The little man wearing a straw hat stood in the grass and looked around.
[You were born in Changqing City, from an ordinary family]
Suddenly, a green caterpillar emerged from the grass, and the straw hat man threw a red ball, which sucked the green caterpillar in.
[When you were ten years old, you met your first partner in the evergreen forest: the green caterpillar, and you embarked on a journey]
After this line of text appeared, a pixel animation of a green caterpillar appeared in the bottom corner of the screen.
Kashiwagi, who was lying on his back, changed his position, thinking that this first simulation was actually the beginning of an insect-catching boy.
The screen changes.
The insect-catching boy appeared in front of a big house, walked into it and met an old man with slicked-back hair.
A "fierce" battle began.
The specific process is basically that the green caterpillar is released, and then the armored rhinoceros released by the opponent is instantly pushed away.
Although there was no background music, the bursting bubbles that appeared on the wall when the green caterpillar was hit were enough to show how serious the collision was.
[You lost to the Evergreen Gym Leader and failed to get the first badge]
Kashiwagi: "?"
etc!
Go to the gym without leveling up? Or use green caterpillars?
The screen went from black to bright again, and the insect-catching boy entered the Evergreen Gym again under Kashiwagi's blank sight.
What happened just now was reproduced again, and the exact same words appeared.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
wait wait wait--!!
A green caterpillar enters the gym without leveling up, without learning any lessons?
This is not a hot-blooded young man who is just starting out. He is clearly a brainless young man who has no repentance!
Kashiwagi looked at the illusory screen with repeated content in silence.
The tenth challenge failed.
The content finally changed.
[You lost to the Evergreen Gym Leader. Your tenacity and perseverance were recognized by him and you received the green badge]
A green wheat ear pattern appears below the green caterpillar.
Kashiwagi was speechless and choked. Isn't this badge given to Sakaki purely because he was annoyed?
At the same time that the insect-catching boy received the badge, the green caterpillar's appearance suddenly changed, from a caterpillar to a pupa.
[Your green caterpillar evolves into an armored pupa]
Finally evolved...
It was just the beginning, but Kashiwagi felt inexplicably tired.
In the picture, the insect-catching boy left Evergreen City and came to a dense forest. Facing the golden caterpillars that emerged from the grass, this boy sent out the armored chrysalis.
Just when he was wondering how to subdue him, the former suddenly hit the latter, knocking him unconscious.
[You captured the second Pokémon in the Evergreen Forest: Unicorn Bug, and you have more companions on the journey]
... A stupid trainer and a stupid Pokémon are a match made in heaven, which is great.
Kashiwagi suddenly wanted an acceleration button.
Screen change.
The insect-catching boy came to a stone city at the foot of a huge rock mountain.
[You came to Nibi City, and the towering stone mountains made your blood boil, so you decided to challenge the gym]
As expected.
Leveling up?
What is leveling?
At least Kashiwagi has never seen this guy let Pokémon battle wild Pokémon. He is just like a gym machine, and he doesn't care about the special training that can be used to make the Pokémon stronger after failure.
Although Xiaozhi said that several badges were obtained through charity, he at least knew how to capture a few more Pokémon!
Can you fight armored pupae, unicorn worms, etc.? You can't fight them, you don't have the ability, you know.
Like Changqing Gym, Bug Catcher Boy failed to challenge the gym for the tenth time, but also won the appreciation of the gym leader with his perseverance.
[You got the gray badge]
An octagonal gray gem pattern appeared below the unicorn insect. At the same time, the armored pupa and the unicorn insect were both enveloped in white light.
A large butterfly and a golden chrysalis transform into shapes.
[Your armored pupa evolves into a giant butterfly, and your unicorn worm evolves into an iron-shelled pupa. You are so happy that you decide to leave today for the next city]
Finally one of them finally evolved.
Kashiwagi breathed a sigh of relief, and what made him even more happy was that the insect-catching boy seemed to be enlightened.
