Eevee had already resigned itself to its fate.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan laughed heartily, this little Eevee was just too cute.
Cute yet pitiful, pitiful yet helpless, helpless yet weak.
Its Internet Addiction had flared up, and it was even screwing itself over.
"Actually, the training mission is very simple, mainly to have you learn two New Moves."
Fang Yuan began to explain in general terms.
...
Moves are very important to Pokémon.
Each time a Pokémon learns a New Move, it's a huge boost to its strength, more effective than basic stat training.
Take the Quick Attack Move as an example, after learning this move, Eevee's speed had a qualitative leap.
And how long would it take to achieve the same speed with normal basic training? Months, years?
Currently, Eevee's commonly used moves are Quick Attack, Double Team, Bite, and Sand Attack.
Quick Attack is already quite Proficient due to the Sand Scale Fruit, and its speed is good.
The understanding of Double Team also benefited from the Sand Scale Fruit, and this move can continue to be practiced.
Because Eevee's exploration of the Substitute move is based on studying Double Team, the two moves are related in a sense.
As for the Sand Attack and Bite moves, the former has become Mastery due to the Counter Shield training, and it is difficult to go further. As for the latter, Fang Yuan also plans to put it aside for the time being, mainly because Eevee's energy is limited. Compared to Bite, it is more meaningful to let it learn New Moves first.
The Bite move is too limited. Fang Yuan's best expectation is to replace Bite with Shadow Ball.
And whether he can learn Shadow Ball depends on how effective the New Star Plan he is participating in is!
So, Eevee's first training mission is to explore the Substitute move with Double Team. This process can be done indoors.
The second New Move to learn is Iron Tail.
As Pi Shen's other signature move, Iron Tail has derived many special uses in the anime. The most important point is that the training method of Iron Tail has been specifically shown in the anime.
First is the weight-bearing exercise of the tail, and then the striking exercise of the tail.
The strength and intensity of the tail are the prerequisites for determining whether a Pokémon can learn the Iron Tail move.
And it is estimated that it will take a long time for Eevee to achieve this prerequisite, because Eevee's tail really has no strength. Fang Yuan held it in his hand, soft and limp, like kneading cotton without any difference.
Even if Eevee whips it hard, it will at most dent the pillow...
Fang Yuan had already prepared for this training.
He had already selected suitable weight-bearing props and a Training Sandbag in the online Shopping Mall of Dawn Group.
At that time, put the two things in the Clubroom Classroom. The weight-bearing props are for Eevee's tail to do weight-bearing exercises, and the Sandbag is for the tail to do whipping exercises. Laying a good foundation in advance, understanding Iron Tail is only a matter of time. After practicing for a year and a half, this move should be learned anyway.
As for the price, the better quality props and Sandbag only cost less than 1,000 yuan, which is very affordable, and Fang Yuan can completely afford it.
As long as Eevee can learn one of the Substitute and Iron Tail moves, it will be enough to surprise Fang Yuan.
...
"Eevee is just over two months old, and is still in the foundation-laying stage, including learning Iron Tail..."
"These trainings, not only me and Eevee can do them, but others can also do them. Even if Eevee learns them, there is nothing advantageous about it."
"So, it's time to conceive a Move Manual exclusive to Eevee."
What truly reflects the strength of a Trainer? Calm judgment, decisive reaction, correct command, meticulous observation ability, profound knowledge, forward-looking vision, and strong psychological quality? All of these are correct, but they are not the most important.
These qualities can all be mastered through acquired training, and even if all of them are achieved, one can only be an Excellent commander at most.
For a powerful Trainer, breeding methods and Move Manuals are the key.
As everyone knows, there is a condition to becoming a Professional Trainer, that is, one must have a minimum of training experience, the so-called minimum being owning a self-created Advanced Move Manual.
And a Move Manual is a systematic summary of Trainer experience, including move teaching methods and move training methods.
Among them, the most basic requirement of an Advanced Move Manual is to allow a Pokémon to quickly learn and master a move in a short period of time, and derive more than two usages from this move.
It can be said that a Move Manual is the foundation of a powerful Trainer. It is not only the crystallization of their wisdom, but also a reflection of their true strength.
Like the previous Winter Dojo and Heavenly Heart Dojo, what they inherit is one or more Move Manuals.
What are people spending a lot of money to send their children to the Dojo to learn as apprentices? Command?
That would be a waste of money. What people want to learn is the breeding method inherited from the Dojo, and the move skills! Xu Lan and Xu Jing were only able to learn some of the superficial knowledge, and they were able to be so much stronger than their peers, which is enough to prove the preciousness of the Move Manual.
In fact, the Sand Attack Version of Counter Shield that Fang Yuan taught Eevee can also be regarded as a incomplete Move Manual.
Even Sand Attack, a move with no lethality, can become one of Eevee's trump cards in the Little Phoenix King Cup after being improved by the wisdom of the Trainer, so it is not difficult to see how important a Move Manual unique to the Trainer is.
Secondly, the most valuable thing about the so-called Move Manual is that it can be used on a class of Pokémon, which is undoubtedly a shortcut for a Trainer to cultivate Pokémon.
Some Trainers like to specialize in a certain attribute. Besides love, there are other reasons. They have already summarized a systematic Move Manual or breeding method for that attribute through a lot of experience. At this time, instead of getting involved in unknown fields, it is better to continue to study in the original field and develop this attribute to the extreme.
This may not be a way to become stronger.
Quick Attack, Bite, Double Team, Iron Tail...
Judging from these moves, even if Eevee learns all of them, it will not be much different from the Pokémon of other Rookie Trainers.
These moves cannot become Eevee's trump card like Counter Shield.
Fang Yuan is a Trainer who is unwilling to be left behind, so before Eevee lays a good foundation, that is, before graduating from high school, whether he can conceive a Move Manual of his own is very important to him, a grassroots Trainer.
He is trying to get closer to the path of a Professional in advance.
Just like the Sand Attack Version of Counter Shield, he wants to have more things that belong to him.
Only in this way can he stand out from the many ordinary Trainers.
Of course, these are also very difficult things for a Rookie Trainer. Now, what Fang Yuan can rely on are some secrets and secrets in his mind that are ahead of this world.
