Capítulo 8: Chapter 8:Training Again!
Ace stood at the base of Mount Moon, the towering structure casting a long shadow over his campsite as the sun began its descent. He decided it was best to rest here tonight before traversing the mountain's cave system to reach Pewter City. Unfolding his camping gear, he carefully removed his new foldable bike and stashed it securely in his bag's storage compartment.
Once his camp was set up, Ace called out his Pokémon, and the group gathered for dinner. He introduced Staryu, the newest member, to the team. The shiny Staryu, its blue gem shimmering faintly in the dimming light, was a sight to behold. It floated slightly off the ground, moving with an elegant spin that mesmerized its teammates.
Ace chuckled as he observed their reactions. "Alright, everyone, meet Staryu. It's the newest addition to our team. Treat it well, okay?"
Smeargle barked in approval, Elekid nodded enthusiastically, and Mankey gave a thumbs-up before returning to his plate.
Ace had discovered earlier that Staryu had a distinct preference for sweet flavors. With that in mind, he prepared a sweet berry Pokéfood mash juice for it. Smeargle, who also favored sweet treats, happily shared its portion of sweet-flavored Pokéfood with Staryu. Ace smiled as Staryu extended one of its limbs, dipping it into the juice and sipping delicately.
Elekid munched on its sour-flavored food, its eyes narrowing with satisfaction, while Mankey devoured his spicy meal with gusto, occasionally letting out an excited cry of approval.
After everyone finished eating, Ace stood up and clapped his hands. "Alright, team! You know the drill. It's training time!"
The Pokémon responded eagerly, knowing the routine well. For them, it had become a way of life: eat, train, eat, train, rest, and sleep. The structure gave them a sense of purpose, and they thrived under Ace's guidance.
After finishing their physical training, Ace and his team took a short break to catch their breath. The Pokémon gathered around him, their eyes shining with determination despite their earlier exertion. Ace smiled proudly at his team, ready to guide them into their next phase of training: move mastery and development.
"Alright, team, let's move on to the next stage. We've got some new strategies to work on!" Ace said enthusiastically.
He turned to Staryu first. "Staryu, I've got something special for you. You're going to work on combining Water Gun with Rapid Spin. The idea is to unleash Water Gun continuously while spinning, so you can hit multiple targets or increase the attack's overall force. Think of it like creating a water tornado!"
Staryu's gem flashed brightly, signaling its understanding. It floated over to an open area of the campsite and began practicing. A steady stream of water shot from its core as it spun in place, gradually building speed. The first few attempts were clumsy; the water sprayed in uneven directions, some of it splashing back at Staryu.
Ace encouraged it from the sidelines. "Don't worry about getting it perfect right away. Focus on maintaining your spin and keeping the water stream steady. You'll get there!"
Next, Ace turned to Smeargle. "Alright, Smeargle, your focus is on multitasking and speed. Start by copying Focus Energy. Once you've got that, we'll work on using moves while running. The goal is to increase your ability to use and switch between techniques without losing momentum."
Smeargle barked in agreement, its tail wagging eagerly. It closed its eyes, focusing its energy, and a faint white aura enveloped it as Mankey demonstrated Focus Energy which Smeargle copied. With a quick nod, Smeargle began sprinting across the field while using Swift to target nearby rocks. The first few tries were uncoordinated, but Smeargle quickly found a rhythm.
"Great work, Smeargle!" Ace cheered. "Now try switching to Gust mid-run!"
Smeargle skidded to a halt, panting, but its eyes were determined. It resumed running, summoning a burst of wind as it moved, albeit with some effort.
Moving on, Ace faced Elekid. "Elekid, it's time to start working on Thunderbolt. Right now, focus on increasing the power of your Thunder Shock. Push yourself to generate as much electricity as you can. Once you've maxed out Thunder Shock, we'll take the next step."
Elekid clenched its fists, sparks flying around its body as it nodded. It released a burst of electricity, which lit up the area but lacked the intensity Ace envisioned.
"You're doing great, Elekid! Keep pushing your limits. Focus on controlling the flow of electricity. Imagine it building up inside you, then let it explode out!" Ace coached, his voice full of encouragement.
Finally, Ace approached Mankey, who was brimming with energy even after the physical training. "Mankey, you're going to learn Mega Punch. Start by concentrating normal-type energy into your fists. Feel the power build, then release it as you strike. Use that tree over there as your target."
Mankey let out a spirited cry and approached the designated tree. It clenched its fists, its focus evident as a faint white energy began to gather. With a loud yell, Mankey swung its fist, landing a solid hit on the tree. While the impact wasn't as strong as Ace had hoped, Mankey didn't falter.
"Good start, Mankey! Keep focusing on the energy. Try to compress it before you strike, and don't rush the punch," Ace advised.
As the training continued, Ace moved between his Pokémon, offering guidance, encouragement, and the occasional demonstration. The campsite was alive with the sounds of progress: Staryu's spinning water attacks, Smeargle's swift movements, Elekid's crackling electricity, and Mankey's determined punches against the tree.
By the time the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange glow over the campsite, the team was exhausted but proud of their progress. Ace gathered his Pokémon for a final pep talk.
"You all did amazing today. I'm so proud of the effort you're putting in. Remember, every bit of training brings us closer to our goals. Rest up tonight because tomorrow, we tackle Mount Moon!"
The Pokémon cheered, their tired eyes sparkling with determination. After a hearty dinner and some well-deserved rest, the team settled in for the night, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them in the mysterious caves of Mount Moon.
