Pokémon: The Bold Rat

I came to the leftmost room on the second floor of the training hall and opened the locked door with ease. "Click!" The entire training room was enveloped in bright light.

Now this training room is almost exclusively used by him, which can be regarded as an invisible benefit given to him by the school after he got first place in the joint entrance examination.

"Kuga!"

The sandmouse, seeing so many tools for the first time, cried out in surprise, then looked here and knocked there with great interest.

Zhao Yiyuan did not stop this. It was a good thing that Sandshrew was interested in it.

After it had turned a circle, the boy took it to a treadmill.

"Let's test your physical fitness first, Sandshrew."

"Kuja~"

The ice-blue little guy had no objection to this and jumped up immediately.

"Little Rada, you come too. Today is the first week. It's time for us to retest the data."

"Purada (???_??)?!"

Hearing this, little Rada also jumped onto another treadmill.

"Drip~"

With the sounds of two switches, the conveyor belt began to move rapidly.

Correspondingly, Rattata and Sandshrew also started running using all four limbs. At the beginning, both of them were very relaxed, but when Zhao Yiyuan increased the speed, the Sandshrew was obviously struggling a lot.

"Huchi~huchi"

The current speed is equivalent to the average speed of a general late-stage apprentice elf, so Rattata can naturally handle it with ease.

"Kuga!"

The sandshrew was about to stop, but when he saw the big brother rat next to him who was not even sweating, he gritted his teeth and continued running.

I am a sand mouse. Although I eat a lot, I must have good physical strength!

But just like a last gasp, physical fatigue could not be resisted by momentary passion, and soon its speed slowed down again, and it was almost teleported away by the tracks.

"Purada~Rada╮(￣▽￣)╭"

No way, no way, you eat so much, how could you be exhausted so soon?

Shushu, I haven't even used half of my strength~

Seeing that his new companion was about to give up, little Rada, receiving a signal from his eyes, immediately shouted twice in contempt.

"Sandrat, don't let your physical fatigue break your will. I know you haven't reached your limit yet!"

In response to this, Zhao Yiyuan, who was also measuring his physical fitness on the treadmill, also interjected.

He can see the physical strength and energy consumption of his own elves in more detail.

It can be seen that although the Sandshrew has turned red, it has not been completely consumed. With the example of Rattata as a reference, he understands that there is still great potential to be explored in the red area.

"Kuja! Ku! (?˙o˙)?"

After hearing the trainer's encouragement and seeing Rattata's contemptuous eyes, Sandshrew, who was tricked by the red-face and white-face tactics, decisively mobilized the little energy in his body and continued to run "puff ~ puff".

This made the young man who was observing secretly nodded in his heart.

How should I put it? When you are extremely tired, everyone knows that if you persist, you will definitely be able to break through your limits, and you also know that your body still has some residual strength.

But knowing is one thing, and being willing to do it is another.

After all, the feeling of exhausting your physical strength is really uncomfortable, and your body’s self-protection mechanism has been sending you signals: I want to rest, I want to rest!

Without strong self-control, most people simply can't hold on.

However, at present, Sandshrew's character is still good. He can go back to Rattata's old path of exploring his limits. With the help of God's rewards for hard work, it shouldn't take long for him to have a certain combat power.

After running for another half an hour, the sandrat's ice armor was covered with sweat and a large area of ​​the conveyor tracks was wet.

"Ku~Kujia~Ku~"

Just when it felt dizzy and saw the double images of three trainers, the treadmill stopped with a "beep".

"Kuga!"

The sudden braking caused the mole to lose its balance and fall directly onto the tracks.

"Come, drink some salt water."

After picking it up gently, Zhao Yiyuan handed it a teacup with a sandrat head printed on it.

"Ku~"

"GuluGulu~"

After taking a few big gulps, the sandshrew felt that he was finally a little alive. When he was about to find a posture to lie down and rest, he was picked up by the boy again.

"No, Sandshrew. After a long run, you can't just rest. You need to walk around slowly for a while. You can walk around slowly and observe Rattata's training."

"Kuga?"

Hearing this, the mole holding the small water cup looked at Brother Rat in confusion.

"Purada~?w?"

