What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Gu Beiri had already packed his gear and set off for Thunder Mountain with his two Pokémon.

"Today's training focuses on targeted improvement," Gu Beiri explained as they walked. "Rongrongyang, go to the open-pit magnetite mine halfway up the mountain. The electromagnetic environment there is most suitable for you to further refine your iron sand manipulation skills."

Rongrong Sheep nodded, and DouDou's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

It was already quite familiar with the environment of Leiji Mountain, where it had made significant progress during its last training session.

"Scyther," Gu Beiri turned to another Pokémon, "your training ground is in that mixed forest to the east."

There's no electromagnetic interference there; it's just a typical outdoor environment, perfect for your basic flight training and combat adaptation.

"just!"

The little flying mantis responded energetically, its eyes brimming with eagerness.

Yesterday, Gu Beiri promised to take it for outdoor training today, which made it look forward to it.

Two hours later, the group arrived at the foot of Leiji Mountain.

"Alright, let's split up." Gu Beiri made the arrangements. "Rongrongyang, you go straight up the mountain."

Remember, today's focus is on precision control; try breaking down the iron shot into finer particles for multi-wire operation.

The fluffy sheep nodded and turned to walk up the mountain.

"As for us," Gu Beiri turned to the Flying Mantis, "let's go to the mixed forest."

…………

On the east side of the mountain struck by lightning, there is a mixed forest.

In stark contrast to the electromagnetically charged mining area of ​​Leiji Mountain, this mixed forest appears remarkably ordinary.

The trees are not dense, mostly common birch and pine trees, and the forest clearings are full of wild grass, with occasional clumps of shrubs.

There is no special energy field, no rare resources—it is just an ordinary wild woodland.

"Perfect." Gu Beiri looked around with satisfaction. "The most basic wilderness environment is the most suitable for basic training."

He turned to the little flying mantis: "Do you remember what I told you at home yesterday?"

Real battles often take place in the most ordinary places.

Without any assistance, in this situation, you can only rely on your own wings, scythe, and combat wisdom.

"Yes!" The little flying mantis nodded seriously and assumed a fighting stance.

"Alright, first up is the most basic flight training." Gu Beiri pointed to the woods. "See those branches? I need you to traverse this area as quickly as possible without touching any leaves."

This sounds simple, but it actually requires considerable self-control.

The branches of the mixed forest are intertwined and the gaps are of varying sizes. To accurately avoid all obstacles while flying at high speed requires an excellent sense of space and micro-management skills.

The little flying mantis took a deep breath and spread its wings.

"start!"

The green figure shot out like an arrow!

At first, the journey went smoothly for a few meters, but problems soon arose—due to excessive speed, the tip of its wing grazed a leaf while turning.

"rustle……"

Although it was only a slight contact, it did happen.

"Sigh..." The little guy landed in frustration.

"That's too fast. You need to learn to control it." Gu Beiri didn't scold him. "Think about the anime you watched yesterday. When Tatsumi used his Teigu to dive into the water, he didn't just smash in. He was fast when he needed to be fast, and slow when he needed to be slow."

The little flying mantis seemed to be deep in thought.

It took off again, this time at a noticeably slower speed.

But Gu Beiri immediately pointed out the problem: "It's too slow! This will make us easy targets in actual combat."

The goal is to find a balance: to pursue speed while maintaining accuracy.

For the next half hour, the little flying mantis tried again and again.

Brushing against leaves, crashing into branches, losing balance due to sharp turns... I failed time and time again.

But after each failure, it pauses for a few seconds to think, adjusts its strategy, and then tries again.

By the eighth attempt, it finally got the hang of it.

Take off, accelerate, decelerate in front of dense branches, sidestep through narrow gaps, accelerate immediately after exiting the gap, and nimbly roll away from horizontal branches...

The green figure moved smoothly through the forest, like a fish swimming in water.

While it's not perfect yet, it's already able to complete the entire course without touching any obstacles.

"Excellent!" Gu Beiri clapped. "That's the feeling! Remember, flying is not just a means of transportation, but also a part of combat."

Excellent flying skills can help you gain a favorable position and avoid fatal attacks.

In Pokémon battles, air superiority generally determines the initiative.

The little flying mantis excitedly swung its scythe, its eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Let's take a short break, and then we'll move on to the next training exercise."

Gu Beiri took out a water bottle and some Pokémon food from his backpack.

While Scyther was replenishing his energy, he checked on the situation of Sheep through the remote monitoring screen.

Halfway up the mountain in the mining area, the fluffy sheep are training intently.

Dozens of iron pellets hovered in the air, divided into three groups performing different actions: one group arranged in a neat square formation, one group drew a complex spiral trajectory, and one group simulated an attack.

"Not bad, the progress is obvious." Gu Beiri nodded in satisfaction.

The fluffy sheep's control over the iron shot has improved significantly since its last visit, and it can now perform multi-line operations simultaneously.

After eating and drinking their fill, the Scyther's training continued.

"Next is a practical rehearsal." Gu Beiri pointed to a relatively open area in front of him. "I will use these specially made targets to simulate attacks from wild Pokémon. You will need to use the skills you have learned to deal with them."

He took out several palm-sized round targets from his backpack, marked with conspicuous red marks.

"These targets will be launched randomly by catapults, with unpredictable trajectories."

Your task is to hit them as many times as possible while avoiding their attacks—I'll coat the targets with a special fluorescent paint, and if you get hit by the target, the paint will stick to your body. We'll check at the end of the training.

This training is quite challenging.

You need to attack and dodge at the same time, and the targets pop up completely randomly, requiring extremely fast reaction speed.

"Are you ready?"

The little flying mantis took a deep breath, crossed its two scythes in front of its chest: "Cha!"

"start!"

The first target popped out of the bushes on the left, moving slowly and following a straight trajectory.

The little flying mantis easily dodged to the side, simultaneously swinging its right scythe—

"Snapped!"

The target was precisely split in two.

"Beautiful!" Gu Beiri praised, "But don't let your guard down, the difficulty will increase next."

He adjusted the catapult settings.

The next second, three targets were launched from different directions at the same time!

Left side, upper right, and directly in front!

The little flying mantis's pupils contracted, but its movements were without the slightest hesitation.

It first ducked to avoid the target directly in front of it, then flapped its wings and leaped upwards, slashing down the target on the upper right with its left scythe. Upon landing, it rolled over, and its right scythe cleaved the third target that was attacking from behind.

The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion!

"Excellent!" Gu Beiri's eyes lit up. "Excellent combat instincts!"

In subsequent training sessions, the number of targets gradually increased, and the launch speed and angle became increasingly tricky.

The little flying scythe's performance is inconsistent—sometimes it perfectly handles a series of attacks, while at other times it fumbles and gets grazed by the target.

But Gu Beiri noticed that after each failure, the little guy was able to adjust quickly and handle similar situations even better the next time.

"He has a strong learning ability." Gu Beiri nodded to himself.

About an hour into the training session, the accident occurred.
