Because Shigeru chose to ride a bicycle, Sabrina also rode a mountain bike. However, Sabrina herself did not know how to ride a bicycle. Instead, she used her superpowers to keep the mountain bike stable, which meant she was riding with telekinesis.
Xiao Mao couldn't stand it anymore and suggested, "Naza, I think you can try to stay steady without using your psychic powers. Riding a bike isn't as difficult as you think."
"What if I fall?" This was the first time Sabrina had ever ridden a bike, so she dared not release her psychic powers.
“You said you wanted to be a qualified trainer, but you’re relying too much on your superpowers right now. I think if you want to become a qualified trainer, the first step is not to rely too much on your superpowers. You can ride slower, and if you’re about to fall, quickly brace yourself with your legs to keep your balance,” said Shigeru.
"let me try."
After releasing her telekinesis, Naz's ride was relatively smooth, but after a short while, when she reached a bumpy section of road, she immediately lost her balance. The bike tilted to one side, and in her nervousness, Naz forgot what Xiao Mao had said. Without extending her legs, she immediately used her telekinesis to stabilize her body and forcibly straighten herself.
“You can do it, and you can stabilize it with your telekinesis. It’s easy to learn,” Xiao Mao said.
"Ah."
Naz nodded, her competitive spirit rising, and continued riding. She wobbled along the way, but quickly got the hang of it.
Chapter 38: Teaching Naz
"Haha!" After mastering cycling, Nazi was like a child discovering a new continent, full of energy and riding non-stop.
Seeing Nazi's childlike innocence, Xiao Mao was speechless. How lonely must her childhood be? Even city kids know how to ride a bike.
"Naza, it's noon, time to rest."
Nazi continued cycling until noon; if Xiao Mao hadn't stopped her, she could have continued.
"it is good."
Despite her joy, Sabrina remained rational, releasing Mr. Mime to begin preparing lunch.
"Saria, rest for an hour after dinner, then have your Pokémon do a basic training session for an hour, followed by a half-hour rest before setting off," Gary said.
"Training in the wild again?" Naza asked doubtfully. She usually trained in the dojo and had never trained in the wild before.
"That's how travel is. Sometimes it takes several days to get to a city. Training can't be interrupted. Even if you can't do professional training while traveling, you still need to do some physical training to keep your Pokémon in good condition," said Gary.
"Do I need it too?" Naz asked.
“Of course we need it. Your Kadabra is too fragile. In yesterday’s battle with you, if you hadn’t used your psychic powers to help mitigate some of the damage, your Kadabra wouldn’t have been able to withstand Scizor’s combo attack,” Gary said.
Sabrina was a little embarrassed, not expecting that her use of superpowers during the battle would be discovered.
"Are you a superhuman too?" Sabrina asked.
“I’m not, but when you use your superpowers, you emit blue energy fluctuations, which anyone with eyes can see,” Xiao Mao said.
“That was because I was immature before, I won’t do that again,” Naz said.
“Then train Kadabra’s physical abilities properly and let it build up its own defenses with psychic powers. Any Pokémon can mobilize its internal energy for defense, but your Kadabra is very bad at this. It’s because you usually use your psychic powers to help it that it’s so unskilled,” Gary said.
"Oh."
Sabrina nodded obediently. She had only wanted to learn from Gary, and when she heard about training Pokémon, she behaved like a model student.
"Then let's make food for the elves together," said Xiao Mao.
"Isn't there a Mr. Mime?" Sabrina asked, puzzled. She had never cooked anything herself before.
"Mr. Mime is just an assistant. As a qualified trainer, you need to understand your Pokémon's preferences and adjust the energy cubes you feed them based on their condition. These are things that trainers need to adjust themselves."
Shigeru lectured, "You should at least come up with a complete plan before letting Mr. Mime do it."
“Isn’t the trainer’s job to just command the Pokémon in battle? Shouldn’t that be the breeder’s job?” Sabrina said.
"Being a trainer isn't as simple as you say. A trainer not only has to command their Pokémon in battle, but also raise their own Pokémon well. Every powerful trainer, while not necessarily an all-rounder in breeding, is absolutely professional in raising their own Pokémon, even more so than some breeding masters," Xiao Shi corrected.
"I never imagined that trainers had to do so much." This was the first time Sabrina had heard of such a thing. Usually, at the gym, it was the trainers who raised the Pokémon.
While the Pokémon at the Goldenrod Gym are indeed raised by trainers, Najun figured out the food recipes and training methods herself before handing them over to the trainers.
Moreover, the specially prepared Pokémon food is all made using a trainer's unique recipe.
For example, some breeding centers can house Pokémon that thrive because they have skilled breeders who can ensure their business continues to prosper.
Nazi was very obedient and followed Xiao Mao to learn how to formulate feed.
The recipe for Elf food is also very simple: a fixed portion of food, some berries, and four energy cubes, and each Elf has a different taste.
For example, Growlithe likes spicy food, Exeggutor and Kassadin like bitter food, Wartortle and Scyther like fishy food, and Zubat likes bloody food.
"What kind of fruit is this?" Sabrina looked at the food that Gary had prepared for Abra. There were some fruit she didn't recognize in it, and they were different from the fruit that the gym usually gave Abra.
"This is a Wood Berry. It can help Pokémon overcome confusion. Psychic-type Pokémon need to meditate for long periods of time and also need to train their mental strength, which can lead to mental confusion. Wood Berry can alleviate this condition," Gary explained.
After all, functional fruits like the Wood Fruit are used to make spray medicine, and few people would feed them to Pokémon. In fact, Pokémon can eat them, and they can also provide good assistance during training after eating.
