"Bulbasaur!!"
Kenji got up two or three steps running to Bulbasaur's side.
Natsu also immediately ran into Weedle and Bulbasaur Play Rough.
Bulbasaur fell to the ground with his eyes closed, while Weedle stared at Bulbasaur on the ground blankly, slightly overwhelmed.
"What is wrong?" Natsu asked in a deep voice.
"Woo." Weedle saw that Natsu had come, swayed his body trying to explain something, but couldn't express it clearly.
"Dan Na."
Bulbasaur opened his eyes, and after the initial pain had subsided.
Kenji and Natsu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Bulbasaur recovering quickly.
"What just happened?"
Weedle and Bulbasaur looked at each other, but there was no gap between the two Pokémon because of what had just happened.
"Dan Na!"
"Woo!"
Then the two Pokémon act to Natsu and Kenji about what just happened.
Only just.
While Weedle and Bulbasaur were playing with each other, Bulbasaur took the Vine Whip out of his mouth and bit into it to show Weedle the toughness of his Vine Whip.
Still.
And Weedle was also very curious about the Bulbasaur's Vine Whip that could grow from his body.
So he wanted to try it too, and he took a bite.
Of course Bulbasaur didn't care about this. After all, he was very confident in the durability of his Vine Whip.
But who knows, when Weedle was biting the Vine Whip Bulbasaur, he suddenly remembered the image and plot of Natsu training him to bite the tree trunk, and the energy in his body was suddenly aroused.
Maybe because of the accumulated training experience, or because Weedle ate a Pokéblock today, which happened to stimulate his potential.
Weedle suddenly noticed Bug Type's move, Bug Bite.
The results are predictable.
Vine Whip Bulbasaur received a heavy smack in Weedle's mouth.
Natsu and Kenji were dumbfounded after seeing two Pokémon appear and a green halo shone in Weedle's open mouth.
Bug Bite is a skill that can be learned once Weedle reaches level 9 in the game, but Normal Weedle who reaches level 7 will evolve into Kakuna, and can only be learned by preventing Weedle's evolution. Exist or in game, only through Technical Machine learning.
But it's a game. In the real world, there was clearly no concept of leveling up and automatic Abilities learning, and there was no such thing as a Technical Machine. If you want to learn a move, only when the Pokémon meets a certain amount of time. You can understand, or through targeted continuous training, practice perfect until you learn to understand.
Weedle had been training for some time under Natsu's arrangement, but according to his estimation, even if there was a Pokéblock Help, it would take at least a week or so to learn, but he didn't expect Weedle to suddenly notice it while playing with Bulbusaur.
It could be seen that although Natsu's Weedle looked ordinary in all aspects, it should have been better in terms of comprehension.
Of course, Natsu's early training and insight also played a key role.
But there was no denying that Weedle might have a knack for this.
"Woo" Weedle stared blankly at Natsu, still unaware of what was going on, and even blaming himself for hurting Bulbasaur.
It wasn't until Natsu picked him that he finally recovered.
"This is what the book says, do Pokémon understand moves?" Kenji muttered.
Kenji wasn't angry. It's normal for Pokémon to play with each other and inadvertently refrain from moving. It was normal for a slight friction, and Bulbasaur was just in pain, unharmed.
But seeing Weedle comprehend movement while playing was a bit beyond his comprehension.
Just now he saw Natsu training with Weedle on the Bug Bite moves.
Why did Weedle suddenly notice it.
"Don't be nervous, you have learned a new step, which means that our training has achieved good results, and your efforts have paid off." Natsu touched Weedle's back and comforted him.
This wasn't just a reward for Weedle's hard work, it was a testament to the way he trained.
It gave him more confidence that he could train and develop Weedle in his own way.
"Woo!"
Weedle's little eyes lit up.
It turns out that this is the feeling of understanding movement, which is very magical and extraordinary.
The overall feeling is very good.
"Okay, go and apologize to Bulbasaur, and we will hold a special training session on Bug Bite moves, so that you can use them flexibly in battle as soon as possible." Natsu put Weedle back on the ground.
This insight once again strengthened his confidence.
No trash Pokemon, only trash Trainers, if Weedle can maintain this state of understanding, it may not be very obvious in the Weedle stage, but after evolving into Beedrill, he is confident to cultivate A strong finisher in the battle for the harvest.
"Wooo!!" Weedle nodded obediently, crawled over to Bulbasaur, and apologized emphatically.
And Bulbasaur is definitely not a clever Pokémon, and understands that.
Seeing the two Pokémon happily playing again, Natsu laughed.
This awareness is very important to him.
Moreover Kenji finally recovered at this time, looked at Weedle who was playing with Bulbasaur, then looked at the more confident Natsu beside him.
"Is this Trainer?"
For Natsu, he was absolutely sure this time.
Understanding a Pokémon's moves was the first time he'd seen it, and it had a very different meaning from the simple descriptions in books.
Being able to confidently use Weedle, a Pokemon invisible to Trainers, as a Starter Pokemon, and cultivate and train well, which is similar to Trainer having powerful Pokemon and lots of resources from the start, gives him a completely different feel.
"Did you have something to say just now?" asked Natsu.
The two of them had just been in the middle of a conversation, when they were interrupted by Growl hurting Bulbasaur.
Hearing his question, Kenji suddenly reacted with a slightly complicated expression, and said, "Next week our school will be having an adventure to the dense forest outside Saffron City. For security reasons, the school allowed us to invite Coach with us, so I…"
"You want to invite me?" Natsu's eyes flickered.
It's not that the club doesn't have this service, but the sparring out prices are higher.
"Yes." Kenji nodded.
He hesitated a little earlier, but those doubts disappeared when Weedle understood Bug Bite.
"Why not invite a stronger Trainer? Wouldn't it be safer?" Natsu is well aware of his own strength.
"The school determined that to allow us to have more contact with wild situations and contact with wild Pokémon, we cannot invite Trainers who are too strong and have more than 2 Pokémon to accompany us." Kenji explained the way.
He then added: "Don't worry, Wild Pokémon in the dense forest aren't strong, and the school will be cleaning it one last time before our event, just for the purpose of Let's get a better understanding of Pokémon as a group of sophomores new to Pokémon, and maybe even a fight won't necessarily happen."
Is it just giving money?
And there's still a week.
Natsu thought about it for a while, either from the point of view of money or Weedle's training, he had no reason to refuse.
"Yes, I promise you."
What he needed most now was money.
Today, he spent all his salary up front at once, and seeing the additional role of Pokéblock for Weedle, he needed more money.
It just so happens that out-of-office searches make money faster.
"Then I will come to you when the time comes." Kenji was a little excited.
For students like him, there is nothing more fun and exciting than adventure.
"Okay."
