“Haha!” After mastering riding, Na Zi was like a child who had discovered a new continent, she had endless energy and kept riding.
Seeing Na Zi being so childish, Xiao Mao was speechless. How lonely was her childhood that she couldn't even ride a bike, even city kids wouldn't be like this.
“Na Zi, it's noon, time to rest.”
She kept riding until noon, if it weren't for Xiao Mao calling her to stop, she could have continued riding.
“Okay.”
While happy, Na Zi was still rational. She released her Grimer and started preparing lunch.
“Na Zi, after lunch, rest for an hour, then let your Pokémon do basic training for an hour, rest for another half hour and then set off.” Xiao Mao said.
“Train in the wild?” Na Zi questioned. She usually trains in the gym, she has never trained in the wild before.
“Traveling is like this, sometimes it takes a few days to reach a city. Training can't be intermittent, even if you can't do professional training during the trip, you still need to do some physical training to keep your Pokémon in good shape.” Xiao Mao said.
“Do I need to too?” Na Zi asked.
“Of course, your Alakazam is too fragile. Yesterday during your battle, if you hadn't used your psychic power to help offset some of the damage, your Alakazam wouldn't have been able to withstand a single Slash from your Scyther.” Xiao Mao said.
Na Zi was a bit embarrassed. She didn't expect her use of psychic power during the battle to be discovered.
“Are you a psychic too?” Na Zi asked.
“I'm not, but when you use psychic power, there will be blue energy fluctuations around you, anyone with eyes can see it.” Xiao Mao said.
“That was because I wasn't sensible before, I won't do that anymore.” Na Zi said.
“Then you should train Alakazam's physical fitness, let Alakazam construct its own protection using psychic power. Any Pokémon can mobilize the energy in its body to protect itself, but your Alakazam does very poorly in this regard, it's because you've been using psychic power to help it, that's why it's so unskilled.” Xiao Mao said.
“Oh.”
Na Zi nodded obediently. She wanted to learn from Xiao Mao, so when she heard about training Pokémon, she became like a good student who listens attentively.
“Then let's prepare food for the Pokémon together.” Xiao Mao said.
“Don't we have Grimer?” Na Zi wondered. She had never cooked by herself ever since she was a child.
“Grimer is just helping us. As a qualified Trainer, you need to know your Pokémon's preferences, and you also need to adjust the energy blocks you feed them according to their condition, all of which requires the Trainer to adjust themselves.”
Xiao Mao lectured, “You should at least come up with a complete plan, then let Grimer do it.”
“Trainers don't just need to command their Pokémon well in battle, shouldn't this be done by the breeders?” Na Zi said.
“Trainers are not as simple as you said. Trainers not only need to command their Pokémon well in battle, but they also need to be able to cultivate their own Pokémon. Every powerful Trainer, if not all-round in breeding, is definitely very professional when it comes to breeding their own Pokémon, more professional than some breeding masters.” Xiao Mao corrected.
“I didn't expect Trainers to do so much.” Na Zi had never known about this before, at the gym, breeders were always the ones who bred the Pokémon.
The Pokémon at the Golden Gym were indeed bred by breeders, but the feed recipes and training methods were all researched by Na Jun himself, and then passed on to the breeders to do.
Moreover, specially customized Pokémon feed are all a Trainer's unique recipes.
For example, at the breeding center, some Pokémon that are left at the breeding center can grow very well, that's because there are powerful breeders at the breeding center. This way, the business can always flourish.
Na Zi was very obedient and followed Xiao Mao to learn how to match the feed.
Pokémon feed matching is very simple, a fixed part of feed, some berries, and four energy blocks. The tastes of the Pokémon are different.
For example, Growlithe likes spicy food, Tangela and Alakazam like bitter food, Squirtle and Scyther both like fishy food, and Golbat likes bloody food.
“What is this berry?” Na Zi looked at the food Xiao Mao was preparing for Alakazam, there was a berry she didn't recognize, different from the berries provided to Alakazam at the gym.
“This is a Chesto Berry, it can help Pokémon get rid of confusion status. Psychic-type Pokémon need to meditate for a long time, and they also need to train their psychic powers, which can lead to mental confusion. The Chesto Berry can alleviate this state.” Xiao Mao introduced.
After all, functional berries like Chesto Berry are used to make spray potions, few people would feed them to Pokémon. Actually, Pokémon can also eat them. It can have a good auxiliary effect during training after eating.
“Oh.”
Na Zi nodded, her expression full of thirst for knowledge.
It has to be said, Na Zi is a willing student. Teachers usually like such students.
After the Pokémon finished their lunch, they rested for an hour and then started training. Na Zi watched from the side how Xiao Mao trained the Pokémon.
Because they were in the wild, the training was mainly for physical fitness.
Only Alakazam didn't need physical training for now, but Xiao Mao still gave Alakazam a Power Lens.
In the game, if you equip a Power Lens on a Pokémon, its speed will be halved, but its Special Attack effort values will be doubled after winning a battle.
In reality, the Power Lens is a very special item, it has no weight itself, but if you use psychic power to manipulate it, it will feel very heavy.
Alakazam sleeps most of the time, so it's not suitable for physical training at this time, it can only use the Power Lens to train its psychic power.
“Why do you want my Alakazam to do strength training?” Na Zi looked at Alakazam running panting, with a forced exercise device on its body, she felt a little heartache.
Even though Na Zi's level as a Trainer is not good, she chose Alakazam as her Pokémon. Of course, she knew what kind of Pokémon it was. This kind of Pokémon is inherently fragile, and training its physical fitness is not of much use.
“Alakazam is not Alakazam, Alakazam needs sleep to accumulate psychic power. Alakazam doesn't need to sleep for long, it must have certain close combat defense methods. Otherwise, what will it do if it encounters a Dark-type Pokémon?” Xiao Mao said.
“Alakazam can master Miracle Eye.” Na Zi said.
“I know, but can your Alakazam?” Xiao Mao asked.
Na Zi shook her head. Her Alakazam had not awakened the Miracle Eye skill.
