November 20, afternoon.
From morning until afternoon that day,
Li Wei had not gone to work.
Instead, he had been putting Lucario and the others through special training.
The morning was devoted to training their moves.
Li Wei simply assigned Lucario and the others their tasks, making adjustments primarily for Dragonair and Haxorus.
"Zeraora, Lucario!"
The two Pokémon stepped forward instantly.
"Zeraora, your task is to use Quick Attack to change direction at high speed throughout the field, without any predictable pattern."
Zeraora nodded slightly. "Cha~"
"Lucario, you can't use your eyes. Rely solely on your aura to predict every spot Zeraora will move to,
then get there instantly with Extreme Speed or Quick Attack and use Power-Up Punch at the same time."
"Luca."
Zeraora became a streak of golden lightning, while Lucario became a blue meteor.
They chased each other furiously through the obstacles, colliding in bursts of astonishing energy every time they met.
This honed Zeraora's top speed while testing Lucario's aura-based predictions and explosive acceleration.
"Dragapult, Sirfetch'd!"
Dragapult slipped silently out of Li Wei's shadow, while Sirfetch'd immediately raised its leek shield.
"Dragapult, your task is to harass Sirfetch'd with Dragon Darts from unexpected angles and try to break through its defenses with Phantom Force."
"Drrr~"
Dragapult nodded in understanding.
"Sirfetch'd, protect the marker behind you. Use Meteor Assault and Detect to block every attack!"
"Quack, quack!"
(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✧
Dragon Darts came flying from every direction like ghosts.
Sirfetch'd became an unwavering knight,
wielding its leek sword in an impenetrable flurry.
Watching them train, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction.
The intense special training lasted the entire morning.
When Li Wei finally called a halt, all the Pokémon were panting with exhaustion, but their eyes shone with excitement.
Li Wei brought out the Pokémon food and Pokéblocks he had
