Male Ralts into Kirlia

It had been about a day since Hakudoshi's Female Ralts had evolved into a Kirlia, and now he was back to train on this very same route again, but this time was different. He was here to train his Male Ralts and evolve it into a Kirlia, then once that was done, he could get a Dawn Stone and evolve it into a Gallade. First thing's first, he needed to evolve his second Ralts into a Kirlia. Once that was done, he could focus on the other Pokemon in his party and train them up until they were at the same level.

With his plan now thoroughly in his mind, he quickly sent out his Ralts, watching as it appeared before him in a burst of red light. Hakudoshi smiled down patiently at the determined, passionate male brother of his Kirlia as the Ralts looked around in curiosity. It was obvious that the Ralts was wondering what was going on, and luckily for him, the little green-haired Pokemon was about to find out exactly why he was brought here. Hakudoshi felt that the Male Ralts would be the knight of his team, the determined soldier that was willing to injure himself to protect his comrades.

'Alright Ralts, listen up, I need you to be strong, so I'm going to train you. I need you to train your Shadow Sneak ability so that you can get used to physical moves, instead of using Special Attacks. You will become a strong, unbeatable Gallade, so I need you to get used to fighting physically' Hakudoshi said to the Ralts, communicating with the small Psychic-Type telepathically. The Ralts looked up at his trainer and nodded his small head as a passionate fire lit up in his eyes. He was ready and willing to prove himself to his trainer, as well as to the world around him, that he had what it took to be great.

With that, the training had begun, and the Ralts became hard at work, expertly practicing the Shadow Sneak with extreme grace and precision. Shadow Sneak was a move that he was born with, but was also very inexperienced in. However, if he wanted to be a mighty Gallade, he would have to practice his physical skills. His elder sister wanted to be a beautiful Gardevoir, but he wanted to be both her shield and sword, as well as the sword of his comrades, his fellow Pokemon. He would never stop, even after he had become a mighty Gallade. He needed to grow stronger, he needed this strength.

Slowly, ever so slowly, the Ralts grew closer and closer to it's goal. It was taking a lot out of the Ralts, what with him not being used to physical training, but over time, it became easier and easier to him until it became almost instinctual. Then again, he was training to become a Gallade, so it was only natural Physical attacks became easier and easier for the young Ralts to perform. The path of becoming a Gallade was one that required a lot of patience, hard work, and a little bit of pain as well, because fighting with your limbs and even your head hurt a lot.

However, no matter how much easier became for the Ralts, he knew that it wouldn't be a success until the Shadow Sneak move of his was able to be pulled off at any time, instantaneously. Shadow Sneak was meant to be fast, surprising and catch the opponent off their guard. If he could pull off Shadow Sneak, he would be one step closer to becoming a noble, and strong, Gallade. The Ralts may be small, but his determination and his drive to succeed was large enough to fit a Groudon. His will was unshakeable, his determination was all-encompassing, and his never-give-up attitude was enough to intimidate any opponent.

Slowly, ever so slowly, the speed as to which he pulled off the Shadow was decreasing in time. Seeing this, the noble Ralts pressed on, not letting anything or anyone stop him from achieving success. Even if his trainer had told him to stop, he wouldn't have listened, as he was far too focused on his training to really notice whatever was said to him. Then again, Hakudoshi wasn't going to really distract him or tell him to stop, as the feminine, but calm, Psychic allowed Ralts to train himself into the ground so that he could master the Shadow Sneak.

The Ralts continued on in his training, noticing that he was almost to his goal, almost to the point where his Shadow Sneak move was instantaneous. It wasn't quite there, but it was getting close, so the Ralts pressed on, despite the fact that he was growing tired. The Ralts had an unbreakable iron will, the kind where if he had to, he would take on any of the Legendary Pokemon with no fear. The Ralts was very determined to succeed, so determined to succeed in fact that he didn't even notice when blackness started encompassing the end of his vision yet.

Eventually, the Ralts had finally reached his goal, and the Shadow Sneak was now instantaneous. Ralts was so excited that he had jumped around in excitement, not noticing until he blacked out that that little jump had taken his remaining stamina out of him, and was now sleeping soundly. This was very typical of the Ralts, training and fighting until he could no longer continue, and as such, Hakudoshi wasn't worried in the slightest. This was perfectly normal, and the Ralts was just fine after he got some well-earned rest.

Hakudoshi smiled softly as he picked up the snoozing Ralts and gently placed him back in his designated Pokeball. With that done, Hakudoshi went back to the tent he had set up here, since he was going to be staying here for a while, and started making arrangements to go to sleep. After glancing at the sky, he knew it was time for him to hit the hay, and as such, he snuggled up into his sleeping bag and starting doing what his Ralts was doing, which was snoozing away.

It was a brand new day, and it was an especially nice day for some nice training. That was why Hakudoshi was out here, after all, to train his trusty companions until they were all the same level, and all of them strong enough to handle any threats that came their way. Hakudoshi would not rest until he had accomplished his goal here, so here he was in the tall grass that had Pokemon again. However, he wasn't here to catch Pokemon, far from it. If anything he was here to train up the Pokemon he already had, make them even stronger than they already were.

Hakudoshi sent out his newly-recovered Ralts once more, looking down at him with a kind smile on his face. He knew exactly what they were going to work on next. 'Alright Ralts, next thing we're focusing on is training up your Return attack' Hakudoshi explained to the small Pokemon, causing Ralts to nod his head in determination. He wasn't going to let his trainer down, nor was he going to let himself down. Return was his TM-taught move his trainer had purchased for the tiny Ralts long ago, and the Pokemon couldn't be more grateful for the additional physical move his trainer had taught him those years ago.

Now, all that the Ralts had to do was train the move Return until he was physically capable of performing it without bringing any harm to himself. Thankfully, the requirement for giving it the max power it needed was already achieved, so Hakudoshi didn't need to spend a long time waiting for his precious Ralts to be happy enough around him. Instead, he could focus fully on training his body until he was able to toughen up his small body enough that he could perform Return, and any other physical attack, without hurting himself. It wouldn't be easy, but then again, the things most desired in life weren't always easy to get anyway.

So, with that said and done, Ralts diligently trained himself, and trained himself hard, as he went and worked on his Return move. It was difficult, and really painful, but Ralts was more than capable of handling it, as well as any other challenge that was thrown his way. No one would surpass him, not even his elder sister. He shall be the sword, the valiant knight of his team. He was the one that strode on ahead and pressed on, no matter the difficulties that lay ahead. No matter how difficult this training got, he wouldn't give up at any point in time.

After what seemed like an eternity, Ralts had achieved success, and had now mastered his Return attack. To celebrate, Ralts had jumped into Hakudoshi's arms and excitedly bounced up and down on one of his biceps. He was obviously very happy about how things have turned out, and to be perfectly honest, Hakudoshi couldn't blame him either.
