Steport City.
Flipping through the book "Analysis of Sound-Based Moves," Torii stretched nguidly. After Swablu joined his team, Master Suzu brought him to Steport City, and temporarily arranged for him to stay at a hotel. Then, he said he had some things to take care of and hurriedly left, telling him to wait for news regarding his enrollment in Coronet Academy.
Torii wasn't in a hurry. As the location of the Breeder's Association headquarters, Steport City had the rgest library in the Hoenn region, with countless knowledge about Pokémon. As a Beginner Breeder, Torii was qualified to borrow some materials.
Now that the Breeder exam had been settled and he had both Beautifly and Swablu, and with his future journey initially set at Coronet Academy, Torii began to prepare for his future development.
Nurturing Beautifly and Swablu well was Torii's most important task right now, and it also id the foundation for the Grand Festival.
Beautifly.
Main Moves: Silver Wind, Absorb, String Shot, Air Cutter
Support Moves: Gust, Tailwind, Silk Trap, Morning Sun, Stun Spore
Moves Abandoned: Tackle, Poison Sting, Bug Bite
Tackle, Poison Sting, and Bug Bite were Beautifly's main moves before evolution. Not to mention Tackle, Poison Sting used a medium to release toxins from the body and cause harm to the opponent. Beautifly's toxins weren't fatal, belonging to weaker toxins, and the form of the move was also difficult to successfully perform. So after reaching a certain point, Torii had Beautifly give up practicing this move, and didn't intend to use it as a regur move.
And Bug Bite was the way Wurmple mainly fed, in conjunction with Absorb, whether it was Berries or pnts. Through Bug Bite, Beautifly could absorb the nutrients well. As for using it as an attacking move, the form of "Bug Bite" was also difficult to exert too much effect, with too many restrictions, so Torii also chose to exclude this move.
Gust was used by fpping its wings to attack the opponent with a whirlwind. Because of Beautifly's innate racial problem, this move couldn't exert too much power. Torii used Gust as a support move, coordinating with Tailwind to enhance Beautifly's flight agility and speed.
Silver Wind could be considered an enhanced version of Gust. In terms of power, because it was mixed with scales, it was a disguised attribute of wind cutting, making the whirlwind sharper. However, Torii preferred to have Beautifly use Stun Spore mixed with Silver Wind. In this way, there were more choices in tactical application.
String Shot, Beautifly's first move from the beginning, was also the only basic move that Torii hadn't abandoned. Many of Beautifly's moves were built on String Shot. The role of String Shot couldn't be ignored. Whether it was using silk threads to entangle the opponent to absorb their stamina, or using the nature change of Stun Spore to create an electric web, it was necessary to use String Shot as a carrier.
Air Cutter was Beautifly's further control of the "wind." Without pursuing range, it could be more condensed to gather the power of the wind together and attack in the form of a bde. In actual combat, it should currently be Beautifly's most powerful move.
Currently, the training task that Torii had arranged for Beautifly, benefited from the move Morning Sun. Morning Sun was also an extremely difficult move for Beautifly to comprehend. It couldn't be said to be day and night, but it also required the Pokémon to have at least a minimum affinity for sunlight to be successfully performed. It was rare for a Trainer to spend several months taking a Pokémon to persistently sense the sun's energy, but now Beautifly had mastered it skillfully. Even on cloudy days, it could initially sense the sun's energy and restore its stamina.
Torii had an idea, hoping that Beautifly could use the Absorb move not only to absorb other Pokémon's stamina or nutrients, but also to use its own moves to plunder nutrients from the "sunlight." But it was easier said than done. It was difficult to perform. This belonged to the use of a combined move. If it wasn't after years of training, it would be difficult to do. It wasn't as simple as mixing Stun Spore and scales in the wind.
Whether it was Absorb, Mega Drain, or Giga Drain of the Beautifly family, they were all performed through silk threads or Bug Bite. Wanting to absorb the sun's energy out of thin air, and using Morning Sun for high-intensity stamina recovery, was a different kind of "photosynthesis," a way of restoring stamina exclusive to Grass-type Pokémon.
