Chapter 3: Chapter 3 One hundred and forty-nine thousand six....
There is only one point at the moment, and Mark does not plan to strengthen himself.
In the world of Pokémon, you must strengthen Pokémon first. It is impossible to waste points on trainers. Besides, he currently has no use for either physical strength or poison resistance.
He also has no intention of enhancing the Caterpillar's fifth-dimensional potential.
The reason is simple.
The Caterpillar's five-dimensional score is either F or E. The spirit and perception of the E score cannot be strengthened yet. Investing points in this five-dimensional potential is obviously a thankless task, at least for him now.
Because whether it is an F score or an E score, it is essentially a garbage score. It is not an improvement from A+ to S. For example, an improvement from F to F+ does not actually have much significance.
Therefore, there are only two options left for strengthening, [Silk Spinning] and [Impact].
[Silk Spinning] is to spit out silk threads from the mouth, which is considered a long-range ability. In the real world, the effect of [Silk Spinning] is obviously not comparable to slowing down the opponent in the game. It has many ways of use, and can even be used to create traps.
However, insects in the real world cannot spit out silk threads after they transform from pupae into butterflies. Mark is not sure whether the caterpillar can continue to spit out silk threads after evolving like in the Pokémon game.
If in this world, the Caterpillar is unable to spin silk after evolving in the future, then his adding some [Silk Spinning] will undoubtedly be in vain.
[Collision] is the most unpretentious means of attack in the Pokémon game. The more unpretentious the ability is, the more reliable it will be at critical moments.
Although Butterfree's special attack racial stat is much stronger than its physical attack after its evolution, adding points to [Impact] seems to be a thankless task, but he has no better choice. He can't just sit there and wait until Caterpillar evolves before adding points, right?
The sooner the points are used, the better. This will also allow him to understand the principle of adding points earlier. After thinking for a while, Mark made a decision, which is to strengthen the Caterpillar's [Impact], and strengthen it immediately!
"Caterpillar, I'm going to strengthen your [Impact] move!"
Mark shouted to the green caterpillar that had climbed up the fruit tree.
While he was checking the Spirit Master's system panel, he and the Caterpillar continued to move forward in the forest. At this time, the Caterpillar had found the ripe fruit tree and climbed up.
"hiss?"
The green caterpillar that climbed to the top of the tree turned its head in confusion and looked at Mark below, just in time to see Mark smiling at it.
In Caterpillar's memory, Mark always had a smile on his face.
But the smile of Mark in his memory was the smile of a fool, but the smile that Mark showed at this moment was not stupid at all and looked very handsome.
Buzz——
Just as the Caterpillar was wondering why Mark was so handsome, a strange roar exploded in its mind.
The caterpillar lost its mind for a moment and fell from the fruit tree. Mark rushed up and caught the falling caterpillar in his arms.
"After adding some points, why did the caterpillar faint? There didn't seem to be any changes to its body..."
Mark murmured to himself, while quickly flipping through the system panel.
Then...
Buzz——
The same roar as the green caterpillar also appeared in Mark's mind. Soon, his body staggered and fell, and he fainted...
…
…
Blue sky, white clouds, grass, forest...
It was exactly the same scene, and Mark had woken up from his coma without knowing when.
He walked in the forest with the caterpillar and soon found an open space in his memory.
In the center of the clearing, there was a huge dry and rotten tree stump.
The caterpillar followed him obediently, seemed to notice his gaze, and waved its front legs at him a few times, looking very energetic.
Mark nodded slightly and said, "Green Caterpillar, let's practice [Impact] today!"
"Hiss!"
The Caterpillar nodded very obediently.
Mark pinched his chin and said, "[Impact], as the name suggests, is to use all the strength of the body to impact, so as to severely injure the opponent. In fact, I don't quite understand the specific principle.
But after all, I am a small town test-taker and I have accumulated some knowledge, so I can try to analyze it.
I think that in order to increase the power of [Impact], the power of the body should be condensed into a whole, and then the power should be concentrated into one point and used to attack the opponent.
In addition, you should use all your strength when impacting, but you should not use all your strength. You should leave some spare strength to react to the situation after the impact."
