Chapter 37: Attack of Pogaman, Results of Special Training
Xiaoyun walked up to Pogaman and squatted down, intending to give Pogaman some soup to cheer him up. He looked into Pogaman's eyes and said, "Little Pogaman, don't you want to overcome your fear and be Xiaoguang's first Pokémon to appear on the stage?"
"Boga."
Pogamon nodded. In his heart, he really wanted to be the first to appear, but he felt a little dizzy. He felt dizzy when he started to spin.
Very good, Xiaoyun nodded with a smile, preparing to break through the little penguin's psychological defenses step by step and continued:
"Pogamon, think about it, this is Hikari's first appearance in the Grand Contest. As Hikari's starting Pokémon, can you tolerate not having you at this time?"
"Boga."
Pogaman thought about Xiaoguang's first performance. The figure accompanying Xiaoguang on the stage was Curly-eared. The scene of them dancing together on the stage. Pogaman shook his head. No, this must not happen.
Xiaoyun continued to instill ideas into Pogaman: "Pogaman, think about it again. If Curlyear performed well this time and helped Xiaoguang complete his debut perfectly, then in comparison, you who can't even train well, what advantages do you have besides being Xiaoguang's initial Pokémon?"
"Boga!"
Pogaman thought that he could only watch Xiaoguang and Juanjuaner become better from the audience, and he was getting farther and farther away from them. What was the difference between this and being abandoned?
Xiaoyun saw that the time was almost up, so he used the last words to finish off Pogaman, and shouted to it loudly: "Pogaman! You don't want your trainer to show a disappointed expression to you, do you?"
"Boga!!" (Absolutely not!)
When Pogamon thought about the disappointed look on Xiaoguang's face, he exploded. His pride would not allow such a thing to happen, and he had to eliminate this possibility in the bud.
Instructor Yun shouted at Pogaman, "What are you waiting for? Tell me what to do now."
"Poga!" (Go exercise!)
"Then hurry up and get on!"
"Boga!" (Yes, instructor!)
Then Pogamon sat on the back of the Grass Turtle and began to train. He was still shaky at the beginning, but after several rotations and falls, he was able to slowly release bubble rays during the rotation.
Instructor Yun nodded with satisfaction, and said to Xiao Guang, who looked a little reluctant, "Look, the effect is immediate."
"But this will make Pogaman very uncomfortable."
Xiaoguang knew that Xiaoyun was right, but he was still a little worried when he saw Pogaman fall down and get up again and again.
Instructor Yun's face turned serious and he said to Xiao Guang: "Xiao Guang, nothing in this world can be achieved overnight. Behind every coordination trainer's glamorous appearance on the stage are the rewards of countless nights of training alone."
“As the saying goes, only fingers that bleed can play the most beautiful music in the world, and only those who have gone through hellish trials can have the power to create heaven.”
"Pogaman has enough courage. He has dared to face his own weaknesses. All you have to do is live up to his expectations and perform perfectly with him on the stage."
Looking at Pogaman standing up from the ground again, Xiaoguang clenched his fists, reflecting his inner determination and focus on the goal. With a firm light shining in his eyes, he nodded: "I will, I will not let Pogaman's hard work go to waste."
After a morning of devilish training and the little penguin's unremitting efforts, he finally overcame his fear and released the rotating bubble light in the afternoon.
"Boga!"
Pogamon jumped up on the back of the Grass Turtle, and performed a 360-degree rotation in the air. Light blue foam rays were emitted from its mouth and surrounded Pogamon, like the Milky Way in the starry sky. Xiaoguang was stunned at that moment.
"Success, Pogaman, you finally overcame your weaknesses." Xiaoguang saw that Pogaman finally overcame his difficulties and perfectly performed the rotating bubble beam, and he happily praised Pogaman.
"Boga!"
Pogaman wasn't done yet, blue light burst out from his body, and a swirling stream of water condensed between his two small wings. The water stream became stronger and stronger with the sound of Pogaman, and turned into a huge vortex of water hanging above Pogaman's head. Finally, Pogaman couldn't hold on any longer, and was launched out against the vortex of water.
"This is... Tide Whirl." Xiaoguang looked at the moves used by Pogamon and checked them with the illustrations.
Tidal Whirlpool: When walking on water, you can cross the whirlpool in front of you and bind the target. The Pokémon in the bound state will continue to receive damage and cannot be replaced. If the target is in a diving state, the power will be doubled.
Xiaoyun nodded with satisfaction. This little penguin was indeed talented. Not only had he overcome his weaknesses, but he also further comprehended the vortex. Now he was good enough.
"Pogaman, you're so awesome! You even learned a new move."
Then Xiaoguang happily said to Pogaman
"Boga!"
Pogaman raised his head proudly. Just kidding, he is Pogaman! Xiaoguang's top leader, can't he just use his hands to do this?
At this time, Xiaoyun also said to the Lizard King and the others:
"That's right, let's stop here for today's training. Everyone has worked hard, come back and rest."
After responding, the Pokémon were taken back into the Poké Ball by Xiaoyun.
As if noticing Pogaman's gaze, Xiaoyun turned his gaze towards Pogaman and said to it with a smile:
"Well done, Pogaman. You didn't let your trainer down."
"Poga..." After hearing this, Pogaman seemed to have finally completed a mission. His eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Pogaman!"
Xiaoyun quickly caught Pogaman before it hit the ground. After feeling its slight rhythmic breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiaoguang:
"It's okay, I just felt exhausted. I woke up after a while, but I'm still strong enough to hold on until now."
......
Xiaoguang took Pogamon from Xiaoyun without saying a word and held it in his arms.
Xiaoyun took Xiaoguang's hand and whispered, "Let Pogaman have a good rest. We should go back to the camp."
"OK."
The two finished today's training and walked towards the camp. In the evening, Pokémon woke up, and Xiaoguang immediately brought him the prepared water and Pokémon food.
After the two of them finished dinner with their respective Pokémon, the busy day began to come to an end. The quietness of the night allowed them to enjoy a good rest and be full of energy for the new day.
In the early morning, the two packed their luggage and started today's journey. There were fewer and fewer trees on both sides of the road, and the outline of the city ahead could be clearly seen.
This is the destination of this trip, Zhuqing City.
