Pokémon Elemental High

Towers of Two Fist!

Ash: Ok Charizard again. Outrage! -energy is embedded around Charizard and a second later it fades away-

Ash: Dragapult keep trying to teach Charizard how to perfect Dragon Rush and learn Outrage!

Dragapult: -flies around the air happily- Ummphhh!

Ash: -goes over to Lucario-

Lucario: LUUUUI!! -shoots an aura sphere then gets in position for an extreme speed. Used extreme speed to catch up to the aura sphere-

Ash: Wow!! Your extreme speed is getting better and better every day. Keep it up. When you're done with that I'm going to try to teach you Bone rush, and Korrina will help with that

-goes to Kubfu hiding under a tree-

Ash: -sits down next to her- And how are you doing -smiles-

Kubfu: Fu... -lays next to him-

Ash: -taps her head- You've also gotten pretty strong huh girl! Charizard been trying to reach you Fire punch, can I see it real fast

Kubfu: -nods and gets up-

Ash: Ok, now!

Kubfu: -gets in a karate stance, focuses, and release a powerful fire punch-

Ash: -hugs and lifts up Kubfu, that was perfect!

-Gurkinn makes his Presence known-

Gurkinn: Seems to me the training is going well

Ash: Oh hey Master Gurkinn! Yeah, your tips are pretty useful. Teaching Charizard Judo and Sumo Wrestling seems to really help

Gurkinn: Yeah, Charizard is a big fellow, it has fast movement and reaction time, but it's combat speed is slower than your Lucario and Dragapult. That's why teaching it styles like Judo, Sumo wrestling, etc. teaches it to use its strong big body to its advantage and deliver powerful attacks that naturally lead into other attacks. Next I'm thinking of teach you Lucario some Kung fu, Tai Chi, and bits of Karate

Ash: I don't really know Martial arts like that so what will those do for my Lucario

Gurkinn: They'll do a lot actually. Tai Chi is rooted in Taoist philosophy seeking to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. It focuses on cultivating internal energy, promoting physical health, and achieving a sense of balance in the body and mind. Techniques consist of a series of slow, fluid movements known as sequences performed in a continuous and connected manner. Karate is similar in a sense, the training methods aim to develop posture, balance, coordination, speed, power, and mental focus. And Kung Fu is a personal favorite of mine, it encompasses not only physical techniques but also philosophical aspects of discipline, respect, self-cultivation, and the pursuit of balance and harmony. Training methods include repetition and sparring drills that apply techniques to refine timing, distance management, and defense.

Ash: I believe it I get. These 3 martial art styles are also perfect for mastering Lucario's aura. It is not trying to make power its main trait like Charizard, or speed, agility, and stealth like Dragapult. It's a perfect balance

Gurkinn: Exactly! Lucario's a special Pokémon that can exceed many things at once, that is one of the reasons why I made it my main partner. Now for that Kubfu of yours

Ash: Well, she's getting there, she's has a lot of natural strength, speed, and skill. I guess that's to be expected from a Legendary Pokemon

Gurkinn: Yeah, but she in particular has always been shy and timid. The only moves she known were focus energy, counter, iron head, and focus punch

Ash: I just recently taught it fire punch, so that 4 in total

Gurkinn: It is what it is. She's waits for her opponent to strike and delivers a single powerful and precise attack and repeats the pattern. I know a few martial arts that can be applied with her type of fighting style. Specifically Jeet Kune Do, Boxing, and maybe even a little archery and fencing.
