Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 3 Basic Training

Then, Chiba Kaede cut the stinging worm meat into small pieces, skewered them with twigs, and roasted them over the fire. •°¤*(¯`★´¯)*¤° 69𝔰𝓗𝔲𝓧.¢𝐨ᗰ °¤*(¯´★`¯)*¤°•.

As the insect meat matured, drops of oil dripped onto the fire, making a sizzling sound.

Once the insect meat was almost cooked, Chiba Kaede picked up a skewer of insect meat and started eating it.

Although there were no seasonings, it was still quite delicious. The texture was somewhat like lobster meat from my past life, smooth and tender.

Now Chiba Kaede couldn't stop eating them, skewering one after another.

Seeing him eating so happily, the proud swallow on the tree was also very greedy. It flapped its wings and flew to Qianye Feng's arms, chirping.

By this time, Chiba Maple was already about 7-8% full. Seeing Aoguyan's appearance, he knew that it also wanted to try the taste of roasted stingrays, so he took another skewer from the fire and stuck it in front of Aoguyan.

"Here, have this skewer. But it's still hot from when you first picked it up, so eat it slowly!"

It's unclear whether the proud swallow understood, but it didn't stop and started pecking at the meat skewers.

You don't know until you try it, and once you taste it, you'll be amazed. Aoguyan had never known that stinging worms were so delicious. Already full, it started to eat even more.

Chiba Kaede watched as Aogu Yan's belly slowly grew bigger, and he was a little afraid that Aogu Yan might eat herself to death. Fortunately, after eating a few more skewers of grilled meat, Aogu Yan finally stopped, lying on her back on the ground with her belly bulging high, looking like she didn't want to move at all.

"You're such a glutton! You need to learn to control yourself from now on, okay!"

Seeing this, Chiba Kaede found it quite amusing and teased Aogu Yandao. ♖👤 ❻9𝔰нǗx.𝐂Ⓞм ♔😾

"Hiss, hiss!"

Faced with Chiba Kaede's teasing, Aogu Yan also cried out, as if she were trying to defend herself.

Unfortunately, Chiba Kaede couldn't understand what it was saying, so she could only shrug helplessly.

Now that both the human and the spirit have eaten their fill, Chiba Kaede has some time to assess the effects of her cheat ability.

When he focused his mind on his dantian, he discovered that the emerald green gas inside had returned to its original size, a discovery that delighted Chiba Kaede.

"It seems I have three treatment opportunities every day, which is fantastic."

Chiba Kaede's thoughts started to wander again, realizing that she could heal elves like Miss Joy, which was a huge advantage.

Other trainers, unless they specifically train a support Pokémon like Chansey to heal injured Pokémon, can only rush to the Pokémon Center to recover after their Pokémon is injured.

However, the healing at the Pokémon Center is not like in the game, where a Pokémon can be fully restored in a few seconds. Pokémon with serious injuries need a long period of rest.

But Chiba Kaede doesn't need to. He can train his Pokémon to the point of exhaustion. Once his Pokémon reaches its limit, a single healing spell can bring it back to full health. This way, his daily training volume can be three times that of others.

Furthermore, others dare not go too far when training Pokémon, for fear of leaving irreparable hidden injuries on the Pokémon.

"There's no use thinking about it all. What I need to do most right now is to train the Pride Swallow so that it can carry me through the forest and leave this wild land."

Chiba Kaede believed that with his assistance, Aogu Yan would be able to quickly become stronger, thus protecting him as he left this place, after which he could consider his future path.

Otherwise, being trapped here like a savage would put their life in constant danger. 🐙☢ ♣☢

There's also the issue of fresh water; he's already thirsty after eating barbecue.

"Proud Swallow, do you know where we can find some water to drink?"

By this time, Aogu Yan had recovered considerably from being overfed. After hearing Qianye Feng's words, she patted her chest and nodded.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go find some bottles on the beach, then you can take me there."

As long as there are humans living, there will be no shortage of garbage. Although the world of elves is vast and sparsely populated, the location where Chiba Maple is located is actually not far from human towns, so there will be no shortage of household waste.

After finding a few bottles that had been washed ashore by the waves, Chiba Kaede simply rinsed them with seawater.

"Let's go, proud swallow!"

