บท 10: The Training Diary - End Year 1 / Part 4
Year 1 Months 27 Day 763 - Log 8:49 P.M - End of Week 109
At the beginning of the week, things went slowly without Alpha Machamp, so we used a day to relax and play in the snow, as it was starting to get colder. I also noticed Sekiro glancing in a certain direction every so often; it probably has something to do with how I found him, so I'll take care of that after everything here is done. Anyway, Machamp came back with an Alpha Lucario from Icebound Falls by its side, and around 100 Pokémon followed them. I ended up negotiating again and agreed to 7,500 berries for their help, only because they approached me and not the other way around. From there, things really kicked off. There was some occasional infighting and sparring, which Machamp, Lucario, and I had to break up, but that stopped, and by the end of the week, everyone became, I guess, friends.
In the middle of Week 1, Machamp, Lucario, and I decided to set up a tournament, which worked incredibly well. We also finished around 3/5 of the biodome. You have no idea how fast these Pokémon worked after resolving their issues—or maybe it's the effect of my cooking. These Pokémon are gluttons. That was by the end of Week 1.
Week 2 went like this: we continued as usual, and by the end of the week, we were done—provided there were no mishaps, which there weren't. However, I was wrong about the time it would take to finish building the biodome; it actually took closer to 4 days to complete this part. The next 3 days were spent planting trees, plants, berries, and fruits, and creating artificial biomes. I took care of the scientific aspects that I added on my own time, while the Pokémon handled the terraforming. And with that, we were done with the dome.
Damn, is it big! We kind of overdid it; we made it larger than originally planned to the point where we have a huge area specifically for bird or Flying-type Pokémon. This area is situated off a cliff, but Ground and Rock-type Pokémon helped shape the ground underneath so it would work properly. You need to understand that this dome is an extremely large area compared to what it was supposed to be.
We included a rocky area, an underground area (yes, we also built beneath the surface), a jungle area, a berry area, a desert area, a beach area with artificial waves, a stormy area, a snowy area, a metallic covered area and of course, a mountainside area. Some of these areas have what I invented and called "panel imitators," which are designed to mimic various weather conditions like storms, hail, sunshine, rain, wind, smog, and others. I used contained Ergo and many evolution stones to help with these conditions. It was a marvel.
In Week 3, after the successful construction of the dome, we took a break for the week, focusing only on mapping out the mountain properly to determine where the metal poles should go and how high they needed to be. While others had fun, I found a way to make the cables we would use stronger than they needed to be. I secretly brought some additional cables, twisted them together, and applied layers of metal coating for added durability. I also used protectors to cover them and enhance their strength. I did the same with the poles, using evolution items to improve their resilience. That's how my week went—freaking exhausting, with almost no sleep to keep going.
In the last week, Week 4, as I suspected, we had two visitors at the beginning of the week: Gaeric of the Pearl Clan, the warden of Hisuian Avalugg, and Sabi of the Diamond Clan, the warden of Braviary. I was surprised it took them this long to notice; they should have caught on when Lucario left his area. But I guess that's what happens when people here are afraid of the deeper wilderness and have their own duties to attend to.
We used the mapping from the 3rd week to properly mark the places for the poles before going back down. We decided to install the cables after setting up the poles, with the help of the Zubat line under Lucario, as well as the Drifloon line, Gligar line, and Aipom line under Machamp.
The encounter didn't go as I expected. It seemed like they knew who I was before we even introduced ourselves, probably due to Adaman and Irida. They only asked what I was doing and offered to help once I explained—well, Gaeric did. Sabi was more interested in the Pokémon and playing with them; she was a pleasant person to be around. They told me they would be back after informing their clan leaders of my whereabouts. I wouldn't be surprised if, the next time I see them, Adaman, Irida, Laventon, Iscan, Palina, Marie, Colza, Bellamy, Volo, and Ginter tag along. I'd be surprised if a Team Galactic official or superior came along, but the chances aren't zero anymore.

Winter... the beginning of this month marked the start of winter, and it got much colder. As a result, our building speed took a massive hit. It didn't help that we were on a mountain and that most 1st stage Pokémon that weren't Ice-type stayed in warmer areas. The Pokémon hung out in the biodome, even though it was still bare inside. I did, however, sew a coat together made from shed Mamoswine fur. The Mamoswine came from a singular family of five that stumbled upon our group: 2 Mamoswine, 1 Piloswine, and 2 Swinub. By the end of Week 1, we had 7 out of 86, of the poles set up.
