Training & Vacation

"Lean your body forward and keep your balance!" Hisoka shouted to Sneasel in front of him while standing on the surfboard.

"Don't fight against the waves. You can't stop the power of the ocean. Instead, feel them with your body, and go with the flow."

Sneasel struggled to control the surfboard under her feet, trying her best not to fall into the water due to the sea waves. Currently, she is training her balance with the training bracelets attached to her limbs.

Hisoka had adjusted the weight on the bracelets to 40kg in total. She might be able to handle the weight on the land without much trouble, but she was training on the sea right now. She'll have to be careful not to let herself fall into the sea by the oncoming waves.

Weight-bearing training combined with surfing is a workout developed by Hisoka for Sneasel. She was finally getting the hang of it. After all, she only started learning to surf just this morning. At least it was much better than at the beginning, falling into the sea multiple times.

He will slowly increase her weight as she gradually improves in her surfing training. This week, their ultimate goal is for her to learn Night Slash after her physical strength has improved.

Hisoka was also a sports enthusiast in his previous life. He used to try a lot of extreme sports such as parkour, mountain biking, and surfing.

Surfing, in particular, was his favorite sport. Surfing not only boosts cardiovascular health but also trains mental strength. Surfing is not the easiest sport to learn. It takes time, commitment, and perseverance in order to progress.

Furthermore, when his Pokemon were undergoing training, he didn't slack off. Instead, he went to train together with them. It will also improve the cooperation between them besides strengthening their bond.

He would also praise them from time to time, so they would feel his care and continue to work harder. Their simple and friendly nature is what made Hisoka attracted to them. Therefore, he prefers to spend more time with his Pokemon rather than with people.

The weather was fine today with a mild offshore breeze, which was the best time to surf. Still, anything can happen at sea. Suddenly, a strong wind came from the sea along with the sound of a tidal surge. A huge wave with the height of 3 story building was formed right behind their back.

Hisoka's expression turned serious. Surfing was called an extreme sport because of its high exposure to risk. The power of this wave can cause injuries to extremities and the cervical spine if hit on the back. Not only that, the unpredictable current can quickly swallow a person into the water and drown.

Facing the sudden change in the water flow, Hisoka had to react quickly. He began to paddle toward the shoreline as he lay his body down on the surfboard.

"Follow me!"

Sneasel followed Hisoka's action as they began to move along the wave.

Roar!

After riding the waves up, Hisoka sensed the direction of the wave and immediately shouted toward Sneasel, "Left! It's heading to the left!"

The huge wave rushed forward, bringing forth a mighty force as they surfed along the face of the wave.

"Steady!"

They rushed out of the wave in excitement, moving away from the tide, heading toward the shore.

"Nice job!"

Hisoka and Sneasel gave each other a high-five and then lay their backs on the beach, panting heavily. They rested for some amount of time while watching the beach scenery.

...

"It's time for dinner!"

The sky was slowly getting dark when Kirlia suddenly appeared in his sight.

Stare...

They didn't say anything to each other as they continued their staring contest. Hisoka leisurely put his hands on the back of his head as he stared into Kirlia's reddish eyes.

Finally, a tinge of blush appeared on Kirlia's cheeks as she couldn't bear Hisoka's gaze. She then controlled a handful of sand, threw them on his face, and disappeared into the distance with her Teleport.

"I hate Hisoka!" Kirlia's angry voice came from afar.

"Ouch! My eyes!" Hisoka rolled on the ground under Sneasel's laughter, who had watched the whole thing.

...

Today's launch is a seafood platter in Cajun and garlic butter sauce.

Kirlia's craftmanship is almost on par with a Michelin star chef. As a Psychic-type Pokemon, her powerful mental abilities allow her to quickly learn any kind of skills.

The high-intensity training during the day took a lot of energy from Hisoka and Sneasel. And the seafood tray on the dining table was just barely enough for the three of them.

Sneasel stepped forward and grabbed a few prawns from the grill. Each prawn has a size of about an arms' thickness, grilled until perfectly red. The smell coming off from them is really delicious.

She used her handy claws to cut the prawn's head and peel off the skin, revealing its soft and succulent flesh. As she was about to eat them, she suddenly stopped. She transferred them to another plate and brought them to Hisoka, who was struggling to peel off the prawn's skin.

"For me?" Hisoka asked as he wiped his messy hands clean.

"Sneasel!" She nodded her head.

"Thanks!"

She went back to the grill and started to peel the prawn's skin once more. Soon, she was only left with the peeled prawns on her plate.

"Sneasel!" Sneasel hummed in happiness after tasting the delicious prawns.

She would never have thought that she might experience this kind of life in the past. Just a month ago, she was still wandering alone in the wild.

She had to hunt for food every day in the wild, but with Hisoka, she didn't have to worry about anything except for training. She will also get injured from time to time and had to go starving while recovering from her injuries.

'It feels so nice when others care about you!'

Sneasel is happy and content with her life now. Although she is a little tired due to her training, it's still much better than living in the wild. Moreover, Hisoka always treats her well.
