My Pokémon Training Method is Definitely Not Normal!

Returning to the Pokemon Center, Marcus finally picked up the photo Nessa gave him to study.

The terrain in the photo was relatively easy to identify. Based on Mt. Coronet in the distance, he could pinpoint the location, which was likely on a cliff edge in the western sea area.

Pokemon like Braviary have been respected by people since ancient times, all stemming from their united, brave, and fearless personalities.

They will fight for their companions regardless of danger, never giving up the fight no matter how severely injured they are, and they take pride in this.

The more injuries a Braviary has on its front, the braver it is considered, and the more respected it will be by its companions. Those with more injuries on their back will be looked down upon in the group.

Therefore, they are also called the Warriors of the Sky by people.

In their youth, newly hatched Rufflet are forcibly thrown off cliffs by their parents to hone their superb flying abilities. Even if they are covered in injuries, their parents show no mercy.

If the young show cowardice, they will be ruthlessly abandoned.

This is the unique upbringing method of this species, and valuing bravery is even more their nature.

Flying type comes with 3 advantageous attributes: Bug, Grass, and Fighting. Adding the Fighting type gained by Lopunny after Mega Evolution and the Ghost type of Hisuian Zoroark, he can assemble a team of 6 Pokemon with not entirely identical attributes and a coverage of over 12 types, which just meets the System's mission requirements.

"Then, you'll be the sixth one!" Marcus smiled slightly, deciding to set off in a couple of days.

First, he would go to Eterna City to get the second badge, and then head to the coast; it was right on the way.

In the following days, Marcus only completed the daily feeding and training, and did not go to the Battle Facility again.

After all, his team was not yet complete. Getting promoted to the Silver rank prematurely would prevent him from battling due to not having 6 Pokemon.

It would be better to challenge Gyms first, build popularity on PokeGram, and then challenge the Battle Facility.

The plot development in the following days was also similar to the original work. Even though Pika God had unleashed a monstrous thunderclap after bursting with power, he still couldn't defeat Roark. Ash's first challenge to the Oreburgh Gym ended in failure, and he could only undergo special training in the coal mine.

During this period, Marcus also had the honor of meeting the true protagonists—Team Rocket trio, Jessie, James, and Meowth.

The three of them ambushed the Oreburgh Museum, attempting to steal the fossil revival machine, but instead destroyed the original ancient ecosystem, causing a large number of ancient Pokemon to riot.

Ultimately, the riot was quelled only after Roark's Cranidos evolved into Rampardos.

To make Indeedee battle-ready as soon as possible, Marcus and Ash began paired special training.

During the special training, he learned a spinning technique.

By rotating the body to reduce the impact of collisions, it achieves the effect of avoiding damage and stabilizing the center of gravity.

In the original work, Ash won against the Oreburgh Gym using this method.

In fact, the principle of this move is relatively simple: it uses the conservation of angular momentum to stabilize posture, thereby gaining the upper hand in battle.

However, only Marcus's Lopunny was suitable for this technique. After all, Dolliv and Indeedee are special attack-type powerhouses, and learning it wouldn't have much effect.

It's worth mentioning that Paul sent out Ursaring and his evolved Electabuzz and actually won against the Oreburgh Gym in a 2v3 battle. After agreeing to battle Marcus next time, he left Oreburgh City early.

In three days, Indeedee also successfully grew to level 5, officially leaving its infancy and gaining some battle capability.

Marcus said goodbye to Ash and the other two, and set off on his journey alone.

After a brief period together, Marcus had basically understood Ash's training style and travel pace.

It can be said that Ash during this period was creative, but still far from the World Championships Champion of the later Journeys era.

If Marcus's goal was just to participate in the Pokemon League Conference and achieve a good ranking, following the rhythm of the original work might be fine.

But with the help of the System, the battle power in his hands had grown rapidly. If he still traveled slowly, it would only waste time and squander his partners' talents.

Mounting his bicycle, Marcus rode across the fields. Beside him, Lopunny, carrying an Iron Ball, ran continuously. Its soft, cute big ears paired with defined, slender legs made it look both cute and elegant.

In the bike basket, Indeedee floated slightly, practicing Psychic through Calm Mind. Her cute little face was full of seriousness.

On the back seat, Dolliv continuously hummed the melody of 'Sunny Day'. The lush flowers and grass along the way spread rapidly, the emerald green radiance painting a picture of a forest fairy...

Five days later, Marcus cycled to Route 206, west of Mt. Coronet.

"Phew... It's really hot..." Marcus parked his bicycle by the roadside, took out a bottle of water, and gulped it down.

These past few days, he had traveled north all the way, covering hundreds of kilometers. In the distance, he could vaguely see an ancient city surrounded by mountains, which was the historically significant Eterna City.

"We'll be there in half a day. You guys need to get ready for battle~" Marcus rubbed Lopunny's head.

A pair of fair little hands held a handkerchief, gently wiping away his sweat.

"Thanks, Indeedee~"

As time passed, Indeedee's caring nature also began to show.

Now her height had reached nearly one meter, and her level had risen to 16.

With the help of her Psychic power, Marcus's life was now countless times more convenient...

For meals, Indeedee could directly mimic instructional videos; for training, Indeedee would also help record the conditions of her two older sisters for Marcus's reference; in the Dream Space, she could even play games with Lopunny and Dolliv to optimize their move pools...

She even prepared Marcus's foot-washing water every night, and even offered to help with wiping after using the toilet, if Marcus hadn't refused...

It could only be said that besides the most basic life activities, Indeedee handled everything else...

Of course, Marcus would not overly rely on her. After all, the bond with a Pokemon is built by experiencing each other's growth.

Taking out a few Gorgeous Primary Pokeblocks and Moomoo Milk to feed his three Pokemon, Marcus called the Petalburg Gym.

He wanted to ask Norman how the search for Slakoth, which he had entrusted him with, was going.

"Marcus, you finally called! I was just about to contact you..." Norman said excitedly in the video.

"Ah? Norman-sensei, what is it?"

"Huh? You brat did such a big thing and you're still playing dumb with me here? You're hiding something from your teacher, aren't you?"

Marcus couldn't help but laugh and cry: "No, Sensei, what did I hide?"

"Oh, right, you've been out in the wild these past two days, it's normal you haven't heard... Remember the video of your Oreburgh Gym battle? Because of that one Gym battle, the Pokemon League directly changed the Gym challenge system..." Norman explained the whole matter in a few words.

A day ago, the major Pokemon Leagues jointly issued the latest announcement.

In all Gym challenges, the rule prohibiting Gym Leaders from switching Pokemon was abolished, replaced by the opportunity to switch Pokemon once.

And the cause of all this was the video of Marcus challenging the Oreburgh Gym...

New Trainer! 2v3! Sweep! Over-leveled! Complete Victory!

Any single word spoken would be shocking enough... yet now they were put together...

"I heard that Sinnoh Champion Cynthia personally approved this matter. You brat really did me proud, hahahaha..." Norman said, bursting into laughter:

"Let me tell you, Adam, that guy, always brags to me about his disciple Wallace. Now I finally have something to say..."

Juan, the former Sootopolis City Gym Leader in the Hoenn region, whose disciple Wallace is a Master Coordinator, is said to possess Champion-level strength. Wallace is also a good friend of Hoenn Champion Steven.

"Uh... is that so..." Marcus twitched the corner of his mouth.

'Why am I targeted?!'

'I still wanted to exploit the bug and get a few more badges...'
