"Lapras, what's wrong with you?"
"Why can't you even last a minute?"
"You're a Champion-level Pokémon!"
Seeing the excited and even expectant look on Lapras's face as it followed the three birds and the Red Shrimp to the bottom of the waterfall, Riku had high hopes.
Who would have thought that in just fifty seconds—less than a minute—Lapras was directly washed away by the waterfall. Its originally blue skin even showed a hint of paleness, as if it were very weak.
Not only was Riku puzzled and anxious, but Lapras also didn't understand what was going on.
As a noble of the water, even a Water-type super move like Hydro Pump from a Stage 2 Pokémon such as Blastoise couldn't hurt it in the slightest.
The impact of the waterfall wasn't small, but it was far less than Blastoise's Hydro Pump. Moreover, Lapras's Water Absorb ability made it immune to any Water-type moves; in fact, Water-type moves could even help it recover HP.
It was just that Lapras hadn't expected the seemingly simple and ordinary impact of the waterfall to be as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Watching the three legendary birds and the Lord of the Land enduring for ten minutes already, still having the energy to bicker, Lapras once again experienced the gap between itself and Legendary Pokémon.
And the painful expression and gritted teeth of the Lord of the Land, Groudon, when the first training started earlier, still occasionally flashed before Lapras's eyes.
At that time, Lapras had thought the Lord of the Land was nothing special.
Now it seemed that it had underestimated Legendary Pokémon and overestimated itself too much.
Seeing Lapras remain silent for nearly two minutes, Riku patiently persuaded,
"Lapras, you can't keep doing this."
"Don't ever compare yourself to those four lazy bums. You're the boss; you have to lead by example."
"I'm still counting on you to help me discipline them properly when I'm not around in the future."
Lapras looked terrified.
It could even feel several murderous gazes fixed on its back.
And Riku continued to speak to himself,
"Also, don't compare yourself to Feebas."
"It's too weak now. Once it evolves, it will also participate in training together."
Feebas had been swimming in the river for a while and was dozing off.
Hearing this, it panicked and desperately flapped its tail.
Before, Feebas didn't care how the three legendary birds and Groudon trained, but now seeing that even the huge Lapras couldn't last a minute, letting its small body train would kill it.
Moreover, Feebas couldn't even imagine what it would look like after evolving.
A fish ten times bigger?
"Lapras, continue after resting," Riku pointed to the waterfall not far away.
"I really have high hopes for you. Don't disappoint me, okay?"
"Go!"
Forced to do so, Lapras had no choice but to swim under the waterfall again.
The three legendary birds and Groudon had seemed to be training just now, but they were actually secretly pricking up their ears, listening to what Riku and Lapras were saying.
When they heard Riku patiently persuading Lapras and saying that he had high hopes for it,
the three legendary birds and Groudon had to admit that they were jealous.
However, Riku was right beside them at this moment, so they didn't dare say anything. Suppressing the urge to beat Lapras severely, the three legendary birds and Groudon began to watch coldly.
And Lapras was a considerably intelligent Pokémon.
It saw the gazes of the three legendary birds and Groudon as well.
Instantly, the pressure was enormous.
The impact of the waterfall was already unbearably heavy for Lapras.
Now, adding the menacing stares of four Legendary Pokémon, this time, Lapras was washed away by the waterfall in just thirty seconds.
"Gaa gaa gaa—"
"Jiji jiji—"
"Goo goo—"
"Roar—"
Even though the training was hard and they themselves were about to give up, the three legendary birds and Groudon still laughed out loud.
Of course, the four Legendary Pokémon didn't have any malicious intent towards Lapras.
It was like mischievous children whose parents' affection was snatched away by a newborn younger sibling, and the parents even often stepped on them, saying that the younger sibling would definitely be more successful than them in the future, and maybe they would even have to ask the younger sibling for help.
Even though the three legendary birds and Groudon were noble Legendary Pokémon, knowing that Riku's words were nonsense, they were still quite annoyed in their hearts.
Now that they had the chance, if they didn't make fun of it, how could they make up for the grievances they had suffered today?
At this moment, Riku didn't know what he was feeling in his heart.
But seeing the three birds and the Red Shrimp looking at him with smiles, as if saying they were still awesome and asking Riku to apologize for misunderstanding them, a nameless fire blazed in Riku's heart.
Ding—
Second stage of training partially completed, reward points.
Partially completed? Fortunately, most of the points could still be obtained.
Riku nodded, then looked at the panting and still recovering Lapras:
"Lapras, you don't need to participate in the third stage of training."
"You'll get used to it with more training in the future."
"You!" Riku suddenly pointed at the three birds and the Red Shrimp.
"You can come over here."
"Prepare for the third stage of training."
"Gaa gaa—"
Hearing that the third stage of training was about to begin, the three legendary birds were so scared that several of their feathers fell off.
And Groudon, looking at the flustered three legendary birds, snorted coldly, very disdainful.
As the Lord of the Land, a Tier 1 Legendary Pokémon, Groudon had its dignity.
Just training?
Even if it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, it wouldn't even frown.
Unfortunately, Groudon's so-called pride and dignity were completely shattered and scattered on the ground a few minutes later.
Almost kneeling, it frantically wailed in its heart:
What kind of training is this?
Torture, it must be torture!
Without a doubt, this is a vendetta!!
