The equipment for flying training was a super-powerful fan. The fan alone was � meters in diameter, and it was fixed to the wall of the training grounds.
The fan was connected to a separate room, and there were many pinhole-sized vents above the room.
The maximum wind force inside could reach � level. Level-seven winds were equivalent to hurricane-force winds. The trees being blown down and people being swept away on television were often caused by winds of this level.
At higher-level training grounds, they had even developed electric fans capable of blowing �-level winds.
The ground and walls were covered with a thick layer of sound-absorbing sponge. This was to prevent the noise of the rotating fan from disturbing normal operations outside. Furthermore, high-quality sponge padding could effectively protect Flying-type Pokémon when they exhausted their strength, preventing them from crashing directly into the ground and suffering secondary injuries.
This flying training room also had a control panel with switches marked for �- to 7-level winds.
As long as the switch was pulled to the corresponding wind level, the powerful fan could create a never-ending hurricane.
Above the �-level wind setting was a large red exclamation mark.
The level-seven wind setting even had a black skull marked above it.
There was also a notice that read, "Winds of levels 6 and 7 are dangerous for Pokémon. Direct use of �- and 7-level winds is not recommended."
"Users of the flying training room should progress gradually. Do not rush or overexert yourselves, lest you injure your Pokémon."
Qing Wu whispered something to Zubat before leaving the flying training room. After checking that the training room's door was closed, Qing Wu activated the switch.
The wind force continued to rise from level one to level two and then level three. Zubat went from handling it with ease at the beginning to struggling somewhat.
With Tailwind active, Zubat could better sense the changes brought about by the different wind forces and feel the power of the wind.
To be honest, theoretically speaking, if Zubat endured level-seven winds for over thirty minutes, it had a �% chance of learning the Normal-type ultimate move Extreme Speed, and a �% chance of learning the Flying-type ultimate move Brave Bird.
Five minutes passed. Qing Wu watched as Zubat clearly began to sway precariously in the level-� winds.
Zubat exerted every ounce of its strength and desperately flapped its wings. Relying on the Tailwind, it overcame the wind resistance and increased its speed. Only then could it avoid being blown into the wall.
"Zubat, prepare to activate the level-� winds." Seeing that Zubat had adapted to the level-� winds, Qing Wu put his mouth to the microphone and spoke to Zubat, which was training inside the flying training room.
With the activation of the level-� winds, Zubat immediately felt something completely different.
The turbulent currents formed by the strong wind disrupted Zubat's normal movements. Zubat felt as if it were a lone boat on a stormy sea, struggling desperately amid the swaying wind and rain.
That was not even the main point. The main point was that tennis balls the size of fists occasionally fell within the level-� winds.
These highly elastic tennis balls were like rolling stones. If Zubat was even slightly careless, one would strike its body.
If it was hit directly, Zubat's bones might even be broken.
What Qing Wu wanted to test was merely how long Zubat could endure the level-� winds. As for the level-� winds, Qing Wu ultimately still did not dare try them.
At this moment, the gravity in the gravity room had already reached � times normal gravity. Kecleon was struggling to hold on in the �-times-gravity room, all four limbs trembling. Even so, Kecleon gritted its teeth and persisted.
"The slow bird flies first." This was the principle Qing Wu taught Kecleon: diligence could make up for a lack of talent.
No matter how poor a Pokémon's aptitude was, as long as it worked hard, it could still achieve impressive results.
Kecleon had once placed extremely high demands on itself. That was why, even after losing part of its foundation, it had still reached Pseudo-Elite Four strength.
Qing Wu actually harbored an ambition. Apart from restoring his Elite Four strength from his previous life, he wanted to go even further.
When Qing Wu trained his Pokémon, he was extremely ruthless. He also had a method for rapidly restoring their strength.
As a Breeding Master, Qing Wu could see a Pokémon's limits.
Thus, when Qing Wu saw that Kecleon and Zubat had reached their limits, he hurriedly switched off the gravity room and the flying training room.
Sure enough, just as the two Pokémon were about to collapse, the training equipment stopped. Both of them slumped to the ground, unable to move.
"Rest first and recover your strength." The goal Qing Wu had set for Kecleon was to move with ease under four times normal gravity in the gravity room.
The goal Qing Wu had set for Zubat was to endure �-level winds for � minutes.
From what Qing Wu had observed just now, Kecleon could not last long under � times normal gravity, while Zubat had only managed to hold on for less than � minutes under the level-� winds before exhausting itself.
Qing Wu also needed to specially prepare Energy Poffins that would allow them to withstand the pressure. Only then could he prevent their foundations from being damaged by high-intensity training.
"Kecleon, you need to carefully comprehend the gravitational magnetic field. How can you make full use of your Steel-type Pokémon attributes? After all, magnetic fields have both attractive and repulsive forces." Qing Wu knew that the Pokémon with the greatest understanding of magnetic fields were Magnezone and Probopass.
These two kinds of Pokémon could use gravity moves effortlessly, and they could also float in the air through electromagnetic levitation.
"Zubat, you need to fully sense the direction in which the wind is moving. Tailwind can not only reduce wind resistance and increase your flying speed, but also allow you to sense the speed at which the wind is moving." Qing Wu reminded Zubat.
"Once you've rested, continue training." As Qing Wu watched the two Pokémon busily training, he wondered whether he should start raising a third Pokémon. Naturally, the earlier a Pokémon was raised, the more advantageous it was.
In Qing Wu's eyes, Team Rocket's trial was like child's play. Once they left the trial grounds, the fighting would become even more intense.
There would be fierce struggles within Team Rocket, battles between Team Rocket and the League, and conflicts between Team Rocket and underground organizations from other regions. All of them would involve large numbers of people, and many would die.
The weak would never see tomorrow in Team Rocket. Everyone had to wrap themselves in an outer shell of steel and iron, sealing their soft hearts beneath iron thorns.
Only by protecting themselves layer by layer and placing reason above emotion could they survive.
Although Qing Wu wanted to raise a third Pokémon, he was extremely picky about Pokémon aptitude, so he felt that this might be difficult.
It was better to have none than to settle for something inferior. That was Qing Wu's standard.
Because the second gathering at the Trial Base was approaching, Qing Wu could only wait until after the gathering to explore the entire Trial Island.
"Boss, that Qing Wu is back." The young Kuraki was stroking Ekans's scales, which felt cold, smooth, and slippery.
"Should we teach him a lesson?" a Trial Participant with dyed blond hair asked ingratiatingly.
"None of you are to make a move. He's very strong. Don't offend him." Kuraki was currently the leader of the largest group among the Trial Participants. The group also had a great many Pokémon.
Kuraki's group earned points by capturing Pokémon and excavating treasures, and Kuraki's Ekans had gained many benefits as well.
It was an even larger black serpent, with a golden lower jaw. Arbok's head and back were covered with golden armor, while its belly had six small golden buttons.
It had sharp red fangs and a tail as sharp as a blade.
This was the Pokémon Kuraki had newly subdued. Kuraki was extremely obsessed with snake Pokémon. Powerful snake Pokémon were what he pursued.
