Pokémon: I am really a civilian trainer

Beside Mark, the Caterpillar stared at the Butterfree dancing in the air with an intoxicated look on his face.

This is a desire that comes from blood genes.

The more beautiful the butterfly is, the stronger its attraction to the caterpillar is.

The Caterpillar imagined himself evolving into a Metapod and then breaking out of his cocoon to become Butterfree.

Until Mark spoke.

The Caterpillar came back to its senses. It first looked at Mark, then looked at the Butterfree on the battlefield again with an expression of disbelief.

Is this the green caterpillar leader?

The ugly one that I study with every night these days?

Why is it so beautiful?

Will it become this beautiful in the future?

While he was thinking, the battlefield changed. The dancing butterflies sprinkled their scales with sparkling powder. As the scales fell, some Arbok snakes and Arbok monsters trembled continuously, and their movements became slow as if they were paralyzed.

Butterfree used the move [Paralysis Powder].

Then, the storm and the screaming came at the same time.

Butterfree's head emitted a sharp buzzing sound, and some Arbok seemed to be affected by the sound, violently attacking everything around them. It was the [Ultrasonic Wave] move that caused some Arbok to fall into confusion.

At the same time, Butterfree's wings fanned out a strong gust of wind, using the [Wind Rising] move to further disrupt the already chaotic group of Arbok Snakes.

It seemed that Butterfree was suppressing the group of Arbok snakes on its own, but the situation soon changed, and the dancing Butterfree suddenly stopped in mid-air.

To be precise, it was suspended in mid-air.

The giant Arbok leader raised its body, the hideous and terrifying patterns on its abdomen flashed violently, and it used Arbok's signature move [Giant Snake Stare].

Reality is not a turn-based Pokémon game where you have to wait for the next turn after using a move.

Arbok took advantage of the situation and launched a large ball of sticky black-purple liquid at Butterfree from its mouth. It was its [Sludge Bomb] move.

At the critical moment, a faint pink energy appeared and deflected the [Sludge Bomb] shot towards Butterfree. This was the [Telekinesis] used by Butterfree.

Unfortunately, the explosion range of the [Sludge Bomb] was too large. Although Butterfree was not directly hit by the explosion, it was also affected. Its wings were damaged by the corrosive sludge and became even more broken.

Fortunately, Butterfree quickly got rid of the state of [Snake Stare], and then it used [Butterfly Dance] again, dancing in the air at a faster speed, and the colorful fluorescence surrounding its body became brighter and brighter.

In the Pokémon game, every time a Pokémon uses [Butterfly Dance], its special attack, special defense, and speed will be increased.

In some ways, [Butterfly Dance] can be said to be the most powerful move mastered by Bug-type Pokémon.

As long as you can continuously stack the buff of [Butterfly Dance], even the strongest opponent can be killed in one move.

Of course, the real world is not a game and cannot be exactly the same as a turn-based game.

But no matter what, the power of [Butterfly Dance] is unquestionable, and it is still a super powerful routine that can continuously stack buffs.

only...

Mark looked at the battlefield with a serious expression. In addition to the damaged wings, Butterfree looked extremely tired and in a very bad mental state. He doubted whether Butterfree's [Butterfly Dance] buff could continue to stack up. Would it suddenly be like a dazzling firework that it could not withstand and would fall from the battlefield and be torn into pieces by those Arboks and Arboks?

Humans are not plants. Over a dozen days, Mark and the Caterpillar leader developed some feelings for each other.

He didn't want to watch the Caterpillar leader die like this.

Then, just as Max was trying to rescue the Caterpillar leader who had evolved into Butterfree during the chaos, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"You are here."

Not only Mark, but also the green caterpillar next to him had a voice in his mind.

Mark realized something, looked at Butterfree on the battlefield, and then responded to the voice in his mind: "Is this telekinesis?"

"Yes, Master Trainer, thank you for training my mind with mathematics these days, otherwise I would not be able to master this power so quickly after evolution.

It's such a pity, if only I had met you earlier, this power would have been even stronger.

Trainer, can I make a request?

Can you and your green caterpillar partner take these children away from here?

I may not be able to hold on for too long. These children are too panicked. If no one leads them, they can't escape far.

I will try my best to stop these Arbok snakes and Arbok monsters here. You take them away to a safe place, make them forget their territory, and don't run back in a daze."

The voice that Butterfree transmitted through telekinesis was very pleasant to the ear, an ethereal and melodious female voice, but the content of the words was very heavy.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Mark took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and agreed to Butterfree's request to help the Caterpillar swarm evacuate.

Although he wanted Butterfree to escape from here in his heart, he respected Butterfree's decision.

Moreover, this is also the best solution for the current situation, using one's own sacrifice in exchange for the chance for tens of thousands of caterpillars to survive.

As for him and Caterpillar facing these Arboks and Arboks directly, Mark is not so arrogant yet.

Although his previous combat training with the Caterpillars and the swarm of Caterpillars seemed reckless, this was all based on the assumption that the threat posed by the swarm of Caterpillars was not high.

Most of the caterpillars only have two moves: [Impact] and [Silking], and they move slowly. Even if his caterpillar falls down during actual combat training, Mark is confident that he can lead it back safely.

Facing these ferocious arbok snakes, even though the Caterpillars could easily kill their way in and out of the swarm, he still felt unsure.

If you are immobilized by the [Giant Snake Stare] of the Arbok leader, it is easy to be taken away in one move.

He was not sure if he could rescue the injured and unconscious Caterpillar from the snake group.

Thinking of this, Mark decided to lead the group of panicked caterpillars on the other side of the battlefield away as requested by Butterfree.

