"Chamo!"
Torchic also responded with full energy.
It eagerly moved its body, ready to go.
In these past twenty days, Torchic had long been impatient to become stronger, which was something every Pokemon was passionate about.
Tetsuya had told Torchic about today's training the night before. At the time, Torchic had confidently flapped its little wings, indicating that it was completely fine.
Tetsuya just smiled, watching the somewhat overconfident Torchic.
In his plan, the first 20 days after it was born would probably be the easiest twenty days of Torchic's life.
After all, every day it just had to eat, drink, and play around. When it was tired, it would sleep, only needing to focus on getting enough nutrition.
However, starting from today, this little guy would have to complete strenuous training at fixed times and in fixed amounts every day, just like its senior, Pidgeot.
After all, in this world, everyone cared about their Pokemon, but this didn't mean they wouldn't let them endure hardship.
Only through arduous training could a Pokemon become stronger.
This was also the origin of the name Pokemon Trainer.
Tetsuya also found it strange. Based on Ash's lack of training in the anime from his previous life, how did his Pokemon get stronger?
This completely defied objective laws and facts.
All strength was accumulated little by little.
Even with spending a lot of money, it still required long-term training to convert the energy brought by resources into strength.
Otherwise, it would only appear strong on the outside but be weak within.
One could only say that anime was always anime, not the real world.
I hope this little guy can last long at the beginning, Tetsuya thought to himself.
After all, it was the same when he first trained Pidgey.
Although it wanted to become stronger, a child would always want to shrink back. Pidgey also couldn't keep going multiple times during training.
It wasn't until training became a habit that Pidgey stopped complaining.
This also had something to do with a Pokemon's personality. Tetsuya only hoped that his Torchic wouldn't let down its Champion potential, at least not be the one in ten thousand type that didn't want to become stronger.
Otherwise, Tetsuya could only consider himself unlucky.
However, after spending so many days together, Tetsuya had been educating Torchic and was still full of confidence in it.
"Then the first training today is running."
Tetsuya pointed into the distance and said.
"The round trip distance is about 10 kilometers, and I'll be running with you."
Trainers training together with their Pokemon could effectively improve their intimacy and bond. Moreover, Tetsuya himself also needed to exercise.
"Cha!" Hearing its Trainer say this, Torchic also excitedly flapped its wings and readily agreed.
For Torchic, running was something it was naturally good at. It ran around at home every day, and running with its Trainer would be even more interesting.
And ten kilometers was just a piece of cake. Torchic was quite confident, even though it had no idea how to count.
Torchic impatiently signaled its Trainer to start.
Tetsuya took out a dark object from the side. This was part of the training set he specifically bought for Torchic at Devon Corporation, a Weighted Vest.
"You have to wear this to run."
Torchic tilted its head, watching its Trainer put a strange outfit on it, and then poke at the shiny spot on the chest of the outfit.
Tetsuya was setting the weight of this outfit, fine-tuning different positions based on Zero's data.
Originally, this Weighted Vest from Devon Corporation had a built-in set of data, and a normal Trainer could just use it after buying it.
But Tetsuya had Zero, and Torchic's development was also far beyond that of its peers. The built-in data from Devon Corporation wasn't very accurate, so he needed to adjust it himself.
After Tetsuya finished adjusting the data and confirmed the values, he signaled Torchic that it could start.
Torchic moved its body, didn't feel anything wrong, just a little heavier, and then ran off happily.
Tetsuya let Pidgeot, who was waiting on the side, follow and watch Torchic. He himself wasn't in a hurry and casually strolled behind.
Torchic was so fast now only because its development was indeed good and it had sufficient stamina. It would soon taste hardship.
Tetsuya ran slowly at his own pace, and before long, he saw Torchic's figure.
At this time, Torchic had already started to feel something was wrong. It began to pant heavily, and the clothes on its body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
Torchic had never thought that running could be so tiring. Its legs felt a little numb.
Tetsuya felt a burst of amusement in his heart as he watched Torchic, whose speed had already started to decrease.
Let this little guy not care about the weight. The black technology of the Devon Weighted Vest wasn't that simple.
It looked no different from ordinary clothes, but in reality, it was a portable weight room, similar to a Gravity Field, which could train the whole body, including the inside, and different parts had different adjustments based on the focus.
One should know that the weight data given by Zero wasn't given randomly. It was combined with Torchic's physical condition and limits, which could maximize the training effect without causing physical damage.
Tetsuya looked at the data. It was a little over three kilometers now, and he estimated that with Torchic's stamina, it could barely reach the goal.
Tetsuya followed beside Torchic unhurriedly, cheering it on.
"Keep it up, Torchic! Pay attention to coordinating your breathing and steps."
Listening to its Trainer's voice, Torchic gritted its teeth and nodded.
Torchic slowed its breathing, adjusted its pace, and began running alongside its Trainer.
Returning to the backyard of their home, Tetsuya stopped and took a deep breath. For him, this was just a normal warm-up; Torchic's speed wasn't fast yet.
"Chacha mo!"
But Torchic was different.
As soon as Tetsuya stopped, Torchic immediately collapsed onto its rear, panting heavily, its feathers slightly messy from its sweat.
Even the natural drying ability of Fire-type Pokemon wasn't working well, which showed how tired Torchic was.
Tetsuya helped Torchic remove the Weighted Vest and let it sit on the ground to rest for a while.
After all, the physical constitution of Pokemon and humans is different; they don't need a cool-down period after exercise like humans do.
After feeding it some juice squeezed from Oran Berries, about half a minute later, Torchic recovered some of its stamina.
Tetsuya moved a chair over, placed Torchic on his lap, and began giving Torchic a simple post-exercise massage using the method provided by Zero.
This was a method for recovery and stimulating Pokemon growth provided by Zero based on various data and information. There were corresponding massage techniques after each stage of training.
Torchic was originally still exhausted all over, but after being massaged by its Trainer, its entire body relaxed.
Its previously sore legs gradually recovered as well.
Accompanied by Tetsuya's careful massage techniques and appropriate strength, Torchic felt utterly comfortable.
"Cha~!"
The little guy let out an extremely satisfied cry, indicating that its Trainer had done a good job.
