Seeing that Litwick could already use Flamethrower, Roy was about to feed Litwick the yellow Pokéblock that Agatha had given him when Agatha stopped him.
"This is for you to eat."
"Oh... Ah? I'll eat it!"
Roy pointed uncertainly to himself.
"Yeah, didn't you skip breakfast? These Pokéblock are really good stuff."
Agatha explained that these were basic Fighting type Pokéblock suitable for human consumption that she bought from Bruno. They had already been made by removing some other energy elements from the Berry according to human needs.
The Fighting type apprentices who train with Bruno usually enjoy eating this kind of food.
For the average person, eating just one basic Pokéblock is enough to meet their daily energy needs.
Are Pokéblock suitable for human consumption?
So, are humans Pokémon too?
Roy was a little suspicious. The Pokéblock his hand looked similar in color to the one Primeape ate. With a skeptical attitude, he took a bite and chewed it in his mouth.
mia, mia, mia...
It tastes like eating compressed biscuits.
If you're asking how delicious it is, it definitely isn't as good as the tonkotsu ramen and steamed buns made by the cafeteria worker, but it's not bad either.
Just as Roy was about to take his second bite, he suddenly felt as if his stomach was filled, and he felt full of energy.
Is it really that filling?
He usually has a large appetite, and after his Ghost Power was upgraded to level 2, he could eat even more. Yet now he was full after eating only this small half-piece.
Roy held the remaining half of the Pokéblock in his hand; he simply couldn't stomach a second bite.
This Pokéblock is amazing!
I can ask Agatha for more food when I go out.
Seeing that Roy had only eaten half Agatha, he didn't say anything.
One piece is enough for an average person, and half a piece is about right for a teenager like Roy. She didn't intend to train Roy to be a Fighting type Pokémon Trainer.
"Take off your clothes?"
"Ah?"
Roy didn't understand, but he should just do what Agatha said.
"No need to take your pants off."
"Oh oh."
"Put this on."
Just as Roy took off his short-sleeved shirt, Agatha threw him a black sleeveless top, which he instinctively reached out to catch.
The moment he picked it up, Roy, who was completely unprepared, almost stumbled from the weight of the clothes in his hands. After regaining his balance, he discovered that the clothes in his hands were no lighter than his original Oak.
It turns out that this seemingly thin sleeveless shirt actually weighs around 20 kilograms?
What exactly is this material made of?
Roy was puzzled but put it on anyway, and instantly felt as if his upper body was being restrained by something.
As Agatha continued, "Run four laps around the back mountain to warm up," Roy was surprised that Agatha would scold him first.
Running with added weight?
Shouldn't we be teaching him how to train Ghost type Pokémon?
Is Agatha planning to train herself to be Super Saiyan?
Seeing Agatha raise her hand, ready to deliver another sharp blow to the head, Roy had no choice but to run towards the back of the mountain.
"Dream!"
Just as Litwick and Misdreavus were about to catch up with Roy, Gengar, the Gengar purple creature, blocked their way.
"Don't worry, you'll learn skills with Gengar later."
Compared to simply giving Roy a sharp rap on the head, Agatha is much more patient with Pokémon.
Seeing that he was alright, Primeape sat under the shade of a tree with Roy's Communicator, watching the Fighting type tournament video.
Recently, he felt that the itchy feeling in his body had disappeared, and he just wanted to quickly untie the bandages and go for a run and exercise in the back mountain with Roy.
Gengar then began teaching Litwick how to use Shadow Ball. The previously carefree Gengar instantly changed its expression, transforming into a strict instructor as it began Coaching Litwick on how to generate power.
Compared to Primeape, which can only learn moves from videos, Gengar's live demonstration of how Litwick can manually create Shadow Ball is significantly more efficient in teaching moves.
Litwick watched as Gengar condensed its Ghost-type energy in its hand, controlling it to prevent it from dissipating, steadily compressing the energy to the size of a basketball.
Litwick has no hands, it can only imitate Gengar's power generation pattern, condensing Ghost-type energy into the Ember above its head, and then compressing the Ghost-type energy into a sphere the size of a table tennis ball.
Just as Litwick was about to launch the purple Energy Ball above its head, just like Gengar had done, the Energy Ball suddenly disappeared.
Gengar immediately saw the problem: Litwick couldn't control the energy within its body. So it demonstrated it to Litwick again, this time Gengar directly condensed a Shadow Ball about 1 meter in diameter and tossed it back and forth between its two hands.
This is absolute control over energy. Litwick hasn't reached that level yet, but as long as it practices with it, it's guaranteed to be able to do that in the future.
This scene left the Litwick speechless.
Gengar thought Litwick was impressed by its move, but little did it know that Litwick was actually thinking about the enormous Shadow Ball, hundreds of meters in diameter, that Team Giratina in the Spirit World.
I wish I could make a Shadow Ball that big myself.
Although Misdreavus has learned Shadow Ball, Gengar sees it as full of flaws, both in terms of energy gathering and the power of Shadow Ball.
In particular, the Misdreavus consumed too much energy when condensing the Shadow Ball, which is a major taboo in battle.
We're starting from scratch!
After teaching Litwick and Misdreavus, Agatha let the two little ones practice alone while she began to observe Roy, the chubby, sleepy Duskull.
To Agatha's surprise, Duskull's move pool included Skill Swap.
Although Duskull takes a long time to switch Abilities, it has indeed learned it. With regular practice, the time required to switch Abilities can be reduced.
You know, move discs like Ability Swap are quite rare. Could it be that Gengar from Mount Sagami taught him that?
The Duskull then displayed two more skills it had previously learned: Trick Room and sleep.
As Roy had predicted, Duskull fell asleep right in front of Agatha.
Agatha didn't wake the Duskull. Instead, she stepped into the Trick Room created by the Night Duskull and carefully experienced the space until the Trick Room ended.
