Ditto doesn't move

While it cannot be ruled out that there are indeed some geniuses in this world, it's possible to achieve the same results as an average person who trains for one to two months with just a little practice...

I doubt even light novels would dare to use such a setting so easily!

After all, if one possesses such powerful talent, why can't one even grasp the most basic control of power?

So, besides talent, the only other explanation is...

characteristic!!!

The trait called Unyielding Spirit is influencing Riolu's training in an almost magical way!

If I had to put it in words, it would probably be "shame breeds courage."

So, is training a Pokémon like Riolu, who possesses an indomitable spirit, simply about humiliating her to motivate her to strive harder?

Wrong! Utterly wrong!

At this moment, the extraordinary wisdom delivered an extremely dangerous warning, indicating that Xia Ming must not allow Riolu to continue training, otherwise it would plant a fatal weakness that would trap him for the rest of his life!

"stop."

That's what Xia Ming, the Martial God, said at the time.

The puppy, engrossed in training, stopped waving its fists and looked at its trainer with a puzzled expression.

Did I do something wrong during practice?

"They're just like little children; if you're not careful, they can easily go astray, and then it takes who knows how long to get back on track..."

Xia Ming sighed.

Pokémon training is indeed much more complicated than I imagined.

"Have you noticed? Because of the delusion of getting fat overnight, they become obsessed with seemingly rapid progress..."

"Your fists are no longer disregarding your body's actual condition, and have begun to squeeze out power with the aim of causing damage, while your body's potential has only just been developed a little bit."

"Come on, try punching again in the same position."

Riolu tightened her little face and did as she was told. Immediately, the most direct feeling made her red pupils suddenly contract.

The feeling of punching... has weakened.

The information displayed showed that Riolu's life rotation horsepower also plummeted from its peak to its trough at this moment, dropping from 460 horsepower to 300 horsepower.

"Having adapted to rapid progress, people subconsciously damage their bodies to maintain the progress once the pace of progress slows down even slightly."

"If you refuse to be honest about the result of your slowed progress, you will have to pay at least twice the price to make up for the deficit."

"Remember this lesson you learned the hard way."

After Xia Ming finished speaking, he took out some medicine from the first aid kit and sprayed it on her while complaining.

Riolu then noticed that his arm had started to ache as a result.

This soreness is not the lactic acid buildup that should be present during normal training; rather, it's a tingling sensation, as if the entire arm has become stiff.

"The road! (Damn it!)"

The so-called "shame leads to courage" is based on correctly recognizing one's own mistakes.

If someone humiliates you for any reason, or if the trainer doesn't realize that the reason for "courage" is a misconception, then going the long way is secondary. Their personality will likely become extreme and stubborn, and in the end, they won't even be able to accept correct advice.

They will take it for granted that they are absolutely right and everyone else is an idiot.

This is the most common problem medical students encounter: misdiagnosis of cases.

........................

"What is this feeling?!?"

They were carried away without a word after being tucked under the arms of a bear dressed like an adorable mascot.

The true protagonists of the Pokémon world, the cheerful Team Rocket trio, were also out of sorts at this moment, and even their classic lines sounded like children begging for forgiveness after doing something wrong.

Meowth and Wobbuffet, carrying Mimikyu, quickly gave chase.

"What are they even here for...?" exclaimed Mao, a powerful girl in the world of witty remarks.

Just then, the tech-savvy chubby guy, Mamane, who had been out of sorts, seemed to be reminded by the battle between Pikachu and Mimikyu, and shouted:

"I know! I know the answer to the question!"

What do you know?

The overly curious children swarmed around, and Mamane, seemingly feeling quite accomplished at solving the puzzle, excitedly hugged her Togodemar.

"Now I understand why Mr. Xia Ming stopped Riolu from using Quick Attack and instead made her stick to using Metal Claw."

Ash, who had clearly told Professor Kukui that he wanted to find the answer himself, suddenly remembered and covered his ears with both hands.

"I don't want to hear it... I don't want to hear it!"

"Hmph, Ash, aren't you curious why?"

The chubby boy tempted people with a mysterious expression that piqued their curiosity.

Kachi, who had also been struggling with the same question for a long time without finding an answer, rushed up and grabbed his arm: "Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense."

"The answer is... speed. Although Quick Attack increases a Pokémon's speed, if both are used together with Quick Attack, Pikachu, being faster, still has the advantage."

Xiao Zhi, who had been covering his ears, quietly moved aside a small gap to listen to the chubby boy's smug summary.

"Secondly, Metal Claw. Although Electric-type Pokémon like Pikachu take less damage, Riolu's stats are not as strong as Pikachu's, so the actual goal is to maximize its attack power when using moves."

At this point, the chubby Mamane couldn't help but complain, "Resisting commands, failing to realize that he is weaker and make preparations, and not understanding the purpose of using the moves... No wonder Mr. Xia Ming admitted defeat so readily."

On the contrary, the hot-blooded young man Kachi shook his head and waved his hand, saying:

"No, no, no, I think the biggest problem is that Riolu could have launched a full-scale attack, but it gave up the initiative twice. It also lacked perseverance. It was already determined to withstand Pikachu's Thunderbolt, so why didn't it continue attacking?"

"I get it!" Ash clapped his hands, praising his groundbreaking theory. "In the end, it's still Riolu who doesn't believe Mr. Xia Ming! There's no connection between them!"

Boys always have an endless interest in fighting.

