Chapter 43: Growth Training Method – Moves and Nurturing

  "Vulpix, use Sunny Day."

  Watg three Pokémon head off to train, Paul turo Vulpix and gave the and.

  "Vul~!"

  Vulpix glowed brightly, its inner power resonating with the surrounding enviro. Within seds, the sun above seemed to bze even hotter, saturating the air with sor energy.

  With this, fire-type moves would gain a power boost, while water-type moves would be suppressed. Additionally, moves reted to sunlight such as Growth, would see enhanced effects uhese ditions.

  "Perfeow let's try out aurtwig, listen carefully and take your time. Vulpix, observe closely."

  "Twiig!"

  "Vul!"

  Both Turtwig and Vulpix tentively, fog on Paul's instrus.

  "Turtwig, feel the sor energy—the same energy you absorb when using Sor Beam."

  "Slowly try to store that sor energy using the method from Synthesis, verting it into nutrients. However, do not use the nutrients to recover stamina."

  Paul paused after expining, Turtwig's as while quietly instrug Blissey. "Keep an eye on Turtwig. If anything goes wrong, be ready to use your healing moves immediately."

  Although Paul's method was uo cause harm, he didn't want to take any risks. With Blissey here before sending back, Paul felt fident enough to experiment.

  "Bliss~"

  Blissey fixed its gaze on Turtwig.

  Uhe tension and focus of the surrounding Pokémon, Turteared rexed. Its time spent adventuring had made it highly profit with its moves, particurly Synthesis.

  Whether it was for healing athering nutrients from sunlight to "fill its stomach," Turtwig had always found Synthesis to be incredibly useful.

  From Paul's expnation, this seemed no different from its usual use of Synthesis. It followed the familiar steps, abs sunlight and verting it into nutrients. Within moments, Turtwig "felt full" and raised its head, gazing at Paul with its rge, i eyes.

  "The final step: use Growth. This time, try to use the nutrients and energy frowth, but avoid tapping into your stamina."

  "Don't focus on the short-term stat boost from Growth. Instead, el the move to absorb the nutrients and energy into every part of your body, enabling perma growth—just like how pnts naturally grow."

  Paul's idea was simple: absorb energy, create nutrients, and use Growth to e the nutrients for rapid development, thereby enhang Turtwig's physical capabilities.

  Essentially, this was the grass-type equivalent of "Meditate," though instead of boosting only mental strength, it aimed for prehensive improvement.

  However, Paul khat because this method provides all-around enha, it wouldn't produce dramatic results in the short term. The process was slow and steady, allowing the Pokémon to grow stronger even while resting.

  Ourtwig mastered this Growth trainihod, it could tinue improving outside of battles, even during downtime.

  "Turtwig!"

  After hearing Paul's expnation, Turtwig fell into deep thought. It often used Growth and Synthesis, but it had never sidered using Growth to enhas physical body before.

  A few moments ter, Turtwig closed its eyes, carefully eling its energy to promote growth. To avoid injury, it proceeded cautiously.

  As a grass-type Pokémon, Turtwig's body ily had pnt-like traits. Using the sprout on its head as a refere began applying the Growth method throughout its entire body.

  Three mier, Turtwig opes eyes, a gleam of joy visible withi had succeeded!

  "Repeat the process aablish a cycle. Gradually grow your body over time. This is the Growth Trainihod I developed." Paul expined. "Once you've mastered this, you add Ingrain to the mix, bining it with Synthesis and Growth for eveer results."

  The core of the Growth Trainihod y in two moves—Synthesis and Growth—both of which were ong grass-types. Sunny Day enhahe training effect, while Sor Beam facilitated easier mastery.

  An alternative version of the method involved repg Synthesis with Ingrain to draw nutrients from the ground. In theory, bining Ingrain and Growth could achieve the same results even without Synthesis. However, mastering all three moves would yield the best oute.

  "Iure, when you fully master this method, you perform the entire process simultaneously at any time. As long as there's sunlight ah, you'll tinue growing stronger."

  "With the assistance of Sunny Day, you might achieve in one session what others would need half a day of interaining to aplish just by basking in the sun."

  After hearing Paul's detailed expnation, Turtwig's eyes sparkled with admiration. Who wouldn't want a method to grow stronger while lying down?

  Certainly not Turtwig.

  "Turtwig!"

  Fired up by Paul's depi of the method, Turtwig eagerly prepared to begin training, determio master it as quickly as possible.

  "Take your time during training. Sino one has tried this method before, proceed slowly to avoid injury."

  "But with Blissey here, once you're familiar with the process, you push yourself to test your limits."

  "Turtwig!"

  "Bliss~"

  Both Turtwig and Blissey nodded, ready to follow Paul's instrus.

  Satisfied, Paul turned his attention to Vulpix. "Did you notiything from Turtwig?"

  "Vul!"

  Vulpix shook its head decisively—it had no idea what it had just witnessed.

  Growth, Synthesis, rain—it couldn't learn any of those moves.

  "Did you observe how Turtwig absorbed sor energy?"

  "Vul~"

  Vulpix nodded. It had noticed something—it could sense and absorb sor energy too, though it was difficult. Once absorbed, its fire energy seemed to grow slightly more potent, but it didn't feel anything else.

  "Good. Do you remember Turtwig's Sor Beam during its battle with Gible?"

  "Vul~"

  Vulpix nodded again, vividly recalling the move that had sent Gible flying. However, it was a grass-type move. Could a fire-type like it learn such a thing?

  Paul expined, "That move works by abs sunlight and sor energy to unleash an attack. Start by sensing sunlight and sor energy, then try to absorb it. If you get stuck, ask Turtwig fuidance."

  "Once you're able to absorb enough energy, gather it together and try to shoot it out like a jet of fme. At that time, you will be able to learn the sor beam."

  "Turtwig!"

  Eager to help, Turtwig paused its training to teach Vulpix about Sor Beam. Blissey occasionally chimed in with additional insights.

  "Vul~"

  Listening to their guidance, Vulpix began to grasp the cept.

  Reality wasn't a game, and versely, games weren't reality. In the real world, Pokémon could learn moves not avaible to them in games, though the reverse was also true. Some game moves were exceedingly rare or difficult to learn iy.

  For instance, could fire-types learn Sor Beam rass Knot?

  Most trainers would scoff at the idea, deeming it impossible. Grass Knot, in particur, was rare even among grass-types.

  However, Paul had seen fire-types learn Sor Beam before, albeit with great difficulty.

  Paul didn't expect Vulpix to master Sor Beam quickly. He believed that with a clear goal and pruida would succeed eventually.

  As Paul observed his Pokémon training diligently, his expression remained ral, but he couldn't help feeling pleased.

  With his Pokémon busy training, Paul turned his attention to the three practig their moves. After providing some guidance, he instructed Blissey and Vulpix to occasionally cast Gravity oraining Pokémon before settling down with a book and notebook.

  Over the years since his reination, Paul had not only trained and studied but also colborated with his brgie on developing and researg Pokémon nurturihods.

  In addition to his Gravity Incubatiohod for Pokémon Eggs and the Growth Trainihod, Paul had previously proposed ideas such as Steam Therapy, Massage Nurturing, Acupressure Teiques, and modernized nurturing practices.

  Some methods had been successfully developed and implemented, while others remained under researd improvement, awaiting for eventual success.
