Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

However, there is also a Zero, and the development of the Torch is far superior to that of its kind. The data built into the Devon Corporation is not very accurate, so it needs to be adjusted by the user.

After Tetsuya adjusted the data and confirmed the values, he signaled to Torchic that they could begin.

The turkey stretched its body, didn't feel anything wrong, just a little heavier, and then ran around happily.

Tetsuya told Pidgeot, who was standing to the side, to follow and keep an eye on Torchic, while he himself swung leisurely behind without any hurry.

The turkeys are growing so fast now simply because they are developing well and have plenty of energy. They'll soon suffer the consequences.

Tetsuya ran at his own pace, and soon he saw Torchic's figure.

At this point, the turkey began to sense something was wrong. It started panting heavily, and its clothes seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

The turkey had never imagined that running could be so tiring; its legs were starting to go numb.

Tetsuya chuckled inwardly as he watched the Torchic chick begin to slow down.

To make you, little one, care less about the weight, the advanced technology in Devon weighted clothing is not that simple.

It looks no different from ordinary clothes, but it is actually a portable weight-bearing chamber, similar to a gravity field, which can be used for all-round training, including the internal organs of the body, and different parts are adjusted according to the focus.

It's important to know that the weight data provided by Zero wasn't given arbitrarily. It was based on Torchic's physical condition and limits, aiming to maximize the training effect without causing physical harm.

Tetsuya checked the data; it was a little over three kilometers. He estimated that Torchic's stamina was just about enough to barely complete the goal.

Zhe followed the turkey at a leisurely pace, encouraging it.

"Keep it up, Torchic! Pay attention to coordinating your breathing and footwork."

Torchic listened to its trainer's voice, gritted its teeth, and nodded.

Torchic slowed its breathing, adjusted its pace, and began running alongside its trainer.

.......

Back in his backyard, Tetsuya stopped and took a deep breath. For him, this was just a normal warm-up, and Torchic's speed wasn't fast for the time being.

"Cha...Chamo!"

But turkeys are different.

As soon as Tetsuya stopped, Torchic immediately plopped down in a disheveled state, panting heavily, its feathers ruffled by its sweat.

Even the Fire-type Pokémon's natural ability to dry out is no longer effective, so you can imagine how tired Torchic must be.

Tetsuya helped Torchic remove its weighted suit and let Torchic sit on the ground to rest for a while.

After all, elves and humans have different physical constitutions, and elves don't need to rest for a while after exercise like humans do.

After feeding it some orange juice, the turkey regained some of its strength in about half a minute.

Tetsuya moved a chair over, placed Torchic on his lap, and began to give Torchic a simple post-workout massage using the massage method given by Zero.

This is Zero's method for restoring and stimulating the growth of Pokémon based on various data and information. Each stage of training is followed by a corresponding massage technique.

Torchic was still exhausted, but after being massaged by its trainer, its whole body relaxed.

My legs, which were sore just now, have gradually recovered.

With Tetsuya's careful massage techniques and appropriate pressure, Torchic felt extremely comfortable.

"Cha~!"

The little guy let out an extremely cheerful cry, indicating that his trainer had done a good job.

Chapter 18 Torchic: Where is this, hell?

Zhe chuckled and patted the little guy's head, but the massage continued.

After massaging for about twenty minutes, Tetsuya finally stopped.

"Alright little guy, you've rested enough. Let's start the next training session."

The turkey reluctantly jumped down.

After spending twenty days together, it clearly understood when its trainer was joking with it and when its commands were mandatory.

Besides, the turkeys are happy to train and get stronger. Although it's tough, they also get comfortable massages and delicious food.

"The training you're about to do is right there."

Tetsuya pointed to the already paved area, which was the somewhat strange-looking back garden.

The entire back garden now resembles the Wooden Dummy Alley of Shaolin Temple in Tetsuya's past life, only with some differences.

Most of the area was covered by white netting, and in the middle of the netting were rows of wooden stakes at irregular intervals, which formed several roads. At the same time, wooden stakes would often suddenly appear and stand upright in the middle of the roads.

These obstacles were set up by Tetsuya in conjunction with Zero's plan; the distance between each stake was precisely measured.

From the starting point to the finish line, it will get closer and closer to the various limits of Torchic.

The fixed route consists of three paths, with the difficulty increasing sequentially.

Furthermore, Torchic can then be asked to follow the route prescribed by Tetsuya, leading to a continuous change in difficulty and forcing Torchic to further hone its reflexes.

Then, more than ten small instruments were set up on both sides of the wooden stake array. These instruments functioned similarly to tennis ball launchers and could launch matching bouncy balls from their launch ports.

The firing rate of the instrument, the hardness of the bouncy ball, and the speed of the bouncy ball after firing are all adjustable.

Its main purpose is to disrupt the speed at which the Torchlings pass through the wooden stake array.

The orientation was also precisely calculated by Zero and matched with different routes to give the turkeys the most perfect training.

Viewed from directly above, the overall design might resemble a Bagua diagram—chaotic yet aesthetically pleasing.

Tetsuya smiled as he looked at Torchic. You should know that Tetsuya had spent 150 million yen on this equipment. The salesman at Devon Corporation was dumbfounded when he saw how many transmitters Tetsuya had bought.

