Pokémon: I am really a civilian trainer

Old Man Aaron stared and looked at Mark again and again, as if he wanted to see through Mark.

As a result, apart from finding that Mark's body was a little stronger, nothing was found to be different from before.

I wanted to ask Mark what was going on with these Caterpies, but Old Man Aaron was still angry at this time. He continued to ask as if he had forgiven Mark. Finally, he snorted again and said, "Don't stand there. Come with me and take these Caterpies to Caterpie breeding base. You are such a worrying brat."

Mark gave a wry smile.

It can be seen that Uncle Aaron is still very angry about his leaving in the middle of the night some time ago.

As for the reason for being angry, it was naturally because of her concern for him.

After all, if he didn't care about him, he would have just left. There was no need for Old Man Aaron to be so angry as he is now.

Thinking of this, Mark did not quibble. He silently led the nearby Caterpies and followed behind Old Man Aaron, intending to wait until Old Man Aaron's anger subsided before explaining.

Mark didn't notice that Old Man Aaron had been secretly observing him on the way, or to be more precise, observing him and Caterpie nearby.

As they continued to move along the path in the village, Old Man Aaron became more and more certain that Mark had mastered some method to command the swarm of Caterpies.

This also reminded Old Man Aaron of a legendary story that he had banned in Clear Creek Village.

Amsden, the Bug-type master trainer from over 200 years ago.

Amsden had done something similar to Mark back then. He conquered Caterpies in the forest with his charm and brought back hundreds of Caterpies at one time. He then participated in an Pokémon insect catching competition and won.

No one knows how Amsden did it, and whenever someone asks, he just smiles.

Old Man Aaron suspected that Amsden might have awakened special abilities related to his affinity with Pokémons, but at that time the Pokémon Alliance's determination of special abilities was not yet complete.

So Amsdens' abilities have always been a mystery.

Could it be that Mark has awakened a special ability similar to Maps?

In fact, are several families with the initial letter A in Clear Creek Village and is more or less related to Amsden. Of course, they are not direct descendants, but the relatives who are closer to Amsden moved out of the village when Amsden became famous.

But no matter what, Mark's genetic bloodline has a chance to acquire Amsdens' special abilities.

As for why he repeatedly ordered the villagers not to talk about the legend of Amsden.

The reason is simple. The Bug-type master trainer Amsden, one of the remnants of the old era, had caused some obstacles to Emperor Arthur's founding of the Kingdom of Summer.

The obstacles are neither big nor small.

Although the Kingdom of Summer has been established for more than 150 years, Old Man Aaron could not guarantee whether Clear Creek Village would be in trouble because of this matter, so he decisively banned anything related to Amsden.

Without thinking too much, Old Man Aaron continued to secretly observe Mark, only to find that Mark suddenly stopped in a daze, as if he had discovered something, and suddenly stared in one direction.

Old Man Aaron followed Mark's gaze and found nothing.

The place where Mark was staring was an ordinary vegetable garden on the edge of the village. There was nothing in the garden except some potatoes and a few sunflowers.

What on earth is Mark looking at?

In his sight, Mark, who had been stunned for a while, suddenly moved, walked towards the vegetable field step by step, stretched out his hands and touched the air, as if touching something.

Old Man Aaron wanted to ask, but after looking at Mark's expression and movements, he gave up disturbing him.

It was not until more than ten minutes later, when the two hundred Caterpies around were running around uncontrollably, that he patted Mark on the shoulder to interrupt them.

Old Man Aaron glared at Mark and said, "Why are you not hurrying on? Why don't you catch up with these Caterpies?"

Mark was stunned for a moment, nodded, and called on Caterpies around him to follow Old Man Aaron.

Just as he was heading to Caterpie breeding base, he suddenly felt a connection, a natural connection related to the Clear Creek Forest.

Although Clear Creek Village is located in the Clear Creek Forest, it does not belong to the Clear Creek Forest, and its [Clear Creek Power] has also been weakened.

And through his experience just now, he discovered a possibility of incorporating Clear Creek Village into Clear Creek Forest.

Although the hustle and bustle of human villages blocks the natural veins of the forest, they can still coexist harmoniously.

Leading Caterpies to follow Uncle Aaron, Mark thought as he walked. As he led Caterpies into the gate of the breeding base, he suddenly realized something.

"Uncle Aaron, I think I know why the quality of Caterpie silk thread at the breeding base has deteriorated."

"Um?"

Old Man Aaron looked puzzled, wondering why Mark suddenly changed the topic here.

Old Man Aaron frowned and said, "Do you know why the silk threads spit out by Caterpies have deteriorated? Don't talk about improving the feed or the living environment of Caterpies. I should have explained it to you last time. We have tried these many times and they don't work."

In fact, a few years ago, Old Man Aaron invited Dr. Locke to the breeding base to help check it out. As a result, Dr. Locke did nothing except helping to improve the feed ratio and increase the amount of silk spitted by the caterpillars slightly.

Mark pinched his chin lightly, looked towards the direction of Clear Creek Forest and said, "Uncle Aaron, do you think the Pokémons living in Clear Creek Forest will be blessed by the forest?"

?

Old Man Aaron was stunned again.

The similar expression and similar words made Old Man Aaron inexplicably recall a memory from the past.

At that time, in the courtyard of his home, his grandfather looked at the sky in the direction of Clear Creek Forest with a similar expression to Mark, and then suddenly said to him: "Aaron, do you think the Pokémons in Clear Creek Forest will be blessed by the forest?"

He could no longer remember his answer at that time, but he remembered that his grandfather rubbed his head with a smile on his face and said something to him.

It seemed to be saying that his elder brother and second sister were not suitable, and only he had a pure heart and some opportunities. He was also told that when he figured it out, he could go to the forest to look for something. It seemed to be saying something about the cave in the west.

What did his grandfather say at that time?

As far as I can remember, it seemed that a few months after this conversation, his grandfather passed away.

Could it be that...his grandfather had told him something and then made him forget it?

In the process of thinking and recalling, Mark continued to speak.

"Uncle Aaron, I think that Clear Creek Forest does have some kind of blessing on the Pokémons in the forest, but this blessing is very weak and difficult for the Pokémons to detect.

But this blessing does exist.

The quality of the silk thread spun by Caterpie is actually a feedback of the forest's blessing.

After living in the forest for a long time, Caterpies, with the blessing of the forest, have made their silk threads stronger and smoother, their expressions more lively, and the patterns on the wings of the evolved Bartha butterfly more delicate and beautiful.

Living in the breeding base, because they are out of the forest environment, the blessing of the forest gradually disappears, the quality of Caterpies' silk threads will deteriorate, their demeanor will become a little dull, and the pattern on the wings of the evolved butterfly will also become thicker and not so beautiful. "

Mark pinched his chin lightly, recalling the natural context he felt after entering the village.

He closed his eyes gently, danced slightly a few times, and then opened his eyes.

Mark pinched his chin and said, "As for the solution, Uncle Aaron, if you believe me, you can plant some trees in the village. Not randomly, but in specific locations, about fifty trees, no, maybe more than a hundred trees. You may also need to plant some trees outside the village. Well, you may also need to plant some grass plants..."
