"Ah—okay, okay."
Hearing Icarus's voice, Airi realized she had been focusing too much on her appearance. She quickly handed the mirror back to him, then closed her eyes and began sensing the extraordinary power within her body.
"Brother Icarus, I feel like the blue energy inside me has increased a lot, and I can also…"
After a moment, Airi opened her eyes and explained, gently waving her right hand.
"Whoosh~"
A water sphere the size of a fist formed above her pale palm.
"Congratulations, Airi! Your water ability has clearly improved a lot. You should train it well—try developing it into something like a Water Bomb or even a Water Gun. If you can shape it freely, then a Water Arrow would be even better. That would be much more lethal.
With that, you'll finally have some means to protect yourself in the wild."
Icarus looked at the floating water sphere with a hint of envy, finally gaining a clearer understanding of the power of natural extraordinary talent.
This is basically like the mages or cultivators from my past life… he thought. But now, her strength is also my strength.
At the same time, he explained some simple ideas like water bullets and water arrows to Airi, drawing from concepts he remembered from novels in his previous life.
"Yeah, Brother Icarus, you're amazing! When I saw this water sphere, I only thought that I wouldn't need to carry water in the wild anymore…"
After listening carefully, Airi looked at him with admiration and nodded firmly.
"Don't worry, Brother Icarus—I'll train hard!"
"Alright. Now, about your Poliwag—Airi, you're its Trainer, so you should command it to demonstrate its moves."
After speaking, Icarus shifted his attention to the Poliwag, though he was still addressing Airi.
"Okay! Poliwag, what moves do you know? Show them on that wooden post!"
"Yo~"
The Poliwag nodded and spat out a large sphere of water, letting it swirl around its body.
"What is this?" Airi asked, confused. Having dropped out of school early, she couldn't recognize the move, though it looked similar to her own water control. She turned to Icarus for help.
"That's Water Sport. It reduces the power of Fire-type moves. But more importantly, you can train with it using the techniques I just mentioned."
Icarus's eyes lit up.
Water Sport is basically water control… If trained properly, it might even allow shaping the water—like armor or arrows…
"Oh! Okay, Poliwag, next move!"
Clearly not realizing its deeper potential, Airi simply followed Icarus's lead.
"Shu~"
The Poliwag withdrew the swirling water and fired two streams of water as thick as fingers toward the wooden post ten meters away.
"Bang!"
The attack hit the target precisely.
"I know this one! That's Water Gun!"
Airi immediately recognized this common move.
By then, Icarus had already walked over to inspect the post. A dent several centimeters deep marked the impact.
"Mm, you're right. I just checked—it's pretty powerful."
Returning, Icarus nodded at the excited Airi.
She really doesn't understand much… I'll have to guide her step by step.
Watching her simply move on without recording anything, Icarus shook his head inwardly.
Training a complete beginner is exhausting…
Still, he took out his notebook and began writing everything down. This time, he would have to record everything himself—later, he'd teach her how to do it properly.
"Yo~ yo~"
This time, the Poliwag made Airi stare at the spiral on its belly. In her vision, the pattern began spinning faster and faster, and soon her eyelids grew heavy.
"Stop! Poliwag!"
Just before she fell asleep, Icarus shouted and shook her awake.
"That was Hypnosis. Poliwag, you're pretty mischievous—trying that on your own Trainer?"
"Yo~ yo~"
The Poliwag wagged its tail as if saying, There's no one else to test it on.
"Gulu gulu~"
Trying to avoid getting scolded, it immediately used another move—spitting out bubbles that splashed against the wooden post.
By then, Airi had followed Icarus over again.
"Hmm… less damage than Water Gun, but wider coverage. It also leaves lingering moisture—useful against fast opponents."
She watched as Icarus wrote this down, half-understanding but still confused.
"Brother Icarus, are you recording data? What's it for?"
"Airi, you need to understand—Trainers are responsible for guiding their Pokémon's growth. To create effective training plans, we first need to understand their current abilities clearly."
He showed her his existing notes.
"Look—these are the training plans for my Victreebel and Pidgeotto."
"Oh… I see!"
Understanding immediately, Airi took out her own notebook and carefully copied everything about Poliwag.
Watching her take notes seriously, Icarus nodded to himself.
Not bad. She picked it up quickly… She's trainable.
"Anything else, Poliwag?" she asked after finishing.
"Yo? …yo…"
The Poliwag thought for a moment, then shook its head, looking a bit dejected.
"It's okay! You're already amazing, Poliwag. We'll train together and grow stronger!"
Airi quickly comforted it, gently patting its head—just like she had seen Icarus do.
"Yo yo~!"
Encouraged, the Poliwag perked up again, full of motivation.

A naturally awakened Water-type user… basically a Western mage or Eastern cultivator. Not bad at all.