The 2nd week went similarly to the previous week, and we managed to get 16 out of the 86 poles properly set. If you haven't figured it out yet, we are making a sky mountain. Skiing, snowboarding, and sleighing aren't a thing yet, mostly because the mountains aren't very explored. The only winter activity I have seen so far is snowball fighting. Apart from that, many other activities haven't been done or discovered yet, like those beach activities.
Week 3 was mostly clear with the occasional soft snowfall, which was nice. The younger Pokémon played in the snow while we worked at a faster pace to get most of our tasks out of the way. By the end of the week, we had managed to set up 71 of the poles. While the poles were being set up, the flying Pokémon lines connected the cables at the top of the poles. They managed to connect 28 out of the 71 poles with cables.
While this was happening, on the first day of the week, Volo and Ginter arrived with Laventon, who was accompanied by Akari and Rei, two survey corps members of the Galaxy Expedition Team. Laventon mostly wanted to study the Pokémon's way of life, and I helped him with his studies as much as time allowed. The others, gave me a hand with building even Melli surprisingly it did take some convincing. Ginter said he would come by every so often, but he left since he still has a business to run. Everyone brought a tent of their own.
Around noon on the 3rd day, Sabi arrived on Braviary with Adaman, and with them came Melli of the Diamond Clan, the warden of Hisuian Electrode. Six hours later, Gaeric arrived with Irida, and tagging along was someone I came to know as Ingo of the Pearl Clan, the warden of Hisuian Sneasler. The two groups had apparently raced, but it was really Irida and Ingo who were dragging Gaeric down. In the morning of the 4th day, Palina and Iscan arrived. Everyone brought a sleeping bag.
It was on the sixth day that some people left while others stayed to help with the building process. Among those who left were Ginter, Melli, Iscan, Adaman, and Irida. Ginter said he would come by every so often, but he left since he still has a business to run. Melli is just a self-absorbed and prideful person; as soon as I can, I will offer him some therapy if I ever get around to it. Iscan is still the warden of Basculegion in another region of Hisui, and unlike Hisuian Arcanine, Basculegion is still alive. Lastly, Adaman and Irida left because they are leaders of their own clans.
The last week of the month was hectic. A storm hit, and we spent three days just waiting for it to pass. Storms are crazy in this world, but our saving grace was having the dome up and running. During that time, the mansion became our focus: furnishing it. I had already started working on the AC units, so I just needed to add the finishing touches, which took an hour. Installing them took the rest of the day, and I installed a total of five units.
The next step was to make some furniture, which I let the others take care of. I provided the wood and blueprints/instructions to make drawers, desks, tables, chairs, closets, and benches. They managed to make 20 of each in a day, giving me a total of 60 of these. While they were working on that, I was sewing string and yarn that Volo provided, as well as cotton that I had brought beforehand. With that, I made curtains, drapes, blankets, and towels. I made 15 of each in a day for a total of 45 of each. I never moved my hands as fast as that... ever. It didn't help that I made some with different designs.
The rest of the week, we saw an average amount of snow. So, we continued and finished placing the poles. All that's left are the cables and the last building at the top of the mountain. I will make and attach the gondolas and chairlifts another time. While the Pokémon responsible for the cables were putting them up, the rest of us started building the last structure. I still had close to 97 carts of materials left. We managed to complete about 1/8 of the building process. We did have 28 poles left over from the original 200, which came from the 2 carts of them.
It's also good to note that the storm wasn't capable of uprooting the poles; in fact, it barely affected them. For whoever is reading this, it might seem ridiculous, but you need to remember what I did to make them that tough: the poles themselves are made of titanium, iron, and mithril, even if only to a minor degree. They also have gold engravings with a metal coat mixed with crushed-up evolution items.
Year 1 Months 29 Day 819 - Log 10:12 P.M - End of Week 117
This month, up to the second week, we got incredibly lucky with mostly sunny weather. It was good enough that we were able to finish the cable section of the building project and complete 3/7 of the building at the top. However, the ancient Alpha Machamp and the Alpha Lucario increased their prices by another 5,000 berries, as they didn't expect it to take this long. This made the prices 45,000 berries for the Machamp and 12,500 berries for the Lucario.
