Chapter 13 Hundreds of Evolutionary Scenes

Mark's Caterpie looked a little scared.

When they came near the huge courtyard surrounded by wooden fences, they hid behind him.

Vague memories come to mind.

It seemed that every time he came near here, Caterpie would take him away.

Could it be that his Caterpie came from here and had bad memories here?

Mark looked at Caterpie and said, "Have you ever lived here?"

"Hiss."

Caterpie shook his head.

It seemed that with the presence of Mark and Old Man Aaron nearby, Caterpie's timidity subsided a little, and it gradually approached the wooden fence, looking at Caterpie inside with confusion and curiosity.

Is it simply not used to getting along with its own kind?

Mark observed Caterpie's behavior thoughtfully.

Without giving Mark too much time to think, the village chief, Old Man Aaron, introduced: "There are two main industries in Clear Creek Village. One is the tomato garden in the north of the village, and the other is silk weaving that every household engages in.

Caterpies raised here are the main source of silk thread used in silk production."

As Old Man Aaron spoke, he opened the door of Caterpie breeding base.

Before, it was difficult to see clearly because of the wooden fence.

When Mark opened the gate at this time, he saw hundreds of Caterpies moving in the grass at the front of the yard.

A breeder happened to be pushing a small cart of feed out of the warehouse. Caterpies seemed to have received a signal and quickly gathered towards the breeder.

The breeder Cody noticed that Old Man Aaron took the initiative to wave and said, "Village Chief, you are here!"

"Nothing, just bringing Mark here for a tour, you go ahead and do your thing!"

Old Man Aaron responded casually, and without explaining to Cody that Mark had become enlightened, he took Mark to the rear area of ​​the breeding base.

As Caterpie walked, its timidity improved further.

Not only did it gradually approach the nearby Caterpies, it would occasionally hiss at the Caterpies here. It just didn't dare to touch its own kind. Whenever a Caterpie of the same kind approached, it would panic and retreat a distance.

Soon, as he passed a row of wooden houses, Mark saw Caterpie room that looked like a beehive.

It seems that they have a good meal. Caterpies in the honeycomb grid rooms are slightly bloated and are constantly spitting out silk threads.

On the other side of the honeycomb cabin, countless silk threads were soaking in a pool. Mark smelled an alkaline smell, as if they were undergoing a certain process of reeling silk, soaking the silk threads in alkaline water.

Old Man Aaron explained: "As you can see, this is the process of Caterpie producing silk thread.

Caterpies are a type of Pokémon that is very easy to grow and evolve. Generally speaking, as long as they are well fed for a few days in a row, they can spit out silk threads at a high frequency.

If Caterpie can maintain a full state for about a month, it will naturally evolve into a metapod.

Then continue to wait for about a month and they will evolve into Butterfree.

The climate near Clear Creek Forest is very cold in winter. The butterfly butterflies will fly to the Sunrise Province in the south to mate and reproduce in the sea of ​​flowers in the Five-tailed fox Mountains. Then in the spring of the second or third year, they will return to their hometowns to give birth to offspring.

Every spring, some butterflies fly back here to lay eggs. At the same time, we will control their food intake and keep some Caterpies from evolving and staying over the winter.

However, the silk threads produced by these farmed Caterpies are generally of lower quality and are priced lower.

Therefore, in order to obtain high-quality silk threads, children in the village often use insect nets to catch wild Caterpies.

Look at this area, it is the wild Caterpies caught by the children in the village. The silk threads they spit out are not only tough, but after being soaked in alkaline water, the silk woven is also softer. "

Mark followed the direction of the village chief's finger and saw another group of Caterpies.

These Caterpies look no different from the previous ones, except that their bodies are a little bloated due to being full.

The only difference is that these Caterpies look more agile.

Mark looked at his own Caterpie, and he also felt this agility from his Caterpie.

Following the old village chief, Mark walked out of Caterpie's honeycomb cabin. Thousands of neatly arranged Metapod appeared in his sight.

It seemed that Mark's Caterpie saw so many Metapods for the first time, and his eyes were full of shock.

In fact, it's not just Mark's Caterpie, but Mark himself.

