Pokémon: I am really a civilian trainer

"The caterpillars and I accidentally encountered a group of caterpillars in the forest. After some contact, these caterpillars were willing to go to the caterpillar breeding base in Qingxi Village, so I brought them back."

Mark replied.

He had already thought of this statement.

He didn't want to deceive Uncle Aaron, who had always taken good care of him, nor did he want to expose the territory of the Caterpillar swarm for the time being, so he told the truth while concealing some things.

Old Man Aaron glanced at the hundreds of green caterpillars in the yard, then looked at Mark's green caterpillar. He suddenly thought of something and showed a look of realization.

Old Man Aaron said thoughtfully: "Although the green caterpillars live in scattered patterns in the forest, sometimes some of them gather together.

Your green caterpillar is tall and strong, so it must have been recognized by these Pokémons as the leader, so they voluntarily followed your green caterpillar to Qingxi Village. It's just that the probability of this happening is not high, and it's estimated that you may not succeed once in a hundred times, so you are really lucky..."

Mark nodded slightly.

In fact, Uncle Aaron's guess was not far off.

Uncle Aaron just misjudged the number of green caterpillars, thinking that there were only more than a hundred of them. He also guessed the positions of the green caterpillars wrong. Apart from that, there was basically no difference.

His Caterpillars were not recognized as the Caterpillar Leader, but as the Leader's Guards.

As his caterpillars continued to practice combat in the caterpillar territory, due to the change in aura, some caterpillars mistakenly believed that his caterpillars were of the same kind and did not attack them. Also, due to the tall size of the caterpillars, they would regard them as the leader's guards.

The more than one hundred green caterpillars he brought this time are the diehards among them.

They also mistakenly identified the Caterpillars as the leader's guards. Some Caterpillars were able to repent under the instructions of the Caterpillar leader, but there were hundreds of diehard Caterpillars who, even after the Caterpillar leader explained, were still foolishly unable to distinguish the situation, and always believed that their Caterpillars were the leader's guards, and then slacked off in actual combat training.

The more than one hundred green caterpillars that Mark brought back to the village this time are the weaker part of these diehard elements, and he has already obtained the consent of the green caterpillar leader.

The caterpillars living in Qingxi Forest are constantly facing various threats, and these weak caterpillars are more likely to be targeted by bird predators.

Taking these caterpillars to the Qingxi Village caterpillar breeding base where they will have no worries about food and drink is a win-win situation in some ways.

He can earn a little money, and these caterpillars can live a stable life.

In addition, it will also pave the way for his Caterpillar to become the leader of the breeding base in the future.

While Mark was still thinking, Old Man Aaron had already walked towards the green caterpillar in the yard.

Compared to their familiarity with Mark, the caterpillars in the yard were obviously wary of Old Man Aaron.

Seeing Old Man Aaron approaching, most of the caterpillars kept retreating, and two of them even showed stress reactions, hunching their bodies as if their fur had exploded.

If Old Man Aaron continues to get closer, the two caterpillars will spray smelly liquid at him just like they do with their bird enemies.

However, this is not the first time that Old Man Aaron has faced this situation.

He first took out a handful of powder and sprinkled it around himself to remove his human smell, then took out a piece of feed that looked like a black sausage and handed it to the nearby caterpillar.

Most of the caterpillars would refuse the food handed to them by a stranger, but after one brave caterpillar came over and took a bite, the other caterpillars quickly came over, and soon they all scrambled to eat the food in Old Man Aaron's hands.

"The caterpillar is a docile creature that follows the herd very well. If you only brought back a few caterpillars, it would not be easy to deal with them. But with so many caterpillars, it would be much easier."

Old Man Aaron explained with a smile while using his palm to touch and press the green caterpillar that came near him.

"You brought these green caterpillars this time, which is not bad. Each one can be sold for about 60 Pokedollars. But since you brought so many at once, I will give you 62 Pokedollars each. These green caterpillars can be sold for nearly 7,000 Pokedollars."

Mark raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can it be sold for 62 Pokedolars?"

Old Man Aaron frowned slightly and said, "I have already specially subsidized you for this price, so don't be ungrateful."

