Chapter 5 - Training (2/2)
”First of all, we need to raise your Physical stats. For 3 days we will do running in the morning to increase your speed and stamina. In the afternoon we will train some Physical moves like tackle and try to learn Horn attack. Then finally I will teach you to do meditation at night.” ”Nidoran”. Nidoran didn't have any clue what Axel was talking about but it was determined to get stronger. Seeing so much care that Axel was showing, it wanted to train even more. Axel wanted Nidoran to focus on speed, cause after it's final evolution, it will be very big and heavy. Nidoking is not a fast Pokemon. Axel wanted to remove this deficiency of Nidoran. As for meditation, every living being has Aura in their body including Pokemon. It is just that some Pokemon like Lucario is efficient in it. Training in Aura helps Pokemon to have a calm mind which is essential in battle. Even if Nidoran doesn't learn anything about Aura, meditation can help it to learn moves like focus punch and rest.
”We will run for 10 Km and after taking some rest we will do some exercise. Yes, I will also join you.” Said Axel. Then they both ran for 10 Km. After running for 5 minutes, ”Breathe from your nose, not your mouth”, ”Get in a good posture when you are running” , ”Nido!”. Axel taught it the dao of running that he had been doing his entire life. Halfway through, Nidoran was very tired and couldn't even move. It just fell on the ground. ”Come on Nidoran, if you can't even do this, how can you be the strongest Pokemon?.” ”NI..DO..RAN” said Nidoran feeling tired. It tried to stand up and after a few seconds, it did and then started to run. Nidoran had to take breaks once in a while for a few seconds to move again. After running about 9 Km, it couldn't move even if though it tried its best. So Axel just said it to walk to the destination instead of running. For the last 100 meters, Axel had to carry Nidoran to finish it up.
After stopping, it just closed its eyes to rest. ”Alright, you did a good job and didn't give up. Rest for 30 minutes and then we will do some other exercises.” Axel said to his partner.
After 2 days,
Axel and Nidoran were running in the forest doing their 10 Km run. Nidoran had improved exponentially. It still couldn't complete the run without taking rest but it didn't have to walk and be carried to reach the destination. Nidoran also practiced tackle on the tree and now it could do considerable damage to it. Tackle and Peck also leveled up to 2. Yes, Nidoran's moves could also level up. Axel had been training Nidoran on his speed and the way it should tackle it's opponent so that it could do good damage and not hurt itself in the process. Axel had also created a training session where Axel will throw rocks at Nidoran and the Pokemon had to dodge it. It would increase its reaction time and be very helpful in battle. Meditation has not shown any result as it has just been only 2 days.
While resting a bit, Axel asked ”Hey Nidoran, do you want a Nickname?” ”Nido..”
It was looking at Axel as if saying, 'I don't know. Why don't you decide?'. ”Okay, Mhmm.. I will call you Megalania. It is a mystical creature that has the most powerful poison ability. Of course, I will not call you that now. That name means something. So, you have to earn it. When I consider you to be the most powerful Poison pokemon than I will start calling you Megalania. Alright?” ”Nidoooran” it said excitedly.
After eating lunch, Nidoran started practicing tackle again. Practicing tackle raises its defense as it literally has to slam its body to a tree.

Ding! Nidoran's tackle has level up to 3.

After practicing Tackle for 3 hours, Tackle leveled up twice to 5 and peck leveled up to 3. ”Take rest now. We will do the dogging session after a while”. After practicing Dodging, they continued on their journey. Axel made the camp for the night and now Nidoran and Axel were Meditating.

Ding! Nidoran has started to learn Focus energy. (learned 20%)
——————————————————————————————————————————
”Ohh… that is some good news. This is the first move that Nidoran will learn by training. Focus Energy can be an OP move if used effectively. If Nidoran can use this move fast, then it could land a heavy hit. I will have to think about it” Axel thought. Meditation was hard. And after training for a whole day, when you close your eyes to meditate, what do you think will happen? You fall asleep obviously. Nidoran was facing the same problem. Axel had to hit it on head multiple times to wake up the damn creature.
After the training, it was time to eat. Nidoran's food looked different tonight and when he tasted the food, he was shocked!!!
