Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 4 Skills Training

"Keep going, Aoguyan, you can do it! Don't give up so easily!"

This is now the fifth day of Aoguyan's weight training. In these five days, the weight she's been carrying has increased from five kilograms to twenty kilograms. 🐊👑 ❻➈𝕤卄υ乂.𝔠𝓞ⓜ ♣♡

Although the weight was still a bit of a strain for the Aoguyan, it was able to fly with the stone on its back, and it is believed that it will be able to adapt in a few more days.

These past few days of training have given Chiba a deeper impression of Pokémon. These creatures can indeed break their own limits. In addition, Taillow has amazing perseverance and an indomitable spirit, so it is not afraid of hardship or fatigue during training.

Thanks to Chiba Maple's healing abilities, Aoguyan really let loose, training itself until it was covered in wounds every time. This is why it was able to change its strength so much in just a few days.

Now, the Aoguyan needs to catch at least three stinging beetles a day to feed itself and Qianyefeng. Of course, Qianyefeng only needs half a stinging beetle's meat a day at most, and the rest naturally end up in the Aoguyan's stomach.

This is unavoidable; there are no other ways to replenish energy in this place, so the only option is to eat more meat to obtain the necessary energy.

Now, when Chiba Maple goes to the river to fetch water, she can feel the decrease in the number of stinging insects.

After all, elves are creatures that also seek advantage and avoid harm.

"Hiss, hiss!"

That's the sound of a proud swallow returning from hunting.

To Chiba Kaede's surprise, the food the Tallbird brought back this time wasn't a spiky beetle, but a Spearow. 🎁☟ 69s𝕙υ𝕏.Ⓒ๏𝐌 ♟😾

These sprites have a fiery temper and like to attack humans and their pet sprites; moreover, they live in flocks.

For most new trainers, Spearow is arguably one of the greatest dangers they face in the forest.

"Proud Swallow, what happened to your hunting of the Fierce Sparrow today? Are you alright?"

Chiba Kaede examined the proud swallow and found that apart from its feathers being a little disheveled, it was not injured.

He was getting a little tired of eating stingray meat after eating it for so long, so this was a good opportunity to change things up.

These past few days, not only has Aogu Yan been training, but he hasn't been idle either. He's also been doing some exercises, but he needs to leave the treatment opportunities to Aogu Yan, so he hasn't been exercising too much.

Chiba Kaede took the Fiery Sparrow to the seaside and processed it. Since it was a bird, he didn't discard its internal organs. Instead, he cleaned it and planned to stew it with the wild vegetables he had found to make soup.

Perhaps because they were tired of eating worm meat, he and Aoguyan both thought that the meat of the Fiery Sparrow was much tastier than that of the worm.

After lunch, the person and the elf rested for a while before starting their afternoon training.

"Proud Swallow, starting today, you will fly with weights in the mornings and practice your skills in the afternoons!"

Chiba Kaede felt that his physical fitness could no longer be improved quickly in a short period of time, so he shortened the training time.

I plan to use the afternoon for skills training, since the use of skills is the key factor in determining victory or defeat when facing an enemy.

"Hiss, hiss!"

The Proud Swallow now completely trusts Chiba Maple, given its tremendous improvement in strength over the past few days. The Fiery Sparrow it hunted today was one of the culprits that had previously left it severely injured and near death. ★😝 690x.ᶜｏᵐ 🍬🐙

Although it was attacked by three Fiery Sparrows and was seriously injured, its previous strength was at most enough to fight this Fiery Sparrow to a draw, with neither able to defeat the other.

Today, after encountering the Fierce Sparrow, it killed it in just a few moves.

This change is real.

"Proud Swallow, use Lightning Strike to traverse this forest, then approach your target and unleash a peck attack!"

The woodland near the beach can now be considered the territory of the Swellow. Apart from the insect-type spirits, all other spirits have been driven out, so safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Using the complex terrain of this jungle, Chiba Kaede created a simple training ground and then used a plastic bottle as a target for Aoguyan to attack.

