Pokémon: I am really a civilian trainer

After picking two more pomelo fruits from the tree, Mark and the caterpillar leader returned to the campfire.

The Caterpillar leader quickly entered the hammock and shook his body to make the hammock shake.

It can be seen that the Caterpillar leader likes this hammock very much.

As for Mark, he broke the pomelo fruit open, stuffed most of the pulp into the mouth of the sleeping caterpillar, and then ate a small piece himself.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a super superior substitute for Orange Fruit.

Originally, under the effect of the orange fruit, the caterpillar's injuries were already slowly repairing themselves. After taking the pomelo fruit, the caterpillar's recovery speed suddenly increased by more than one level.

In just over a minute, the various injuries on the Caterpillar's body were completely healed, and there was almost no trace left.

Not only that, some scars on the caterpillar's body are also fading with the passage of time.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that the experience points provided are not very many, only about twice that of the same weight of orange fruit, and the feeling of fullness is extremely strong.

He only put a small piece in his mouth, but he felt his stomach was full and satisfied and didn't want to eat anything else.

This also completely extinguished Mark's idea of ​​over-picking these pomelo fruits.

After all, the number of pomelo fruits is too scarce, so there is no need to drain the pond for a little experience.

As the night grew darker, the caterpillar leader soon fell asleep in the hammock, while Mark stared at the fire, keeping watch silently.

Three Arbok snakes sneaked over when the two caterpillars were sleeping, but under Mark's gaze, they quickly escaped silently.

No words were spoken that night.

Near the early morning, the Caterpillar leader woke up, Mark took a nap, and then a new round of practical training for the Caterpillars began...

Just like that, one day, two days, three days...

Mark and the Caterpillar lived deep in the Caterpillar territory.

During the day, Mark took the Caterpillar to conduct actual combat training with the Caterpillar swarm, perfecting his combat skills and working hard to gain experience.

At night, Mark teaches the Caterpillars mathematics with the Caterpillar leader.

During this process, Mark will also take the time to teach the [Impact Training Method] to some of the better individuals in the Caterpillar swarm to improve the overall strength of the Caterpillar swarm.

At the same time, Mark did not forget to use the [Impact Training Method] regularly for the Cowardly Bug Pokémon Egg to accelerate the Cowardly Bug from becoming his imperial spirit.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Late at night, deep in the Caterpillar's territory, there was an identical fire.

A silver thread was hanging in front of Mark, and below the silver thread, an Pokémon egg with a blue wavy pattern was spinning continuously.

In ten days, the cowardly bug Pokémon egg had become his guardian spirit.

…

[Mark]

[Occupation: Spirit Master]

[Experience: 78%]

[Points: None]

[Imperial Spirit: Green Caterpillar, Cowardly Bug (hatching progress 88.73%)]

…

Detailed information about the cowardly bug is still not available, but there is an additional hatching progress.

At this point the cowardly bug is about to hatch, and as long as it hatches 11% more, it will break out of the shell.

As for why Mark used a silk thread to hang the Pokémon egg next to the fire, it was because this could speed up the hatching of the cowardly bug.

Mark speculated that the hatching of the gnats should prefer an environment with slightly higher temperatures.

"Hiss?"

I don't know when the green caterpillar came over, and its round eyes were fixed on the spinning cowardly insect Pokémon egg.

Mark tapped the caterpillar's head gently and said, "Didn't I just tell you that it will take three to four days to hatch? Have you solved all the questions I just gave you? Go study with the caterpillar leader!"

"Hiss, hiss."

The caterpillar chirped twice, as if telling the timid caterpillar to hatch quickly, and then reluctantly moved to the side of the caterpillar leader and continued to write the addition and subtraction exercises that Mark had left for him.

After ten nights of study, the Caterpillar not only learned to count backwards, but also learned addition and subtraction. The progress is quite good. At present, addition and subtraction within ten have been solved, and he is trying addition and subtraction within one hundred.

Compared to the Caterpillar, the Caterpillar Leader may have a gap in basic knowledge. Currently, he has just understood the concept of numbers and learned to count forwards and backwards. However, his learning progress is good and he should be able to catch up with the Caterpillar after a while.

As for why the green caterpillar is so concerned about the hatching of the cowardly worm.

On the one hand, it is true that Caterpillar wants to have a partner who can fight alongside it and participate in TV competitions together, but the bigger reason is because of the Poké Ball.

