Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 218 The body and mind are one (35)

"Snapped"

"If your waist sinks, don't stand up!"

In the waist-deep water, the old man was exercising with Lai and Fujishu.

Although he has an outstanding physique, Lai has not received any systematic training as a fighter and has only practiced a few times with the help of Mori's pamphlets. Faced with the contact plan designed by the fighting gym owner himself, Lai soon became unable to bear it. .

However, the fat old man who smiled like Maitreya Buddha that day suddenly transformed into a strict teacher. If he made the slightest mistake, he would hit him with a cane.

Fortunately for Teng Shu, after years of training, he has already adapted.But Lai, who had just arrived for a few days, was complaining a lot.

In the first two days, with his strong physical fitness, Lai could relatively easily complete the subjects assigned by the old man. However, starting from the third day, even the power of his heart was unable to eliminate the fatigue in his body. The accumulated soreness made him feel a lot. Movements began to deform, especially such a costly task as zama step in the waves.

Now, it has been the fifth day of training. Huge fatigue washed over Lai's body like a tide. Looking at the partners who were training under the leadership of Naqi from the corner of his eye, Lai could only grit his teeth and not be too in front of them. lose face.

Using strength from his waist and legs, he forced himself to stand firm again.

The old man standing behind seemed a little tired in the undulations of the sea. After all, he was old and no longer the warrior who could fight side by side with the Iron Palm Warriors.But looking at the two young men in front of him, he still showed a pleased look, cheered up, and continued to help them train.

······
On the beach, the beautiful dragon that had just finished a project looked straight in the direction of Lai, with a faint flash of anger in its eyes. The natural bird it had never dealt with was also standing on its shoulders, two The Pokémon briefly reached an agreement and chirped at the unscrupulous old man over there.

Jirachi, who was wearing a big coat, felt a little bored on the beach. He had returned to the Poké Ball to rest. He had just come out again and secretly drank a sip of Naqi's juice in the blind spot of Naqi's sight. He thought he was doing it very covertly. He snickered and returned to the elf ball, but he didn't know that it was Naqi who had prepared it alone.

The Swamp Monster and the Iron Palm Warrior are still in fighting training, and the fight between you and me is very lively. Although the Iron Palm Warrior is obviously at a disadvantage, he is not vulnerable. As a sparring partner for the Swamp Monster, the effect is still very good.Marilu also followed, doing physical exercises with several of Tengshu's Pokémon. Compared with these hard-trained fighting Pokémon, Marilu still has some room for improvement. This is why Lai Chi There is no reason for it to evolve.

Led by Tanabata blue bird and Lai's toucan gull, a group of flying Pokémon are patrolling and training on the sea surface, playing various skills on the sea surface.It feels boring from time to time, and several Pokémon will be separated in twos for sparring. After absorbing the dragon slough, Tanabata Blue Bird's strength has been further improved. Not only the energy level has been rapidly improved, but the mastery of attribute energy has also been improved to a higher level. He vaguely touched the extraordinary realm, and every time he sparred with the big-billed gull, he was evenly matched.

······
A wave hit Lai on the face, causing him to lose his balance and sit in the water.

"Stand up and keep standing!"

The old man's voice came quickly, urging him constantly.After shaking his wet body and hair, Lai stood up again and continued to face the wind and waves.

In his tired body, there was faintly a weak electric current swimming back and forth, but even with the power of the heart, he didn't feel it at all.

During the break, Lai mentioned his vague perception to the old man, which attracted Teng Shu's surprised eyes. He looked at Lai as if he were looking at a monster and said, "You don't feel angry like this, do you? "

"Please describe the feeling at that time in more detail." The old man also sat up straight and looked at Lai seriously.

Lai carefully recalled his feelings at that time and described: "It felt like there was a weak electric current from the feet up, up the thighs, into the torso, and then into the arms and brain. There was a very vague numbness."

"Well, this is 'qi'. The reason why fighters can rely on the relatively weak body of humans to fight Pokémon head-on is because of their Qi. Its existence can be understood as the kind of thing that everyone has. Opportunity has a special ability, but it has obvious limitations in terms of strength. Most people can only strengthen their bodies, and only a handful of truly gifted beings can strengthen themselves to the point of competing with Pokémon."

After the explanation, the old man took out a pamphlet from his arms, handed it to Lai, and said: "Originally, I thought I would give it to you when you set off, so that you could train more so that you wouldn't waste this time. Achievements. Unexpectedly, I still underestimated your physical fitness and talent."

While Lai was flipping through it quickly, the old man emphasized: "You are already relatively old. Even if you have 'Qi', it can only be the icing on the cake. The main job of a trainer is training and commanding. Don't sacrifice the good for the weak."

In this regard, Laishen nodded in agreement: "You are right, Mr. Kiyooka, I think so too. No matter how I train, it is impossible to catch up with the strength of the giant swamp monsters. The purpose of training is to When facing enemies in the wild, don’t hold them back.”

"Well, this is a good idea." The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction and continued, "However, this is not the only purpose. In the past few days, I can feel that although your meditation is very rough, even It can be said that you are letting yourself go, but your mental power is extremely strong, and you seem to have some kind of special power. Am I right?"

When his secret was revealed, Lai's pupils dilated slightly, but seeing that the two people around him had already noticed it and had no ill intentions, he simply admitted it, slightly showing the power of the heart's detection ability.

"Your body is already very good, but it is still insufficient compared to your mental strength. This is why I kept you a few days ago. A good body is the foundation of a strong spirit. No matter how powerful your soul is, if you lack A strong body is also a tree without roots. If a person wants to be strong, his body and mind must develop together, because they are one." As he spoke, the old man tapped Lai's left thigh, right shoulder and right wrist.

A slight tingling sensation slowly emerged, and Rai's eyes showed surprise. Even though he had the power of the heart, he didn't notice it.

"It's difficult for a healer to heal himself. It can also be said that your spirit is not strong enough. Remember to treat yourself when you go back, and take a good look at the booklet given to you. Don't come here again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Go to the gym and I will teach you some new things. thing."

After saying that, the old man made a gesture to get up, but Teng Shu hurriedly stepped forward, helped up the old man who had also worked hard for a day, and the two of them walked slowly back to the fighting gym in the distance.
