Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

The electric sac on Pikachu's cheek occasionally flashed with worry when Ash was knocked down, but more often it was an affirmation of the trainer's perseverance.

After all, Pikachu has suffered quite a bit during its training.

Of Ash's current Pokémon, only Misdreavus hasn't suffered much.

Secondly, there's Pidgey.

After all, Pidgey's role is that of a bomber, so it doesn't need to do much close combat.

However, Pikachu isn't actually the one who suffers the most or the most.

Gyarados suffers the most.

It's incredibly difficult for a Pokémon like Gyarados to overcome its inherent nature.

The bond between Pokémon and their trainers is built up little by little in this daily life.

Work together.

Let's work together.

Growing together.

Let's move forward together.

This wasn't just something said; it was something done through concrete actions.

If a trainer is lazy and doesn't work hard.

Are you expecting Pokémon to train themselves to death?

It's true that some Pokémon may naturally enjoy rigorous training.

But would a Pokémon that loves to train hard really agree with a trainer who is incredibly lazy?

And next to Pikachu.

Dream demons present a completely different picture.

It floated there.

He would close his eyes from time to time, but couldn't help opening them to peek.

Seeing Ash get slammed onto the mat again by a slingshot, it let out a startled cry.

The dream demon's big eyes instantly filled with tears, on the verge of sobbing, her heart aching terribly, wishing she could rush over immediately and use illusions to interfere with the fan fight.

Then he was stopped by a weak, warning electric spark from Pikachu—this was the path Ash chose himself.

Another bustling scene was in a corner of the dojo.

Charmeleon was surrounded by a group of Fighting-type Pokémon.

Intense Monkey is furiously demonstrating to it how to instantly increase punching speed by unleashing bursts of anger.

The Flying Kick Man demonstrates how to perfectly transfer the power of the waist and legs to the kick.

Hercules demonstrated with its single horn the precision of its horn strikes and how to withstand the force of a counterattack.

Even the enormous, powerful creature patiently used two of its four arms to correct the coordination between the Charizard's shoulders and hips when it threw a punch.

And this kind of teaching, of course, is also done with fists.

Charmeleon got really badly beaten.

But the more he was hit, the more excited he became.

Charmeleon: That's it!

Charmeleon: I feel myself growing!

Charmeleon glanced at Ash with its eyes slanted.

Charmeleon: I'm a Pokémon, how can I be inferior to a Trainer?!

Charmeleon: I don't want to be unable to beat my own trainer!

Therefore, Charmeleon studied with extreme focus.

It imitated, tried, and then inevitably, was also "sparred" with by these "predecessors" in the same way.

They were defeated.

Get up.

To be defeated again.

Get up again.

Its body was covered with new scratches and bruises, but the flames on its tail burned more fiercely than ever before, and the fighting spirit and satisfaction in its eyes were almost overflowing.

It could clearly feel that with each fall and rise, its body became more adept at using its strength, and its understanding of combat deepened.

This visible growth makes it happy.

--war!

Time flew by amidst sweat and collisions.

When Xiaozhi felt as if his limbs were filled with lead, making it extremely difficult to even lift his arms, and each breath was accompanied by a burning pain.

When Charmeleon was so tired that it could barely stand on its own two feet with its tail, it still refused to fall down.

Shan Dou finally called a halt to tonight's special training.

Although fighters must use their willpower to surpass their limits.

However, the body has its limits, so daily training should focus on maintenance.

If you ruin your body through training, how can you use your willpower to surpass your limits?

laugh.

The combat sports industry is actually 30% training, 70% diet, and the rest is all about maintenance.

"Alright! That's enough for tonight! Too much of a good thing can be bad!" Fan Dou looked at the man and dragon, who were almost exhausted, and nodded in satisfaction.

He personally brought over two large bowls of steaming, fragrant soup, as well as specially made energy cubes for the Charizard, a mixture of various tree fruits and minerals.

"Eat! This is a secret recipe from the dojo that can quickly restore physical strength, relieve muscle soreness, and strengthen bones and muscles!"

Then Shan Dou took out professional medicated oil and skillfully began to massage and relax Xiao Zhi.

With each press and knead from his calloused hands, Xiao Zhi felt his sore and stiff muscles gradually melt away.

"Woo——"

how to say?

It's very refreshing, but also a bit sour.

This feeling is even harder to bear than pain.

"Rumble~" Charmeleon squinted its eyes and made a pleasant purring sound in its throat.

The one massaging the Charizard was Mighty.

In terms of physical endurance, Charmeleon is also stronger than Ash.

Ultimately, Charmeleon is still a Pokémon.

It's still the kind of Pokémon with decent physical abilities.

With the combined effects of dietary supplements and massage, extreme fatigue surged in like a tide.

Ash and Charmeleon practically supported each other as they staggered back to the guest room arranged by the dojo.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia had already gone to sleep.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly washed up, then collapsed onto the tatami mat. Almost the instant he touched the bedding, his consciousness sank into darkness.

Charizard curled up beside him, its tail flames fading into a steady little flame, emitting even snores.

"Mama!" Misdreavus came close to Ash's face, its big eyes looking at Ash's tired face.

"Pikachu~ Pikachu~" Pikachu shook its head helplessly and turned off the light by itself.

Pikachu: Why do I feel like an old woman?

Watching the moonlight stream through the window and gently bathe everyone.

Pikachu's lips curled into a barely perceptible upward curve.

very nice.

……

……

Meanwhile, Shan Dou also joined their online group.

After all, the communication between fighters is still very close.

Martial arts training is developed through these exchanges between opponents.
