Elf: I am really a civilian trainer

As Old Man Qian spoke, the Caterpillar looked excited at first, but soon realized something. There was some confusion in his eyes, and he looked at Mark for help.

Mark shook his head helplessly, rubbed the caterpillar's head and said, "Uncle San is just kidding you. How could I let you stay alone in the caterpillar breeding base?"

Hearing Mark's words, the Caterpillar breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, it almost thought that it was going to be separated from Mark.

Old Man Qian also touched the caterpillar's head, then turned to look at Mark: "Speaking of which, your caterpillar has grown in size again, is it because of eating those orange fruits?"

Mark did not hide it completely, and took out two pomelo fruits from his pocket and said: "In fact, it's not just orange fruits. My caterpillars also eat this kind of tree fruit."

Old Man Qian's face became serious and he asked, "Pomelo fruit?"

Mark nodded and said, "Well, I saw its introduction in the "Encyclopedia of Shia Kingdom Elves (IV)". It should be this kind of tree fruit. The pomelo tree I found still has some fruits. These two are for you. After all, you have been taking good care of me during this period of time."

Old Man Qian looked at Mark for a while with a complicated expression, "Give it to me? Do you know the value of this kind of fruit?"

Mark shook his head.

"Ten thousand." Seeing Mark's indifferent expression, Old Man Qian continued, "Ten thousand per fruit, and there is no market for it. Unlike the orange fruit, the artificial cultivation of the pomelo fruit in the Xia Kingdom has never been successful. In fact, ten thousand per fruit is only the official price. In some private transactions, the price of pomelo fruit is even higher. Are you sure you want to give me both of these fruits?"

"Ah."

Looking at Mark's unhesitating expression, Old Man Qian's expression showed a hint of relief, but also a hint of helplessness.

Old Man Qian finally shook his head and sighed, "Child, although you have become smart, you still lack experience in some areas. Remember, you must be on guard against others. If something similar happens in the future, don't tell anyone, not even me. By the way, you didn't tell anyone about the Wenyou fruit, did you?"

"No."

Old Man Qian nodded and said, "That's good. Keep the matter of the pomelo tree to yourself and don't tell anyone. The value of the pomelo tree is too great, and it is definitely not something a kid like you can afford. You must immediately dispose of the pomelo fruits you pick. If you see a stranger near the pomelo tree, be sure to hide and don't approach.

As for the two pomelo fruits, let me take care of them. They can almost replace a [Electric Grid] move learning device for your Caterpillar. Although the [Electric Grid] move can be learned after the Caterpillar evolves, it is still easier to learn during the Caterpillar period, and the effect is better. "

"Uncle San, actually..."

Old Man Qian waved his hand to interrupt Mark who was about to refuse, and then changed the subject: "It's not a good idea to leave these green caterpillars in the yard. The chrysanthemum seedlings I planted by the wall will be eaten away by them. Let's transport these green caterpillars to the breeding base at night..."

Chapter 43: The Legend of the Falling Mountain and the Second Nature of the Caterpillar

After a busy period of transferring the caterpillars to the caterpillar breeding base, it was almost dawn when Mark and Old Man Qian returned.

After instructing Mark to go to the tomato garden in the north of the village in the morning to help drive away the Arbok snakes and prevent them from running around, Old Man Qian went back to the house to sleep.

In the room, Mark and Caterpillar were sitting at the table.

Mark was looking at a huge map, while the Caterpillar stared at the Poké Ball on the table with his eyes wide open, fiddling with it with his limbs from time to time. Next to the Poké Ball was a stack of coins, a total of four thousand five hundred yuan.

Yes, Caterpillar has obtained a brand new Poké Ball from Old Man Qian, and no longer needs to go to the Pokémon Supply Store in Sanshan Town to buy one.

As for the 4,500 dollars, it was the remaining reward after deducting the cost of the Poké Balls.

The only problem is that Caterpillar cannot enter the Poké Ball at this moment.