Surprisingly, even Lillie, who had always resisted interacting with Pokémon, understood and enthusiastically participated in the discussion. (Lillie also has a competitive streak, but because of her Vulpix, she plays a snow team.)

So here's the question: there was only one person present who didn't understand anything at all. Who was that person?

Mao: Should I not be here?

P.S.: Mallow's ending is arguably the least satisfying in the Sun & Moon versions.

Saying goodbye to his mother, his childhood friends scattered, leaving him alone in his hometown.

The problem lies in being simplistic and not having found what they want to do or what goals they want to strive for.

As a result, she was left alone in her empty nest.

Oh, old man! Oh, old man!

Book 1: Happy Little Ditto: Chapter 27 When Will the World Be Number One?

"Hey, seriously? You really want to ride it?"

"Road! (Stop nagging! It's not like I can't accept defeat!)"

"But this isn't a baby stroller!"

After realizing his mistake, the proud puppy stubbornly chose to keep his promise: if he lost, he would ride his bike to take Xia Minglang with him.

But clearly, there are some things in this world that can be done in a state of extreme anger, such as solving math problems, but there are some things that are simply impossible to do no matter what...

For example, height.

The Leo, which is only 0.7 meters tall, can't even reach the handlebars or the pedals when sitting on the seat, let alone take Xia Ming for a ride.

As a result, in order to fulfill the agreement of punishment, they decided not to hitch a ride but to get off the bus and run alongside.

While an indomitable spirit has obvious advantages, it also has obvious disadvantages.

In fact, long-distance running is not tiring for Riolu. According to the Pokédex, Riolu is born with very strong energy and vitality. It is said that it can cross 3 mountains and 2 canyons in one night.

Although most Pokédex entries are just for fun, even though I, Alakazam, have an IQ of 5000, I've never seen it form a Pokémon League or go to StarCraft.

For a moment, Riolu, who was doing extra running training next to the bicycle, looked at Xia Ming and couldn't help but feel a longing for evolution.

Although the evolved Lucario is only 1.2 meters tall on average, barely reaching the height of a Bite, it can still ride a bicycle without any problem.

Speaking of which, evolution requires that, right?

It's that kind of thing, that kind of thing, that can only be achieved under the dual stimulation of extremely close emotions and genetic power, right? It seems there are even more powerful evolutionary methods, but the requirements are also higher, requiring a unified mind and body.

Born in the Kalos region and having spent a long time at Dr. Blatano's lab, which specializes in Mega Evolution, Riolu has some knowledge of the legendary evolution method.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't dislike it...

"Hey, why did you kick my tire?"

Xia Ming watched as Riolu slowed down as it ran, then caught up to him, and then for some reason sped up again, kicking his rear wheel.

Fortunately, Riolu didn't exert its full power, otherwise my beloved comrade would have been seriously injured.

He's still just a kid; his unhappiness is written all over his face.

As they were talking, a pink meteor swept across from the left to the right in their peripheral vision, followed by a thick cloud of dust that looked like a large trailer truck rushing in front of them.

"Pah! What strange thing?"

Caught off guard, Xia Ming spat twice after getting a mouthful of dust. He stopped his bicycle, turned around, and saw a pink figure shrinking in the distance.

Even just looking at his back, he seemed as heavy as the suit a park worker would wear.

"Wearing ~ (Child, child, where are you?)"

Holy crap, it's the Bear God!

Bebop is said to be the most dangerous Pokémon in Alola, with enough power to challenge legendary Pokémon without being defeated!

The fake island god only knows how to watch the show when facing the Ultra Beasts, and almost becomes a stepping stone when it takes action.

The true island god, Garp Bear, is equally at home in the living room and the kitchen. His mother's basic attacks can be both powerful and critical, he can knock out a Pheromosa with a single punch, and he has won all three battles against the alien beasts.

He is the strongest of the strong! The hero among heroes!

So, when Miss Kimisa contacted us earlier, she said Team Rocket had also arrived on the island?

In other words, Tapu Koko, the island god of Melemele Island, is now like a pervert, constantly stalking and spying on Ash.

Divine gold.

If you want to battle, go to the Masters tournament. Staying in Alola as a little island god is shameful.

The electric field has no great generals, so the sea urchin with its crackling sound can show off its power.

"The road? (She seemed very anxious)"

Riolu, who possesses the power of waveguide but has never learned how to develop it, rarely put his power into action. He not only sensed the other party's feelings but also fully perceived that absurd power.

That's amazing! That Pokémon is incredibly strong!

The speed was so fast that he couldn't even react, propelled entirely by pure physical strength, his fighting spirit surging like the ocean...

Just one glance at it is enough to scare away ordinary Pokémon so much that they dare not approach.

"Going any further will only lead to getting dusty and unpleasant. Let's take a break. Want some water?" Xia Ming asked.

"There's no other way."

The little blue dog stopped and, as if it were a matter of course, took a beverage bottle from the storage bag on the back rack of the car, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Xia Ming.

This successfully made Xia Ming, who considered himself crazy, fall into a minute of deep thought.

No, I was asking if you wanted some water. How did it turn into you opening the bottle cap for me?

“Ling’s dream begins, the path opens. (What’s wrong?)”

"fine."

The beverage bottle didn't contain ordinary water, but rather Delicious Water (a soft drink from the Pokémon world that can restore health). It seems the trainee really listened to him and did a pretty good job with her preparations.

"Lu (Are you really that strong?)"

Suddenly, Riolu made that sound.

Because it had always been a question-and-answer dialogue, and he had never heard Riolu speak to him on its own initiative, Xia Ming was taken aback.
