章節 1061: Learning
On this day, Yuga was leisurely sitting on a chair in the gym's courtyard, resting.
In the yard, a Bagon was energetically using Dragon Claw to launch fierce attacks using Dragon Claw at the Mimikyu opposite it, which was rapidly retreating while using Shadow Claw to block the attacks.
Not far away, Kartana was swiftly swinging its Leaf Blade at the Aegislash opposite it.
Kartana's arms moved so fast that only a blur could be seen.
On the other side, Aegislash had separated its sword and shield, using King's Shield to quickly change forms and defend while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack with Sacred Sword.
The Bagon battling Mimikyu had hatched from an egg that Yuga had healed with the Resurrection Water.
After a week of treatment, as predicted by the system, the egg's life crisis was averted.
Yuga successfully completed the system task and received the universal Pokeblock recipe for Fighting-type Pokémon.
Because the Bagon had already gained consciousness while still in the egg, it appeared particularly mature upon hatching, not at all like a newly hatched Pokémon.
It knew that Yuga was the one who saved it, and it was very close to Yuga.
After the Bagon hatched, Yuga took it to Meteor Village as promised.
Although the training camp there was still under construction, the person in charge recognized Yuga, allowing him to smoothly meet Salamence again.
When Yuga saw Salamence, it was still confined in that cave.
However, thanks to Yuga's promise, the once frantic, irritable, and obsessive Salamence now appeared very calm.
As soon as Yuga entered the cave with Bagon, Salamence immediately recognized its child.
The blood connection between parent and child was enough to prove their relationship without any introduction or explanation from Yuga.
Seeing Bagon hatch healthily, the Salamence was overjoyed to the point of tears.
It had waited for this day for many years, and now its child had finally hatched; it wasn't a dream.
After meeting Bagon, Yuga fulfilled his promise to Salamence.
Salamence, in turn, was to fulfill the promise it made to Yuga.
So, after Yuga left Meteor Village, Salamence was released from the cave and became the guardian Pokémon of the training camp.
Freed from the cave, Salamence was now a free Pokémon.
It could leisurely sunbathe in the valley of Meteor Village or flap its wings at any time to visit Verdanturf Town and see Bagon.
In short, the now-free Salamence had become an unrestrained Pokémon.
While it spent most of its time guarding Meteor Village, it was free to go wherever it wanted, and the League did not impose many restrictions on it.
Of course, the frequent visits Salamence made to Verdanturf Town to see Bagon are another story.
The first time Yuga saw Salamence in Verdanturf Town, he was so startled that he almost thought he was seeing things.
Due to its mature personality, Bagon insisted on training with Yuga's other Pokémon from the moment it was born.
It had a meticulous attitude towards training, which made Yuga think that it was somewhat influenced by its past experiences.
Among Yuga's main Pokémon, Mimikyu had the lowest level, so it was tasked with training with Bagon most of the time.
Although Mimikyu hadn't been with Yuga for long, its progress was rapid due to its high potential.
Its strength was far beyond that of the newly hatched Bagon, so during their training sessions, Mimikyu mostly defended passively and didn't actively attack.
Just like now, even though Mimikyu could easily knock Bagon away with a slight use of Shadow Claw, it didn't do so.
Instead, it kept retreating while using Shadow Claw to defend against Bagon's Dragon Claw.
Bagon's goal for the day was to land a single hit on Mimikyu while it was defending.
Although this seemed like an easy goal, it was quite challenging for the current Bagon.
Yuga wasn't strict with the newly hatched Bagon and didn't rush to have it learn many skills.
Most of the training was focused on building a solid foundation, including basic physical training.
However, being a blue-potential Pokémon, Bagon not only easily learned basic skills like Ember, Leer, Bite, and Dragon Breath but also inadvertently mastered Dragon Claw during training.
Since Bagon's level was not high and it hadn't been long since it learned Dragon Claw, it was still quite inexperienced in using it.
