Pokemon Master

Chapter 17: Black Forest



“You want to go to your hometown?”

At night, when Fang Yuan’s parents came home, Fang Yuan told them about his plans.

“Okay, your grandparents must be missing you too. They will cook for you, which will save you from ordering takeaways every day. Those things are not healthy.” Fang Yuan’s mother said.

“Yes,” Although Fang Yuan understands the truth, it still made him a little annoyed.

When Fang Yuan was in primary school, he moved from the countryside to the city. During his childhood, he lived in Nanwu town under Pingcheng, so he was familiar with it.

He remembered that there was a forest in his hometown where trees grew very close to each other and were hard. Perhaps because there was a secret realm fused in the past, the trees were much denser than normal.

That was the place Fang Yuan carefully selected for Eevee’s training.

Fang Yuan took the initiative to go back to his hometown, so Fang Yuan’s parents were happy to see this. The next day, Fang Yuan called his grandparents and told them about it.

Nanwu town was not far from Pingcheng, and it takes only an hour to reach by car, Fang Yuan and Eevee chose to take a bus, which takes a long time to reach, but they could use this time to watch movies.

Nanwu Town, one of the six towns under Pingcheng, started urbanization last year, but it was not complete and it was stopped shortly after due to a variety of factors.

Fang Yuan’s grandparents have already vacated a room for Fang Yuan and little Eevee at the house in their hometown. Although it was a little shabby, it was a place where he has lived since childhood, so Fang Yuan felt very amiable.

Moreover, the key point was that nothing was bad. There was the internet, air conditioner, almost the same as in the city. After a meal with his grandparent, in the afternoon Fang Yuan took out his laptop, which he brought from home. As for the daily necessities of his and Eevee’s as well as Eevee’s food and nutrition, he didn’t bring them completely because there were too many things and were heavy, so he could only get them after taking another trip.

Therefore, Fang Yuan planned to start special training with Eevee from tomorrow.

In the countryside, the old people get up early, but Fang Yuan said to himself that he and Eevee have determined to train hard, so they have to get up earlier. When they got up the next day, the whole Nanwu town was still quiet.

“Gururru..”

Feeling slightly sleepy, he stood in front of the sink and brushed his teeth. Fang Yaun’s eyes were not completely open. However, Eevee, who was on top of the washing machine not far from him, called out and urged Fang Yuan to be faster.

"It certainly must be thinking that ‘special training’  is as easy as ‘watching movies’, ‘playing in amusement park' and ‘building sandcastles.’"

Although Fang Yuan's eyes were still half-closed, his brain was very clear, he knew that Eevee would be going to face another difficult problem.

Persistence.

Even he himself had planned in the past many beautiful futures, and goals. However, behind the beautiful goals, it requires huge efforts which most people can’t stick to.

“The thing that should be done is to… let Eevee voluntarily stick to it. I don’t how much the hobbies I made it developed recently would play a role. ”

Black forest.

Not far from Nanwu town there was a forest that hasn’t been developed, it was named because of the dark environment inside it. Often the town adults would frighten children saying that if they are not obedient they would be thrown into the Balck forest to feed insects.

Some time ago, it was decided to build a tall building here. It was said that it was going to be a big project. There had been no Pokemon inhabiting the forest for a long time. Outside the forest, there was a large open area, which Fang Yuan thought was a very good training place. Maybe it was due to the countryside. In such a good place, there was no trainer training the pokemon, and it was very quiet.

“Moreover, compared with this kind of remote and quiet place, most people would like to go to public training grounds or lively places like training halls to train.”

Apart from that, it might also be due to this place being cut down. However, since the construction team has no intention to start the project, Fang Yuan doesn't mind using this place first.

Use it as long as you can.

"No wonder people don't want to come. The environment here is really depressing."

“Vee…” Little Eevee who was on Fang Yuan’s shoulder started to panic, the forest looked gloomy and didn’t look like a safe place at first sight….

“It’s all right, I've scouted this place when you were sleeping, there is no danger.” Fang Yuan was courageous, even if the environment inside was gloomy, he took time to wander around the peripheral area. And sure enough, just like the rumors, there was no living creature here.

In order for the reclamation of the land, the trees in the forest have been treated with insect repellent. Naturally, it was impossible for insect pokemon to inhabit here anymore. And without the insect pokemon, the flying pokemon would not come to this kind of barren palace.

In addition, the pokemon allowed by the trainer association to inhabit the human living areas were non-aggressive.

Therefore, before the official construction starts, Fang Yuan could take advantage of it. He wanted to use these trees to train Eevee’s body strength.

And fortunately, it was not far from the Nanwu Town Pokemon center. Nanwu town doesn’t have a trainers association branch, but there was a Pokemon center. However, the  Pokemon center here was much simpler than that in the city, both in terms of equipment and functions…

In terms of medical treatment, it was equivalent to a small clinic, which could only deal with simple colds, wounds, fatigue, etc.

However, this was enough for Fang Yuan and Eevee.

In the black forest, there were dense trees which was the reason for Fang Yuan choosing this place. Only such dense trees could better temper Eevee.

The special training was named stump training method by Fang Yuan. It's simple and rough, that was to let Eevee sprint back and forth with the fastest speed.

First, exercise explosive power.

Second, keep exercising for a long time.

Third, exercise movement speed and reaction speed.

Fourth, exercise the body's coordination ability. The intricate density of the tree trunk was a good obstacle.

Fifth, exercise physical strength, as long as the speed was fast enough, hitting the tree was inevitable, the impact of the counterforce could also hone the will of Eevee.

Before coming here, Fang Yuan had already told Eevee detailedly about the training content. Regarding the ‘back and forth sprint training’, Eevee looked down on it.

The little guy thinks this was not challenging at all.

After Fang Yuan drew a line, the little guy arrogantly came to the line and got ready.  In the dense forest, Fang Yuan had tied a red line. When Eevee reached the red line, it could come back.

Fang Yuan took out a wristwatch. With his shout, Eevee suddenly rushed out.

But….

When approaching the dense tree trunks, Fang Yuan could clearly feel that the little guy flinched. In order not to hit the tree trunk, it subconsciously slowed down, giving itself enough time to judge, before entering the dense forest. After entering, its speed was even slower…In this dense forest where every tree was closely intertwined with each other, as long as it was willing to speed up, it was inevitable to get hit with Eevee’s body shape. This was the best training place Fang Yuan could think of. If it was used properly it would not be worse than the equipment of those professional training centers.

After all, it could train multiple basic qualities at the same time.

"This guy…" By the time Eevee returned, the total distance of 400 meters, including the time it took him to avoid the maze of obstacles, took 133 seconds, which was more than two minutes and 11 seconds.

“Unqualified.”  as Eevee came back with lingering fears, Fang Yuan shouted helplessly.

“This is still without the use of moves. If you can't keep accelerating to full, you will not be able to control the Quick attack. Take a break for one minute, and we'll do it again. This time I'll run with you and supervise you throughout the way.”

Fang Yuan was not in a hurry. He plans to let Eevee adapt to a few laps and exercise his physical strength first.

However, the ultimate goal of this training method was not just to exercise physical strength…
