Filio thought that the training plan he had developed in Carlos was strict enough, but after experiencing Kikuko's training this time, he truly realized that there are always people better than you.

But it was this kind of training that made him understand that the strength of the Kanto region was indeed not without reason, and not just because of the many geniuses.

Trainers and Pokémon who can persevere through such hardships already have the foundation for success.

-----------------

Early that morning, Filio, who had already adapted to the soreness caused by the overload of muscles, got up even earlier than Kikuko, who slept very little. Looking at the still silent cabin, he rubbed his eyes and slowly walked out of his tent, heading towards the waterfall.

Emperor Nabo, Kog'Maw, Scaled Dragon and Dragonite had already started their morning exercises there early.

For a whole week, they had almost no other activities but to simply endure the pounding of the waterfall, feeling the continuous and powerful impact of waves higher than the last, and honing their bodies.

Although there is no obvious effect on the accumulation of energy, the temperament is refreshed.

Especially Emperor Nabo, who had just broken through to the level of King of Heaven, and Big Mouth Baby, who seemed to have realized something. They liked to think about how to better mobilize their body's strength. From their initial ignorance, they gradually found some ways.

When Firion walked to the edge of the pool, they were not only able to resist the washing of the water, but they were even able to try to use some close combat techniques under such a heavy burden.

Looking at the big-mouthed baby who was dizzy after being hit by the falling waterfall because he was the smallest in size, Firio suddenly had an idea. He turned and walked into the woods, picking some fruits suitable for breakfast appetizers while looking for other things.

......

......

"...Qido?"

At the dinner table, the big-mouthed kid who was about to eat was stunned when he saw the small bunch of wild flowers handed to him by Firio.

"You've worked hard doing your morning exercise this morning. I think these flowers go well with you. They're all very cute."

Firion smiled and stretched out his hand, gently stroking the little head that was cooled by the splashing water, which attracted the chattering and laughter of the little dream fairy and the wind fairy.

"Qi...Qiduo~!"

In front of outsiders, Big Mouth Baby felt a little embarrassed, a blush appeared on his cheeks, and he shook his head hard, revealing a little bit of arrogance.

"Why, you don't like it? Then I'll find you some new ones later?" Firio blinked.

"Qido..."

A pair of small hands pressed on his wrists, and the big-mouthed kid turned his head and pretended to be reluctant to take it.

But as soon as its back was turned, its brows lit up with joy, and its big jaws moved up and down uncontrollably, like a kitten that couldn't contain its joy.

“Qiqiqi…Qiduo!”

Feeling the gazes behind him, the embarrassed Big Mouth Kid suddenly turned around, with a red face and a fierce look, until everyone looked away, then he turned back and secretly felt happy.

"So this little guy likes flowers?" Kikuko put down the half-finished vegetable soup and looked at the big-mouthed kid's back with interest. "He seems to be tough on the outside but soft on the inside."

"It's not just the loudmouthed kid. My friends all have interesting personalities, so we get along well. For example... Hey, be gentle!"

Before he could finish his words, a slightly jealous scaly dragon came up to him, arched its big head and knocked Firion to the ground.

The iron head covered with hard scales rubbed against him, completely forgetting that it was no longer the little dinosaur that could be held in Firio's arms and act coquettishly.

Seeing this behavior, Gengar was eager to try it, but before he could put it into practice, a cane hit his chubby head lightly.

"Boom"

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. No."

"Geng Ga..."

The happy purple fat man ran to the shadow alone and drew circles, and even pulled along the reluctant Arbok who only wanted to eat.

......

......

By the time Arbok finally got rid of the purple fat man's entanglement, the dining table had been cleared. It was so angry that it swung its big tail and hit Gengar, who was approaching happily, and flew away again. It looked at Kikuko and Firion who had already walked to the water's edge with tears in its eyes.

Turning its head, it was ready to fight to the death with its mortal enemy who was preventing it from eating, and even displayed its death makeup.

"Okay, you're still like a kid at your age. I've left some food for you two at the side of the house. Come over after you're full. I'll ask you to work this morning."

Without even turning her head, Kikuko waved her cane, and Arbok followed her direction to look, and indeed found the breakfast he had been craving for, and even put a small stove to heat it up.

Without caring about Gengar who was clinging to it like taffy, it instantly switched to speed mode with an empty stomach and rushed towards the dining table like an arrow, which even Gengar, who was known for his agility, was amazed.