[You captured the third Pokémon: Furball at the foot of Mount Moonmi, and you have more companions on the journey]
[You captured the fourth Pokémon: Paras in the Moon Mountain Cave, and you have more companions on the journey]
[You lost to a strange trainer]
[You defeated a strange trainer]
[Your iron-shelled pupa evolves into a giant needle wasp]
A series of gratifying scenes gradually emerged after the insect-catching boy entered the Yuejian Mountain area. The hot-blooded boy seemed to be turning into a normal trainer.
until--
[You have come to Hualan City, which is surrounded by waterways and has abundant water resources]
The insect-catching boy went to the Hualan Gym as usual, but was told that the gym owner had gone out to perform a mermaid show.
Performance?
Is this an animated background?
Kashiwagi was shocked. He had always thought it was based on a game. After all, only the cities in the game appeared in it, while there were many original towns in the animation.
He suddenly had an unknown premonition, and this premonition soon came true.
When the insect-catching boy came to the place where the Hualan Gym Leaders were performing, an encounter happened.
[You accidentally bumped into a girl, apologizing to each other made you feel happy, and you left your contact information]
[You contact that girl, you two have a good chat and decide to go on a trip together]
[You started to challenge Hualan Gym. Although you failed, the girl’s presence made you braver to challenge again]
[You guys started dating]
Isn’t it right? Isn’t it?
What's going on with the dog food that's almost overflowing from the screen? The trainer simulator has turned into a love simulator!
Did you agree that it is possible to have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex? Doesn’t it mean that you have to have a relationship?
Kashiwagi suddenly turned over and sat up.
The insect-catching boy was originally a passionate idiot trainer. After getting a girlfriend, his fighting spirit has not changed, but the scenes of the two of them alone have increased significantly.
The rough combat details are also out of place.
Originally, when I fought seven or eight times, I could always figure out some tricks and fight back and forth once or twice.
As a result, when I arrived at the Hualan Gym, I could fight back and forth a few times at the beginning, but then I was defeated by one move every time.
By the time I was praised for my perseverance for the tenth time, I was completely reduced to a noob.
Pokémon don't evolve anymore.
Seeing the two villains holding hands in the picture, without encountering any wild battles, they conquered the fifth Pokémon and came to the Golden City to continue the battle like before.
Kashiwagi's heart kept sinking.
Nazhi, the leader of the Golden Gym, is a rigorous superpower. Her personality is completely different from the previous three. Even if the insect catching boy loses ten times, she refuses to give out the golden badge.
Just when he was thinking about how the insect-catching boy would break the situation, the ending suddenly came.
The screen suddenly turned dark.
[The Quartz Conference is officially held. If you only have three badges, you missed the Quartz Conference]
[End of simulation]
The virtual screen freezes on the insect-catching boy's fifteenth defeat.
"...This simulates the story of a conference."
Kashiwagi's expression looked like he had watched a bad movie. Who would have thought that a passionate insect-catching boy would suddenly turn into a love-minded boy.
Going to the gym so many times is already a waste of time, but having a girlfriend is even more of a waste of time. If you want to say that a girlfriend can make the insect-catching boy stronger, forget it.
What does it mean to be weak?
Love is supposed to be empowering, right? What a simulator!
Thinking like this, a few lines of words jumped out in front of his eyes.
[Choice Reward 1: Any Pokémon increases by one level (below lv.30)]
[Choose Reward 2: Clues to Obtainable Pokémon]
[Choose reward three: Move - Threading (can be learned by Pokémon)]
[Choice Reward Four: Keep the [Peach Blossoms] talent until the next round of simulation]
Sure enough, there are rewards.
Kashiwagi tried it and found that he could choose two.
Picking two out of four is pretty good.
It's just that if you don't choose, you can't open it a second time, and he doesn't know whether choosing rewards one and three can stay.
Try it.
Gotta give it a try.
Kashiwagi lit up options two and three without looking at the fourth one.
Fortunately, the bonus moves can be retained.
The number of times in the simulator can also be saved, and the countdown is always going on, and there is no way to stop counting just because there is one time left.
Kashiwagi thought that rewards for leveling up might also be accumulated.
But at this time, he focused more on the clues——
[Please carry an iron ingot of no less than 1kg with you]
What kind of clue is this? It's just a hint at most.
Kashiwagi glanced at the time and the sky outside the window. Huangtie Town had already sunk into night, but the sounds from the mines and smelters continued.
Still early.
He washed his face and went out to find a way to get the iron ingots.
Wait until the iron ingots are obtained before starting the second simulation.
