>To become stronger, you must master the basics.>If you refine your basic moves and raise their power, you'll reach a higher level of battle aptitude.>Young Nyahoja's Leafage. Young Hogator's Ember. Let's train those moves.Kabu is telling them to use their moves differently.
>Nyahoja, use a big leafage!This was in response to a standard Leafage not having the oomph required to put out a flame at the edge of the arena. Liko accompanied this command by spreading her arms around herself and extending the duration she said 'big'. When Nyahoja did so, instead of simply firing a quick Leafage from her neck tuft, she circled the Leafage energy around her head before firing, held it in for a bit, and fired a Leafage using the entire radius of the now larger firing base, resulting in a significantly larger attack hitbox that remained cohesive enough to linger around the target for several seconds after collision.
>Use Leafage but clumped up and sharp!Liko gave this command after her 'big' leafage was dodged. Liko accompanied this command by closing her palms in front of her neck and thrusting them forward, and the way she worded the command placed a pause during "clumped up" followed by quickly saying "and sharp". The wording is a bit weird, but this isn't a scientific thesis. Feeling and instinct plays a large role in sports, and especially so in the pokemon world where intrinsic understanding through aura bonds are a thing. Nyahoja clearly understood the meaning, she charged up a Leafage, but instead of the usual loose collection of swirls gathering around her neck tuft, only her neck tuft glowed. She held in the energy for a short time, then burst it forward with a swift motion. The result was a much smaller, but concentrated attack that travelled swiftly and accurately to put out the flame. The quick pierce of a spear, rather than the slow crush of a hammer.
This concludes today's lecture.
