Pokémon: Global Invasion

Chapter 41: Aron's Trainer Plan

A sleepless night.

The next day, Stone woke up early to say goodbye.

Now he was eager to return home, urgently wanting to help his parents escape their prison ordeal. Ryoma understood and personally took him to the bus stop.

"Ryoma, thank you."

"And for the Aron Trainer Plan you made for me, I will definitely follow the plan to train Aron well."

"When we meet next time, I will surely surprise you!"

Standing at the entrance of the station, Stone held his notebook tightly, his expression very serious.

"Alright, alright, relax."

"Aron is a Pokémon with great potential. When it evolves into Aggron, you have to take me along!" Ryoma joked with a smile.

Last night, Ryoma had called Stone to his room before his departure to formulate a trainer plan for Aron before Stone left.

Aron had a round, deep gray body with short, stout legs. Its head, legs, and back were partially covered with a metal-like helmet, radiating a metallic sheen.

As a Steel and Rock-type Pokémon, Aron was clearly a Pokémon with very strong Defense Power, and being the initial form of Aggron, its Attack talent was also quite high!

However, despite being such a highly potential Pokémon, it had been with Stone for over half a year and hadn't learned a single move; at present, it could only use Harden and Tackle!

When Ryoma asked about the reason, Stone scratched his head, indicating that he had tried training Aron specially and even attempted to search for training methods for Aron.

However, Aron was not a very common Pokémon, and there were no training methods available for it. Therefore, he had to settle for finding a more common training method for Geodude.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, Aron could not learn the Rock-type move Rollout, which frustrated Stone, leading him to think Aron had poor talent.

Ryoma's expression darkened at that time. There was no way Aron couldn't learn Rollout; it had nothing to do with talent!

However, upon further thought, Ryoma realized the key point of the situation.

First was the well-known issue of the short time Pokémon had integrated into society, meaning that current trainers were completely unaware of what moves their Pokémon could learn.

This is also Ryoma's greatest advantage. Because he knows what moves each Pokémon can learn, he can formulate corresponding trainer plans that allow trainers to achieve maximum efficiency with minimal effort.

For someone like Stone, who has a lack of deep understanding of Pokémon, a lot of time is consumed in exploring which moves Pokémon can learn, and if he refers to the wrong training methods, then the efficiency of his training is naturally low.

Sometimes, they might even fall into a dead end as Pokémon trainers. For example, Stone trying to have Aron learn Rollout is not just a matter of inefficiency but a complete waste of effort!

Additionally, this is also the reason why books on training Pokémon are so expensive. A professional book on Pokémon training has immeasurable value; it can even serve as the foundation for a family, developing a completely new path.

Having figured out the key points, Ryoma began to think about the moves Aron could learn.

As a Steel and Rock-type Pokémon, Aron should focus on learning Steel-type signature moves like Iron Head and Metal Claw.

Among Rock-type moves, Rock Slide is considered quite basic, similar to Flamethrower or Water Gun, so Aron should also be able to learn Rock-type moves.

After pondering for a moment, Ryoma quickly picked up a pen and started strategizing. He decided to have Aron first learn Steel-type moves. As a Pokémon that grows by eating metal, Aron's affinity for Steel-type energy would definitely be very high.

Moreover, Ryoma had a little selfish motive in this because once Aron successfully mastered Metal Claw, Sandshrew could also use it as a reference to learn quickly.

After determining Aron's primary moves, Ryoma wrote down Tackle, Harden, Iron Head, and Metal Claw in his notebook, aiming to summarize them and create a training plan.

He initially planned for Aron to start with Tackle, allowing Aron to learn the Normal-type move Headbutt first, and then use Headbutt to learn the Steel-type move Iron Head...

After mastering Iron Head, the next step would be to learn Metal Claw...

After a night of refining the plan, Ryoma completed the Aron training method for Stone.

"Well, I'm off now. Ryoma and Yuto, take care."

After some more pleasantries, Stone boarded the car home. As the wheels of the car began to turn, it slowly disappeared into the horizon.

"Boss, let's get going too!"

"I can't wait to learn about weather moves!"

Watching the car leave, Yuto said eagerly.

After all, these are weather moves, and he hadn't slept well last night!

"Alright."

Ryoma nodded, his face reflecting some expectation.

How much could this Sandstorm move sell for?

Once in Yuto's sports car, they sped towards the suburbs. After about a half-hour journey, the two arrived at Aloha Pokémon Academy.

Upon seeing the seniors at the school entrance dressed in light clothing, Ryoma felt his spirits lift.

If going to school didn't require doing homework, attending classes, or writing papers, that would actually be quite nice.

Winding through the campus, the car came to a steady stop in front of a teaching building, where a middle-aged man in a research outfit stood eagerly waiting.

This should be the Professor Sato that Yuto mentioned, a professor at Aloha Pokémon Academy and a senior scholar in the Pokémon Scholars Guild, holding a very high status in the academic community!

"Yuto, is this the Ryoma you were talking about?"

Professor Sato excitedly rubbed his hands, his eyes fixed intently on Ryoma, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

"That's right, Professor Sato. This is Ryoma, the one who first discovered the principles of Defense Curl and Rollout," Yuto said with a light chuckle.

"Very good, very good! Young people really do have sharp minds. Now let's get started with our research!" Professor Sato, being quite impatient, grabbed Ryoma and began walking toward the laboratory.

"Ha ha! My teacher is quite the impatient one, but he is really nice," Yuto whispered to Ryoma as they walked. "Plus, Professor Sato specializes in Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon, so it might actually be helpful for Sandshrew."

"A scholar of Rock and Ground types!"

Ryoma's eyes brightened at this. It seemed he needed to build a good relationship with Professor Sato.

The knowledge and resources he desired for training Sandshrew might just come from this Professor!
