Seeing Cynthia and Axel rolling into a ball, Caitlin quickly ran to the two of them and grabbed Cynthia's arm with her hand.
"Cynthia, calm down a little, okay?"
"Ugh~ No, I can't calm down even a little," Cynthia said vaguely while biting Axel's neck, "Who... ugh~ who battles like this!"
Axel tilted his head helplessly, his hands had nowhere to rest.
In the end, he could only place them into Cynthia's golden hair, releasing a faint amount of psychic power to soothe Cynthia's spirit.
"Calm down, calm down, perfectly using tactics is originally a very important part of being a trainer."
"Although your Garchomp is trained very well, it also needs to have the ability to cope with various battle situations."
"Why don't you let me train your Garchomp for a few days, I'll help make it stronger, how about it?"
Hearing Axel's words, Cynthia loosened her bite on Axel's mouth slightly.
'Get stronger?'
But very quickly, she reacted again.
'Absolutely not, Garchomp would be led astray by this bad guy.'
"I don't want to!", Cynthia puffed up angrily, stood up from Axel's body, and tidied her messy hair, "Your tactics are all too dirty, they'll make my Garchomp lose its powerful fighting will."
"Even if someone teaches, it should be me teaching you how to play aggressive offense."
Hearing Cynthia's words, Axel's eyes lit up instantly, "Then it's decided."
Before Cynthia came over, Axel was still thinking about how to solve Gyarados's training problem.
He didn't expect a champion-level trainer would show up immediately after.
Besides Duraludon, Cynthia might be the most suitable person in the world to train Gyarados.
Thinking this, Axel beckoned to Gyarados, "Come quickly and take a master, Cynthia herself said she'd teach you how to play aggressive offense, this is a huge blessing."
Cynthia: "???"
"Did I say that?"
"You really did," Axel and Caitlin nodded simultaneously. Cynthia helplessly closed her eyes, her hands clenching with cracking sounds.
'And you say you're not a couple?'
'I'm starting to suspect everything today was all a setup by you two.'
———
A few minutes later, Gyarados excitedly floated in front of Cynthia, beginning a new round of training.
Under Cynthia's explanation, Gyarados's eyes would occasionally shine, letting out a loud roar.
Axel, Caitlin, and Gardevoir sat on the side.
Gardevoir and Caitlin stared at each other, one's gaze was as if wanting to eat someone, the other full of longing.
Axel, however, ignored the two, looking at Gyarados and Cynthia thoughtfully.
It was clear that these champions all had a great method for training Pokémon.
They didn't have training-related entries, yet they could reach the peak purely by understanding and training their Pokémon.
In just a few minutes, Axel saw that Gyarados's skill bar already had an extra move.
When he leaves Ninox, Gyarados's combat power might have a significant boost.
"Axel, Gardevoir, what do you two like to eat? I'll buy a restaurant for you to eat at," Caitlin nudged Axel's arm.
With her psychic strength partially recovered, Caitlin no longer spoke so brokenly, her voice like a sweet little lark.
"Let's hold off for now. Gyarados is still training. This opportunity is rare."
"Okay then..."
———
Another half an hour passed. With Cynthia's help, Gyarados let out a sky-shaking roar and charged at the gym-leader-class training dummy on the field.
"Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!"
"ROAR!"
Gyarados opened its mouth wide, and a huge torrent of water emerged from its mouth, crashing fiercely onto the training dummy's body.
Before the Hydro Pump dispersed, Cynthia had already issued the next command.
"Tornado!"
A howling wind immediately rose, sweeping into the half-dissipated Hydro Pump, creating a massive waterspout.
Axel nodded repeatedly at the sight, but Cynthia frowned.
"Not enough, your Tornado is too slow!"
"Again, one mo—"
Before she finished speaking, Cynthia suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories.
She gave Axel a fierce glare, then resumed directing Gyarados.
"Use the method I just taught you. Chain all the moves together, form an offensive so suffoCaitlining the enemy can't breathe."
"Garchomp, come show Gyarados an example."
———
Training continued until 10 PM. Axel's Gyarados had become increasingly fluid in connecting skills, and its attacks were beginning to form a chaining trend.
Although it still didn't have the suffoCaitlining pressure of Garchomp's attacks, it had clearly improved greatly compared to the beginning.
At this time, the entry called "Combo Attack" also appeared on Gyarados, although the current level was still very low, only white tier.
[Combo Attack (White): Each attack increases power by 1%, maximum increase of 10%]
"Not bad. Now I can give the burst entry to Pheromosa," Axel nodded to himself.
At first he was conflicted about whether to give this entry to Gyarados or Pheromosa. Now it seemed there was no need to be conflicted.
Gyarados already understood it on its own, and he could still burst another from Garchomp later.
"I'm so hungry, Caitlin. How about we stop here for today?", Cynthia patted Gyarados's big head, tightened her trench coat, and walked to Axel and Caitlin.
"Huh?", Caitlin's tone was a little low, "Done already?"
She felt that since she met Axel and Gardevoir, today was the fastest she had ever progressed in relationships with the three of them.
At first Gardevoir would glare at her angrily, but later even gave her flirty eyes.
She must be very grateful that her best friend helped her master solve a problem, right?
As long as she keeps helping, and Cynthia stays here for a few more days, maybe she could even give away her dowry.
Gardevoir: "..."
'Do you even know what sore eyes feel like?'
'Please, could you at least keep your inner thoughts further away from me?'
'I can feel them, okay? Please don't try to romance my master right in front of me.'
Cynthia gave her best friend a strange look.
Although she didn't have telepathy, she was very familiar with Caitlin.
She could tell from Caitlin's expression that she didn't want to part yet.
"Today Gyarados has already learned enough. He has great talent in aggressive offense. Let him digest it well, and we'll continue training tomorrow night."
"Also, I'm hungry. Want to go out to eat together?"
Caitlin's eyes lit up, nodding like crazy.
'Eating together sounds great.'
'As expected of my bestie, a divine assist.'
'It's decided, I'll buy you a big villa in every region.'
