Letting Gallade feel warmth had to be done little by little.

But Primeape could use this crushing defeat against Gallade as a chance to properly begin basic training.

As the sky began to darken, Julian called Maylene before starting night training.

He found that Maylene’s phone was already switched off.

Just as Julian was about to go out and search for Maylene, who had run off somewhere for the whole afternoon, she appeared in front of him holding a Poké Ball.

"Julian, look!"

Maylene released the Pokémon inside.

It was a cute little bear, pink and soft-looking, somewhat like a child’s plush toy.

Stufful

Julian was somewhat surprised.

"Where did you get it?"

"Veilstone Game Corner!"

Julian patted the dust off Maylene’s clothes.

"You went to play games, so how did your clothes get this dirty?"

Maylene waved it off.

"I only played once. I didn’t expect to hit the jackpot and win this Stufful from the Alola region."

Julian was surprised.

"Once? Your luck was that good?"

"I sent Dad back here to handle challengers, then pulled the slot machine he hadn’t finished playing. I didn’t expect to hit the jackpot!"

Maylene looked extremely excited.

"Then I took Stufful to the Pokémon Centre to battle other Trainers. No matter how we fought, we kept winning!"

Stufful was indeed a little overpowered against the novice Trainers in Veilstone City.

But Stufful and Maylene really did have abnormal compatibility.

Perhaps it would surpass Lucario and become Maylene’s true partner Pokémon.

Stufful was unaware of its own monstrous strength.

Maylene was also a monstrous-strength girl who did not know how strong she was.

"You need to be careful. Stufful’s strength isn’t a joke. Don’t get hurt."

Maylene smiled and waved.

"I know. When I received Stufful, the Game Corner staff also told me to be careful. After we won several battles, I hugged Stufful."

"I did feel that her strength was a little high, but it was still within my tolerance. I could break free from her hug. It’s just that my phone got crushed by Stufful."

Was that crushed?

It was clearly squeezed broken while she hugged you

She had broken free from Stufful’s hug and had not even found it difficult.

Girl, you know nothing about the strength you possess

Stufful and its evolution, Bewear, were both Pokémon designed based on red pandas.

If red pandas, which needed seven bites just to chew through a single grape and intimidated enemies by standing upright and waving, knew they had been designed into Bewear, the most dangerous Pokémon in Alola, Julian believed they would surely feel gratified.

In any case, Julian did not dare touch Stufful.

If Stufful gave him one hit, Julian would be meeting his great-grandmother early.

"Stufful doesn’t like being touched or hugged by strangers. Don’t let other people casually touch her. It might lead to injuries."

Julian’s expression was serious, and Maylene also became serious.

"Yes, sir!"

Only then did Maylene notice Gallade standing beside Julian.

"Ah, Gallade!"

Maylene directly pounced forward, hugging Gallade and rubbing against him.

The passionate Maylene left Gallade rather helpless.

He could only carefully raise both hands to avoid his blades injuring her.

Although with Gallade’s control, such a thing was basically impossible.

Julian stepped forward.

"Gallade, this sister of mine just gets a little overexcited around people. Bear with it."

Julian noticed that Gallade’s face seemed a little off.

At first, he thought Gallade was embarrassed.

Then...

Julian smacked Maylene on the head.

"Let go!"

Maylene immediately released him.

Gallade could finally breathe deeply.

This crazy girl had unconsciously used too much strength.

Compared to Stufful, Maylene was even more dangerous.

"Gallade, if anything feels uncomfortable next time, you have to tell me immediately. Understand?"

Although Julian’s expression was very serious, Gallade felt warmth from it.

Gallade nodded.

"Gallade."

Maylene also realised that in her excitement, she had almost hurt Gallade.

"Gallade, I’m sorry."

Gallade reached out and wiped away the tears at the corners of Maylene’s eyes.

He shook his head.

"Gallade. Gallade."

Julian smiled and rubbed Maylene’s head.

"All right. It’s nothing serious. Look at you. Hurry and take a shower. I’ll go make food for you."

The rice was still a small bowl.

The kind of small bowl restaurants used for boiled fish, forty centimetres across.

The dishes were simple: potatoes with lamb ribs, and tomato scrambled eggs.

"Julian, add some coriander for me."

Julian glared at her.

"What coriander? You look like coriander. Hurry up and eat. If you don’t, give it to me."

Maylene curled her lip and stuffed a large piece of lamb rib into her mouth.

Sooner or later, she would plant the entire backyard full of coriander.

After dinner, Julian said to Primeape, "Primeape, through that battle just now, I think you’ve also realised the fundamental gap between you and Gallade. If you want to win..."

"You must seriously strengthen your foundation. A skyscraper rises from level ground. Building the foundation is dull and exhausting, but in the end, it will all turn into the joy of victory."

"Put on fifty pounds of weight and frog-jump one hundred laps around the training field."

Primeape’s lower limbs were short and thick, so its lower-body explosiveness needed strengthening.

Fifty pounds was heavy. Once Primeape put it on, faint strands of anger immediately appeared around its body.

"Control your anger. It’s best not to rely on anger to strengthen your body. Use your most primitive muscles and willpower to face the training."

Primeape nodded and closed its eyes.

Soon, its anger really disappeared.

Then Primeape began frog-jumping seriously.

"Gallade, show me the moves you’re good at."

Gallade nodded and used the moves one by one.

Aside from the Psycho Cut, Aerial Ace, Sacred Sword, Detect, and Low Kick he had used earlier...

There were also Leaf Blade, Fury Cutter, Slash, Night Slash, Brick Break, X-Scissor, Cut, Dual Chop, Low Sweep, and Swords Dance.

Maylene stared blankly.

"So many moves. Such beautiful usage."

Julian took out his notebook and wrote furiously.

With so many moves already used skillfully, Gallade did not need Julian to supplement much.

At most, Julian could train Bulk Up with him.

Although Maylene was very strong, the fact that Gallade had been squeezed to the point of being unable to breathe meant Gallade’s muscles and Defense were not strong.

It was very necessary to improve them through Bulk Up.

"Gallade, today we’ll learn Bulk Up and strengthen your muscles."

He had to do something.

Otherwise, would he not be exposing that Gallade was just as strong whether or not Julian existed as his Trainer?

Maylene elbowed Julian.

"Julian, where did you steal such an amazing Gallade from? And he even listens to you?"

"What are you saying? A friend gave him to me, all right?"

After Primeape finished one hundred laps of frog jumps, Julian removed the weights.

After replenishing its nutrients and resting for fifteen minutes, he took out iron fist guards and put them on Primeape.

"Hit the sandbag for half an hour. Again, no using anger, and no using moves. Alternate your left and right fists while moving around the sandbag."

Primeape nodded and began striking the sandbag seriously.

After night training ended and Julian finished his shower, he lay back down on his bed.

Last time, he had received an A-rank evaluation, allowing him to remove half the types from the next random selection.

In the end, Julian chose to keep Dragon, Fighting, Psychic, Ghost, Fairy, Steel, Flying, Fire, and Poison for the next type simulation.

He waited anxiously and nervously for the countdown to the third simulation to reach zero.

[Time remaining until next simulation: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 1 second]

Julian’s eyes lit up.

System, begin simulation!
