Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 105 The Burning Insect's Unparalleled Talent!

Raven's practical training was very effective.

After two weeks of continuous, grueling training, both Dratini and Snivy have made significant progress.

Especially the dwarf dragon.

Its recent high frequency of shedding, almost once a day, shows that it is growing at an extremely fast pace.

High-speed movement, slamming, Dragon Pulse...

In addition to the previously learned moves such as Tighten, Leer, Tornado, Electromagnetic Wave, and Dragon Tail, Dratini has now learned a total of eight moves.

Compared to Dratini, Snake grows much faster.

This nearly two-week grueling training allowed it to master four moves: Energy Ball, Parasitic Seed, Super Absorption, and Slam.

“Not bad… If this continues, the Green Vine Serpent will soon evolve into a Monarch Serpent,” Raven murmured.

He looked at the two Pokémon beside him and said to them, "Alright, let's rest for a day and continue the special training tomorrow."

"Woo~"

The Mini Dragon had no objections; it did whatever Raven told it to do.

The green vine snake remained noncommittal.

It looked at its own body, and even it was incredibly surprised by the growth it had experienced over the past two weeks.

In the past, it would have been unbelievable that it could grow so quickly in such a short period of time.

"Teng Teng..."

Raven noticed the slightly surprised expression on Green Vine Snake's face and couldn't help but laugh, "If you keep going, you'll become even stronger."

In an era where the trainer system is almost non-existent, even the most common special training methods of the future would be overwhelmingly superior in this era.

Not to mention that people in this era know very little about Pokémon, and have no idea what types are, what moves are, let alone the type relationships.

Upon hearing this, the Green Vine Snake's eyes filled with fighting spirit.

No Pokémon can resist the temptation to become stronger.

As he spoke, Raven turned his gaze to the Burning Bug beside him.

After spending this time together, the firefly's favorability towards him has increased from 80 to 100.

Is this the benefit of trainers personally incubating eggs? Raven couldn't help but wonder.

Pokémon are naturally drawn to the first person they see when they open their eyes.

Raven waved, and the Burning Bugs wagged their tails happily and crawled over like puppies.

It looked up at Raven with its clear and warm blue eyes, just like a golden retriever.

Raven patted the Burning Bug's head. Although it was a bug, it felt furry and incredibly soft to the touch.

Raven even had an urge to bury his face in its white fur.

However, compared to other Pokémon, Charizard is really big!
Pokémon grow very quickly; in just seven days, the Flamebug grew to nearly 1.2 meters.

Raven even sensed that, even as a larva, this Burning Worm's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Burning Worm.

After all, it is the descendant of a Pokémon whose strength has reached the legendary level.

"Burning Bug, shall I take you out to play for a while?" Raven asked.

"Meow!"

The burning insect immediately let out a cheer like a child.

“Great, let’s go then!” Raven smiled.

Both the Dratini and the Vine Slug were exhausted, so Raven decided to let them stay home and rest.

He took the burning insects with him and went out the door.

In early May, the temperature gradually rose, and the air became warmer. It wasn't hot, but rather a very comfortable temperature. Raven walked along the red brick road paved by the workers, and occasionally a gentle breeze from the open field would brush against his face, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.

Although it was already evening, the workers and hogs building the town had not yet finished their shifts, and they were still working hard between towns, their brows slick with sweat.

Although it was hard work, everyone had a smile on their face.

"Your Highness Raven!" Upon seeing Raven, everyone's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly called out.

"Take a break and don't overwork yourself," Raven replied with a smile.

"Yes!"

After passing through the unfinished town, Raven and the Burning Bugs arrived at a meadow with a relatively open view.

Raven, wanting to understand the strength of the Burning Bug, glanced at the moves it currently possessed and then said:

"Come on, Burning Bug, let me see what you're made of! Use Flamethrower!"

Pokémon's understanding of how to use moves is ingrained in their genes. Even if it's the first time a Flamethrower hears the name Raven, it can instantly understand what Raven means.

"Meow!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the five red tentacles on the head of the Burning Bug rapidly heated up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and terrifying fire-attribute energy gathered within them, eventually transforming into beams of scorching flames that simultaneously erupted from the five tentacles.

The five flames eventually merged into one even thicker and more terrifying flame, which then blasted forward.

The grass was instantly scorched black by the flames, leaving a clear trail on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Raven's pupils contracted.

The power of this Flamethrower is definitely not something a baby Pokémon should possess!

What happened? Is it because the Volcano passed on its essence to the Burning Worm?

So, what level of initial strength did this burning insect reach...?

Raven looked over in disbelief.

The burning insect was also looking at him, its eyes filled with expectation, as if it wanted praise.

"Well done, Burning Bug!" Raven praised generously.

"Meow!" The burning worm indeed became excited.

Next, Raven had the Burning Bug demonstrate several moves, including Dance of Fire, Charged Flame Strike, Flame Vortex, and Sunny Day.

Every time a Burning Worm is used, Raven has to praise it before it's willing to continue.

"Well done, Burning Bug." Raven patted Burning Bug's head, quite pleased with its performance.

If the burning insect receives further special training, it will be able to protect itself effectively.

As dusk settled, Raven sat there with Burning Bug for a while longer before returning home.

The maids brought out dinner, which consisted of bread and ham sandwiches, along with several servings of mashed potatoes, two grilled fish, several steamed eggs, and several glasses of tree sap.

The bread is made from flour milled from wheat grown within the territory and baked; it is soft, sweet, and very delicious.

The mashed potatoes are also made from potatoes harvested from the fields, and are sprinkled with a layer of black sesame seeds, giving them a very rich and mellow taste.

Raven took a few bites, then suddenly remembered something and ordered the maid to call Elif over.

Raven ate whatever he wanted, then let his Pokémon play at home before getting up and going to the Lord's Hall.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?" The old steward had finished dinner and was about to come and report when he heard Raven looking for him, so he hurried over.

"How many seeds did we buy from the traveling merchant last time?" Raven asked.

"This matter?" Elif thought it was something important, but upon hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly began to report.

"These are all good quality wheat and rice seeds, and in addition, there are quite a few vegetable seeds."