Yes, Poké Balls.

After Mark and the Caterpillar agreed that he would return to Qingxi Village to buy a Poké Ball for the Scared Bug after it hatched, the Caterpillar would always ask about the hatching progress of the Scared Bug after a while.

After all, the caterpillar had learned to count backwards a few days ago and could write numbers fluently on the ground with a branch.

It can be said that Caterpillar has already received the funding from the village chief.

Looking at the Caterpillar's absent-minded expression, Mark sighed softly.

In fact, the Caterpillar's absent-mindedness is not only reflected in his studies. He is occasionally absent-minded during practical training during the day these days, resulting in unsatisfactory training results and reduced efficiency in gaining experience.

Of course, this is not the only reason why the efficiency of experience acquisition is reduced.

The reason is that the Caterpillar has accumulated more practical experience and has become more at ease.

As actual combat becomes easier, the amount of experience gained naturally decreases.

There are also reasons related to breath.

As they live in the Caterpillar Territory for a long time, the aura of the Caterpillars has changed unconsciously, causing ordinary Caterpillars to sometimes fall into a confused state of "Why should I attack my companions?"

The combination of all the above factors resulted in Mark making a lot of efforts, but his and Caterpillar's experience gain efficiency was not improved, and in the end they could only gain about 6% of experience on average every day.

However, compared with the unsatisfactory experience accumulation, the effect of the caterpillar eating orange fruit and pomelo fruit has already appeared.

There was no change in the first two days, but as the caterpillar began to eat on the third day, it broke through the bottleneck of its body and began to develop again.

In the past eight days, the caterpillar's body size has grown a little every day. The growth rate reached a peak on the fourth day, and then began to slowly decrease.

At present, the caterpillar's body size has grown to about 93 centimeters. Mark estimates that if it eats two more pomelo fruits, the caterpillar's body size will reach a new limit, which is about one meter, or maybe a little less than one meter, between 98 and 99 centimeters.

In addition to the changes in body shape, the Caterpillar's panel has also changed.

…

[Green Caterpillar]

[Five-dimensional potential:]

[Strength: F][Physique: F][Agility: F+][Spirit: E][Sense: E+]

[Features: Scale powder]

[Special Ability: Evolution]

[Skills: Impact (charged attack, instant attack, hard and soft penetrating attack, multi-stage combo), silk spinning, insect bite]

…

The five-dimensional potential's [physique] was originally F-, but after eating orange fruit and pomelo fruit continuously on the third day, it was improved to F.

Mark guessed that the breakthrough in [Physical Fitness] potential was directly related to the secondary development of the Caterpillar's body size.

In other words, if he wanted the Caterpillar to continue growing, he only needed to add points to its [Physical Fitness] potential.

While thinking, Mark took the rabbit meat roasting on the fire and took two bites.

Then, Mark stood up.

"Let's go back to the village. We'll prepare today and buy Poké Balls tomorrow."

Looking at the green caterpillar holding a branch and absentmindedly writing numbers a few meters away, Mark suddenly spoke.

In fact, according to Mark's original idea, he had to at least wait until the cowardly bugs hatched, then accumulate points to add points, and then return to the village to buy Poké Balls after these things were dealt with.

However, Caterpillar wanted the Poké Ball very much.

It's like a child in the family who wants new clothes that all the other children have.

It would be fine if he couldn't afford new clothes, but not only could he afford it, but he also did it easily.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the Caterpillar, he really couldn't bear it, and finally changed his mind. He decided to return to the village early and deal with the Caterpillar's Poké Ball first before doing anything else.

"hiss?"

"Hiss!!"

The Caterpillar was in disbelief at first, then it jumped and somersaulted twice on the spot, then quickly climbed onto Mark's shoulder, rubbing its head against Mark's cheek and neck continuously.

Having grown so big, it was no longer possible for the caterpillar to climb to Mark's shoulder, but the caterpillar still tried hard to climb up.

Mark said with disgust, "I've told you many times not to act like a spoiled child to me. And why do you always act like a spoiled child, you big bug? If you continue to act like a spoiled child, I will change my mind and go back in a few days!"

Faced with Mark's disgust, the Caterpillar not only did not stop, but became closer and kept rubbing against Mark's cheek.

A few meters away, the caterpillar leader put down the branch he was holding on his legs and stared at the man and the insect playing together. There was a hint of curiosity and envy in his eyes...
