Elf: Release? Not possible.

Xiaozhi once again found a tree stump and let the Caterpillar use his special move of spinning silk to tie it and Magikarp together, and continued to let Magikarp swim with weights.

Then Xiaozhi arranged a training plan for Caterpillar, but the main focus was still on Pikachu. His Iron Tail was almost completed, and Xiaozhi wanted to continue training.

Neither Caterpillar nor Magikarp are currently suitable for challenging the Nibe Gym, and Pikachu's Iron Tail will be the key.

"Okay, Pikachu, remember how you felt this morning? Keep this feeling and do it again!" After arranging training programs for Magikarp and Caterpillar, Xiaozhi began to guide Pikachu's training again.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu didn't waste any time after hearing the sound. Following Xiaozhi's instructions in the morning and his body's muscle memory, he rushed forward, jumped high, and rushed towards a big tree in front of him again.

"Pi...ka!!!"

Pikachu seemed to have adapted to this state. When he jumped into the air, his tail was exercised and its strength increased. When he tried again this time, his tail glowed.

But it was just a simple white light, and it had not yet shown the metallic luster of Iron Tail.

"Very good!!" Although it is not complete yet, it seems to be a great improvement. The moment I see the light, I also see hope.

Pikachu fell from the sky and landed towards the big tree in front of it, but just before its tail was about to touch the tree, the light on its tail suddenly disappeared, and Pikachu itself was startled.

The tail landed on the tree and bounced back again. Seeing this, Xiaozhi quickly ran up and caught it.

"Are you okay?" Holding Pikachu, Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Pika..." Pikachu shook his head slightly, but his ears drooped down, looking a little disappointed. He thought he was going to succeed.

"It's okay, you've made great progress. Don't be discouraged, keep working hard!" Xiaozhi looked at the lost Pikachu and spoke again to comfort him.

To be honest, it was already faster than he expected. Besides, cultivation was a long and arduous process. The only thing he could do was to encourage them.

"Pikapi!" Pikachu quickly perked up after hearing the voice and jumped out of Xiaozhi's arms again.

I tried again, and there were constant sounds coming from the jungle. It was a night like this, and especially in the gloomy woods, it was really scary to hear such sounds from time to time.

Swish…

"Try again... huh?" As he was trying, he heard a sound coming from the bushes around him. He subconsciously turned his head and looked around, but it was pitch black and there was nothing there.

"Pika?" Pikachu was waiting for Xiaozhi's order. Seeing that Xiaozhi didn't speak for a long time, he turned his head in confusion.

"Pikachu, did you hear anything?" Xiaozhi asked when he saw this.

This is not the first time that he has felt like he is being watched. Although he does not have super powers or anything like that, Xiaozhi has been training himself to enhance that unknown power over the years.

This power also enhanced his senses. It might have been because he was too nervous once or twice, but three times is a sure thing, so this time it shouldn't be a coincidence.

"Pika?" Pikachu found it a bit strange, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Pikachu's hearing is very good, but he had been concentrating on training without being distracted by other things.

Whoosh whoosh swoosh!!!

Just as Xiaozhi was looking around, a gust of evening breeze suddenly blew, and the leaves around were moving in the wind. Pikachu couldn't hear anything, and Xiaozhi couldn't feel anything either.

And he didn't see anything when he looked around. Xiaozhi was not sure if it was Team Rocket, but if it was Team Rocket, there was actually nothing to worry about.

"Never mind, it should be a Pokémon from the wind or the forest! Let's continue."

"Pika!" Pikachu didn't hesitate and continued training.

Xiaozhi worked hard until late at night. He called back the Caterpillar and waited by the river for the Magikarp to swim back. Then he returned to the camp. When he came back, Xiaoxia had not rested yet. She was sitting alone in front of the campfire with her chin supported by her hand.

He dozed off from time to time and felt like he would fall to the ground at any moment from being too sleepy. Seeing this, Xiaozhi walked over.

"It's dangerous to doze off in front of the fire!" Xiaozhi walked forward and reminded them.

"Ah!! That... I..." She wanted to say that when she fell asleep in the forest, she was afraid that some bug-type Pokémon would approach her at any time. Even though she was in a tent, she was still afraid, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, especially since the Caterpillar was still on Satoshi's shoulder.

"Go to bed early! You have to get up early tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Xiaozhi smiled and said nothing more. He took Pikachu and Caterpillar into the tent.

Xiaoxia was also relieved, but for some reason, she felt as if Xiaozhi could guess what was on his mind.

Chapter 35: Pidgeot Attack

After taking turns entering the tent and changing into pajamas, they crawled into their sleeping bags. Pikachu and Caterpillar leaned against Xiaozhi's side.

The Magikarp was in the river outside. It would be better for them to rest in the water, so Xiaozhi did not take it back.

