Garchomp's training was simple: a comprehensive regimen of basic exercises.
His abilities were like a barrel with limited capacity.
His limbs were too weak compared to his fins, which were far too strong.
That imbalance had grown so wide that his movements had become slightly uncoordinated.
Fortunately, Garchomp had a solid foundation, a good pedigree, and decent potential.
If he had been any other Pokémon, more than a year of such narrowly focused training would probably have exhausted his potential. That would have been as strong as he could ever get.
This was no slight against Cynthia or her abilities. Her training methods had always been like this, demanding a great deal of her Pokémon's natural talent.
That was why, as everyone knew, Lucario was the only Pokémon she had besides Garchomp who truly stood out.
Her Pokémon's overall strength was fairly average, with none exceptionally strong or weak.
And that was the problem.
Training Garchomp this time was also a chance for Xu Mu to prove himself.
Until now, thanks to the system, his Pokémon had been a little too... well, anyone could see it.
So this was Xu Mu's first time training a Pokémon in earnest.
Flying hundreds of laps around Magic City Academy was just the warm-up.
Garchomp had plenty more to do, like spending three straight hours using Dig at a moment's notice.
Or enduring Snorlax's Earthquake attacks underground.
Or...
In short, to build Garchomp's physical abilities across the board and raise his strength as quickly as possible, Xu Mu had pulled out all the stops.
He trained Garchomp seriously for a full two weeks!
For Garchomp, those two weeks had been pure Hell.
He was put through brutal drills by day, then made to sit through Dragonite's lessons at night.