"Geng Ga? Geng Ga..."

Gengar took out the Dream Monster's biscuits from the shadow space of his stomach, chewed them happily with a "crunch, crunch" sound, spread his hands towards Arbok's back, twisted his butt and ran towards Kikuko.

This morning it will have an interesting battle with the little dream demon!

Let this little guy who learns everything incredibly quickly experience the power of the Shadow Master!

After a while, the sound of tinkling and clanging could be heard, and the sound of "Maqi" was endless. The offensive and defensive battle of the little biscuits had been started for the umpteenth time over this secluded water surface.

......

......

"The preparations are almost done. Let Gengar and Incubus practice on their own. I'm going to teach them some real tricks today. Solevil and Windy, you two come over here too."

Standing by the river with her hands behind her back, the crutch was stuffed into Filio's hand for him to carry. Kikuko seemed to be in a good mood today, and the emphasis of her words was softer than usual, which made Filio, who was used to cold words, a little uncomfortable.

"Buyi?"

"Elu~"

The two little guys who had been silently training their mental strength and observing everyone's training moved at the sound and trotted over. Behind them were the Shield Sword Monster with a look of "It should have been done long ago" written all over his face and the smiling Mimikyu.

The four Pokémon that had been training hard under the waterfall quickly ran out from the water, stood on the back of Dragonite, and returned to the shore in no time.

"Arbok, I know you're full, stop being lazy, come here quickly, Galagala too, do you think I can't see you eating secretly?"

"Gala!"

"Chabo!"

Following Kikuko's command, the two Pokémon that were lazing around beside the house suddenly came running over dejectedly and stood beside the old man with their heads down.

"I'm in good spirits today, and my body has become stronger through exercise. It's time to teach you the old man's power-generating techniques."

Taking the crutch from Firion, Kikuko put on a sinister smile, which made several Pokémon feel a chill in their hearts, but they couldn't suppress their curiosity about the force-generating technique.

After a few days, they had already understood that although the techniques and training methods spoken by the old woman in front of them were either very tiring or difficult, they must be good things.

“Senior, what is the force technique you are talking about…?” Firio already had a three-point prediction in his mind, but still asked considerately.

"You're right. It's the power-generating technique of that old man, Oki Yukinari." Kikuko glanced at him and said in a normal tone, "Although he's not a good guy, he was quite capable of training power-type Pokémon when he was young."

Although the old man's words were calm, Firio could somehow hear a sense of inexplicable pride in them.

But he didn't have time to think about it. Kikuko took the crutch and her whole body was shocked. The strict teaching had already begun.

"Look carefully! Arbok, Iron Tail!"

"Chabo!"

The purple python raised its sturdy upper body high up, and the pattern symbolizing strength flickered on its chest. The powerful spirit of the champion Pokémon was condensed in an instant, and there was no more playfulness and joking as before.

With a loud shout, Arbok exerted force on its long tail, jumped high, and turned almost a circle in the air. Although its long snake tail seemed relaxed, every muscle was slightly tense, flashing a metallic luster, and rushed straight towards Dragonite.

The force used was neither too strong nor too weak, just about the same level as that of a Dragonite.

Firion waved his hand and shouted, "Dragon, use your self-sacrifice to hold it back!"

"Boman!——"

Facing the aggressive Arbok, Dragonite showed no fear. It flapped its wings gently and took off into the air.

The companions on his back also jumped down decisively, staring up at the sky intently.

The ferocious dragon head flashing white light slammed straight into the long tail that was as indestructible as steel.

"Bam—"

Amid the dull sound of muscles colliding, the two sides, who should have been evenly matched, showed a one-sided situation.

The huge body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was like a kite without a string. It was defeated cleanly in the collision and fell straight into the water.

On the other hand, although Arbok used almost the same strength as Dragonite, it still retained some strength after defeating the opponent. It adjusted its body steadily, fell back to the ground, and curled up.

"Do you see anything?"

Kikuko turned her head and looked at Firio with a slightly testing look.

"…Should I thank you for showing mercy in the city of Crimson?"

Firio looked at the old woman's expectant eyes and grinned. For some reason, he always wanted to act a little naughty in front of her.

"Hmm... looks like you need more training this afternoon."

There was a hint of danger in Kikuko's eyes.

"Ah! No, no, no... I was wrong, senior!" A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and Firion decisively raised his hands in surrender and answered honestly, "Is it the process of fully mobilizing the body's muscles and using smooth body postures to prolong the accumulation of power?"

