Ditto doesn't move

Riolu sheds tears!

Overwhelmed by a torrent of complex emotions, Riolu, known as a champion of justice, collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Branch Manager Kimi, overwhelmed by the opening remarks that felt like a bomb exploding in her mind, opened her mouth but couldn't say a word. She then looked at her childhood friend, Gyrocopter.

The latter simply stuck out his tongue and licked her face gently, as if to comfort her.

It's alright, I will absolutely trust any instructions you give!

An overwhelming sense of guilt instantly overwhelmed the female police officers, who would never flinch or shed a tear even when facing an evil organization, except for one person...

"Don't look down on me! Do you think it's because I don't want to protect Growlithe?! Do you think it's because I don't want to pass the test easily?!"

Jun Sha, still an intern clerk, angrily stepped out of the group (8) and wept:

"I want to! I want to become stronger! I want to become a full-fledged police officer! But I'm just so stupid, so useless, and even my Growlithe suffers because of me...!"

She couldn't continue speaking halfway through her sentence, so she squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and crying loudly.

"If no one taught you before, now you'd better memorize every single word."

Xia Ming, the Martial God, coldly said, showing no mercy:

"Battle! When you pull out your Poké Ball, that's a battle! When your Pokémon stands in front of you, that's a battle!"

"When your opponent stands in front of you, you should know what you need to do and what you should do."

"Do I want to vent my anger, or do I want to protect innocent civilians? Do I want to render him immobile, or do I want to render him unconscious?"

"What are my weaknesses? What are his weaknesses? What methods do I have available? What methods does he have available?"

"What effect can my methods have, and what effect can his methods have; what should I prepare beforehand, and what should I do afterward..."

"Do I need to say more? Did you think like this while you were fighting?"

"You say you want to become stronger, but were you really prepared for the exam?"

"Children who don't know any better can rely on adults, and adults can rely on the police, but as a police officer, who can you rely on? A superstar? A champion?"

"Save your breath. There are only five people in the area; they can't save you."

"Since you chose this job, you should understand one thing: you're already on the front lines, and you can't rely on anyone else."

The training ground was deathly silent.

Even Riolu and Kimisa, who were crying, stopped crying, stunned by the knowledge they had never imagined.

Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice spoke:

"I originally wanted to see who the rumored champion was, but I didn't expect to hear O's training tips from the champion. This trip was definitely worth it."

A shirtless man, with iron spiked shackles on his wrists and ankles, exuding the aura of a fighter, slowly walked into the police headquarters' private training ground, yet no one dared to stop him.

It's...it's Shiba, the fighting king of Kanto!

Without needing to say more, the trainer understood his thoughts the moment their eyes met, seeing the burning spirit in the other's eyes.

War!!! (Close-up shot with unclear meaning)

Clearly, those words, which deeply grasped the essence of combat, had already caused the fighting spirit in this powerful man's heart to swell terrifyingly.

After all, the way Fighting King Shiba caught Pokémon was by engaging in fierce battles with them as a human, and demonstrating his superiority with a complete victory.

“I am stronger than you, so you can trust me.”

Xia Ming didn't respond to Shiba, who was so aroused that he even got an erection. He just pointed to the only Poké Ball at his waist.

Tsk.

Shiba smirked unhappily, then turned and walked away without a second thought.

He knew that a martial god who had such a profound understanding of the word "fight" would never remain unknown. Since the other party intended to lie low, he would wait and wait for the day they could clash.

For a martial artist, is there any more anticipated and wonderful encounter?

Xia Ming withdrew his gaze and was not surprised to see that everyone in the room was looking at him.

Although I enjoy being crazy, Gardevoir, and anime, I am second to none when it comes to understanding the meaning of "struggle".

After all, I am that person's successor!

"Let's leave the trainers' questions aside for now and talk about the Pokémon," he said loudly.

Book 1: The Happy Little Monster - Chapter 20: There's No Going Back

"You, tell me what the shortcomings of your Growlithe are."

Following the direction Xia Ming pointed, the trainee Jun Sha, who had already stood up, pointed at herself with an incredulous expression: "Me?"

"Yes, it's you. I've just taught you what a trainer should do. Now, consider this a pop quiz. Tell me what you know about Growlithe."

"I don't think you wouldn't know your partner's strengths and weaknesses, would you?"

Like a young policewoman called upon by her superior, she instinctively stood at attention and saluted:

"Yes! Instructor!"

“My child is very brave, but he’s also a bit reckless and impulsive. To be precise, he’s a bit of a scatterbrain. His biggest problem right now is that he’s not good at controlling the flames. Although the sparks he spews out are very hot, it’s hard for him to hit the target.”

"I'm currently learning the move Flame Vortex, hoping to hone my control over fire. I've mastered the Bite move quite well, and its power is comparable to my cousin's—no, the branch manager's—Arcanine. I'm using a Super Chewy Stick to develop my strengths."

"The speed is only average, and occasionally I get excited and overshoot the mark."

"Based on the situation of Growlithe, I have decided not to rush to use the Fire Stone to evolve it, in order to avoid completely losing control of fire after evolution."

Xia Ming nodded, clapped his hands lightly, and addressed the other Jun Sha:

"While you are listening, you should also summarize your own partners' strengths and weaknesses."

“A champion once told me that trainers are like boxing coaches. First, you have to understand your partner’s situation, and then judge whether to completely give up the weaknesses and play to the strengths, or to take advantage of the weaknesses and try to alleviate them.”

