Chapter 155: Training Day After Day (For the Big Celebration)
There is still more than a month until the grand celebration of the gorgeous competition begins.
Heimer decided that during this period of time, he would help Teacher Adam with some gym-related work at the Liuli Gym, learn various knowledge related to the Pokémon Contest with Teacher Adam, and do some Pokémon training every day.
In fact, Adam didn't originally want Heimer to come to the gym to help him. He hoped that Heimer could spend his time preparing for the large-scale celebration.
But Heimer felt that Teacher Adam not only allowed him to live in his manor for free, but also taught him so much useful knowledge, so Heimer thought that he must do something to help the teacher.
At this moment, Heimer was at the training ground in Teacher Adam's manor, helping the Powdery Fern with training related to the Gorgeous Competition together with Teacher Adam.
Before starting training, Adam spoke gently to Hammer.
Adam: "Heimer, you have to remember that nothing is absolute. The advantages that Pokémon have may sometimes be the weaknesses that are most easily targeted by the enemy."
Chi Haimo: "I don't quite understand this sentence, teacher."
Adam: "For example, your Poison Moth is a Pokémon that is very sensitive to light. With this, she can quickly capture even the smallest light source with her eyes. This is Poison Moth's precious advantage, but also its most fatal weakness. For example, if your opponent uses the Flash trick on Poison Moth, then..."
Adam deliberately stopped here, as if he wanted Heimer to continue speaking. When Heimer saw this, he immediately understood what he meant.
Chi Haimo: "The Powderyngium is extremely sensitive to light, so it will be affected by the skills more strongly than other Pokémon."
Hearing Heimer's answer, Adam nodded with satisfaction.
Adam: "Yes, so, many things have two sides. You need to develop the ability to remain objective and sharp at all times, and turn your opponent's advantage into his fatal weakness."
Chi Haimo: "I understand, Teacher Adam."
Adam: "Well, let's start a simulated gorgeous battle match."
Chi Haimo: "Okay."
After both sides stood in the training ground, Hai Mo sent out the Poisonous Powdermoth, while Teacher Adam sent out Lulili.
Adam: "In a gorgeous battle match, you don't have to attack your opponent to make them lose points. Sometimes, successfully showing the charm of your Pokémon through special moves can also make your opponent lose points, for example, Lulili, Bounce."
As soon as Teacher Adam finished speaking, Lulili stepped on the ball at the end of her tail and jumped into the air.
In mid-air, Lulili completed several turns and landed steadily, demonstrating her jumping ability cleanly and neatly. At the same time, it also highlighted the cute charm of Lulili's habit of bouncing on the ball on her tail.
Adam: "However, in a formal Grand Battle, most opponents will not give you such an opportunity to show the charm of your Pokémon. Therefore, this strategy of only relying on showing your own charm to make the opponent lose points is usually not our best choice."
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, I understand."
Adam: "Well, let's get started. You make the first move."
Chi Haimo: "Okay, toxic powder moth, fierce toxin!"
The poisonous power immediately gathered in the mouth of the powder moth. Because of the fierceness of the powder moth's toxin, the toxin looked like it was coated with a colorful film under the sunlight.
The poisonous powder moth did not choose to use its powerful toxin directly on Lulili, but chose to spray it towards the sky. Under the control of the poisonous powder moth, the purple liquid turned into drops of purple poisonous rain when sprayed into the air, falling towards Lulili.
This attack method is also suggested by Adam, because if the move does not hit the opponent, it will deduct points. Therefore, coordinated trainers should try their best to make the moves hit the opponent.
Adam: "Well, it's a good attack method, but it still needs to be improved. Lulili, use the bounce to avoid it and then use the bubble beam."
Lulili stepped on the ball at the end of her tail and jumped back lightly, avoiding several rays of purple rain. At this moment, in mid-air, Lulili immediately gathered the power of water and emitted bubble rays instantly.
The blue-glowing foam swirled and absorbed the poison of the powder moth. Under the sunlight, the light of the foam changed from blue to a gradient of purple and blue.
Under Lulili's control, the foam light rotated at a strange angle and attacked the poisonous powder moth.
Chi Haimo: "Poisonous powder moth, use your antennae to capture the movement of the foam light, and then quickly avoid it!"
The powder moth's antennae were like radars, and it sensitively captured the movement trajectory of the foam light. It flapped its wings and successfully flipped in the air to avoid it.
Adam: "Well, you did a great job of using the characteristics of the toxic powder moth to dodge it, but your mid-air flipping posture and speed still need to be improved."
Chi Haimo: "Okay, I understand, Teacher Adam."
With Adam's help, Heimer's training went very smoothly. Many of Adam's suggestions were rare panaceas for Heimer.
As a result, Heimer and the Pokémon have improved a lot in this month.
Finally, today, there are only five days left until the big celebration.
And today is the day that Heimer leaves Liuli Gym and sets off for Kaina City.
Before leaving, Adam gave Heimer a coat similar to the one he was wearing.
Knowing that Heimer doesn't like clothes that are too unique, Adam deliberately removed the original high collar design of the blue windbreaker and adopted an ordinary hoodie design, which looks casual and fresh.
Seeing this high-end performance costume, Heimer was very moved.
Chi Haimo: "This, this is too expensive, teacher..."
Adam: "Just accept it. It's okay. This is a gift from me as your teacher."
Chi Haimo: "But..."
Adam: "During this period, you and your Pokémon have worked very hard. The teacher has seen it all. Well, kid, you must take good care of yourself outside. If you need any help from the teacher, don't hesitate to ask. By the way, you must accept this dress."
Adam repeatedly handed the clothes to Heimer. Now that things had come to this, Heimer couldn't refuse anymore. After accepting the performance costume, he spoke to Adam gently.
Chi Haimo: "Thank you, teacher."
Adam: "I have already bought your boat ticket. You will be leaving soon. By the way, remember, even if you don't achieve good results in the large-scale celebration."
At this time, Adam deliberately did not finish his words, as if he wanted Heimer to finish what he said. When Heimer saw this, he immediately understood what Adam meant.
Chi Haimo: "Don't underestimate yourself."
Hearing this, Adam gently touched Heimer's head, and then spoke softly to Heimer.
Adam: "Yes, well, check it again, bring your pass."
Chi Haimo: “I brought it.”
Adam: "Yeah, let's go, I'll give you a ride."
After Adam sent Heimer to the dock, he carefully helped Heimer straighten the collar of his clothes. While he was straightening, he spoke to Heimer gently.
Adam: "Some good habits need to be paid special attention to in daily life, such as keeping the collar and cuffs of clothes clean and tidy. Once these tiny details are adjusted, the feeling given will be very different."
Chi Haimo: "Well, I understand, teacher."
Adam patted Heimer's shoulder, then pursed his lips and looked at Heimer lovingly.
Adam: “Okay, go ahead.”
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay."
Before boarding the ship, Heimer gave Adam a deep hug, and Adam gently hugged Heimer back.
Adam: “Take care of yourself.”
Hearing this, Heimer spoke gently to Adam.
Chi Haimo: "Well, thank you very much during this time, teacher, you must take good care of yourself too."
Adam: "Of course. Remember, no matter what achievements you make, don't underestimate yourself."
Finally, Heimer left Liuli City on a boat and disappeared into the sunset as Adam watched.
