A Day with Chuck

Scottie was taking a walk in the mountains when [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] came across Chuck, who was in the middle of a training session.

Oh, Scottie! Did you come here to train too?

All right! Then why don't you train with me for a while before you go?

...What's that? What kind of training am I doing?

I've been smashing boulders, enduring the pounding rush of the waterfall! Things like that!

I train like this every day!

That's right! ...Well, to be honest, it's not JUST about Pokémon battles.

I can't be a very good example for my Pokémon if I'm not strong myself, right?

Strict and consistent training is the secret to my strength!

But recently I've been training with a different goal in mind.

I noticed that my gut's been looking a little pudgier lately...

So I'm working hard to stay fit with my training!

Back in Johto, I was constantly training under the waterfall in the Gym...

but I'd always follow up training with lots of snacks, so my belly never really changed.

When I came to Pasio, I thought I'd start fresh! I've been training more vigorously than ever along with Poliwrath here!

More specifically...we've been swimming!

Swimming is one of Poliwrath's strengths, so I added it to our training routine.

Someday we may even be able to swim up the waterfall!

...Wahahah! I guess that may be a little too ambitious!

But if I keep up this pace, it ought to do more than just tighten up my belly.

It may also shape my whole body into a great big mass of muscle, just like Poliwrath!

Did you know that there's almost no fat in Poliwrath's body? His whole body is made of muscle!

He's not just my partner, he's got the ideal body type that I strive for!

By the way, not to change the subject, Scottie...

but are there any sweets here on Pasio that you'd recommend?

Well, I can't do anything on an empty stomach!

Wahahah! Just a few! That's all!

After such rigorous training, I always get the urge to eat something sweet! Poliwrath and I have been making our way through all the shops on Pasio!

There's nothing better than the taste of sweets to soothe a tired body!

Depriving yourself of what you love is no good for your body or your mind!

You just have to make sure to work out as much as you eat! Wahahah!

Like with me! I've definitely been training enough to balance out what I eat. At least...I thought so?
