Seeing that Roy's Pokémon training was almost complete, Agatha turned her attention to Roy himself. Roy was running up and down the back hill, having already completed two laps.
Agatha's physical training of Roy wasn't a sudden whim; it's because Pokémon Trainer must have a good physique!
Pokémon Trainer in the Pokémon League have now almost completely abandoned physical training and are focusing on training their Pokémon.
She didn't think it was a wise choice.
Remember when the Pokémon League was first established, there was a period when wild battles were popular? Back then, some Pokémon Trainer were just as physically strong as Pokémon, like her colleague, the Fighting type Elite Four of both the Johto and Kanto regions, Bruno.
Today's training was originally intended to give Roy a hard time, to make Roy realize the fragility of his body, and not to underestimate his physical abilities just because he has the special power of the Ghost Power.
As a result, Roy was running up and down the back mountain wearing the same clothes he wore during Intermediate Martial Artist training, without even breaking a sweat.
Seeing that Roy, who had already completed his third lap, was still full of energy, Agatha was quite satisfied. Being able to run with such heavy equipment showed that Roy's physical condition was still very good.
Could it be that my apprentice has the talent to become Fighting type Pokémon Trainer?
Last night, she had Gengar search the back mountain. Apart from a cave on the cliff, they didn't find anything else. They also noted that the search area was about 5 kilometers.
However, Gengar couldn't find the source of the Ghost type aura, which is a bit strange.
Agatha turned on her Communicator to prepare the timer, to see how long Roy would need for the last lap, and then to formulate a training plan for the future.
As a result, there was a message waiting to be checked on the screen. Agatha opened the screen and found that it was Bruno's avatar. The message was from two hours ago.
Why is the other person contacting me at this time?
What's wrong with the Kanto League this time?
She wasn't used to using Communicator, so she switched the Holographic Communication mode to silent.
Upon opening the Holographic Communication page, Agatha's expression changed upon seeing the message:
"Sister Agatha, I sent you the wrong Basic Pokéblock. I sent you the Top-grade Pokéblock that I usually eat. Your apprentice can just eat the basic Pokéblock."
I sent you another box; it should arrive at the Pokémon Center outside Rustboro City this afternoon.
????
Was it sent to the wrong address?
So what Roy just ate was...!!
Agatha looked up at Roy had finished his seventh and a half laps at the foot of the mountain behind her. He seemed to be fine. When Agatha looked over, Roy even picked up his pace a little.
Agatha silently typed another message on the Communicator.
What would happen if an ordinary person accidentally ingested it?
Bruno responded to the message very quickly:
"Ordinary people wouldn't know, but one of my junior apprentices ate a small piece out of curiosity, and collapsed immediately afterward because he couldn't digest the energy in his body."
Finally, after entering the Pokémon Center, it was Nurse Joy who used the clumps of Muk secreted by Feeble to force my apprentice to vomit up the Pokéblock in his stomach.
Otherwise, the energy might flood his entire body, eventually bursting all his meridians and blood vessels.
Why are you asking this?
"N-nothing... it's nothing."
"Okay, Agatha- san, just send me back the bag you sent before."
"Teacher, I'm back!"
Agatha watched as Roy returned to her side after running four laps, still full of energy and seemingly unaffected by the condition Bruno had just described.
"Roy, how did you feel after you ate that half of the Pokéblock?"
"Yes, I have!"
Agatha was a little nervous when she heard Roy's answer, but fortunately, she had a similar emetic substance on her body as Muk.
"I felt full of energy after eating."
Teacher, where did you buy these Pokéblock? Give me a few more next time so I can eat them when I go out. I feel like I don't even need to eat lunch today.
If I had to point out any issues... it would be that the flavor is a bit one-dimensional. It would be even better if there was a spicy option available.
"If you like it, that's good. If you like it, that's good."
Upon hearing Roy's reply, Agatha murmured a couple of words.
After checking Roy's body and confirming that there were no problems, Agatha finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Stand still where you are."
Roy stood ramrod straight, assuming that Agatha had some further training to do, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Agatha take out a Poké Ball.
Then... then gently tap it on your head?
What does this mean?
Roy was a little dazed after being hit by the Poké Ball.
Agatha was relieved to see that the Poké Ball didn't react at all.
It's just a person, thank goodness...
Is that right?
Agatha typed five words on her Communicator: "The item wasn't sent to the wrong address."
Was it not sent to the wrong address?
Bruno on the other end of the Communicator was a little confused, but surely Agatha wouldn't lie to him? Where did his newly opened box of Pokéblock go?
His apprentice helped send the Pokéblock yesterday, but it seems they got mixed up when they sent them. Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
No, maybe 1000 more push-ups will help me remember.
Just as Bruno lay down to do a one-handed push-up, Agatha sent him another message. This was the first time Agatha had ever sent him so many messages.
"Send me a set of your training weighted pants, wrist/ankle straps, and headband as well. Oh, and send me a copy of that booklet about how you apprentices train. I'll pay you when I get back to Kanto."
"Why are we talking about money when we're so close? By the way, Sister Agatha, are you going to start training in Fighting type skills too?"
As the saying goes, martial arts are profound! The long road lies ahead, and it's never too late, as long as you persevere...
Agatha couldn't understand how Bruno, this rough man, could spout so many profound principles. She was already at her age, so why was she still training in Fighting type techniques? Of course, it was for her apprentice, Roy.
However, Agatha dared not tell Bruno this news, fearing that Bruno would drop everything and come to Hoenn to see Roy if he heard it.
However, it would be unacceptable for the Kanto Region to suddenly lose two Elite Four.
I'll introduce Roy to Bruno when I bring him back to Kanto.
Agatha felt like she had struck gold. She rejected the initial physical training she had given Roy and decided to train Roy in Fighting type using Bruno's methods.
"You did alright in training today, you barely... you've passed."
"Teacher, putting everything else aside, I've spent two years running and hiking on Mt. Pyre."
Roy's words carried a hint of boastfulness.
Agatha was satisfied, but still sighed and said:
"But you're also the worst student I've ever taught."
Roy: If I remember correctly, teacher, I'm your only student.
Agatha nodded:
"So you're the worst student I've ever taught."
Roy:...
