(Some content was modified in the previous chapter, changing the green caterpillar indoors to outdoors.)
Carter's eyes were attracted by Gu Lerton.
Naoki turned around and noticed his appearance. Looking around, he saw Gu Ledun yawning and looking lazy.
"Are you traveling outside now?" Naoki asked.
Judging from the way this kid is dressed, he looks very much like the traveling trainers he has seen in anime.
Carter nodded: "Well, by the way, what should I call you?"
The courses at Orange Academy adopt a free uniform.
They do not force students to go to the classroom every day. Rather than attending classes, the school encourages students to go out and explore various places in Padia, or challenge gyms and collect badges.
Naoki understood clearly and didn't ask any more questions, "Just call me Naoki. I just took over this abandoned ranch not long ago."
"Okay, Mr. Naoki, excuse me!" Carter noticed that there was only one bed in the room, so he took out the sleeping bag he carried with him from his backpack and spread it on the ground.
His eyes glanced at Gullton from time to time, and finally he couldn't help but asked: "That Pokémon is it?"
The name of Guluton was given by Dr. Olin who discovered it. At this time, Guluton's name should not have spread to the extent that it is widely known.
Thinking of this, Naoki pretended not to know Gulton's name, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just met it not long ago, and it seems that its information is not included in the Pokédex yet."
Hearing this, Carter looked very excited: "That's the Pokémon that hasn't been discovered yet! Mr. Naoki, have you tamed it?"
"Conquer?" Naoki looked at Gulton and said, "Is that so?"
"Wow!" Carter's eyes showed an envious look: "Mr. Naoki, you must be a very powerful trainer, right?"
Naoki: "...No, I'm just a rancher."
However, Carter looked unconvinced.
The aura of that Pokémon is very powerful. If you are not a very powerful trainer, how can you conquer it?
As we all know, if you want to conquer a Pokémon, you need to defeat it head-on and prove your strength to it.
Only in this way will the Pokémon be recognized and willing to be included in the Poke Ball.
Naoki: "..."
He didn't know what to say. He looked up at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he chose to go to bed to rest.
Carter experienced a windy and rainy day outside and was exhausted physically and mentally, so he got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep quickly.
After a speechless night, Carter woke up early the next morning.
After a good night's sleep, he felt refreshed all over his body.
I looked up at the bed and saw that Mr. Naoki hadn't woken up yet.
Carter gently got up, took the messenger bird's elf ball and went outside.
Standing under the eaves, the pasture that was shrouded in darkness last night and could not be seen clearly finally appeared before his eyes.
Neat ridges, soft brown soil, and signs stuck in front of the land.
The distance was a bit far and Carter couldn't see clearly, so he deliberately walked to the front of the farmland area.
Now he finally saw clearly the patterns and words engraved on the signs.
"Turnip, potato..." Carter read them out, and then thought to himself: "Mr. Naoki is a very careful person!"
It can be seen that this abandoned pasture has been taken care of in an orderly manner by him.
Everyone is working hard.
Thinking of this, Carter picked up the elf ball: "Messenger bird, we can't be lazy!"
With a flash of white light, the messenger bird appeared in mid-air.
"Before you have breakfast, let's take a good exercise!" Carter said with fighting spirit.
This is the way he has been specially training the messenger bird. After getting up every morning, he and the messenger bird will run several laps on the school playground before going to have breakfast.
"Bibi!"
The messenger bird responded, immediately flapped its wings, and began exercising around the pasture with its trainer.
After running a few laps, one person and one bird stopped. They stood under a tree on the edge of the pasture and rested for a few minutes. Carter said again:
"Then, let's practice the moves you mastered again! Have you mastered the Frozen Wind move you learned last time?"
"Bibi!"
The messenger bird nodded its head.
At this moment, Carter suddenly noticed a wild green caterpillar on the branch above his head.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he directed the messenger bird and said: "Messenger bird, come and compete with this green caterpillar!"
"Bibi!"
Hearing the sound below, the green caterpillar on the tree crown looked down calmly.
Want to fight it?
The green caterpillar looked at the messenger bird without fear.
Seeing that the green caterpillar was also ready to fight, Carter began to order: "Messenger bird, use the freezing wind!"
