Anxiety

On this day, Yuga received four Water Stone he had ordered from the League Store. He took them with him to the Ecopark.

After helping two Slowpokes evolve, Yuga noticed that four Lombre were also at the stage where they could evolve. So, he had ordered four Water Stone a few days ago for this purpose.

With the assistance of the Water Stone, the evolution of the Lombre went smoothly, and they all evolved into Ludicolo.

Compared to the quiet Lombre, Ludicolo were much more outgoing. Besides helping with tending to the herb fields, they sang and danced joyfully.

The entire Grassland Sub-Ecopark seemed to come alive because of these four.

When Yuga left the Grassland Sub-Ecopark and returned to the main Ecopark, he was suddenly engulfed in a bear hug from a Dragonite that had leaped out from behind the Light Gate in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark.

"What's got you so excited?" Yuga asked as he pushed Dragonite away, barely escaping being crushed. If it weren't for his decent physical condition, that hug might have suffocated him.

"Dragonite..." Dragonite pointed to itself and struck a bodybuilding pose.

"You've broken through?" Yuga inquired, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

Dragonite nodded happily.

...

Yuga used his Insight Ability to confirm it; indeed, Dragonite had successfully broken through to the pseudo-Elite level.

During this time, Dragonite had been training diligently under the guidance Dragonite's Mother, and had barely left the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark.

Dragonite's mother was truly a Champion level Pokémon. In such a short time, she had successfully helped Dragonite break through to the pseudo-Elite level.

Apart from leveling up, Dragonite had also learned three practical moves from its mother: Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, and Ice Punch.

Coupled with the Fire Punch and Thunder Punch it had learned on its own, Dragonite had finally completed its "Farmer's Three Punches," even though it had initially started slower than Chimecho and Vivillon. Now it had caught up and more than lived up to its repution as Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.

potential was essential, but being born into the right family was crucial too!

Sometimes, it was all about the experience.

As Dragonite's breakthrough was so smooth, its recent training task was considered completed. Its mother was satisfied with Dragonite's progress and gave it some time off to rest.

With Dragonite's mother assisting in teaching Dragonite, Yuga saved a lot of effort and avoided many detours.

Even though Dragonite's mother was proficient in Ice-type moves and Dragonite excelled in Electric-type moves, there were still many commonalities in their energy and skill usage.

In addition to this, Dragonite was currently attempting to comprehend the red Dragon Scale left behind by its father with the help of its mother.

This Dragon Scale contained a vast amount of Dragon-type power, which would greatly benefit Dragonite's growth.

At this moment, the red Dragon Scale was attached to Dragonite's chin, making it quite conspicuous against its yellow scales.

To celebrate Dragonite's successful breakthrough, Yuga had Audino cook a delicious meal for all his main Pokémon. It was a reward for their hard work and dedication during this period of training.

Florges and Absol successfully broke through their limits one after another. Even their junior, Dragonite, had surpassed them. Vivillon and Chimecho were feeling a bit anxious because of this.

As they returned to their training, Vivillon and Chimecho put even more effort into their practice. At this stage of their development, it was not just about physical training and skill improvement; it was more about comprehension.

Only when they fully understood their own attributes could they break through smoothly. The deeper their understanding of their elemental strengths, the more adept they would become at using their skills, ultimately advancing their power.

This was one of the reasons why many trainers emphasized the importance of a Pokémon's innate potential because without it, they might struggle to comprehend their true potential.

Yuga sometimes wanted to tell Vivillon and Chimecho not to rush, as impatience could hinder their growth. However, it seemed that Vivillon and Chimecho weren't very receptive to this advice.

Yuga probably understood their feelings. The order in which his main Pokémon were captured was: Florges, Absol, Vivillon, and Chimecho. All other Pokémon were captured later. These four had been with Yuga the longest.

However, the newcomer, Dragonite, achieved pseudo-Elite level right away. Even Gengar and Mismagius is already reach Elite level due to their unique experiences.

Then came the breakthroughs of Florges and Absol, who got along day and night.

The Grass-type Pokémon didn't bother Vivillon and Chimecho much because they were considered the seniors in that group.

But seeing Florges and Absol in front of them and Dragonite and Lapras behind them, easily breaking through while they remained stuck was adding psychological pressure.

As a result, Vivillon started frequently visiting Vespiquen No. 1 in Amber Castle, and Chimecho could often be seen near Gardevoir.

Yuga observed both of them spending a lot of time on training daily, and he could see their progress. However, he felt like something was still missing for them to break through to pseudo-Elite level.

Often, the more anxious you become, the harder it is to achieve what you desire, and this was the situation Vivillon and Chimecho had found themselves in.

In theory, as Pokémon with Indigo potential, breaking through to pseudo-Elite level shouldn't be too difficult for them. Especially since Chimecho was learning from Gardevoir, who was once considered a Legendary Pokémon.

Yet, for some reason, they were stuck.

Yuga knew it was a mental block, and he wanted to guide them, but he didn't know where to start.

One day, while Yuga was working at the store, he suddenly felt like there was a voice calling out to him, which was quite strange.

Could it be that he was about to experience something like the protagonists in fantasy novels, where a unique encounter awaited him?

Regardless, Yuga felt compelled to investigate.

So, he mounted his Charizard and followed the calling voice.

The voice was not coming from within Verdanturf Town but from the outskirts.

Yuga rode his Charizard until he arrived at a forest on the outskirts of Verdanturf Town.

Although the season was approaching late autumn, the leaves in the woods had not yet fully fallen due to the climate.
