Carter's gaze was drawn to the old Leyton.

Naoki looked back and noticed his appearance, and when he looked around, he saw Gu Leton yawning and looking lazy.

"Are you traveling outside now?" Naoki asked.

Looking at this kid's outfit, it's a lot like the trainers he saw traveling in anime.

Carter nodded, "Well, by the way, what should I call you?" ”

The curriculum at the Orange Academy is liberal and liberal.

Rather than forcing students to go to class every day, they encouraged them to go out and explore the various parts of Padia, or challenge the gym to collect badges.

Naoki knew in his heart, and didn't ask much, "Just call me Naoki, who just took over this abandoned ranch not long ago." ”

"Okay Mr. Naoki, excuse me!" Noticing that there was only one bed in the room, Carter took out the sleeping bag he had brought with him from his backpack and spread it on the floor.

His gaze glanced at Gu Leton from time to time, and finally he couldn't help but ask, "What is that Pokémon?" ”

Therefore, the name of Lerton was taken by Dr. Orin who discovered it, and at this time, the name of Lerton should not have spread to the extent that it was widely known.

Thinking of this, Naoki pretended not to know the name of the old Leton, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just met it not long ago, and it doesn't seem to have included its information on the Pokédex." ”

Hearing this, Carter was very excited: "That's the Pokémon that hasn't been discovered yet!" Mr. Naoki, have you taken it? ”

"Acceptance?" Naoki looked at Gu Letun and said, "Sort of, right?" ”

"Wow!" Carter's eyes showed a look of envy: "Mr. Naoki, then you must be a very powerful trainer, right?" ”

Naoki: "...... No, I'm just a rancher. ”

Carter, however, didn't have a very convinced expression.

That Pokémon's aura is very powerful, if it wasn't a very powerful trainer, how could it be subdued?

As we all know, if you want to take a Pokémon, you need to defeat it head-on and prove your strength to it.

In that case, you will get the approval of that Pokémon and be willing to be included in the Poké Ball.

Naoki: "......"

He didn't know what to say, so he looked up at the time and saw that it was not early, so he chose to go to bed.

Carter was physically and mentally exhausted after a day of wind and rain outside, so he honestly got into his sleeping bag and quickly fell asleep.

After a night of silence, Carter woke up early the next morning.

After a beautiful sleep, he felt refreshed all over his body.

Glancing up at the bed, Mr. Naoki hadn't woken up yet.

Carter got out of bed lightly, grabbed the messenger bird's Poké Ball, and went outside.

Standing under the eaves, the pasture that was shrouded in night last night and could not be seen clearly was finally presented in front of his eyes.

Neat ridges, soft brown soil, and signs in front of the land.

The distance was too far for Carter to see, so he deliberately walked to the front of the farmland area.

Now he could finally see the patterns and words engraved on the signs.

"Turnips, potatoes......" Carter read them aloud, and then thought to himself, "Mr. Naoki is a very attentive man!" ”

It can be seen that this deserted ranch is well maintained by him.

Everybody is working on it.

Thinking of this, Carter picked up the Poke Ball: "Messenger Bird, we can't be lazy either!" ”

With a flash of white light, the messenger bird appeared in mid-air.

"Before breakfast, get some exercise!" Carter said with a fighting spirit.

This is how he has always trained the messenger birds, and every morning after waking up, he will run a few laps around the school playground with the messenger birds before going to breakfast.

"Bibi!"

The messenger bird answered, flapped its wings, and exercised around the ranch with the trainer.

After a few laps, the man and the bird stopped, and they stood under a tree at the edge of the pasture and rested for a few minutes, and Carter added:

"Now, let's practice the moves you've mastered! Have you mastered the freezing wind that you comprehended last time? ”

"Bibi!"

The messenger bird nodded.

And just then, Carter suddenly noticed a wild green caterpillar on a branch overhead.

His eyes lit up suddenly, and he commanded the messenger bird and said, "Messenger bird, let's come and have a fight with this green caterpillar!" ”

"Bibi!"

Hearing the sound below, the green caterpillar in the canopy calmly looked down.

Want to fight it?

The green caterpillar looked at the messenger bird without fear.

Seeing that the green caterpillar was also ready for battle, Carter began to order: "Courier Bird, use the Frozen Wind!" ”

"Bibi!"

