Elf: I am really a civilian trainer

What it wants to do...what does it want to do?

The Caterpillar stretched out its forelimbs and pressed down the Poké Ball not far away, then assumed a struggling posture.

"Fizz!"

What it wants to do, naturally, is to have its own Poké Ball and become stronger.

Looking at the green caterpillar's answer, Mark smiled and said, "Have you noticed that you are not as panicked as you were just now."

The Caterpillar was stunned for a moment, then looked its body up and down. It seemed that it was just as Mark said, and it was not as panicked as it was at the beginning.

Mark continued, "It turns out that the power of the characteristic [Escape] cannot influence your will too much. So let me ask you again, do we really have to fear the danger that has appeared in the Caterpillar Territory?"

"Hiss."

The green caterpillar shook his head.

Although it had a feeling that it might be dangerous near the Caterpillar's territory, after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly realized that the danger was not particularly dangerous.

Besides that, it cares.

Did something happen in the Caterpillar territory?

"Hiss?"

The caterpillar suddenly felt a little worried. It came to Mark and tugged at his clothes with its forelimbs to ask him questions.

Mark said: "Something must have happened. I guess there may be some changes in the habitat of the Arbok snake.

According to the information provided by the Caterpillar leader, the Caterpillar territory and the Arbok habitat did not border each other before, and there was a piece of Nidoking's territory in the middle, but that Nidoking was caught in the Caterpillar leader's trap and ran away, resulting in the loss of the buffer between the Caterpillar territory and the Arbok habitat.

Of course, things are definitely not as simple as this. After all, if it is normal, there will be no Arbok snakes around Qingxi Village, and even if they occasionally appear, there will not be so many. "

The Caterpillar showed a look of reminiscence.

Although it has encountered several Arbok snakes and fought with them these days, it does not have a very deep impression.

Although this ferocious purple snake elf also preys on caterpillars, in terms of the degree of threat it poses, it is actually far less threatening than the bird elves.

Mark sighed and said, "I was thinking of promising Uncle Qian that I would go with you to the tomato garden in the south of the village to drive away the Arbok snake, and by the way, see if there is anything I can help with in the tomato garden.

After all, I am a small town test-taker, so I know a few things.

Because of the appearance of elves, the technology tree of this world has become slightly crooked.

From what I understand, there are some Grass Pokémons and Stinkbugs in the village's tomato garden, and the tomato harvest depends largely on the help of these Grass-type Pokémons.

Although according to Uncle San, the villagers know about fertilizing and watering tomatoes, they don't seem to know about film breeding and methods of removing branches and leaving stems to increase yields.

Forget it, let’s go next time. We are now setting off to return to the Caterpillar’s ​​territory.”

"Fizz!"

The caterpillar nodded in agreement.

Mark nodded slightly and planned to wake up Uncle Qian to tell him.

But after listening to the snoring coming from next door, Mark gave up.

Uncle Qian is old and has been busy all night, so it would be better to let him sleep a little longer.

After leaving a note to apologize and simply preparing some equipment, Mark and the Caterpillar set out on the journey back to the Caterpillar territory.

The return trip was just as Mark had guessed, and indeed, things were very unusual.

A few hours ago, when he was returning to Qingxi Village with more than a hundred caterpillars, he encountered some Arbok snakes, about one every ten minutes.

This time when he returned to the Caterpillar's territory, he would encounter an Arbok almost every two to three minutes between him and the Caterpillar.

Some of these Arbor snakes looked normal, while others were obviously flustered.

Mark and Caterpillar caught two frightened Arbok snakes, tied them up tightly with silk thread, and tried to find out what happened.

It turned out to be useless.

Faced with Mark and Caterpillar's questions, Arbok refused to cooperate.

Although Arbok is much smarter than ordinary caterpillars and has the conditions for communication, it is a ferocious and brutal elf at heart and is difficult to communicate with.

In addition, there are also inquiries about the relationship with the green caterpillar.

It’s not that Caterpillar is not strong enough, but there is a restraint relationship between Poison-type Pokémon and Bug-type Pokémon. Poison-type Pokémon have an innate resistance to Bug-type moves, so when facing Bug-type Pokémon, Arbok has a natural psychological advantage.

Of course, if Arbok was interrogated for a few hours, he would be able to get some information out of him, but Mark obviously didn't have the time.

There was no time to waste on interrogating Arbok, as he and Caterpillar returned to their territory.

After releasing the two Arbok snakes, Mark and Caterpillar further increased their speed.

As we continued to move forward, the sky became completely bright.

Along the way, more and more Arbok snakes appeared, and then a few kilometers away from the Caterpillar territory, Mark encountered a small group of hundreds of Caterpillars fleeing in panic.

In the lead is a chief guard.

The caterpillars in the caterpillar territory like to find their leader's guards to gather together, whether in battle or when in danger.

These hundreds of green caterpillars followed the leader's guards and fled here in panic.

As if they had discovered Mark's green caterpillars, the leader's guards suddenly changed their momentum and were about to lead the swarm of insects to fight Mark's green caterpillars.

