Chapter 38 Mark's Repayment

In fact, in the Pokémon game, pomelo can not only be used to make full medicine, but also can be used as a prop carried by the Pokémon.

When the health of the Pokémon is less than half, the pomelo fruit will be automatically consumed, restoring a quarter of the Pokémon's health, which is very effective in some elf battles.

Of course, reality is not a game.

If you carry the pomelo fruit with you, when the health volume exceeds half, it will automatically turn into nutrients to restore the Pokémon's health, and this situation will never happen.

After all, this is fruit, not a high-tech medical kit.

You can eat fruit during battle, but your opponents are not stupid. When they see you take out a fruit, they will definitely interfere.

In addition, how to carry the fruit is also a problem.

First of all, Pokémons basically don't wear clothes, and except for marsupials, they basically don't have pockets on their bodies.

Moreover, even if you only bring a bag temporarily, the fruits you carry can easily be broken during strenuous exercise.

Therefore, in real-world competitions, carrying tree fruits into battle will basically not occur.

But no matter what, the therapeutic effect of pomelo fruit is unquestionable.

Not only that, since the Orange Fruit can improve the physical fitness of Pokémons, then as a super superior substitute for the Orange Fruit, the Pomelo Fruit must have a similar effect, and it will be even more powerful.

Mark looked at the fruit in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Although I don't know the value of pomelo fruit in this world, I think it won't be too low. At least it won't be as cheap as orange fruit.

Seeing Mark staring at the pomelo fruit in a daze, Caterpie leader next to him gestured with his legs, as if telling Mark to peel the skin of the fruit and then feed the flesh to Caterpie.

Mark couldn't help laughing and said, "I know how to peel fruits, but pomelo fruit is too precious. There were so many orange fruits before, so it's okay for me to take some. Besides, I used the [Impact Training Method] for you, which can be regarded as payment. But this pomelo fruit..."

Mark paused for a moment and sneered, "It seems a bit hypocritical of me to explain it to you this way. After all, no matter what, for the growth of Caterpie, I will take this pomelo fruit, and if there are more pomelo fruits, I would like to pick more.

It's really a bit of a double-edged sword.

Well, since you gave me and Caterpie pomelo fruit, in order to repay you, I will give you some extra training and exercises..."

"?"

Following Mark's words, Caterpie leader subconsciously retreated continuously.

It watched the whole process of Mark's "training" of Caterpie today.

Ordinary Caterpies have limited intelligence and may not understand it, but it knows it clearly.

You know, even that perverted Caterpie with an extremely tough personality almost couldn't bear the "training" and burst into tears.

Can a wild Caterpie like this endure this kind of "exercise"?

Caterpie leader is very self-aware. He feels that he cannot bear it, and does not want to bear it.

Thinking of this, Caterpie leader shook his head like a rattle, making continuous noises and gesticulating with his legs.

The gist of it is that I have brought you this fruit that can heal injuries, so please don't repay your kindness with evil.

Seeing Caterpie leader's thoughts, Mark smiled and said, "You feel uneasy because you saw that my Caterpies have suffered a lot of injuries, right?

In fact, it is not what you think. I am not asking you to conduct this kind of practical training. And even if you want to conduct practical training, there are no actual combat conditions.

Caterpies have low intelligence. They can fight against the two of us outsiders, but they will not attack you, Caterpie leader. Even if you want to conduct similar practical training, it will be difficult to do so.

What I mean by training is actually training your brain. You should know that after you evolve, you will become Metapod, and then evolve into Butterfree, right?"

Caterpie leader nodded slightly.

Not only does it know that it can evolve into Butterfree, it can also evolve into Butterfree immediately.

Yes, evolve immediately.

As long as it wants, it can perform double evolution at any time and directly become a Butterfree that can dance in the air.

Seeing Caterpie leader nod, Mark nodded and said, "Since you know Butterfree, do you know that Butterfree's bloodline gene contains a skill called [Telekinesis]?"

Caterpie leader shook his head slowly, he didn't know.

Mark said: "Specifically, it is a force that influences and interferes with the outside world through thoughts.

For example, if I think about lifting you up in my mind, I can really lift you up through [telekinesis].

According to what I learned from the "Encyclopedia of Common Knowledge of Pokémons in the Kingdom of Summer", although Butterfree is very common, there are not many Butterfree that have mastered "Telekinesis".

I guess the key to mastering [Telekinesis] lies in wisdom and willpower. The intelligence of your and my Caterpies far exceeds that of ordinary Caterpies. After evolving into Butterfree, it should not be difficult for us to master [Telekinesis].

But this is just the initial mastery, just like my Caterpie's [silk spinning] is not as good as yours, and your [impact] is not as good as my Caterpie's. The same [telekinesis] will have different power when used by different Pokémons.

So, I started teaching Caterpie math some time ago to exercise its brain power, and now, I decided to include you in the fun."

"hiss?"

Caterpie leader was full of confusion. Mark's words made it understand [telekinesis] a little bit, but it didn't understand what "mathematics" was.

Seeing the confusion of Caterpie leader, Mark thought for a moment, picked up the pomelo fruit and asked, "How many of these fruits are there?"

The caterpillar leader kept making noises and gesticulating with his legs, but he still couldn't describe how many fruits there were. Finally, he tugged at Mark's clothes and wanted to take him to see for himself.

"This is when we need to use the most basic mathematical counting." Mark said as he took out the uneaten orange fruits from his backpack, "These are three orange fruits, these are seventeen orange fruits, and these are thirty-three orange fruits... If you could learn to count, you could have directly described the number of pomelo fruits to me just now."

Similar to Caterpies, following Mark's explanation, Caterpie leader also showed a curious and surprised expression.

Apparently, Caterpie leader had developed an interest in mathematics.

Mark touched the head of Caterpie leader and said, "Don't be so surprised. It's just counting. It's no big deal. With the intelligence of you and my Caterpie, we can learn something more complicated. I decided to at least teach you how to solve multivariate linear equations, and let you understand some geometry problems and learn spatial coordinates. You can build the x, y, and z axes in your mind, and then..."

Caterpie leader's interested expression gradually faded. Although it did not understand Mark's words, it felt a heavy and inexplicable pressure.

That was something it shouldn't have to endure.

Its body trembled slightly, as if reminding it to escape as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Then, it heard Mark say, "Come to think of it, your body doesn't have that refreshing powder. Is your awakened characteristic [Escape]?"

Characteristics? [Escape]?

What?

Caterpie leader was confused. It was the first time it had heard of the words characteristics and [escape].

Seeing the confusion of Caterpie leader, Mark explained: "The [Escape] characteristic should be a power related to crisis sensing, which can sense danger.

You don't know, probably because you have never paid attention to this kind of power.

According to the book, there is a small chance that an elf can awaken its second or third characteristics. With your strength, you must have awakened one of your characteristics. Since it is not [Scale Powder], then it must be [Escape].

My green caterpillar has awakened the [Scale Powder] attribute, and you two can learn from each other. You can also communicate with my Caterpie with your [Silk Spinning] skills."

Without continuing, Mark looked at Caterpie leader and said, "Let's stop here for now. Take me to see the pomelo fruit trees. If I don't know the number, I can't be sure how to use this kind of fruit."

If there are a lot of pomelo fruits, you can take them casually. But if there are not enough pomelo fruits, you need to make some plans when taking them...
