Chapter 352: Magikarp’s Fall

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Magikarp’s Fall

The afternoon challenger was a little stronger than Forrest.

But he was challenging for his seventh Badge, so Julian did not give him one.

When he left, that fellow wore the exact same smile as Forrest.

Towards these believers in the golden touch, Julian could only helplessly shake his head.

If they relied on the golden touch, they would probably only amount to that much in this life. They would have no chance of becoming truly strong Trainers.

Julian had no time to care about them.

With that spare time, he might as well measure another set of data for Magikarp and make Magikarp happy.

Stimulate Magikarp’s motivation to improve.

Julian came to the edge of the reservoir and called Magikarp over.

"I’m going to remove the ball now. We’ll test again how long it takes you to swim one lap around the reservoir."

Magikarp’s eyes instantly sharpened.

After being tortured by the ball for almost an entire day, Magikarp felt that he had already been reborn.

His limited brain capacity did not understand why the ball produced such great force after entering the water. He could only do everything he could to resist it.

After Julian removed the ball and called the start, he turned into a golden arrow and shot forward with a whoosh.

When Magikarp charged back again, Julian pressed the stopwatch.

"Not bad. Your speed is a full thirteen seconds faster than when we measured it this morning!"

Looking at Magikarp’s golden scales, Julian felt as if Magikarp had become thinner.

No way.

Had one day of training actually tired Magikarp into losing weight?

"Let’s eat something first."

Julian took out the Pokémon food specially prepared for Magikarp and personally fed it to him.

Magikarp stopped after only five mouthfuls.

"Why aren’t you eating?"

Magikarp waved his tail.

If he ate more, it would affect his training condition.

Julian smiled and nodded.

This kid Magikarp had completely immersed himself in the pleasure brought by training.

"Then drink a bottle of supplement, and we’ll test your surface swimming speed."

After drinking the supplement, Magikarp felt full of strength again.

He could now fight the ball for an entire day!

Julian barely managed to make Magikarp rest for three minutes before starting the speed test.

"Begin!"

Magikarp swung his tail, bursting out a huge white splash.

A white line trailed behind him as he rapidly drew a circle across the water’s surface.

Julian nodded in satisfaction.

"A full twenty seconds faster! It seems the resistance training with the ball has effectively taught you how to fight against drag while swimming."

"You’ve improved a lot. I’m very optimistic about your battle against Corphish in a week."

Magikarp’s eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly asked Julian to put the ball back on him.

Julian did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he quickly helped Magikarp put the equipment back on.

"Go continue training."

Seeing Magikarp’s performance, Kai, who was practising punches with Corphish, immediately shouted excitedly.

"Corphish, let us burn our youth!"

"Before dinner, one thousand punches! If we can’t do it, then another thousand frog jumps!"

Julian glared at Kai.

"Don’t look for excuses to secretly add more training for yourself!"

This kid was still trying to be sneaky. His training volume was already so high, yet he was still not satisfied.

Corphish swung his pincers, matching his cries as he struck the sandbag.

"Cor! Corphish!"

Left pincer.

Right pincer.

Hook, jab, uppercut!

Heavy blows sparked!

When Kai mentioned frog jumps, Julian suddenly thought of a suitable training method for Corphish.

"Kai, you can try having Corphish use his tail to launch himself."

Julian remembered that some lobsters could use the springing force generated by the strong muscles in their tails to give themselves a powerful impact force.

Corphish, with the three points on his head, was very suitable for using headbutt-style attacks.

After hearing Julian’s explanation, Kai nodded and said, "Corphish, tonight’s boxing training is temporarily changed to frog-jump training!"

Corphish waved his pincers.

"Corphish!"

He did not care about the change in training content.

As long as it made him stronger, that was fine.

While Julian and Kai were eating dinner, a courier arrived to deliver a package.

"Julian, there’s a package for you!"

Julian and Kai put down their bowls and chopsticks, then walked out of the Gym entrance.

The courier had driven a truck, and it was completely filled with ingredients for Blaziken’s new Pokémon food.

Kai’s eyes widened.

"So much!"

Julian sighed.

"It may look like a lot, but I don’t know whether this truckload of food will be enough for Blaziken to eat for a month."

Kai blinked.

"No way. Can Blaziken really eat that much?"

After high-intensity training, Kai, you need to have confidence in Blaziken’s appetite

They would work overtime tonight.

Tomorrow, Blaziken would be able to enjoy the new version.

If you’re truly his brother, come beat Blaziken up!

No, that was wrong.

Come help Blaziken grow!

Hearing that Blaziken’s ingredients had arrived, everyone hurried out to help move the boxes into the warehouse.

The courier’s eyes widened.

"Wow! Julian, you’re raising so many powerful Pokémon now!"

The tall and imposing Kommo-o still had some traces of Jangmo-o.

The courier sighed.

"Back then, you raised Jangmo-o for so many years, and everyone worried whether he might not be able to evolve."

"But now, in only a few months, he’s directly evolved into something this tall and powerful!" ℴ

After evolution, Kommo-o’s height had developed a little more along with his training.

At present, he had just broken past two metres.

Julian smiled and said, "That’s all thanks to Kommo-o’s own hard work. I only did my duty with the support work."

After moving the ingredients into the warehouse, the courier took out the delivery slip for Julian to sign.

Before getting back into the truck, the courier waved.

"Julian, the neighbours are all waiting for the good news that you’ve become a Fighting-type Elite Four member!"

Julian smiled and replied, "Tell everyone I’ll work hard!"

Blaziken was still standing in front of the warehouse, drooling as he looked at his ingredients.

Kommo-o and Annihilape came up on his left and right.

Come on. Inside with us

Blaziken cried out in horror.

"Blaziken!?"

Since the ingredients had arrived, it meant he could begin passionate special training.

Blaziken wanted to escape, but Kommo-o’s arm locked around him tightly.

He could not run.

He could only return to the back garden with them.

Julian watched them and shook his head.

Looks like he would be working overtime tonight.

Kai said, "Master, I’ll help too."

Julian waved his hand.

"You go train Corphish. Leave this small matter to me!"

Julian took out the ingredients and planned to first prepare Blaziken’s portion for tonight.

Gallade and Sirfetch’d came forward to help Julian process the ingredients.

Julian smiled and said, "According to the training plan, tonight is supposed to be the time for you two to train Blaziken. Aren’t you going to fight for it?"

Gallade and Sirfetch’d shook their heads.

Sparring with Blaziken was nice, but it was still not as good as training against each other.

Since Kommo-o and Annihilape were willing to accompany his growth, then let them go.

When the time came, Gallade and Sirfetch’d would be able to directly experience a Blaziken whose techniques had been trained through countless battles and who had survived a hundred fights.

Compared to the immature Blaziken now, that would definitely feel much better.

With Gallade and Sirfetch’d helping, Julian quickly produced the first batch of high-energy food.

After tasting it, Julian nodded in satisfaction.

"I can prepare some for Maylene too. She should like this flavour."
