Chapter 517 Qingyu: If you're bad at it, practice more!
"Teacher Qingyu, it seems like every time you go out, you come back with a Pokémon you've never seen before—"
'
After the battle on Mikumo Island finally came to an end, Aoba, having completed her plans for the day, returned to Blueberry Academy.
Unsurprisingly, he was once again surrounded by students.
Nemo said this while curiously observing the somewhat shy pony huddled behind Lucario, silently making a comment.
First, there's Meloeta, the adorable and talented singer.
Although it was afraid of strangers and hid in Teacher Qingyu's room every day, Nemo, who lived next door, could still often hear her heavenly singing voice.
It's a real shame he doesn't go out and form a band and become the lead singer. Who knows, he might become the first Pokémon band whose album sold worldwide?
There's also Reshiram, the white dragon who inexplicably turned into a juvenile form.
Despite being a very prestigious true dragon in the Unova Legends, it has become the cutest character in front of Aoba-sensei, and its family hierarchy might even be lower than that of Salamence.
Even N's Zekrom often looks at it with complicated eyes, and I always feel like I could write thousands of words in my head. As for this little pony—I think it's called Keldeo?
He doesn't look like a strong person. Could he be a reserve main force that Teacher Qingyu is planning to train again?
Many other students shared her thoughts, and their gazes were all focused on Keldeo, making it very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Keldeo quickly shook its head and used telepathy to ask Aoba a question:
Human, didn't you promise to find me a good place for special training?
Is it too noisy here?
Raised by its master Gopaloo from a young age, it occasionally feels curious about the human world, but it never wants to become the focus of their attention.
Since it's about spiritual practice, one should find a quiet, secluded place to cultivate oneself and gain inner peace!
As a result, Keldeo always felt like he had been tricked.
"Luca!"
As if sensing the change in the little pony's mindset, Lucario, with his arms crossed, suddenly growled, his tone stern.
Upon hearing this, Keldeo immediately shrank back and hid behind Lucario without hesitation.
Seeing this, Lucario couldn't help but shake his head.
Although the trainer said the child was very talented, but—
I couldn't tell at all.
The Unova Swordsman, judging from the name, should be a very powerful Pokémon, but why was this little pony chosen?
However, since the trainer said that, there must be a reason for it!
Lucario felt that he must not have discovered Keldeo's strengths yet.
So let's start training.
After a few days of training, its true nature will definitely be revealed.
"Luca".
Lucario looked at Qingyu and spoke softly.
"Shall we begin the training program now?"
Qingyu thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded.
"That's true, training the foal early will help it grow up sooner."
"Otherwise, it would probably think I'm a charlatan."
"Keio————"
Keldeo looked a little embarrassed that his inner thoughts had been directly exposed by humans.
But it only lasted a short while before it began to look forward to its "new mentor's" training plan.
"So how do you plan to train it? Using your old methods?"
"Luca!"
Qingyu smiled as she looked at Lucario, and when it nodded in response, she couldn't help but feel a little wistful.
Hopefully, this little pony will still be able to smile later on.
In terms of pure talent, Lucario may not be the most talented among the Sunny Gym members, but its effort level is absolutely unparalleled.
He's been training relentlessly since his Riolu days, using his own "Saitama Training Method," and he hasn't stopped training even now.
If Keldeo can truly withstand its attacks, even if he can't ascend to the top in one step, becoming a Holy Swordsman will be a piece of cake.
"Then let's begin now."
"I happen to have some extra weight in my bag, you can use it as needed."
"Luca!"
The encrypted call between Qingyu and Lucario quickly attracted the attention of the students who had gathered around.
What is Teacher Yu's training plan for his main Pokémon?
I have to stand up and learn this!
If you can learn this skill and gain half of Teacher Yu's strength, that would be a real gain!
Apart from Nemo and Piper, the other students at Blueberry Academy pricked up their ears, held their breath, and quietly waited for Qingyu and Lucario's next performance.
However, Lucario's next actions quickly shocked them.
"Luca!"
After taking a weighted iron plate from Qingyu, Lucario looked at Keldeo's tiny horn behind him, roughly estimated its size, and then reached out to start prying the iron plate.
After a period of kneading, the iron sheet was directly molded into a slightly irregular shape, but the size was just right to fit on Keldeo's head.
"???"
The students weren't shocked that Lucario could break metal with its bare hands; after all, it's normal for Fighting-type Pokémon to be strong.
They just hadn't expected that Lucario's training method would be so ordinary.
After all, human fighters often undergo similar special training.
"Kaio—?!"
After Lucario put the weight on Keldeo's head, Keldeo, which hadn't thought much of it at first, suddenly felt its head get heavy. It lost its balance and was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, its training with the Holy Swordsmen was not without purpose. It quickly realized what was happening and tensed its entire body. After swaying from side to side a few times, it managed to stabilize its shaky body.
Seriously? They actually have to train wearing something this heavy?
Keldeo frowned, feeling that this was almost impossible.
Just standing here, it was already drenched in sweat, let alone carrying such a heavy load while practicing sword swinging.
However, Lucario didn't say much, only glancing at it before casually uttering, "Lucario." (Follow my lead.)
【I see!】
Keldeo dared not nod, and was even afraid that speaking would affect his control over his body, so he could only respond using telepathy once again.
Sure enough, it's still the same Saitama training method I taught it —
Seeing that Lucario was about to start today's long run, Qingyu couldn't help but remind him.
"Go a little slower and lower the intensity. The goal is to let Koudio get used to the weight first, and then gradually increase the intensity."
Keldeo is the future Holy Swordsman, and the current training is a way of tempering its will and mindset in advance. I believe it can understand this itself.
After all, the little pony is really bad right now; it can't even conjure up a Holy Sword technique.
