The next day.
Riku made breakfast early in the morning, then trained with the legendary Pokémon. He didn't know if it was because they hadn't trained for a long time, or if they were still angry about the milk tea incident last night, but this time Riku urged them on particularly harshly.
The five legendary Pokémon, facing the serious and earnest Riku, didn't dare to play tricks. The result of honestly training was that the five of them were panting heavily, their whole bodies trembling.
As for Lapras, Metagross, and the other Pokémon, they were also summoned out of their Poké Balls by Riku and joined the training from the start. However, they were far behind the legendary Pokémon in both physique and strength. Even the pseudo-legendary Shiny Metagross couldn't last long.
This phenomenon made Riku frown and ponder. He felt these training exercises were probably tailored by the system specifically for these five guys in front of him. Otherwise, how could Elite Four-level Pokémon like Metagross and Lapras not be able to continue no matter how hard they tried? Perhaps the stronger the Pokémon, the more difficult the system made it for them.
Ralts could do it, and Riku didn't believe that a newly born Ralts could be that powerful.
"Sigh..."
"You guys... never mind."
Looking at the Pokémon collapsing all over the place, Riku really didn't know what to say. Encouragement wasn't right, scolding wasn't right, he was just conflicted.
It had been quite a while, but he hadn't expected that they still only made it to the third stage of training at most, and hadn't even started the fourth stage once. In fact, after the third stage ended, the system had already given the training method for the fourth stage: weighted movement.
They needed to carry 20 kilograms of stones and go around the island once. Looking at how weak they seemed, Riku only chose five 20-jin stones, really afraid that they would be crushed to death.
Ding ding ding...
Suddenly, the phone rang. This was the fifth call to Riku today. Riku, who was just about to go back to cook, was really speechless, but after thinking about it, he still answered.
The legendary Pokémon rested for a while, recovered some energy, and then complained,
"Is Master pursuing other human girls again and failing? Otherwise, why would he train us to death today?"
"I don't know if he failed, but I did smell a girl's scent on Master yesterday."
"Yeah, I smelled it too, and it's definitely not the scent of those previous lovers."
"Looks like there's a new lover?"
"That's for sure. I heard Master is now some kind of chief trainer in the Orange League, looks like he has a salary now."
"Three dumb birds, you're native birds of the Orange Archipelago. Is that chief trainer thing very powerful?"
"Nonsense! Of course it's powerful, the number one trainer in the Orange Archipelago!"
Groudon and Kyogre exchanged a look and suddenly laughed,
"Hahaha, powerful my ass! We say that, do you three dumb birds still dare to agree?"
"Your Orange League is just a tiny league, you can't even form an Elite Four, what's so powerful about that!"
"Hmph! If it wasn't for Master last time, your Orange Archipelago would have been wiped out by those veteran Elite Four members."
Facing Groudon and Kyogre's disdain, the Legendary Birds were angry in their hearts but couldn't refute. The resources of the Orange Archipelago were indeed scarce, and the prosperity of a region was somewhat related to legendary Pokémon.
Like the Hoenn region, because of the active tier 1 legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre, it was incredibly prosperous. Unlike the Orange Archipelago, where no one even came to sell Pokémon food blocks and Ultra Balls.
The Orange Archipelago also had a tier 1 legendary Pokémon. And it was the boss of the Legendary Birds. But this tier 1 legendary Pokémon liked quiet and would never casually appear in front of humans unless the Orange Archipelago faced the danger of destruction.
If this tier 1 legendary Pokémon was more active and showed up a few times a year, the Orange Archipelago wouldn't be so backward.
"Human just can't be in power!"
Seeing Riku still on the phone, Groudon and Kyogre seemed to have gotten addicted to complaining:
"He has so many lovers, I can't even count them all."
"It's just hard on May, I think she's pretty good, although I haven't seen her."
"Has May done those embarrassing things with Master? If so, that would be too unfair to the girl."
"Hopefully not, our Master is clearly a heartbreaker."
...
"Raru raru!" Little Ralts really couldn't listen anymore and interrupted the two tier 1 legendary Pokémon's complaints:
"You're not allowed to say bad things about my daddy."
"And Daddy is mine, I won't allow those human women to divide my daddy."
Groudon said sympathetically,
"Little Ralts, we can't stop Master."
"You're still young, you don't understand these things."
"We Pokémon, even animals, have a breeding season, but we're usually quite stable."
"But humans don't."
"As long as the women they find attractive are beautiful enough, they can be non-stop..."
"Hey hey hey, what are you saying to Little Ralts!" Kyogre quickly interrupted:
"It's still so young, you reptile, are you the only one who knows how to talk?"
"I'm just teaching Little Ralts, this isn't something that Pokémon can't hear, why can't I say it?" Groudon said angrily:
"And isn't it good to let Little Ralts recognize Master's true colors sooner?"
"That way, Little Ralts won't have any illusions about Master in the future."
"I think you have nothing better to do after eating your fill," Kyogre snorted coldly:
"You better be careful."
"If Master finds out you're trying to drive a wedge between him and Little Ralts, I think you'll be skinned alive."
"If you dare leak this out, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Bring it on, who's afraid of who!!"
...
Hearing the Pokémon, who had been like dead dogs just now, suddenly start arguing, and Serena on the other end of the phone already asking what the noise was, Riku just made up an excuse, agreed to their requests, and hung up the phone.
"You guys are quite energetic, do you want to continue training?"
Riku's expression was gloomy, and he looked down at the Pokémon still lying on the ground, his tone even a bit intimidating.
"No no, we've trained enough today," Groudon and Kyogre, who had been complaining about Riku behind his back just now, immediately shook their heads.
And the Legendary Birds took the opportunity to tattle,
"Master, when you were on the phone just now, Red Shrimp and Little Fish were complaining about you behind your back, saying you were a heartbreaker and a scumbag, and they even told Little Ralts..."
"You three dumb birds, are you looking for death!" Groudon and Kyogre were shocked.
Afraid that the Legendary Birds would continue to reveal more, they directly pounced over and instantly started fighting.
Riku was speechless, but he didn't care.
Anyway, after training, these five guys were already exhausted, and even if they fought seriously, they wouldn't cause any serious injuries.
"Master, help us!"
The battle quickly ended, and the Legendary Birds were actually being rubbed on the ground by Groudon and Kyogre.
Looking at the pitiful Legendary Birds, even Snowy was all dirty, Riku was speechless and kicked Groudon and Kyogre away with both feet:
"Alright, I haven't even settled the score with you yet, know when to stop."
"Later you guys can go to Farfetch'd's place to freeload a meal. I have something to do in the afternoon and need to leave the island."
"No way!" Hearing that there was no food, the legendary Pokémon immediately stood on the same side:
"Master, we trained so hard today, how come there's no food?"
"If there's no food, I won't train anymore in the future."
"Farfetch'd's cooking is really not as good as Master's."
"Have pity on us who were almost trained to death."
...
"Stop talking nonsense!" Riku said mercilessly:
"You still had the energy to fight just now, you're far from being trained to death."
"I'm leaving."
"If I can make it back tonight, I'll cook for you. If not, you can go to Farfetch'd's place to freeload again."
Riku pretended not to hear the legendary Pokémon's wailing.
As for Farfetch'd, who was being treated as a tool for cooking, it was speechless and suddenly reflected on why it had shown off its skills in front of the master and the legendary Pokémon in the first place.
If you don't show off, you won't die!
