Pokémon: I am really a civilian trainer

Listening to the Caterpillar's question, Mark smiled with relief.

Although the Caterpillar often made him laugh and cry in some small things, but at the critical moment, the Caterpillar never let him down.

His strength has skyrocketed several times, and now he has become the [King of Caterpillars], and has obtained the extremely powerful move [Self-Regeneration], but these have not made the Caterpillar become arrogant or lose himself.

This is indeed the case, he still has a long way to go with the Caterpillar.

According to the information he had read in the Pokémon Encyclopedia, the powerful beasts in this world can really destroy the world. They are not as weak as in the Pokémon games or animations and comic specials. Not only will they be exploited by humans, some of them will even be captured.

The legendary beasts in this world are extremely powerful, far beyond what humans can contend with. It is said that only legendary trainers can barely fend off one or two.

In addition, the trainers and Pokémon in this world are also stronger than those in the normal Pokémon world.

In the world of Pokémon games and animations, many of the Pokémon used by gym leaders from all over the world are Pokémon that have not yet evolved to the ultimate stage.

In this world, even the gym members in a third-tier town use Pokémon in their final form.

Yes, the threshold to becoming a formal trainer in this world is very high. In addition to passing the written test, you also need to own a Pokémon that has reached the final evolution, and this Pokémon must also master many moves.

According to Uncle Aaron, the evolution of the Pokémons into their final form seems to have only just begun.

But every time he asked Uncle Aaron about what to do after the start, he would be vague and told him not to aim too high and just to train according to what was mentioned in the "Shia Kingdom Pokémon Encyclopedia". It would not be too late to consider it after he became a formal trainer.

In short, he and the Caterpillar were just getting started.

Without thinking too much, Mark patted the caterpillar's head gently and said, "Although we can't use the caterpillar swarm for actual combat training, there are more than just caterpillars in the Pokémon tribe of Qingxi Forest. We can use the giant bee swarm or the Spearow swarm for training next."

Following Mark's words, Caterpillar was fine when he heard about the Beedrill Swarm, but when he heard about the Swarm of Spearows, he obviously shrank his neck and his expression was evasive.

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

Mark asked, "Are you afraid of the Spearow?"

"Hiss."

The caterpillar nodded. It was indeed a little scared.

Mark smiled and said, "Although the Spearows are vindictive and dangerous to face when you don't have the strength, their overall strength is not as good as that of the Beedrill Swarm. They just have a stronger desire to attack. In addition, neither the Beedrill Swarm nor the Spearow Swarm has a leader. With your strength, it's better to train with the Spearow Swarm. You may have to use up some of your physical strength. You don't have to be so scared.

And now you also have [Self-Regeneration], so even if you get hurt, you can still recover by yourself."

"hiss?"

The caterpillar blinked.

Yes, it has the power to recover itself, so it shouldn't be so afraid of the Spearows. Even if it is injured, it can heal itself.

The Caterpillar showed a confident expression, but unfortunately it only lasted for a dozen seconds before it became nervous again.

It can be seen that the bird elves have a strong blood suppression on the caterpillars.

At this moment, the Caterpillar does not look like the one who charged alone in the battle with the leader Arbok. It is estimated that only by fighting with a group of Spearows and seeing the gap in strength between himself and those bird Pokémons can he gradually gain confidence.

Mark did not force the Caterpillar too much and opened the Spirit Master panel again.

He has basically completed the plan for the future, so the only thing left is to add some points.

During the battle with the group of Arbok snakes, both he and Caterpillar gained a lot. The experience bar that would have taken some time to reach full value directly exceeded 100%, and a new point was obtained.

Once you have points, you should use them immediately instead of keeping them in your hands.

It turned out that his decision to add points was correct.

If he didn't add points in time to improve his strength, but saved the points, then facing the expansion of the Arbok colony's territory today, he and the Caterpillar would be unable to do anything and could only act as a bystander.

He might not even be able to be a bystander, because without the increase in growth, he would never have any intersection with the swarm of green caterpillars, let alone train through them.

At this moment, he might only take the Caterpillar to practice [Impact] or [Silk Spinning] at targets near the village. He would miss out on abilities like [Caterpillar King], [Blessing of the Clear Creek Forest], and [Power of the Clear Creek] forever.

While thinking, Mark opened the panel of the Caterpillar further.

…

[Green Caterpillar]

[Five-dimensional potential:]

[Strength: F+ (+)] [Physique: F+ (+)] [Agility: E-] [Spirit: E+] [Sense: D]

[Features: Scale powder (+), escape (+)]

[Special abilities: Evolution (+), Telepathy (Mark), Caterpillar King, Blessing of the Clear Stream Forest]

[Skills: Impact (charged attack, instant attack, hard and soft penetrating attack, multi-stage combo) (+), silk spinning (+), insect bite (+), self-regeneration (clear stream forest)]

…

Among the several options for adding points, the five-dimensional potential is not considered for the time being. After all, its Caterpillar has just obtained the [King of Caterpillars], and the five-dimensional potential has just been increased by a small level.

Of course, as a bonus to his fifth-dimensional potential, he would have to test it sooner or later, but not now.

For the rest, he actually wanted to add some [Caterpillar King], [Blessing of Clear Creek Forest], [Self-Regeneration (Clear Creek Forest)], or his own [Power of Clear Creek].

But unfortunately, I can't add any more.

I don't know whether he doesn't have enough points or he doesn't meet the requirements.

In addition to these, what he wanted to add the most was naturally [Impact].

It can be said that returning to nature has become his obsession.

But after some consideration, Mark gave up.

Although he had learned some knowledge during this period and received the blessing of Qingxi Forest, which might give him a better understanding of nature, he knew that these alone were not enough for him to truly return to nature, and he would most likely fail after adding some points.

So after some consideration, Mark decided to add points to the Caterpillar's [Escape] characteristic.

There are probably three reasons.

One is that he has never added points to the Pokémon's characteristics, so he can test the specific effects of adding points.

The second is the practicality of the [Escape] trait. Unlike the useless trait in the Pokémon games, in the real world, this trait can be considered a perceptual ability. As long as it can be used reasonably, it will greatly improve combat.

The third is the cost-effectiveness of adding points to the [Escape] feature. After the Caterpillar awakens the [Escape] feature, the [Perception] potential is improved to a higher level. At this time, the Caterpillar's [Perception] potential has reached D. If you want to add points directly, you will need at least 2 to 3 points. If you can improve the [Perception] potential by adding points to the [Escape] feature, then it is undoubtedly equivalent to saving him several points.

Thinking of this, Mark stopped thinking.

He asked Butterfree to help guard the place, and then looked at the pile of food nearby, and told Caterpillar that he was going to add some.

As the Caterpillar nodded in agreement, Mark added points directly to the [Escape] feature.

Buzz——

The familiar buzzing sound appeared again...
