Piloswine and Golett had already returned. He wondered how Haunter was doing now?
Tetsuya could not help but sigh. At present, in terms of overall strength, Haunter was the strongest in his team. Without it, he was indeed greatly affected.
After nearly four months, Piloswine had become thinner, and its spirit was somewhat listless. After meals, Tetsuya began taking it for walks on the grassland, just like a patient who had been bedridden for four months, first needing to get the body's muscles moving again. Of course, it also needed to be done step by step.
Golett was not affected much. Its body surface had fused with Bright Powder, and it originally could not move for three months. Now it was just right. Its body could move again, and Bright Powder had firmly bonded to its body, as if it had become a part of it.
Fortunately, the energy diffusion in Golett chest had not contracted. In this way, Tetsuya felt even more confident about his plan to spread the sealed energy inside Golett throughout its body.
Ditto became extremely excited upon seeing Piloswine and Golett, constantly rubbing against Tetsuya's wrist. Tetsuya could only comfort it. Now was still not the time to bring it out openly.
After walking around once, Tetsuya took out Eternal Ice and let Piloswine lick it. Its body instantly shuddered, and its mane trembled along with it.
As expected, this was still effective.
It did not matter if Takuya and Haruto saw Eternal Ice. Such a legendary treasure was extremely rare even in the entire world. Apart from a few Ice-type authorities like Pryce, no one recognized this thing. When Takuya asked, Tetsuya casually said "Oh, Never-Melt Ice" and brushed it off.
Every day, Tetsuya let Piloswine and Golett eat and then walk, gradually turning into a light jog, and eventually running. Recently, Tetsuya had not let Beedrill train any new moves.
Instead, it was doing the simplest strengthening training, flying.
At present, Golett's training task was very easy, and it could just help Beedrill with special training.
Gravity. From the first day he saw Golett, this move was what caught his attention. Because Golett had lived in a sealed ruin for hundreds of years, it was adept at sensing and manipulating various gases, allowing it to make good use of air pressure to use Gravity.
Now that Golett's body coordination had not yet reached its best state, those moves that required, well… movement, could not be used properly, but fortunately, Gravity did not require movement and could be used perfectly.
Under Golett's control, a range of a Gravity field was formed.
"Beedrill, fly within the Gravity field."
After Tetsuya spoke, Beedrill flew into the Gravity field. The force of the Gravity was many times stronger than that of four weights. As soon as it entered the field, it was pressed heavily onto the ground. Beedrill tried to use its stingers to support itself and get up.
Tetsuya stopped it and said, "Beedrill, what we are training now is your flying skills. Use your wings to fly."
---◓---
Beedrill's speed relied entirely on its wings. Agility was only a move that temporarily concentrated energy into the wings to increase speed.
What Tetsuya wanted to train was a permanent increase in "speed", pushing Beedrill's speed to its extreme. Then the move Agility would no longer exist for it, because it would always be moving at "Agility" high speed!
Beedrill kept flapping its wings. The frequency of its flapping became faster and faster, even reaching more than three times its usual rate. Finally, it managed to fly within the Gravity field.
However, it was clear that Beedrill was flying with great difficulty. Because this training consumed too much stamina and energy, it basically had to rest once after flying for an hour.
Piloswine was also running within his line of sight, exercising its body.
After more than a week of recovery training, Piloswine and Golett had both roughly returned to their level from four months ago.
Beedrill could now persist in flying within the Gravity field for one and a half hours at a time, and its flying speed had also improved to a certain extent.
Now Tetsuya already had three Pokémon. Compared to the goal of the first stage, it had been achieved. In another two months, the first round of eliminations would take place.
During these two months, Tetsuya planned to focus on training his Pokémon. Piloswine at the very least needed to reach a level where it could properly learn Blizzard. Beedrill would mainly continue flying training within the Gravity field and also needed to reach the level to learn Poison Jab and Agility.
Golett had to continue its energy diffusion exercise. Within two months, it had to integrate energy throughout every part of its body, allowing its body coordination to reach the level of Pokémon with organic "natural" bodies and be able to carry out simple battles.
This was the plan Tetsuya had formulated. All three Pokémon were full of enthusiasm and passion, ready to devote themselves to training!
However, such a place was too conspicuous, so Tetsuya decided to go to the back side of the island.
Crossing the entire forest, then passing over the mountain where Rhydon had been captured, they would reach the shaded side of the mountain.
There, the terrain undulated with many slopes, and the vegetation consisted of coniferous forests. It rarely saw sunlight throughout the year, and few people went there. With the terrain, there were many places to hide, making it a good location for "secret" training.
However, Tetsuya's current goal was to quickly improve the strength of his Pokémon, so he chose to pass through the southern side of the island.
Firstly, Tetsuya had not explored much of the northern side of the island, and the level of danger was unclear. Moreover, passing through the southern side allowed them to avoid the poisonous forest.
During these days, Takuya and Haruto were only doing basic training for their four Pokémon, improving their physical condition. As for how to train next, they were waiting for Tetsuya's instructions.
Tetsuya only said one sentence, "Combine basic training with move training." As for how much of those words they could comprehend… well, that depended on themselves.
Now Tetsuya controlled their level very strictly.
Originally, the two already had solid basic knowledge, and now they had further reinforced their basic training, already surpassing many people. However, without more advanced training, their strength could only remain at this level, still far behind Tetsuya.
These two burdens would have fulfilled their value if they could help him catch that Houndoom.
---◓---
Tetsuya began to cross the forest, of course at a slow pace.
Since Piloswine and Golett had now fully recovered, the training intensity would naturally increase.
Piloswine and Beedrill walked in front, while Golett used Gravity to suppress them. Tetsuya, Takuya, and Haruto followed behind.
What was originally a three-day journey took a full week this time. They finally reached the back side of the island. Tetsuya set up a tent among several coniferous trees. With two months remaining, he did not plan to go anywhere else and would quietly dedicate to the special training here.
Tetsuya originally planned not to leave this place for two months.
Only then did Takuya and Haruto realize that they each only had two Pokémon, yet in two months they would need at least three. They could only temporarily leave Tetsuya to catch their third Pokémon. Now that the two of them had Houndour, two strong Pokémon, they would not easily encounter danger.
Tetsuya was also happy to train alone here for a period of time.