When the command was given, the ice attribute energy on the messenger bird's body quickly condensed, and it flapped its wings, and a stream of frozen cold air automatically condensed and swept towards the green caterpillars on the branches.

"Although the ice attribute does not restrain the green caterpillar, but the messenger bird has worked hard for so long, the power of the frozen wind must have been greatly improved compared to before, and it must be no problem to defeat a green caterpillar."

Green caterpillars are known to be notoriously weak Pokémon, and when faced with other Pokémon, they have little to no ability to resist other than spitting out fragile worm silk.

Looking at the freezing wind sweeping out, Carter couldn't help but think to himself.

However, in the next second, the green caterpillar made an unexpected move.

I saw it calmly look at the freezing wind, and then quickly spit out worm silk from its mouth to block it.

The amount of worm silk was surprisingly large, and in just a few breaths, a web of worms without gaps was formed.

The frozen wind hit the insect net, and although the insect net was frozen into ice, the umbrella-like ice just protected the green caterpillar behind it.

"What?"

Carter was slightly stunned.

Just as he was stunned, the insect net that had been frozen into ice fell to the ground, and immediately after, a large net with a flickering yellow electricity shot out from behind.

Before the messenger bird could react, its body was hit by the grid.

Wisps of electricity spread, and the messenger bird let out a cry of pain, then rolled its eyes and lost its ability to fight.

Seeing this scene, Carter was directly stunned, and his face showed an expression of disbelief.

If he's not mistaken, the trick that the green caterpillar used just now is the power grid?

But how is that possible?!

Is this still the green caterpillar he knows?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Carter turned to look and saw Naoki walking towards him.

He was about to say something when the wild green caterpillar in the tree jumped down and went to Naoki's side.

Carter's eyes widened, and the words that had come to his lips changed halfway: "Mr. Naoki...... Is this green caterpillar your Pokémon? ”

"Hmm." Naoki nodded, he looked at the unconscious messenger bird, raised an eyebrow and asked, "You just fought against it?" ”

Judging by the messenger bird, it must have been defeated by the green caterpillar with the power grid.

With the electric attribute twice the restraint flight stat, coupled with the green caterpillar's surprise attack, it is not surprising that it can defeat the messenger bird.

Hearing this, the little young master from the city immediately blushed and hurriedly apologized: "I'm very sorry!" I thought it was a wild Pokémon! ”

"......" Naoki was just about to speak, when suddenly, a rich milky white light burst out from the green caterpillar that came to his side.

In the light, the green caterpillar's body changed rapidly.

The originally soft body became as hard as iron, the compound feet under the body disappeared and became smooth, the body was crescent-shaped, there was a green protrusion on the back, and the black eyes were half-open and half-closed.

When the white light dissipated, the original green caterpillar disappeared and was replaced by a new ironclad chrysalis.

Looking at this scene, Carter opened his mouth, a little surprised: "Enter, evolve!" ”

Naoki had a smile on his face, "I should thank you for helping the green caterpillar complete its evolution." ”

"No, it's not my credit!" Carter was a little embarrassed.

Naoki smiled, stretched out his hand and picked up the iron chrysalis and walked in the direction of the wooden house: "Let's go back first!" Your messenger bird looks like it needs healing. ”

Carter followed.

Naoki looked down at the green caterpillar and said, "Congratulations, you've successfully evolved. ”

The Ironclad Chrysalis cannot speak, nor can it move, and can only use to harden.

Under normal circumstances, green caterpillars in the wild will find a safe place before they evolve, spit out worm silk and hang themselves on trees, and then they will start to evolve.

Therefore, just now, when the green caterpillar sensed that he was about to evolve, he immediately ran to Naoki's side.

For Naoki, the green caterpillar is very trusting. It trusts that the other person will take it to a safe place.

Sure enough, just as it expected, Naoki took it back to the cabin.

Considering the environment that the green caterpillar prefers, before placing it, Naoki asked, "Would you like to stay outside or in the room?" If you want to stay outside, blink. ”

The Ironclad Chrysalis blinked.

Naoki nodded: "Okay, then I'll make you a box with a wooden plank later." ”

The ironclad chrysalis couldn't move, and could only look at it with grateful eyes.

Naoki temporarily placed the green caterpillar on a blanket, then turned to check on Carter's messenger bird.