What kind of holy swordsman is this!
So, practice cooking more!
Starting today, the devilish instructor Lucario will begin to rigorously train this good-for-nothing little pony.
"Luca".
Lucario nodded solemnly, then led the way in a slow jog toward the giant ecological dome.
"Kaio"
—
Keldeo instinctively wanted to follow, but as soon as it took its first step, the shift in its center of gravity caused it to tilt, forcing it to tense up and do its best to cope.
So its running speed was not only surprisingly slow, but its posture was also a bit—amusing to Qingyu?
Fortunately, Lucario was somewhat sensible. Seeing that Keldeo was moving so slowly, it slowed down and barely managed to keep pace with it.
Seeing that Lucario was about to run away with Keldeo, who was striding with an air of invincibility, the other students, after a brief moment of thought, decided to grit their teeth and stomp their feet, regardless of whether it would work or not, to learn it first!
Students in the group, especially those with Fighting-type Pokémon, reacted very quickly.
"Go, Hawley, let's follow them!"
"I'll go buy you a weighted vest tomorrow; maybe this is our chance to get stronger!"
"What's the point of just having Pokémon train? I feel like if I stick with this routine, I can become a humanoid Pokémon too, so let's go!"
"No—are you serious?"
"Then my Bricaron and I can't fall behind; we have to keep up!"
"Holy crap, how did it get rolled up?"
"Never mind, naughty panda, let's follow!"
Once the first student started the competition, most of the students who stayed at Blueberry Academy quickly followed suit, forming a long line behind Lucario.
Even Nemo got carried away and followed along with her Babu Maru and Motor Lizard.
Of course, she herself definitely couldn't keep it up, so she immediately rode the motorcycle lizard and took on the role of carrying weights during training.
"————"
Only Papa stood there helplessly.
"I wish Lucario's training methods were really that easy to learn."
"I don't know how many students will be able to stick with it for a month."
Pipa, being a resident of Little Key Town, knew a bit about Lucario, since it used to frequently pass by Little Key Path for its morning exercise.
The truly terrifying aspect of this training method lies not in the weight on Keldeo's head, but in the steadily increasing training intensity every day.
You might only feel physically tired on the first day, but afterwards you'll definitely feel physically and mentally exhausted.
If these students can stick to it for a full month, Piper thinks they have a very strong will and will definitely achieve great things in the future.
And what about Lucario?
This unlimited training method has been maintained for about a year now.
Not only has the intensity of training increased exponentially, but the test of mental fortitude is terrifying to even think about!
Therefore, the reason why Lucario was able to grow to its current strength is largely because it was born with a strong enough willpower.
Thinking of this, Pipa could only sigh and rub his forehead.
I hope that Keldeo is alright.
The other students at Blueberry Academy will also be in pain—they'll probably wake up tomorrow with their whole bodies aching.
But as long as you persevere, you will definitely reap the rewards.
From that day on, Blueberry Academy gained another spectacular sight.
Every evening, Lucario would lead the way, followed by a large group of students in uniforms and their Pokémon, running in circles around Blueberry Academy.
After running, students will participate in several other sports activities on the playground, which often leaves many students exhausted and collapsing on the ground.
At first, Principal Xi Lan thought the students were up to something again, but she didn't expect it to be a training program initiated by Qing Yu, so she let them do it.
Although I don't quite understand, since it's Qingyu's choice, it must be the right one!
Similar ideas have long been deeply ingrained in the minds of many people.
So much so that after half a month, Qingyu discovered that surprisingly, very few of them had fallen behind.
-
The two weeks of training did show some results; at least the students' expressions were noticeably more determined.
Putting aside physical strength, it's clear that there has been a breakthrough in mental state.
As for Keldeo—
After the first day of training, Qingyu realized that this little guy was probably a master at giving up, and wanted to quit as soon as he finished training.
No wonder he hasn't become anything special after training with the Three Musketeers for so long; it turns out his attitude was the problem.
Having solved the case, Qingyu didn't say much, but "inadvertently" removed a piece of Lucario's weight after the training ended.
Then, "accidentally," my hand trembled.
The small piece of iron hit the ground, leaving a shallow crater and making a sound like a cannonball exploding.
"Keo—?!"
Keldio immediately fell for the trap, his face showing shock.
After comparing the weight difference between the metal piece on its horn and the one on the ground, it finally understood why Lucario was so powerful.
Moreover, Lucario seems to have more than one such metal plate on its body; each of its four limbs and wrists is tied with a special strap to secure the weight.
Such terrifying physical strength must have been achieved through years of accumulated training, right?
After staring at Qingyu in silence for a moment, Keldeo, who had been ready to give up, looked up again and his eyes had subtly changed.
At this moment, Qingyu understood—
The fourth Holy Swordsman of the Unova may soon truly come into his own.
September arrived quickly.
When the students, who had spent two months of carefree summer vacation at home, returned to Blueberry Academy, they quickly noticed that peculiar sight.
Then-
They felt like the sky had fallen.
What's going on?
What does it mean that I'm having a blast at home during summer vacation while you guys are secretly studying at school?
This world is so dark! Can't it ever get any better?!
Now that things have come to this, and they are already far behind others, they only have one choice: join them now, it's not too late!
So after a month, the number of people in Lucario's "Self-Discipline Squad" not only did not decrease, but also increased by quite a few new members.
In a sense, Principal Xi Lan's strong invitation to Qing Yu to serve as an exchange teacher at Blueberry Academy has been achieved.
"Sure enough, wherever Teacher Yu is, the students' overall level rises several notches!"
Sitting in her office, Xi Lan watched the boys and girls running in the sunset and couldn't help but smile.
This is a huge profit!
In a few years, Blueberry Academy will probably be among the world's top schools!