"Ss ...

Hearing the Caterpillar's question again, Mark shook his head slightly and said, "I told you, your Poké Ball is right here, it won't be lost, wait another two to three days."

The Caterpillar nodded slightly and continued to stare at the Poké Ball in a daze.

In fact, the reason why Caterpillar has to wait two to three days to enter the Poké Ball is mainly related to something called life magnetic field.

Specifically, as long as humans stay near a charged Poké Ball, the energy magnetic field inside the Poké Ball will be affected through the human body's life magnetic field.

Generally speaking, after two to three days, the energy magnetic field inside the Poké Ball will be assimilated by the human life magnetic field.

After successfully capturing a Pokémon with such a Poké Ball, the captured Pokémon will naturally become close to its owner, making it easier to interact with the owner and establish a bond.

This is why Poké Balls are so expensive in this world and the cost of recharging them is not low.

It looks simple to operate, just press a button to throw the Pokémon, but in fact the Poké Ball is a high-tech item.

Well, it’s not quite appropriate to describe it as a high-tech item. It might be more appropriate to describe it as an alchemical item from the magical world.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, 5000 yuan is not expensive for such items. For example, in the Pokémon game, they are 100 yuan each, and in the animation, it is outrageous to buy a bunch of them with coins from a piggy bank.

Without too much thought, Mark continued to look at the Maple Leaf Mountain Map given to him by Uncle Qian, while occasionally checking the information in the Elf Atlas.

It has been a while since he awakened his time-travel memory. Although he has gained some understanding of the Shia Kingdom through several textbooks, this understanding is very one-sided.

At this time, as he looked at the map and consulted the information in the elf atlas, Mark had a more comprehensive understanding of the world he lived in.

The map of Maple Ridge on the table occupies the western and northern parts of the Fallen Leaf Province of the Kingdom of Shia.

The entire mountain range is made up of dozens of peaks. In autumn, you can see large tracts of red maple forests, which is why it is named Maple Leaf Mountain.

Qingxi Forest is a forest located in the northern part of Maple Mountain, covering an area of ​​about one-tenth of the total area of ​​Maple Mountain.

To the north of Qingxi Forest is a chaotic area where disasters frequently occur. According to the markings on the map, further north of the chaotic area is a desert called No Return.

On the south side of Qingxi Forest is the last peak in the northern part of Maple Mountain Range, Tianzhui Mountain.

Qingxi Village, where Mark lives, is a small village sandwiched between Qingxi Forest and Tianzhui Mountain.

Across the Tianzhui Mountain, there is a small town sandwiched between the three big mountains of Taro Mountain, Hongtu Mountain and that is the Sanshan Town that Old Man Qian often mentioned.

It is worth mentioning that by looking up the information about Tianzhui Mountain, Mark discovered a very ancient elf legend.

The so-called Falling Mountain does not mean that the mountain is very high, but that a meteor once fell on this mountain.

The thousand-year-old wishing star - Jirachi.

It is said that every thousand years Jirachi will wake up for a few days, fulfill the wishes of some innocent children, and then fall into sleep again.

According to legend, the wishing star Jirachi first appeared ten thousand years ago. At that time, Jirachi was not in Tianzhui Mountain, but somewhere else.

Until seven thousand years ago, an unprecedented wave of chaotic elves broke out in the Qingxi Forest. The nearby humans were in danger. At this critical moment, a girl made a wish to the sky, and then a meteor fell.

Jirachi fulfilled the girl's wish, ended the chaotic elf tide in the north, and helped the girl establish a kingdom called Hope.

In fact, King Arthur, who founded the Kingdom of Shia 150 years ago, called himself a descendant of the Kingdom of Hope.

However, the time is too long. During the seven thousand years, this land has undergone many dynasty changes. Mark feels that the so-called descendants of the Kingdom of Hope are likely to have been fabricated by King Arthur.

