Paul had a clear pn for Elekid.

  With the current level of Elekid, it is enough to prove how strong it is now. However, this strength also presented a challenge—ventional trainihods were being less effective.

  sidering that Elekid was still in its unevolved juveage, possessing such power was already exceptional. Pokémon like Elekid and Blissey often faced signifit limitations in their early stages. Unlike more standard Pokémon like Turtwig or Vulpix, these juvenile forms struggled with moves and agility.

  Thus, rather than fog on brute strength training with minimal returns, it made more seo pivot toward move training, emphasizing energy manipution aer trol over their power.

  As for Turtwig and Vulpix…

  "Once you're rested, get ready for training. Turtwig, head over there to grow stronger." Paul instructed, pointing toward a se of the waterfall where the current wasn't too intense.

  "Turrr-twig!"

  Turtwig responded eically, shaking a few soft leaves by its side to tickle Vulpix's nose and wake it up.

  "Vuuulpix—achoo!"

  Sneezing adorably, Vulpix leapt lightly off Turtwig's bading gracefully on the ground and stretg its limbs.

  Once Vulpix was off, Turtwig immediately charged toward the waterfall, bravely stepping onto a rock beh the rushing water.

  "Twig!"

  The moment it stepped uhe cascade, Turtwig felt the overwhelming force of the water crashing down on its body. It almost lost its footing.

  "Focus your breathing, lower your ter of gravity, and root yourself firmly." Paul advised.

  Turtwig quickly calmed itself, l its body slightly as it gritted its teeth to ehe torrent. Slowly, it extended roots from its feet.

  Though standing on solid rock, the vitality of pnts—and Pokémon—was unparalleled. The roots spread across the rock, ing around it and burrowing into every crevice, seg a stable hold.

  Once rooted, Turtwig began drawing energy and nutrients from the earth to recover its stamina. The sprout on its head glowed softly as its strength returned.

  As a Grass-type Pokémon with the row ability, Turtwig boasted exceptional recovery and adaptability. Within two minutes, it had found its footing uhe waterfall, and by the three-minute mark, it had adjusted to the relentless force of the water.

  "Alright, start growing with all yht." Paul anded.

  At his words, Turtwig began its growth process.

  "Vulpix, maintain Sunny Day." Paul instructed the other Pokémon.

  "Vul-pix!"

  In an instant, Vulpix shook off its earlier lethargy. A glowing orb materialized and rose into the sky, dissipating to intensify the sunlight in the area.

  The sunlight grew harsher within a radius of several hundred meters, providing an abundance of sor energy.

  This boosted Turtwig's growth rate, allowing it to establish a new energy equilibrium within its body.

  With Sunny Day, the effects of its growth were doubled.

  Uhe harsh sunlight and rushing water, Turtwig's training pushed it to its limits. If life wasn't destroyed by such adversity, it would flourish more.

  The most beautiful flowers often bloom in the harshest ditions. By training under such difficulty, Turtwig would not only enhas growth but also deepen its uanding of the process.

  However, the scorg sunlight and turbulent water signifitly reduced the effectiveness of Elekid's Ice Punbsp;.

  Each punch barely mao freeze the water's surface before shattering within 0.1 seds. Freezing the entire river was simply a pipe dream.

  “Bzzt-Bzzt…”

  Elekid pouted, quietly shuffling closer t. Keeping a few meters' dista began training with fierce determination, gring at Turtwig as if challenging it.

  "Twig?!"

  This bizarre behavior left Turtwig utterly fused. Was this some kind of motivational tactic?

  I'll try it too!

  Thinking of this, the look in Turtwig's eyes when looking at Elekid suddenly ged. The roots of his feet began to absorb the energy of the earth with all his strength, as if he wao suck Elekid dry.

  After just a moment, Turtwig discovered that this kind of training seemed to be more effective and motivating.

  "Apply gravity." Paul anded.

  A wave of gravity enveloped the area, instantly making the bodies of the two pokemon heavier and they trained even harder.

  Paul on the side couldn't uand the mysterious operations of Elekid and Turtwig, but si seemed there was no problem, he didn't bother to care about it and put his remaining energy on Vulpix.

  "Vul-!"

  When Paul noticed it, Vulpix immediately became serious and looked very motivated.

  Paul had numerous pns for Vulpix—whether it involved psychic abilities, fire moves, physical stamina, or even its Drought ability. But training ot be rushed, it has to be doep by step.

  "Pick up all the small stones nearby." Paul poio an area with a lot of rubble on the nearby shore.

  "Vul!"

  A blue light fshed in his eyes, and his supernatural power was activated. All the small stones were trolled by the mysterious ford flew to Paul and piled up in a pile.

  "Your use of super powers is not bad, but today's goal is not this, but your tail."

  "Vul??"

  He stretched out his six cute furry tails and shook them, and Vulpix was fused.

  Tail, raining?Training to tickle?

  The thought of tail training briefly amused Vulpix, but as it g the pile of stones, a sinking feeling crept in.

  "That's right. I'll throw these sto you, and you'll use your tails—or your head—to deflect every single one."

  A six-tailed Vulpix would eventually evolve into a ailed ales. If Pokémon like Drapion with oail or Electivire with two tails could demonstrate incredible power, then training Vulpix's tails was absolutely essential.

  Paul's resolve to bee a "tail master" much like his memory of another version of himself, meant this training was noiable.

  Vulpix gulped nervously, its pyful attitude repced with seriousness. Its tails usually decorative and fluffy, and were about to be onized.

  "Here we go." Paul said, tossing the first stone.

  "Vul!"

  Instinctively, Vulpix dodged with a quick sidestep, only to meet Paul's cold and unyielding gaze.

  "If you keep dodging, I won't hold back." He warned, hurling multiple sto once.

  “Ahh!”

  Caught off guard, Vulpix yelped as the storuck, looking pitifully at Paul for mercy.

  Unfortunately, the hard-hearted Paul simply ighis pity.

  Sg off during training and expeg to perform in battle? Not on his watch.