After that, Chiba Kaede followed Aogu Yan into the forest, holding the stick in one hand and a plastic bottle tied together with a rope in the other, while occasionally observing the surrounding environment warily.

Although he had Swann by his side, he dared not be careless. If a spirit that directly attacked him appeared, Swann might not be able to save him immediately.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, with the most dangerous moment being when an Arbok snake darted out from the bushes where Chiba Kaede had walked.

Fortunately, the Arbok snake didn't seem to intend to attack him; otherwise, being bitten by an Arbok snake would have been very painful.

Although the Arbok is not venomous, the sight of its sharp fangs still sent chills down Chiba Kaede's spine.

Finally, led by Aogu Yan, Chiba Kaede arrived at a stream.

Although the journey was somewhat thrilling, the stream was actually less than a kilometer away from the beach as the crow flies.

Just walking this distance felt more tiring than running a five-kilometer race.

"Aoguyan, could you please keep watch around the area for me? Notify me immediately if anything happens!"

After receiving a response from the proud swallow, Chiba Kaede quickly filled a container with water. Most elves in the forest need to drink water, so the probability of encountering an elf by the stream is quite high.

Before long, Chiba Kaede had filled several bottles with water. At his age of 11, carrying this amount of water was still quite heavy, but there was nothing he could do. He could only walk a distance and rest for a while, and thus, he carried the water back to the beach, stopping and starting along the way.

However, the probability of him getting sick from drinking this raw water directly is still very high. Although he has healing skills, it's best not to waste it if possible.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede surveyed the beach again and finally found an iron container in a shallow sandy area. Although it was not very large, it was perfectly fine for boiling water.

Having temporarily solved the problem of food and drink, Chiba Kaede needed to consider how to get out of the forest.

He had already asked the proud swallow how it got out of the forest, but the proud swallow had lived in this area since birth and had never gone out.

"Proud Swallow, would you like to become my partner? I can help you become stronger!"

Chiba Kaede looked at Aogu Yan and said seriously.

"Hiss, hiss!"

After hearing Qianye Feng's words, Aogu Yan did not refuse and nodded to him.

Ever since it was rescued by Chiba Kaede, it has taken a liking to the human in front of it and wants to stay by his side. Moreover, yesterday's treatment left a deep impression on it.

It could sense that its strength had improved considerably after the treatment, so it wasn't surprised that Chiba Maple could help it become stronger.

"Alright, Aoguyan, now show us the skills you know!"

After receiving Aogu Yan's affirmative answer, Qianye Feng did not hesitate and wanted to learn more about Aogu Yan's situation.

After Aoguyan's demonstration, Chiba Kaede learned about all of Aoguyan's skills.

Peck, chirp, gather energy, flash of lightning

Chiba Kaede felt that the most skillful move used by the Swiftlet was its peck, probably because it was frequently used when catching stinging beetles.

Peck is a Flying-type move. When Tailwing uses it, its power is increased, and it is super effective against Grass, Bug, and Fighting-type Pokémon. Grass and Bug-type Pokémon are the most common in the forest.

According to Chiba Kaede's understanding, the Aoguyan is a fast, powerful, but fragile assassin-type spirit.

However, for such incredible creatures as Pokémon, nothing is impossible. In the anime, Ash's Taillow can withstand Pikachu's electric shocks multiple times. Compared to its kind, it has amazing tolerance for electric-type moves, and this is even more true after evolution.

Ash perfectly utilized this advantage, arranging for Swellow and Pikachu to work together to create the combined move "Thunder Armor".

Therefore, as long as it can withstand enough attacks of the elemental advantage, it can gradually develop resistance even to elemental attacks that are unfavorable to the Pride Swallow, thereby greatly enhancing its resistance.

However, the conditions are not available at the moment. The training plan that Chiba Kaede has devised for the Pride Swallow is to first carry out weighted flight, which can greatly strengthen the Pride Swallow's wings.

After some testing, Chiba Kaede chose a stone weighing about five kilograms, tied it with vines, and had the Proud Swallow use its claws to pick it up and fly.

At first, the proud swallow was not used to flying with a stone that was heavier than itself, and its flight was sometimes high and sometimes low. However, after a period of time, it was able to fly normally, but it took much more physical effort than usual to fly.
