Pokémon: I am really a civilian trainer

Caterpillar's [Self-Regeneration] (Part 1)

Without thinking any further, Mark finally asked the question to the dancer himself: "Green Caterpillar, what dance are you doing?"

"hiss?"

The dancing green caterpillar stopped, with a confused expression on its face.

Did it dance?

Mark frowned and said, "You said you didn't dance, so what were you doing just now?"

The caterpillar tilted its head, looked at its body in confusion, and showed a look of realization.

The way it looked just now really looked like it was dancing.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss."

The Caterpillar quickly explained his actions.

Mark asked in confusion: "You mean, you heard a voice, and then you unconsciously danced following that voice. What was that voice like?"

"Ss ...

Didn't Mark hear it?

The caterpillar tilted his head to explain, and asked Mark to listen carefully. The sound was not small, and Mark could hear it.

Mark looked puzzled and looked at Butterfree next to him. The latter also shook his head, obviously not hearing the sound mentioned by Caterpillar.

In fact, it wasn't just Mark. All the Caterpillars present did not hear the sound that the Caterpillar described.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

The Caterpillar tried its best to describe it. It really heard a very, very beautiful melody. The sound made it dance unconsciously.

Mark looked around: "Could it be a prank by a ghost-type Pokémon?"

"hiss?"

The Caterpillar was stunned for a moment when he heard Mark's words, and then shook his head continuously.

This is definitely not a prank by a ghost-type Pokémon. Why can't its owner hear that sound?

That sound is really loud!

The caterpillar rubbed his head with his front legs and thought hard, and suddenly he thought of a solution.

"Ss ...

"You mean, use [Telepathy]?"

The caterpillar nodded continuously.

The next moment, their eyes met, and Mark and the Caterpillar entered a state of "telepathy".

The sound described by the Caterpillar also appeared in Mark's mind as he entered the state of "Telepathy".

The sound was ethereal and melodious, not only with a beautiful tune, but also with a certain strange rhythm. Mark felt as if he was in a hot spring composed of heaven and earth, with all the pores in his body opened.

Before he knew it, Mark was doing the same dance as the Caterpillar by the fire.

As their bodies danced, Mark and the Caterpillar's thoughts became increasingly calm and peaceful.

In a trance, Mark felt as if he had returned to the past of this body.

Back to the days when he wandered in the forest with the green caterpillar...

One morning, he stupidly found a bunch of bright red mushrooms in the forest. He ate them in big mouthfuls. The caterpillar seemed to persuade him not to eat them, but he didn't understand and ate them happily. Then he rolled on the ground holding his stomach, while the caterpillar looked worried beside him...

After a heavy rain, he and the green caterpillar were attacked by a toucan. The green caterpillar was caught by the toucan's claws and flew into the sky. He looked stupid but suddenly roared and grabbed the toucan's claws. After flying in the air for dozens of meters together, the toucan finally let the green caterpillar go. He also let go of the toucan's claws and fell on his back...

They didn't know how long it had passed before their thoughts returned from the past to the present, and then drifted away again.

They were clearly both in the same place, but it seemed as if they were entering a different perspective.

Mountains, forests, and a stream flowing from northwest to southeast...

Mark felt as if his thoughts were flowing along a clear stream in the forest, and then his consciousness seemed to turn into a breeze, constantly shuttling through the forest.

It seemed like just a few breaths, but also like a very long time had passed.

Mark and the Caterpillar stopped dancing.

The Caterpillar looked around in confusion, as if he had not figured out what was going on. Mark stretched out his hand, and a soft green fluorescence condensed in his palm.

"hiss?"

The caterpillar looked at Mark's palm in surprise, and suddenly realized something. Soon, the caterpillar's fluorescence appeared on its forehead.

However, unlike the fluorescence condensed in Mark's palm, the Caterpillar seemed unable to guide this fluorescence like him. In the blink of an eye, the fluorescence condensed on the Caterpillar's forehead disappeared and entered the Caterpillar's body.

After that, no matter how hard the Caterpillar tried, it could not condense the green fluorescence on the top of its head, and could only let the green fluorescence float on the surface of its body.

Looking at the Caterpillar trying hard to control it, Mark touched the Caterpillar's head and said, "It should be because of the difference in our genes, so the control of this power has different effects. There is no need to deliberately imitate me."

As Mark spoke, he tried to stimulate this green energy from the inside out to the surface of his body like a green caterpillar, and then stimulate it throughout his body. However, he was unable to do so. He could only pull this power together in his palm or a certain part of his body.

Without much thought, Mark opened the Spirit Master panel.

…

After fighting with the group of Arbok snakes, Mark had accumulated one point again without realizing it, and had many more options for adding points.

But these are not the main points.

The key point is that Mark has an additional spirit-controlling talent, [Power of Clear Creek]. In addition to the previous [Caterpillar King], the Caterpillar's special ability now has an additional [Blessing of Clear Creek Forest].

In addition, there is a new skill in Caterpillar's skill list: [Self-Regeneration (Clear Creek Forest)].

"[Clear Stream Power]? Is this the corresponding [Viridian Power] from the Pokémon comic special?"

"Can Caterpillars learn to [regenerate themselves]?"

Mark gently stroked his forehead. He had gained so much that it felt a little unreal.

You know, he didn't even check the [Caterpillar King] that the Caterpillar had obtained not long ago, but suddenly several new abilities popped up.

Taking a deep breath, Mark used his mind to touch the information on the Spirit Master's panel one by one.

…

[Power of Clear Stream]: Blessed by the Clear Stream Forest, possesses the power to heal oneself and the elves.

…

[Blessing of Qingxi Forest]: With the blessing of Qingxi Forest, the recovery speed of physical strength and energy is accelerated, the effect is enhanced in the forest environment, and the effect is greatly increased in Qingxi Forest.

…

[Self-Regeneration (Qingxi Forest)]: With the help of the power of the forest, the body's cells can quickly divide and regenerate, and the body's injuries can be healed. The healing effect is improved in the forest environment, and the healing effect is greatly increased in Qingxi Forest.

…

"Sure enough, it's similar to [Power of Evergreen], except it doesn't have the ability to read minds."

"As for the reason for acquiring this ability, if my guess is correct, it should be the action of reburying the elf's body in the forest. Since the caterpillar is already the [caterpillar king], it has enough influence, so it triggered the forest's response."

"The Caterpillar is the [King of Caterpillars] and is qualified to receive the blessing of the forest."

"I have been surviving in the wilderness since I was two or three years old. In some ways, I can actually be considered a 'child of the forest'. In addition, Caterpillar and I are a tacit partner, so I also received the gift of Qingxi Forest."

Taking a deep breath, Mark stopped thinking about it.

A green fluorescence condensed in his palm again, and then he aimed it at the broken wings of the Butterfly beside the fire...
