF IT GOES. C'MON CHLOROPHYLL, HELLO TATTOOS AND SCARS.

BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS WATER NOTHING HAS TASTED BETTER IN ALL HIS LIFE.
He practically downed the entire bottle in one go and restored 50 HP before he gasped, "...Thanks."

OH BOY, VINNIE'S FAVORITE. At least he gets to take his shirt off at this point.

"Oh great...this is what I needed...Awesome."
He was eager to get out of these sweaty clothes. As quickly as he could, he went to get changed. He returned looking ever so slightly better without the sweaty clothes on. Huh, these were actually kind of nice. Better than his old trunks.
"...Hey Max, can I keep these?"

Oh wow, that was nice for a change.

But at least he got to take his shirt off. Tasty, tasty sunlight, give him strength. Drinking in the bright morning rays, he could already feel the worst of his exhaustion being dispelled.
So even if he hated swimming on about the same level as most cats, he was going to kick this goddamn swimming pool's ass, and make all those horrible mornings of drowning pay off.