In the biodome, the berries have already started to sprout from the ground. It will take an additional 2 months for them to yield fruit and another month for them to ripen, totaling 3 months. The trees have only shown saplings, and the plants have only started to sprout, thanks to the increased growth rate provided by the Leaf Stone and Moss Rock.
In the next two weeks, we weren't as lucky. We had a heavy hailstorm that lasted four days, followed by another week of heavy snowfall with strong winds. Safe to say, we focused on other tasks during this time. I spent most of my time building the chairlifts—around 20 of them—and another five gondolas. I managed to complete these with Machamp's help; he bent the materials like they were nothing.
The rest of the Pokémon started a tournament, including a battle royale in the dome and a king of the hill event, to pass the time. Meanwhile, Laventon went through 20 pencils during those last two weeks.
Year 1 Months 30 Day 847 - Log 8:19 P.M - End of Week 121
This month went by much like the last two weeks. With the weather outside becoming smoky, I managed to convince everyone that I had some beach equipment stored in the mansion's storage room, which I actually did, just in case. It was located next door to the dome, so we made our own fun. I also ended up building a massive telescope for the building at the top of the mountain.
I also sparred with Gaeric, and it was a close match, mainly because I was looking for experience rather than trying to defeat him. Don't get me wrong, this man mostly practiced with other humans, as far as I could tell, while I trained more with Pokémon. We definitely impressed some of the Fighting-type Pokémon there. By the end of our sparring session, a Machop and a Riolu wanted to join Gaeric. I declined their offers since I already had an egg on the way, plus three other troublemaking Pokémon. I assured them that if they were still interested in the future when I passed by again, they could join.
However, by the second week, things got hectic. The egg I had bought from Volo a few months back started showing signs that it was about to hatch soon. I had wrapped the egg in wool and blankets to maintain a proper temperature. I also placed some Fire Stones and Water Stones around it, since it was a Water-type and I wasn't sure if they would help it hatch more effectively.
In weeks three and four, we continued and almost finished our work. The final touches are still missing, but since the chairlifts and gondolas were done, we put those up while we had the extra pair of hands. The building was a little bigger than the mansion, about twice its size, but it follows the same fashion. I would like to call it an observatory.
Year 1 Months 31 Day 875 - Log 9:23 P.M - End of Week 125
At the beginning of the month, we finally finished everything except for the decor and furnishings. When we completed the project, I received a surprise: an achievement called "Man-Made World Wonder."
The description read: "One of the first Man-Made World Wonders, a build peculiar to a certain location that left a mark at the time it was built and in the future. A series of buildings that left the world questioning how it got there to begin with."
As a reward, I got a Gacha stabilizer, which was used without my intervention, 10 upgrade tickets, 10 guaranteed blueprint/infrastructure/structure tickets, and 4 mythical + Kubfu tickets. From what I understand, the Gacha stabilizer limits my Gacha spins to 60 every 6 months. Starting from the upcoming new year, I won't be able to do any Gacha pulls until then.
At the top of the building, there was a half-sphere where I installed the large telescope I made to stargaze—well, more like study the stars better. Below that, there was an observation deck, not for the stars, but for the view all the way up the mountain looking down. I combined that floor with the one below it to create a restaurant, something I am sure to regret in the future. Below that, we had two floors simply to chill or relax. I also added some spaces to sell things and let Volo claim a few for the Ginkgo Guild. At the entrance, I mostly left it open because I wanted to add the facilities a Pokémon Center would have, should I ever make something like that.
Below this, we had a two-floor basement. The first floor was a small lab to make things like medicine. For the second floor, I was thinking of the gym leaders in the future, so I made a larger one. As for the theme, ice type would fit, but I might not use it, so I didn't make anything extraordinary and made it changeable with the panel imitators.
Weeks two and three of the month were spent designing and building a functional camera and coming up with the 47,500 berries while Machamp's group wanted to move closer to the biodome and Lucario's group wanted to visit every so often, which I allowed. During these weeks, some people left to gather the rest of the group and came back a week later. In week four, we took a picture as a group, as well as a picture of the helping Pokémon, and hung them in the building. And since Machamp's group came to live closer, I didn't need to help build them a home.
