"Moxy! use confuse ray!"
Ralts shouted in agreement and released a beam of condensed Ghost TE. It flew towards our opponent, a Gravler made out of whitish stone, i think its limestone but I'm not sure.
It shruged off the beam, barely affected by the confusion, it was the 4th one that hit the wild stone type. That was fine, I was under no delusion that one attack would be enough to seriosly damage it. We were here for the long shot.
The Gravler started glowing with white energy and charged, a tackle. A split second before it reached Ralt, Moxy teleported away. Sadly not very far.
Ralts panted, clearly exhausted. They had to constantly teleport to avoid getting hit. Ralts were not quite the physical tanks after all.
"Double team!" I shouted in a last ditch effort but before Moxy could form the various after images Gravler was upon them striking them with a glowing fist, knocking
Ralts out instantly.
I returned them to their modified premier ball. It was modified to have almost no holding power, that may seem counter productiv but that would only be the case if you were to force a Pokemon to stay with you. Moxy stays with me purley on her own volition and thanks to the modifications she can pop out if I'm in danger, if one were to hack the Pokeball she also wouldn't be trapped inside. I learned my lesson from playing Pokémon Scarlet thank you very much!
"Thank you Gravler!" I said while bowing to him. After giving him some berries he grunted in acknowledged and rolled away.
After returning home I took care of my Ralts injuries by spraying them with a Potion.
"Increadibly job Moxy! You held up against such a strong opponent for 6 minutes! That's a new record!" Given the fact that the Ralts line are natural empaths Moxy could feel my pride in their skill and hard work.
We choose to mostly fight stronger Pokémon, that may mean we lose a lot but thanks to it we learn way more out of our losses then we would if we faught weaker one.

Moxy was quite big for a Ralts altough that doesn't mean much saying that they only reach slightly above my knees. They also have a black dress instead of a white one, which surprised me at first because the dress like skin shiny Ralts have is still white. Ana explained to me that pokemon have lots of different colors, Moxy has a black dress because their father was a Grimmsnarl and that apparently can influence it. Geodudes that live in volcanos tend to be black. Some Trapinch are completely white. Magikarp are sometimes spotted and there are pink Butterfree. just like different animals on earth.
The games were not perfectly accurate, stats for example are completly different. There is no way Rayquasa, basicly a god designed after a rocket would be slower than a Voltorb.
"Time for me to bake!" I say with a smile on my face. Moxy looked disgusted for a split second before trying to school their features but I noticed and slumped my shulders.
"Raaa, ts." Moxy said to cheer me up patting me on my knee.
"I mean it's not that bad! Is it?"
My only answere was Moxy avoiding eye contact with me.
A flash of light anounced the arrival of Ana and Guardy.
"I felt a disturbance in the force. As if a billion taste buds screamed in pain at the same time! I will be keeping a close eye on you!"

"It is burned, yet also raw inside. You used salt instead of sugar...How is that possible? I watched you the entire time and you never even went close to the salt shaker, your temperatur was set correctly as was the timer! By all acounts it should not be this bad!"
"Raaaararar!" Moxy agreed nodding wisely.
"I...I don't know! I think I may be cursed!"
"That settles it! You will be kept away from the kitchen!"
An hour later and we had the most delightful carrot cake courtesy of Ana and Guardy.
I tried sulking through it but it was just too good to not be happy about it.
While they were cooking Moxy and I were levitating of the ground as a stamina exercises. My top score was 5 seconds while Moxy managed 45. I pretended that it was because Moxy was way lighter then me. We repeated this exercises till we had no more energy to spare. Morgana recommended we do smaller exercises all throughout the day and then spend a few hours a day doing intense training.
Besides Friday's, Friday we had our so called Hyper Training in which Guardy would set up a weak Misty terrain. It was used to acclimate Moxys body to more fairy energy so it would be easier to build up the strength as well as a very weak gravity to build up our body's. We complained a lot about it! What would Ralts need physical strengh for? Ridiculous! Well to be fair it makes us go faster which is almost always a bonus. So we let it slide.
It was not recommended to do that every day because it strained the body a lot.
And like that we continued our daily life. Train, Train, Get our shit kicked in by stronger Pokémon, Train, learn life skills (besides cooking) and train more.
