“Jeni!”
“Yeddan!”
“Cha!!”
Facing the training schedule arranged for them by Xiao Mao, they readily accepted.
“Caterpie, why aren't you responding?” Xiao Mao hadn't heard Caterpie's call, so he looked towards it.
Caterpie didn't pay attention to Xiao Mao. It suddenly pointed its head towards the sky, spewing out a series of silk threads. The silk threads fell like a fountain, wrapping Caterpie's body. At the same time, the light of evolution shone.
Caterpie's body transformed into a crescent shape. When the white light dissipated,
an orange Metapod emerged, different from the ordinary ones.
Xiao Mao also took out his Pokédex and recorded the evolution process of Caterpie.
Professor Oak's Pokédex, besides introducing information about Pokémon, also had a recording function.
The evolution process of a Shiny Pokémon was worth recording. It could be used as a memory record to revisit later in life.
The evolved Metapod swayed its body, expressing gratitude to Xiao Mao.
As Xiao Mao had guessed, the reason Caterpie hadn't evolved was that it hadn't accumulated enough energy.
After eating the special Bug-type food Xiao Mao had prepared, along with high-quality energy cubes, it had accumulated enough energy and directly evolved into Metapod.
“Since you have evolved, come in.” Xiao Mao had originally planned to use Caterpie to train Yeddan's Hypnosis.
Now that Metapod had evolved, he could only give up training. The focus now was to take good care of Metapod and wait for it to evolve into a Butterfree.
While Bug-type Pokémon don't have strong psychic power, their Bug element energy is special and highly resistant to psychic energy, making them difficult to hypnotize. This makes them ideal for practicing Hypnosis on Yeddan and improving its control over psychic energy.
“Yeddan, it seems your training partner is gone. Join Jeni's group. You'll be responsible for using telekinesis to speed up the Water Gun Jeni shoots.” Xiao Mao said.
“Cha?” Scyther patted its head with its large scythe, feeling something was off.
Was this extra training for him?
Extra training so be it. Who's afraid of who?
Scyther had never lost a battle since birth. He couldn't believe he had lost so badly today.
Scyther immediately focused on Yeddan, determined to train hard and get revenge soon.
Yeddan just noticed Scyther was looking at it. Sensing its emotions, it didn't pay much attention. After all, today's battle was too smooth. This Scyther didn't seem very strong.
......!
The early bird catches the worm.
After getting up the next day,
Xiao Mao urged Jeni and the others to start training.
Because they were in the wild, Xiao Mao only had them train for an hour, resting for 15 minutes after every 15 minutes of training.
Yeddan only trained for a while before stopping. After all, they were in the wild. It was essential to keep at least one Pokémon in top condition to avoid unexpected accidents.
After training, he prepared food for the Pokémon.
After eating, with the help of his Pokémon, they packed up their luggage and set off on their journey again.
Along the way, Xiao Mao encountered several Trainers.
These Trainers were all newcomers who had recently obtained their Pokémon. Seeing other Trainers, they all challenged Xiao Mao.
Xiao Mao naturally accepted all of them, defeating five new Trainers in a morning.
Xiao Mao mainly used Jeni to fight, and its level had risen to level 13.
It was 3 levels away from reaching the first stage evolution requirement.
At Jeni's current state, it shouldn't be delayed in evolving.
With its Champion potential, its food and nutrition were well-maintained. Unless Jeni didn't want to evolve, it should evolve without any issues.
“It's noon, time to eat lunch.”
Xiao Mao continued cycling until noon, and he decided to stop and rest for lunch before continuing in the afternoon.
Xiao Mao had intended to travel alone, so he had learned about breeding since he was young. He was a qualified breeder.
“Come out and eat everyone.”
He prepared food for the Pokémon, released them all, and Metapod was also released to breathe some fresh air.
“Jeni!”
“Cha!!”
“Yeddan!”
The three Pokémon enjoyed the food Xiao Mao had prepared and began to eat heartily. They had occasional battles along the way.
Watching the Pokémon eat so happily, Xiao Mao went to eat his own fast food. It only needed to be heated with water.
【Ding! Task completed. Reward has been sent to your inventory.]
The system prompt suddenly sounded.
Xiao Mao checked the items in his inventory. The number of Low-Grade Rare Candies went from 13 to 23.
“That guy, Satoshi, finally left Viridian City. But why is he so slow? He stayed in Viridian City for an extra day.” Xiao Mao muttered.
However, he didn't think much of it. That guy, Satoshi, wasn't going to get into any trouble.
Xiao Mao looked at Jeni and the others. They had finished eating the food and were lying on the ground resting.
None of the four Pokémon were at a high level. Even 23 Low-Grade Rare Candies weren't enough. He should level them up first before using the Rare Candies.
After eating and drinking his fill, he rested for half an hour before setting off again.
Afternoon.
Xiao Mao refused to battle any Trainers he met along the way, mainly focusing on enjoying the scenery and searching for high-potential Pidgey.
To that end, he even released Metapod to see if he could lure any Pidgeotto.
Metapod was one of Pidgeotto's favorite foods. While it had a hard shell, if it was taken high into the air and dropped by Pidgeotto, it would definitely break. Then they could savor the delicious inside.
Metapod was completely unaware that it was being used as bait by Xiao Mao. It thought Xiao Mao was letting it out to breathe some fresh air and was very happy.
Unfortunately, until evening, not a single Pidgeotto appeared.
Xiao Mao had figured out one problem.
The early bird gets the worm. The same applied to Pidgeotto.
It seemed that only by riding with Metapod in the morning could he attract Pidgeotto.
Xiao Mao had given up on trying to capture Pidgey. High-potential Pidgey was too hard to find. He would capture Pidgeotto instead.
After all, they had evolved once, so their potential should be higher. Maybe he would have a chance to encounter a Gym potential Pidgeotto.
As for Gym potential or higher Pidgeotto, Xiao Mao wouldn't dare to expect it. He had been out for a few days, and he hadn't seen a single Elite Four potential Pokémon.
Two days later, in the morning.
Xiao Mao was about to leave Viridian Forest, but he still hadn't encountered the Pidgey or Pidgeotto he desired.
Viridian Forest, a place of abundance, couldn't even find a single Gym potential Pidgey or Pidgeotto.
