The newly born Baby Scyther could not train yet, so Eichi merely let her come out and move her body.
Today, he had brought Baby Scyther out to watch Beedrill train.
Beedrill's training regimen had gained another three items.
The training time remained the same, but with three more moves to practice, the time spent training the other moves had to be reduced.
First, Agility could be trained together with Double Team.
Agility increased speed to create afterimages, so the two did not conflict at all.
Brick Break could be practiced together with Twin Needles, forming a combo.
Just imagine it: after Twin Needles, a Brick Break would follow. The resulting power would be extremely impressive.
Eichi held Baby Scyther and watched from the side. Seeing Beedrill's Twin Needles strike the humanoid target as fast as lightning, longing filled Baby Scyther's little eyes.
She babbled at Eichi, and he said, "Do you want to be as strong as Beedrill too?"
"Starting tomorrow, you can train. If you work hard, you can become just as strong."
Baby Scyther asked curiously, "Can... can I?"
Eichi replied with a smile, "Your potential is so good. You definitely can."
Baby Scyther eagerly anticipated tomorrow's training, hoping she could become as strong as Beedrill.
When Baby Scyther had just been born, she was 50 centimeters tall and weighed 20 kilograms.
After only one day, Scyther had grown another 5 centimeters and gained 3 kilograms.
Pokémon grew very quickly. Scyther's official data listed her height as 1.5 meters and her weight as 56 kilograms.
Amelie had told him that if Scyther was raised well, she could reach the official measurements in around half a month.
After watching Beedrill train, the desire to grow stronger also ignited in Scyther's heart.
When Beedrill finished training, Eichi told her to rest. During the break, Scyther flew over and showered Beedrill with praise.
Beedrill reluctantly offered Baby Scyther some gentle encouragement as well.
That evening, in the living room, Eichi prepared dinner for Baby Scyther. She was still too young to eat Pokémon food directly.
Just like Weedle back then, he prepared MooMoo Milk and honey for her.
After she finished eating, Eichi brought Baby Scyther into his room and began massaging her. This would help with her digestion and growth.
After the massage, he carried Baby Scyther to a small nest he had temporarily made for her.
Why did he not sleep with Baby Scyther? Mainly because she was still young and could not properly control the scythes on her arms.
Eichi was afraid that she might accidentally slice him up during the night.
After the lights went out, in the pitch-black darkness, Eichi drew on the Bug Force within his body and infused it into Baby Scyther and Beedrill.
Baby Scyther gave a comfortable moan, turned over, and continued sleeping.
Beside her, Beedrill opened her eyes. She gave Baby Scyther a gentle look before closing them again.
He had forgotten to mention it—Baby Scyther was a little princess.
Tonight was so wonderful.
The sun brought light. In the blink of an eye, dawn arrived, bringing a brand-new day.
Today, Baby Scyther would begin training. She was extremely excited in Eichi's arms.
Baby Scyther urged Eichi toward the Small Woods.
Upon arriving, Baby Scyther broke free from Eichi's arms, flew into the air, raised her arms, and said to him in her childish voice, "Training... training."
Seeing how excited she was, Eichi released Beedrill and said, "Beedrill, take Baby Scyther for a few laps first. Remember not to fly too fast, or Scyther won't be able to keep up."
Beedrill nodded to show she understood. After saying a few words to Baby Scyther, she flew off, and Baby Scyther hurried after her.
Beedrill was flying much slower than during her usual training.
Baby Scyther beat her wings with all her strength, closely following Beedrill.
They flew ten laps like that. Baby Scyther finally began to feel tired, but Beedrill was still flying ahead with ease.
Unwilling to admit defeat, Baby Scyther gritted her teeth and persevered.
By the fifteenth lap, Baby Scyther truly could not fly any farther. Her entire body suddenly went limp, and she fell from the air.
Beedrill immediately used Agility to fly over and catch her.
Then Beedrill carried Baby Scyther on her back and flew over to Eichi. When Eichi saw them, he hurried over and caught Baby Scyther.
He drew on the Bug Force within his body to restore Baby Scyther's stamina.
The moment Baby Scyther saw Eichi, she threw herself into his arms and began crying in grievance.
Eichi stroked her head and comforted her. "Who was it that insisted on flying so many laps? You were obviously tired, so you didn't have to keep going. Now you know how to cry, huh?"
Baby Scyther immediately cried even harder. Eichi quickly soothed her in a gentle voice. "Don't cry, don't cry. We won't fly anymore, all right?"
While Eichi comforted her, Beedrill also came over anxiously to comfort Baby Scyther.
As Eichi soothed her, he took out some MooMoo Milk that Scyther liked to drink from his backpack.
When Baby Scyther saw the MooMoo Milk, she immediately took it and began drinking.
Comforted by the delicious food, Baby Scyther gradually calmed down.
When Baby Scyther had just been born, Eichi had used Bug King Eye to examine her. Her potential was Outstanding—a very good talent.
Although it was not as high as that Heracross's potential, Eichi was still very satisfied. After all, his Bug Force could improve potential.
In the future, Beedrill and Baby Scyther's potential would definitely surpass that Heracross's.
After Baby Scyther recovered her stamina, Eichi said, "Baby Scyther, can you show me the moves you know?"
Restored to full energy, Baby Scyther nodded and flew out of Eichi's arms.
Baby Scyther swung her scythes with a serious expression. A clear ripple passed through the air and blasted toward a nearby tree.
A large number of leaves fell from the tree. Then Baby Scyther suddenly increased her speed by a great deal and rapidly flew toward the tree.
Her gaze then became especially sharp. After that, she took a deep breath, and white light gathered from all over her body toward her head.
After releasing every move she knew, Baby Scyther flew before Eichi, swaying her head from side to side.
Her face practically read, Hurry up and praise me. Eichi helplessly shook his head, stroked Baby Scyther's head, and praised her. "You're amazing!"
Baby Scyther was delighted by the praise. "Chacha!"
Baby Scyther had just displayed four moves: Vacuum Wave, Quick Attack, Leer, and Focus Energy.
Baby Scyther's level was still relatively low, so she only knew four moves.
Once her level increased, she would be able to learn new moves. Looking at Baby Scyther, who had just finished showing off her moves, Eichi decided that for the next few days, normal training would be enough for her. There was no need to be too strict. He wanted her to have a happy childhood, even if that childhood would only last a few days.