Oshawott's egg got closer and closer to hatching as well; it should hatch between the first and second week of next month.
Year 1 Months 32 Day 903 - Log 8:33 P.M - End of Week 129
At the beginning of the month, everyone returned home since it had been a while for most of them. However, they decided to come back in the third month for an excursion and in the fourth month for New Year's. Adaman, Irida, and Laventon mentioned that they would invite the wardens as well as the leaders.
In response, I started making snowboards, skis, and ice skating kits—two of each for everyone, just in case. They were simple to make with Machamp's help and should be done by the end of the month. I also paid them the owed berries the moment everyone left. It honestly should have been way more, but I can't complain; this place now has protection.
H. Oshawott finally hatched out of his egg around the end of the second week. As a male with the Mischievous trait, he's causing quite a few headaches already. I captured him with a H. Pokeball when he hatched. He has two egg moves: Detect and Copycat, and the Shell Armor ability—lucky for me, or else it would have been impossible.
Like Empy, I'll let him indulge in his mischief before tortu... training him properly: starting with physical abu... workouts, then moving on to sports for practice and learning, and finally, fighting.
Year 1 Months 33 Day 931 - Log 7:24 P.M - End of Week 133
This month, I finally had time to check my Sora template, which was finished. In exchange, I started working on the Bunshichi Tanba template (from Garouden), a fighting-oriented template. It's one I can train fairly quickly against the Fighting-type Pokémon here, and I aim to finish it before the end of the year if I give it everything. My other templates were at: Sasaki's went up by 3%, Tesla's went up to 67% (no surprise since I had worked on three intellectual-oriented templates), and Tanba's was already at 10%, thanks to my body being stronger than others, though everything else was new to me.
So, I began training in karate, wrestling, and street fighting. My plan is to teach Sekiro these skills once I finish the template. Obviously, it will take him longer to master them and the special techniques.
Week 1: I reviewed everything I could about these martial arts. Karate was more about self-development and defense, wrestling had an entertainment aspect, and street fighting was focused on surviving by any means. I found it absurd how different these arts are from each other.
Week 2: I started practicing karate and used every tool at my disposal to get through the basic katas and techniques from the training memory that came with the template to Senjou Muso.
Week 3: I took it a step further and mastered karate to a normal extent. I also incorporated my own beliefs into my practice. I believe that karate is a martial art meant to self-preserve: hurt if needed and protect when needed.
With karate out of the way, I began learning wrestling and street fighting. I went to the Machokes for help. I warned them beforehand that I was trying new fighting methods, which they initially disagreed with… until I beat them with karate. Then they were more open to helping a martial artist, as long as I helped them in return to become stronger, basically helping them master a type of martial art that wasn't boxing or wrestling.
Week 4: I think I broke the Machokes' expectations. They didn't think I could master something to a normal level in a week. I promised to help them if I could figure out how to elevate my martial arts further, which I knew how to do with my memories.
As with karate, I came to personal conclusions about wrestling and street fighting: wrestling is still for entertainment, but it's also about the ability to take a hit and not fall. Street fighting is solely for survival, with no room for discipline or honor unlike other arts.
Year 1 Months 34 Day 959 - Log 8:52 P.M - End of Week 137
I kept going with this schedule since it's how I would finish fastest. However, I did spend at least 4 hours a day training Raff's physical self.
Week 1: Using the same method as the previous month, I worked with the Machokes and Machamps to help with training. Just because I could defeat them didn't mean I was physically stronger; it was still challenging to land good hits, which made it worthwhile. I managed to master the nukite, kazura, and harite techniques, leaving only the Tiger King technique to master, which took another week. It helps that they knew how to control themselves.
Week 2: It didn't take long to master the Tiger King technique, and with it, the template was replaced by Tsutomu Himekawa, starting at 75%, due to his variant karate style and sundome technique. It should take me until next week to finish, mostly because I spent most of my time training or teaching it. Apart from that, I began teaching the Fighting-types that wanted to learn from me and also included Sekiro in the training.
This is what my schedule looked like, starting from morning at 6 a.m. to around 10:30 p.m.: Wake up and cook breakfast for 30 minutes -> Spend the next 4 hours training Raff (Oshawott) -> Another 8 hours training with the Fighting-types, including Sekiro, with lunch cooked in between -> 2 hours of break for hobbies or using Senior Muso to review training -> Cook dinner for 1.5 hours -> Shower and go to bed.
