Axel had gotten a beginner swordsmanship manual from Mark. It was called 'Heaven's Fall'. Even though it was a beginner version, it was hard to master all of it and he had still not been able to do so.
Now, Red wanted him to master it in a month.
"Red, even though I train for 24 hours, I don't think that I could do it.", said Axel.
"Oh, don't worry. You will reach there. You just don't have to give up. That is all I want from you. I will train you personally.", said Red making a fist and checking his knuckles.
"You don't have to fear. I am capable of controlling my strength and you would not die from it.", said Red with a smile.
"Now, the best thing that you can get out of this training is about aura. By the time that league battle starts, I want you to unlock your psychic powers too. For that to happen, you would have to master aura to a certain level and you are very far from that now.
The rate of training speed would increase if you have someone who can train you in the aura. I could personally intervene and point out all the mistakes and give you suggestions. That would help you a lot.
Let's start with a warm-up. The most effective warm-up is running as it would focus on all of your body parts.
So, give me 100 laps from the start of your home to the end of your training ground. You will circle it 100 times."
Axel was starting to regret this. He regretted asking Red to train him. His house covered a big land and there was the training ground at the back of his house. Red wanted him to circle his house and the training ground 100 times and this was just a warm-up?
How could that be called a warm-up? 1 lap around the house and training ground was around 5 km. So, he had to run for 500 km. He had never run such a long distance in his entire life. But he also knew that complaining was not something the future Pokemon master would do.
Red was sacrificing his family time and his own time to train him. The least he could do was follow the training plan.
###
So, he started to run. He didn't speed up cause he knew that he needed to complete 100 laps. He started jogging and the speed was average. Red didn't complain and started to make calls, and plans for the training ground project.
He was told that he should not stop even for a second. That was the condition for warm-up.
He used a stamina-increasing plan where he would walk for 1 minute and jog for another minute and continue it. He had learned that this would increase the stamina in his previous world. He had followed his routine in the past too and it had given him good results.
It had been 2 hours and he only completed 6 laps. Axel was huffing and puffing and he didn't stop.
4 hours and now he was just walking. He was told not to stop but was not told that he had to run all the time.
6 hours and 20 laps later he fell to the ground. He was unconscious and fainted.
Red went near him and picked him and took him to the bedroom. Axel's mother was very worried about him but Red told her that he knew what he was doing and her son would be fine.
20 laps was 100 km. Axel had never jogged 100 km before. This was a milestone.
###
He woke up in the evening and saw some notifications:
---
Ding!
Due to continuous training, Host's strength has increased by 5
Due to continuous training, Host's agility has increased by 10
Due to continuous training, Host's Aura has increased by 3
Due to continuous training, Host's Health has increased by 15
---
All of his body stats had increased and even his aura had increased. He didn't know that his aura would also increase after physical training.
He was happy about it.
He got out of bed and realized that his legs were ringing with pain. His legs had become hard as steel. Feeling the pain, he walked slowly downstairs and saw that Red was writing something.
"So, you woke up huh? How do you feel?"
"Every part of my body is paining and it is even difficult to breathe.", said Axel.
His face was not looking good. His mother came and offered him to soak his legs with warm water. This was a homemade remedy to get rid of the pain.
"Take your mother's advice and rest for today. We will start the same thing tomorrow."
"We are not training today?", asked Axel.
"Haha, I am impressed that you have not given up. You have a strong mentality. But no.
You see, we humans get stronger, not by training so hard but by resting after training so hard. You must have seen that some of your stats have risen."
Axel nodded his head.
"It would rise some more when your muscles and bones relax even more but that doesn't mean that you would rest for 2-3 days until you are perfectly okay.
Your body needs to know that it is going to face hardship now and even if you are not completely okay, this would raise your mental strength and also your physical strength. However, it needs to be properly calculated as you also need to rest to let your body recover.
Now take a hot bath and soak your feet and body with warm water. You should be ready to train tomorrow morning."
###
Next day,
His body was still aching but it was much better than before. His health and strength also increased after his body was more relaxed. Red was right about this.
Axel was determined to complete at least 25 laps today and he would not faint until he did so.
"Axel, before you start, I have compiled all the data for the training ground."
Red also inserted his ideas and insights into it. Red and also compiled all the ideas and data from Oak, Mark, and Lance's family.
"In total, I have decided to create 30 training grounds. Look at all the details.
Axel looked and read all the details and it was thoroughly researched. Axel thought if he had any other ideas but none came to mind cause all of his ideas were also incorporated into the plan."
"How much would it cost?"
"I have called all the suppliers related to this and projected the cost. It would cost around 4 trillion Poke dollars."
"That is a lot!!!", said Axel.
He had around 1 trillion which was given to him by Oak. He had thought that the cost would at most be around 3 trillion Poke dollars. At that cost, he, Venu's family, and Lance's family would divide the cost equally and all of them would get equal share. Now where was he going to take out another 1 trillion Poke dollars?
He didn't want others to have higher contributions cause he was thinking of buying their share in the future.
He told his investment plan to Red.
"So, you are short of 1 trillion Poke dollars. Don't worry, I would invest that 1 trillion. I must say that these plans are very well designed and are very scientific. When Ash grows up, he could train his Pokemons here.", said Red.
"That is a great idea. Thanks, Red."
"No need to thank me. I am also thinking for my son and his future."
"How much time would it take to complete all of it?", asked Axel.
