Pokémon: The Bold Rat

Because they had been in the secret realm before, Uncle Wuneng and Sandshangwang knew these little tricks in the wild. So with the reminders of Teacher Leng and Captain Lin, Zhao Yiyuan reacted quickly and found a low lawn as a temporary base.

Then, leaning back against a huge withered stump, they began to divide the spoils.

I had only seen Beedrill before, so I dealt with it quickly.

With the sound of "puff~puff", the tail needle, double needles and poison sac were taken out.

He asked Rattata and Sandshrew about the remaining pieces of meat.

All I got was rejection!

Although they eat meat, they are used to eating cooked food, so they feel a little uncomfortable eating raw food.

As for making a fire and barbecuing, even children who have never been out of the wild know this idea. If you don't have the strength to dare to do it, you're afraid that this time next year will be the trainer's death anniversary.

Anyway, Zhao Yiyuan didn’t think he could defeat an entire forest of insect-type elves.

Therefore, it is impossible to make a fire.

But I feel a little reluctant to waste it, and the materials are not easy to carry!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyuan looked at the gray-blue backpack behind Captain Lin.

If he saw it correctly, the materials for the giant Beedrill were put into the same small backpack by that team member.

[This must be the rumored space backpack! ]

"Haha~No, I'll give this to you first."

Seeing the boy's eyes, Lin Guoqiang laughed and threw his backpack over, while explaining:

"You guessed it right, this is a space backpack, mine is 5 cubic meters, which is considered a mid-range one.

All I have is a 1 cubic meter, lowest-level backpack."

"I'm just lending this to you today, you must return it to me once you leave the forest.

After all, it’s very expensive. Even with the alliance subsidy, it still cost me 5 alliance coins!"

"Okay, okay, thank you Captain Lin, you are such a good person."

He happily picked up the backpack and found a plastic bag inside. He didn't hesitate to wrap the ingredients and threw them in.

It’s clear that for students without backpacks, the makeshift coaches are not only a lifesaver, but also serve as a warehouse.

For these greenhorns who are entering the wild for the first time, all they have to do is gain as much experience as possible without having to worry about anything else.

After dealing with the Beedrill, Zhao Yiyuan looked at the Butterfree and was in a dilemma. He didn't know what was valuable on Butterfree.

"Compound eyes are the most valuable!"

Just at this moment, Teacher Leng came over, took the dagger from his hand, and explained:

"After Butterfree evolves, it can learn telekinetic moves from its bloodline. Although most of them don't even have the mental strength to use telekinesis once, its compound eyes have also transformed into a treasure that can communicate with the mind.

A pair of apprentice-level Batiatrix compound eyes is worth 300 Alliance coins."

As he spoke, he used force with the dagger, and with a "pop", two red, soft compound eyes were dug out and handed into the boy's hands.

"Besides that, there are the various colored scale powders on the wings of the Butterfly. If you scrape off all the powder from a Butterfly, you can probably get fifty Alliance Coins."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Hearing this, Zhao Yiyuan took the knife back and began to carefully scrape off the scales and put it in a plastic bag.

This look made Lin Guoqiang smile knowingly, and he whispered:

"You are such a money-grubber student!"

Scaling powder is too time-consuming and the profit is only fifty League Coins, so most trainers are too lazy to do it.

In response to this, Leng Ruoning did not give a direct answer, but just said:

"Yiyuan is a kid who doesn't have any advantages from a good family background. He has come this far by working very hard."

"Haha~ Really? That's good, very good."

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Lin Guoqiang quickly laughed it off, then changed the subject and began to impart his experience to the young man.

"That's great, kid. While you're scraping off the scales, let me tell you why you think the Butterfree and the Beedrill were able to find us directly and even deploy a strategy?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Yiyuan paused, hesitated for a moment, and then replied:

"Is it because these insect-type elves are extremely familiar with the environment?"

"A little bit right."

After nodding and shaking his head, Lin Guoqiang's scarred face showed a hint of envy for the first time.

"In addition to being familiar with the environment, more importantly, this Butterfree can use telekinesis!"

"But Batdaibutte's telekinesis can't even do a decent attack!"

