After Combusken heard Xinhai's instructions, its body was instantly wrapped in a layer of blazing flames, and as it ran, the flames burned more fiercely.
"Don't be scared--" Combusken let out a high-pitched cry, and its speed instantly increased to a new level.
Feeling a little hot, Xinhai picked up the tablet on the side of the treadmill and took a few steps back. While stepping back, his eyes were fixed on the data on the tablet.
I saw the speed data above jumping rapidly, climbing from 47 km/h to 60 km/h, and still increasing.
Seeing the increase in speed, Xinhai raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But he knew that the potential of Combusken was far more than that.
"Very good, Combusken! Keep it up!" Xinhai encouraged, his voice full of expectations for Combusken's ultimate speed.
Combusken seemed to be even more excited when he heard the encouragement from Xinhai. Its eyes were fixed on the front, as if it saw a powerful opponent ahead, and it was chasing it with all its strength.
"Don't be scared!" There was another low shout, and the golden flames all over Combusken "bang" Explosive Combustion, becoming more surging.
The treadmill has reached an astonishing speed, but the numbers on the display are still beating. Now the speed of Combusken has soared to 78 kilometers per hour.
Now the speed of Combusken is faster than the limit speed in the Torchic period, and the speed of Combusken is still increasing until it climbs to 150 kilometers per hour, and the crazy momentum gradually calms down.
Seeing the number on the tablet that Combusken's speed finally stabilized at 150 kilometers per hour, Xinhai couldn't hide his excitement even though he had expected it.
During the Torchic period, it can activate the skill twice in a row, and then superimpose the speed increase brought by its own Speed Boost without causing too much damage to itself.
Now that he has evolved into Combusken, his physical fitness and physical strength are no longer the same.
"Combusken, continue to use Flame Charge!" Xinhai ordered decisively, swiping his finger on the control panel to increase the speed of the treadmill, "Let us see where your current limit is!"
After Combusken heard Xinhai's instructions, the flames on his body burned violently again, and the temperature of the flames instantly increased to a new height.
I saw that the golden flames on its body were faintly white, and its body appeared more vigorous and powerful when wrapped in the flames.
Combusken started running with all its strength, and its speed began to increase rapidly again.
On the treadmill's display screen, the speed data jumped rapidly again, rapidly climbing from 150 kilometers/hour to 230 kilometers/hour, and even kept increasing.
Xinhai looked at the number that was still rising in surprise, and turned his attention to Combusken who was running.
The muscles of its whole body contract and relax powerfully while running at high speed, showing amazing explosive power and endurance.
When the speed increases to 240 km/h, the increase begins to slow down, and finally reaches 263 km/h and stops increasing.
Seeing this, Xinhai understood that Combusken had reached its current speed limit.
Of course, if you continue to use Flame Charge, you can still improve, but the improvement will be smaller, and it will put a lot of burden on the body. It is easy to have the same situation as during the challenge. In serious cases, it may even affect the potential of Pokémon.
After running for a while and testing Combusken's current physical limit, Xinhai directed Combusken to start slowing down.
"Very good, Combusken! Now, slow down slowly and adjust your breathing." There was a hint of gentleness in Xinhai's voice.
After hearing Xinhai's instructions, Combusken began to gradually slow down. Its body was still wrapped in flames, but the intensity of the flames had gradually weakened.
The speed of Combusken slowly dropped, from 240 kilometers to 200 kilometers, and then to 150 kilometers, until the treadmill returned to its initial low-speed operation.
"Don't be scared~"
After stopping, Combusken's chest heaved violently and he was breathing heavily, but he still raised his head proudly and let out a loud chirp at Xinhai, as if to show off his victory.
"Awesome." Xinhai couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to rub the top of its head. The heat remaining in the feathers could still be felt in the palm of his hand. "It has improved a lot, but you are not familiar enough with the evolved body, so you can't stop panting after running."
"Next time you run, pay more attention to the coordination of your steps and breathing. Take a few steps and breathe at your own pace."
As Xinhai spoke, he took out Intermediate Energy Cube and a bottle of Beginner Body-Enhancing Potion from his backpack and handed them to him, "The benefit of doing this, I've told you before, is that it can improve endurance. In short, be careful when you run again later."
Combusken took the Pokéblock from Xinhai, swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, then took the Body Strengthening Potion that Xinhai opened, and drank it all in one gulp.
The cold medicine slid down the throat and instantly turned into a warm current flowing through the body. The muscle soreness caused by running just now subsided a lot.
"Don't be scared!" (I understand! I will pay attention next time.) It nodded vigorously, its small eyes full of seriousness.
Xinhai looked at its appearance and said with a smile, "Don't worry, take a rest for ten minutes. Later, we will test the power of your close range skills."
Ten minutes later, Xinhai took Combusken to the corner of the training room. Here stood a special machine that was completely black, "Power Tester" produced by Devon Corporation.
The front is inlaid with a pressure-resistant cushioned target board, and next to it is a display screen that displays attack power values in real time.
The screen is also marked with some average attack values of Pokémon using specific skills, such as: Brick Break - Machop 52, Machoke 83...
"Look, it's this machine." Xinhai took a picture of the test instrument that looked very similar to Dragon Ball, and said to Combusken, "Let me demonstrate it to you first!"
Xinhai stood in front of the target board and explained while demonstrating, "Did you see the red dot in the center of the target board? This is a special buffer material, and attacks hit on it will be recorded. When attacking, aim here, and the force must be crisp and clear, just like hitting the opponent's vital points directly in a battle."
After saying that, he took half a step back, placed his feet shoulder-width apart, took a deep breath, suddenly bent his waist and twisted his body, and his shoulders hit the red dot in the center of the target board!
"Bang!"
The target board trembled violently. The display screen lit up instantly, and a red number popped up: "153".
"Did you see that?" Xinhai retracted his shoulders and picked up the tablet next to the machine. "The value will be fixed within three seconds after the attack. You can just use your skills to hit it later. Don't worry about the machine."
"Don't be scared!" Combusken looked closely at the target board, then looked at the display screen on the side, and nodded his little head to indicate that he understood.
"Okay, now it's your turn. The first skill, use Rock Smash!" Xinhai said, calling up the average power value of Rock Smash's skill on the tablet.
Combusken immediately bowed over Stockpile, clenching his right paw tightly, and the red energy of Fighting type instantly wrapped around it.
It stared at the red dot for two seconds, and then its right hand suddenly shot out like an arrow from the string, making a sound that broke through the air, and hit the bullseye hard!
"Boom!" The target board trembled, and the numbers on the display screen climbed rapidly, finally settling on: "57".
Combusken looked at this number with confusion, then looked at Xinhai, scratched his head, and didn't quite understand why his attack was so much less powerful than the trainer's.
Xinhai looked at the average value on the tablet and nodded in approval. "Not bad! The power has exceeded the level of 87% of similar people using Rock Smash. But just now, the strength of your waist has not been fully used. If you add the explosive power of turning, the power can be even higher."
He pointed at the red dot again, "Encore Rock Smash! Remember, when punching, you must twist your waist and turn your body, gather all the strength of your body into your fist, and burst out instantly!"
A flash of understanding flashed in Combusken's eyes, and he nodded heavily. He bowed his body again, condensed Fighting type energy in his right paw, and pressed his center of gravity toward his right leg.
The whole body is like a compressed spring, twisting and turning suddenly! The fist uses the power of the whole body and hits the red dot accurately!
"Bang!" The number on the display jumped rapidly, and finally stopped steadily: "68".
