Regarding basic moves, Torii's view was that they could drive the comprehension of higher-level moves, while also having a crucial promoting effect on the Pokémon's growth.

  For example, Torii once saw a Trainer with a Charizard sentiment say this in a newspaper: He was simultaneously training two Charmanders, one with good potential, increasing its strength very quickly. In less than a year, it successfully evolved into Charizard, and quickly comprehended the move Dragon Cw by virtue of its excellent talent.

  The other, however, had been adhering to the most basic training, from the most basic "Scratch" move, step by step comprehending "Ssh" and "Metal Cw" and practicing diligently. When this Charmander also evolved into Charizard, under deliberate guidance, it also naturally comprehended Dragon Cw, and this Charmander's Dragon Cw was significantly superior to the former in terms of cw strength, sharpness, and fluency.

  Later, after some investigation, Torii understood that basic moves were not as useless as he had imagined.

  Take "Scratch", for example.

  In the process of Charmander practicing, it could well exercise the strength of the arms, the sharpness of the cws, and the strength of the bones in the back.

  This had a considerable boosting effect on the ter comprehended Metal Cw, Ssh, and Dragon Cw. Simirly, the growth of the cws also drove the strength of the arms after evolution, as well as the strength of the wings.

  Therefore, most basic moves had their corresponding value. If they were ignored because they were deemed to have no tactical value, it would be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

  Just as Torii was thinking, Swablu flew towards Wurmple again.

  Knowing Wurmple's attack method, Swablu easily dodged String Shot this time, fpping its wings and gliding to Wurmple's upper-left side. The immature beak fshed with a faint light, again using Peck.

  However, Swablu's body was not very coordinated in flight. When diving down, its attack was directly dodged by Wurmple, who hastily evaded. Although Swablu wanted to pursue its victory, Peck only sted for a very short time, and the move's effect disappeared.

  "Not only power, but also duration, that is, control of energy, must be practiced." Torii saw something new. If Swablu could control its duration and energy well, that was when Swablu would comprehend "Fury Attack".

  At that time, Swablu could rely on a single Peck attack to perform multiple combos, and the situation where the energy dissipated halfway would not happen.

  However, this would also require a lot of practice to accomplish.

  Observing the two Pokémon again, Wurmple, seeing Swablu stop attacking at this moment, turned its head without thinking, curled up, and quickly charged over.

  Seeing this scene, Swablu appeared extremely flustered, and quickly fpped its wings, wanting to fly up. But Wurmple was not far from Swablu. In its desperation, Swablu was not able to escape smoothly. However, to Torii's surprise, the Swablu fpping its wings, although it didn't fly up, shed many white, cotton-like fluff from its cotton-like wings, swarming up and entangling Wurmple.

  Cotton Guard?

  No—

  It should be Feather Dance!

  Torii almost blurted out. In theory, Swablu wouldn't use or even learn this move, but according to Master Katsumune's analysis, Swablu, which had the dual bloodline of Pidgeot and Altaria, would have a very high probability of inheriting this move.

  At the moment, Torii believed this specution, because he had already seen the scene where Wurmple, entangled in cotton feathers, lost its fighting spirit under Swablu's "Peck" attack after it had recovered its senses.

  After dealing with Wurmple, the little guy clumsily fpped its wings and flew towards Torii, chirping happily, as if it was asking for credit.

  "Good job." Torii smiled. Swablu had not been born for long. Although the opponent's strength was also very weak, the first victory was already extremely rare for it. This was just the first step. Torii believed that with their joint efforts, Swablu would become stronger.

  As a reward, Torii gave Swablu some snacks that bird Pokémon liked very much, instantly making Swablu's mood particurly happy, and even eagerly wanting to carry out the next battle.

  Smiling and saying that there was no rush yet, Torii took out some simple medicine and cleaned up the wounds for Wurmple as well. Although the injuries were not serious, Torii was not stingy in thanking Wurmple for battling Swablu.

  The recovered Wurmple nodded and hurried into the grass. At the same time, Torii was also preparing to find a retively safe temporary residence to spend the next month.

  Living in the wild for a month, water was essential, but it was also a gathering pce for Pokémon. Torii didn't want to disturb them, so he could only find a pce retively close to the water source and retively hidden as his and Swablu's residence.

  Torii brought a tent and some retively common travel utensils, so as long as he was careful, there would be no other major problems.

  After inspecting many pces, Torii found a total of 3 water sources. This world was different from Earth. There were no terrible small creatures in the wild like in the original world. The environment was generally very good, and the water sources were retively clean. But this didn't mean Torii was going to use them as drinking water. He had already brought some daily drinking water. Finding water sources was just for doing some ordinary things such as washing up.

  And, to solve Swablu's thirst, these water sources were basically occupied by the Pokémon. With the Pokémon's bodies, even if they drank these natural water sources, it wouldn't cause illness. As for people, the most serious thing would probably be a stomach ache, but if it was boiled, there would basically be no big problem.

  After careful selection, Torii chose a location on the edge of a mountain range. The environment and terrain here were retively ft, and he also found a very hidden corner, which was more than suitable as a temporary residence.

  After solving the problem of accommodation, the next problem was food. Although Torii brought some necessities, there wasn't much that could be used to fill his stomach, and it wouldn't even st for 3 or 4 days. Moreover, most of them were nutrients that Master Katsumune had prepared for Swablu, so Torii needed to find some Berries, even wild vegetables and mushrooms, in the forest for his own meals.

  At Torii's request, Katsumune also prepared some cooking tools and flint for him, so Torii needed to cook his own meals in the days to come.

  Fortunately, Torii had done this kind of thing a lot before, and now he was familiar with it. Accompanied by Swablu, he quickly collected a few good pces as his food supply points. After filtering out the inedible things, they quietly retreated to the starting pce.

  The external problems had been solved, and the temporary residence had been arranged. Then, Torii should consider serious matters, that is, the training of Swablu.

  Although Master Katsumune repeatedly emphasized that Swablu's potential would not be bad, Torii, while recognizing this kind of thing, didn't like it very much. Potential was an intangible thing that might be manifested in growth, but Torii still believed in hard work. Talent plus hard work was the most perfect combination.
