The Path of a Genius to Becoming a Pokémon Champion

After having a breakthrough with Aaron, Arthur began training with him that very afternoon.

Long before today, Aaron had heard from others at the base that Arthur's training methods were hardcore, but seeing it for himself, he was still completely shocked.

"Don't be so gentle!! There's no need for so much warmth during training! And for the love of Arceus, put down your thermos!"

The moment he entered his training state, Arthur instantly tore off his innocent disguise and revealed his true, demonic face!

Even though he had transmigrated to a peaceful era, Arthur's training style still followed the methods of the combat units from his past life.

This one shout startled Aaron, and he subconsciously and quickly put down his "main body."

Only after putting it down did he realize something was wrong.

Wait a minute, didn't we agree to train together? How did I become the one being trained?

But Arthur paid this no mind.

"You don't need to show your affection for your Pokémon during training! That will only encourage their laziness! Just now, your Inteleon clearly made a mistake in its evasion practice. Why didn't you point it out and reprimand it?"

Aaron was completely overwhelmed by Arthur's presence, unable to utter a word.

"If the training doesn't meet the standard, there must be punishment! Warmth and care have no place here! Do you think getting stronger is that easy?! Go! Punish Inteleon! Make it practice for another hour!"

Arthur commanded coldly, which made the Inteleon on the field a bit angry.

Hey! You're not my trainer! What gives you the right to—

But just as it was about to express its dissatisfaction, Greninja, who was practicing alongside it, quickly and deftly rushed over, tripped it, and pinned it to the ground.

"Calm down! Don't do anything stupid! I'm saving you, trust me!" Greninja quickly whispered into Inteleon's ear.

Inteleon was skeptical.

But it also knew that it had indeed made a mistake in its practice just now. After being pinned, it struggled symbolically a couple of times and then gave in.

"Tch, I'm only letting this slide for your sake. Don't get the wrong idea," Inteleon said to Greninja with a huff after getting up, not forgetting to act proud.

To this, Greninja just nodded silently, saying nothing more.

Because he believed that this silly kid would soon understand his good intentions.

Sure enough, during the subsequent training, Arthur also had a light spar with Aaron's ace, Garchomp.

When Inteleon saw Arthur effortlessly sidestep and weave to dodge Garchomp's claw attacks, then close the distance with a single step and send the charging Garchomp stumbling back five steps to sit on the ground with a single punch, Inteleon's jaw dropped into a perfect "O."

Aaron's Garchomp was over two and a half meters tall and weighed over two hundred kilograms!

To knock back a Garchomp like that with a single punch from a standing start—that punch had to be worth a Mega Punch, at least.

Inteleon looked at the muscular Garchomp on the field, then looked at its own slender arms and legs, and its waist, which wasn't even as thick as Garchomp's thigh. It couldn't help but shiver.

What was even more terrifying was that after knocking back Garchomp with one punch, Arthur could calmly retract his fist and offer a nonchalant critique: "Your movements are quite clean, but once you start attacking continuously, you subconsciously neglect your defense. Same problem as that good-for-nothing Charizard of mine."

Sitting on the sidelines, Old Flame's daughter snorted a puff of sparks in dissatisfaction and turned her head away, but she couldn't refute him.

This made Inteleon tremble even more.

Wait, you've beaten up a Charizard too?!

After an afternoon of training, at dinnertime, Greninja was surprised to see Inteleon actively seek it out, even generously offering to share a precious can of tuna.

"Thanks for saving my life!"

Inteleon thanked Greninja solemnly, which made Greninja chuckle.

While savoring the delicious tuna, Greninja, in return, imparted some of its life wisdom to its new friend.

"Playtime is playtime, but you can never joke around with training!"

At first, Inteleon didn't pay much attention.

"Let me tell you, I usually train very hard too. Today was just an accident."

Greninja just looked at it, smiling without a word.

Arthur's standards for training went far beyond just "hard work."

Inteleon's understanding was still lacking.

But Greninja wasn't in a hurry.

He had a feeling this little buddy still had a lot of valuable canned goods hidden away.

If he waited a bit longer, there might be more to gain.

Slurp~

During the off-season, Arthur's daily schedule was very regular.

In the early morning, he would go for a run with Justin, Kevin, and the newly recruited Aaron. In the morning, he would guide the training of the doubles division. In the afternoon, he would train and spar with Aaron.

It wasn't until the evening that he would take Old Flame's daughter to attend one of the instructors' skill classes at the base. The rest of the time, he rarely bothered the club's instructors.

As time went on, Aaron's Pokémon's understanding of the word "training" underwent a seismic shift!

They had originally been looking forward to their master waking up and shedding his listless, slacker attitude.

They had no lack of self-motivation when it came to training.

But they never would have imagined that when their master was finally "redeemed," what awaited them would be such a terrifying sight!

"This… aren't you being a bit too harsh?"

After a few days, even Aaron himself couldn't bear to watch anymore.

But then, Arthur turned and stared at him.

"Training allows for no sloppiness! Also, I think your mentality as a trainer needs to be honed as well. Your commands are precise, but they lack presence. Why don't you come and train with me—"

"No, thank you!!"

Aaron quickly refused before he could even finish, shaking his head like a rattle.

"I haven't even said what we'd be training."

"Whatever it is, I don't need it. I think things are fine as they are. Why don't we have another spar?"

Aaron quickly changed the subject, even proactively putting down his thermos.

"Fine."

Arthur didn't insist.

And in the corner, Inteleon, who had been squeezed dry (of its stamina), was once again scared into trembling.

This human is terrifying! He won't even spare our master!

That evening, for the nth time, it went to find Greninja to share its treasured canned goods.

Greninja ate happily, a satisfied smile on its face.

This little brother really knows how to get on my good side.

It's just that his spirit is a bit fragile. Even after so many days, he's still so jumpy. It's making him feel a bit embarrassed for getting so many free cans.

Sigh, back in my day, it only took me three, four… seven or eight days of being beaten up to get used to it.

You guys are still not there yet!

Greninja commented with the calm demeanor of a veteran frog, which left Inteleon completely shocked.

What the hell! You guys actually got used to it?!
