Chapter 7: Exp points
After William left, Bruce couldn't wait to call up the data panel for Torchic.
[Pokémon: Torchic (Fire)
Ability: Blaze
Rating: Champion
Moves: Scratch, Growl, Ember, Baton Pass, Agility, Quick Attack, Flame Charge
Level: lv 7 (25/70)]
Bruce thought for a moment and discovered another function of the system: gaining experience points through Pokémon battles.
Once you earn enough experience points, you can advance to the next level.
"This way, maybe the boundary barrier will no longer exist."
As long as the experience points are sufficient, you can continue improving your level and won't need to be trapped by the kingdom's barriers like other Pokémon.
"If this is the case, then the effect of this function will be amazing." Bruce clicked his tongue lightly.
"Secondly, the reminder now is to gain ten experience points; why are there twenty-five points here?" Bruce squinted, imagining white doves fluttering in his mind.
After a long while, Bruce looked at Torchic, who was eating to replenish its strength, and a flash of light shone in his mind. He guessed quietly, "Could it be because of this morning's training?"
"That's not impossible."
With this assumption in mind, after Torchic finished eating and took a short break, Bruce seized the opportunity to start training again.
Half an hour later, Bruce took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Torchic, who was only panting lightly, and sighed: "Indeed, there is a huge gap between human and Pokémon physiques."
Of course, it was also because the original owner rarely exercised during the week and was a bit weak.
Immediately, Bruce asked Torchic to rest in place, and after feeding it a high-level energy cube, he called up the data panel.
This time, the twenty-five points in the experience column became twenty-seven.
"Indeed!"
Bruce felt rejuvenated and realized that his guess was correct.
"Not only can Pokémon battles earn experience points, but training can also earn experience points, which is quite reasonable," Bruce thought to himself.
In this way, Pokémon battles and training can be conducted simultaneously.
"It's just that Torchic is currently in the base stage, and the focus is still on strengthening its physique and improving its skills."
Once the physique and skill proficiency are improved, Torchic's combat power will increase accordingly, which is more conducive to winning Pokémon battles.
In summary, it's about mutual promotion and mutual achievement.
"Alright, let's continue."
Seeing that Torchic had finished the energy cube and had rested a bit, Bruce spoke again.
"Chirp!"
Torchic nodded heavily, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Bruce smiled and began to run around the training field with Torchic.
His physique also needed exercise, and training together could increase the intimacy with Torchic, killing two birds with one stone.
Bruce was thinking about the plan to raise Torchic while running.
But after considering it, it seemed unnecessary to specifically formulate a breeding plan.
Torchic's aptitude is quite good; as long as it is given enough energy cubes and supplemented with nutrition, it is the best breeder.
Coincidentally, Bruce's family had no shortage of energy cubes.
Time passed, and soon it was dusk.
The setting sun looked like blood, and the sunset was at the end of the horizon.
"How do you feel today?"
Sitting in William's car, William's question echoed in Bruce's ears.
Bruce nodded and replied, "Not bad."
William chuckled, glanced at Bruce behind him in the rearview mirror, and said, "I'll reserve this training field for you; you can come every day."
"Okay." Bruce nodded.
There were no words the whole way,
When the door opened, a delicious aroma filled the nostrils.
William looked at Emma, who was coming out of the kitchen, and they exchanged smiles.
After eating, Bruce maintained the original owner's living habits and went straight to the bedroom.
William was washing the dishes Emma used in the kitchen, and the two were discussing in low voices.
"Did Bruce stay in the gym all day today?" Although Emma had heard the news a long time ago, she still couldn't believe it.
"Yeah." William nodded repeatedly and sighed softly: "I didn't expect him to stay in the training field all day."
Immediately after, William told Emma a complete account of what happened today.
"So that's how it is..." Emma nodded thoughtfully and then said, "There have been too many things like this."
She paused, as if recalling something, and said again: "Pokémon can change a person's character."
"Some people are initially introverted, but after being accompanied by Pokémon, they gradually become cheerful and lively."
William nodded and said: "I see he really likes Torchic."
"And he enjoyed the battle process a lot. It's impossible to fake that kind of concentration."
Just as Pokémon change personality, the tension, excitement, and passion generated by Pokémon battles can also change people.
There are many trainers enjoying the thrill of battle, the adrenaline rising and winning amidst cheers and applause.
Emma smiled and said: "It seems my father-in-law's wish is about to come true."
William nodded slightly and said: "It's better not to pressure the kid too much."
"By the way, why did he come back from the father-in-law's?" Emma hummed lightly and then asked.
William replied: "I'll be back in a week at most."
"I don't know what Pokémon the father-in-law chose for Bruce, but it must have taken a lot of effort." Emma was a bit puzzled.
William scratched his head and said: "I don't know very well; I'll find out when the old man returns."
In the bedroom,
The lights shone brightly, and Torchic was sleeping deeply in the nest prepared by Bruce. It was very tired from a whole day of training.
But the entire day of training was worth it, and Torchic was only twenty experience points away from leveling up to level eight.
Torchic is afraid of the dark night, so Bruce would not turn off the lights in the rest at night.
Bruce lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling above him, and in the next moment, his eyes shone blue, and his whole body was enveloped by a faint blue light.
After a while, his body practically floated from nowhere, half a meter above the bed.
This state of competition lasted a full half minute until Bruce's forehead dripped with sweat, he focused his gaze, and used Confusion to float back onto the bed.
"I always feel like the painting style is increasingly biased towards the fantasy world..." Bruce secretly complained while also being surprised by his own Psychic abilities.
"The character transformation process can be properly accelerated, and then learn about William's psychic training methods."
Although today he saw apprentices training psychically in the gym, they had different methods and hardly any real psychics.
Well, Bruce decided to wait for William to train him in person.
