Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 4 Best and Most Suitable
On the training ground, the struggle has reached a critical stage.

One minute passed, and the two opponents with huge differences in stature were almost evenly matched in terms of strength.

The water jumping fish landed on all fours, leaving four deep and short traces on the beach. What is even more surprising is that the traces appeared behind it.

In front of him, a pair of giant claws of the Iron Claw Lobster were flashing white light. It was obviously using the technique from the genetic skill [Brute Force], but it still could not completely block the unreasonable and brutal force of the Water Jumping Fish. .

What is in front of it does not seem to be a small leaping fish, but a wave that is ready to go.

Step by step.

One inch, one inch.

As the brute force faded, the water leaper pushed the crayfish to the edge of the circled area.

Head forward, upper limbs slightly bent, lower limbs tightened——

After a short period of charging, the sacrificial collision is activated!
The iron-clawed lobster, which once again used brute force, was unable to resist the indomitable momentum and flew straight out of the field, leaving a long ravine in the sand before stopping its retreat.

Victory and defeat.

Although he had already envisioned the arrival of this moment, what exceeded Yongren's expectations was that Shui Yueyu's victory came too early and too easily.In the initial idea, with the advantages of energy accumulation and combat experience, the iron claw lobster should be able to suppress the water jumper steadily before the water jumper evolved into the bog jumper. However, in the past few months, the water jumper has steadily stabilized step by step. But progress has not slowed down at all.Every month, every week, and even every day, there is steady progress and harvest. The obstacles and bottlenecks in the eyes of him and Iron-clawed Lobster do not seem to exist at all for Shuiyueyu. Its body is like a treasure mountain.

Iron-clawed lobster also quickly got up and walked over, raising a giant claw to greet the water leaping fish, and signaled something to his trainer Yong Ren.

"You mean, Shui Yue Yu looks particularly energetic today? Indeed, he looks relatively relaxed and relaxed."

At this time, Lai and Long-winged Gull, who were late for a while, also arrived.

"Lai, why are you late today? You missed a very rare moment. The water leaping fish defeated the iron claw lobster in wrestling. It's really amazing!" Yongren picked up the water leaping fish from the ground and smiled. Said to Rai.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Yongren. There was a little trouble on the way, so Shui Yue Yu came over first. It's really thanks to the care and guidance of you and Iron Claw Lobster that Shui Yue Yu can make such rapid progress. I'll have to ask you more in the future. Just help!" Rai covered Tomohisa, took the water leaping fish, and expressed his gratitude to Yugi and the Iron Claw Lobster. At the same time, part of the information about the Iron Claw Lobster appeared in his eyes.

Iron-clawed lobster:

Sex: male

Height: 1.14m
Weight: XNUM X kg
Energy Level: 41
Feature: Hard Shell Armor
Skills: Slightly. Physical condition: Slight injury to the left pliers, others are abbreviated.

After seeing the situation, Rai took out the wound medicine from his backpack and sprayed it on the red head of the water jumping fish and the left claw of the iron claw lobster that left a trace, and then communicated with Yongren about the situation before he came.

Yongren pointed at the Iron-clawed Lobster and the Water-leap Fish and said, "You are always the most attentive child, but you often make me feel that you are too polite. I have grown up watching you and the Water-leap Fish, and they are also the Iron-clawed Fish." Lobster looks like you have grown up. Your father and I had a fatal friendship in our early years when we went out to sea to suppress bandits and fight disasters. I would rather see the child-like side of you."

"What Uncle Yongren said is that I have always been taken care of by you since I was a child, especially in the two years after Shui Yueyu came. It can be said that you and the Iron Claw Lobster took care of me hand in hand. I have always wanted to do something for you. I expressed my gratitude to the Claw Lobster, but now it seems that it is a bit self-defeating.”

Lai scratched his head gently, looked at the two Pokémon who didn't know what to say, and smiled, "I just came here, and I heard you said that the water jumper actually surpassed the iron claw lobster in strength. I even had a little I can’t believe it, could you please tell me the specific story?”

The brave man nodded, explained the previous wrestling in a few words, and added: "Today I see that Shui Yueyu's condition is unusually good, and he is exerting more force and daring to make moves." After that, he called Shui Yueyu. Re-demonstrated the final use of the charge of sacrificing one's life.

Seeing Shui Yueyu's demonstration, the joy in Lai's eyes faded slightly, and he put forward his own thoughts to Yong Ren: "The use of Sacrifice Bump this time is indeed more sophisticated, but from the perspective of exerting force, there seems to be a little problem. Some It relies too much on the strength of the lower limbs and head. In recent training, the load on the lower limbs of Shuiyueyu has always been higher than that of the upper limbs, and there have been some minor injuries from time to time. This makes me a little worried, and I have been thinking about how to optimize it. I hope Do you have any suggestions for finding the optimal solution?”

The brave man thought for a moment and asked instead: "The optimal solution, this is a good question. What do you think is the optimal solution?"

For Rai, this is a no-brainer: "Make full use of the energy in and in the body, let them act on the growth of Pokémon, and achieve high-level progress while consolidating the foundation."

After receiving this reply, Yongren thought for a long time before speaking: "Your idea is very good, and your work is also very good. The situation of Shui Yueyu will not lie to others. However, I have also been thinking about a question over the years, and that is to pursue Is the so-called 'best' really the 'optimal solution'?"

After pausing for a moment to wait for Lai to think, he added: "Whether it's a human or a Pokémon, time, energy, and resources are all limited. Just like my iron claw lobster, the right claw is more powerful than the left claw. , it’s not that we don’t know, it’s not that we don’t want to do better, but that the current situation is more ‘suitable’. In combat, the current ratio of right claws as the main force and left claws as the supplement is more suitable for the maneuverability and control of the iron claw lobster. This is one of the reasons why it can master the crab claw hammer so skillfully. So, if you ask me to give an answer, it is that there is no better, only more suitable."

Lai asked: "Isn't the best the most suitable?"

The brave man replied: "It is true, but you can't do it. Or you think you can do it, but you will face great difficulties in actual operation. You are pursuing the best, but unknowingly, you also give yourself and There is too much pressure on the water leaping fish. You see, everyone in the escort team training together has their own strengths and weaknesses, which is not necessarily a good thing. Accurately understanding one's own capabilities is also a kind of growth."

Looking at the water-jumping fish attacking the target with a water gun in the distance and the long-winged gull repeatedly diving and practicing its wing attack, and thinking of its fatigue after the last lap of training this morning, Lai's thoughts were a little confused. The simple "golden finger" may be ineffective in other aspects, but in terms of ability development and selection of training focus, it is indeed impeccable.

But reality has indeed proved the existence of the problem: the plan based on data is indeed objective, scientific and efficient, but is this the same as "suitable"?

Suitable, what is it?