The messenger bird was already unconscious, and its body twitched slightly, as if it was affected by the electrical energy.

"Just mix the cherry fruit with the orange fruit and feed it to it." With that, Naoki stood up, took out two kinds of fruit from the fruit basket, mixed them together, and fed them to the messenger bird.

Soon, the messenger bird opened its eyes in a daze and recovered.

Seeing this scene, Carter breathed a sigh of relief, but then, he thought of the performance of the green caterpillar just now, and asked with a shocked face, "Mr. Naoki, how did you do it?" ”

Naoki was slightly stunned: "What? ”

Carter: "How did you train the green caterpillar to that point?" ”

A green caterpillar with an insect attribute can defeat a messenger bird with a flying attribute in one move.

What is even more unbelievable is that the green caterpillar was able to use such a decisive trick as the "power grid".

It is impossible for a green caterpillar to learn this trick on its own, unless someone has specially trained it.

But it's also extremely difficult, and it's impossible for a novice trainer to do that.

Not to mention that the green caterpillar does not have electrical attribute energy in its body, and wants to teach it the power grid, unless the trainer uses some kind of secret technique.

Even a Heavenly King-level trainer may not be able to succeed!

Conquered the mysterious and powerful Pokémon and taught a weak green caterpillar to learn the power grid......

Mr. Naoki is probably a very powerful trainer!

Carter looked at it excitedly.

Naoki: "......"

An embarrassed but polite smile appeared on his face: "That's all the efforts of the green caterpillar himself, it's a very special Pokémon." ”

That's right, except for feeding the green caterpillar a few times, Naoki never gave the green caterpillar any help, relying on its own efforts.

If you want to become a powerful Pokémon, hard work and luck are indispensable.

Carter, however, had a look on his face that I understood and I understood.

After all, this is a secret technique that only Mr. Naoki can master.

Naoki didn't know what the kid in front of him was thinking, but judging from his expression and eyes, he always felt that he had made up something strange in his brain.

He didn't want to go on the subject, so he got up and went to prepare breakfast.

Instead of cooking for breakfast, Naoki made a simple sandwich out of smoked sausages and tomatoes bought from the market.

Despite this, Loton and the motorcycle lizard still had a good time.

Carter and the messenger bird also looked grateful.

After breakfast, Carter prepared to leave the ranch and head to the nearest town to resupply before returning to Orange Academy.

He stood at the exit of the ranch with the messenger bird and waved goodbye to Naoki: "Mr. Naoki, goodbye!" Thank you very much for your stay! I will always remember you! When I have time, I'll come and visit you with the messenger bird! ”

Naoki bowed slightly: "Go!" ”

Carter waved his hand vigorously, and then turned and ran in the direction of Zhenqin Town.

Naoki stood there looking at his back, and suddenly felt a bit like the supporting characters that Ash met in the anime.

Occasionally, he helped passing trainers and chatted with them about travel and Pokémon, and after a brief encounter, they began to separate, and they continued their life's journeys.

Thinking of this, Naoki shook his head and smiled to himself.

It wasn't until he could no longer see Carter that he turned around and went to the utility room and began to make a nest for the ironclad chrysalis.

He used a saw to cut the wood into the shape of planks, then took out a few nails and nailed those planks into an open wooden box.

Back to the wooden house in front, Naoki spread fresh leaves in it, put two tree fruits, put the iron chrysalis in it, and finally strung the wooden box with a rope and hung it under the eaves where the rain could not be wet.

The open wooden box allows the chrysalis to see the outside and allows air to circulate.

After evolving from a green caterpillar to an iron chrysalis, the iron chrysalis does not need to fight to grow.

The entire stage of the pupa is the stage it uses to prepare for evolution, the hard pupal shell protects the body of the pupa inside, and the internal body grows by constantly renewing cells.

When it grows to a certain extent, the ironclad chrysalis will break out of its shell, turn into a butterfly, and evolve into the final form of the Bada butterfly.

Naoki is looking forward to that day.

For this kind of Pokémon, thanks to the influence of Ash's Ba Da Butterfly, there are also some childhood filters in his heart.

"Grow up quickly!"

Naoki reached out and touched the shell of the iron chrysalis.

As if sensing the expectation in his heart, the iron chrysalis hardened, and a layer of crystal green light appeared on its body in response to Naoki's words.

It heard.
