Bonding

Alan went to his dorm and entered to the training area behind his room, he called out his two pokemons (Beldum and Riolu) and told Honedge to come out of the shadow.

"Hello Riolu, meet the other two members of the Family, Beldum and Honedge." Alan said.

"Rio..." Riolu looked at Alan, then at the other two Pokemon, and then he greeted the duo shyly. After a while, Allen saw that all three of his Pokemon were talking, while Riolu sometimes danced happily during the discussion, and Beldum was happily floating around the duo. Although Alan could not understand what they were talking about, he felt that they were very happy to see each other.

"Ok so everyone, its time for training and Riolu you are a member of this family so you will have to train along with us as well." Said Alan, though Alan was only 6 years old but still his two pokemons respected him. Riolu was a new member so he wasn't aware about his nature as his pokedex wasn't yet updated enough to show nature of his pokemon.

Everyone stood infront of Alan, "Ok, so for start, Beldum you will focus on increasing your capacity and range of confusion using that big boulder. Honedge you focus on attacking that target with shadow balls and try to increase number of Shadow balls per minute, also their size. For Riolu you show me your attacks, though I know what attacks you know but still I want to see how powerful these attacks are and after that we will plan on learning new skills." Said Alan.

Alan did some installation in his training room with the help of his parents and Professor Samuel Oak who always supported him because he was brilliant student and knew many things about pokemon which other students were unaware of. Those installation included few big rocks, some iron rods, some training targets and also he was planning to install a treadmill and some dumbbells to train Riolu in combat.

Beldum started focusing on keeping that big rock floating which was thrice the weight of Alan, so it was a good practice. Honedge was practicing his Shadow Ball, current rate of shadow ball per minute was 18 but size were bigger compare to shadow balls he used when Alan met him for the first time. On other hand Alan told Riolu to start with quick attack and do 10 laps of the whole ground of 20*20 feet area.

Riolu got tired after doing 7 laps and laid on the ground, so Alan went to him and said, "You did a great job Riolu, but your endurance is still low. It is not too low compared to other pokemon of the same age, but you should do more training so that you can become stronger."

Alan told his team to train for the next three hours, and then he would let them rest for a day, as they were still too young, so Alan did not plan to train for a long time.

Three hours later, Alan saw that Beldum was able to lift the rock for about 7 minutes, and which was about 6.30 minutes at the beginning, so the increase of 30-second was there, which was really a big achievement because Alan thought that Beldum may be able to increase the duration by maximum 20 Seconds. Honedge could now use 20 shadow balls per minute, and the size of the shadow balls had increased by 10%. Riolu could complete 3 laps in 1 minute, which was also a good thing, and after every 25-minute break, he ran about 12 laps.

"Okay, everyone stop." Said Alan and everyone stopped attacking, Beldum put the stone back without making any sound. "You are all doing very well," Alan said.

'Bel..Beldum' Replied Beldum and floated around happily.

'Ri..Rio' Riolu also jumped with happiness.

'Hon....edge..' Honedge was also floating after hearing praise from Alan.

"Okay, okay, now everyone is here, we will take a break, my mother sent special food for you Riolu, similar to Beldum and Honedge, I told her about you in the morning, So she gave me these cubes." He said, showing Riolu a reddish Cube specially for fighting types and some silver cubes for Steel type. Riolu picked up the reddish Cube, smelled it, and took a bite. He jumped up happily and ate the whole cube in the second bite. "I think you like it. I'm really happy." Allen said, and gave everyone their own Cubes, his mother gave him special cubes for his all pokemon Ghost Cube (Grayish Color), Fighting Cube (Reddish Color), Psychic Cube (Pink Color) and Steel Cube (Silver Color).

Remaining time of day went bonding with his pokemons, Alan thought to practice aura along with Riolu after 2 months of training so that he may get able to understand and speak with Riolu which will help in bonding with any new pokemon easily as well. But that training is for later part, now he was excited for training lecture by Cilan next day and also about how his friends were going to bond with their pokemons.
