Chapter 7: Getting Lost and Leveling Up
Walking past the trees, around the clusters of bushes, the willows and the agumon weave through the sea of green.
Occasionally, you will encounter a few shivering green caterpillars gathered at your feet, or a wave of waves that are disturbed by their passing and hurry up.
The Agumon looked back and forth with great curiosity.
"Bobo, Bibi Bird, and Mukel hiding in the corner, these bird Pokémon are a little smaller than the Bhikshu Beast, but I don't know if they will suddenly become larger after they evolve."
Agumon followed beside him, muttering to himself.
It has never seen all the Pokémon in this world except for the unknown totem that it has just played, and it feels very unfamiliar with everything, but this has aroused its interest, and it has always been looking and asking from the beginning to the present.
This studious attitude once made Aoyagi feel that the one in front of him was not actually a serious Agumon, but Dr. Agumon who accidentally lost his doctor's hat and doctor's stick.
But...... If it were Dr. Agumon, they wouldn't have gotten lost.
Yes, Aoyagi and Agumon are lost.
Because he had to get out of the confines of the ruins and go to the town closest to the ruins, Random Town, Aoyagi left the familiar area for the first time after crossing and began to trek long distances.
Coupled with the fact that there was no compass, map or anything like that, I got lost in the complex forest after only half a day's walk.
"Even a Pokémon Illustrated Book won't come to this point."
Aoyagi sighed helplessly, and looked up at the top of his head, where the sun couldn't shine in.
Because the trees are so tall and the foliage is so luxuriant, there is no sunlight in the whole forest, except for the occasional wisp.
Fortunately, after maintaining this pace for some time, I finally found a dense clearing where the foliage was a little sparse and the sunlight could shine in.
Until now, there is only one way to use the soil.
Picking up a long, slender and straight dead branch from the ground, Aoyagi walked to the area that looked very empty, and slowly crouched down.
Stick a dead branch in the middle where the sun can shine, put a stone on the tip of the shadow, and then sit on the ground and wait.
On the other side, the Agumon who had finished collecting the wind leaned over, looked at the dead branches on the ground, and then at the green willow, and wondered, "What is this doing?" ”
"Discern the direction."
"Is that all it takes?"
"It takes more than ten minutes, wait for the shadow to move a certain distance, then put a stone on the tip of the moving shadow, and finally connect the middle of the stone, you can determine the general direction, and then you can return to the correct direction according to the direction."
“……”
After listening to Aoyagi's words, the Agumon scratched his head in embarrassment.
Sure enough, I didn't understand the principle at all after asking, so I had to sit next to me and wait.
Looking at the slightly embarrassed expression of the Agumon, Aoyagi chuckled.
As it stands, it's hard to understand a little longer, and it doesn't seem like Dr. Agumon who has lost his doctor's suit.
"That's right, Agumon."
Aoyagi suddenly thought of something and asked, "After coming out of the ruins, do you have any feeling that your strength, speed, or the power of your moves have become stronger?" ”
Hearing this, the Agumon frowned and raised its two hands and waved them a few times in the air.
Sharp claws streaked through the air with a faint whistling sound.
Then, as if sensing something interesting, the Agumon swung its claws faster and faster, using sharp claws, and finally even stood up, ready to try the power of the "small flame".
Seeing this, Aoyagi hurriedly stopped.
Set fire to the mountain, and sit at the bottom of the prison.
It was a high-temperature flame, and if a fire was accidentally started, someone would take the initiative to help them get out of the forest, but it is estimated that they would not be stepping on a sewing machine for the rest of their lives.
"You don't have to test them one by one, I think you can probably feel it."
"Yes, it's really stronger, I feel like my whole body is full of strength, no wonder I'm not tired at all after walking so far."
Agumon said with some delight.
Receiving an affirmative reply, Aoyagi nodded silently and a smile appeared on his face.
The reason why he asked Agumon this question was because when he was on the road, he was using the function of the panel to detect Pokémon information as a radar, and his eyes accidentally fell on Agumon.
Lines of small blue letters belonging to the information of the Agumon suddenly appeared.

[Information summary] xxxxxxx
Agumon has been upgraded.
The level changed from 12 to 13.
Aoyagi guessed that the most important thing was that the Agumon fought against the group of unknown totems in the random ruins, and after defeating more than a dozen of them and their leaders, they gained enough experience and then ...... Upgraded.
This is good news.
Of course, in addition to the joy of the Agumon's strength, Aoyagi also has deeper considerations.
In the world of Digimon, the division of combat strength is more focused on attribute restraint and idealism, and the protagonist's battle is more inclined to use the form and number of the same level to meet the opponent, and if you can't beat it, you will be restrained by attributes.
Digimon that are not part of the protagonist group generally want to improve their combat power in the simplest way - after beating the opponent to a near-death state through battle, it will be converted into data and randomly absorbed.
In this way, through the accumulation of little by little, the total data from one to two is reached, and finally evolution is achieved.
Such a hierarchical concept and specific combat effectiveness are very vague, and it is impossible to quickly distinguish who has stronger combat effectiveness on paper and who has improved more through training and combat in the same state.
But in the world of Pokémon, there is a clear concept of hierarchy.
Whether it is the possibility of learning new moves at a certain level, or the ability to evolve after reaching a certain level, there is a very clear level of existence.
Agumon has now come to the Pokémon world and has changed from a Digimon to a Pokémon, and it stands to reason that its combat power will increase with the increase of the level.
Agumon had just proved that this was the case.
After all, Pokémon's near-death state does not turn into data, and Agumon can't absorb it at all.
If you can't improve your level and strength through training and fighting, wouldn't the Agumon be trapped in a growth stage form for the rest of your life?
"But ......"
Aoyagi then thought of another question.
Since the Agumon has fully conformed to the Pokémon setting, does its evolution only need to reach a certain level before it can evolve automatically?
Or do you need something like a divine plan, a badge, or something?
If you really have to, where can you find this digital world specialty?
Agumon has successfully transitioned into a Pokémon, but don't hold back on his side, he hasn't been able to transition into a "handsome guy who has been chosen".
Finally, Aoyagi set his eyes on the panel in front of him.