"Bibi!"
After the command was given, the ice energy on the messenger bird quickly condensed. It flapped its wings, and a stream of frozen cold air automatically condensed and formed, sweeping towards the green caterpillars on the branches.
"Although the ice attribute cannot restrain the green caterpillar, the messenger bird has worked hard for so long. The power of the freezing wind must have been greatly improved compared to before. There must be no problem in defeating a green caterpillar."
As we all know, Pokémon like green caterpillars are notoriously weak. When facing other Pokémon, they have almost no ability to resist other than spitting out fragile silk threads.
Looking at the freezing wind sweeping out, Carter couldn't help but think to himself.
However, the next second, the green caterpillar made an unexpected move.
I saw it calmly looking at the frozen wind, and then quickly spit out worm threads from its mouth to block it in front of it.
The amount of worm threads was astonishing, and in just a few breaths, an insect net without gaps was formed.
The freezing wind hit the insect net, and although the insect net was frozen into ice cubes, the umbrella-like ice cubes just protected the green caterpillars behind them.
"What?"
Carter was slightly startled.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
While he was stunned, the insect net that was frozen into ice fell to the ground, and then, a large net flashing with yellow electricity shot out from behind.
Before the messenger bird had time to react, its body was hit by the electric grid.
Wisps of electricity spread, and the messenger bird let out a cry of pain, then rolled its eyes and lost its ability to fight.
Seeing this scene, Carter froze in place, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
If he read it correctly, the move used by the green caterpillar just now was an electric grid?
But how is that possible?!
Is this still the green caterpillar he knows?
At this time, a burst of footsteps came from behind.
Carter turned around and saw Naoki walking towards this side.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the wild green caterpillar on the tree jump down and go to Naoki's side.
Carter's eyes widened, and he changed his words midway: "Mr. Naoki...is this green caterpillar your Pokémon?"
"Yeah." Naoki nodded. He looked at the unconscious messenger bird, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you just fight it?"
Judging from the appearance of the messenger bird, it must have been defeated by the green caterpillar with an electric grid.
The electrical attribute doubles the flying attribute, coupled with the unexpected attack of the green caterpillar, it is not surprising that it can defeat the messenger bird.
Hearing this, the young man from the city immediately blushed and apologized quickly: "I'm very sorry! I thought it was a wild Pokémon!"
"..." Naoki was about to speak when suddenly, a rich milky white light burst out from the green caterpillar next to him.
In the light, the body of the green caterpillar changes rapidly.
The originally soft body became as hard as iron, and the compound feet under the body disappeared and became smooth. The body took on a crescent shape, with a green protrusion on the back, and the black eyes were half open and half closed.
When the white light dissipated, the original green caterpillar disappeared and was replaced by a brand new armored pupa.
Looking at this scene, Carter opened his mouth, a little surprised: "Jin, evolved!"
A smile appeared on Naoki's face: "I should thank you for helping the green caterpillar complete its evolution."
"No, this is not my fault!" Carter was a little embarrassed.
Naoki smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up the armored pupa and walked towards the wooden house: "Let's go back first! Your messenger bird seems to need treatment."
Carter followed.
Naoki looked down at the green caterpillar and said to it: "Congratulations, you have successfully evolved."
The armored chrysalis cannot speak or move, it can only harden.
Under normal circumstances, before evolving, green caterpillars in the wild will find a safe place, spin out silkworm threads and hang themselves on a tree, and then they will start to evolve.
Therefore, when the green caterpillar felt that it was about to evolve, it immediately ran to Naoki.
The green caterpillar has great trust in Naoki. It believes that the other party will take it to a safe place.
Sure enough, just as it expected, Naoki brought it back to the cabin.
Considering the environment that the green caterpillar likes, before placing it, Naoki asked: "Do you want to stay outside or in the room? If you want to stay outside, just blink your eyes."
The armored chrysalis blinked.
Naoki nodded: "Okay, then I will make a box for you out of wooden boards later."
The armored pupa couldn't move and could only look over with grateful eyes.
Zhi Shu temporarily placed the green caterpillar on a blanket, then turned around to check on Carter's messenger bird.
The messenger bird has passed out, and its body is twitching slightly, as if it is affected by electrical energy.
