"Bzzt! bzzt!~"

  The enthusiastic Elekid eagerly approached, attempting to recruit allies.

  "Gib~"

  The Gible curiously studied the Vulpix with friendly eyes, greeting it warmly.

  "Vul~"

  With a flick of its tail as a simple greeting, the Vulpix proudly trotted over to Paul's side, rubbing against his leg affeately.

  "Let’s get started with training."

  "Elekid, Gible, the two of you will battle Ursaring together. Engage in direbat while minimizing injuries as much as possible."

  "Elekid, focus on training Thunder Pund Mag Rise. Work on increasing both the power and trol of your moves."

  "Gible, use Dragon d Fire Fang as much as possible—try to avoid using Dig."

  "Ursaring, focus on tanking the damage with minimal injury while terattag effectively."

  After setting the goals, Paul equipped Gible with a forced training equipment ahe Pokémon off to train.

  As the training began, Blissey as usual, oversaw the training area.

  Uhe effect of gravity, Elekid’s attempts to use Mag Rise to float were an obvious challenge, but Paul insisted to overe the limitations imposed by gravity.

  Fible, however, its form and move set made it seem ineffit to focus on any specialized training. Paul decided the most straightforward training to improve its overall strength that would suffice.

  In Paul’s eyes, endurance aramount for any Pokémon. A durable Pokémon had a higher margin for error itle.

  Especially fible, with its Rough Skin ability, trading damage with oppos of equal strength would always be a gain.

  Afterward, Paul po send Gible back to the nursery, where Reggie and other breeders could teach it some universally useful moves—like Dragon Dance, which it couldn't learn in the games.

  As for Ursaring, there wasn’t much to say. Paul would send it back to the er to learn a few more moves, as it struggled against fast and agile oppos.

  After assigning the tasks to others, Paul turned his attention to the little Vulpix pying with its tail at his feet.

  "Vul~"

  Notig Paul’s gaze, the Vulpix raised its head, letting out aic cry.

  "Follow me."

  Paul nodded ahe Vulpix into the gravity field, drawing a line near its edge.

  "Pay close attention ahe difference here pared to outside."

  "Vul~"

  Feeling the u oddly familiar gravity, the Vulpix twitched its body curiously, repeatedly testing the boundary of the gravitational field.

  Perhaps due to its youthful vigor, the newborn Vulpix seemed to find the experience fasating, going bad forth along the boundary.

  " you sense any differences between here and the other side?"

  After a while, Paul asked.

  "Vul..."

  The Vulpix instinctively nodded but theated and shook its head.

  "It might not look different, but the gravity here is pletely altered."

  "Blissey, try teag Vulpix how to use the move Gravity. Help it grasp the cept."

  Paul called over Blissey, who happily agreed and began expining the meics of the move to Vulpix.

  "Blissey~"

  The newborn Vulpix could never have anticipated that it would be learning its first move on the very day it was born—and a move as "useless" as Gravity.

  While Blissey expined under Paul’s dire, it adjusted the gravity’s iy, making it easier for Vulpix to feel the strange, unique force.

  This mysterious power left the young Vulpix in awe.

  "Gravity is just one application of psychiergy. The fact that you sense my mental waves indicates you have strong psychic potential. You definitely master this move—just keep trying."

  Paul offered an encing remark.

  In the Pokémon world, most Pokémon accessed special powers passively. Abilities like mental waves or Aura were often difficult to detect, even for those adept at wielding them.

  For example, Ash’s newly hatched Riolu couldn’t dis his Aura until Ash actively released it.

  Yet Vulpix, even before birth, had emitted mental waves aablished a e with Paul—a feat proving its exceptional talent.

  "Vul~"

  Bolstered by Paul’s encement, the Vulpix fidently began practig under Blissey’s guidance.

  Owice... ten times...

  After several attempts, the Vulpix paused, its amber eyes refleg signs of fatigue and boredom.

  For a newborn Pokémon, the fact that it obediently attempted to learn a move at all was already impressive. Patience, however, was another matter entirely.

  Seeing this, Paul didn’t push further. For a Pokémon that had just been born, it was necessary to lower expectations appropriately.

  After all, even a top-tier ales wouldn’t master Gravity in a short time.

  With plenty of training projects in mind, Paul simply decided to switch tasks. His gaze nded on Ursaring, who was being kited by Gible and Elekid.

  "Vulpix, use Ember on Ursaring."

  "Vul?"

  The Vulpix tilted its head, unsure about attag a teammate.

  However, seeing the other Pokémon engaged in battle, it found the idea intriguing and couldn’t resist joining in.

  Opening its mouth, the Vulpix unleashed a bullet-like Ember at Ursaring.

  Ursaring, caught off guard, instinctively raised its arm to block the attack.

  "Don’t worry about hurting it—release Ember at full power."

  Paul observed and prompted further.

  "Vul~"

  Realizing its attack didn’t harm Ursaring, the Vulpix felt relieved yet slightly dissatisfied.

  Why could Gible and Elekid deal damage, but not it?

  Am I weak?

  Driven by this thought, the Vulpix focused harder and unleashed a more intense Ember.

  The fmes burned brighter and hotter, leaving faint scorch marks on Ursaring’s fur despite its defense.

  "Vul~"

  Pleased with the result, the Vulpix proudly raised its head.

  Paul, however, quickly doused its pride.

  "Still too weak. At this rate, you could attack Ursaring a huimes without defeating it."

  "Vul~"

  Unwilling to accept this, the Vulpix poured all its effort into another Ember.

  "Still not enough..."

  "Vul~"

  "Too weak..."

  "Vul~"

  "There’s some progress, but not much."

  Over and over, the Vulpix tried, only to be met with repeated critiques.

  Until finally...

  "Vul~"

  After more thatempts, the Vulpix colpsed on the ground, to, utterly exhausted.

  "Blissey, use Fmethrower on Ursaring."

  Gng at the worn-out Vulpix, Paul sigo Blissey.

  "Blissey~"

  Blissey opes mouth, unleashing a searing Fmethrower that startled the resting Vulpix into jumping to its feet, staring in amazement as the fmes scorched Ursaring.

  "Vul!"

  The Vulpix’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

  Blissey was incredible!

  "Blissey isn’t built for bat and ’t unleash these moves’ full potential. If you learn them, you’ll be far stronger."

  "Do you want to learn?"

  Paul asked.

  "Vul!"

  The Vulpix nodded eagerly.

  "Blissey, it’s all yours."

  Paul’s lips curved into a satisfied smile.

  For newborn Pokémon, a mix of encement and examples worked every time.