Noticing his younger brother's gaze, Little Rada immediately signaled that he needed to speed up!

Get out of the way, it's time for me, Shushu, to show off again!

The conveyor belt, which was still in the apprenticeship stage, suddenly adjusted to the excellent level of a junior elf after two "beeping" sounds.

"Zizzi~zizi~"

The sound of the machine rotating at high speed was heard, but the little Rada on the tracks still maintained its calm appearance, except that the frequency of its limbs moving was more than twice faster than before.

"Kuga(=?Д?=)!"

The mole was stunned!

Looking at its claws and shorter legs which were obviously thicker than those of the little Rattata, it couldn't understand why it couldn't burst out at the same speed when it was obviously both rats and it ate more and was stronger?

"Haha, don't worry, Sandshrew. As long as you train seriously according to my requirements, you will be able to reach that level soon."

"Pulada!"

After Zhao Yiyuan spoke, little Rada, as the representative, also affirmed.

"Kuja! (?o?o?)"

Yeah~ Shushu, I will definitely train hard!

Successfully pu... Oh no, the successfully persuaded Sandshrew just nodded and agreed.

Little did he know that this kind of extreme training would often accompany him in the future.

Next, after the Sandshrew recovered, Zhao Yiyuan took it to test its dodging, burst and other aspects.

The results are all okay, average, and ranked above average in the same realm.

Of course, Sandshrew, who was completely crushed by Rattata, didn't think so and was in a low mood.

"Kuja~Kuja~"

Am I really a carby who eats too much?

Although there is a gap in strength between it and Rattata, it is definitely normal that it is not as strong as the stronger Big Rat.

But it is impossible that the difference in each score would be 2-3 times!

"Alright, alright, Sandshrew. Next we'll start training you on your moves. Then you'll discover the secret to Rattata's strength.

You should know that this is a special ability I give you.

As long as you train hard, you will get stronger quickly! ”

Seeing the mole rat looking so devastated and doubting its future, Zhao Yiyuan, as the instigator, felt a little amused and then offered his own sweet treat.

"Kuga?"

Moves? What is the relationship between moves and physical fitness?

The sandrat's black gemstone eyes were full of confusion.

"Here, use the Rip Claw once, on that target."

Zhao Yiyuan did not explain too much about Sandshrew's doubts, but brought it to the target for training techniques.

"Kuga!"

Although its big eyes were full of confusion, the sandmouse still obeyed the order, raised its right paw, and rushed towards the target with a "puff"!

Only three white lights flashed by, and then a line of text appeared on the target.

[Power rating: late apprenticeship stage.]

Well, if a mid-level trainee uses precious moves, the damage alone can indeed reach that of a late-level trainee.

However, the mole rat was not surprised. Instead, it touched its smooth head, with more confusion in its eyes.

I don’t know why, but after using this set of moves, my brain seems to have a deeper understanding of the Tearing Claws?

[Sandrat used the Tearing Claw once, proficiency +1! ]

Of course it doesn't know that this is God's reward for its hard work.

Only Zhao Yiyuan can see the panel prompts.

Of course, unlike Rattata, Sandshrew can sense some differences right away because the Ripping Claw is a move inherited from its bloodline and engraved in its DNA, so it is easier to comprehend than ordinary moves.

"That's right, your feeling is not wrong, this is the ability I give you as a trainer.

As long as you train hard, your understanding of the moves will deepen every time you train, instead of just practicing hard like before without knowing whether you have made any progress or not. "

"For example, the Tearing Claw that you just used, if you practice it about 900 times, you can reach the mastery level.

But I suggest you practice the most basic grab 100 times first, until you are proficient in it, and then practice the tearing claw.

Grasping is the foundation of all claw attack techniques. If you don’t lay a good foundation, other techniques will become increasingly difficult to practice later.”

After listening to Zhao Yiyuan's sermon, Sandshrew nodded as if he understood, and then went to practice catching moves with excitement on his face.

Just like Rattata who has just been exposed to this talent, his enthusiasm for training is high!

[Sandrat used his claw once, proficiency +1! ]

[Sandrat used his claw once, proficiency +1! ]

……

He could clearly see that the Sandshrew's proficiency was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In contrast, although Rattata, who has mastered most of the moves, is also training hard, his progress is still less than the requirement of 10,000 times for the master level.