"Oh."
Naz nodded, her face filled with a thirst for knowledge.
It must be said that Nazi is a student who is willing to attend classes and listen to lectures, and teachers usually like students like this.
After feeding the Pokémon lunch and resting for an hour, training began, with Sabrina observing how Gary trained the Pokémon.
Because it takes place in the wild, the training mainly focuses on physical fitness.
Casey is the only one who doesn't need to do physical training for the time being, but Shigeru still puts a strength mirror on Casey.
When a Pokémon wields the Power Mirror in the game, its Speed will be reduced by half, but its Special Attack EVs will double after a victory in battle.
In reality, the Power Mirror is a very special tool. It has little weight itself, but when you use your telekinesis to manipulate it, it feels very heavy.
Since Casey spends most of her time sleeping, it's not suitable for physical training at this time; the only thing that can be done is to use the strength mirror to train her mental strength.
"Why do I have to do strength training with my Yunjira?" Sabrina looked at Yunjira, who was panting as she ran, wearing a forced exercise machine, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Although Sabrina's skill level as a trainer is not high, she did choose Abra as her Pokémon, so she naturally knows what kind of Pokémon Abra is. This type of Pokémon is very fragile, and it is not very useful for training physical fitness.
“Kadabra isn’t Abra. Abra needs to sleep to build up its stamina, but Kadabra doesn’t need to sleep for long periods. It needs to have some close-range defense methods, otherwise what will it do when it encounters Dark-type Pokémon?” Gary said.
“Yongjira can wield the Eye of Miracles,” Sabrina said.
“I know, but does your Yundira know how?” Shigeru asked.
Sabrina shook her head; her Kayser had not awakened the Miracle Eye skill.
Chapter 39: Dual Evolution! Alakazam!
"So, your Kadabra needs to work on its physical fitness. Don't worry, this training won't take too long. Kadabra's physical growth is limited; it only needs one or two months of rigorous training," said Shigeru.
"Ah."
Sabrina nodded. Although she didn't think much of that close-combat ability, she was doing this for Yamcha's own good.
Sabrina can use her superpowers in regular battles, but using superpowers in official matches is against the rules.
"By the way, Sabrina, what superpower did you use to evolve Abra into Kadabra?" Gary suddenly asked.
Seeing Kadabra training, Gary looked at his own Abra. Abra was already level 20, which exceeded the evolution level requirement, so it should be able to evolve.
Xiao Mao hopes that Casey can evolve sooner so that he can train his physical strength in advance; otherwise, the later the plan is made, the less likely some training can be carried out.
“Cassie can actually evolve, as long as she wants to. I just used telepathy to tell Cassie to evolve,” Natsume said.
"is that so!"
Xiao Mao was startled and walked over to Casey, asking, "Casey, can you evolve?"
"grumble!"
Casey nodded slightly. It could evolve at any time, but it preferred to stay in its current state.
Shigeru was startled, worried that this Abra, like Ash's Bulbasaur, wouldn't want to evolve, which would be a huge loss, as Abra is not comparable to Bulbasaur.
Shigeru continued, "Casey, why don't you evolve?"
"Chirp." Casey transmitted a message telepathically, indicating that it wasn't that it didn't want to evolve, but that it hadn't received Sabrina's consent, so it hadn't evolved yet.
“Now that you’re my Pokémon, you don’t need to ask Sabrina’s opinion; you can evolve,” Gary said.
“Chirp…” Casey looked at Sabrina with some nervousness. Although Sabrina had given her Gary, Sabrina still held authority in Casey’s heart.
"Why are you looking at me? You're Little Groom's spirit now, you have to listen to him," Sabrina said coldly.
Casey felt hurt, as she felt completely abandoned by Sabrina. However, considering that Gary's attitude towards her was alright, it seemed that she could only gain Gary's attention by proving herself useful.
Although she had only been in contact with them for a short time, Casey had seen Gary's Pokémon, and they were all incredibly timid. If she hadn't been lazy, she would definitely have been ignored.
Thinking of this, Casey felt a surge of energy welling up inside her, activating every inch of her skin and cells, and her body shone with an incandescent light of evolution.
Casey grew taller and stronger. The white light dissipated, and Yunjira appeared holding a spoon. Yunjira was no longer sleepy; its eyes were bright and its tail had become thick and long.
"good."
Gary patted Kadabra on the shoulder and used his Eye of Insight to observe its attributes.
[Pokémon: Kadabra]
[Attribute: Super Power]
【Level: 20】
[Potential: Quasi-king]
[Characteristic: Mental Strength (Possesses a trained mind that does not flinch in the face of an opponent's attacks. Unwavering even intimidation.)]
[Skills: Teleportation, Telekinesis, Illusion Ray, Reflection Barrier, Miracle Eye.]
【Intimacy Level: 140 (Maximum 255)】
Abra evolved into Kadabra and awakened four moves at once, including Miracle Eye.
Sabrina's Ultron potential didn't even awaken this skill in Kadabra, she's really lucky.
However, the intimacy level only increased by 30 points. When she was still Casey, her intimacy level with Shigeru was already 110 points.
Normally, when a Pokémon evolves, its friendship level should increase by about 50 points. However, after Abra evolved, its friendship level only increased by 30 points. It seems that this is because Abra was previously raised by Sabrina.
However, 140 points of intimacy is not bad, enough to make Casey listen to Gary. We can slowly cultivate our relationship later, and it won't be long before we reach the maximum level.
"Saria, when do you plan to evolve Kadabra into Alakazam?" Gary asked.
"Are you planning to evolve Kadabra so soon?"
