The Path of a Genius to Becoming a Pokémon Champion

Chapter 198: Washi Haidayo~

After Arthur's demonstration ended, it was Frogadier's turn, and the situation immediately reversed.

These Azumarill were actually not weak at all.

After all, they were a Fairy-type clan that had managed to survive tenaciously in a conservation area ruled by Dragonite and Kingdra; their strength was definitely up to par.

It was common knowledge that dragons disliked fairies.

The two ruling clans of the Crescent Bay Reserve were both Dragon-types. For the Water/Fairy-type Azumarill to be able to take root here, without being driven into the deep sea, was in itself a testament to their clan's strength.

They weren't weak just now; it was simply that Arthur was too ridiculously strong…

Now that Frogadier was up, they immediately regained their flair.

But even with the situation being one-sided, they no longer dared to strike heavily, all of them very consciously stopping short.

The way they looked at Frogadier was as compassionate as a Bodhisattva's gaze.

Even though Arthur repeatedly emphasized for them to let go of their worries, not a single Azumarill dared to throw a heavy punch.

It couldn't be helped; they were truly terrified by the earlier demonstration, and their mentality had already been crushed before this powerhouse.

Considering it was only the first day of training, Arthur didn't demand too much.

After Frogadier finished getting beaten up in the morning, Arthur gave it a massage and physiotherapy. Mismagius also helped by releasing "Aromatherapy" to alleviate its muscle damage.

At noon, the Azumarill helped them catch fish. Coupled with the pure water that Water-type Pokémon skills could provide, Arthur didn't have to worry about food or drink on this deserted island.

In the afternoon, Arthur took Frogadier to the east side of the island, selecting a reef area with particularly strong winds and waves.

"Go, pick a reef, sit on it, and you are only allowed to use Water Pulse to shatter the incoming waves. You are not allowed to use any other skills. Sit on the reef for as long as possible. This is your training content for the afternoon."

It had been mentioned before that Frogadier's understanding of Water-type moves was always lacking; it was too specialized in Dark-type moves.

The reason for choosing to train at sea this time was to specifically address this weakness, so Arthur had specially arranged "Water Pulse" training for it.

Frogadier was, after all, a Water-type Pokémon.

Besides, its signature move after evolution, "Water Shuriken," was also a Water-type move.

An insufficient understanding of water energy was unacceptable.

So, it needed extra training!

After actually sitting on the reef, Frogadier quickly realized that Arthur's requirement was not simple at all!

The waves came too fast and too densely!

The power of nature was silent and majestic.

With the slightest carelessness, its half-baked "Water Pulse" failed to shatter a wave, and in the blink of an eye, it was washed off the reef.

Specter and Mismagius floated together behind it. If they saw Frogadier get seriously injured, they would step in to save it.

But before that, no matter how battered Frogadier became from the waves, bruised and swollen, they would not help.

Since it had decided to train, how could it harbor cowardice?!

At the same time, Arthur had also arranged training for Little Lapras.

"You too. Stand on the reef, no using Water-type skills. Use only your freezing breath to intercept the waves. When you can instantly freeze an incoming wave into ice, your training will be a success."

Little Lapras's main training this time was in ice energy.

The problem of being unbalanced wasn't unique to Frogadier; it was also present in Little Lapras.

Just the opposite of Frogadier, Little Lapras was biased towards Water-type.

The Crescent Bay Reserve was located in the tropics. In the past, when Little Lapras lived here, it was inconvenient to release Ice-type skills.

Furthermore, after her mother left, she was only surrounded by a group of Water-type Milotic; there was no one to teach her Ice-type skills.

Now, Little Lapras only had two Ice-type skills: Ice Shard and Icy Wind.

The power of both moves was average, and her mastery of them was also average.

This was clearly not enough.

In Arthur's view, she had to at least master the core Ice-type move "Ice Beam" to have a hope of stepping over the professional-level threshold in the short term.

With his own Pokémon's special training arranged, Justin didn't think he could escape either.

"You! Come over here with me. Do push-ups on this rock. Have Marill sit on your back."

"No, Bro, Bro Arthur! I came here with you to train my Pokémon, not to train myself! I, uh... don't! Bro Arthur, no!"

Unfortunately, his protests were futile and were suppressed by Arthur in minutes.

This time, even the little Marill didn't save him.

"Master is valuable, games are more so, but for the sake of one's own life, both can be thrown away."

Arthur just glanced at it coolly, and the little Marill immediately behaved.

This human was too scary; its own life was more important.

Master, just endure it. A little training won't kill you… probably.

After two hours of training on the reef in the afternoon, Arthur called Frogadier back, once again giving it a massage, physiotherapy, and treatment.

After it had rested well, he took it to the highest cliff on the east side of the island.

"Jump. You know the drill."

Arthur gave it a look, and Frogadier instantly understood. It then took a leap, jumping down from the ten-meter-high seaside cliff.

Justin, watching from behind, was terrified.

And Arthur's next words made his liver tremble.

"Don't slack off on your physical training. In half a month, you'll be jumping with him. If you don't jump, I'll kick you down. I'm serious."

"..."

The light in Justin's eyes gradually faded.

He repeated to himself in his heart: I'm so stupid, really…

In the evening, after eating the fish soup the Azumarill helped make, the Pokémon gathered around to listen to Arthur impart his combat experience, especially experience in fighting humanoid opponents.

Even Justin's Pidgeotto landed on the ground to listen to this part with great interest, looking thoughtful from time to time.

At this moment, Justin's admiration for Arthur once again surged.

Bro Arthur is truly amazing!

He didn't know how someone so young could know so much.

It was as if he were a born warrior!

Of course, this admiration only lasted until bedtime.

Because when he woke up, Justin immediately felt sore all over, a feeling worse than death!

At this point, no amount of admiration could withstand the physical pain.

The torment of his body gave his spirit courage. When Arthur came to pull him for the morning run again, he finally bravely faced his heart and, courting death, shouted—

"Bro Arthur, f*ck your ancestors!"

Subsequently, Arthur quickly taught him that courage often comes at a price.

By the third day of training, Justin felt that the soreness from the second morning didn't seem so unbearable anymore—

Because on the third day, his pain came back, super-doubled…

From then on, his whole demeanor during the day became abstract. Whenever he closed his eyes, it was as if he could hear that familiar melody:

Washi haidayo, washi haidayo~

Time flew by in this monotonous yet fulfilling daily training.

During this period, Little Lapras's family, that group of Milotic, even came to visit, expressing their condemnation and disdain for Arthur.

Arthur had clearly entered the conservation area under the banner of bringing Little Lapras home for a visit, but after he actually came in, he hadn't even gone near the gate of Coral Island.

He was a regular old swindler.

During their visit, thanks to the Milotic's help, many vegetables and fruits were delivered to the island to prevent them from getting sick of eating fish all the time.

Just like that, a month flew by—

Frogadier's progress was as if aided by the gods!
