The cheers and noise of Wyndon Stadium are still going on.
Because Cynthia and Leon have already appeared.
Among Competitor Tunnel, the noisy sound of Wyndon Stadium was mostly separated by the thick passage door.
Ash held Pikachu and walked slowly along the empty Competitor Tunnel.
Ash's footsteps are inevitably a little heavy,
After all, it was blocked at 6:0.
Despite the applause of the audience, the hugs of partners, the recognition of senior Red, and the encouragement of Li Wei and Professor Kukui...
These are all true,
It also made Ash regain his fighting spirit immediately.
But the weight of failure itself,
It still takes time to digest.
"Are you going to walk back with your head down?"
A familiar voice sounded from ahead.
"Are you discouraged?"
Ash looked up and saw Blue leaning against the wall at the corner of the passage, looking at him with his arms folded.
There are some shadows on Blue's face, making the sharp-lined face look unpredictable.
"Master Blue..."
"I'm not discouraged, it's just..."
Ash stopped and straightened his back subconsciously, but his voice was still a little low.
"Is it just a bit ugly to lose?"
Blue took a few steps closer, glanced at Pikachu in his arms, and then returned to his face.
"Facing Red, it's not too bad."
"I am also on the road to challenge Red, and you gave me some fighting spirit. You did a good job."
Ash opened his eyes wide in surprise, not expecting to hear such direct recognition from Blue.
Blue's mouth has always been unforgiving.
However,"
Blue changed the topic, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that made Ash feel a little chilled down his spine.
"But it's still far from being strong enough. The foundation is not solid enough, and tactical choices are sometimes too impulsive."
"You're not even close yet!"
"It's still 20,000 years early to win Red!"
Hearing Blue's stern tone,
Ash couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is just like the normal Blue Teacher.
"I won't talk about Pikachu's duel. Pikachu has done very well. Losing is your problem."
Ash:"..."
ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ...
Although I also admit that,
But should it be so heartbreaking?
"And your Sceptile."
Blue continued,
His tone was as plain as Analytic weather,
"It's okay to bring Focus Sash, but Abyssal Thrust's offense is too straightforward."
"Red, that guy can guess where you will aim with your eyes closed."
"Unburden Sceptile is too dangerous, at least he can't use it on Espeon. Future Sight is waiting for you."
"It can match up with other Pokémon. It has enough speed, but it doesn't have a wide range of moves like Espeon."
With Sceptile's Guts, that stock can break through Espeon Dazzling Gleam's Guts...
Unburden Sceptile What do you have to lose?
It can only be said that I met the wrong opponent.
Ash opened his mouth to refute that the situation was urgent, but when he thought about it carefully, he just didn't think about it.
"Melmetal's Twister has a good idea."
This is the first time Blue has praised Twister of Melmetal, which Blue had not mentioned before.
"But the rotation balance problem is still not solved. You have to help Melmetal solve this problem."
In fact, Ash has been improved twice.
It can only be said that I still encountered the wrong opponent.
Blastoise's Hydro Cannon is too strong.
Later, Blue commented on the mistakes Ash made when conducting Greninja and Snorlax.
The reviews of the youth hostel are sharp and accurate.
Pointing directly at the tactical loopholes and rough spots in Ash and Battle that were covered up by passion and instinct.
Ash often relies on his passion,
There is also the so-called accidental nature of fighting.
Surprise works for some people,
But it doesn't work for everyone.
Blue There are no comforting words,
Only Analytic is so calm that he is almost cruel.
But this ruthless analysis extinguished the remaining confusion and self-doubt in Ash's heart.
Let his mind clear up quickly.
Only then did Ash realize the gap between himself and Red.
Not only in terms of the strength of Pokémon, but also in the control of these battle details that are drilled into the bones.
"This is simple, watch more of his videos."
Ash raised his head and said solemnly:
"I understand, Master Blue."
"Huh, just understand."
Blue snorted coldly, put down his arms, and tapped Ash's forehead with his knuckles.
"It allows Red to use Z-Move."
"It's not a shame."
This is the highest level of Blue-style encouragement.
Ash covered his forehead, but couldn't help laughing.
"Thank you, Master Blue!"
Ash's mood is no longer so heavy.
"Don't be too happy too soon."
The imperceptible smile on Blue's face disappeared, replaced by a smile that made Ash's back faintly shiver.
This smile Akin is very familiar.
I can only say it was very scary.
Blue said slowly, "Seeing the gap clearly is the first step. The second step is to smooth it out."
Ash:"Eh?"
Blue looked at Ash, "Master League will give you a week after the end."
"Whether you go to Alola, whether you go to Jubilife City, or you go somewhere else,
Restore your Pikachu and other partners to their best condition, and then..."
He leaned forward slightly and approached Ash,
That smile is particularly clear under the light,
It's also particularly penetrating,
"Come to Pallet Town. Find me."
Ash swallowed,
"Go, go Pallet Town... what to do?"
"Hell Special Training, second issue."
Blue word by word,
Let Ash fall into the cold abyss.
"The goal this time is not to make you stronger, but to completely temper you, inside and out."
"Tactical planning, attribute depth, move connection, on-the-spot response, Stamina allocation...
Everything you lack, everything that guy Red is good at, make up for it and practice until death."
Blue couldn't help but think of what Grandpa Lian of Li Wei said, "As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death!"
Ash&Pikachu:"..."
Help!!!
(இωஇ)
(óò｡)
Blue showed a smile and said, "Be prepared, this time Special Training will be much friendlier than the last time."
Blue emphasizes the word "friendly" in a meaningful way.
Ash stood there holding Pikachu,
Digesting this sudden invitation.
First shocked, then excited!
Unwilling to lose to Red,
To the higher realm Covet...
Hell Special Training?
It sounds terrible,
But this is Special Training who can really become stronger.
Ash nodded vigorously, "After Master League, I will report to Pallet Town immediately and I will never be late!"
"Remember what you said."
Blue turned around, turned her back to him and waved her hand.
"There's no need to do it right away. Let's rest for a few days."
Looking at the back of Blue disappearing at the end of the passage,
Ash looked at Pikachu in his arms, and also at Poké Ball at his waist, "Let's become stronger together!"