In short, according to the information searched in the Pokémon Encyclopedia, Jirachi has been sleeping in Tianzhui Mountain for seven thousand years.

Although many people have explored Tianzhui Mountain over the past thousands of years, no one has ever actually found Jirachi. However, there have been several reports of Jirachi sightings in other parts of the world over the past thousands of years.

Without thinking too much about the thousand-year-old wishing star, Mark focused his attention on the Qingxi Forest near Qingxi Village.

On this map, there are many markings of elves' habitats.

Referring to the markings on the map, Mark quickly found the location of the swarm of green caterpillars where he had been exercising these days.

There is no swarm of green caterpillars marked on the map, but there is a habitat of the Arbokrug marked near the swarm of green caterpillars.

After a quick glance at the elf habitats on the map, there were no special elves in the entire Qingxi Forest.

In addition to the known Beedrill swarms and Spearow swarms, there seems to be a huge cave some distance west of Arbok's habitat, inhabited by some Zubats, Geodudes, and Digletts. In addition, there are some Trumpet Buds in the lower reaches of the Qingxi River.

"According to the description of the Caterpillar leader, there should be a colony of Scythes in the Qingxi Forest. It seems that like the Caterpillars, the Scythes are also hidden. I just don't know how many such hidden colonies there are."

Mark pinched his chin lightly, and suddenly frowned.

“Speaking of which, we often encounter some Arbok snakes near the Caterpillars’ territory these days. According to the description of the Caterpillar leader, Arbok snakes have occasionally invaded in the past, but the frequency does not seem to be so high.

Today, while carrying more than a hundred green caterpillars back to the village, I also encountered a few Arbok snakes.

In addition, the village chief, Uncle Qian, also told me to go to the tomato garden after dawn to help drive away the Arbok snakes..."

As Mark spoke, he estimated the distance between the Arbok habitat and Qingxi Village on the map.

"Could it be that something happened in the habitat of the Arbok snake?"

Hearing Mark's puzzled voice, the Caterpillar, who was staring at the Poké Ball in a daze, turned around and tilted his head.

Then, the Caterpillar's body began to tremble continuously as if something had happened.

After a few breaths, the Caterpillar's body stopped shaking. As if it had discovered something, it looked nervously towards the northwest, which was the direction of the Caterpillar's territory.

"Ss ...

"You're telling me not to go to the Caterpillar territory, where I might be in danger?"

"Fizz!"

Mark pinched his chin lightly and opened the Caterpillar's Yuling panel.

……

【Green Caterpillar】

【Five-dimensional potential:】

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

[Features: Scale powder, (escape)]

[Special Ability: Evolution]

[Skills: Impact (charged attack, instant attack, hard and soft penetrating attack, multi-stage combo), silk spinning, insect bite]

……

At this time, the Caterpillar's panel was in a certain unstable state. The [Perception] in the five-dimensional potential kept jumping between E+ and D-. At the same time, a constantly flashing [Escape] characteristic appeared in the Caterpillar's characteristics column.

"No fully awakened second characteristic?"

Chapter 44: Changes in the Caterpillar Territory

It was obvious that something had happened in the Caterpillar territory.

As for the cause of the accident, it is very likely from the habitat of the Arbok snake.

While thinking, Mark gently stroked the green caterpillar's body.

Perhaps because it was unfamiliar with the power of its second characteristic [Escape], the Caterpillar looked very uneasy at this moment, and even forgot about the Poké Ball that it had just cared so much about.

However, as his palm touched it, the Caterpillar's condition quickly improved.

Mark nodded slightly when he saw this: “Your second characteristic [Escape] should have awakened as your body broke through the bottleneck, so it affected your emotions, making you feel panicked and want to hide.

However, don't let this power completely control your thoughts. You are different from ordinary stupid green caterpillars. You have a relatively complete self-awareness. You have your own understanding of yourself and the things around you, and you also know what you want to do. "

"hiss?"

The caterpillar tilted its head, lost in thought.