Obviously, the battles these days have caused inertia among the leader's guards.

However, after the Caterpillar subdued the leader's guard, the leader's guard quickly calmed down.

Well, the chief guard was not only used to fighting, but also used to the feeling of being defeated. He stayed there and looked at Mark, waiting for Mark to teach him the [Impact Training Method].

It can be seen that the leader's guards are not very intelligent.

So after some questioning, Mark and Caterpillar got very limited clues from the leader's guards' stumbling words.

Probably, a lot of Arbok snakes attacked like crazy, and the chief guard started to flee in panic, and then the chief guard encountered him...

Chapter 45: Arbok Leader

Mark and the Caterpillar didn't delay too long and continued to accelerate towards the Caterpillar's territory.

Along the way, Mark saw more Arbok snakes.

Unlike the Arbok snakes encountered before on the journey, some of these Arbok snakes were very aggressive, and there were even scenes where Arbok snakes fought and killed each other.

Occasionally, some green caterpillars will flee in panic in the grass and bushes, and you can also see some scattered caterpillar corpses.

Not only the Caterpillars, but also some Rattatas living in harmony with the Caterpillars in their territory. These Rattatas are also constantly fleeing outwards and are becoming more panicked.

Just like Caterpillar is naturally afraid of Pidgeot and Spearow, Rattata, as a mouse Pokémon, is also naturally afraid of Arbok, especially a large group of them.

A few spying sparrows circled in the sky, chirping from time to time, as if watching the fun, and then flew towards the north.

Mark frowned and pondered, wondering why these Spearows were flying north.

"What did these Spearows say?"

Mark asked the Caterpillar, the elves have a unique communication system that can communicate across species, so the Caterpillar can understand the meaning of the Seraph's call in the sky.

The Caterpillar did not answer immediately. Instead, its body trembled slightly as if it sensed something.

"The [Escape] trait is working again?"

Mark frowned slightly, and saw that the Caterpillar had recovered, and looked in the direction where the Spearows flew away.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

"You mean, there's a fight going on there, and it could be dangerous?"

"Hiss."

The caterpillar nodded continuously. Mark looked to the north and then to the west.

The west is the location of the Caterpillar's territory, and the habitat of the Arbok is even further west of the Caterpillar's territory.

"Let's go to the Caterpillar's territory first and see what the situation is there."

The man and the insect accelerated further.

The closer to the Caterpillar's territory, the more Arbok snakes there are, and the more aggressive they become.

In addition, Mark and the Caterpillar saw more Caterpillar corpses.

Unlike normal food chain predation, the corpses of these caterpillars were exposed in the wilderness and no one cared about them. Mark also saw some arboreal snakes gnawing on the roots of some trees, while spitting out some lavender liquid with a pungent smell.

It looks like they are marking their territory.

Mark took a deep breath and led the Caterpillar forward.

Finally, Mark and the Caterpillar arrived at the Caterpillar's territory, the sweet and spicy fruit tree that the Caterpillar had always been thinking about, and the green stone that was full of memories for the Caterpillar.

The surroundings were in a mess, with many dead caterpillars scattered around. A strong, pungent poisonous smell was overwhelming. Some aggressive Arbok snakes were wandering around, and when they saw Mark and the caterpillars, they immediately let out low roars.

【Impact (Seven-stage combo)】!

【Impact (instant strike)】!

【Impact (Charge a powerful attack)】!

The Caterpillars quickly cleared the field. Although these Arbok snakes looked aggressive, their strength was not much stronger than ordinary Caterpillars. The strength of one Arbok snake was roughly equal to that of three Caterpillars.

Without holding back like he did to his own kind, more than twenty nearby Arbok snakes lost consciousness one after another. Two of them were in danger of death because they struck too hard, but the Caterpillar didn't think about that.

During the years of living in the forest with Mark, the Caterpillar had seen the death of its own kind. It had even seen four dead bodies of its own kind at the same time.

But it was the first time that it saw more than a hundred corpses of its own species at the same time.

The Caterpillar looked at the corpses of its own kind in a daze, unable to describe its inner feelings for a moment. In short, it felt very uncomfortable.

"Ss ...

After watching the corpses of its fellow caterpillars for a while, the Caterpillar questioned Mark, asking why so many Caterpillars died.

Mark frowned and said, "It looks like a dispute over territory. But from what I know, the Arbok snakes in Qingxi Forest don't have the concept of territory. Similar to the bird elves Bobo, the Arbok snakes only have habitats in the swamps in the west. The environment there is most suitable for the survival of the Arbok snakes, so most of the Arbok snakes are concentrated there. For a dispute over territory to occur, unless..."

Mark stopped, he had realized the reason for this situation.

Mark took a deep breath and continued, "The reason why these Arbok snakes have such changes is that a leader similar to the green caterpillar has appeared among them, leading the tribe to expand their territory.

There is also a reasonable explanation for the Arbok snakes we saw on the road, that is, group rejection.
