The Pewter character card was loaded, and the physique of a Super Pewter was also loaded onto Kebi, which was why he could easily avoid Glameow’s claws.
Kebi released his hand, and Glameow gradually felt her body regain sensation.
“I just pressed Glameow’s appetite control acupoint; her appetite will improve from now on. If she doesn’t want to eat again, you can press this acupoint.”
The Captain curiously leaned over and hugged Glameow in his arms.
“Where is it? Where is it?”
Kebi pointed at Glameow’s back.
“Right here.”
The Captain suddenly understood, extended his thumb, and pressed down.
“Ow!”
Glameow let out a shrill Growl, furiously waved her cat claws, leaving three white marks on the Captain’s arm, and struggled to jump out of the Captain’s arms.
Didn’t break the skin?
Kebi’s eyes were filled with shock. Captain, are you really human?
Glameow’s attack couldn’t even break his defense; are you also a Super True Person?
No wonder the Captain called such a fierce Glameow “Little Kitty.”
The Captain smiled awkwardly, comforting Glameow.
“Next time, I’ll be gentler.”
The group returned to the kitchen, and the chef led Kebi to the storeroom.
“This is where ingredients for the crew and their Pokémon are stored. You can pick whatever you like.”
Kebi picked up an Oran Berry, sniffed its fragrance, and then took a bite.
“The quality is excellent.”
Any one he casually picked up was better than the carefully selected Berries he found in the market.
The Captain waved his hand directly, “After you finish making Glameow’s food, you can choose some to make food reserves for your Pokémon.”
“I have a friend who bought an island to live a pastoral life. These are all products from his farm: Berries, wheat, Miltank’s fresh milk, and Gogoat’s fresh milk.”
Kebi’s eyes lit up as he selected some Oran Berries and peach berries, flour, and Gogoat’s fresh milk.
“Then I won’t be polite.”
Back in the kitchen, Kebi showed the Captain his exquisite cooking skills.
Half an hour later, watching Glameow eat heartily without regard for her image, the Captain was filled with emotion.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Glameow eat like this. You’re quite something, kid.”
As he spoke, his large palm patted Kebi’s shoulder.
It went numb, his entire left shoulder was numb.
Kebi’s body, which had been exercising for years, still hadn’t evolved to the level of a Super True Person.
Even a Super True Person might not be able to withstand the Captain’s large hand.
“The Captain’s physique is no less than that of Bruno, the Kanto Fighting Elite. He must also be a powerful Trainer, right?”
The Captain, however, smiled and waved his hand, “I only raised a Chatot and Glameow. When I encounter a battle, I can only Pound with my own fists.”
“Raising Pokémon is too difficult; I’m not good at such delicate work.”
Kebi’s face twitched.
“Captain, perhaps you could try raising Fighting attribute Pokémon. A Fighting Masters like you, teaching by example, could always raise excellent Fighting attribute Pokémon.”
The Captain thoughtfully clapped his hands, “Right, Fighting attribute Pokémon! Why didn’t I think of that? Young people’s minds are just better.”
The chef, however, shook his head, only hoping that the poor Fighting attribute Pokémon wouldn’t be flattened by the Captain’s Iron Fist.
“There’s a training ground on the ship for sailors to train Pokémon. You can go there to train your Pokémon. I also like to go there to drill my sailors.”
No wonder the sailors on the ship are all so robust; it turns out it’s because of you, Captain.
“If little brother Kebi needs it, I can teach you some tips for physical exercise.”
Kebi bowed directly.
“Please, you must teach me!”
The Pewter character card only contained Pewter’s breeding knowledge, with no knowledge of being a Trainer.
The physical exercise techniques taught by the Captain could not only be used by Kebi, but he could also slightly adapt them based on his breeding knowledge to be used by Piplup and Chimchar.
At the Captain’s invitation, Kebi came to the crew’s training ground.
There weren’t many crew members and Pokémon training in the training ground, but each one was very serious, and their movements were very professional.
The crew’s Pokémon were also Water attribute and Flying attribute, suitable for use on a ship.
Coincidentally, one crew member was training a Prinplup.
Prinplup
lv70 lv30
Ability: Torrent
Aptitude: Blue (71/100)
Status: Serious
Evolution can improve a Pokémon’s aptitude. After completing one stage of evolution, Prinplup’s aptitude is still only blue, with a completion of 71. Even if it eventually evolves into Empoleon,
this Prinplup’s aptitude will likely be similar to a Piplup fresh out of the institute.
