"Bulbasaur, use Tackle!"
Kenji saw Weedle dodge the Vine Whip, immediately issuing new instructions.
But clearly he didn't take into account that Bulbasaur couldn't even hit Weedle with Vine Whip, how could he possibly hit it with a normal attack?
"Weedle, String Shot, aim for his eyes," Natsu ordered.
Weedle also became more relaxed after realizing that Bulbasaur was not as strong as he thought.
Wss--
A mass of brilliant white silk threads shot out, instantly sticking between Bulbasaur's eyes, blocking his vision.
"Bulbaa!!"
His vision suddenly became blurred, and Bulbasaur panicked, and his attack stopped.
"Bulbasaur!"
Kenji panicked a little, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
This is the lack of combat experience, and the lack of flexibility of the Trainer.
Of course, it was also because Bulbasaur's training was so inadequate that its speed was too slow, and it was very easy to be hit by Weedle's shots.
"Finish him."
Then white silk threads continued to come out of Weedle's mouth, circle after circle, Turning Bulbasaur into garlic.
"Bulbaa."
Bulbasaur, whose head was only exposed and couldn't see clearly, could only ask for help.
"Stop! Stop!" Kenji shouted quickly, running to Bulbasaur's side at a fast pace, reaching out to remove the silk threads on its body, but he too was caught by the sticky threads.
"It's no use for you, Weedle, come help"
Natsu stepped forward and called Weedle.
Weedle's tail got caught on the silk thread, and the silk thread layer broke, and Bulbasaur was finally saved.
Kenji hugged Bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur, are you okay?"
"Bulba." Bulbasaur shook his head, looking at Weedle with a look of awe and fear.
Weedle raised his head "proudly" like a general returning from victory.
"Your battle experience is almost zero, and your command in battle is also not flexible. In fact, Bulbasaur is not weak, and my Weedle is not that strong. In a normal battle, we would probably lose more."
Natsu explained honestly.
"Wee?" Weedle was a little unsure when Natsu said he was inferior to Bulbasaur.
Natsu reached out and touched his back, "Don't be so quick to deny it, isn't our goal here to challenge the impossible and make you stronger? Only by recognizing your own shortcomings can you become better."
Weedle, who defeated Rattata and Bulbasaur in succession, was a little overconfident.
Natsu as a trainer must explain to him that he should not be too arrogant.
Self-confidence is a good thing, but blind self-confidence is the opposite.
"Wee" Weedle lowered his head, looking surprised.
But he recovered quickly.
He felt that Natsu was right, the reason they came here was to become stronger, to admit that others were stronger than them, and nothing was unacceptable.
Natsu looked satisfied as he touched Weedle's back.
Kenji next to him watched him comfort Weedle with an expression hesitant to speak.
Seeing his expression, Natsu said: "According to club rules, you still have 50 minutes, do you need to continue the fight?"
Each sparring partner in the club is If billed by time, each hour will be charged separately, and anything less than an hour will also count as one hour.
"I.." Kenji opened his mouth.
Natsu's statement not only destroyed Weedle's confidence, but also gave him a hard blow.
It turns out that Bulbasaur lost the fight because he was still new to being a Trainer.
"Actually, you have learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, which should cover fighting and training. What you lack is accumulating experience, and you need to have sufficient knowledge about your own Pokémon," Natsu said again.
"How do you know more about your Pokemon?" Kenji blinked and asked curiously.
"Training, training, have you trained your Bulbasaur?"
"No, I just brought him home from the Trainer's building yesterday," Kenji said.
"That's it, Bulbasaur has very high potential, train hard and you will find the difference."
Almost as Natsu had expected.
"Then how do you train? Your Weedle is very strong."
Losing a fight was nothing, but losing to Weedle made him feel extremely frustrated.
"I see, do you want to turn the fight into a sparring match?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.
It was only today that we started looking for a job, and neither Weedle nor him had practiced. We thought we wouldn't have a chance today, but I didn't expect there would be time to make money and practice at the same time.
The club also offers this service, sparring training.
"Yes." Kenji nodded.
"Alright." Natsu put Weedle back on the ground, "Weedle, then, let's make up for the training we missed today."
"Weee!!" Weedle was in great spirits.
After being told by Natsu earlier that he wasn't as great as Bulbasaur, he also wanted to get stronger faster.
Clap the hands.
Natsu took off his ill-fitting clothes, revealing his skinny, scarred upper body.
Kenji was speechless when he saw the scars on Natsu's body.
"We will train, you can follow us if you want, and if you have any questions, you can ask me, maybe I can give you some answers."
Finished.
Weedle's training begins.
Because it is in the club training room, all kinds of professional training equipment can be used, which is more effective than training on the field.
Of course, it's also more tiring.
Every time Weedle sees Natsu's tenacity, he too can grit his teeth and persevere.
And Kenji also took Bulbasaur to do some tentative training. After a little imitation, he immediately felt that the training was not easy.
At the same time, he would sometimes ask questions, and Natsu would try to give some answers that might not be standard but definitely had evidence.
Quick.
One hour of debate time has passed.
As the bell rang in the training room, Kenji waved his hand and stopped Natsu and Weedle again for three hours.
Don't blink.
Highlighting a courage.
This way, it also gives Natsu and Weedle the opportunity and time to complete today's training.
three hours later.
Kenji who had been talking a lot actually defeated Natsu and Weedle, not because they defeated him, but because of their hard work.
Those who work hard are to be admired.
Meanwhile, Natsu also gets his first loyal client at the Silph Pokémon Battle Club.
"This time I have gained a lot. I will repay you next time. I will go back and tell some of my classmates so that they all come to study."
Watching Kenji in the hall go.
He can earn money and train at the same time.
It feels good.
Anna who was next to him poked his arm curiously, "That's amazing, Natsu, you already have a loyal customer on your first day. It seems like he'll keep introducing you to those customers."
"Lucky." Natsu smiled as he hugged Weedle who was exhausted after training.
Anna pouted.
In her heart, she reaffirmed her assessment of Natsu, "a lucky person".
This time was really lucky.
Because according to her, the most common reason for sparring clubs to disband is because the club's Pokemon are destroyed during battle.
One of the reasons many people come to clubs is to vent their frustrations, so they won't take into account the importance of starting.
With Weedle's body, she didn't think Natsu would last more than a few days.
"Here, this is your reward for this fight," she said as she handed over some Alliance coins.
"That much?" Natsu was a little surprised, took the money and counted it, and it turned out to be 320 poke.
Anna rolled her eyes, "You are a Primary Level sparring participant, and the fee is 400 per session, which means 80 per hour, 320 for 4 hours, and will be paid immediately after the sparring is over."
Sure enough, those who can become members of the Silph Pokémon Battle Club are not ordinary rich people.
Natsu worries that Kenji's allowance for a month at school is several times his salary.
"Thank you." Natsu thanked him. The only thing he needed right now was money.
"By the way, I'm curious, how much does one intermediate level sparring session cost?"
"The Intermediate level is twice your level, the Top level is four times your level, and the extra level is ten times your level, and the johto is different for each level. Of course, there are higher ones, but I don't know too much." Anna shrugged.
Wah.
"Then how do I increase the Level?"
"The number of members and your strength, I don't know specifically, this is all the director's responsibility, after all it's not easy."
Natsu nodded, thanked her again, and took Weedle back to the room to rest.