For most trainees, having one is already considered extravagant, and two or three is considered strong. Tetsuya, however, prepared a full twelve, along with matching weighted clothing.

After all, normal trainers don't have a Zero, so giving him twelve would be redundant, but Tetsuya is different.

Tetsuya can maximize the use of these training equipment through Zero.

The turkey looked at the strange training ground and didn't know how to train.

Tetsuya led the Torchic to the entrance of the wooden stake formation and pointed it out to it.

Each wooden stake was marked with a different colored sequential marker. Tetsuya said, "What you need to do today is to follow the path formed by these green-marked stakes, see?"

The turkey nodded in understanding.

"Keep sprinting forward at full speed, and pay attention to my instructions. I'll let you use High Speed ​​Strike and Quick Attack." Tetsuya had a mysterious smile on his lips.

The turkey curiously peeked its little head out from the entrance. Although it listened to Tetsuya's words, it didn't take them to heart.

"Let's try it once, and you'll understand."

Tetsuya looked at the bewildered Torchic, as if demons were surrounding him.

The turkey was completely oblivious to the impending misfortune and eagerly prepared to set off.

Tetsuya had already finished adjusting the transmitter's data, set up Zero as a timer to collect information, and issued instructions to Torchic.

"run!"

The turkey darted out like a sharp sword.

Having easily dodged two wooden stakes blocking the road, the turkey hadn't even had time to be happy before it faced its first turn.

Just as Torchic managed to turn its rapidly moving body, it saw a wooden stake growing larger and larger in front of it.

"duang!"

The small body was thrown directly to the ground by the recoil.

"Get up and keep sprinting," Tetsuya's indifferent voice rang out.

Without hesitation, Torchic shook its dizzy little head, stood up, and continued its charge forward.

Next, there's a wooden stake at a tricky angle on the road, but it's not difficult for the turkey to avoid.

Just as Torchic was about to change course to avoid the wooden stake, Tetsuya's voice rang out again.

"Use Lightning Flash."

The turkey's little brain told it that after using Quick Attack, it would definitely crash into it.

However, due to the trust and obedience to its trainer ingrained in its genes, as well as Tetsuya's twenty days of training, Torchic instinctively used Quick Attack.

Zhe then saw a faint light flash across the Torchic's body, and its speed suddenly increased, crashing into the wooden stake without hesitation.

"Beng~"

This time, the Torchic's body was bounced back and rolled twice on the ground.

Before Tetsuya could speak, Torchic quickly stood up.

Although it looks powerful, it doesn't actually do much damage to Torchic's body, after all, Pokémon are not ordinary species.

Torchic is just feeling a bit embarrassed right now. He thought he could do well in his first training session, but he didn't expect to stumble on this piece of wood one after another.

Next, the only sounds in the training field besides Tetsuya's commands were the various noises of Torchic hitting wooden stakes.

By the time Torchic finished its arduous first training session and dragged its dusty body out of the finish line, eight minutes had passed.

"Sigh." Torchic walked dejectedly toward its trainer.

Torchic thinks its trainer will definitely give it a good scolding for such a poor performance.

"Well done." Tetsuya wiped the turkey with a towel.

"Cheers?" Torchic was a little stunned, its body subconsciously responding to Tetsuya.

"That's really good, considering this is your first training session," Tetsuya said with a smile.

It's not that Tetsuya is lying; according to Zero's tests and data, Torchic's first training session should have taken about nine minutes.

However, the Torchic's reactions gradually accelerated as the game progressed, shortening the time by a full minute.

This already surprised Tetsuya quite a bit, so he was genuinely praising Torchic.

Torchic realized that its trainer had not lied to it, and immediately went from sadness to joy, flapping its little wings.

"Cha! Cha~mo~"

Tetsuya looked at the silly little guy in front of him and felt helpless.

"Alright, let's continue training. We still have a long way to go to achieve our goals today!"

The turkey responded with a squawk, completely unaware that this was just the beginning, and continued its training.

With the simplest route at the beginning and Tetsuya's command, Torchic, though a bit disheveled, was still in good hands.

As Tetsuya gains more skill and speed, and with the activation of the second difficulty level's circuits and transmitters, Torchic's nightmare begins.

Not to mention that as soon as you finish running, the next round starts immediately.

The turkey just wants to ask one question: Where is this, hell?

Chapter 19 Training and Benefits

But this was only part of the training program; the little turkey had no idea that the real hell was yet to come.

After that, a series of training exercises await Torchic, including weighted leg kicks, weighted squats, and fire-type energy gathering.

Torchic thought it was finally free after finishing its reaction training, but it was devastated when it heard its trainer's plans.

This is truly hell; my trainer is a demon king.

...........

sunset.

After a long day of training, the turkey and Pidgeot were enjoying their hard-earned meal at the dining table.

The turkeys devoured food voraciously, as if trying to mask the hardships of training with delicious food.

Tetsuya sat to one side, elegantly eating the food he had cooked.

Tetsuya calculated that, based on the amount of materials consumed by the two Pokémon each day, the materials he had pre-ordered could last for more than two months of training.

However, considering the increased food intake and evolution of Torchic, I estimate that I will need to prepare to buy some more things in about seven weeks.

Thinking of this, Tetsuya was amazed by Torchic's high aptitude and rapid progress, which completely exceeded his data analysis.
