10 Self Control (1/2)

It's been a month since Saad left his town but walking around alone in the jungle with no one to keep him company, was still hard for him. He thought he would get used to it but it seems like he didn't. But thankfully he at least had his Pokemon with him.

Right now, Saad was sitting on a rock staring at his Pokemon who were dashing and jumping in front of him. Unlike the first time they wore weights, they seem a bit more energetic now. They were also slowly getting their normal speed back even under those weights.

Chimchar and Shinx who were training, saw their Trainer looking at them and smirked proudly.

Veins appeared on Saad's forehead after seeing their faces.

”Maybe I should increase the weights.”

Saad gave them a threatening look and turned his eyes on his lap, where a small Ralts was resting peacefully. Somehow seeing the relaxed look on his face made him more pissed. He raised him up by the small horn on his head and with a scary face said to the confused Pokemon,

”Why are you slacking off? Do you want to get left behind by those two?”

”Raltssss…..”, the terrified Pokemon shook his head.

”Then you better start training now.”, said Saad with an icy glare and pushed the poor creatures in the gates of hell.

...............….

After a few days of traveling and training, Saad decided to let his Pokemon take a rare breather and allow them to take a well-deserved rest. After removing their weights, the poor Pokemon were lying on the soft grass trying to catch their breath.

Saad looked at them and smiled. He took out a book from his back and started to read it. The book was about Pokemon Training. He bought it in Jubilife City because he heard that the author of the book wrote it for his son who had Chimchar as his starter Pokemon. The author in his days also had a Chimchar so, he decided to write a book with intentions of passing his experience to his son. After knowing this, Saad thought that it would be very useful for him too so, he bought it.

.

Saad started reading the book and after doing it for several minutes he paused at a particular section.

It explained about a skill Chimchar can use if trained properly. It was called Blaze. Saad knew of this technique as it was one of the most famous skills that a Pokemon can possess.