Mark quickly explained: "Uncle Aaron, you misunderstood. I just think the price is a bit high. Didn't you say that according to the quality of the caterpillars, one caterpillar can be exchanged for 35 to 100 Pokedollars? These caterpillars should be relatively small in size."

Old Man Aaron suddenly realized, "That's what you don't know. Although the caterpillars you brought are a little smaller, the quality and quantity of the silk threads they spit out are not entirely determined by their size. If the caterpillars you brought have enough feed, the silk threads they spit out should be good."

Mark showed an expression of realization, and the green caterpillar next to him used [Silk Spinning] directly on the ground near Old Man Aaron.

After learning from the Caterpillar Leader for the past few days, the Caterpillar's [Silk Spinning] has made some progress.

Although he couldn't spit out a web directly like the Caterpillar leader, he could spit out two silk threads at a time.

Seeing the caterpillar trying hard to show itself, old man Aaron smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. The silk thread you spit out is better than theirs. I estimate that it can be sold for 200 Pokedollars, no, 250 Pokedollars will be enough. Then tomorrow you will go to the caterpillar breeding base with these caterpillars to spin silk on time every day. I will give you good food and drink every day. You can live peacefully in the caterpillar breeding base, and your owner will save time in training you..."

As Old Man Aaron spoke, the Caterpillar looked excited at first, but soon realized something. There was some confusion in his eyes, and he looked at Mark for help.

Mark shook his head helplessly, rubbed the caterpillar's head and said, "Uncle Aaron is just kidding you. How could I let you stay alone in the caterpillar breeding base?"

Hearing Mark's words, the Caterpillar breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, it almost thought that it was going to be separated from Mark.

Old Man Aaron also touched the caterpillar's head, then turned to look at Mark: "Speaking of which, your caterpillar has grown in size again, is it because of eating those orange fruits?"

Mark did not hide it completely, and took out two pomelo fruits from his pocket and said: "In fact, it's not just orange fruits. My caterpillars also eat this kind of tree fruit."

Old Man Aaron's face became serious and he asked, "Pomelo fruit?"

Mark nodded and said, "Well, I saw its introduction in the "Encyclopedia of Shia Kingdom Pokémons (IV)". It should be this kind of tree fruit. The pomelo tree I found still has some fruits. These two are for you. After all, you have been taking good care of me during this period of time."

Old Man Aaron looked at Mark for a while with a complicated expression, "Give it to me? Do you know the value of this kind of fruit?"

Mark shook his head.

"Ten thousand." Seeing Mark's indifferent expression, Old Man Aaron continued, "Ten thousand per fruit, and there is no market for it. Unlike the orange fruit, the artificial cultivation of the pomelo fruit in the Xia Kingdom has never been successful. In fact, ten thousand per fruit is only the official price. In some private transactions, the price of pomelo fruit is even higher. Are you sure you want to give me both of these fruits?"

"Um."

Looking at Mark's unhesitating expression, Old Man Aaron's expression showed a hint of relief, but also a hint of helplessness.

Old Man Aaron finally shook his head and sighed, "Child, although you have become smart, you still lack experience in some areas. Remember, you must be on guard against others. If something similar happens in the future, don't tell anyone, not even me. By the way, you didn't tell anyone about the Wenyou fruit, did you?"

"No."

Old Man Aaron nodded and said, "That's good. Keep the matter of the pomelo tree to yourself and don't tell anyone. The value of the pomelo tree is too great, and it is definitely not something a kid like you can afford. You must immediately dispose of the pomelo fruits you pick. If you see a stranger near the pomelo tree, be sure to hide and don't approach.

As for the two pomelo fruits, let me take care of them. They can almost replace a [Electric Grid] move learning device for your Caterpillar. Although the [Electric Grid] move can be learned after the Caterpillar evolves, it is still easier to learn during the Caterpillar period, and the effect is better. "

"Uncle Aaron, actually..."

Old Man Aaron waved his hand to interrupt Mark who was about to refuse, and then changed the subject: "It's not a good idea to leave these green caterpillars in the yard. The chrysanthemum seedlings I planted by the wall will be eaten away by them. Let's transport these green caterpillars to the breeding base at night..."