This is why it was seen today fiercely attacking Mimikyu with a Dragon Claw.
Then there was Aegislash.
Having just awakened from a three-thousand-year slumber, it felt lost about its future.
Following Yuga's suggestion, it decided to stay with Yuga for the time being, and Yuga promised to take it back to the Kalos region if the opportunity arose.
Although Aegislash couldn't clearly remember the location of its master's tomb due to the passage of time, there were still some clues.
Yuga thought of the friend who sold Aegislash as an antique to Takahiro Ogata.
Since that person could take Aegislash out of the tomb, it meant he knew the location of the tomb.
After contacting Takahiro Ogata, Yuga learned that Takahiro Ogata was temporarily unable to reach his friend, as this friend was an adventure enthusiast and had already set out on another expedition with his companions, making him unreachable for the time being.
During the time Aegislash stayed with Yuga, its level steadily recovered due to the continuous absorption of the Shadow Space Origin Stone fragments' energy.
Moreover, after a period of adjustment, Aegislash gradually became accustomed to the world three thousand years later and even became good friends with Dusknoir.
Both of these Pokémon were ancient Pokémon, and they shared a mutual appreciation for each other because of their long histories.
However, the two Pokémon not only came from different continents but also from different eras.
Dusknoir had lived for over a thousand years, while Aegislash was born more than three thousand years ago.
In comparison, Dusknoir, having traveled extensively, was much more knowledgeable, whereas Aegislash, having been asleep until recently, still largely retained the behaviors and mindset of feudal times.
Having served the ancient royal family, Aegislash didn't have the concept of "partners" between trainers and Pokémon.
It still held onto the notion of "master" and "servant beast" when it came to human and Pokémon relationships.
Therefore, it treated Yuga, who had taken it in, with extreme respect and rigidity.
In ancient times, Pokémon were referred to as "beasts," and humans' attitudes toward them were about "taming" and "domesticating."
This often resulted in a deep-seated "servitude" in the Pokémon, which was hard to change.
Having spent time in the ancient Arus Kingdom era over a thousand years ago, Yuga was well aware of this.
Dusknoir, having lived from ancient times to the present, had witnessed the evolution of human and Pokémon relationships firsthand, so this wasn't as noticeable with it.
But Aegislash was different.
Yuga felt that Aegislash still carried remnants of this feudal "servitude," particularly influenced by the notion of a "master."
However, such things couldn't be changed overnight, so Yuga didn't dwell too much on it.
One thing that made Yuga happy was that Kartana's swordsmanship training was finally on track, as Aegislash was an excellent swordsmanship master.
Yuga had long wanted to find a swordsmanship teacher for Kartana, but swordsmanship masters were not easy to come by.
Unexpectedly, he found one without much effort.
In ancient times, without Poké Balls, it was inconvenient for humans to carry many Pokémon, so they couldn't domesticate many Pokémon.
As a result, it was difficult to have enough Pokémon to protect themselves closely during battles.
For their safety, they often learned various survival skills.
Even in modern times, this habit of trainers participating in battles has persisted.
The most notable example is Kanto's Fighting-type Master, Bruno, whose formidable martial arts skills are said to match those of Fighting-type Pokémon.
The original master of Aegislash was very skilled in swordsmanship, so Aegislash's combat techniques incorporated many elements of "swordsmanship."
Compared to Mr. Genzo, who taught Decidueye archery, Aegislash is more suitable for teaching Kartana.
After all, Genzo is human, and humans differ significantly from Pokémon in both body structure and combat style.
Thus, Pokémon can only adapt human skills to a limited extent, whereas the limitations are much less between Pokémon.
With Aegislash's guidance, Kartana indeed made rapid progress in swordsmanship.
Aegislash and Kartana share a common trait—they both know the rare move Sacred Sword.
Although Sacred Sword is a Fighting-type move, it perfectly suits both the non-fighting-type Kartana and Aegislash.
Moreover, Aegislash has a high level of mastery in this move.