After a night of training, both the Pokémon and Ash were very tired, and soon Ash fell into a deep sleep.

Xiaoxia was almost falling asleep while waiting, and she fell asleep not long after Xiaozhi did.

early morning

"what!!!!!"

The next morning, because they practiced too late the night before, Xiaozhi and Pikachu were still sleeping soundly, when they suddenly heard a scream, as if the sky was falling, and Xiaozhi and Pikachu were immediately awakened by the fright.

"Hmm?? W-what happened??"

Still a little confused, Xiaozhi rubbed his eyes and looked to the side, only to see Xiaoxia huddled in the corner of the tent, and Caterpillar had also woken up, but now he was hanging his head and looked a little lost.

"Why... why is the caterpillar sleeping next to me?" Xiaoxia asked with fear in her tone. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the caterpillar sleeping in front of her.

She listened to Xiaozhi's words and tried to accept them, but not so quickly. This was so sudden that it scared her.

"Uh... maybe he fell asleep and rolled over! Your reaction is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

The tent is so small, there is nothing we can do about it, but it's something you have to get used to slowly. If it is always folded up, Xiaoxia will find it hard to adapt.

"I'm not exaggerating. I was really scared, okay?"

"Okay, okay! Sorry! Then I'll take Caterpillar out first." Xiaozhi didn't say much. Considering Xiaoxia's personality, this reaction was considered good.

If it were my previous personality, I would definitely say I hate it without any hesitation.

Xiaozhi carried the lost Caterpillar out of the tent. Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Although she was really scared, after listening to Xiaozhi's words and seeing the lost look of the Caterpillar, she couldn't help but wonder if she was really exaggerating.

Pikachu was no longer sleepy, so Xiaozhi carried the Caterpillar outside and put it on the ground. Seeing that it still looked lost, he couldn't help but touch its head.

"It's okay, Xiaoxia didn't mean it. She will accept you slowly."

Fluffy~~~

The caterpillar listened to what Xiaozhi said, slowly recovered his spirit, and responded with squinted eyes. Xiaozhi touched his head again. It was much easier to come up with ideas with Pokémon than with humans.

Because they are all very simple and there is not so much intrigue.

Xiaoxia also walked out of the tent and heard what Xiaozhi said just now. She felt even more guilty, but didn't know what to say.

Xiaozhi didn't say much. He went into the tent, took out his toiletries and went to the river to wash. The Magikarp also popped its head out of the water, and when it saw Xiaozhi, its eyes turned into crescents and it blew bubbles to greet him.

"Good morning, Magikarp!" Xiaozhi also greeted and started brushing his teeth. Xiaoxia also came to Xiaozhi and washed her face and brushed her teeth together.

call! ! ! !

While he was still brushing his teeth, he suddenly heard a noise and saw the sound of air flow. Xiaozhi paused slightly and looked up subconsciously.

I saw a figure in the air swooping down towards the camp. It was over 1 meter tall and its wings spread out gave people the feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

If you look closely, you can see clear brown feathers on the back, while the chest, face and inside of the wings are goose yellow.

There are three long pink feathers on the top of the head extending to the back of the head. The area around the eyes is black like a tattoo, the pupils are black, and the eyes are sharp.

It has a pair of three-clawed sharp claws and a tail with red and yellow tail feathers. It dives very quickly, and when its sharp eyes fall, they lock onto the caterpillar.

"Pipibi bird?"

Xiaozhi frowned slightly when he saw this. Pidgeot is the evolved form of Pidgeot, and Pidgeot is not like Pidgeot. After Pidgeot evolves, Pidgeot's personality will change.

Not as bad as the Spearow, but with increased flying ability and speed, their territory can expand to 60 miles, and they will fiercely protect their territory.

At the same time, their hunting habits will also change. They are omnivorous animals. Compared with Bobo who looks for fruits, Pidgeot will take the initiative to catch prey.

In the anime, we have never seen scenes of Pokémon preying on other Pokémon, but it is real in nature and it is not surprising for birds to attack insects.

"Danger!" Xiaoxia shouted subconsciously.

"Pika!!" Pikachu also shouted in the direction of Caterpillar.

But the Caterpillar was very slow. Although it reacted immediately, it was obviously faster than the Bibi Bird. When the Bibi Bird fell, the Caterpillar just managed to avoid it.

However, it was still blown away by the airflow created by the flying Pidgeot, and fell to the ground nearby, rolling a few times on the ground.

"Puff!" Upon seeing this, Xiaozhi quickly spat out the toothpaste in his mouth and ran over there. Xiaoxia also simply rinsed her mouth and ran over there.

"Pika!!" Pikachu jumped to the side of the Caterpillar, assumed a combat stance, looked at the Pidgeot that was circling in the air and changing direction, ready to attack again, and the electric sacs on its cheeks emitted electricity, ready to attack at any time.

