Chapitre 15: CH15, Psionic Training (1)
Once they were well-rested, they began to eat.
After they had eaten and all their belongings were packed up, they left after making sure the area was clean.
The way back to their car took 20 minutes that Mikail used to check Caterpies once more.
Of the 12 Caterpie, he checked only 2 had better potential than red.
Those 2 had light and standard orange potential.
'Sigh, I must have used up my luck for today.
I could not even find a Caterpie with yellow potential.'
Mikail looked over at Emerald.
'Did mom's Butterfree have light green potential as a Caterpie or did she manage to increase Emerald's potential during one of its evolutions.
If it's the first, then how lucky did she have to be to meet a Caterpie with such good potential?
If it's the second, then how lucky did she have to be to find items that could boost potential?
Both cases indicate high luck, which is also supported by the potential of her Poliwhirl.
Could I get some of that luck by rubbing against her?'
They drove home where Mikail was immediately cleaned up and laid down on his bed for his nap.
After his nap, Mikail finally focused on his aurascape.
He could sense trickles of his internal aura automatically entering and exiting his aurascape leaving it in an empty state.
He already had an idea on how to advance to Tier 1, but he had decided beforehand to focus on his psychic path once he reached the top apprentice aura user grade.
A Geo remembers.
GoT jokes aside, it took him a little less than a month of training in aura to reach the top of Tier 0, and he achieved this despite not training all the time.
So assuming the same for his psionic training was not unreasonable.
It would probably take even less since he had experience from his aura training to draw on, which would help speed up his progress.
The training method was the same.
The first step was to sense internal psionic energy during meditation.
The second step was to sense internal psionic energy outside of meditation.
The third step was to sense psionic energy in the environment during meditation.
The fourth step was to sense psionic energy in the environment outside of meditation.
The fifth step was to move internal psionic energy during meditation.
The sixth step was to move internal psionic energy outside of meditation.
The seventh step was to move psionic energy in the environment during meditation.
The eighth step was to move psionic energy in the environment outside of meditation.
The ninth step was to unlock the mindscape.
He called it, nine simple steps to the peak of Tier 0.
'I will start with the first step right now and hopefully, I will be finished with this step by tomorrow night at the latest.'
Mikail adjusted his position on the bed to a more relaxing one and started meditating.
He tried to sense the psionic energy inside his body and managed to do so a few times.
His experience with aura truly helped him, as he simply had to sense for another type of energy that focused on his head area.
He now had to learn to separate the two and to focus solely on psionic energy.
He had to do so until he managed to sense, only, psionic energy every time.
Being able to sense only what you were trying to sense was important and had to be ensured.
By the time he decided to finish his session he had achieved a success rate of about 50%.
After he ended the training session he called out to his parents.
Once he was brought to the living room, and yes he was still being carried down the steps because he apparently could go on 3-hour treks in the park but climbing down the stairs on his own was too dangerous.
He was not complaining, not really.
In truth, he felt grateful towards his parents and their care for him.
Anyway, back to business.
He played/trained a bit in his play area doing his stretching moves, while his parents brought dinner to the table.
After their dinner, his parents decide to watch a children-friendly movie by a famous director called Schpielbunk.
The title was Finding Theo.
Mikail had to laugh when he heard the director's name and the title of the movie.
The plot resembled another one he knew with 2 Magikarps and a Finneon being the main cast instead.
It was a funny movie, even if it felt a bit weird to him.
After the movie, they played memory with pictures of Pokemon from the Kanto region.
He naturally won.
They did not simply let him win.
He earned that victory.
After a short celebration on his part, during which his parents simply smiled, he had to sleep.
The next morning, once he woke up, Mikail altered his position on the bed to a more relaxing one, and started meditating.
He once more tried to sense only the psionic energy inside his body and to increase his success rate.
By the end of the session, he had managed to complete the first step.
He felt like he was on the highway speeding down the road, with how fast he was progressing.
He would now start the second step, which he could do during his daily routine.
Sensing psionic energy outside of meditation while harder could be trained nearly anywhere and anytime.
Once he was left in his playing area, after his morning routine, he started his stretches before beginning the training of the second step.
He started throwing his plush Pokeball to train his aim and kept trying to sense his internal psionic energy while doing so.
This not only helped his aim and ensured he could sense his psionic energy while he was distracted but also helped him improve his ability to multitask.
Once his mother joined him after pausing her housework to spend time with him, they played memory or had fake fights with his Pokemon dolls.
For the next 3 days, he trained in sensing his internal energy whenever he could, in all kinds of situations.
He even increased the difficulty compared to his previous aura training but by the evening of the third day, he had deemed himself to have a 100% success rate.
He managed to sense his internal psionic energy even when focusing on the TV and laughing.
After his accomplishment, he decided to start with the third step the next day, forgoing any more training for that night.
The next day, which was Dialday by the way, he started trying to sense psionic energy in the environment during meditation.
By the end of his morning meditation session he had managed to sense the energy a few times and by the end of his meditation session the morning after, he had finished with the third step.
