The next day, the atmosphere at Yang Chen's farm felt calm. Yang Xiaolin has returned to the Pokemon Alliance China after ensuring that Articuno is safe at Yang Chen's farm. Yang Chen and his family, who are now enjoying breakfast together, look cheerful. Yang Xiaoyi, their 8-year-old daughter, was just taken to school by Yang Chen and Dilraba.
Before starting the day, Yang Chen decided to check on the condition of Articuno on the mountain behind his farm. The place, which is always snowy year-round, became an ideal spot for Articuno to rest and adapt. Yang Chen had anticipated that Articuno would need time to adjust to its new environment, but he also knew that this legendary Pokémon had extraordinary potential.
After finishing breakfast, Yang Chen stepped out of the house, followed by his loyal Lucario. They headed towards the mountain behind the farm, where Articuno now resided. The cold wind blowing gently welcomed their arrival, bringing the fresh scent of the snow spread across the mountain.
In the midst of the vast snowy field, Articuno appeared to stand calmly. The Pokémon was still at level 110, and although it had just been captured and brought to this place, the aura of power it possessed was undeniable. Yang Chen stood a few steps in front of Articuno, observing it closely.
Without using the Pokedex, Yang Chen could already sense Articuno's extraordinary power. Articuno might still be at level 110, but he can sense that there is great potential within him. The focus now is to help Articuno develop further, so it can be ready to face greater threats in the future.
Yang Chen said, "Articuno, we will start training. I want to see how far your abilities go. "Get ready."
Lucario, who was beside him, signaled that he was ready to help with the training. Yang Chen had prepared some of his Pokémon, all at level 150, to train with Articuno. These Pokémon were strong opponents, and Yang Chen knew that by training with them, Articuno could grow faster.
Articuno seemed to understand Yang Chen's intentions, although there was still a hint of doubt in its eyes. However, after a few seconds, it nodded calmly, ready to accept the challenge.
Yang Chen instructed Lucario to begin the training. Lucario immediately moved forward, using Aura Sphere to test Articuno's reaction. The Aura Sphere attack, a blue energy ball, flew quickly towards Articuno, but with incredible speed, Articuno dodged and flew into the air, using its flying ability to avoid the attack.
Yang Chen observed carefully, knowing that Articuno had an advantage in speed and extraordinary endurance. However, he also knew that this training was not just about evasion, but more about testing Articuno's resilience and ability to withstand stronger attacks.
After several rounds of attacks and evasive maneuvers, Yang Chen decided to use another Pokémon. He sent out Dragonite, which was at level 150, to continue the training. Dragonite immediately soared into the air, unleashing a powerful Outrage attack, sending a wave of energy that could test Articuno's defenses.
Articuno quickly used Ice Beam, shooting a blue beam of ice that froze the surrounding air. Ice Beam met Outrage, creating a massive explosion in the air. Although Articuno appeared to be struggling, it managed to endure with full dedication, trying to match the power of Dragonite's attack.
Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Articuno had already started to show extraordinary endurance, although there were still many things to learn.
The training continued with increasing intensity. Each of Yang Chen's Pokémon at level 150 took turns training against Articuno. Yang Chen continued to monitor closely, assessing every move of Articuno and identifying the potential present.
Articuno, although at a lower level, began to show signs that it could withstand powerful Pokémon at higher levels. Its incredible flying speed, ability to unleash powerful ice attacks, and resilience in facing attacks made Yang Chen increasingly confident that Articuno could become a great force in the future.
After several hours of intense training, Yang Chen decided to end the session. Articuno looked exhausted yet satisfied, while Lucario and the other Pokémon also appeared tired but full of spirit.
Yang Chen said, "You have shown extraordinary abilities, Articuno. But we still have a lot of work to do." Let's keep training together."
With a sense of pride, Yang Chen patted Articuno, who now looked calmer and more confident. Articuno nodded as if understanding that this training was just the first step of a long journey it had to undertake.
As the sun began to set behind the mountains, Yang Chen looked ahead, knowing that the threat from Team Galaxy and other challenges still awaited. However, he is confident that with proper training and preparation, they will be ready to face whatever comes.
