Chapter 30 Simulation, Butterfly
[A Pokémon is being randomly simulated.]
【…】
The random result is: a green caterpillar.
[Starting the simulation for you...]
Caterpie, what a Pokémon to miss.
Li Shuwen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had turned into an insect.
"Momo~"
The caterpillar was in a thicket of bushes, which provided cover for it, making it relatively safe.

The Caterpie has three abilities: spin, ram, and bite.
It has never practiced ramming or insect biting, and with its weak body, who can it possibly beat?
The strategy this time can be summed up in one word: survival!
We must make good use of the silk-spinning skill.
Furthermore, Caterpie evolves at level 7, and he is already at level 6, so he must eat enough food before evolving.
The armored pupa cannot eat and must rely on the nutrients accumulated during its caterpillar stage to maintain its growth needs; otherwise, it will not have enough strength to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.
The green caterpillar cautiously poked its head out of the bushes to observe its surroundings.
This is a forest, and Li Shuwen was pleasantly surprised to find a maple tree among the surrounding trees!
It produces maple honey, which attracts a large number of Bug-type Pokémon to come and eat it, thus filling their stomachs.
Switching to Caterpie of the Bug type suddenly makes the difficulty much lower?
There isn't a single Bug-type Pokémon to be seen on this maple tree.
Could it be a trap?
Never mind!
People die for wealth, insects die for food.
Let's go take a look!
Li Shuwen did not climb directly to the maple tree, but instead climbed the nearest tree in the bushes to observe the situation.
After confirming that he did not see any bird-like Pokémon nearby, Li Shuwen climbed up the maple tree.
It lay on the tree trunk, carefully biting open a hole, and greedily sucked out the sweet maple nectar.
After sucking its fill, Li Shuwen looked at the wound he had bitten open and had an idea. He spat out some silkworm silk to wrap the maple tree's wound, preventing the fragrance of maple honey from escaping.
It climbed to the top of the maple tree and sprayed silken threads onto the surrounding trees to weave a web.
It creates the feeling that the Pokémon living here is Ariados.
Compared to Caterpie, which is at the mercy of birds, Ariados, which can capture small bird Pokémon, has a certain deterrent effect.
This allows the caterpillars to comfortably occupy the maple tree.
With plenty of maple nectar, the green caterpillars don't need to worry about consuming a little bit of silk.
Covering the surrounding trees with insect silk was quite tiring.
My stomach, which I had just filled, is starting to feel hungry again.
The green caterpillar climbed back onto the maple tree trunk and feasted on the maple nectar.
After bandaging its wound, the green caterpillar returned to its nest in the bush to sleep.
Night is falling; the predators are about to appear.
The bushes are more suitable for insects than the treetops where bird Pokémon tend to perch.
As night falls, the forest, which was quiet during the day, begins to come alive.
Birds chirped, insects hummed, and they were having a great time playing.
Judging from the noise, the battle is taking place quite far from where the caterpillars spawn.
Li Shuwen had no curiosity whatsoever and continued to sleep nestled in the bushes.
When I woke up, dawn was approaching, and Caterpie had reached level 7, but Caterpie did not evolve.
It was the darkest time of day, and Li Shuwen planned to indulge in another meal of maple honey.
Peeking out from the bushes, the wire mesh that was set up yesterday was intact.
There is no danger; we can proceed.
They absorb the nectar from the maple trees and then replenish the surrounding trees with silkworm silk, increasing the area's defenses.
Incidentally, this also allowed the Caterpie to get some training.
Two peaceful days passed. After feasting on maple nectar again, Li Shuwen returned to the bushes and felt like a level 8 green caterpillar, his body swollen.
Finally... evolution has begun.
With a flash of white light, he transformed into an armored pupa that was completely unable to move.
The level has also risen to level 9.
The only skills available are hardening and impact.
In fact, if Metapod is trained, it can also fight.