The caterpillar raised its head and listened carefully to Mark's words. Its expression was a little confused, as if it didn't quite understand.
Mark said, "Okay, don't worry too much if you can't figure it out. No matter how much you think about it, it's better to practice it. I'll demonstrate it first, and you imitate my movements."
Bang!
Bang!
Mark and the caterpillar hit the tree stump one after another.
Mark murmured softly: "My demonstration just now was a little lacking. It seems that we still need to slowly explore this collision together..."
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Mark smiled and said, "Then let's continue!"
The man and the insect kept hitting the wooden stake.
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, the man and the insect finally lay exhausted in the open space next to the tree stump...
"Green Caterpillar, we'll continue tomorrow!"
"Hiss!"
The moon sets and the sun rises, and another day comes.
Mark and the Caterpillar continued to attack the wooden stakes, practicing the collision.
one day...
Another day...
There was a huge rainstorm that day, but the man and the insect were present and continued to hit the tree stump in the rain.
Before we knew it, the weather had turned cooler, the trees in the forest began to wither, and golden leaves kept falling.
The weather was still getting colder, and a light snow fell from the sky, but the man and the insect still did not stop.
As the Caterpillar became more and more proficient in the collision, Mark no longer demonstrated the collision, but simply practiced with the Caterpillar and provided guidance.
Then, spring came and everything came back to life.
In the summer, there were unusually many heavy rains this year.
Autumn has arrived again without us noticing.
The seasons rotate and time passes.
The surrounding scenes kept changing, the only things that remained unchanged were Mark and the Caterpillar who kept practicing collisions.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The rhythmic sound of collision continued.
In the open space, Mark still looked thoughtful. He pinched his chin lightly and analyzed the shortcomings of the Caterpillar's recent impacts.
The caterpillar should have continued to hit the tree stump at this time, but suddenly it stopped in a daze.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The caterpillar jumped excitedly, as if it had discovered something, and looked very excited.
Mark turned his head to look at the Caterpillar, and saw that the Caterpillar had rushed towards the tree stump again!
Green Hair gathered all his strength into one whole, and concentrated the strength into one point. A strange warm current flowed out from his muscles and blood all over his body...
boom!!
This was a completely different collision. The green caterpillar was like a fierce cannonball, fiercely bombarding the wood pile. Countless dead wood fragments fell wantonly, and smoke and dust were scattered everywhere...
…
…
Thick smoke from wood chips obscured Mark's vision. He tried hard to see the caterpillar that had completed the collision, but he felt a little dazed and dizzy, and his vision became increasingly blurred.
Then, Mark woke up.
Not only Mark, but also the green caterpillar in his arms woke up.
Mark half opened his mouth. The memory of practicing the collision was like a dream, yet surprisingly clear, even clearer than Mark's own memory. He clearly remembered the time spent in that memory, and even the number of times he collided with the Caterpillar.
He practiced with the Caterpillar for three years, five months and twenty-seven days, performing a total of 1,149,620 collisions!
The green caterpillar crawled out of Mark's arms.
The memory of the collision over the past three years was not only remembered by Mark, but also by Caterpillar.
But compared to Mark, the Caterpillar was obviously a little confused about the situation.
Wasn't it just climbing a tree to pick fruits?
Why did it have an extra memory of practicing [collision] with its master, and practiced for a long time?
Was it a dream?
But what about the warm current that was faintly emerging in its body?
The caterpillar tilted its head, looking at the fruit tree in front of it in a daze, and rubbed its head with its forelimbs, but still couldn't figure out the situation.
Forget it, I'll just give it a try.
The caterpillar took a few steps back and then began to accumulate strength. It recalled the key points of the [impact], condensed the strength of its body into a whole, and then concentrated the condensed whole strength into one point of its body. The warm current also appeared at this time...
Whoosh——
Like a green cannonball, the caterpillar suddenly leaped out and fiercely rammed the fruit tree in front of it!
Boom! !
With a loud crash, the unknown fruit tree as thick as a bucket broke!
The caterpillar stood beside the broken tree and rubbed its head with its legs. It felt a little dizzy, probably because of the reaction force of the collision. Besides that, it still didn't understand the situation and felt that its mind was in a mess...