"Just mix the cherry fruits and orange fruits together and feed it to it." As he said that, Zhishu stood up, found two kinds of fruits from the fruit basket, mixed them together and fed them to the messenger bird. Soon, the messenger bird opened its eyes in a daze and recovered.
Seeing this scene, Carter breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought of the green caterpillar's performance just now, and asked with a shocked look: "Mr. Naoki, how did you do that?"
Naoki was slightly startled: "What?"
Carter: "How did you train the green caterpillar to that point?"
A green caterpillar with an insect attribute can actually defeat a flying messenger bird with one move.
What's even more unbelievable is that the green caterpillar can actually use the ultimate trick of "power grid".
It is impossible for the green caterpillar to learn this move on its own, unless someone has specially trained it.
But this is also extremely difficult, and it is impossible for novice trainers to do this.
Not to mention that the green caterpillar has no electrical energy in its body. If you want to teach it the power grid, the trainer must use some secret technique.
Even a king-level trainer may not be able to succeed!
Conquered the mysterious, unknown and powerful Pokémon, and taught a weak green caterpillar how to use the power grid...
Mr. Naoki is probably a very powerful trainer!
Carter looked over excitedly.
Naoki: "..."
An awkward yet polite smile appeared on his face: "That's all the Green Caterpillar's own efforts. It is a very special Pokémon."
This is not wrong. Apart from feeding the green caterpillar a few times, Naoki never provided any help to the green caterpillar, relying entirely on its own efforts.
If you want to become a powerful Pokémon, hard work and luck are indispensable.
However, Carter had an expression that said I understand.
After all, this is a secret skill that only Mr. Naoki has mastered.
Naoki didn't know what the boy in front of him was thinking, but judging from his expression and eyes, he always felt that he was thinking of something weird.
He didn't want to continue on this topic, so he got up and went to prepare breakfast.
Today's breakfast Naoki still did not choose to cook it himself, but was lazy and made a simple sandwich using smoked sausage and tomatoes purchased from the Zhiqin market.
Despite this, Guluton and Motorized Lizard were still very happy eating.
Carter and Messenger Bird also looked grateful.
After breakfast, Carter was ready to leave the ranch, go to the nearest town for supplies, and then start returning to Orange Academy.
He stood at the exit of the ranch with the messenger bird and waved goodbye to Naoki: "Goodbye, Mr. Naoki! Thank you very much for taking in! I will remember you forever! When I have time, I will bring the messenger bird to visit you.
!"
Naoki nodded slightly: "Go!"
Carter waved his hand vigorously, then turned around and ran towards the direction of Zhiqin Town.
Naoki stood there and looked at his back, suddenly feeling a bit like the supporting characters Xiaozhi met in the anime.
Occasionally, he helped passing trainers and chatted with them about travel and Pokémon. After a brief encounter, they parted ways and continued their journeys in life.
Thinking of this, Naoki shook his head and smiled to himself.
It wasn't until Carter could no longer be seen that he turned around and went to the utility room and started making a nest for the armored pupae.
He used a saw to cut the wood into the shape of a plank, then took out a few nails and nailed the planks into an open wooden box.
Returning to the wooden house in front, Zhishu covered it with fresh leaves, placed two tree fruits, and put the armored pupae inside. Finally, he strung the wooden box with ropes and hung it under the eaves where the rain could not reach it. The open wooden box allows the armored pupa to see the outside scene and also facilitates air circulation.
After evolving from a green caterpillar to an armored pupa, the armored pupa no longer needs to fight to grow.
The entire armored pupa stage is a stage for it to prepare for evolution. The hard pupa shell protects the armored pupa's body inside, and the internal body grows by constantly renewing cells.
When the growth reaches a certain level, the armored pupa will break out of the shell, transform into a cocoon, and evolve into the final form of the Bada butterfly.
Naoki is looking forward to that day.
For Pokémon like Badass, thanks to the influence of Xiaozhi’s Badass, he also has some childhood filters in his heart.
"Grow up quickly!"
Naoki reached out and touched the shell of the armored chrysalis.
As if feeling the expectation in his heart, the armored chrysalis hardened, and a layer of crystal green light appeared on its body in response to Naoki's words.
