Dian gathered the bound documents in his hands and fastened them with a pink clip... Apparently, that was Fennel's taste.
He rubbed the corners of his eyes and slowly stretched. Only now had Beedrill's path forward begun to become clear, and this also marked his own progress as a Trainer.
The further a Trainer advanced, the fewer commands they gave. Gradually, their Pokémon would take on their most distinctive battle style and begin judging the situation for themselves... This was because, once battles reached a certain level, an ordinary person's awareness and vision could no longer keep up with a Pokémon's speed and reactions.
And this was precisely the greatest difference between an Elite Trainer and a Veteran Trainer—a boundary that could not have been clearer.
For example, at the Elite Trainer level, Pokémon and Trainers still relied on commands or coded signals to coordinate in battle.
Veteran Trainers, however, often grasped the entire state of the battle as soon as they took the field. They might give only two or three commands capable of turning the situation around throughout a match. Most of their time was spent considering and judging the intentions of the opposing Trainer and Pokémon, and how to exploit them or break through their plans.
This was especially true in battles between veterans. Their focus was no longer on what their own Pokémon should do when facing a probing attack... Their Pokémon would usually respond in the way that best matched their thinking, whether smashing the attack head-on or dodging it. Those actions no longer required commands.
A Veteran Trainer's job was no longer to issue commands, but to devise tactics, break through the opposition's plans, adjust their own tactics on the fly, and ultimately win... Just as in Dian's battles with Wallace's student Thatcher
