The next day.
The five legendary Pokémon, having finished breakfast early in the morning, lazily enjoyed the comfortable sunlight, planning to sleep until noon and then get up for lunch.
Seeing that Riku was still very worried about Ralts—and would probably take Ralts and Milotic out to grind battle experience again—the legendary Pokémon comfortably yawned.
Anyway, as legendary Pokémon, even if they just ate and slept, their strength would steadily increase.
They were really too lazy to do any training, especially since Riku's training was something no Pokémon could endure.
Even legendary Pokémon, if made to train continuously for a week, would probably find an excuse to hide for a while.
As for tree berries...
This method of increasing attribute laws simply by eating—and tasting quite delicious—was naturally welcomed by the legendary Pokémon.
---
"Clap clap clap..."
Riku, who had been sitting for a while after eating, suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.
"Come on, everyone stand up. I'm taking you to grind battle experience now."
The legendary Pokémon exchanged glances, wearing expressions that said: "Just as expected."
"What are you still dazing around for? Get up!"
"Three dumn birds, fish, and shrimp—I'm talking to you!"
Seeing that his words had no impact, Riku immediately urged them impatiently.
"What?"
"Master, are you alright?"
"Asking us to grind battle experience... Is this a joke?"
"No way, I'd rather sunbathe here..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Riku frowned.
"If I tell you to go, you go. Follow me!"
The legendary Pokémon reluctantly and slowly got up from the ground.
Originally, seeing Lorelei leave and May return to the Hoenn region, they thought their days would be more comfortable—At least they wouldn't have to be wary of those two women, making it so they couldn't even go home.
Who would've thought their master's sweetheart running off would make him focus his energy on them?
The three silly birds and the fish and shrimp followed behind Riku, unable to stop complaining.
"This can't go on like this!"
"Something seems wrong with Master. Did his sweetheart leave, causing a hormonal imbalance?"
"This seems to be a common ailment for single humans. When it gets serious, it might not be as simple as taking us to grind battle experience."
"During this time, it's best not to provoke Master."
"Sigh... Luckily, Master isn't a woman. Otherwise, we'd be tortured to death during those days every month!"
Before grinding battle experience, Riku, worried about accidents, wanted Lapras to lead them first.
Taking an Exp. Share off Milotic and putting it around Groudon's neck, Riku nodded to Lapras.
Lapras greeted Groudon somewhat ingratiatingly, then suddenly turned and instantly used Ice Shard to defeat a wild Pokémon.
"Hmm?"
"Why no points? Why no experience?"
Riku was taken aback, sensing something was wrong.
He knew it definitely wasn't because he hadn't caught Groudon—After all, Ralts hadn't been caught either, but it could still gain experience while wearing the Exp. Share.
It just wouldn't level up.
But now, the system hadn't even given a notification for Groudon.
Could it be...
Could it be that Groudon and the others could only increase their strength through training?
No way...
Just the thought of that possibility made Riku's head spin.
These guys could at most complete the third stage of training, and even now, they weren't capable of touching the fourth stage.
Moreover, Riku now had more than 1.8 million points, which could be considered a fortune—
Although this so-called fortune couldn't even buy a Lapras Mega Stone, it was still much better than before.
To be honest, Riku really looked down on the points gained from training these guys.
The third stage only gave 1,000 points, which was useless
It was better to defeat more Elite-level wild Pokémon.
However, Riku thought about it and still decided to take these guys to train.
After all, they had been with him from the beginning. He couldn't just abandon them because they were too weak.
"Ralulalu..."
While Riku was thinking, the legendary Pokémon were actually teasing Ralts and playing with it.
This made Riku angrily turn around and leave.
"Follow me. Grinding battle experience isn't very effective. From now on, all of you will train!"
"No way!" Groudon wailed.
"Master, I think grinding battle experience is pretty good—very good."
"I'm willing to keep grinding like this forever."
Compared to training, just standing there watching Lapras beat up wild Pokémon was actually quite comfortable.
If they had to train...
Groudon had just eaten his fill—he definitely didn't want to throw it up.
"That's right, I also really want to grind battle experience—really want to level up," the three silly birds quickly chimed in.
"Master, you can't be biased and only take Milotic!"
"If Master thinks Lapras is too slow, we'll do it ourselves!"
Lapras looked at the three legendary birds with a bit of resentment.
Was it really slow?
It was already taking down wild Pokémon in one move.
Although its strength was far inferior to that of the legendary Pokémon, When dealing with such weak wild Pokémon, weren't they all the same speed?
Kyogre hadn't said anything all along, but after a while, it also saw the signs.
Groudon and the three legendary birds were clearly afraid of the training their master mentioned.
"Roar roar roar..."
Realizing this, Kyogre immediately laughed, its whole body shaking.
"Worthless!"
"You worthless things. Master gives you three meals a day for nothing, and now you're making excuses even for training. Do you have any conscience?"
"Alright, alright, you're so great!" Groudon said irritably.
"Since you have such a conscience, don't you dare complain later, or we'll look down on you for the rest of our lives."
"Hmph!" Kyogre snorted.
"Do you think I'm as useless as you guys?"
"Don't worry, if I complain, I'll write my name backwards."
"Don't," the three legendary birds quickly interrupted.
"What does a name matter? Anyway, Master doesn't call you by your real name now."
"How about this—let's make a bet."
"If you can last until the fourth training, we'll owe you twelve cans."
"Conversely, if you can't last, you owe us twelve cans."
"How about it, dare to bet?"
"This..." Kyogre hesitated.
Although it didn't know what cans were, it knew they must be good things.
However, it was quite confident in itself and nodded after a moment.
"Alright! I'll bet with you!"
"Yay!''
Groudon and the three legendary birds were overjoyed and even gave each other a high-five from afar.
Looking at their excited expressions, Kyogre snorted coldly and said,
"Prepare your cans," then followed Riku back to the front of the small wooden house.
Were they actually going to train here?
The surroundings didn't look like a place for training at all.
Kyogre was stunned, its confidence soaring—
Higher than ever before.
Twelve cans seemed to be already in its grasp.