Zhao Yiyuan subconsciously refuted this explanation.

Anyone who has studied the basic theory of elves knows that although Butterfree is known as the easiest telekinetic elf to obtain, it is completely useless!

Their weak bodies mean that they have little mental strength, so almost 99% of Butterfree can't even move a stone with its telekinesis.

In this case, what’s the use of Butterfree’s telekinesis?

Just as he thought of this, his expression changed again.

[No, that's not right. Telekinesis is not only used for attacking, it can also be used for detection! ]

"It's telekinesis detection! I understand!"

He overturned his previous statement and before Captain Lin could respond, he got into a new problem.

"But in this case, why don't people choose Butterfree? Why do people think Beedrill is stronger than Butterfree?"

Fortunately, Captain Lin answered this question directly.

"That's because Butterfree's mental power can only explore 5-8 meters in one direction at best, and the feedback is not particularly clear.

If the feedback from other Psychic Pokémons is a clear portrait, then Butterfree's is a city covered by white fog, with only the rough outline visible. "

"It's just that Butterfree is too familiar with this patrol area. When they see a different outline, they know they've encountered an enemy."

"Oh~ So that's how it is."

After understanding the whole story, Zhao Yiyuan suddenly realized.

"Besides this, there is also your shortcoming. In this encounter, although it seems that you did a good job and defeated the four enemies with ease.

But you can do better!"

Patting his thigh, Lin Guoqiang began to teach the battle process.

"In this battle, the reactions of the Rattata and Sandshrew were remarkable. As it was their first time facing an enemy in the wild, they almost completed their tasks."

"Pulada?w?"

"Kuga?w?"

The two little ones who were on guard nearby narrowed their eyes happily when they heard this, and their alert posture became more serious.

I, Shushu, am praised wow!

Then I heard “but” again.

"But your own on-the-spot performance was terrible. You know, in the wild, if we trainers are not elite, we are the biggest weakness of our Pokémons.

When the poison needle came at you just now, why didn't you just roll to the ground, but instead watched the Sandshrew block it for you? Are you so sure that an elf can help you block all attacks?

Or do you trust the quality of the protective clothing and think it is unnecessary? "

"I……"

Zhao Yiyuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.

He had always been giving orders from a safe position. Although he knew that things would be different in the wild, when the real situation came, his body was unable to react and he subconsciously did not take any crisis action.

Seeing the boy in this state, Lin Guoqiang did not criticize him any more. He just patted his shoulder and encouraged him:

"Kid, you still have a lot to learn. It's normal for your body to not react at first, but you must change your mindset."

"Okay! Thank you Captain Lin for your guidance."

Zhao Yiyuan nodded seriously, agreed, and then asked:

"Teacher, Captain Lin, is the route we are taking different from others?"

"nature."

Hearing this, Leng Ruoning gave an affirmative answer.

"Your goal is to hunt primary Pokémons, which cannot be accomplished just outside the forest. So the path I'm taking you on is the only way to the nests of Beedrill and Butterfree.

There must be patrols along the way."

"And the teacher believes in your ability. After experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, you will definitely grow rapidly."

"Uh...okay."

Zhao Yiyuan, who was placed with high hopes, touched his nose, packed up his things and continued on his journey.

On the way, Lin Guoqiang crammed common knowledge about the forest into his head one sentence at a time.

“This flowerless clover is actually one of the main ingredients of the healing spray. It is also very common. Elves who are injured in the wild will look for this herb to heal themselves.

If you run out of medicine in the wild, reach for this.”

"Also, pay attention to the movement of the grass and leaves. Don't ignore even the slightest movement!"

……

Fortunately, Zhao Yiyuan improved his hardware (brain thinking) conditions by practicing questions, otherwise he would not be able to remember them.

Of course, we encountered another patrol team along the way, but this time there was no telekinetic Butterfree there, only three high-level apprentice Beedrills.

The little Rada was easily dealt with, allowing the three of them to enter the inner forest smoothly.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooo!”

"Oh~"

Not far away, I saw a few caterpillars and hornworms leisurely eating leaves. There were also two giant beedicles in the late stage of apprenticeship leaning on the branches to watch over them.

