The Blastoise, all of them, diligently put on the forced training devices on the ground and started skill training.
“Bi...!”
Pidgeotto was stunned. It was the first time it had seen its trainer train Pokemon in this way.
Pidgeotto also had its own flight training, but the training volume was far less than that of Blastoise and the others.
Pidgeotto had always thought that its strength ranked among the top in Satoshi's Pokemon team, but seeing the training volume of these Pokemon, it suddenly felt the gap between itself and Satoshi's Pokemon.
Especially thinking about the battle with Golbat, its speed had been completely crushed by Golbat.
For bird-type Pokemon like Pidgeotto, speed was their most proud advantage. Being surpassed in speed would make Pidgeotto very unwilling.
“Bi!” Pidgeotto couldn't bear it anymore. It pointed at Golbat training in the air with its wings, wanting to put on the forced training device Golbat was wearing.
“You just joined the team, I suggest you take a look first,” Satoshi said.
“Bi!” Pidgeotto shook its head in refusal. It was the king of birds, how could it easily admit defeat.
“Alright, then try putting it on.” Satoshi was helpless. He took out a forced training device and simply adjusted it to the size suitable for Pidgeotto.
“You have to be ready. Once you press the button, the forced training device will restrain you and make it difficult for you to move,” Satoshi reminded.
The forced training device was specifically for training the Pokemon's body. Ordinary Pokemon would be very uncomfortable wearing it at the beginning.
“Bi!”
Pidgeotto urged Satoshi to start quickly. It was ready for everything.
Seeing this, Satoshi also pressed the switch on the forced training device.
In an instant, Pidgeotto's spread wings were folded together, and its body was restrained into a ball.
“Bi...!”
Pidgeotto didn't expect the restraint to be so strong. It immediately used force to spread its body again, gasping for breath. It was just Pidgeotto's first attempt. With its physical strength, it could still resist the restraint of the forced training device.
Moreover, Satoshi hadn't set the restraint to the highest level, so Pidgeotto could still cope.
“Bi!”
Pidgeotto flapped its wings, slowly flew up, and even deliberately flew to Golbat's side, indicating that it could also do the same training as you.
“Da...”
Golbat was helpless. Why did it have to attract an opponent for no reason? It was a real headache for the bat.
Satoshi didn't care, thinking about how to get his hands on a Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's evolution requirements were very high, requiring Rhydon to reach level 42 before it could evolve. Only Rhydon with Gym potential could reach level 40 or above.
There were Rhydon in the Kanto region's hunting grounds, but... Rhydon with Gym potential was quite rare, and wild Tyranitar was also hard to come by.
Satoshi did know that when Satoshi and his team were traveling in the Johto region, they encountered a Tyranitar that could use Surf in Azalea Town. It was likely that this Tyranitar had a high potential.
But Satoshi wasn't sure about its specific hiding location, and going all the way to the Johto region to capture a Tyranitar seemed a bit unnecessary.
Satoshi planned to go to the hunting grounds first and see what the potential of the Rhydon there was like.
If it didn't work, he would have to use his financial power...!
Today was the last day staying in Fuchsia City, and tomorrow, Satoshi and Natsue would set off on their journey again, heading towards Viridian City.
The distance between Fuchsia City and Viridian City was quite far. Even if Satoshi and Natsue rode there, it would take about ten days to get there, assuming they spent all their time traveling.
Satoshi would also need to train his Pokemon along the way, and if he encountered any unexpected events, it would take even more time. It might take half a month to get there, even though it's said to be ten days.
......!
Ten days later.
Satoshi and Natsue were taking a lunch break in a vacant area.
Satoshi was supervising the training of his Pokemon.
While they couldn't do any special training in ten days, the Pokemon had all improved slightly.
Blastoise LV39—40!
Golbat LV32—33!
Growlithe LV18—20!
Mankey LV31—33!
Eevee LV23—24!
Pidgeotto LV30—32!
Blastoise's level improvement was stable, breaking through to level 40. At this level, in the Indigo League, it could already reach the top 32 or even the top 16.
Then there was Mankey and Pidgeotto. These two guys were very excited about training.
Mankey was passionate about fighting, so it was very dedicated during training.
Pidgeotto wanted to surpass Golbat, but after seeing the more dedicated Mankey, Pidgeotto had another competitor.
Although Satoshi wasn't very supportive of excessive internal competition within the team, if the Pokemon actively wanted to compete, he wouldn't stop them.
“Natsue, the hot spring resort near here is very close. Do you want to go to the hot springs together?” After training, Satoshi looked at the map and found that there was a hot spring resort not far away, just right to rest there.
They had been in the wild for ten days, and they needed to restock some daily necessities.
“Sure, I've never been to a hot spring.” Natsue was also interested.
There were no hot springs in Pallet Town. Although there were places to bathe, this kind of natural hot spring was still something she wanted to try.
“Let's go then.”
The two got on their mountain bikes and headed towards their destination according to the map.
About an hour later, Satoshi and Natsue heard a roar from behind. They turned back and saw a line of buses heading towards them on the downhill slope.
“Hm? Why are there so many buses?” Satoshi was puzzled. This was the wilderness. At most, there would be a long-distance bus occasionally, not so many buses appearing at once.
“Maybe they are all coming to the hot springs,” Natsue said.
“Probably.”
After all, wild hot spring resorts were still very attractive. However, if there were too many people, it would greatly affect the hot spring experience.
The two didn't care about the buses behind them and continued riding towards their destination. However, after riding for about half an hour, the road ahead was blocked. There was a big pit in front, filled with concrete pipes, as if there had been a traffic accident.
Next to the pit, there were four people standing. Three of them were familiar to Satoshi.
The three people were Satoshi's team. Since they parted ways in Viridian City, Satoshi hadn't seen them again. He didn't expect to meet them here.
Satoshi's team was talking to a middle-aged man wearing a construction uniform.
Satoshi immediately thought of Diglett. It seemed that in the original plot, Satoshi met Satoshi's team because of Diglett.
He thought that his appearance would change some of the plot, but he didn't expect that the two of them would still meet. He could only say...fate... was wonderful.
