“Kirlia! (Wake up!)”
Early in the morning, Shiny Kirlia came to Yu Feng's bed with a smile, calling her brother to wake up.
Yu Feng ignored her. It was hard enough to finally sleep on a soft bed; who wanted to get up so early? Besides, his biological clock wasn't telling him to wake up.
“Kirlia~~~ (Ehehehe!!!)”
Shiny Kirlia looked at her brother's lack of reaction, her grin almost reaching the sky.
You always wake me up early for training, and now it's my turn to be awake while you're still asleep!
“Hoo~~~”
To prevent her brother from suddenly waking up, Shiny Kirlia opened her small mouth and blew out a faint cold breeze, making the room incredibly cool.
Yu Feng felt the surrounding air cool down and subconsciously pulled the blanket tighter around him. The frown that had appeared due to the drop in temperature gradually relaxed.
Shiny Kirlia hummed the lullaby their mother used to sing to them when they were little. Although the way she spoke was different, it made no difference to her brother, since he understood her.
With a sinister grin, Shiny Kirlia's hands gradually became wreathed in an icy blue aura.
Yes, she had lowered the indoor temperature in advance precisely so Yu Feng wouldn't notice the temperature drop caused by her using Ice Punch.
“Kirlia!!!!! (Take this, you stinky brother!)”
Shiny Kirlia punched Yu Feng in the stomach, causing his eyes to involuntarily bulge out from the pain.
At this moment, he seemed to see a man in a suit and sunglasses sitting idly at an office desk.
Upon seeing him, the man surprisingly picked up a paper file, took off his sunglasses to wipe them, put them back on, and after confirming he wasn't mistaken, pulled out a large inflatable hammer labeled '100t Transcendent Hammer' from behind.
He swung it down hard on Yu Feng's head, and with that blow, Yu Feng's consciousness seemed to return to his body, and he felt the pain again.
After landing the punch, Shiny Kirlia seemed to enter a berserk mode, throwing punches so fast they left afterimages, directly striking Yu Feng's stomach.
A minute later, Shiny Kirlia finally vented enough. She jumped off her brother's body, which had turned into an ice block, and contentedly wiped her hands.
“Kirlia. (Stop pretending. Besides the first punch, I didn't use any force at all.)”
Shiny Kirlia looked at her brother, frozen in ice, with dead fish eyes. Others might not know, but she, the one who did it, wouldn't know?
He was only frozen now because he was too lazy to get out. This little damage was less than a minute of their daily morning training.
“Even if you know, don't say it out loud, it's so embarrassing.”
Yu Feng's voice came from within the solid ice; even without moving his mouth, his voice still penetrated.
“Kirlia. (What are you talking about?! Hurry up and come out, you set this morning training!)”
Shiny Kirlia rolled her eyes, not finding anything wrong with speaking without moving her mouth.
Flames suddenly appeared around Yu Feng, who was encased in solid ice, melting the ice off him.
“Alright, I'm awake and refreshed. Also, don't suddenly hit people next time. I almost thought I saw Yveltal.”
Seeing his sister with her hands clasped behind her head, looking nonchalant, Yu Feng couldn't help but complain.
He had to admit, that first punch truly made him feel like he had almost seen Yveltal; it was really too brutal.
Yu Feng touched his stomach with lingering fear, almost throwing up his dinner from the night before.
“Kirlia. (You're kidding, that punch wasn't even as strong as Mega Punch.)”
Shiny Kirlia was very disdainful. This punch wasn't as powerful as Mega Punch. He could endure that, but not an Ice Punch?
“Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Let's go find a punching bag to spar with.”
Yu Feng glanced at his indifferent sister, stretched, and prepared to find a lucky child to accompany him for his morning training.
Yu Feng yawned as he walked outside, falling into thought as he looked at the three doors before him.
“As for Brock, his ambition isn't to be a Trainer but a Breeder.”
Yu Feng looked at the first door and immediately ruled out Brock; the person's ambition wasn't there, so forcing him to train wasn't ideal.
“Then... Misty? No, it wouldn't be good for me, a guy, to run into her room.”
Looking at the second door, Yu Feng dismissed the option of Misty without a second thought. Even if he, a boy, looked like a girl, he wouldn't knock on a girl's door so early in the morning.
Then, without thinking, he kicked open the third door and directly dragged a bewildered Ash out of bed.
“Come on, let's go for morning training!”
Without giving Ash a chance to react, Yu Feng roughly put clothes on Ash using Psychic power, then disappeared from the room with Ash.
At this moment, Pikachu yawned and climbed up, looking confused at the vanished Ash. Could Ash really wake up this early? But he soon learned how Ash had disappeared.
“I knew he seemed to be missing something.”
Yu Feng's large face suddenly appeared before Pikachu, startling him. Yu Feng didn't give Pikachu much time to react either, picking up Pikachu by the scruff of his neck and disappearing from the room...
“Hatchu, Feng, is this really necessary? It's not even light yet.”
Ash rubbed his extremely sleepy eyes, looked at the still somewhat dim sky, and yawned.
“Pika~~~”
Pikachu also yawned, earnestly agreeing with Ash. He had never woken up this early before.
Hearing their words, Yu Feng only glanced at them sideways before releasing his main battle Pokémon.
“Hatt!”
“Kirlia!”
“Hatenna!”
“Indeedee!”
Four Pokémon appeared on the spot. As for why Shiny Gardevoir and Shiny Milcery weren't released, it was mainly because one didn't need training, and the other didn't need training either.
Cough, cough, actually, one was super strong and didn't need training, and the other just provided food and didn't need training.
As for why Indeedee was released...
“Indeedee, please make breakfast.”
Yu Feng instructed Indeedee to make breakfast; waking up so early, they hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
“Indeedee!”
Indeedee happily agreed to Yu Feng's request, then disappeared from their sight to prepare today's breakfast.
“As for the others, Hatenna, your main focus is to train your Psychic abilities; you're about to evolve soon.”
“Charmander, you too; the time to evolve into Charmeleon is very close.”
“You two will train with Ash later. Hatenna, you'll use your Psychic abilities to interfere with Ash and Pikachu, and Charmander, you'll use Ember to attack them, trying to compress your Ember to turn it into Flamethrower.”
Yu Feng briefly outlined the training regimen for Charmander and Hatenna.
“As for you two, your job is to evade Charmander's attacks and Hatenna's interference.”