Then, as if remembering something, Xia Ming reminded his Riolu:

"Next, you need to watch out. As long as you participate in the battle, you will inevitably encounter enemies that use elemental attacks."

"Flame, torrents, lightning, vines, ice."

"Observe these attacks carefully and think carefully about how to deal with them if they hit you."

The blue Anubis puppy finally nodded, no longer resisting.

"Have your Growlithe use Flame at maximum and minimum power respectively."

Xia Ming continued speaking to the trainee policewoman, who immediately stood up, took her Growlithe to the usual training area, and carefully instructed her to use the move twice.

A fireball half the height of a person and a flame the size of a palm flew out respectively.

However, as trainee Kimi-sa said, her Growlithe had very poor control over fire, and both of her moves missed the target by a great distance.

Xia Ming originally had no feeling about the so-called "attribute energy," since there is no such thing as energy in the modern human body.

Fortunately, I personally experienced Ditto's transformation power and the fighting spirit of its Strength form, so I gained some understanding of elemental energy.

"I think I know where the problem with Growlithe lies."

Xia Ming thought for a moment and said:

"Your Junsa family must have a special method to enhance Growlithe's fire energy, right? But because you spoil it too much, the energy in its body has exceeded its control."

"Impulsive behavior usually stems from having too much pent-up energy that I want to release unconsciously."

"Huh? Instructor, how about more exercise?"

"Attribute energy isn't like fat; if you accumulate too much and can't control it, it'll... bang!"

Xia Ming made an explosion gesture, then shrugged.

Even though she knew the other person was just trying to scare her, trainee Junsha still felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly met the innocent gaze of the Growlithe and started making a weight loss plan in her mind.

The remaining people didn't have such a bizarre problem; their biggest issue was their low skill level, meaning they used moves and elemental energy in a very crude way.

It was so rough that Xia Ming, who had been exposed to all sorts of anime and novels, frowned upon seeing it.

Aside from the family secrets that cannot be revealed, the Junshas' method of training their moves and attribute energy is very simple: use it.

Using your most powerful moves hundreds or thousands of times a day will naturally increase your proficiency.

It's the same as not understanding addition, subtraction, and multiplication and trying to memorize the answers to calculation problems within three digits by rote.

However, taking fire-attribute moves as an example, the logic of progressing from low to high power is actually quite simple:

Spark... Launches a burst of fire-attribute energy.

Flame Fang... This technique involves attaching fire-attribute energy to the teeth and injecting it directly into the enemy's body.

Flame jet... continuously spewing fire-attribute energy

Flame Charge... Charge into the enemy while engulfed in flames.

Burn it all... A single burst of all fire-attribute energy from the body.

Did you understand the pattern?

The first main point is to spray powerfully and continuously, the more you spray, the stronger the power.

The second one is enchanting. Enchanting your hands gives you Flame Fist, enchanting your teeth gives you Flame Fang, and enchanting your entire body gives you a powerful 120-power Charge attack...

Seriously! Even my grandma could learn it by rote memorization!

Or is Logia-type abilities just that simple and straightforward?

That's not right either. Naruto can create a Rasengan! Ash can create a counter-punch shield!

Even the most clueless internet user could probably come up with some kind of training method involving compressed energy. While it might not be successful, at least it's a possible idea.

So, are those legendary Pokémon so powerful because they're doing something really weird... Pokémon cultivation?

Damn, the art style is so weird!

If you really do this, I can't even imagine what kind of chaotic mess the Eastern Huang region will become.

No wonder gym leaders with even a hint of scientist tend to be exceptionally strong; for example, the chubby Mamane has champion potential (once you become the Alola Champion, only Mamane will challenge you).

Is this what they mean by "You have the secret methods of cultivating immortality, I have the divine power of science"?

Seeing the eager looks on Junsha's eyes after hearing his logical explanation of elemental energy and fire-attribute techniques, Xia Ming didn't bother to share his own conjectures. Instead, he presented a training method he had devised himself:

Light and Heavy

【Light】 refers to maintaining a spark for one hour as a goal, gradually increasing the output energy or extending the maintenance time as you become more skilled.

【Heavy】 refers to using the Spark move as the training scope to maximize instantaneous output. Once the move is transformed into an advanced move, such as Flame Jet or Burnout, it is considered a failure.

Afterwards, we interviewed Junsha, one of the instructors.

Trainee police officer, Junsa (female), 20 years old, described the situation at the time as follows.

"You know what? When I heard the instructors analyze the training methods and the application of elemental techniques, I suddenly had a feeling..."

"What does it feel like?"

"On the path of becoming a trainer, we're practically like little babies still crawling on instinct!"

"So do you think the training camp was effective?"

"It has already taken on the shape of an instructor."

"Eh?"

"His cold, scolding manner is so cool! I don't mind being scolded any more!"

"No, Miss Officer Jenny..."

"Hehe...Lord Xia Ming! We love you!"

Book 1: The Happy Little Metamorphosis: Chapter 21 The Village Finally Has Internet Access!

"Thank you so much for your hard work, senior!"

Branch head Junsha said with deep respect.

If at the beginning, she only respected the person in front of her because of that battle.

Now, having personally experienced the guidance and training, this respect has completely transformed into admiration for those who have achieved success, to the point that I subconsciously address people younger than myself as "senior."