But that's the Hinoki Gym, Abi's Armored Chrysalis.
As a wild armored pupa, Li Shuwen could only lie down.
Fortunately, the maple honey allowed him to accumulate enough nutrients, waiting for his cells to transform.
From level 9, we progressed to level 10, 11, 12, and 13.
These monotonous days lasted for a full seven days.
Li Shuwen finally felt the swollen sensation in the body of the armored pupa return.
As the shell of the Metapod cracked open, a dense white light was released from it.
A beautiful butterfly fluttered out of its shell and flew away.
"Li~~"
Bad Butterfly, come on!
Six new skills have been added: Wind, Ultrasonic, Sleep Powder, Paralysis Powder, Poison Powder, and Telekinesis!
The abilities of spinning silk and biting insects during the Caterpie stage are also restored.
The level 14 Butterfree is still weak.
Li Shuwen's tactics remain unchanged!
Every day, they expand the forest area covered by the silk net by spinning silk.
When it's hungry, it drinks maple nectar; when it's tired, it sleeps in the nest it weaves from silk in the tops of maple trees.
But maple honey production is decreasing, and even the maple leaves are starting to wilt.
Li Shuwen tried the sap from other trees, but found it not only unpalatable but also lacking in nutritional value.
He was forced to stop inhaling the already scarred maple leaves.
They took flight, heading in a direction far from the nightly struggles between insects and birds, in search of new food sources.
Fortunately, Li Shuwen found another maple tree.
Just as he was about to fly over and suck the maple nectar, a string of poisonous needles fell from the treetop.
The Butterfly spun around, dodging the poisonous needles, and then flapped its wings, blowing a shower of paralyzing powder towards the maple tree.
A large bee, brandishing its two stingers, charged out.
It was hit by the paralyzing powder and fell stiffly to the ground.
Butterfree immediately used its psychic powers to frantically invade Beedrill's body.
Weedle, Kabuto, and Beedrill are all very united Pokémon.
If there is one beedrill, then there will be a swarm of beedrills.
If you send a Beedrill away, it will bring back more Beedrill to kill Butterfree.
The law of the jungle dictates that it's a matter of life and death.
After killing Beedrill, Butterfree leveled up from level 14 to level 16, and then perched on a maple tree to feast on maple nectar.
He spun silk to wrap around the beetle, lured it to the vicinity of his territory, and ate it for dinner.
Compared to maple honey, bee honeybees clearly provide all the nutrients that giant bees need to grow.
After eating Beedrill, Butterfree reaches level 17.
The next day, Butterfree cautiously approached Beedrill's maple tree again.
Here, another bee appeared to collect maple honey.
The butterfly gently blows the sleeping powder directly from behind the treetops.
The bee wobbled and fell to the ground.
Use Psychic to kill Beedrill again, drink plenty of maple nectar, bring back Beedrill, and Butterfree will level up to level 19.
In the days that followed, Butterfly became path-dependent, visiting that maple tree every day.
Sometimes, when there are no bees, he will stay in the maple tree to absorb maple honey for a couple of meals before going home in the evening.
In total, Butterfree ate 13 Beedrill.
Thanks to Beedrill, Butterfree has also mastered the Psychic-type move Psychic Beam.
For three consecutive days, no more bee horns appeared, and the maple honey production dropped drastically. It was necessary to stop feeding on the maple trees for a period of time and wait for them to recover.
The level 26 Butterfree continues its search for food and prey.
Through constant practice, Butterfree has mastered the art of using air blades, starting with the wind.
With three skills—Powder, Psychic Beam, and Air Slash—Butterfly already possesses a certain level of self-defense capabilities.
Not long after continuing forward, Butterfree heard a familiar fuzzy call.
Flying over, I saw that it was a vicious bee chasing two poor caterpillars.
Butterfree can tolerate this? He just learned the Air Blade technique!
A barrage of wind blades rained down on Beedrill.