At the beginning, when Aoguyan used Lightning Flash to fly quickly, it often lost control of its direction and crashed into trees. Because of its high speed, Aoguyan would get dizzy every time it crashed.

However, each time, Aoguyan would just shake its head and continue training until it could no longer fly, at which point Chiba Kaede would need to treat it.

While Aoguyan was practicing, Chiba Kaede also began her own training, running back and forth in the complex jungle environment to improve her physical agility in the jungle.

A true trainer isn't just someone who stands by and watches their Pokémon train. If you don't work hard to improve alongside your Pokémon, and your level can't keep up with its strength, your Pokémon will start disobeying you.

Just like Ash's Charizard in the anime, Charmander can follow Ash's commands well when it is a baby Charmander, but after evolving into Charmeleon and Charizard, it acts entirely according to its own will.

It wasn't until much later that Ash regained Charizard's approval through his own actions and was able to command Charizard in battle normally.

Pokémon also have their own thoughts. If their trainer cannot meet their requirements, why should they obey the trainer's commands?

Therefore, while training the Aoguyan, Chiba Kaede was also improving himself, not only in terms of physical training, but also in his understanding of the Aoguyan, his mastery of skills, and the combination of skills.

Only by having a sufficient understanding of Aoguyan can one issue accurate commands during subsequent battles, thereby helping Aoguyan defeat enemies more quickly and effectively.

Many new trainers, when they first receive their starter Pokémon, are not very familiar with its nature and abilities, which leads to them being unable to give the correct commands during battles, resulting in defeat.

If a Pokémon fails too many times, it will develop a distrust of its trainer and, during battles, will disobey the trainer's commands and act according to its own desires.

Fortunately, Tsundere improved its strength under Chiba Kaede's training, so even though its strength increased rapidly, it did not look down on its trainer.

This training lasted for a full two weeks. The two of them had a very fulfilling time, especially since Taillow's strength was increasing so rapidly that it couldn't stop.

"Aoguyan, the meat is ready, eat up!"

That morning, after having breakfast, Chiba Kaede and Aogu Yan decided to leave this place and head to a human town.

Through this period of training, the Aoguyan has grown significantly in size, from its original height of about 0.3m to 0.5m. This size is almost comparable to that of those underdeveloped King Swallows.

The modern Aoguyan swallow can now carry stones weighing approximately 25 kilograms while flying, and its flight speed is not slow.

In terms of skills, he focused on training the "Lightning Flash" and "Peck" combo of the "Proud Swallow".

The current Aoguyan can fly quickly even in dense forests using a lightning bolt, unlike when it was first being trained and would often crash into trees.

Moreover, the peck attack is greatly enhanced by the lightning-fast speed.

Now, when the Bone Swallow hunts the Stingtail, it basically only needs to use Quick Attack to get close and then use a Peck to kill it if the Stingtail doesn't react.

Counting the days, it has been more than 20 days since Chiba Kaede woke up, so he doesn't plan to continue living here any longer.

Humans are social animals. If it weren't for the companionship of Aoguyan, Chiba Kaede doesn't know if he could have survived so many days. Loneliness might have overwhelmed him!

In order to leave this remote place as soon as possible, Chiba Kaede made many preparations.

He instructed the proud swallow to hunt more prey each day, and then processed the food that came back multiple times into jerky, so that it could be preserved for a longer time, which he planned to take with him on the road.

Then, the task was to have the proud swallow find a way out. These days, the proud swallow often flew outwards, and after exploring in several different directions, it finally found a way to leave the forest.

After making these preparations, Chiba Kaede finally made up her mind and set off for the human town.

Although he didn't know what difficulties he would encounter on the way, he believed that with Aogu Yan's current strength, she would definitely be able to help him get out of there.

Not only did Aogu Yan trust him, but he also trusted Aogu Yan.
