A few days ter, in the Lush Forest

  Not far from the Alpha Pokémon's ir, a t cliff loomed with a waterfall casg down its face. Below, a crystal-clear pool reflected the surrounding forest, its gentle currents flowing to an unknowination.

  At the base of the waterfall, a massive Ursaring sat on a rge rock, its muscur frame taut as it ehe relentless force of the falling water. Thanks to its powerful physique, the crashing torrent could do little to move the stoic bear Pokémon.

  Nearby, a much smaller Elekid uself from the pool below, colliding with the waterfall's might. Perched o Ursaring, it struggled to stabilize itself by geing aromagic field around its body.

  One sed… two seds… three seds… ten…

  "Bzzzt!"

  With a spsh, the Elekid lost its footing and tumbled bato the pool, defeated once more.

  "Bzzt! Bzzt!"

  Emerging from the water, its eyes bzed with determination. Watg the immovable Ursaring, it bristled with frustration.

  Why that big guy endure so easily while I 't?

  Fueled by its fiery resolve, the Elekid charged bato the waterfall. Over and over, it threw itself against the rushing water, determio quer this challenge.

  "I'm the best! I'm unstoppable! I'm number one!"

  If one listened closely, they might hear Elekid muttering these mantras us breath as it fought on.

  Thus, the two Pokémon tiheir relentless battle against nature, using the waterfall's power to push their limits and grow stronger.

  Earlier, Paul had discovered this waterfall during their training session and decided to release the three Bug Pokémon he had captured earlier, shifting his focus to honing Ursaring and Elekid's physical and bat skills using the waterfall.

  This "waterfall training" teique proved effective across various Pokémon worlds. If not for the o tinue his journey and the limited supplies he carried, Paul would have stayed here even longer.

  While his Pokémon trained, Paul wasn't idle either. Sitting cross-legged under a tree he pool, he closed his eyes iation. However, his body wasn't toug the ground; instead, he floated about 20 timeters above it.

  To an unknowing observer, Paul might seem like a magi or even a psychic.

  But Paul was her. If anything, he could be sidered a martial artist or athlete. What he ractig wasn't psychic meditation but a form of yoga.

  In the Pokémon world, yoga wasn't merely a method for rexation and self-care. It was a teique that could awake strength, unlock physical potential, and enhane's abilities.

  This e was evident in moves like Meditate and abilities like Pure Power:

  Meditate: Awakens dormant strength deep within, boosting the user's Attack.

  Pure Power: Harhe power of yoga to double the user's physical attack strength.

  One Pokémon that epitomized the power of yoga was Medicham, a Psychid Fighting-type known for its mastery of both mental and physical bance.

  If meditation enhanced inner spiritual strength, yoga focused oernal physical power by tapping into the user's spirit.

  Unlike meditation, which required innate psychic ability, yoga was far more accessible, making it an ideal choice for Paul.

  Paul had first learned yoga during his travels with Reggie, staying at a dojo that specialized i. Sihen, he preferred yoga's calm and steady approaproving his physical dition, finding it also helped sharpen his mind.

  After some time, Paul nded on the ground and opened his eyes. Walking to the pool's edge, he observed his Pokémon's progress.

  Ursaring, despite its incredible endurance, was visibly fatigued after sitting uhe waterfall for so long. The dual strain on its body and mind was taking its toll.

  Elekid, though smaller, was no less determined. Its repeated attempts left it battered and bruised, but its fighting spirit remained undiminished.

  "That's enough for now. Take a break," Paul anded, returning the two Pokémon to their Poké Balls. He then released them near a pile of berries he had prepared.

  "Ursaring!""Bzzt!"

  The two Pokémon exged a gnce before ravenously dev the berries. In no time, the pile disappeared, their strength quickly replenished. Satisfied, they y on the ground, patting their full stomachs.

  Over the past few days, Ursaring had e to fully trust Paul.

  Paul's trainihods were clear and effective, yielding visible progress. More importantly, Paul always ehey had enough food and care after every session. For Ursaring, this was a stark trast to trainers who often ed such basics.

  Paul noticed Ursaring's gaze of approval. "Don't get pt. Rest doesn't mean sg off. Sit cross-legged like I was earlier."

  "Bzzt!""Ursaring!"

  The two Pokémon quickly adjusted their postures, sitting upright with legs crossed.

  "Now, I'll teach you some basic yoga poses. Follow my instrus. These will help calm your mind, restore your energy, and aid your training."

  Hearing this, the Pokémon's eyes lit up with i.

  "Close your eyes, rex your mind, a go of any tension. Focus on your body—on a hand, a foot, or a specific muscle. Feel the unique rhythm and energy within yourself…"

  Paul began guiding them through simple yoga aation teiques. He didn't expect immediate results; even slight improvements in their mental recovery would be enough.

  However, Paul uimated his Pokémon's tendencies.

  Perhaps it was the seremosphere, but within ten minutes, both Ursaring and Elekid had fallen asleep, sn softly uhe shade.

  Paul smirked but let them rest, using the time to read a book.

  After about twenty minutes, he set the book down. "Wake up! If you've had enough sleep, it's time to get back to training."

  "Ursaring!""Bzzt!"

  Startled, the Pokémon quickly stood up, ready to tinue.

  "Resume your previous exercises. This time, focus on standing poses that tighten your muscles and el your strength. Try to push your limits."

  As the training tinued, Ursaring's body begaing a faint red glow. Its muscles tightened further, radiating raw power.

  "Bulk Up," Paul murmured, impressed.

  The move allowed the user to flex its muscles, increasing both Attad Defense. Ursaring had successfully lear through the inteerfall training.

  "Good. Hold on to that feeling and keep practig until it bees sed nature," Paul enced.

  "Ursaring!"

  Inspired by Ursaring's success, Elekid redoubled its efforts. After several attempts, it too began glowing, its body surging with newfound strength.

  Elekid had learned Work Up, a move that heightened both Attad Special Attack.

  "Great work, both of you. Keep honing these moves—they'll be crucial in future battles."

  With their training goals achieved, Paul began pnning their journey. It was time to leave the Eterna Forest behind.