Week 3: Some good news this week—my first three Pokémon raised their proficiency to the advanced level and learned moves that correlate with other techniques. Raff, my Oshawott, began learning additional physical moves with help from others.
For my template, I finished it and incorporated what I learned to teach others. I replaced it with the Specs template, which was already at 90%. The Specs template focuses on resistance to water pressure and extended lung capacity as its main features. It should take about a week to complete, using the water pools in the home and my extra time during the day.
Week 4: Everything went as planned. I completed the Spec template early in the week, and as a result, I gained the ability Age Suppression, which keeps me at my physical prime without the effects of aging. To replace the template, I chose Nash Glod Jr., starting at 25%, because other fighting-based templates would take at least a year to complete, while Nash's offers more abilities and skills in less time. I also decided to make the gym underneath the observatory sport-oriented, which will require re-construction and is an objective for next year.
For now, I'm preparing for my guests arriving in 2 months. The plant life in the biodome has flourished: trees have become small trees, berries are fruiting regularly, flowers are blooming, and fruits are forming on branches. So far, everything is manageable.
Year 1 Months 35 Day 987 - Log 7:58 P.M - End of Week 141
This month was simple. I started setting out presents for New Year's for everyone. Why? Because I want to, and they helped me, even if it was brief for some. Apart from that, I managed to increase my templates: Nash's increased to 34%, Sasaki's went up by 3%, and Tesla's went up by 1%. Additionally, I am only actively training in Nash's template; the rest are worked on when I have the time.
For Adaman, I made a steampunk stopwatch. For Irida, I crafted a powerful telescope. For Laventon, Amari, and Rei, I got each of them a large notebook and a diary. While I would have liked to share some information about the Pokémon I know, that might have seemed suspicious. For Gaeric, I made dumbbells and weighted clothes—pants, shoes. For Ingo, I gave him a diary with a cover page featuring a train. For Palina, I created a pair of earrings from some of the oldest pearls I had harvested. For Iscan, I made a surfboard. For Sabi, I crafted a frisbee and a boomerang. For Colza, Belamy, Marie, Volo, and Ginter, I got log books and diaries, each featuring what they represent. For Melli, I got a full-body mirror. Now i also made some fireworks even if they weren't the fancy ones or that many of them.
Now I also want to write about my Pokémon. They all got somewhat stronger, advancing their previous moves to an advanced level while learning new ones. Raff, my Oshawott, quickly picked up moves from the others, but he learned moves to prank and annoy others the quickest.
Year 1 Months 36 Day 1 015 - Log 01:47 A.M - End of Week 145
New Year's is at the end of this month. But before I get to that, I want to list some things I need to do for next year and maybe carry on as ongoing projects.
My list:
- Pokémon: Training in martial arts and develop methods for learning new moves
- Study new subjects and enhance existing knowledge
- Get new and rare resources
- Build and improve equipment
- Finish my templates
- Explore the cave where I woke up
- Help my Pokémon evolve
My list of long term projects:
- Build a forge for stronger metals
- Create a Pokémon like Magearna
- Develop a plan to achieve my goal
For New Year's, as promised, everyone came over—and they arrived quite early too. However, Kamado and Cyllene, who are respectively the Commander and Captain of the Galaxy Expedition Team, were among the guests. Adaman brought Arezu and Mai, while Palina brought Lian and Calaba, whom I hadn't met yet. Volo and Ginter also brought down Cogita, who practically invited herself. Not that I minded, since she's Volo's grandmother.
Moving on, we skied, snowboarded, and did much more until late. Everyone participated, which was surprising—even the elderly Cogita joined in, showing a surprising amount of resilience. For food, I made a lot on top of what others brought, though the downside was that it drew in some of the surrounding Pokémon. To finish the night and the year, I set off fireworks, which might have been a mistake as it woke up quite a few Pokémon in the area. Luckily, they were captivated by what woke them up.
After that, everyone either went to bed or stayed up until they eventually turned in. I wasn't about to send people out in the dark, cold night on a mountain. I planned to give everyone their thank-you gifts the next morning when they woke up.
