Chapter 12: The Five Meters That Give the Elf a Sense of Security

"Circle in circles."

Li Xiang stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Firemeow's head.

"Meow~"

Spotted Meow let out a low cry, obediently did so, and after turning in a circle, he squatted in front of Li Xiang, looking at him with burning eyes.

"Well done!"

Li Xiang smiled and scratched Firespot's chin lightly, and handed over the elf food that had been prepared for a long time in his other hand.

Pokemon often need verbal encouragement and practical rewards, which are somewhat similar to the training of cats and dogs in previous lives, but they are not quite the same.

Because when the elves grow up, they can really understand what you're talking about.

But the cats and dogs in the previous life can generally only understand your tone rather than your words, and you say it softly, and it thinks you are expressing love.

Of course, there is an example of everything.

In addition, when the elf's emotional system is enriched, the desire will also increase.

Otherwise only food and a safe place might have been sufficient.

After that, there may be more requirements, the so-called spiritual needs after the material needs are satisfied, and the self-realization needs after the spiritual needs are satisfied, etc.

Classic Maslow's theory.

And Li Xiang went through a simple test and found that Spotted Meow could only have a superficial understanding of his words.

According to the manual given to him by the breeding base, Spotted Meow can't understand too detailed orders at the moment, and what specific orders are trained, are written on it.

In addition, some commands should be coordinated with the action.

For example, something like "Use the spark!" And: "Dodge to the left and use sparks!" Obviously it means two things, but it is very likely that the latter and the former are mistakenly equated.

So as to use [spark] directly.

Instructions require a long time of practice, and I can't rush them for a while.

But if you have a pokemon in your home who are always familiar with such commands, you can greatly reduce the process.

- Dong Shi Meow.

Li Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, is there a better teacher than this hard-mouthed and soft-hearted big fat cat?

Super Miao Meow practices closed-mouth meditation all day long, which is obviously not suitable for teaching juniors.

There are only plant lovers in the eyes of the flower therapy ring, and they can't mix with the cats.

"Let's go downstairs and train while it's still early, shall we?"

Li Xiang shook the lollipop in his hand, and Spotted Meow's gaze slowly moved with the lollipop.

Reason told it that it could not pounce, and the trainer did not give the order.

But the scent of catnip in the air has successfully aroused the fire in the heart of the fire meow.

“——!!!”

Spotted Meow turned her head violently, not letting herself look at it, as if she could just stop care.

Seeing this, Li Xiang couldn't help but rejoice: "The young man's willpower is okay!" I thought you couldn't help it. ”

When a creature craves something too much, that thing becomes its weakness.

In a state where fire spotted meow can react to catnip, it does not obey its physical desires, but endures it.

The superiority of his talent can be seen.

Thinking of this, Li wanted to put away the lollipop and put it in his pocket.

"Let's go downstairs."

He waved to Firemeth and reflexively went downstairs.

"Meow ......"

Firespotted Meow sniffed the smell of catnip in the air and followed.

……

Downstairs.

Li wanted to wake up Dong Shi Meow and ask it to help.

Boss Dong Shi Meow was not happy, but he still climbed down from the sofa that was sunken by him and followed him to the side of Fire Meow.

"Meow~"

Spotted Meow smiled and greeted Dong Shi Meow, and after the events of the morning, it was no longer afraid of this fat cat, which was not many times its size.

Pixies are always extremely sensitive to good intentions.

Like it, it's the best of the bunch.

Its cold-hearted and hot-hearted character, or fire spotted meow, although it is the first contact, is perfectly acceptable.

Dong Shi Meow was silent, and nodded quite coldly, with an expression of understanding.

In terms of duplicity, this guy can always do it to the extreme.

Come to the backyard.

Ignore the lush shrubs that surround the fence, and the huge fruit trees that are close to the fence.

A standard small venue of ten by six size, divided by white lines, caught Li Xiang's eye.

There are a lot of targets and equipment on the field, and there are rollers to assist in moving, so he can easily push and walk a small child.

This was built by Li Zhehan and is usually used to train elves such as strong crocodiles.

Father Li, like most boys, likes elf battles very much, and he often takes Li Xiang to the public places in the nearby parks.

Either go up on your own, or stand on the side and watch.

When he won, even if Ms. Yin scolded him, he was happy and not angry at all. But if he loses, he will smoke silently, his face full of melancholy, and he needs Ms. Yin's comfort.

Lee wants to be a professional trainer, and he's always been the one who raises his hands and feet in favor.

Ms. Yin's ideological work was also done by him.

Back then, for the sake of his family and Ms. Yin, as well as Li Xiang in Ms. Yin's belly, Li Zhehan gave up the idea of going to a professional trainer college for further study.

turned to run a boat and went to be a seafarer, for Yin Tao to continue studying, and for Li Xiang's milk powder money.

So much so that up to now, he is still just an ordinary level trainer, and he has not even played a few games in the ranking of the association.

Li Xiang can be said to have placed his long-cherished wish to become a powerful trainer and go to a college for further study.

