Chapter 8 Evolve, Metapod

"Good!"

"I captured Catterpie!"

Pika~~

Picked up the Catterpie Poké Ball, Ash made a gesture!

Except for Earl Dervish's Pokémon Pikachu, Catterpie was his first Pokémon after all, so it was of great significance.

But Ash couldn't do the same thing as in the original world line, where he repeatedly showed off in front of Misty after capturing Catterpie.

Every time he recalled those scenes, he couldn't help but sigh at the stupid thing's nerves.

Catterpie

Qualification: Blue

Level: lv.7

Ability: Scale Powder

Skills: Tackle, String Shot

Carried Items: None

Catterpie's Attribute Normal, blue qualification, may take several times longer to reach the Elite level than Pikachu.

The Ability Scale Powder is good, and it is protected by the Scale Powder and is not affected by the additional effects of moves.

After evolving into Butterfree, the Ability will also become a compound eye that increases the hit rate of the moves, which is very important for him who relies on various Status Condition powder moves.

"Ash, how did you capture a Catterpie!"

Misty came up and reminded: "Although Catterpie is easy to evolve, its potential is limited, and it is difficult for it to accompany the Trainer to the end!"

She saw that Ash had never captured Pokémon along the way, and guessed that he should have the mentality of not having anything better than something bad.

So he reminded her specially.

Even if Catterpie has good qualifications, the final evolution form of Butterfree is less than 400 Species Strength.

"It's okay, Misty, I'm very optimistic about him!"

Ash explained with a smile.

"Okay, as long as you know it in your mind!"

Seeing that Ash looked confident, Misty didn't persuade him much.

She just gave Ash advice from the perspective of a gym trainer

Considering that he is a Rookie Trainer after all, she didn't want him to take a detour

Now it seems that he still has to hit a wall!

If Catterpie is really strong, why can it be seen everywhere in the forests of Kanto? It has been captured by Trainers, Pokémon hunters, and evil organizations such as Team Rocket!

However, she didn't know.

For Ash, who has the system, as long as he is willing to work hard, ordinary Pokémon can be cultivated to the strength of legendary Pokémon!

Next, take advantage of the lunch break.

After Misty fell asleep, Ash checked the system space and took out the qualification improvement potion from it (the potential of Pokémon with gold or lower qualifications will be increased by one level after use)

This is the potion he obtained after completing the task of defeating Team Rocket

The potion is green and the bottle is oval.

It is a very standard laboratory vessel, the liquid is crystal clear and rich in the breath of life.

"Just give it to Catterpie, anyway, you can get it by completing tasks or points in the future!"

Thinking of this, Ash opened the Poké Ball and released Catterpie

The little guy's eyes were attracted by the potion in Ash's hand

He showed an extremely Covet look

"It's for you, don't worry!"

Ash opened the bottle stopper and poured the sticky green liquid onto a green leaf.

Catterpie climbed onto the green leaf and instantly absorbed all the liquid.

A faint green light bloomed on her body.

Catterpie

Qualification: Purple

Level: lv.7

Ability: Scale Powder

Skills: Tackle, String Shot

After using the qualification enhancement potion, Catterpie's original blue qualification was upgraded to purple.

The intimacy with Ash also increased significantly.

It's not much different from Pikachu!

I guess after a while, his intimacy will be maxed out.

Ash raised his eyebrows slightly, very satisfied with the effect of the qualification enhancement potion.

With purple qualifications, promotion to Elite level is no longer a dream!

As for the difficult upgrade path after Elite level, that will be a matter for the future.

Since the system can give enhancement potions below gold qualifications,

Maybe it can also give gold qualification potions as rewards in the future.

For now, he only needs to train Catterpie with confidence.

Lunch break is over.

After Catterpie joined the team, Ash and his team continued on their journey.

All the wild Pokémon they encountered on the way were dealt with by Pikachu if they were of high level, and those of Catterpie of similar level became experience packs for his growth.

After winning several battles in a row, Catterpie's level was raised from lv.7 to lv.8

It can only be said that the experience points obtained by the purple-qualified Catterpie in a battle are obviously much higher than those of the blue-qualified ones.

"Hey! Ash, is Catterpie going to evolve?"

"It is worthy of being one of the fastest evolving Pokémon!"

Misty looked at the Catterpie on the ground in surprise, whose whole body was covered by the bright white evolution light.

Along the way, she witnessed several battles of Catterpie.

Although she was afraid of Bug Type Pokémon, Misty was still shocked by the fighting power of Ash's Catterpie.

Catterpie's String Shot is extraordinary in both speed and toughness.

Once entangled, it is difficult to break free.

Compared with those weak Catterpies, it is much stronger!

I think it will be able to improve greatly after evolving into Butterfree!

It seems that Ash's vision of Pokémon is indeed better than hers!

Misty thought with a slightly red face.

She just advised Ash not to capture Catterpie!

With such vision and calm and composed battle command.

It is only a matter of time to collect all the gym badges. Maybe Rookie Trainer Ash can really perform brilliantly at the Indigo Plateau Conference!

Even, as long as Ash keeps this momentum.

He can compete for the top eight or even the top four.

As a Rookie Trainer, it is already very impressive to be able to achieve a result above the top eight at the Indigo Plateau Conference.

After all, he basically has to face veteran Trainers who have traveled for several years and have rich combat experience.

Misty stared at Ash and thought silently.

Ash's eyes were all focused on Catterpie, which was shrouded in the light of evolution.

Unlike the boring game screen, when Catterpie's figure began to change under the shining light of evolution.

Ash was still very excited.

At this moment, he could understand the feelings of those Pokémon fans who loved Pokémon in their previous lives and traveled with Pokémon.

As the light gradually faded, a completely new figure that was completely different from the Catterpie form appeared in front of Ash and others.

A blue crescent-shaped pupa, with segments at the tail and front, and eyes that were often half open and half closed.

This is the evolution of Catterpie, Metapod!

In the Metapod stage, it is in the Contest Condition waiting for evolution, and it will Harden the shell to protect itself.

Try to consolidate the outer shell so that it can protect the soft and fragile body that is evolving.

Just wait for the moment of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

So during the Metapod period, try to avoid fighting, so that it can absorb the power accumulated during the Catterpie period faster, and accumulate strength for a breakthrough.

After the level is naturally increased, it can evolve into Butterfree!