“The two types of elves, unicorn beetles and green caterpillars, evolve very quickly and don’t need many resources, so even if they have poor aptitude, they won’t be driven out at this stage and become food for other elves.

But once they have evolved successfully, it will be up to the leader of the group to decide whether they stay or go.

In fact, most of the Beedrills and Butterfrees we encountered before had exhausted their potential and were consumables that could not be upgraded to the primary level.

We can only patrol the outskirts of the forest, survive, and even attract firepower."

"Ah."

After listening to the teacher's explanation, Zhao Yiyuan gained a deeper understanding of the survival methods of the insect tribes.

Although it is cruel to the elves exiled to the periphery, this is actually the way for weak ethnic groups to survive.

Use the low-potential tribesmen to build the first line of defense!

But just as he was feeling emotional, he saw a white thread shot out from the bushes with a "whoosh" and hit a unicorn beetle.

"Woooooo! ≥﹏≤"

The unicorn beetle was so frightened that it screamed in panic.

"His spleen!"

“Woooo ...

At the call of the Beedrill, the other hornworms and green caterpillars immediately gave up eating and swarmed behind it.

Unfortunately, the spider moved slowly and two more unlucky guys were caught under the whooshing spider web.

Then, a yellow-red spider-like elf with a huge horn walked out of the bushes.

While collecting the net, he shouted threateningly:

"Ah~"

Faced with the threat of a junior Alidos, the two Beedrills, who were only at the advanced level of their apprenticeship, were very obedient.

"Hiss spleen~hiss spleen~"

He raised his big needle, responded in a strong tone, then protected the remaining unicorn worms and the caterpillar retreated.

It ignored the other three cubs in the spider web and let them cry "Woo! Woo! " in the web.

Protecting the cubs is just a job, it's not worth it for the two of them to risk their lives against Alidos!

Not to mention, the cubs they were protecting weren't the best in the group, so if they died, they died.

Compared to them having evolved into their final form, these little ones are not worth it.

"Ah~"

In response to this, Ariados, who was lurking in, had a flash of contempt in his eyes.

It turns out that these two tribes are still so timid and cowardly!

Of course, now that he had obtained the fresh food, Alidos himself did not want to fight a battle for no reason.

"Whoosh whoosh."

It spit out strands of silk, wrapped the three insect cubs into a cocoon, and threw them onto its back, ready to evacuate.

After all, it is someone else's base camp. If you are too arrogant and cause a siege, you may not know how you died even if you are just a beginner.

Although a single Beedrill or Butterfree is not strong, it would be terrifying if dozens of them attacked together.

"Let's go, let's follow him and target that Alidos!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yiyuan immediately signaled to Rattata and Sandshrew.

The man and two rats tiptoed and slowly hoisted it up.

The hunting target of the three primary elves is about to be completed, how can we let Alidos escape!

"Lucky boy."

After Lin Guoqiang sighed, he followed Leng Ruoning.

A primary Beedrill or Butterfree is already the middle and high-level of these two races. If you want to hunt them, it is impossible without going deeper.

This is the real difficulty in hunting primary insect-type Pokémon. In a real one-on-one situation, most students in Class 1 can win.

Soon, after following Alidos for a distance and seeing that they were about to exit the dense jungle, Zhao Yiyuan decided not to wait any longer.

"Rattata, go ahead, Freeze Beam!"

"Pulada!"

Upon hearing the order, the little guy's figure flashed and "swooshed", and in a flash of lightning he closed the distance between the two sides.

"Ali!"

Seeing the purple mouse rushing out, Alidos raised his head in surprise, and then opened his mouth decisively.

"Shhhhhh!"

Purple poison needles shot over.

Wild elves are much more decisive than domesticated elves because they have to be vigilant at all times against enemies that may pop up out of nowhere.

Little Rada had already deeply experienced this in the previous encounter.

So, with a "bang", he took advantage of the impact of the flash of lightning to roll on the ground and directly avoided it, while blue light condensed in his mouth.

"call out!"

A beam of ice hit Ariados' right side.

"Kakaka~"

A large amount of ice spread, freezing his right limbs in the ice.

"It's still a little off. If it had hit the head, the battle would have been over."
