After getting up and washing, Zhang Cheng grabbed the Fighting-type Energy Pokéblocks he had bought yesterday and left the Inn.
Once outside, Zhang Cheng had breakfast, then took his Pokémon into Magnolia Forest.
As they approached the waterfall in the forest, they could hear Machoke practicing moves from far away.
Zhang Cheng hurried over to the waterfall and greeted Machoke.
Seeing Zhang Cheng and the Pokémon arrive, Machoke stopped training.
"Machoke~ Machoke~"
Machoke wished Zhang Cheng and the Pokémon good morning, and the Pokémon happily returned the greeting.
"Yobo~"
"Bip~ Bip~"
"Gana~ Gana~"
"Baa~ Baa~"
The five Pokémon quickly hit it off and chatted happily together.
"Machoke, these Fighting-type Energy Pokéblocks are a gift from the Pokémon." Zhang Cheng took out the Fighting-type Energy Pokéblocks he had bought yesterday and offered them to Machoke.
Worried that Machoke would refuse, Zhang Cheng said they were from the Pokémon to make the gift easier to accept.
The Pokémon also pointed at the Pokéblocks in Zhang Cheng's hands, encouraging Machoke to accept them.
After a moment's hesitation, Machoke reached out and accepted the Pokéblocks, then turned and put them away in the cave where he lived.
"Machoke!"
After putting the Pokéblocks away, Machoke rubbed his hands together, eager to battle the Pokémon.
Seeing how eager Machoke was to fight, Zhang Cheng chose Poliwhirl as his first opponent.
"Yobo!"
Poliwhirl was also looking forward to battling Machoke. The two Pokémon moved to the large clearing beside the waterfall and prepared to fight.
Zhang Cheng quickly opened the system to check Machoke's stats:
