Tetsuya tried various methods. With Gengar inside his shadow, following his intentions, Gengar could freely lengthen, shorten, and alter his shadow. Various moves from Gengar would be unleashed from within the shadow. His shadow had already become a deadly weapon, and nobody would ever imagine that a "shadow" could kill.
Such coordination training was still mainly centered around Gengar within the shadow. As long as Tetsuya had a thought, Gengar could launch silent attacks without drawing attention.
Offensive moves that could be used included: Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Hex, Dark Pulse, Toxic.
For defensive purposes, Night Shade could be used.
Support moves that could be used included: Hypnosis.
However, Gengar was unable to use Dream Eater, though Tetsuya did not pay much attention to it. After all, Gengar had merged into his shadow. To put it bluntly, his own body was Gengar's burden, so it was normal for there to be situations where fewer moves could be used.
Moves used for sealing and "intimidation" included: Mean Look, Embargo.
---◓---
After about a month of practice, the coordination between Tetsuya and Gengar had already become flawless. The only drawback was that they could no longer display the same speed Gengar had before, because the shadow always moved together with Tetsuya. Therefore, this aspect required Tetsuya himself to work out, mainly his own speed and physical flexibility. Of course, this was something he had never given up training from the beginning.
Gradually, Tetsuya also immersed himself in the training of his Pokémon. One month of time had long since turned the entire mountain hollow into complete devastation.
Here, Tetsuya fundamentally did not need to worry about food or drink. There was water and erries, and the resources were abundant. If there were no special circumstances, he could stay here until the next elimination round.
However, now that Gengar had merged into his shadow, it was equivalent to being short one Pokémon. The Shadow Team strictly required five Pokémon, and he was currently still lacking one "battle-capable" Pokémon.
Now, regarding a Pokémon like that, Tetsuya no longer needed to worry too much. Most of the Pokémon on this island were already quite powerful, so he could completely take his time choosing properly.
On this day, just as Tetsuya was preparing to leave the mountain hollow, he observed that the trees at the entrance of the hollow were scattered chaotically in every direction. These were all the result of the work of himself and his Pokémon.
This was just great, now they had blocked his path instead…
Looking at the trees before him, Tetsuya let out a helpless sigh. His Pokémon were not skilled at transporting things.
If only he could fly away himself!
Suddenly, the tree Tetsuya was staring at began moving following his thoughts.
It moved!
The records of the Matsuba Family had never mentioned that Tetsuya himself would be able to use Psychic powers?
Although Gengar had said that he had adapted to its psychic power, and Tetsuya himself had fantasized about being able to use Psychic powers, throughout this entire month he had continuously devoted his energy to coordinating with Gengar. Furthermore, he also did not know how to train his psychic powers, so he had set it aside.
In the midst of his excitement…
The tree that had finally risen half a meter fell back down again.
Since psychic powers was a manifestation of mental images, then concentrating one's will and clearing away distracting thoughts were necessities.
Tetsuya slowly let out a long breath…
Once again, he focused his gaze on that tree, concentrating completely. The only thing in his mind was making the tree fly up!
Sure enough…
'Higher and higher…
Higher and higher!'
Following Tetsuya's thoughts, that tree moved to another position.
"!!!!!"
The excitement within Tetsuya's heart could not be suppressed. With such an ability, reaching the Elite Four position was only a matter of time…
No!
What the hell was an Elite Four worth!
The sky is vast enough for Lugia to fly, and the sea broad enough for Kyogre to leap.
In this world, he would make up for every regret from his previous life!
When Tetsuya once again used psychic powers to move the trees, he discovered that it was no longer as easy as before.
In the end, he could only move three trees…
With Gengar's power, even moving ten trees would not be difficult, yet he still had not completely turned Gengar's psychic power into his own ability.
However, Tetsuya was able to completely reach this conclusion: now Gengar's psychic power required him himself to wield it. It was no longer as simple as merely using the shadow, which was why Psychic moves based on Gengar's psychic power could not be used.
Since he now understood his shortcomings, Tetsuya still chose to remain behind and train his psychic powers.
This time, Tetsuya could not determine how long the training would continue. After all, he had never experienced such training before, so he could only temporarily set a period of two months. Besides, he still needed to go out and search for a Pokémon. Fortunately, he no longer needed to worry about food and could completely return after catching the final Pokémon.
This time, Tetsuya no longer had time to constantly monitor the training conditions of the other five Pokémon. Of course, they also did not require much supervision from him.
Ditto was still placed into the lake, "playing" with those Water-type Pokémon.
Piloswine could only be sent to the outermost edge of the mountain hollow to conduct its move training. Otherwise, not many people could tolerate that extreme cold aura.
As for Golett, its rolling training could be done anywhere. It also happened to help train the power of High Horsepower.
What absolutely had to be fulfilled every day was punching training. As a Golett with the Ability Iron Fist, it had learned many punching moves. Wanting to use them more flexibly could only be achieved through continuous practice.
The most crucial factor for improving Golett's capabilities was still quickly unsealing the energy within its body. Now, two layers of energy already covered its entire body, while the third layer continuously extended during training. As the energy stacked further and further, both its attack and defense had significantly improved.
Beedrill still continued its "Focus Energy" training. This type of training was not something that could be accomplished in a single day, while speed training also would not be neglected.
Regarding move training, Houndoom still continued with [Blazing Howl] and [Blightfire Assault].
All of the Pokémon would complete an entire morning of basic training.
Tetsuya still returned to the deepest part of the mountain hollow and officially began his psychic training.
As for the training of psychic powers, he could only say that he was advancing through exploration. Every day, he merely repeated the same actions.
Controlling trees.
Moreover, this type of training consumed too much mental energy, so it could only be done for an entire morning each day.
The afternoons were spent sleeping, wandering around the mountain hollow to relax, then training a little again in the evening before continuing to sleep.
However, after two months of training, he could only continuously control five trees before feeling that he had reached his limit. Furthermore, there was a feeling of having hit a barrier, and his progress became slower and slower.
Perhaps his method was flawed, or perhaps there were better training methods. In this world, the only people he could seek guidance from were Sabrina or Caitlin. Tetsuya had already met Caitlin before, though that had only been the younger Caitlin. The Caitlin who would reach the pinnacle of her psychic powers was still more than ten years away.
As for Sabrina, he still had not met her.
These two people, if Tetsuya ever had the opportunity, he definitely still wanted to meet them!
In the blink of an eye, he had already remained within the mountain hollow for three months!
Using psychic powers to move away the trees blocking the entrance, Tetsuya entered the forest, searching for his target…
