Chapter 5: Gym
The night is misty, and the bright light of the moon lightly covers the ground, with cars occasionally passing by the quiet street.
"Well, there's a lot to do next." Bruce sat at the desk and began making arrangements for the vacation.
"The first step is to continue directing the memory of the original owner in the brain and make all the knowledge available to him as much as possible."
Bruce himself only has a little knowledge about Pokémon and can discover their attributes and abilities, etc., but this is just the most basic requirement to become an excellent Trainer.
What he has to do is completely transform the knowledge learned by the original owner into his own, so he can use it as he wishes.
Now that he has arrived in this Pokémon world that countless people have dreamed of, he tries to climb to the top and see different landscapes.
And learning is the fundamental driving force of progress.
The vacation for graduating from high school was very long, a complete month and a half, enough for Bruce to digest all the memories of the original owner.
"The second point is to gradually change your personality in front of your father and mother."
Fortunately, the original owner was only a little introverted, and there were no issues with normal communication, so the situation wasn't serious.
"The third point is to promote the psychic."
After seeing the abnormality of Psychic, Bruce felt a lot of curiosity and thought it could be his main card.
The third point can be related to the second, and since his personality has changed, it also makes sense to ask William about the method of psychic training.
After all, the original owner was interested in Psychic training before, which allowed him to improve with age.
"The fourth point is the next breeding and training plan for the child," Bruce murmured to himself, looking at Torchic, who was deeply asleep in his arms.
Perhaps because he was full of food and drink, the ever-vigilant Torchic soon fell asleep. A state of competition.
Bruce squinted his eyes, carefully recalling the detailed information about Torchic in the memory of the original owner.
"He not only has the aptitude of a champion, but his ability is also unique [Speed Boost]. He really is a little guy blessed by the heavens," Bruce sighed softly.
The final form of Torchic, Blaziken, is powerful and attractive, loved by many Trainers.
But even though it has high double attack stats, its speed isn't fast, so it's not a favorite in battles.
However, when Blaziken has the ability [Speed Boost], it can make up for its own speed disadvantage. With [Swords Dance], it has the potential to carry the team on its own. It can be said that as long as the breeder is right, this Torchic has a bright future, and winning the championship is not a dream.
"Torchic is a pure Fire type, and after evolving into Combusken, it will gain the Fighting type, and Fighting abilities will also be its main means of production."
Bruce continued to sing while scribbling and changing things on the paper. "According to what the original owner's mother used to say, physical fitness is the foundation of a Pokémon, and only with excellent physical fitness can they withstand later development."
Physical fitness is very important for Pokémon, as their strength, speed, power, defense, evasion, recovery, etc., are all affected by physical fitness.
"Therefore, the important thing is to prioritize physical fitness, followed by learning skills and improving mastery of them."
"There's one last point: if the research system has other functions."
"Let's leave it at that for now." Bruce tossed his pen aside and stretched. As for the rest, like training fields, training facilities, energy cubes, move learning machines, etc., he doesn't need to worry about them.
As the main psychic family in Avalon, they have all these things.
Even if Bruce took the initiative to request a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, his parents would find a way to get one.
"I just don't know what super powerful Pokémon the original owner's grandfather prepared for him..."
Bruce lay on his back in bed, thinking silently.
The Pokémon prepared by the elite must be very valuable.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, William packed his things and said, "I'm going to the gym."
At that moment, Bruce wiped his mouth, stood up, and said, "I'll go too." In response to their inquisitive looks, Bruce calmly explained, "There's no training field at home."
"Okay!" William smiled, a glimmer of relief in his eyes, and nodded.
For eighteen years, Bruce only went to his gym when he was very young, and as he grew up, he stayed at home reading books all day. Unexpectedly, now Bruce took the initiative to request going to the gym, showing that he has become less resistant to becoming a Trainer.
This is a good thing. The two left the house, quietly the whole way, while William hummed a little tune as he drove and arrived at the entrance of the gym half an hour later.
Bruce stood at the door, looking at the round silver building in front of him. "Let's go in," said William.
Bruce followed William into the gym and encountered many people who greeted him along the way, all of whom cast curious looks at Bruce.
Soon after, the two passed through a room and looked out the window. There were quite a few people sitting inside, some were sitting upright with their eyes closed, some were staring at the spoon in their hands, and some were looking at each other with Bronzor.
Feeling Bruce's gaze, William gently explained, "They are all apprentices in the gym."
"They come to learn Psychic." Bruce nodded and casually asked, "Can I learn Psychic the day after tomorrow?" William looked at Bruce in surprise and immediately responded quietly, "Yes." "But it's very difficult, and most psychics are acquired."
As they spoke, the two arrived at an empty training field, Ground. "Here you can train Torchic. If you need anything, press the button here. There are energy cubes and healing sprays," said William.
"Sounds good." Bruce looked around and nodded when he saw the complete training facilities.
"Then I'll leave first," said William. "Okay." As William's figure gradually disappeared, Bruce took the Poké Ball from his waist and pressed the button.
A white light blossomed, and Torchic appeared in the training field, looking around curiously.
Bruce clapped and said with a smile, "Alright, our goal today is to exercise our physical fitness."
"Chirp!" Torchic held its head high, eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Alright, let's get started!" ... At noon, William arrived at the training field with lunch, and when he saw Bruce running with Torchic, he nodded indistinctly.
"Take a break and eat first."
"Okay." Bruce looked at the time, stopped with Torchic, and began to rest. During the meal, Bruce suddenly raised his head and asked loudly, "Is there any Rookie-level Pokémon here?"
"I want to understand Torchic's strength more deeply."
In fact, Bruce wants to know if the system has other functions during battle. William was surprised for a moment, then rubbed his chin and replied, "Yes, a rookie Trainer came to the gym yesterday, and their Pokémon is at the Rookie level."
A rookie Trainer from yesterday? Hearing this, the figure of a child suddenly appeared in Bruce's mind.