It is now mainly practicing the two moves of digging holes and surprise attacks. The previous joint examination of three schools has made Zhao Yiyuan understand the practicality of these two moves in actual combat, so he also plans to practice them to perfection.

As for the half-baked Shadow Clone Technique, even after having practiced it to proficiency it still cannot achieve the desired effect, most likely it is because of the mental control.

This can only allow little Rada to learn telekinesis!

It’s a pity that Teacher Leng doesn’t know how to do it, otherwise it would have been put on the agenda long ago.

Although telekinesis techniques are not very powerful, they are the basis of all mental attack techniques. Elves without supernatural talents, even if they can learn this, will not be able to perform any function with their weak mental strength.

For example, Butterfree!

Not to mention, as long as it is related to super powers, the price will increase several times, so unless you are sure that the elves under your command have super powers, no one will spend the money to learn telekinesis.

Fortunately, Teacher Leng agreed to find a friend to teach little Rada telekinesis, so there was a solution.

However, after only two or three hours of practice, the sandshrew came over tiptoeing and looking rather embarrassed.

"Kuja~"

"What's wrong, Sandshrew? Are you feeling too bored?"

Zhao Yiyuan, who was practicing Rolling Stone Fist, didn't understand what it meant and started preaching directly:

"Training is not something you can do half-heartedly. Look at little Rada. When he gets tired, he takes a short break and then gets up right away to continue training.

How can you catch up with it like this, so..."

Just when the mole was confused, a strange cry of "Gu..." suddenly rang out again.

Directly interrupted the boy's preaching.

The ice-blue molehill covered its stomach in embarrassment.

"Kuja~Kuja~"

I, I'm not lazy, Shushu, I'm just hungry again (???????)

Through little Rada's retelling, Zhao Yiyuan understood what it meant this time.

This surprised the man and the mouse a little!

Didn’t you just eat two and a half hours ago? Why are you eating again?

Of course, after opening the Sandshrew's panel and seeing that it was indeed hungry, he would naturally not withhold food.

However, the elf food was all kept in his own cupboard, and there were only some snacks for energy replenishment in the bag.

"Eat this first, Sandshrew. I'll go home and get your food bag later."

He first handed over two high-purity energy bars and assured the mole while touching its soft belly.

"Kuja~Kuja~"

The little guy, who had been hungry for a long time, was not picky. Although it was not as delicious as the previous food, the energy bar tasted good.

He immediately started to bite it with a "crunching sound"!

Taking advantage of this time, he asked little Rada to take care of the mole rats, and he quickly returned home to bring back the two bags of feed.

Fortunately, it was the teachers’ apartment and was very close.

So in just a moment, Zhao Yiyuan, panting, brought over the bowl.

After mixing the ice feed and ground feed in the same proportion, he placed it in front of the eagerly waiting sandrat.

"Kuja! (???w??｀)"

The excited mole immediately started eating with big mouthfuls, and soon the level of food in the bowl began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This made the boy believe that the mole rat seemed to be really hungry!

"Pulada~Rada~"

Just as he was sighing in his heart, little Rada pulled his trouser leg with his mouth.

"What's wrong, little Rattata?"

The boy, who understood what the little guy meant, followed little Rada to a corner, and then little Rada jumped onto his shoulder and spoke in a low voice.

"Purada~Rada!"

"Rada~Rada~"

……

Seeing the little guy's worried look, Zhao Yiyuan smiled, rubbed his head, and comforted him:

"Don't worry, little Rada. Even if a sand rat eats six meals a day, I can still afford it now. I won't cut back on my own expenses.

Besides, being able to eat is a blessing. Mole rats are such big eaters, they may have some hidden health condition. We can be said to have found a treasure this time.

It will be a good partner and helper for you and me in the future!"

That’s right, little Rada pulled Zhao Yiyuan to a corner and told him the information he had heard from Sandshrew.

We learned from him that the sandmouse has to eat six meals a day in the breeding house, and even then it is not enough to fill them up.

So he was a little worried about whether this new companion had any health problems. Besides that, he was also worried about his wallet as a trainer.