Since it was the weekend once more his father had no work.
After breakfast, his father said to his mother that he is going to take Growlithe and hold a training session to go over his techniques.
"I come too.
See Agni train."
Mikail wanted to join his father because he wanted to see how they trained, but he was shot down by his father.
"Sorry, little guy.
Agnis training is going to be too dangerous for you to be around.
We would not want you to get hurt by a flying splinter or something else by accident."
Seeing Mikail's disappointment he added.
"But I am going to go through Cyans moves tomorrow and you could join that one if you want to."
Mikail practically glowed because of his happiness.
"Un, un.
I watch Cyan."
The rest of the day went like always except for him trying to sense psionic energy outside of meditation.
The fourth step was harder and by the time he joined his father in Cyans training the next morning he had only managed to sense psionic energy a few times.
It should be his giddiness that increased the difficulty of his training.
He took it in strides.
He already was progressing fast.
He had more than enough time so a little delay if it could even be called that was no problem.
Mikail saw that the three of them were walking, Cyan was flying, away from their house, and was curious where they were going.
"Where we go?"
"There is a clearing to the west, a 5 minutes walk away from our house that your mother and I use to refresh our training routines once in a while."
Mikail was mildly shocked at his father's answer.
He had not expected that.
He probably should have but he didn't.
"When?
Why I not notice?"
His father laughed at his shocked expression and took a quick photo with his PokeCom to show to his mother when they came home before he started his explanation.
"One of us would go while you were either sleeping at night or napping.
The other would stay at home to keep an eye on you, so we did it mostly during your night sleep.
The only time we used your napping time is on the weekends.
The only reason I went earlier yesterday was that I wanted to do some extra training with Agni."
'So the only reason, I found out is due to that.'
"I understand."
Mikail nodded.
A few minutes later they reached the clearing.
It was not too wide but still big.
What he wondered was why he saw no wild Pokemon on the way here, except for the Pidgey and Spearow in the sky.
There should have been way more.
"Why no Pokemon?
We walk.
I no see Pokemon."
His father answered him with a smile.
"Most wild Pokemon on the route to the clearing and area know about your mother and me.
We have their acknowledgment.
So seeing you together with me, they decided to keep their distance to avoid provoking me.
Not to mention Cyan flying around us."
"Ohh.
I understand."
His father got a stern look on his face.
"Mikail, while we are doing Cyans training you are not allowed to leave my side.
Walking around on your own is strictly forbidden.
We don't want anything to happen to you so just watch from beside me.
Do you understand?"
"Un.
I understand."
"Good."
Turning to Cyan Edward said.
"We're going through all your main attacks the others will be left for next time.
Let start with your status moves.
Poison powder."
My father called a move, Butterfree would execute that move.
They started going through 12 of Cyan's moves.
Those being Poison powder, Sleep powder, Stun spore, String shot, and Whirlwind to hamper the enemy.
Mega drain to weaken the opponent while healing himself.
Iron Defense, Tailwind, and Quiver Dance to boost himself.
Finally, Air cutter, Confusion, and Psybeam for attacking the opponent.
From these moves, Mikail could see that Butterfree was trained as a pure ranged fighter.
It was awesome to see real Pokemon training and moves but when his father said.
"Ok, good job Cyan.
Now let's move on to our combo moves."
Mikail's excitement dialed up to 11.
"We will start with PoSt."
His father ordered and Butterfree used Poison powder and Stun Spore simultaneously.
"Good, now use Coma."
Butterfree released Stun spore and Sleep powder together.
"Alright, Deadly sleep next."
A combination of Sleep powder and Poison powder was released.
"Sleep plus 2."
When Butterfree heard that he visibly concentrated compared to the previous times.
Cyan released all 3 powder moves jointly.
"That was okay but it still takes too much of your focus, which makes you easier to hit.
So focus on that and train the move some more later."
"Free."
Cyan nodded showing his agreement.
"Alright use Draining sleep next."
A combination of Sleep powder and Mega drain was performed.
It was hard to tell without a real opponent.
The grass he drained released really small amounts of energy making it hard to see the move being performed.
"Now only Tornado and Quivering tail are left."
Tornado was a combo of Air cutter and Whirlwind, that would suck something into itself and cut it.
Quivering tail was the combination of Quiver dance and Tailwind.
It made Cyan even harder to hit while he was boosting himself because he danced in the wind.
Going through all moves and combos once took about 30 minutes, because Cyan had to rest once in a while to recover some energy.
Afterward, they stayed for another 2 hours to focus on the execution speed and/or the strength of the combinations.
By the time they were finished, Butterfree was so tired that his father had to recall him before returning home.
Mikail was impressed by what he saw.
He knew that fighting was not limited to straightforward move use but seeing all the combo moves showed and confirmed that even moves could be used for much more.
The people and Pokemon on Terra resembled the anime a bit in that aspect, like Ash with all his combo attacks.
Anyway, Mikail had a lot of fun and he definitely would borrow some of those combos.
He would have come up with them on his own anyway.