……

"It's so hot......"

The summer in Qingcheng is very hot, and there is no central air conditioning outside, working tirelessly, like a big steamer, giving Li Xiang a head-to-toe outdoor sauna.

He had only been there for less than a minute, and the sweat was soaking his back and beads of sweat on his forehead were slowly running down his cheeks.

The expressions of Dong Shi Meow and Fire Spotted Meow remain the same, one of them has a strong physique, the other is not afraid of heat, and even hopes that the sun will be more violent, and when they are directly irradiated by the sun, they also show a little enjoyment of the expression.

Most of the fire-type elves have a soft spot for the sun, and the hot climate is also suitable for them to survive.

In addition, the summer sun has the effect of increasing the power of fire-type moves.

Yes, you heard it right.

Summer: A realistic version of a sunny day with a weather bonus!

This setting may never be mentioned in the game, but in reality, the impact of environmental factors on some pokemon is indeed a bit large.

The Pokemon's combat power will also fluctuate up and down.

The so-called winter is only promised, and you are extremely weak. Summer strikes hard and is invincible.

It may be an exaggeration to say this, but it is a fact that the environment affects the power of the elves.

Except for the mythical beasts, no elf can adapt to all the environments.

Dong Shi Meow ran under the fruit tree and took a nap on his stomach, planning to ask Li Xiang to call it over again.

Spotted Meow ran to Li Xiang's feet.

"Sweat more, bleed less during the race!"

Li Xiang babbled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and resisted the desire to escape back to the air-conditioned room.

Hot and dry weather can make people feel depressed, have reduced concentration, and risk heat stroke.

But trainers who can't endure hardship often can't go far.

While having talent, it also requires a lot of experience and experience, and the energy level is not something that will rise on its own after eating and drinking.

Li Xiang knows this truth very well.

After obtaining the Fire Meow, his physical fitness training must also begin.

There are exactly two months left before the start of the Basic Trainer Academy, and I hope to get a good workout.

"Come, come, stand here."

Li Xiang beckoned to Spotted Meow, and directly opposite him was a one-man tall soft target made of composite materials.

The strength of this material is very high, and it is used in the professional venues within the association, but it is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Even Li Zhehan was only willing to buy the target, rather than using it to build a site.

Spotted Meow has seen this thing, and it usually uses it when it is seriously testing and training moves.

It stood in the place Li Xiang had designated, turned its head to look at him eagerly, and waited for instructions.

Trainer instructions often need to be concise.

Because there is no time stop in the animation in reality, you talk too much, and the elf's reaction time is not enough, and the opportunity is likely to be snatched away by the opponent.

At least at the lower end of the game, that's mostly the case.

"Let's start with the basics, Spark!"

Li Xiang stood on the oblique side of the fire meow and pointed to the target two meters away.

The move has an effective range similar to that of a firearm. A move like Spark is a typical short-range move, but if you change it to [Flame Jet], the range will be relatively long.

"Meow!"

The fire spot meowed open, the hair on his back suddenly turned red and exploded, and a fireball about the size of a fist flew out, hitting the target with a bang!

Mars splash!

Li Xiang was startled by the Martian Zi who jumped in front of him, and hurriedly took a few steps back honestly, and praised Fire Meow: "Good job!" ”

"Meow!"

Spotted Meow responds with a smile.

Most of the trainers in this world need to "fight side by side" with their own pokemon and can't get too far away from it.

Roughly similar to the situation in the special article.

It's not the kind in the animation, standing ten meters and twenty meters away, it's the same as watching the whole game from God's point of view, you can see any tiny details, and even the things in the blind corners are clear.

The sound comes with a loudspeaker, and even the sound of explosions can be covered by the past.

You stand so far away, rain and sandstorms reduce the visibility of your sight, how do you command?

The smoke from the explosion shrouded the elves, how do you tell where they are?

When your vision is obscured by your elf, how do you judge the moves used by the opposing elf?

When you see it later, you react:

"Ahh He used ghost fire/electromagnetic waves/trick space! ”

At that time, everyone played all the moves!

The audience who doesn't know still thinks you're sleepwalking, so the key move is to stand and watch stupidly!

Therefore.

Trainers tend to stand diagonally behind their pokemon, no more, no less—five meters.

These five meters are also known as the [five meters distance between life and death].

If you get closer, you may be affected by the move. Far away, it is easy to be affected by special situations on the field, etc.

There is one more crucial factor.

- Fight alongside your own elves.

Elves are extraordinary beings with rich emotions, they have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and they will feel pain when they are hit by moves, and they will also think about whether to give up.

But if you can be by its side, fight side by side with it, give it timely encouragement, and have firm faith for it.

It will forget the pain in its body, strengthen its will, risk its own life, and win for you, win honor, and win everything you want!

Even if he is scarred and painful, even if he is exhausted to get up, even if he struggles to the last moment, he stands directly and loses consciousness.

The elves will always be such a simple and incredible life.
