Pokémon: I am One Piece

Early the next morning, Zeye and Kerni were woken up by Cocobul. The special training uniforms made by the Sara Gym made Zeye look particularly energetic and handsome.Sawano was full of energy for the next practice at the Tower of Refining.

"Zawaye, you're not looking forward to it, are you?"

"You look so bitter, is it difficult to practice in the Tower of Refining?"

"Hey, I went there once to get Riolu's eggs, and then I never wanted to go there again."

"Oh, can you tell me more specifically?" Korni's words not only did not make Zeye retreat, but instead aroused his interest.

"This practice is all about torturing trainers. Did you see the tower on the island in the distance?"

"Is that the Tower of Refining?"

"Well, after the tide recedes, we will first have to hike to the island, then climb the tower, and finally have to return the same way. After this trip, not to mention humans, even if the strange force comes, they will not be able to withstand it."

"It's indeed quite hard." Sawano looked at the approximate distance and understood how difficult this practice was.No wonder Kerni looked like she was dying.

"Come on, old man, didn't I accompany you too? I am an old man and I didn't say anything. You young people can't bear the slightest pain."

"Grandpa, can that be the same? You've already gotten used to it, okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's warm up first."

Korni couldn't convince her grandfather, so she could only do warm-up exercises with him. Seeing this, Zeye and the Swamp Monster quickly kept up with their pace.

The island is actually not very high above sea level, but the way up there is extremely winding and winding, with stone paths that make it particularly strenuous to walk.Sawano usually doesn't exercise much, so after walking less than a third of the way, his calves started to tremble.

Korni was even worse than Sawano. She had to crawl on the ground with her hands to barely move forward.

"Master... Master, Hugh... take a rest. Your precious granddaughter is almost... almost exhausted."

Looking at the eager eyes of the two people, Cocobul sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's rest for a while."

"I'm exhausted. Grandpa, are your bones made of iron? You can walk for so long without losing your breath." Korni drank most of the bottle of water and couldn't stop sweating.

Zeye wiped his sweat and looked at him curiously. Compared with Cocobul, they seemed like little old men. Their physical fitness was completely unlike that of an old man in his 60s.

"I won't say anything about Zeye. You will inherit the Sara Gym in the future. As a fighter, you can't even endure this kind of hardship. It would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it."

"But I'm a girl! If I practice like this every day, sooner or later I'll turn into King Kong Barbie. It's too ugly. I don't want it."

"What do you know? Muscles are the most beautiful lines. Look at Zeye, a researcher who never leaves the house all day long. His physical fitness is much better than yours."

Korni originally thought Zeye was her savior, but since he came, not only has she not been relaxed at all, but her grandfather often compares him with herself, which makes her almost resentful of Zeye.

"Okay, enough rest, let's get on the road!"

Korni wailed, asked Riolu to fold a small stick for her, and walked up slowly step by step.

After more than two hours, the group finally reached the island and arrived at the bottom of the Refining Tower.

Zeye leaned on the big stone and looked at the Salo City on the seaside. He was so tired that he didn't want to move.Looking at Cocobul again, apart from his rosy complexion, there was nothing unusual about him. Whether he was pretending or not, Zeye admired him from the bottom of his heart.

"This is the dojo of our Sara Gym. Because you have to wait until the tide goes out before you can get to the island, so there aren't many challengers on weekdays."

"No wonder there aren't many, the challenger is already exhausted before reaching the gym." Sawano couldn't help but complain.

"Hahaha, we just took the road of trial, and we usually let them take shortcuts."

"This is the Tower of Refining. It feels like it has a long history."

"Lucario is the first Pokémon in the world to undergo super evolution. Bratano has told you this."

"Ah."

"A long time ago, our ancestors brought Lucario to this island and accidentally discovered two mysterious stones on the island. Then Lucario underwent a magical evolution. Later, Super Lucario Oh has become the strength of our family that will be passed down from generation to generation.”

"I see. No wonder Dr. Buratano said the secret of super evolution is hidden here!"

"Actually, there is no secret. It's just some insights, but it will be somewhat helpful to you. Let's go on and let Korni take you to the top of the tower. I'm going to meet today's challenger."

"I will handle it!"

Without the supervision of Cocobul, the two of them were obviously much more relaxed, and they even had some fun joking while climbing the tower.

"Kerni, how long will this practice last?"

"It's early. Grandpa said when we can climb from the other side of the sea to the top of the Refining Tower in one go, we will be qualified without taking a break in the middle."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to pass in a short period of time."

"Hey~ Originally I could wait until Riolu evolved before starting to practice, but I didn't expect that as soon as you arrived, you would immediately advance it."

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for you." Hearing the complaint in her tone, Sawano apologized quickly.

"It doesn't matter, it will happen sooner or later. I have trials ahead of me, so this bit of practice is actually nothing."

"What is the trial?" Sawano asked curiously.

"This is my test to become the leader of the Sara Gym. We will only provide key stones. Lucario's super fossils have to be found by myself. After I find the super evolution stone and master the super evolution, I will The trial is considered complete.”

"Looking for a super evolution stone in the entire Kalos, isn't it like finding a needle in a haystack?"

"Don't you know? Lucario can sense the location of the super evolution stone. It's not as difficult as you think."

"induction?"

"Yes, Lucario can react with the Lucario Mega Evolution Stone. My grandfather used this to get the Mega Evolution Stone."

"Is this sense unique to Lucario, or is it possessed by all Pokémon?" Sawano sounded excited, as if he had suddenly discovered the key to the matter.

"I don't know about this. After all, I'm just an ordinary trainer."

Sawano wrote this down and prepared to go back to Dr. Buratano to discuss it.

The top of the Tower of Refining records the process of Korni's ancestors discovering Lucario's super evolution, and it also depicts some techniques for using super evolution.

Zeye finally understood the purpose of Cocobul asking him to practice with the giant swamp monster. On the one hand, it was to enhance the physical strength of the two of them, and more to exercise their cooperation.

This practice made Sawano realize that he had relied too much on the talents of the water people, and instead neglected getting along with Pokémon.Although practicing is tiring, it has a different meaning.