"Hmph... you have some vision, but you're still far from it." Kikuko turned her head away coldly, hiding her satisfied expression, and slammed her cane on the ground. "Keep watching, clacking, clacking tiles!"

"Gala!"

Galagala, who had been waiting for a long time, roared excitedly, the light green flame on the bone stick burned even more fiercely, and he stomped his feet heavily and rushed towards the armored dragon at great speed.

"Galan!"

After taking a look at the dizzy Tyrannosaurus that emerged from the bottom of the water, the pure-minded Armored Dragon was not at all nervous. Instead, it was eager to try. Its dragon claws covered with hard scales condensed with a white light that was not much inferior to the Galactus, and it rushed forward bravely.

Two Pokémon, one big and one small, walked towards each other.

Sharp claws and bone sticks, dragon claws against split tiles.

"Chong"

Metal and stone collided, and the shattered dragon scales flew high into the sky.

"Galan?!"

The Ankylosaurus leaned back with a look of disbelief in its eyes. It was totally unable to comprehend what had just happened.

It seemed that the indestructible claws hit not a bone stick, but a flawless wall. The force seemed ordinary at first glance, but it was as unshakable as mountains and seas.

In the devastating collision, even though it tried its best, it was defeated after just a little resistance, and fell to the ground with its upper body tilted back, covered with mud and grass debris.

Galagala swung the bone stick and returned to Kikuko's side with a leisurely look, but suddenly his eyes focused and looked at the part that had just collided with the armored dragon.

A gap the size of a grain of rice is slowly recovering under the impetus of energy.

"It's a nice scaly dragon. It must be the work of your old owner, Kokobul." Kikuko raised her eyebrows and praised, "Did you see anything this time? Or, did you detect anything with your superpowers?"

"I'm sorry, Senior Kikuko." Firio pondered for a long time and shook his head. "I only felt the resonance between the attribute energy and the muscles, but I can't figure out the reason behind it."

"It's normal that you can't figure it out. If you can see the mystery at a glance, there wouldn't be no one who has been able to make further progress on his basis for so many years. Follow me."

Nodding noncommittally, Kikuko pointed at Solevil and Windsprite, tapped the ground with her cane, and walked slowly towards the cabin.

"Arbok, continue training with the four of them. There's no need to hold back. Their bodies can now withstand the attacks of the two of you."

-----------------

It was the first time that Filio entered a house after being here for some time. Although it was just a rather simple country wooden house, the temperature was just right, neither too cold nor too hot, and it was not as humid as being near the water, so it was quite comfortable.

"sit."

Pointing at the small sofa, Kikuko sat down and looked at Firio.

"Tell me, what do you think about this set of force techniques?"

Firio was like a student who was called out in class, trembling with fear: "Senior, to be honest, it is very different from the training of fighters I have seen. I don't fully understand it."

"Fighting-type Pokémon are the most suitable for training strength skills. This is their unique advantage." Kikuko nodded. A Haunter brought a cup of fragrant black tea and then brought another cup to Firion. "But Xuecheng refused to believe in evil and used the Normal-type Pokémon he was best at to come up with a set. That's how it is now."

"Thanks, Haunter. Do you mean that through this power-generating technique, Pokémon other than fighting-type Pokémon can also gain similar training effects?"

Firion declined the obviously overly sweet black tea, watched the giggling Haunter disappear into the shadows, and looked at Kikuko uncertainly.

"That's right, but this first requires an extremely strong body, otherwise it won't be able to withstand that kind of extreme strain on the muscles." Meimei took a sip of the steaming hot tea, and Kikuko stood up and said seriously, "This is also one of the real tricks that enabled him to surpass all of us back then."

"Back then, he was an impeccable good man. His best skill was to create normal-type Pokémon that were well-balanced and had no special features, but he could defeat each of us with overwhelming power. He is nothing like the old man now, who makes irrelevant comments all day and thinks he is humorous."

The old man showed some reminiscence of his youth, but soon turned into serious dissatisfaction with the current Professor Oak. He slapped the armrest of the sofa angrily, and shook his crutches to the ground.

Tsk... You can even learn this kind of technique. If there is no affair between you and that old man, I would write my name backwards!

Firion secretly complained, but wisely ignored the grudges between the older generations and just asked, "So, senior, is this why you let them go to the waterfall to exercise first?"