As an Insect-type and Flying-type Pokémon, Beautifly had no way to learn Photosynthesis at all.
What's more, even under the same weather conditions, different Grass-type Pokémon's perception of sor energy would also affect the amount of stamina recovery. Grass-type Pokémon had a natural advantage in using sunlight. Even if the Morning Sun move was theoretically the same as the effect of Photosynthesis, it would not restore stamina as quickly or as much in Beautifly's hands as Photosynthesis would for a Grass-type Pokémon.
Therefore, Beautifly's current main task was to continue to strengthen its own perception of air currents, and strive to adapt to air currents under any circumstances, and use air currents to create a favorable battle situation for itself.
Secondly, train the cooperation of Absorb and Morning Sun. Although Beautifly couldn't learn Photosynthesis, it could learn Sor Beam. If, when accumuting sor energy, it didn't choose to unch it as a move, but instead converted it into stamina, it would seem to have the same effect as Photosynthesis, and it was also necessary to strive to maximize the proficiency of the Absorb move, so that this move that Torii didn't pay much attention to, would further improve to Mega Drain, and strive to become Giga Drain.
The key point of this concept was that Beautifly's Morning Sun didn't have the same high affinity, utilization rate, and attraction to sor energy as Photosynthesis. Therefore, integrating the Absorb move into it to plunder sor nutrients in the shortest time was the most important step.
For the other moves, everything would be done as usual, and pced in the third tier of training.
As long as he continued to train according to this pn, if successful, Beautifly would definitely be able to form its own battle style through hard work, and exert excellent strength with a not outstanding race.
Compared to Beautifly, Swablu's training tasks were much simpler.
Because it had just entered adulthood, there weren't many moves that needed to be trained. Torii mainly pnned it in three aspects.
Tempering of Sound: Taking Cry, Scary Face, and Sing as the core, and even the initial use of sound as a carrier for sonic attacks in the future, to carry out the tempering of sound, this requires a lot of training experience and props, and even reted nutrient-rich foods to carry out. It is also a long-term job. Torii will distribute it throughout Swablu's growth process.
Quick Attack. Torii requires Swablu to control it perfectly. This only needs to be trained step by step, which is retively easy.
Feather Dance and Cotton Guard. These two moves will automatically increase in heat as Swablu grows. Torii only needs to make sure that Swablu doesn't waste practice. The most important thing is still the extremely headache-inducing problem of nutrient-rich foods.
Moves such as Peck and Fury Attack, after reaching a certain point, Torii would take the initiative to have Swablu give up and not do main training anymore.
Dragon Breath, Dragon Rush. For these two moves, the former is Swablu's current strongest attack method, and the tter cannot be used as a regur move because it is too difficult to use. This made Torii very embarrassed. In addition to normal growth, Torii couldn't think of a way to quickly help Swablu master Dragon Rush for a while. After thinking about it, Torii decided to go to the library to check some information before talking about it.
Having made up his mind, Torii put on his clothes, took his documents, and prepared to leave. He hung Swablu's and Beautifly's Poké Balls around his waist, and Torii left the hotel.
"Which library should I go to... As expected of a pce with a Breeder Association, there are several libraries just built in Steport City, and most of the first floors can be read for free as long as you have a Steport City household registration." Torii sighed in his heart. A Steport City household registration wasn't so easy to get. Generally, families living in Steport City were also very wealthy, at least having the capital to support a Trainer. Unlike Petalburg City, it wouldn't produce a good Trainer for several years.
"Let's go to the "Breeder's Home" library!"
After thinking about it, Torii aimed in one direction. The 'Breeder's Home' could be considered the rgest library in Steport City, belonging to the Breeder's Association, with extremely high authority and precision, and containing the richest types. Considering that his Breeder qualification certificate could only be used in a limited number of pces, Torii finally chose here.
Constantly fshing through the growth pns of Beautifly and Swablu in his mind, Torii was walking on the road, not paying attention to a dark shadow coming towards him.
"Get out of the way—"
As an urgent voice came, Torii then felt that he had been hit by something and almost fell to the ground.
