Tetsuya smiled exasperatedly, patting the little guy's head, but the massage continued nonetheless.
After about twenty minutes of massage, Tetsuya finally stopped.
"Alright, little guy, you've rested enough. We're starting the next training session."
Torchic reluctantly jumped down.
After twenty days together, it knew very well when its Trainer was joking with it and when his instructions had to be followed.
Besides, Torchic was also happy to train and become stronger. Although it was tough, there were also comfortable massages and delicious food.
"The training you're about to do is right there."
Tetsuya pointed to the already prepared field, which was the somewhat strange backyard.
The entire backyard now looked very much like the Wooden Dummy Alley of Shaolin Temple rumored in Tetsuya's previous life, though with some differences.
Most of the area was covered by a white net. In the middle part of the net were wooden stakes at irregular intervals, densely arranged in several rows of paths. Wooden stakes often suddenly appeared in the middle of the paths.
This was an obstacle course set up by Tetsuya in conjunction with Zero's plan. The distance between each wooden stake was precisely measured.
From the start to the finish, it would get closer and closer to Torchic's various limits.
Three fixed routes were set up, with increasing difficulty.
Not only that, but later Torchic could also be required to advance along the route specified by Tetsuya, causing the difficulty to constantly change and forcing Torchic's reaction to be further trained.
Then, on both sides of the wooden stake formation, more than a dozen small instruments were set up. Their function was similar to a tennis ball launcher, capable of launching matching bouncy balls from the instrument's launch port.
The instrument's firing speed, the hardness of the bouncy balls, and the speed of the bouncy balls after being launched could all be adjusted.
Their main purpose was to interfere with Torchic's speed in passing through the wooden stake formation.
The positions were also precisely calculated by Zero and matched with different routes to give Torchic the most perfect training.
Looking from directly above, the overall layout might look a bit like a Bagua Formation Map, chaotic but aesthetically pleasing.
Tetsuya smiled as he looked at Torchic. He knew that he had spent 1.5 million on this set of equipment. The Devon Corporation employee was stunned when he saw Tetsuya buy so many launchers.
It was already exaggerated for a Normal Trainer to use one, two or three were considered strong, but Tetsuya directly prepared a full twelve, and also equipped matching weighted clothing.
After all, a Normal Trainer didn't have Zero. Giving him twelve would be redundant, but Tetsuya was different.
Tetsuya could maximize the use of these training equipment through Zero.
Torchic looked at the strange field, not knowing how to train.
Tetsuya led Torchic to the entrance of the wooden stake formation and pointed it out to it.
Each wooden stake was marked with a sequence marker of a different color. Tetsuya said, "What you need to do today is to advance along the path formed by the wooden stakes marked with this green marker, do you see it?"
Torchic nodded to indicate understanding.
"You have to keep sprinting at full speed, and pay attention to my instructions. I'll have you use Agility and Quick Attack," Tetsuya said with a mysterious smile.
Torchic curiously poked its little head around the entrance. Although it heard Tetsuya's words, it didn't take them to heart.
"Let's try it once first. You'll understand after one try."
Tetsuya looked at the naive Torchic, as if demons were surrounding him.
Torchic didn't feel the arrival of misfortune at all and was eager to start.
Tetsuya had already adjusted the launcher data, brought up Zero as a timer to collect information, and gave Torchic the command.
"Run!"
Torchic shot out like a sharp sword.
It easily dodged two wooden stakes blocking the middle of the path. Before Torchic could be happy, it encountered the first turn.
Just as it controlled its Agility-enhanced body to turn, Torchic saw a wooden stake constantly getting bigger and bigger in front of its eyes.
"Duang!"
The young body was bounced back by the reaction force and landed directly on the ground.
"Get up and keep sprinting," Tetsuya's indifferent voice sounded.
Torchic didn't hesitate either. It shook its dizzy little head and stood up to continue sprinting forward.
Next was a wooden stake with a tricky angle on the path, but it wasn't difficult for Torchic to dodge.
Just as Torchic was about to change its route to dodge the wooden stake, Tetsuya's voice sounded again.
"Use Quick Attack."
Torchic's little head told itself that if it used Quick Attack, it would definitely crash directly into it.
However, the trust and obedience to its Trainer engraved in its genes, as well as Tetsuya's education over these twenty days, made Torchic subconsciously use Quick Attack.
Tetsuya saw a faint light flash on Torchic's body, its speed suddenly increased, and it crashed into the wooden stake without hesitation.
"Beng~"
This time, Torchic's body was bounced back and rolled two times on the ground.
Before Tetsuya could speak, Torchic quickly stood up.
Although it looked impressive, it didn't actually cause much harm to Torchic's body. After all, Pokemon are not ordinary species.
Torchic just felt a bit embarrassed right now. It thought it would perform well in its first training session, but it didn't expect to stumble over this piece of wood repeatedly.
Next, aside from Tetsuya's commands, the training ground was filled with the sounds of Torchic colliding with the wooden stakes.
By the time Torchic arduously completed its first training session, dragging its dusty body across the finish line, eight minutes had already passed.
"Chirp." Torchic walked dejectedly towards its Trainer.
Torchic thought its Trainer would definitely criticize it severely for performing so poorly.
"You did great," Tetsuya said, using a towel to wipe Torchic.
"Chirp?" Torchic was a bit stunned, its body instinctively cooperating with Tetsuya.
"You really did well. This is your first training session, after all," Tetsuya said with a smile.
It wasn't that Tetsuya was saying something against his heart. According to Zero's detection and data, Torchic's first training completion time should have been around nine minutes.
But as Torchic progressed, its reactions also gradually sped up, shortening the time by a full minute.
This already surprised Tetsuya greatly, so he was sincerely praising Torchic.
Torchic felt that its Trainer wasn't deceiving it, and immediately turned from sadness to joy, flapping its little wings like fans.
"Chirp! Chirp~ Mo~"
Tetsuya looked at the little guy in front of him who was acting silly and couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Alright, let's continue training. We still have a long way to go today!"
Torchic chirped in response, completely unaware that this was just the beginning, and continued its training.
At first, with the simplest route and Tetsuya's commands, Torchic, although a bit disheveled, was still at ease.
As it became more proficient and its speed increased, along with Tetsuya activating the second difficulty level of the routes and the launcher, Torchic's nightmare began.
Not to mention that as soon as it finished one round, the next one started immediately.
Torchic just wanted to ask one question: Where is this? Is it hell?