"I am sorry to say Axel, but it would take more than a month to complete all this. Around 3-4 months.", said Red.
"Oh, I thought to train my Pokemons in the training ground after a month.", sighed Axel.
"You could still do that. We will first prioritize the training grounds suitable for your Pokemons. I think it would be completed in a month or 2.", said Red.
"That is also a great idea. Let me call Angela and Lance for the money. I would also tell them about the progress.", said Axel and started to call.
###
After 30 minutes,
"They have agreed on all of it and will be sending the money to my account soon. I will send you all the money and you can concentrate on the training ground.", said Axel.
"We still need to think about the land. I looked around. Hakone City doesn't have such a huge amount of free land. Have you talked to the Pokemons in the forest?", asked Red.
Since there was no land in the city for such a big project, they thought to cut down some trees and make it there. The forest was owned by Axel so there was no problem.
However, when Alakazam went there to discuss it, Slowbro and others didn't agree with it. Who would want their forest to be destroyed? Slowbro told Alakazam that it wanted to meet Axel personally.
"I think that I have to make a trip there. I can't prolong it for very long.", said Axel.
"You are right. Go there and we will start your training by afternoon.", said Red.
Axel called out Pidgeot and flew towards the forest. It was now strong enough to hold Axel on its back. He also took Alakazam with him for safety and for communication.
###
'Welcome Axel, it has been a long time since we have met you.', said Slowbro. It was in a happy mood. Axel had exchanged the resources with the resources from the forest.
He had also helped the soldiers in the city and now he had also sold some of the resources for money. The money was already finalized and Axel would be getting 15 billion Poke dollars after a week.
The Pokemons in the forest were also very happy. They have started to advance in ranks due to Axel's talent and Slowbro was now a pseudo-king rank Pokemon.
Most of the Pokemons in the forest had ranked up to elemental rank and Slowbro was very happy with such progress.
"Thanks for the welcome. I see that you guys have started to become powerful.", said Axel.
'Yes, it is all due to you and we are grateful for it. That deal might be the most profitable deal I have made in my life.', said Slowbro.
"Thanks, you see I am planning to make a lot of training grounds and there is not enough land in the city to make them. Light must have told you about it."
'Yes, I heard that. However, I don't feel good cutting down my home. First of all, how much forest would you cut? And why would we agree to it? I don't think that it would help me and my friends.', said Slowbro.
"Why would that not help you? You guys could also go there to train. However, I must make a rule that only elemental rank and above Pokemons could go there and we have to control that traffic.
All of you know that trained Pokemons by humans are more powerful than wild Pokemons. That is cause humans have studied a lot on how to make Pokemons stronger.
These training grounds are the product of years and years of study on Pokemon biology and how to make them stronger. Don't you and your friends want to be strong too?", asked Axel.
Slowbro then started to talk to its friends and discuss quietly. After some time, it asked, 'You still had not told me how much of a forest that it would take to make these training grounds?'
"Only 5% each. 5% from the east side of the forest and 5% from the west side of the forest."
'Then we agree. I am taking on limb here and trusting you again. Don't disappoint me Axel.', said Slowbro.
"Oh, you won't be disappointed. I will make sure of that. After a few days, I will come here and mark the area where we would cut the trees. You guys would have ample time to move.", said Axel and shook hands with Slowbro.
The deal had been made and now it was time to make these training grounds.
###
"That Slowbro is very wise. It didn't even hesitate. Normally Pokemons are very protective of their lands. You are lucky.", said Red.
He had half expected the deal to go very wrong. He was ready to intervene and make them submit but it seemed that he didn't need to.
Axel started to jog. Today he was going to complete 25 laps. That was his target. He was not in a hurry. His legs were still aching but he would carry on.
After 2 hours, he had completed 7 laps.
After 4 hours, he did a total of 15 laps.
After 6 hours, he did a total of 21 laps.
After 7 hours, he did a total of 23 laps and then he fainted again.
###
He woke up at night. He had completed 15 more km than yesterday. That was a huge improvement. He went to the kitchen to get some food cause he was feeling very hungry right now.
"You improved from yesterday. That is good. How are you feeling right now?", asked Red.
He was feeling worse than before. Isn't the pain supposed to lessen? Why was he feeling more pain?
"Don't worry it may take a week or 2 for you to feel no pain from this exercise. We are not going to train in other things until you complete 100 laps and remember you have only a month to master the beginner's manual of 'Heaven's Fall'.
Axel was now feeling pressure from his training. Is that what his Pokemon felt when he gave them time to complete it?
Axel made a mental note to complete the warm-up exercise within 15 days. He wanted to complete it sooner but it would be unrealistic to imagine that he would do it in 10 days.
After 15 days, he would completely focus on training with his sword.
###
"Arron, do you think that our kid is alright? I mean he is training till he faints. I am getting worried.", said his mother to his father.
"Don't worry, he is doing alright.", replied his uncle, Noah.
"Are you sure brother?"
"Yes, I am sure. The human body is not so fragile that it would break so easily. Axel is in his prime and he is being trained by Red. You guys should thank the gods for your luck that your son is being trained by Red.
Red is a professional. I can see that he cares about Axel, so he would not do anything that would harm him. I suggest that we buy some medicinal herbs for Axel so that he can take maximum benefit from this exercise.
He buys all the things for his Pokemons but not himself. He is really a stupid child."
After hearing from Noah, both of them agreed to help Axel train his body better. Mr. Arron made some calls and brought some medicinal herbs for Axel.