This time, Arbok launched an attack just to expand its territory, so as long as you move away from a certain distance, the Arbok snakes will stop chasing you.

However, just when Mark wanted to take action.

Another voice appeared in his mind, it was from the Caterpillar.

"Why should we give the territory to these Arbok snakes? The territory belongs to the Caterpillars!"

The Caterpillar's voice was like that of a young child, and it seemed that it was the effect of Butterfree's telekinesis, which caused the minds of the three of them to be connected to each other, so they could communicate like this.

"Because we can't deal with these Arbok snakes, don't just stand there, come with me and take those green caterpillars away, you don't want to see all the green caterpillars here die, do you?"

Mark knocked the caterpillar on the head.

He thought the Caterpillars would follow him obediently, and then go around the side of the battlefield to the group of Caterpillars, but he found that the Caterpillars stayed where they were, staring at the Arbok leader and the group of Arbok snakes, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

There wasn't much anger in the Caterpillar's eyes. Instead, they were clear, and revealed a desire to train and become stronger.

"Master, I remember you once said that we should not shrink back just because of the strength of our opponents. I think I can try to drive them away, and I can also train myself through these Arbok snakes..."

In my mind, the voice of the green caterpillar appeared again.

His Caterpillar has always been like this, sometimes very timid, and sometimes surprisingly brave.

Mark glanced at Butterfree who was struggling on the battlefield, then glanced at the Caterpillar who was full of fighting spirit, and finally opened the Spirit Master panel and looked at his [Strong Physical Fitness] and [Toxin Resistance] talents.

Mark took a deep breath, looked around, and picked up a wooden stick that was relatively handy.

Mark looked at the caterpillar and said, "Okay, I agree to your exercise request, but before you do the exercise, I want to test whether we can get out of this unscathed.

Next, I will go to the center of the battlefield to test it. If I ask you for help, or you see me fainting, you will immediately use [Impact (Instant Attack)] to take me to a relatively safe place, feed me some pomelo fruit, and then listen to Butterfree's request and help those caterpillars escape as soon as possible.

Other than that, no matter what happens, you have to wait here for me, and if I can return safely, I will allow you to train with these Arboks and Arboks."

As he spoke, Mark rushed towards the Arbok leader with a stick in his hand, leaving the Caterpillar with a helpless expression.

Clearly, the Caterpillar was full of fighting spirit just now, looking fearless, but when it saw Mark rushing into the battlefield, it instantly became cowardly, with regret in its eyes.

Unfortunately, Mark had already rushed forward, and it was useless for him to regret now.

"No need to cover me, I'm just testing my body's endurance."

Send information to the thoughts of Butterfree in your mind.

Mark accelerated further with the stick in hand.

Just in case, he must test whether he can rescue the Caterpillar and escape safely when the Caterpillar is seriously injured.

So, Mark decided to withstand some attacks to test his body's ability to withstand it and to have a better idea of ​​what to do.

While thinking, Mark ran and jumped continuously to the center of the battlefield. Seeing that the Arboks didn't seem to pay attention to him, he quickly rushed behind the Arbok leader and hit the Arbok leader's tail with a stick.

The Arbok leader roared in pain, turned around and gave Mark a [Big Snake Stare].

Maybe it was because his body was not an elf, or maybe his will was strong, Mark found that he was not frozen as he imagined, but just had goose bumps all over his body, causing his body to feel slow and out of control, but it was not very serious.

Then, Arbok's bloody mouth bit him.

With his physical fitness, he could actually dodge it barely, but based on the principle of testing, Mark did not dodge it completely. He used his arm to endure a bite, then poked the Arbok leader's mouth with a wooden stick, and quickly pulled his arm out to leave the battlefield.

The Arbok leader angrily chased him for nearly thirty meters, and finally gave up. Mark also breathed a sigh of relief.

Through testing, Mark discovered that the speed and sensitivity of the surrounding swarms of Arboretum were not high. In some ways, their reactions were slower than those of the Caterpillars.

When launching an attack, the body moves very quickly, but there is an obvious pre-attack sway, which is easy to predict.

The speed of the Arbok leader is decent, but it would be impossible to catch up with him in a long-distance chase.

As for the toxins injected by the Arbok leader's teeth when he bit, due to his [Toxin Resistance] talent, they were not a big threat, just some stinging and numbness.

In other words, if the Caterpillar was seriously injured, there was a high probability that he could escape with the Caterpillar.

While thinking, Mark had returned to where the caterpillar was.

Time was of the essence, so Mark didn't say any more nonsense.

He first knocked the Caterpillar's head with his fist, which showed a look of worry and regret, then took out the Poké Ball from his pocket and pressed it on the Caterpillar's head.

With a flash of red light, the Caterpillar entered the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball trembled slightly twice and then became quiet.

Mark pressed the button and released the Caterpillar from the Poké Ball. The latter looked at the Poké Ball in Mark's hand blankly, not understanding why Mark suddenly used the Poké Ball on it, because normally it could only be used after two days.

"You and I already have a tacit bond. The influence of the Poké Ball through the life magnetic field is actually not very effective, so I will use it directly on you.

As for the test I just did, it was actually the worst case scenario.

Next, I will always stay near the edge of the battlefield. If I find that you are unable to fight, I will use a Poké Ball to retrieve you, and then quickly flee the battlefield. Unless I encounter a situation where the Poké Ball cannot be retrieved or the distance is too far, I will not get too close to the battlefield.

So next, you will have actual combat training with these Arboks and Arboks!"

Mark patted the Caterpillar's body as he spoke, and then passed the message to Butterfree who was still struggling on the battlefield.

Next, he and the Caterpillars will be responsible for the rear guard, and the evacuation of the Caterpillars will depend on Butterfree himself...
