Chapter 345: So Good

Chapter 345: Chapter 345: So Good

A/N:2/3 Bonus Chapters

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

Morning: Annihilape and Kommo-o.

Afternoon: Toxicroak and Bewear.

Evening: Sirfetch’d and Gallade.

Six rounds of high-intensity battles in one day. That would guarantee Blaziken quickly adapted to his evolved body.

And if he had to fight them, Blaziken would not dare to eat beyond what he could digest during meals.

The four in the morning and afternoon were not very good at controlling their strength.

Since it was training, how could the results be good if they did not hit a little harder?

That was the slogan Julian sometimes shouted at them.

Sweat more in training, bleed less in battle.

Losing to your own people was better than losing to Pokémon outside.

Julian placed Sirfetch’d and Gallade in the evening because those two were comparatively more rational when they attacked.

That way, Blaziken would not have to stay under extreme pressure for the entire day.

Gallade’s elbow blades lit up with brilliant purple light.

He slashed out a purple blade of energy and knocked Blaziken down from mid-air.

Julian could not help shaking his head.

Gallade’s Psycho Cut had been heavy.

Blaziken still had not learned his lesson.

Jumping required the right timing. Otherwise, once he was in mid-air, he would become a target.

"Blaziken, use your Blaze Kick. Release flames from your feet to push your body. That way, you can adjust your position in the air."

Blaziken had just been knocked down by Psycho Cut, and his whole body felt weak from the impact.

Then he heard Julian’s advice.

When he thought about it, it actually sounded interesting.

After climbing up, he jumped into the sky and used Blaze Kick, releasing flames from his feet.

He really could move in the air.

Blaziken shouted excitedly.

"Blaziken!"

Gallade smiled and swung his elbow blades, slashing out a chain of Vacuum Waves.

The Vacuum Waves scattered around Blaziken. Although only two hit, they still interrupted Blaziken’s flame propulsion and knocked him down from the sky again.

Julian immediately said, "Blaziken, use Aerial Ace to adjust your posture!"

Blaziken followed the instruction, controlling his body as a gust of wind formed around him. He landed shakily on the ground.

He rushed forward several steps, but at least he did not fall.

Gallade’s expression showed excitement.

It was obvious that he was enjoying the fight.

Julian quietly said, "Gallade, control yourself a little."

He had thought Gallade was a calm older brother.

As it turned out, Gallade also felt his hands itch when faced with this completely new battle style that had appeared in the team.

One moment of excitement, and his attacks had become slightly stronger.

Gallade nodded, his expression immediately becoming serious again.

Gallade was doing it for Blaziken’s sake too.

After evolving, Blaziken had become a little too arrogant.

Blaziken’s jumping power was very strong. Although he had not reached the level of leaping over a thirty-story building, with effort, he should be able to jump up to the tenth floor.

In Johto, Falkner, the Gym Leader of Violet Gym, once claimed that his Dodrio could fly because it could jump so high.

With Blaziken’s jumping ability combined with flame propulsion, he could truly be said to fly!

Blaziken excitedly jumped again, flames bursting from his feet to push him forward.

This time, Gallade did not show Blaziken any mercy.

He directly slashed out a huge blade of wind towards Blaziken in the air.

Blaziken tried hard to release flames and dodge, but he was still a step too slow.

Amid a sharp burst of pain, Blaziken was once again knocked down from the sky by Gallade.

Wait, it doesn’t hurt?

Blaziken opened his eyes.

It turned out Gallade had used Psychic to catch his body and prevent him from crashing into the ground.

Gallade put Blaziken down, stretched out an elbow blade, and beckoned to him.

"Gallade."

Compared to jumping into the air, Blaziken should focus on improving his close-combat ability.

That was his foundation!

Blaziken also realised that he had become a little carried away.

Alright, not a little.

Very.

Blaziken took a stance, his claws glowing coldly as he charged forward.

Slash!

Gallade’s elbow blades also shone with white light, clashing with Blaziken’s claws.

Cut!

Both sides were using basic Normal-type moves to attack.

Strength, speed, reaction, move proficiency — Gallade surpassed Blaziken in every area.

Even as Speed Boost made Blaziken faster and faster, before Blaziken could fully make use of his speed advantage, Gallade’s blades would always suppress his attack first.

Blaziken felt extremely uncomfortable, but he could only endure it.

He wanted to pull away, but Gallade stuck close to him, refusing to let him create distance.

In that close exchange, Blaziken’s stamina was gradually carved away by Gallade’s blades.

Finally, Gallade kicked twice in succession. Blaziken staggered backwards, sat down heavily on the grass, and panted.

Blaziken waved his hand.

No more

He really could not fight anymore.

Three big brothers taking turns to bully one little brother.

Who could endure that?

Toxicroak, who had just rushed back, could only reveal a regretful expression.

Blaziken directly lay down on the ground.

No one was making him get up.

Julian could not help shaking his head.

"You’ve fought for so long. You must be hungry. Get up and eat."

Blaziken instantly sat upright and strode into the cafeteria, beginning to work hard on a beef leg.

So good!

Julian comforted Toxicroak.

"This kid only just evolved. Once he gets used to his body, it’ll be more effective for you to train with him."

"Don’t rush."

Toxicroak nodded.

His current mentality was very calm.

As long as Julian arranged for him to battle Blaziken, that was enough.

He did not necessarily have to fight for first place.

A relaxed mentality did not mean relaxed training.

With the calmest mindset, Toxicroak carried out the most intense training.

Yesterday, while everyone else went wandering around, Toxicroak was the last to return.

Last time, Toxicroak had fought the Croagunk in the Great Marsh.

This time, Toxicroak went to find them, of course not to battle.

Toxicroak thought that since the Great Marsh environment was so suitable for the Croagunk line to live in, then the poisonous mushrooms growing here must be the best tools for improving their toxins.

Toxicroak enthusiastically went to the Croagunk group to find a guide.

None of them dared to be careless, and they took Toxicroak around the places in the Great Marsh where poisonous mushrooms might grow again and again.

They really did help Toxicroak find several poisonous mushrooms he had never seen before, and the effects were quite good.

Even the poisonous mushrooms he had eaten before tasted better when they came from the Great Marsh.

The quality here was purer!

After eating more poisonous mushrooms from the here, Toxicroak felt that his toxin could rise another level.

Most importantly, using toxins to improve his physical condition worked better with the Great Marsh’s poisonous mushrooms, and there were no side effects.

Even now, Toxicroak still had a poisonous mushroom in his mouth.

Julian used Aura to inspect Toxicroak’s body.

"The potency of the toxins circulating in your body has increased by about ten percent."

Toxicroak took out a poisonous mushroom.

"Toxicroak."

Julian nodded.

"That’s fine. Later, I’ll take some Pokémon food and ask the Croagunk and Toxicroak to help collect poisonous mushrooms and dry them."

Toxicroak quickly finished all the poisonous mushrooms he had brought back.

Everyone thought he was just eating snacks.

None of them realised that Toxicroak was secretly getting stronger.

They only felt that his muscles were becoming tougher, and that his movement speed and attack speed were steadily improving.
