Chapter 48 Friendly Missions (rewrite)

...

A week had passed since the quiet training days.

After the first two days of almost closed training, Natsu and Weedle started to "pick up" on the third day. Ahem, start taking orders.

Anyway, life must go on, Pokéblock Weedle needn't worry for now, but sooner or later he'll have to train a second Pokemon, and it's always right to get a little more.

The person who came the most during that period was Kenji.

His arrival wouldn't affect Natsu and Weedle's training, but Kenji wasn't without an advantage. He brought Bulbasaur to train with him, and he gradually became a slightly more formal trainer.

Although he has always been the one to be abused when fighting against Natsu, he is able to lead the battle and play Bulbasaur well, and occasionally gives Weedle some surprises.

Meanwhile, Weedle's progress was visible to the naked eye.

Weedle had gone through two changes, one to strengthen himself, and one to amplify his toxicity, but there was no chance to calm down and turn these changes into his own strength.

This training gave him a good opportunity to settle down, Weedle clearly recognized his own changes, and became familiar with the changes, which gradually turned into an increase in strength.

Today's Weedle can clearly feel the strong muscles hidden under the carapace only from the outside, and the tiny dark purple eyes also reveal a strong confidence.

It is an exercise that improves both body and mind.

His strength also increased significantly.

Although the evaluation is still only at the excellent level, it barely reached the excellent level before, but now it has gained a strong foothold in the excellent level level and is moving towards a higher level.

Natsu also uses this time to learn more about Pokémon and focus on Breeder knowledge.

Not a long term solution to keep buying Pokéblocks.

It doesn't matter if there's only one Weedle now, even if a second Pokemon is caught next, it shouldn't be holdable, but he can't be limited to one or two Pokemon all the time.

When there are more Pokemon in the future, Pokemon food will be a big deal.

If he can make his own Pokéblocks, he can save a lot of resources and use them to cultivate Pokemon elsewhere, and maybe even make a lot of money.

But this is not something that can be done overnight. If he didn't hurry, it probably wouldn't work, but at least he wouldn't go wrong if he tried.

After all, he had learned a lot about types of Pokémon.

Club director's office.

Director Rotto called out to Natsu again.

Sitting behind the desk, his suit neat and tidy, and his hair back combed, it seemed this director was dressed like this from start to finish.

Rotto lightly swiped a document with a golden quill and handed it to Natsu.

"This is a mission, you see, if it's okay, I will leave it to you." Rotto said lightly, his eyes passed over Natsu's body and stopped on Weedle on his shoulder for a few seconds.

Natsu took the file and flipped through it for a while.

He frowned slowly.

"How?"

Natsu closed the file, rolled it up and pinched it in the palm, "No, I will take over the task."

Rotto nodded with satisfaction "Do well, there will be a lot of work ahead, if you can continue to stay at the club."

"Yes." Natsu answered lightly, turned around and walked out of the office.

After leaving, Weedle on his shoulder lightly rubbed his cheek, "Woo?"

Weedle, who knew Natsu, sensed Natsu's doubts sensitively.

"It's nothing, I just think this task is too friendly." Natsu clenched the rolled-up document in his hand, feeling the tension of the paper with his fingertips.

"Woo?"

'Aren't friendly missions the best?'

Weedle was even weirder.

Easy to complete, then come back to submit tasks, earn money and buy more delicious food.

Have a good time.

Natsu didn't notice Weedle's excitement, only reviewing the specifics of his mission.

This time's mission is to let him go to the forest outside Saffron City to catch Tangela, and the reward is 50 thousand Alliance coins, because the Pokemon's original value is also included, so the reward will be relatively high.

Tangela is a single attribute Grass-Type Pokémon, there aren't many, but since the single-Grass-Type isn't very popular, and it's not very beautiful, it's not expensive.

And the Grass-Type Tangela was double restrained by the Bug-Type and Poison-Type Weedle. He is well suited for this task.

If he just looked at it like this, there seemed to be no problem.

But don't forget, the person who posted the quest is Team Rocket!

When did Team Rocket become so friendly?

A task that is not too difficult, and a generous reward, will have everyone feeling excited.

If he thought about it carefully, it was true that there was no mistake. Reasonable target Pokemon, reasonable compensation, reasonable task object, everything is reasonable.

But when a person is too suspicious, too reasonable becomes unreasonable in his opinion.

It was just that he really couldn't think of anything wrong.

"Am I overthinking? Team Rocket respects me and Weedle's potential, and wants to nurture me this way?" Natsu thought slightly self-deprecatingly.

There seems to be no other reason than this.

Wait

Suddenly, a figure appeared in his mind.

That big, confident smile, that Friend of Justice dress, and that weird cloak.

This is Lance.

"Is it because of Lance?" His dark eyes blinked.

It is not impossible.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Forget it, it's the same, earning money is the key."

Returning to the room and tidying up the equipment and Weedle After changing into light clothes, he set foot in the car leaving Saffron City again.

There should be a week or so before Weedle evolves. This is the key to seizing the remaining time and mentioning Weedle's upper limit.

And after Weedle evolves into Kakuna, it takes a lot of resources to accumulate, how can this money be obtained.

Natsu carried his luggage with him all the time, and he was probably just a passerby in this world right now.

Leave Saffron City again and enter the Wild Pokémon area alone.

This mission was still just a rough area, no exact location, and in contrast to the slums which would provide some useful information, so he had been prepared to survive in the wild for a long time.

He and Weedle crossed the starting zone without any disturbance, and entered the forest where the danger level was classified as intermediate rank.

Here.

Rarely visited.

Natsu ducked into the dense grass more than a meter high.

There was still a considerable distance from the target's location. Even though it was safe to turn around, it would definitely waste more time.

Go straight in, because the grass is too thick, sight and hands will be blocked, and the danger level will increase, but Natsu does it anyway.

Weedle's increase in strength, and the vigilance Weedle had shown during their many adventures, were a source of confidence for Natsu.

Of course, this also leads to the inevitable attacks of Wild Pokémon.

As it is now.

The rustling sound in the surrounding grass grew louder, and without Weedle's warning, the two knew that a Pokémon had smelled their "delicious" scent and quickly approached them.

Natsu paused, waiting for the expected attack.

Suddenly, when the rustling in the surroundings stopped, Raticate suddenly jumped out of the grass to Natsu's left, aiming at Natsu's neck with a pair of sharp front teeth and cold in the sun, long and sly eyes filled with greed for prey.

Apparently, Raticate made the smooth-skinned human Natsu the best prey.
