Chapter 127 - 127: Training and Journey
After all the Pokémon finished breakfast, Cain assigned them their morning training tasks.
"The day's planning begins in the morning," a phrase that is sometimes more than just a saying. Cain discovered that morning training for Pokémon tends to be the most effective of all times of the day.
Since they were by the lake, Slowpoke did not go through its usual psychic power training.
Although its skill in Water-type moves is slightly weaker than its skill in Psychic-type moves, it is still an important ability that needs to be mastered, at least so that it doesn't become a weakness.
Slowpoke entered the water to train in managing Water-type energy.
On the other hand, Murkrow was assigned physical training. It usually carried a 15 kg weight, which allowed it to stay in good shape with continuous training. However, this weight was not overly burdensome.
For this reason, Cain increased the weight to 20 kg during its physical training, which would further improve its results.
Murkrow's task today was to fly back and forth along the edge of the lake, with each lap covering a distance of about 1000 meters. In total, it had to complete twenty laps.
For Miltank, Cain prepared a weighted vest and had her run on a pebble beach near the lake. As the pebbles are slippery and uneven, Miltank was not only training her physical endurance but also her balance and body control.