"Pikachu, don't interfere. This is Caterpillar's battle." Xiaozhi came behind Caterpillar and prepared to direct the battle. Seeing Pikachu was about to intervene, he stopped Pikachu and spoke.

"Pika?" Pikachu was slightly stunned when he heard the voice, and looked at the Caterpillar with some worry.

"Ash, Caterpillar is a Bug-type, Pidgeot is a Flying-type, and Pidgeot is the evolved form of Pidgeot. Caterpillar is no match for it." Misty looked at this scene. She didn't know why, although she didn't like it, she couldn't help but worry.

"No... Nothing is absolute. Attributes are just an excuse for weak trainers. Any Pokémon can shine in its own way. I will prove it to you now."

Xiaozhi shook his head seriously. This was a good opportunity. He wanted to prove to Xiaoxia that even Bug-type Pokémon had unique features that were worth paying attention to.

"Green Caterpillar, do you believe me?"

Chapter 36 Defeat Pidgeot

Fluffy~~~

The Caterpillar stood up and shook his head. After hearing what Xiaozhi said, he looked up at Xiaozhi. He was a little afraid at first, but when he looked into Xiaozhi's eyes, he was gradually infected.

Fluffy!!

The Caterpillar's eyes also became determined, and Xiaozhi smiled knowingly when he saw this.

"very good!"

"Really? You just know how to show off. I won't care if I get hurt... Here I come!" Xiaoxia couldn't help but laugh as she watched this scene. She wanted to say that she didn't care if I got hurt, but her body was still very honest. When she saw the Pidgeot in the sky, she couldn't help but shouting.

"Here you go, don't be afraid, use the spinning thread as I taught you last night!"

Upon hearing the sound, Xiaozhi looked up at the sky. Pidgeot had already changed direction in the air and dived towards the ground. It was flashing with silver light and its speed suddenly increased. Xiaozhi was very familiar with this move and immediately gave an order to Caterpillar.

After hearing the sound, Caterpillar used silk attack according to Xiaozhi's instructions, but its target was not Pidgeot.

Because such attacks were too easy for Pidgeot to dodge, Caterpillar listened to Xiaozhi's instructions and recalled yesterday's training.

He turned his head and released a silk thread from his mouth towards the jungle. Seeing this, Misty paused slightly, a little confused as to why Xiaozhi didn't attack Pidgeot.

Phew! !

Xiaoxia didn't have time to wonder. In a moment, the silk thread spit out by the caterpillar stuck to a tree next to it, and then the caterpillar used the silk thread to pull its body away.

The Pidgeot flew by with a whoosh, and the Caterpillar just happened to pull its body towards the big tree, and swung onto the trunk. The Pidgeot missed the attack, and there seemed to be anger in its sharp eyes.

Changing direction and continuing to move towards the Caterpillar, Xiaozhi calmly approached the Caterpillar and shouted.

"Keep using Spin!!"

The caterpillar nodded upon hearing the sound, and continued to use silk to spit it onto the next tree. It swung its body over again, constantly using the swinging method to avoid the attack of the Pidgeot.

"What on earth is Xiaozhi trying to do? Attacks like spinning silk don't do any damage, and it's already hard enough just to dodge Pidgeot's attacks. How do we defeat it?"

Looking at this scene, Xiaoxia was a little anxious. Caterpillar was a very weak Pokémon and didn't know many special moves. Silk spinning was one of them, but it did not cause any damage and could only be used to entangle the opponent and slow down the opponent.

Moreover, now he was already overwhelmed just by trying to dodge the attacks of the Pidgeot, and had no chance to fight back at all.

"Keep going, spit out more silk threads!!" Xiaozhi didn't know what Xiaoxia was thinking, and he didn't have time to pay attention to her now.

Fluffy~~~

The Caterpillar followed Xiaozhi's orders seriously and continued to use silk spinning, increasing the intensity of the spinning. It did not spin silk one by one, but spit out three or four silk threads at a time and used continuous swings to dodge.

"Ash can't defeat Pidgeot just by spinning. Let Pikachu go! Electric-type restrains Flying-type, so Pikachu has a better chance of winning."

"No, look carefully." Xiaozhi shook his head seriously after hearing the voice, looking sharply at the person in front of him who spoke faintly.

"Huh?" Xiaoxia was a little confused when she heard the voice. She looked forward again and her pupils suddenly shrank.

“This… This is!!!”

At this time, in the area where the caterpillars were moving, as the caterpillars continued to spin silk, the silk threads swayed back and forth between the trees, and the silk threads were entangled between the trees.

It was only then that Xiaoxia discovered that the area where the Caterpillar moved was not a random hiding area, but it moved in a circular range.
