"You're going to live in Hometown?"
At night, after Father Fang and Mother Fang returned home, Fang Yuan told them his intentions.
"That's good, your Grandfather and Grandmother must miss you too. With them cooking for you, you won't have to order takeout every day. That stuff isn't healthy, nothing beats home cooking." Mother Fang said.
"Yes." Fang Yuan knew there was a point, but still felt a headache coming on.
Fang Yuan only moved from the countryside to the city to live when he was in elementary school. His childhood was spent in Nanwu Town, which is under Peaceful City, and he was very familiar with the place.
He remembered there was such a forest in Hometown, the trees grew very densely and were very hard. It might be because this place had also merged with a Secret Realm in history, the density of the trees was much higher than those Dense Forests in his memory.
This was the place Fang Yuan had carefully selected for Eevee's special training.
Father Fang and Mother Fang were happy to see Fang Yuan take the initiative to return to Hometown. The next day, Fang Yuan called his Grandfather and Grandmother and told them about it.
Nanwu Town is not far from Peaceful City, it takes an hour by car. Fang Yuan and Eevee chose to take the bus, which took a little longer, but it was just the length of a movie.
Nanwu Town, one of the six towns under Peaceful City, started urbanization last year, but it's not complete yet. Limited by various factors, it was announced to be terminated not long after it started.
In the house in Hometown, Fang Yuan's Grandfather and Grandmother had already cleared out a room for him and little Eevee. Although it was a bit simple, it was, after all, the place where he had lived since he was a child, and Fang Yuan felt quite close to it.
And the key is, nothing is missing, there's internet, there's air conditioning, almost no different from the city. After having a meal with his Grandfather and Grandmother, in the afternoon, Fang Yuan began to assemble the laptop he had moved from there. As for his and Eevee's daily necessities, as well as Eevee's food and nutrients, because there were too many things and they were too heavy, he didn't bring them all, so he would have to go get them again.
Therefore, Fang Yuan planned to start special training with Eevee from tomorrow.
In the countryside, the elderly get up relatively early, but Fang Yuan said that he and Eevee were determined to work hard in training, so they got up even earlier. When they got up the next day, the entire Nanwu Town was still very quiet.
"Goo-roo-roo..."
Standing in front of the sink brushing his teeth with a slightly sleepy expression, Fang Yuan's eyes were not fully open, but Eevee on the washing machine not far from him was calling out, urging Fang Yuan to move faster.
"It must think 'special training' is as easy as the previous 'watching movies', 'amusement park', 'building Sandcastles'."
Although Fang Yuan was still squinting, his brain was very clear, knowing that Eevee was still facing another difficult problem.
Perseverance.
Even he himself had many experiences of planning the future for a period of time very perfectly, imagining it very beautifully, but behind the beautiful goal, the effort put in is something most people can't persevere with...
"What should I do... to make Eevee able to persevere voluntarily, I wonder how much the hobby I cultivated for it some time ago can play a role." Fang Yuan thought.
Black Forest.
A forest near Nanwu Town that has yet to be developed, named because of its dark environment. It is often used by adults in the town to scare children, if you don't listen, you will be thrown into the Black Forest to feed the bugs.
Some time ago, it was decided to build high-rise buildings here, saying that they were going to do a big project. There were no longer any Pokémon living here. Outside the forest, there was a large open area, which Fang Yuan thought was a very good training place. Perhaps because it was in the countryside, such a good place didn't have a single Trainer to train Pokémon, it was very quiet.
"Also, compared to this remote and quiet small place, most people should prefer to go to public training grounds or training halls, those lively places, to train."
In addition to this, it may also be related to the fact that this place will be cut down, but since the construction team has no intention of starting work at this time, Fang Yuan doesn't mind using it first.
Use it as long as you can.
"No wonder no one wants to come, the environment here is really depressing."
"Eevee..." Sitting on Fang Yuan's shoulder, little Eevee began to panic. This forest looked gloomy, and it didn't look like a safe place at all...
"It's okay, I already scouted it out when you were sleeping, there won't be any danger." Fang Yuan was bolder, even though it was gloomy inside, he took the time to walk around the outer area. As expected, just like the rumors, there were no longer any creatures living here.
To facilitate the upcoming land reclamation, the trees inside the Dense Forest had already been treated with insect repellent. Naturally, Bug-type Pokémon wouldn't inhabit this place, and without Bug-type Pokémon, Flying-type Pokémon naturally wouldn't come to such a barren area.
Moreover, the Pokémon allowed by the Trainer Association to inhabit human living areas have almost no aggressiveness.
So, before the official start of work, Fang Yuan could take advantage of this. He wanted to use these trees to train Eevee's physical fitness.
And, fortunately, this place isn't far from the Pokémon Center in Nanwu Town. Nanwu Town doesn't have a Trainer Association Branch, but it does have a Pokémon Center. However, the Pokémon Center here is much simpler than those in the city, both in terms of equipment and function...
In terms of medical care, it's like a small clinic, only able to treat Pokémon for simple colds, wounds, fatigue, etc.
But this is already enough for Fang Yuan and Eevee.
In the Black Forest, the dense tree trunks are the reason Fang Yuan chose it. Only such dense trees can better train Eevee.
This special training was named the Tree Stump Training Method by Fang Yuan. It's simple and crude, just letting Eevee burst into its fastest speed for round trips.
First, to train explosive power.
Second, to continuously train stamina for a long time.
Third, to train movement speed and reaction speed.
Fourth, to train the body's coordination ability. The intricate and dense tree trunks are good obstacles.
Fifth, to train body strength. As long as the speed is fast enough, hitting a tree is inevitable, and the impact of the reaction force can also temper Eevee's will.
Fang Yuan had already explained the content of the training in detail to Eevee before coming. Eevee looked down on the "round trip sprint training" very much.
The little guy thought it had no challenge at all.
After Fang Yuan drew a line, this little guy came to the line with its head held high to prepare. In the Dense Forest, Fang Yuan had already tied a Red Line to a dividing line. Eevee could return upon reaching the Red Line. The entire journey was about 400 meters, and Fang Yuan planned to gradually increase the distance.
Holding a broken watch that he didn't know where he found, Fang Yuan used it meticulously. As he said "Start," Eevee suddenly rushed out.
But...
When approaching the dense tree trunks, Fang Yuan could clearly feel that this little guy was shrinking back. In order not to hit the tree trunks, it subconsciously slowed down, giving itself plenty of time to judge, and then entered the Dense Forest. After entering, its speed was even slower... In this Dense Forest where each tree is closely spaced, as long as you are willing to speed up and run, it is inevitable to hit with Eevee's size. This is the best training location that Fang Yuan racked his brains to find. If used well, it will not be less effective than the equipment in those professional training halls.
After all, it can train multiple basic qualities at the same time.
"This guy..." When Eevee came back, the total distance of 400 meters, including the time it took to avoid the intricate obstacles, took a total of 133 seconds, exceeding 2 minutes and 13 seconds.
"Unqualified." As Eevee returned with lingering fear, Fang Yuan said helplessly.
"This is still under the premise of not using moves. If you can't always accelerate to run the entire course, you won't be able to control the speed of Quick Attack at all. Rest for 1 minute, and we'll do it again. This time I'll go with you and supervise you by the way."
Fang Yuan wasn't too anxious, planning to let Eevee adapt for a few laps, and first train its stamina.
However, the ultimate goal of this training method is not to train stamina
