Although these training sessions showed little effect at first, through their relentless efforts, subtle changes gradually began to appear in their movements.
Milotic's movements in using water flow to guide away electric currents had clearly sped up. When those sparks touched its body, they could now be redirected elsewhere in an extremely short time, instead of having Milotic endure all the damage itself as before.
Charizard gradually mastered the top-tier Ability, Anticipation. Its evasions became smoother, its wing adjustments more precise, and the number of times it was hit steadily decreased until lightning could no longer strike it.
These changes were confirmed in the subsequent Gym battles.
On the afternoon of the sixth day, Milotic faced Jolteon, another speed-focused Pokémon.
With its full effort, it was no longer suppressed by the opponent's Electric-type moves to the point where it could barely catch its breath.
Its Aqua Ring guided electric currents away from itself, reducing the damage from Electric-type attacks while gradually healing its injuries.
Although Milotic still lost in the end, the battle time had extended from just a few minutes to more than ten minutes, and it had inflicted considerable damage on Jolteon several times.
Charizard's opponent this time was Magneton, and the two sides restrained each other.
In this battle, Charizard relied on its reflexes to evade Magneton's powerful attacks several times before finally landing a precise Flamethrower and winning the match.
Xinhai watched these changes unfold, a trace of satisfaction rising in his heart.
Of course, it was not just Milotic and Charizard. The other partners were also constantly growing through these high-intensity battles.
As the partners gradually became familiar with the pace of battling these high-level Electric-type Pokémon and learned their opponents' strengths and weaknesses, they became increasingly at ease in battle.
This was most apparent
