Chapter 4 Hold up... wait a minute... something ain't right

For the past few hours, Gray and Scyther continue their ability training...

"Scyther use quick attack again and again"

"Use False Swipe onto that tree"

"..."

Gray took a notebook in his backpack and records all of Scyther's data and progress:

• It took 8 Fury Cutter for scyther to finally cut a tree

• Scyther can use Quick Attack 15 times before he runs out of energy

• have an average speed of 4.20secs/69meters

• False Swipe doesn't have much power but at least it can be used 20 times before scyther runs out of energy.

The main purpose of doing this is to improve proficiency, and it can even be said to force Scyther's potential.

After training these three moves, Gray took out some bug type pokeblocks to eat and water blended with honey for scyther to drink. When Scyther had taken enough rest, Gray let him run another three laps around the vicinity before they go home.

"Okay! Our training today is Over. Let's go home and eat I will give you some delicious fold that I promised". Scyther's energy returned as if nothing had happened when he heard he'd be getting some tasty food.

I put Scyther back in his Pokeball, grab my backpack, and we rush back to our house. When I got home, I took some honey from the kitchen drawers and milk from the fridge and then poured it into the food bowl.

"Come out Scyther"

Scyther then started eating the treat I had prepared for him right away. Gray takes Scyther to the bath after he finishes his meal. I then proceeded to massage Scyther, even though I had no idea how to massage, pressing Pokémon is still somewhat effective, and most importantly, Scyther enjoys it. The tired Scyther fell asleep quickly during the massage. He then grabbed his notepad to jot down another thing he noticed from Scyther before forgetting it.

• Scyther's ability is Technician, in which Technician increases the power of moves - that are usually base power 60 or below - by 50%.

Gray also went to sleep beside Scyther after penning down his notes. He had no idea a blue coloured energy was entering Scyther's body.

I woke up a little earlier than usual, then looked at the sleeping Scyther and noticed that he had grown a little, or perhaps I was hallucinating due to waking up early. I then make both of our breakfasts and wake Scyther up so he can eat his breakfast as well. After we finished our breakfast, I took our weighing scale from under my bed, as well as a tape measure from my backpack, and measured Scyther's height and weight.

Scyther was 1.5 meters tall and weighed 56 kilograms when I first captured him, but after only one day of training, he has grown to 1.53 meters and weighed 59 kilograms. I expected it to take three days to grow like this, but it only took two. Gray, is perplexed but doesn't bother because he believes it is because of Scyther's potential and eating good food.

After our classes ended in the afternoon, I went to the outskirts of Viridian Forest to continue our training routine.

I placed my backpack down after releasing Scyther into his Pokeball. I let Scyther run for 5 laps around the outskirts again just like what we did yesterday. When Scyther started running, I started running as well to condition my body. Scyther is not as tired as he was yesterday after running the five laps, and I believe he can do one more lap, so I directly let Scyther run another lap. After his sixth lap, Scyther began to feel a little fatigued.

I then took the what I called 'honey water' from my backpack then I give it to scyther to drink and let him rest for a few minutes. I began Scyther's Move training after we had finished resting.

The first is the Fury Cutter. Scyther needed to use this eight times yesterday to cut down a tree, but it's a lot better now. You only need to use it six times to cut down a tree.

There has also been an improvement in using the move Quick attack; Scyther could only do it 15 times before becoming exhausted, but he can now do it 17 times before running out of energy. Scyther can reach 3.90 seconds/69 meters when using this move.

Then there's the False swipe. When Scyther used this move on a tree branch yesterday, it only left a mark, but now he can almost cut the tree branch and use it 23 times before getting exhausted.

The final move that we practice is Double Team, which we only started training today because we didn't get the chance to practice it yesterday. Scyther can create a clone of himself, which is great for distracting the opponent. I plan to let Scyther train this move into perfection so that we can try copying the ninja that I've watched in my previous life. Scyther can currently only create one clone of himself when using this move.

I then take my notebook from my backpack and record the data that I've gathered for the day.

Scyther's progress has far exceeded my expectations. The original program will not work. I decided to increase Scyther's training load in the coming weeks. Of course, I won't be idle; I'll also be training my body alongside Scyther. I used to practice Tae Kwon Do, but only for self-defense. I'll try practicing Tae Kwon Do in this body so that I can use it for my own protection, because I know Scyther won't always be there to protect me

After we finished the move training, I gave Scyther the remaining honey water to drink, and we rested for a few minutes before returning home. As I returned to our house, I noticed my father setting the table for dinner, so I assisted him before preparing Scyther's food. Scyther and I took a bath, and then I massaged him until he fell asleep again, just like yesterday.
