But this was only part of the training regimen. The little Torchic had no idea that the real hell was yet to come.
After this, there was a series of training exercises waiting for Torchic, including weighted kicks, weighted squats, Fire Energy gathering, and so on.
Torchic, having finished the reaction training, thought it was finally free, but upon hearing its Trainer's arrangements, it wanted to cry but had no tears.
This was indeed hell. Its Trainer was a great demon king.
The sun set in the west.
Having finally finished a day of training, Torchic and Pidgeot were enjoying a hard-earned delicious meal at the dinner table.
Torchic ate frantically, as if trying to cover up the hardship of training with delicious food.
Tetsuya sat on the side, elegantly eating the food he had cooked himself.
Tetsuya calculated that with the amount consumed by the two Pokemon in a day, the ingredients he had pre-ordered could last for more than two months of training.
However, considering Torchic's increased food intake and evolution later on, he estimated that he would need to prepare to purchase some more things in about seven weeks.
Thinking of this, Tetsuya was also amazed by Torchic's high Potential and rapid progress, which completely exceeded his data analysis.
It wasn't surprising when he thought about it, after all, he didn't have other Pokemon with Champion Potential to give him specific data. He could only extrapolate based on data from other Pokemon with lower Potential, so problems were bound to arise.
For example, according to his and Zero's extrapolation, Torchic's goal for today should have been to complete the medium-difficulty Wooden Stake Array within twelve minutes, plus the interference of two launchers.
Torchic was flustered at first, but as the training progressed, Torchic's reactions became faster and faster.
Not only could it pass through the medium-difficulty Wooden Stake Array quickly, but it could also complete a training session in just ten minutes under the interference of three launchers.
Other items also had a progress increase of ten to twenty percent, making Tetsuya sigh at how impressive Torchic truly was.
What was most astonishing was that this little guy hadn't cried out in pain even once, which extinguished Tetsuya's idea of lecturing his Pokemon.
However, Tetsuya was also very happy about this.
After all, Torchic being able to accept the current training, which was very difficult for it, meant it had a sufficient desire to become stronger.
There was nothing bad about that.
Having cleaned up the messy dinner table, Tetsuya went upstairs and began his daily studies.
Torchic and Pidgeot obediently returned to their Poke Balls and began to rest, preparing to face tomorrow's difficult training.
Two months later.
Inside the backyard of a certain villa in the suburbs of Viridian City.
Near the end of the Wooden Stake Array.
"Cha!"
Combusken twisted its left foot, and its body immediately tilted slightly to dodge the three Bouncy Balls shot at it.
Without even taking a breath, it immediately bent its upper body to avoid being hit by two Bouncy Balls coming one after another.
Following the momentum, it stretched both arms forward, slammed them on the ground, and performed a tilted front roll to dodge the wooden stake in front.
This wasn't over yet. Just as it stood up and accelerated, Tetsuya's voice sounded.
"Upper right 10 o'clock, Flamethrower, followed by U-turn and Brick Break to cut open the rock in front."
Combusken immediately unleashed a pillar of fire in the direction of the command.
The specially made stone that Tetsuya had thrown into the sky was accurately burned to ash by the 1800-degree Celsius high-temperature flame unleashed by Combusken.
The moment Combusken unleashed the Flamethrower, it cut off the energy output and switched to using U-turn.
After its body was close to the ground near the rock, its right hand, glowing with dazzling white light, chopped downwards. This was the Brick Break skill.
"Karaka karaka." After a crisp sound, the rock was directly cut open.
At this very moment, five more Bouncy Balls came from different directions at intervals, shooting towards Combusken's limbs and torso.
Combusken's reaction was also exceptionally fast. It quickly jumped up, using Scratch with one hand and Fire Punch with the other to deflect and knock away the two Bouncy Balls above.
Following the momentum, it performed an aerial spin to dodge the Bouncy Ball that was originally heading for its torso.
At this point, the two lowermost Bouncy Balls were already close at hand. Combusken straightened its waist and abdomen and directly kicked the two Bouncy Balls away with a Double Kick.
"Quick Attack."
Tetsuya's voice was never late.
As soon as Combusken landed, it bent its legs and exerted force, immediately using Quick Attack. There was another wooden stake in front.
Combusken was not flustered at all, controlling its body at high speed to brush past the wooden stake.
"Okay, finished." Tetsuya looked at the timer and called a halt to the training.
Combusken regulated its breathing and slowly walked to Tetsuya's side.
"Very good. Now, with the high difficulty and the interference of 10 launchers, you can complete it in 3 minutes. The goal for this stage is considered complete."
"Cha." Combusken nodded steadily, indicating that it was ready to start the next training item.
Tetsuya helped Combusken put on the Weighted Vest, set the data, and Combusken walked to the side to begin its kicking training.
Using force from its waist and abdomen to drive the entire body, its legs constantly alternated kicks, maintaining a training state of six kicks per second.
Tetsuya looked at the diligently training Combusken with a relieved smile.
The training over the past two months had allowed Torchic to successfully evolve into Combusken.
Not only had its abilities significantly increased, but its personality had also become more stable.
Thinking of this, Tetsuya silently said in his heart, "Zero, analyze and then open Combusken's panel."
Soon, a blue panel that only Tetsuya could see appeared in his vision.
[Combusken]
Category: Chick Pokemon
Type: Fire/Fighting
Height: 1.3m (Average: 0.9m)
Weight: 26kg (Average: 19.5kg)
Ability: Blaze (When its HP is low in a crisis, the power of its Fire-type moves increases)
Hidden Ability: Speed Boost (Pokemon with this ability have their speed continuously increase as the battle time extends, up to a limit)
Moves: Scratch, Peck, Growl, Counter (Inherited), Overheat (Inherited), Agility (Inherited), Ember, Quick Attack, Double Kick, Flamethrower, Flame Charge, Detect, Fire Punch, Brick Break, Low Sweep, Fire Blast, Heat Wave, Feather Dance, U-turn.
Level: 26 (Normal)
Potential: Champion
Training Method: It is recommended to train this Pokemon's leg muscles. Its development is 1.56 times that of the same species, possessing extremely strong explosiveness and damage potential. (Plan and diet are as follows:)
It is recommended to feed a mix of Spicy Cherry Berries and Choco Berries to enhance the intensity of the Fire Energy within this Pokemon. The current ratio is one to one.
This Pokemon's reaction time is 2.12 times that of the same species. Targeted training is recommended. (Plan and diet are as follows:)
Tetsuya looked at the panel. Although he had been constantly paying attention to it every day, such a powerful panel still made the corners of Tetsuya's mouth curl up unconsciously.
A Combusken that was just Level 26, just looking at its move panel, was not inferior to, and could even be said to surpass, the move panel of a Pidgeot that had just finished evolving at Level 38.
Excluding the three inherited moves, it had mastered both Fire-type and Fighting-type moves extremely comprehensively.
Not to mention, during this period of training, Torchic's talent had been further developed.
The panel generally only appears once after evolution. Move mastery is not specifically displayed; using them directly in battle counts as mastering them. Otherwise, I could pad 300 characters at once...
