Chapter 12 The Five Meters That Give Pokémon a Sense of Safety“Turn in circles.”
Li Xiang extend the hand around Litten's head.
“Meow”
Litten let out a low cry, and obeyed obediently. After turning around, he crouched in front of Li Xiang and looked at him with burning eyes.
"Nice job!"
Li Xiang smiled and scratched Litten's chin, handing over the long-prepared Pokémon food in his other hand.
Pokémon often require verbal encouragement and practical rewards, which are somewhat similar to, but not the same as, training cats and dogs in previous lives.
Because Pokémon can really understand what you're talking about when they grow up.
However, cats and dogs in previous lives can generally only understand your tone, not your sentences. If you speak softly and dryly, they think you are expressing love.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
In addition, after the Pokémon's emotional system is enriched, the desire will also increase.
It may have been all about food and a safe place.
After waiting, there may be more requirements. The so-called material needs are met, and then spiritual needs are met, and spiritual needs are met, and self-realization needs are required.
The classic Maslow theory.
Li Xiang, after a simple test, found that Litten really only had a superficial understanding of his words.
According to the manual given to him by the breeding base, Litten is currently unable to understand the commands in too much detail. The specific commands are written on it.
And, some commands need to cooperate with actions.
For example, "use Ember quickly!" and "use Ember after dodging to the left!" Although they have two meanings, Litten is very likely to mistake the latter and the former as High Level.
So you can use [Ember] directly.
Instructions take a long time to practice, and you won't be in a hurry.
But if you have a Pokémon at home who can only be familiar with these kinds of commands, the process can be greatly reduced.
—Purugly.
Li Xiang's eyes are slightly bright, is there a better Teacher than this big fat cat with a hard mouth and a soft heart?
Meowstic closed his mouth on cultivation all day long, obviously not suitable for teaching juniors.
Comfey has only plant lovers in his eyes and can't get along with the cats.
"While it's still early, let's go downstairs to train?"
Li Xiang shook the lollipop in his hand, and Litten's eyes slowly followed the lollipop. Move slowly.
Reason tells it not to pounce, and the Trainer doesn't give an order.
But the Fragrance of catnip scattered in the air has successfully aroused the anger in Litten's heart.
“——!!!”
Litten turned his head sharply, not letting himself look at it, as if he could just ignore it.
When Li Xiang saw this, he couldn't help but happily said: "Young man willpower! I thought you couldn't help it."
When a creature is too thirsty for something When the thing is, then the thing becomes its weakness.
Litten didn't comply with his physical desires, but resisted it when he could respond to catnip.
The superiority of its innate talent is evident.
Thinking of this, Li Xiang put the lollipop away in his pocket.
"Come on, let's go downstairs."
He waved to Litten and went downstairs.
"Meow..."
Litten sniffed the smell of catnip in the air and followed.
…
Downstairs.
Li Xiang wakes up Purugly and asks it to help.
Boss Purugly was not happy, but still climbed down from the sofa dented by it and followed Litten.
“Meow”
Litten greeted Purugly with a smile, and after the incident in the morning, he was no longer afraid of the fat cat who was not sure how many times his size.
Pokémon has always been extremely sensitive to the well-meaning Malice.
Like it, it's a well-known figure in it.
With his cold-hearted and warm-hearted personality, Litten is completely acceptable even though it was his first contact.
Purugly was silent, rather coldly nodded, with an expression that he knew.
When it comes to duplicity, this guy always does his best.
In the backyard.
Ignore the Overgrow bushes that surround the fence, and the huge Berry Tree that is close to the fence.
Li Xiang's eyes were greeted by a standard small venue with a size of ten by six, divided by white lines.
There are a lot of Ring Targets and equipment on the field, and there are rollers below to assist the movement, and a small child can easily push it around.
This is built by Li Zhehan, and is usually used to train Pokémon such as Feraligatr.
Father Li, like most boys, likes Pokémon battles very much, and he often takes Li Xiang to the public areas of the nearby park.
Either by yourself, or stand on the side and watch.
When she won, even if Ms. Yin scolds him, she is happy and not angry at all. But if he loses, he will smoke silently, his face is full of melancholy, and he needs the comfort of Ms. Yin.
Li Xiang wants to become a professional Trainer, and he has always been the one who approves with both hands and feet.
Ms. Yin's ideological work is also done by him.
In those days, Li Zhehan gave up the idea of going to a professional Trainer Academy for his family, Ms. Yin, and Li Xiang in Ms. Yin's belly.
Instead, he went to run a boat and became a seaman, so that Yin Tao could continue to study and Li Xiang's milk powder money.
So far, he is still just an ordinary level Trainer, and he has not even played a few games in the league rankings.
Li Xiang can be said to have entrusted his long-cherished wish to become a powerful Trainer and study at a higher academy.
……
"It's so hot..."
Qingcheng is very hot in summer, there is no central air conditioner working tirelessly outside, it looks like a big steamer , gave Li Xiang a head-to-toe outdoor sauna.