Old Man Aaron touched a Metapod next to him and said, "If you want to make money, my suggestion is to go to the forest and catch wild Caterpies. Depending on the shape and condition of Caterpie, each wild Caterpie can be exchanged for 35 to 100 Pokédollars.

Usually, after being raised for two to three weeks, the quality of the silk threads produced by wild Caterpies will drop significantly. If they are continued to be raised for one or two weeks and kept full, these Caterpies will evolve into metalloids.

In fact, catching wild Caterpies in the forest is also helping them.

Bird-type Pokémon are the natural enemies of Bug-type Pokémon. Caterpies in the Clear Creek Forest are constantly threatened by bird-type Pokémon like Pidgey and Spearow, and are also harassed by Arbok.

Bring the Caterpies here, and except for spinning silk, which will be a little more difficult, almost all of them can evolve smoothly. "

Mark thought thoughtfully: "The quality of the silk thread from wild Caterpies caught here for feeding has declined. Could it be a problem with the feed? If Caterpies are fed with their usual food, will the quality of the silk thread not decline?"

Old Man Aaron smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are not the first one to think so. In fact, if Caterpies are fed their usual food, the quality of their silk threads will decline in less than two weeks. It is better for them to eat the feed we prepare, and the quality of the silk threads can be maintained for nearly three weeks.

How about taking this job?"

"good."

Mark didn't think too much about it and agreed immediately.

In any case, earning money is a must.

After some thought, Mark decided to take Caterpies out in the forest during the day to practice hitting it to gain experience, while also looking for wild Caterpies to capture.

Then, just as Mark was thinking further, the cry of Caterpie interrupted Mark's thoughts.

"Hiss!"

Caterpie discovered something and moved to the side of an Metapod.

Mark walked over and asked, "You mean, this Metapod is in pain?"

Caterpie nodded repeatedly, but soon shook his head.

It wasn't quite sure what had happened to this Metapod.

Just at this moment, a shattering sound was heard.

Cracks appeared on the carapace of Metapod, and a white Butterfree emerged from the pupa. Its wings were wrinkled at first, but soon they stretched out.

And this is just the beginning.

There were continuous cracking sounds, and one Butterfree after another broke out of its cocoon. They spread their wings and soon began to dance in the air.

Caterpie's eyes widened at the sight before him.

The butterflies flying in the air look extremely happy and joyful, and also, very beautiful!

Will it become a Butterfree like this in the future?

Caterpie stood there in a daze. It couldn't describe the emotions that surged in its heart at this moment. It just felt that its mind was in a mess, and at the same time it had an urge to evolve and become a Butterfree.

It seems...it can also evolve.

"Don't be affected by the evolution of these Metapods. Do you remember what I told you this morning?"

Mark's words brought Caterpie back to reality.

Caterpie remembered what Mark had said to it this morning, and at the same time remembered the more than three years of impact practice that had been like a dream.

"Hiss!"

Mark rubbed Caterpie's head and said, "Yes, we have to lay a solid foundation now. Only when the foundation is perfect can we evolve!"

Old Man Aaron showed a teachable expression and said, "That's right. The more solid the training of the Pokémons before evolution, the stronger they will be after evolution. If you want to become stronger, Caterpie, you must make sure your foundation is solid before evolution!"

"Hiss!"

Caterpie struck a struggling pose and looked full of fighting spirit!

"Village Chief, if that's the case, then I'll go to the forest with Caterpie to catch wild Caterpies!"

"Be careful on your way. I also need to visit Alden's home, so I won't send you to the forest. Every insect catcher has different skills. It's up to you to catch Caterpie!

By the way, if you encounter suspicious people in the forest, be extra careful. Recently, people from the Thunder Group are likely to appear in Clear Creek Forest. If you encounter them, try to escape. If you find something wrong, come back and report to me as soon as possible."

"Um."

After saying hello to the old village chief, Mark left with Caterpie breeding base and headed west to Clear Creek Forest.

In the sky, thousands of Butterfree butterflies circled and flew towards the south. The scene was very spectacular. Mark looked up and then went into the forest with Caterpie without looking back.

Catching wild Caterpies to earn money would obviously delay some training time and slow down the progress of gaining experience, so he should hurry up and gain experience with Caterpies...
