Chapter 20: Wood Gecko Population

While Kebi was treating Tyranitar and the others, he was already formulating Pokémon food recipes for the three of them in his mind.

Kebi made Seedot's food into a dry powder, which only needed to be mixed with water and put into a bottle when it was time to eat.

Once Seedot evolves into Nuzleaf, it can eat pellet-shaped Pokémon food with Piplup and the others.

Fearow's food was made into ping-pong ball-sized cubes, making it convenient for Fearow to peck, chew, and swallow.

Tyranitar's was the simplest, directly made into large flatbreads.

Tyranitar was too large; it would be too difficult for him to eat pellet-shaped Pokémon food with his hands like Piplup and the others.

Aron had previously purchased standard store-bought Tyranitar Pokémon food, which not only didn't suit Tyranitar's taste but also wasn't convenient to eat as individual pellets.

Therefore, Tyranitar was so moved when he ate the steaming hot flatbreads Kebi made on the spot.

He had originally intended to observe his new master.

Now, it was simply: wherever Kebi pointed, Tyranitar would strike.

After dinner, Kebi clapped his hands: “We had a lot of fun today, but we can't forget about training.”

Piplup and Chimchar still followed the old routine of hitting Rocks.

Seedot trained Seed Machine Gun, a skill he could use for a lifetime.

Fearow continued to rest; his rest now was his training.

Just now, when he looked at Fearow's data, he was surprised to find that Fearow's aptitude had actually recovered a bit.

【Aptitude: Blue (54/100)】

Kebi was unsure if this recovered aptitude was due to his treatment of Fearow or due to the positive change in Fearow's own mindset.

Kebi still needed to continue his research and verify through multiple sources to deduce a breeding method that could strengthen a Pokémon's aptitude.

The breeding method Kebi currently applied to his Pokémon was derived from his use of the Brock character card, based on Brock's insights and breeding knowledge.

From the performance of Ash's Pokémon during their journey with Brock, it was clear that Brock's method could indeed help Pokémon grow strong.

This was an effective method, but it required long-term use to show results.

Piplup and Chimchar, who had been consuming Pokémon food for the longest time, only for a week, and their lv70 and ability values were steadily increasing.

“Tyranitar, the skills you need to train are Rock Throw, Rock Slide, and Stone Edge. Don't practice Hyper Beam for now.”

Ignoring his own attribute skills to focus on Hyper Beam, Aron was truly out of his mind.

Rock Throw makes flying Pokémon fall back to the ground, and until Rock Throw expires, the affected Pokémon can only move on the ground.

For a large and relatively clumsy Pokémon like Tyranitar, reducing the opponent's mobility is very necessary.

Rock Slide can change the terrain of the battlefield, limiting the enemy's range of movement.

Stone Edge is one of the great killing moves of rock-type Pokémon, so it naturally needs to be practiced.

“Use each skill at full power twenty times, then run ten laps around the riverbank. You need to run through the stream midway, which also counts as training your resistance to the Water attribute.”

Tyranitar nodded and found a corner far from everyone to train.

His strength was the greatest, so he had to train far from everyone.

Otherwise, he could easily accidentally injure others.

About fifty meters away from everyone, Tyranitar condensed a ball of orange-red Rock and launched it towards the sky.

A loud bang made Kebi couldn't help but rub his ears.

It was just a Rock Throw with 50 power, but in Tyranitar's hands, it had such great power.

At this moment, Kebi had a deeper understanding of the phrase, “An Elite Four's Pokémon can sweep an entire city with a single Hyper Beam.”

Looking at Tyranitar, who was excitedly releasing Rock Throw towards the sky, Kebi seemed to find the reason why Rock Throw was so powerful.

It seemed that not only Fearow, but even Tyranitar, were not in their peak condition under Aron's care.

Ball after ball of orange-red Rock exploded in the air, and Piplup, Chimchar, and Seedot stared at Tyranitar without blinking.

“What are you looking at? Aren't you supposed to be training? Train hard now, and in the future, a casual move from you can achieve the same effect.”

Encouraged by Kebi, Piplup and the others began to train with unprecedented seriousness.

Piplup used to be encouraged by Kebi to train, but today, seeing Tyranitar, he had a concrete image of how strong he could become in the future.

He suddenly had a goal.

The moon rose and set, the moon set and rose, and it was another bright morning.

After breakfast, Kebi used the essential oil and comb he made last night to tidy Fearow's messy feathers.

“I didn't give you a training task yesterday because you have an important task today. You need to carry me to search for a Treecko tribe in the forest.”

Fearow confidently raised his head; there was no problem at all.

Searching for Pokémon was his strong suit.

After tidying his feathers, Kebi took out a mirror.

“Look, have you become prettier?”

Although he wasn't particularly handsome, at least he had gone from ugly to not ugly, much more pleasing to the eye.

Fearow flapped his wings in surprise.

With his current appearance, he finally had the confidence to hook up with one or two partners in the forest.

Although Spearow were rare in the Hoenn region, if he was lucky, he would eventually encounter them.

Even if there were no Spearow, Taillow would do; Fearow wasn't picky.

Before leaving, Kebi instructed: “You all will train your skills the same way as yesterday. Rest after twenty uses, then continue training once your stamina recovers.”

“If you get hungry, I've left food for you over there. Go eat it yourselves. Seedot needs to put the bottle on the fruit stem, Chimchar, help him with that.”

“Alright, Fearow, let's go.”

With Fearow's keen eyesight, Kebi only took two hours this time to find the Treecko tribe in the forest.

Actually, the Treecko tribe wasn't too far from where Kebi first camped when he entered the forest; Kebi just chose the wrong direction.

It was precisely because Kebi chose the wrong direction that Kebi was able to meet Aron and obtain two excellent Pokémon, Fearow and Tyranitar.

Kebi just wanted to tell Aron, “Your Pokémon are truly excellent.”

Treecko lived in trees, and their green skin naturally blended with the forest.

Even when searching from above the forest, if it weren't for Fearow's keen eyesight, it would be really hard to find them.

In any case, Kebi couldn't Lock-On to Treecko with his naked eye from the sea of green leaves.

“Land.”

Kebi jumped off Fearow's back, and the Treecko watched warily the sudden appearance of one person and one Pokémon.

Although the forest was quite large, as long as they weren't hostile tribes, Pokémon would also transmit messages to each other, especially those of the same attribute.

Shiftry was, to some extent, the guardian of this forest.

His death made the entire forest raise its vigilance against humans.

Kebi smiled; his natural affinity made the Treecko less hostile towards him, but they also didn't let down their guard.

“I have no ill intentions. I just hope to choose an excellent Treecko from among you to travel with me?”

Kebi took out some Pokémon food from his backpack and placed it on the ground.

“Consider these my welcome gifts.”

Suddenly, a green figure leaped out from the bushes.

“Chara!”

It was a Grovyle.

His eyes and the Leaf Blade glowing on his hands declared that the Treecko's territory did not welcome humans.