He stayed for less than a minute before sweat soaked his back, and the beads of sweat on his forehead slowly dripped down his cheeks.
Purugly and Litten didn't change their expressions. One of them was physique and the other was not afraid of heat. They even wished the sun would be stronger. When they were directly irradiated by the sun, they also showed a look of enjoyment.
Most Pokémon of Fire Type have a soft spot for the sun, and hot climates are also suitable for them to survive.
Even, the summer sun has the effect of enhancing the formidable power of Fire Type moves.
Yes, you heard that right.
Summer: A realistic version of Sunny Day with weather bonuses!
This setting may never be mentioned in the game, but in reality, environmental factors do have a big impact on some Pokémon.
Pokémon's battle strength will fluctuate accordingly.
In the so-called winter, you are very weak. Xia Xia hits hard and is invincible.
This may be an exaggeration, but it's true that the environment affects Pokémon battle strength.
With the exception of the Divine Beast, no Pokémon can adapt to all environments.
Purugly ran under the Berry Tree and took a nap on his stomach, planning to ask Li Xiang to call him over.
Litten ran to Li Xiang's feet.
“Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less during competition!”
Li Xiang muttered, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and resisted the desire to escape back to the air-conditioned room.
Hot and dry weather can lead to moodiness, reduced concentration, and the risk of heat stroke.
But the trainer who can't endure hardship often doesn't go far.
Besides having talent, it also requires a lot of experience and experience. The energy level is not something that will rise by itself.
Li Xiang knows this very well.
After getting Litten, his physical fitness must also begin.
There are still two months before the start of the basic Trainer Academy, I hope I can exercise my body well.
"Come, come here, stand here."
Li Xiang beckoned to Litten, facing him is a one-person high-soft Ring Target made of composite materials .
The strength of this material is very high, and it is used in professional venues within the association, but it is expensive and cannot be used by the average person.
Even Li Zhehan was willing to buy Ring Target instead of using it to build a site.
Litten has seen this thing, and it usually uses this thing when it is normal to test moves and train moves.
It stood at the place designated by Li Xiang, turned to look at him eagerly, and waited for instructions.
Trainer commands often need to be concise.
Because there is no time-stop in the animation, if you talk too much, Pokémon's reaction time is not enough, and the opportunity is likely to be taken away by the opponent.
At least at the low end, this is mostly the case.
"Let's start with the basics, Ember!"
Li Xiang stood on the oblique side of Litten and pointed to the Ring Target two meters away.
The move has an effective distance similar to a firearm. A move like Ember is a typical short-range move. If you change it to [Flamethrower], the range will be longer.
"Meow!"
Litten opened his mouth, the fur on his back suddenly turned red and exploded, and a ball of Fireball about the size of a fist flew out and slammed into the Ring Target with a bang. !
sparks flying in all directions!
Li Xiang was startled by the fire star who jumped in front of him, took a few steps back obediently and honestly, and praised Litten: "Good job!"
"meow!"
Litten responded with a smile.
Most of the Trainers in this world need to "fight side by side" with their Pokémon, not too far from it.
Roughly similar to the situation in the special chapter.
Not the one in the animation, standing ten meters and twenty meters away, it's the same as watching the whole game from the perspective of God, you can see all the tiny details, even the blind spots in the line of sight are clear Chu.
The sound comes with a loudspeaker, which can cover even the sound of explosions.
You stand so far away, rain and Sandstorm reduce line of sight visibility, how do you command?
The Pokémon is covered in smoke from the explosion, how do you know where it is?
How do you judge the moves the opponent's Pokémon is using when your sight is blocked by your Pokémon?
Wait for you to see it later and react:
"Ah! He used Will-O-Wisp
Time for the tricks to come out!
Anyone who doesn't know thinks that you are sleepwalking, so one of the key moves is to stand and watch stupidly!
Therefore.
Trainers tend to stand diagonally behind their Pokémon, no more than no less - five meters.
These five meters are also known as the "five meters between life and death".
Shorten and grow as appropriate.
The formidable power and range of Pokémon's moves are not strong at low levels, but high levels are relatively concentrated, and the aftermath power is limited. With the physical strength of humans in this world, five meters is enough.
And dodging is the basic subject of Trainer. If you can't avoid it, don't be a Trainer. The professional world has always been cruel.
There is another most important factor.
- Fight alongside your own Pokémon.
Pokémon are extraordinary beings with rich emotions. They have emotions, sorrows and joys. They will feel pain when they are hit by moves, and they will also think about whether to give up.
But if you can be by its side, fight with it, give it timely encouragement, and strengthen its beliefs.
It will forget the pain on the body, strengthen its will, risk its own life, and win for you, win honor, and win everything you want!
Even if riddled with scars is in agony, even if you are so exhausted that you can barely get up, even if you struggle to the last moment, you just stand and lose consciousness.
Pokémon has always been such a simple, yet incredible life.
