Chapter 7: First Battle
When I got up the next day, I took a look at the weedle.
It seemed to have grown a little bit, and Evan thought he had seen it wrong.
I got out of bed and took the scale and weighed the weedle. I also measured its height.
When it was just hatched, the weedle was 0.27 meters tall and weighed 2.8kg.
Now it is 0.3 meters tall and weighs 3.1kg. It grows very fast.
The official height of the weedle is 0.3 meters and weighs 3.2kg.
I thought it would take two days to grow to this size, but it was shortened by two days.
Evan was a little confused but didn't investigate it. He just thought it was because the weedle had good talent and he fed it well.
After school in the afternoon, I came to the grove again.
I put down my backpack and stretched my body.
I started training with the weedle. The weedle felt energetic after growing taller.
At the beginning of the run, it ran in front of Evan, and Evan followed it slowly from behind.
After running three laps, the weedle was not as tired as yesterday, and it felt that there was still energy to spare.
Evan made a prompt decision to let the weedle run another lap.
After the weedle finished running, it began to feel a little tired.
He took out honey water for the weedle to drink and let it rest.
After resting, he let the weedle start skill training again.
The first is the "silk spinning" skill. Yesterday, the weedle could only use the silk spinning skill 10 times at most, within a range of 5m. Today, it has made great progress compared to yesterday. It can use the silk spinning skill 13 times, within a range of 6m.
Let the weedle rest, and then release the insect bite skill.
Yesterday, the power of the small wooden stick could only leave shallow teeth marks on the small wooden stick, but today it can almost penetrate the entire small wooden stick.
Finally, the poison needle skill, Evan let the weedle use the poison needle on a small tree.
In the process of using the poison needle again, the speed of the weedle's skill release has improved significantly compared to yesterday.
As soon as he heard the order, he immediately executed it.
The weedle quickly used the poison needle on the small tree, and only the place where the weedle used the poison needle was seen.
There was a hole about 3cm in size, and purple liquid was flowing around.
Soon the leaves on the tree withered, and the roots began to rot.
Evan nodded at the power of the poison needle and made a note in his heart.
Remember to buy more antidote spray, otherwise, it would be bad to poison other Pokémon in the future.
He recorded all the data he just got.
Then he let the weedle continue to use the poison needle on the tree to see how many times the weedle can use the poison needle.
The final result was 8 times, and no more. It was two times better than yesterday.
Overall, the progress of the weedle was beyond Evan's expectations.
It seemed that the original plan would not work.
He decided to train the weedle twice as much as yesterday.
Of course, Evan could not just watch from the side, and he would train with the weedle.
In his previous life, Evan practiced some fancy tricks and had never learned any real martial arts that could be used in actual combat.
He did learn free fighting for half a year, and now he had to pick it up and practice it again, maybe he would use it in the future.
Learning martial arts is also good, at least it can make your body especially balanced.
The limbs will not be stiff, and the reaction speed will also be improved.
One day passed quickly.
In the evening, Evan still gave the weedle some nutritious and delicious food as usual.
The weedle was in pain and happy.
After dinner, Evan massaged the weedle as usual. Soon the weedle fell asleep again like yesterday.
The next day, Evan added a hit rate training on the basis of yesterday's training.
He took out a bag of discarded bottle caps from others and took out a bottle cap from it.
He said to the weedle: "When I throw this bottle cap out later, you immediately use the silk to knock it down."
"Swish."
The weedle nodded.
Evan's speed was not fast when he threw it out for the first time. The weedle easily knocked the bottle cap down with the net formed by the silk.
The second time, Evan obviously began to speed up. The weedle could still knock it down.
Then Evan threw it out with all his strength, and this time the weedle did not knock it down.
Evan nodded and shouted to the weedle, "Continue."
Then he threw it out at the same speed, and he threw it several times without hitting it.
First of all, it might be that the weedle didn't spit silk fast enough, and then Evan's speed was too fast, and the weedle couldn't react.
He wrote all of this down and realized that they still needed more practice.
On the third day, Evan repeated the above training with the weedle.
After three days of training, Evan felt that the training intensity of the weedle was enough.
Evan felt that the weedle could start actual combat.
At night, at the desk, Evan carefully summarized the training data of the three days.
The weedle is now 0.35m tall and weighs 3.4kg, which is completely higher than the ordinary weedle.
And now the weedle can use the three skills of spinning, insect bite, and poison needle very skillfully.
Spinning can be used 16 times, insect bite can be used as long as the weedle has physical strength; poison needle can be used 10 times.
And let the weedle bump into trees for no reason to improve the body's defense ability.
Now he spends money like water every day, and has started to let the weedle start to eat Pokémon food, or the most expensive kind.
Now Evan has more than 1,000 yuan left.
In the future, he will spend more money, and he has to find a way to make some money.
Going out to do part-time jobs suitable for him will not make much money at all.
The best way to make money now is to go to the Changpan Forest to find some precious fruits and medicinal herbs.
It just so happens that I will take the weedle to practice tomorrow.
Time passed slowly, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye.
After Evan got up, he prepared everything and set off.
Evan first went to the store to buy two bottles of detoxification spray, which cost 400 yuan.
Evan looked at his shrinking wallet and felt a headache.
Comforting himself that he would be able to make money soon.
Evan revisited the old place again. On the way to Changpan Forest, Evan met his former insect catching friends.
They greeted each other enthusiastically and separated, and Evan continued to move forward.
Walking on a remote path, Evan soon encountered a wild caterpie.
Evan released the weedle.
"Come out, weedle!"
In a burst of white light, the weedle jumped out.
The caterpie on the opposite side was still a little confused, not knowing what Evan was going to do.
Evan: "Now, weedle, use Bug Bite."
Upon hearing the order, weedle immediately jumped over and bit the caterpie.
Before the caterpie could react, it was bitten and lost its fighting power.
"Well done, weedle," Evan praised the weedle.
The weedle was very happy that it won the first battle.
Its self-confidence soared immediately.
Evan walked to the caterpie that had lost its fighting power and sprayed the caterpie with the wound medicine from his backpack.
The caterpie recovered slowly. Evan took out the Pokémon food from his backpack, put it in the caterpie's mouth and said, "Eat it."
The caterpie ate it happily. Although it was beaten inexplicably, it was very happy to have something to eat.
