Julian nodded firmly.

"Then let us begin a new round of training. Next, I’ll assign everyone’s training tasks."

"First is Gallade. Your training will focus mainly on Bulk Up. Strengthening your Defense is your top priority."

Through today’s battle, Gallade had clearly recognised just how poor his defensive power was.

Bulk Up could also increase his strength. Combined with his sharp elbow blades, perhaps it could double his attacking power.

Previously, Gallade had only completed the tasks Julian assigned him.

Today, for the first time, Gallade developed the thought of answering everyone’s trust and training for himself.

"You’ll wear the Lagging Tail, use Bulk Up three times, then run laps around the battlefield. Once the effect of Bulk Up fades, use Bulk Up three more times."

"Next is Farfetch’d. Your task is to use the rocks on the battlefield as cover and attack Gallade with Quick Attack, Fury Cutter, and Brick Break."

Hearing Julian’s arrangement, Farfetch’d frowned slightly.

This training method, which was not much different from sneak attacks, was something he could not quite accept.

"Simply running laps won’t have enough training effect for Gallade. Farfetch’d, you’ll pressure Gallade while training your leek technique."

"Gallade, you only defend. Don’t attack."

Farfetch’d shook his head.

"Far, far!"

Julian noticed that Farfetch’d’s emotions seemed a little off.

He raised an eyebrow.

Galarian Farfetch’d was a Pokémon with knightly spirit.

They could lose, but they could not ambush.

And they especially could not attack an opponent who would not fight back.

"In that case, Farfetch’d, attack from the front. Gallade can freely counterattack with moves."

Farfetch’d possessed a noble spirit. As his Trainer, Julian naturally had to preserve Farfetch’d’s character.

Gallade was somewhat confused.

Shouldn’t battle involve using every possible method to obtain victory?

Was sneak attacking bad?

Why did Farfetch’d dislike ambushes and insist on frontal battle?

With this confusion, Gallade equipped the Lagging Tail and went with Farfetch’d to the neighbouring battlefield to begin training.

"Croagunk, after eating the Hundred Poisons Pill, wear the Poison Barb and train Bulk Up, Brick Break, and Poison Jab."

Julian took a sealed box from the shelf.

He opened it and took out a pill the size of a ping-pong ball.

Croagunk accepted it and directly tilted his head back, swallowing it.

"Hakamo-o, move training."

After Hakamo-o’s dragon scales had been shattered by Garchomp, they had already regrown after Nurse Joy’s treatment.

This was one of Hakamo-o’s traits. After his dragon scales were shattered, he could quickly grow new scales, and they would be even harder than the original ones.

They needed some time to harden, so today would be move training first.

"Torchic, today you’ll practise Ember. Focus your mind and gather Fire-type energy to increase the size and temperature of each individual spark."

"When you can gather the sparks into a single stream, you’ll be able to learn Flamethrower. Learn properly from Poliwrath."

Torchic was led by Poliwrath to the backyard to train.

Poliwrath was good at using special attack moves. If Torchic accidentally set something on fire, Poliwrath could also help put it out.

Primeape rubbed his fists together.

Why had his training not been arranged yet?

"Primeape, you’re coming with me to customise your new weights."

The other Pokémon would be assisted in training by Machamp and Machoke.

Julian did not forget to bring Hakamo-o’s shattered dragon scales.

That pot could be used while camping. When his sister went travelling, she could take it with her. It could be used for cooking and self-defence.

Not long after Julian left, Gallade kicked Farfetch’d away as Farfetch’d charged head-on with Quick Attack.

Watching Farfetch’d climb back up, his gaze instead became sharper.

Gallade could only continue running forward with confusion.

Farfetch’d tightened his grip on the leek that had been knocked away and sped up, running in front of Gallade.

He swung the leek again, using Brick Break to attack Gallade.

Gallade’s gaze focused. His elbow blade lightly lifted, knocking the leek aside, and he kicked Farfetch’d away again.

Gallade ran four laps and kicked Farfetch’d away for the thirteenth time.

This time, after Farfetch’d climbed up, he quacked loudly at Gallade.

Farfetch’d hoped Gallade would attack him with his elbow blades instead of his feet.

It was not because being kicked made Farfetch’d feel that Gallade did not respect him.

Rather, the elbow blades represented Gallade’s strongest attack.

Farfetch’d wanted Gallade to use his full strength against him.

Gallade froze.

He did not understand why Farfetch’d wanted him to use full strength.

"Gallade!"

But since it was Farfetch’d’s request, naturally, he would agree.

On the fourteenth time, Farfetch’d used Fury Cutter to attack Gallade.

Gallade also responded with Fury Cutter.

The first slash knocked aside the leek.

The second and third slashes continuously cut across Farfetch’d’s chest.

Several feathers flew, and Farfetch’d also fell among the rocks.

This time, Farfetch’d tightly gripped his leek and did not let go.

As a knight, he absolutely could not lose his weapon.

Gallade continued running.

Farfetch’d once again supported himself with his leek and appeared in front of Gallade.

Even though he had already begun panting heavily, Farfetch’d’s eyes remained exceptionally firm.

Farfetch’d’s spirit moved Gallade.

Gallade took the initiative to light up Psycho Cut. Passing through Farfetch’d’s Brick Break, he cut Farfetch’d flying with one blade.

Farfetch’d lay on the ground, staring up at the white lights of the battlefield, feeling the burning pain in his chest as he breathed deeply and adjusted his condition.

Only after a long while did he use his leek to support himself and stagger upright.

This time, Farfetch’d could no longer appear in front of Gallade on his own initiative.

He could only grip his leek tightly and wait for Gallade to run over.

Seeing that Farfetch’d was already like a candle in the wind yet still wanted to fight, Gallade could not understand.

It was just a training session.

Was there any need for Farfetch’d to go this far?

Gallade’s blade...

Unconsciously hesitated.

And in Farfetch’d’s eyes, a light flashed. He seized this fleeting opportunity.

The leek shone with yellow-green light and struck Gallade fiercely.

Fury Cutter.

The first hit left Gallade wide open.

A critical hit!

Farfetch’d turned and struck again with Fury Cutter.

Another critical hit!

Farfetch’d gritted his teeth and swung the leek for the final slash.

Still...

A critical hit!

The immense force made Gallade stagger back several steps, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Farfetch’d...

After being hit by him so many times, already like a candle in the wind, still had the strength to launch such an attack against him.

And those three strikes just now were precise, subtle, and painful, completely surpassing Farfetch’d’s usual level.

Gallade seemed to have sensed Farfetch’d’s spirit and will through those attacks.

Farfetch’d, what exactly is supporting your body and allowing you to launch such an attack?

In Gallade’s shock, Farfetch’d, who was half-kneeling on the ground, lit up with white light.

This was...

Evolution!

Gallade was even more shocked. He had not expected Farfetch’d to evolve because of a single training session.

The leek in Farfetch’d’s hands split apart.

The white stalk became a longsword, while the leaves became a shield.

His feathers turned pure white, and his gaze was sharp like that of a proud knight.

Sirfetch’d, here to pay homage!
