MTL - Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 12 The strengthening effect of worm silk

 In the afternoon, Zhishu rode Gulton straight to the back mountain.

As for why the one riding is not the Motorized Lizard, but the Guluton...

That's because when Naoki said he was going to the back mountain, Luton volunteered to take him there.

Hunter was left in the pasture by Naoki to look after the house to prevent small Pokémon such as Panda, Swimming Weasel, and Bigtail from stealing fish.

  Riding on Gulledon is a completely different feeling than riding a motorcycle lizard.

Motor Lizard is like a small sheep electric car, while in comparison, Guluton is much larger, like a large motorcycle.

But having said that, if it were a motorcycle, Naoki felt that Milton from the future would be more like it.

Since this world is where Luton ran out of the giant pit of Padia, then this should be Zhu's world, right?

Piper may have also lost his mother, Dr. Olin...

 Zhi Shu was thinking randomly in his heart.

Huluton was very fast and entered the back mountain area in the blink of an eye.

This time their purpose was not to find wild products to sell for money, but to find a green caterpillar and test the effects of cooking on it.

 The forest was lush and green in the afternoon, and the calls of bird Pokémon could be heard in the distance.

Zhi Shu patted Gulton on the shoulder to slow down, and then carefully observed the surroundings, trying to find traces of green caterpillars in the dense canopy and deep grass.

As we all know, among all Pokémon, Green Caterpillar is notoriously weak.

 Although there are weaker Magikarp and Tench below it, the Green Caterpillar does not seem to be much stronger than them.

 Before evolving, it could only use three moves: impact, silk spinning, and insect bite.

 After evolving into an armored chrysalis, it can only harden with one move, and has no other means of attack.

Only after evolving to the final stage of the Bad Butterfly, the green caterpillar can truly transform from a cocoon into a butterfly and complete its metamorphosis.

In nature, such weak green caterpillars often become prey for other Pokémon.

The Bibi bird is the most famous natural enemy of the green caterpillar.

Because of this, in the forest, in order to avoid being discovered by natural enemies, green caterpillars usually hide in dense places such as bushes and grasslands, and use the surrounding environment to hide themselves.

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the grass nearby.

 Zhi Shu got off Gu Ledun and walked forward lightly.

The Pokémon hiding in the grass heard the footsteps outside and immediately stopped moving, and the rustling sound also disappeared.

Zhishu pushed aside the grass, and as expected, he saw a green caterpillar with a tense body and a very frightened look inside.

You are the one!

Zhi Shu's eyes lit up when he saw the green caterpillar clearly, but he soon noticed that the green caterpillar seemed to be injured?

After careful observation, Naoki saw several claw marks on its body, which seemed to be caused by a certain bird Pokémon.

The green caterpillar also discovered him and Guluton at this moment, and it looked a little scared.

Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows. He wondered if this green caterpillar was lucky. He just happened to have two orange fruits on him to restore his physical strength.

 Taking out the two orange fruits from his backpack, Zhishu stretched out his hand towards the green caterpillar.

However, this green caterpillar seemed a little nervous. When it saw the approaching hand, it instinctively opened its mouth and spit out a bunch of white threads.

The worm thread was wrapped around Zhi Shu's hand, but its quality was really not very good. Zhi Shu pulled hard and the worm thread was torn off by him.

"Too weak." Naoki shook his head, opened his palms to reveal the berries inside, and explained: "You should be able to understand what I'm saying, right? I don't mean to hurt you. You can get better by eating them." .”

Hearing this, the green caterpillar was slightly startled and looked at the human in front of him with a pair of big dark eyes.

 “Here!” Zhishu put the fruit on the grass in front of the green caterpillar.

The green caterpillar did not attack him this time. It lowered its head and began to eat the orange fruits on the ground. By the time both fruits were eaten until only the cores were left, most of the green caterpillar's injuries had healed.

Looking at this scene, Naoki asked: "Do you want to become stronger?"

 His tone was full of temptation.

The green caterpillar looked puzzled.

“You are too weak now. The silkworms you are so proud of are so vulnerable in front of other Pokémon. Are you often attacked by other Pokémon and chased by them as food?”

The green caterpillar nodded blankly: "Uh-huh..."

Naoki continued: "So are you willing to live your current life? Everyone in the world thinks you are weak. Have you ever imagined that one day, you can rely on your own strength to defeat those guys who treat you as food, dominate the entire forest, and let No Pokémon dares to underestimate you."

Is it really possible?

The green caterpillar was completely sluggish.

Is it willing?

 It is not willing to give in!

Everyone considers it to be the weakest Pokémon, and even a newborn Pidgey can easily prey on it.

Green Caterpillar imagined himself stepping on Pidgeotto, shocking all the bird Pokémon.

 It's heart suddenly ignited with an unprecedented passion.

 The deception was successful!

Zhi Shu didn’t say much. He took out the glutinous rice dumplings he had prepared in advance, placed them in front of the green caterpillar, and said to it:

 “Eat it, you will become stronger after eating it.”

The green caterpillar looked at the white thing, then moved forward without hesitation, opened its mouth and started eating.

After finishing the entire glutinous rice dumpling, the green caterpillar couldn't help but burp.

 On the surface, its body does not seem to have changed much.

After thinking for a while, Naoki said to it: "Can you show me how to spin silk again?"

 “Hiss!”

The green caterpillar opened its mouth, and a bunch of slightly sticky white threads spurted out from its mouth.

 Compared to the silk spinning method just now, the amount of worm silk it spit out this time was obviously much larger.

Even the green caterpillar himself was stunned.

Zhi Shu picked up the worm threads, wrapped them around his hands, and tried hard to break free. Although the worm threads were stretched out in an arc, they did not break like before.

“Sure enough, the toughness and viscosity have been greatly improved, and the strength is obviously not of the same order of magnitude.”

Zhishu thought to himself, and said to the green caterpillar: "Congratulations, you have become stronger."

 Now that he has finished testing the effect of the glutinous rice dumplings, there is no need for him to stay here.

 Zhi Shu rode on Gu Ledun and turned around to leave.

 Hearing what he just said, the green caterpillar looked very excited.

 But it soon calmed down again.

 This strength alone is not enough, it wants to become stronger! Let no one dare to look down upon themselves!

 Humans who can make themselves stronger...

Looking at the retreating figures of the human and the powerful Pokémon, the green caterpillar didn't know what he was thinking.
