Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Old Man Aaron’s Identity, the Grandson of the King of Heaven
"Planting trees?"
Old man Aaron looked shocked.
If Mark didn't mention planting trees, he might still be skeptical about what Mark said, but when it comes to planting trees, his memories have been brought back again.
Because his grandfather once took him to plant some trees and flowers in the village.
In a trance, Old Man Aaron remembered something again.
All along, his impression of his grandfather was basically that he possessed a powerful fighting-type Pokémon, but he ignored what his grandfather did in his daily life.
Yes, ever since he could remember, his grandfather had always been loved by wild Pokémons. There was even an incident where a wild Pokémon fell into his grandfather's palm and was teased by his grandfather.
So, Mark gained the same power as his grandfather?
No, it's not just Mark.
Could it be that Maps, the master trainer of the insect type two hundred years ago, his grandfather, and Mark at this moment, have obtained the same power, the same power related to the forest?
Mark looked at Uncle Aaron's astonished expression and glanced around.
The breeder Cody had already left. Apart from Caterpies, there were only him and Old Man Aaron's two nearby.
Thinking back to all the help Uncle Aaron had given him, Mark did not hesitate any further.
He will not expose the time traveler plug-in on the Spirit Master panel, but he can tell Uncle Aaron about the [Power of Clear Creek] that he mastered not long ago.
Thinking of this, Mark stretched out his fingers and condensed a touch of emerald green fluorescence.
Mark said: "Uncle Aaron, I know that what I just said may be difficult for you to understand, but the blessing of the forest really exists. This green fluorescence on my finger is the embodiment of the blessing of the forest, and it has some therapeutic effects.
By the way, if you want, this kind of power can be acquired later. While I was acquiring this power, I also learned a kind of dance.
If you practice this dance in a forest, you should theoretically be able to receive the blessing of the forest, but the effect won't be as strong as mine.
In addition, due to individual differences, the forest blessing you received may be slightly different from my power..."
Watching the emerald green fluorescence of Mark's fingers, Old Man Aaron's already widened eyes further.
Not surprised by the supernatural power Mark used.
Instead, he suddenly remembered that his grandfather had used a similar power, but he was too young at the time, so many things were vague in his memory.
In his memory, the green fluorescence on his grandfather's palm was slightly white, while the green fluorescence on Mark's fingertips appeared more emerald green.
Old Man Aaron was still recalling, when he suddenly realized something and remembered what Mark had just said.
Old Man Aaron mechanically turned his head towards Mark, his body trembling slightly as he said, "You...you just now...you just now...seemed to say that I can also learn this kind of power?"
Can this power be taught to others?
His grandfather was one of the thirteen Knights of the Round Table who had followed King Arthur, and a top-level fighting trainer.
Even his grandfather couldn't do it, but Mark, this troublesome brat, could do it?
And he just said it to him so easily?
How is this possible?
Old man Aaron was full of disbelief, but he heard a positive answer from Mark.
And that brat Mark analyzed it for him in a very serious manner, with all his words in place.
Mark pinched his chin lightly and said, "Yes, as long as you can persist, you should be able to learn it.
If you want to learn this power, I think the initial threshold should be character and personality. You must reach a point of compatibility with the forest in some aspects, and I think your character and personality are completely acceptable.
I can then take you to practice dancing in the Clear Creek Forest. With my assistance and correction, your learning progress should be guaranteed.
But you are old after all. If you do this kind of dance, even if you eat oranges every day, it may be difficult for you to bear it, so it may take a little longer.
If you practice for an hour every day, you should be able to feel this power in about six to eighteen months and be able to give some guidance..."
Old Man Aaron asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Half a year to a year and a half?"
Mark nodded: "I don't know what your comprehension ability is, so I estimated a rough time. If your comprehension ability is very strong, the time required will be relatively less, otherwise it will take more time..."
Mark wanted to continue explaining, but was suddenly stopped by Old Man Aaron, who seemed to realize something.
Old Man Aaron looked around cautiously and said, "Stop talking. Can you just talk about these things so casually? And your fingers, why don't you put away the natural power on them!"
"Uncle Aaron, don't worry. There shouldn't be anything else around here except Caterpies."
As Mark spoke, he took out the small electric motor hiding on his back. When the latter saw that he and Old Man Aaron were getting closer, his body trembled more and more violently, and he was finally frightened faint. He was then put into the Poké Ball by Mark.
"Uncle Aaron, this Wimpod is not only timid, but also very sensitive to the outside world. If a stranger or Pokémon approaches, its body will definitely tremble violently."
Old Man Aaron looked at Mark deeply, frowned and said, "Don't trust the Pokémons too much. Be as careful as possible in everything. Let's settle these Caterpies first. Come back with me and talk about these things!"
Old Man Aaron acted quickly. He took Mark to arrange Caterpies in a fence, and then quickly took Mark home.
Mark thought that Old Man Aaron would take him to talk in the house, but he found that Old Man Aaron touched a secret switch, opened a tunnel in the kitchen, and took Mark into a basement of nearly 200 square meters.
Different from the primitive simplicity of Clear Creek Village, this basement is full of technology. The walls of the basement are made of silver alloy material. As soon as you enter the basement, the lights above will light up automatically.
On the side of the alloy door, Mark saw a long metal table supported by the wall. On it was a pile of stones of different colors, which seemed to be evolution stones. There seemed to be at least a hundred of them.
Next to the evolution stone, Mark also saw a yellow armband with a yellow lightning logo printed on it. He didn't know what it was.
Didn't look at the armband for too long.
Mark shifted his gaze to two dusty machines. One of them looked like a molecular cooking machine, or an energy (Poké) cube manufacturing machine that could extract nutrients from tree fruits and combine them to form energy (Poké) cubes. Mark didn't recognize the other one. There was no information about this machine in the textbooks he had read.
Seeing Mark's confusion, Old Man Aaron introduced: "This is an energy cube maker, which can make energy cubes with tree fruits; the other is a tree fruit component analyzer, which can be used to measure the nutrients in tree fruits. However, according to Dr. Locke, in addition to fruits, ordinary plants can also be tested.
They were brought here by Dr. Locke seven years ago. Their disadvantage is that they consume too much electricity, so I have basically never activated them in these years. However, the Pokémon Center was recently established, and the Alliance built a substation west of the village. Maybe I can connect a cable to it in a while..."
Old Man Aaron thought of something, glanced at Mark with a resentful look, and threw a black disk on the table to Mark.
Mark took the disk and asked in confusion: "Is this... a move learning device?"
Not a [grid] learner.