Kartana has great talent in swordsmanship, so Aegislash never holds back when teaching it.
Now, Kartana has gained new insights into the Sacred Sword move.
However, there are significant differences between Kartana and Aegislash.
Kartana is a fast-attacking Pokémon, characterized by high attack power and speed.
Aegislash, on the other hand, has high attack power in its Blade Forme but is not fast.
When facing an enemy attack, Kartana's most common response is to use its exceptional speed to dodge, while Aegislash's first reaction is to switch to Shield Forme using King's Shield for defense.
This difference in racial traits leads to different reactions from different Pokémon when facing the same situation.
In order to prevent its own combat habits from influencing Kartana, Aegislash arranged for special training today.
Back to the battle in the courtyard training field.
Because it was training the Dragon Claw move, Yuga instructed Bagon to use only Dragon Claw against Mimikyu and no other moves, making today's battle especially challenging for Bagon.
Mimikyu was exceptionally skilled in controlling its body, while Bagon, having just been born, was still very immature, and its movements were far from being as smooth and natural as Mimikyu's.
Bang!
Although Mimikyu had no intention of counterattacking Bagon, it couldn't help but send Bagon flying while defending with Shadow Claw against Dragon Claw.
Bagon rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
Seeing Bagon, who had stood up again, breathing heavily with its chest heaving, Yuga called out, "Alright, Bagon, that's enough for today. Take a break."
Overtraining wasn't good for the young and tender Bagon.
Bagon, being very obedient, immediately trotted over to Yuga on its short legs.
Yuga picked up a glass of Moomoo Milk mixed with Sweet Honey from a nearby table and handed it to Bagon.
Bagon gulped it down quickly, enjoying every drop, and then licked its lips with great satisfaction.
Bagon was very sensible, mature, and quiet.
If it had any particular likes, it was Moomoo Milk with Sweet Honey.
Having a glass of Moomoo Milk after training was the happiest thing for Bagon.
Watching Bagon drink the milk with half-closed eyes and a contented expression, Yuga smiled.
No matter how many times he saw it, he always found Bagon's post-milk expression adorable, creating a contrast with its usual demeanor.
Mimikyu wasn't interested in Moomoo Milk or Sweet Honey.
It preferred to absorb energy in the shadow space, so as soon as the training ended, it dove into the shadow space.
On the other side, Kartana and Aegislash were also wrapping up their training.
Aegislash, now in Shield Forme, allowed Kartana's attacks to fall on it to highlight their differences.
However, Kartana's attacks couldn't harm Aegislash at all.
Speaking of Aegislash, its Steel/Ghost-type combination gave it excellent resistance.
Besides being weak to Ground, Fire, Ghost, and Dark types, it resisted or was immune to twelve other types.
Therefore, once it transformed into its Shield Forme, Aegislash's defense became incredibly strong.
Kartana's sharp arms glowed with dark energy as Night Slash attacks landed on Aegislash, producing clanging sounds without causing it to retreat.
At that moment, Aegislash suddenly switched from Shield Forme to Blade Forme, and a Sacred Sword attack transformed into a massive energy blade, striking Kartana.
Caught off guard, Kartana was hit and fell lightly from the air.
In fact, Kartana's physical defense wasn't weak; on the contrary, its Steel typing made it quite strong.
Its main weakness was its special defense.
However, Aegislash wanted to show Kartana that if it had reacted quickly enough, it could have dodged the attack, given its high speed.
But Kartana, influenced by Aegislash, forgot to dodge in battle and focused solely on attacking.
While Aegislash could withstand and defend against attacks, that didn't mean Kartana could do the same, as their roles were different.
Seeing Kartana faint, Yuga quickly had Chimecho heal it.
Aegislash had been careful with its attack, and Kartana soon regained consciousness.
With Aegislash's guidance, Kartana immediately realized it had fallen into a misconception.
Although it was learning from Aegislash, it didn't mean it should completely adopt Aegislash's combat style.