It might even be lower than Piplup’s.
“Prinplup, keep it up! Just a little more effort, and you’ll evolve into Empoleon!”
Simply pursuing evolution without exploring the potential of each stage of a Pokémon.
This guy has no Trainer talent; no wonder he came to be a sailor.
The Captain followed Kebi’s gaze, “Is there a problem with A-Cheng’s training?”
Kebi shook his head, “Everyone has their own ideas. I’m just an apprentice; I wouldn’t arrogantly say that someone else’s method is wrong.”
“Evolution is the most convenient and direct way for Pokémon to gain strength, but this path is also the shortest. It’s just the difference between enduring hardship first and enjoying later, or enjoying first and enduring hardship later.”
“Captain, please continue teaching me physical exercise techniques.”
After hearing Kebi’s words, the Captain appreciated him even more.
“Trainers travel everywhere; these equipment trainings aren’t suitable for you. I’ll teach you some weighted physical training and muscle development training techniques.”
Kebi took out his notebook and listened to the Captain ramble on for almost an hour.
The Captain was a person who acted on impulse; the techniques he described were practical but not coherent. He might talk about one thing one moment and switch to another the next.
The content written in the notebook still required Kebi to repeatedly ponder, practice, and summarize to form a systematic training method.
“Come, let’s practice with weights. Since this is your first time wearing weights, let’s start with a ten-kilogram vest, and five kilograms on each hand and foot.”
With twenty kilograms of weight on him, Kebi moved his limbs twice; it wasn’t too much of a burden.
The Captain grinned. For some reason, Kebi felt as if he had seen a devil.
“First, do five hundred push-ups, five hundred frog jumps, and then run ten kilometers.”
Kebi’s eyes widened.
“Captain, are you conscious?”
The Captain’s previous kindness vanished, and he sternly glared at Kebi.
“If you can’t even complete this much training, how do you expect to become a powerful Trainer?!”
The Captain was right; could mere five hundred push-ups, five hundred frog jumps, and a ten-kilometer run really stump him!?
Kebi took a deep breath and started doing push-ups with the weights on.
With the added twenty kilograms of weight, Kebi realized how difficult it was to complete this set of training. As he did them, the Captain corrected the wrong points of force in his movements.
After completing it with difficulty, Kebi felt as if his entire body was burnt out.
The Captain came to him, holding a bowl of green liquid.
“Drink it.”
With a strong herbal smell, Kebi took it and drank it all in one gulp.
Bitter! Extremely bitter!
Kebi almost jumped up.
“This taste… is Energy Root!”
The Captain nodded, “That’s right, it’s Energy Root. Drinking some Energy Root after exercise can quickly restore your condition and has a great promoting effect on muscle growth.”
Indeed, after drinking the liquid, Kebi felt the fatigue in his body rapidly draining away.
He even had the urge to do another set.
Combining his recent personal experience, Kebi formulated a basic training regimen for Piplup and Chimchar.
Piplup needed to maintain stamina and have a stable lower body, so it would practice frog jumps and running.
Chimchar needed to be agile, so it would practice horse stance, frog jumps, push-ups, and running.
“Captain, could you give me some pointers on punching techniques, both for offense and defense?”
The Captain heartily clenched his fists and swung them twice, creating a gust of wind.
“No problem!”
Kebi released both Piplup and Chimchar.
“Piplup, Chimchar, our first training session is about to begin.”
The Captain explained four types of punching: straight punch, hook, uppercut, and whip punch.
Kebi keenly noticed that the hook and whip punch suited Piplup’s round body, while Chimchar, naturally suited for Fighting, could master all four punching techniques.
After listening to the Captain’s explanation, Kebi put five-Pound weights on both of them and had them start learning to Pound.
Once their bodies remembered how to Pound, they would run back and forth in this open space in the corner of the training ground while punching.
Pokémon battles rarely offer opportunities for stationary output.
They must learn to attack while moving.
Kebi also ran and punched alongside them.
They ran for almost twenty minutes.
“Just a little longer! If you sweat today, you won’t cry on the battlefield. I believe you can do it!”
Encouraged by Kebi, the tired Piplup and Chimchar felt a new surge of strength in their bodies, and their swinging arms became powerful again.
Kebi also used his Pewter character card to observe their condition.
After another ten minutes, Kebi spoke:
“Alright, you can stop now.”
