7 Chapter 7 The Boss of the Garlic (rewrite)
...
Natsu went to finance to advance 40% of his basic salary.
With 3,300 dollars in his hand, he suddenly felt alive again.
Come to the exclusive room of the club staff with the number plate.
Not much space.
But it has a bed, a desk, and even a separate toilet.
He has to sigh again that Silph Co. has a lot of money. Actually, each sparring has his own exclusive room, and the salary of sparring is quite considerable. It is definitely a top-notch existence in the same industry.
Weedle jumped up curiously when he saw the bed, and was instantly conquered by the soft bed.
Bounced happily on the bed, forgetting the miserable Rattata from the battle just now.
Natsu smiled as he looked at his happy appearance, and sat on the chair beside the desk.
'You can't let go of your nervousness just because you've found a job.'
Weedle has an extremely short developmental cycle, and once her evolved, Natsu would have to risk losing his job.
But he couldn't deliberately limit Weedle's growth for the sake of work, which was contrary to the reason he was looking for a job.
He is there to make Weedle grow better and bring out its greatest potential.
"So Weedle still has to maintain his original growth rate, and try to tap the potential of its Weedle form as much as possible before that."
Take out a piece of paper.
Natsu starts writing on paper what needs to be noted and prepared during this time.
1. Buy Pokémon food suitable for Weedle.
2. Buy books about Bug Type Pokémon and Poison Type Pokémon to learn and cultivate knowledge.
3. Develop Weedle's toxins.
4. Develop a detailed training plan.
5. ....
List one by one, short-term plans and programs.
After Weedle evolves, it is impossible for him to conquer another Pokémon. His own resources are few, and training Weedle is stretched, let alone training a second Pokémon.
Natsu guesses that he won't try to capture a second Pokémon until Weedle evolves into Beedrill and has enough combat power.
"Now that the housing problem has been solved, it can save a lot of money."
Once again, he sighed at Silph Co.'s wealth.
"According to the club's regulations, when no members are using the training equipment, employees can use the training equipment at will, and the benefits are really good."
And the working hours are also very humane As long as there is no member calling, it is considered a rest time.
But if there are members who have ordered, even in Rest, they should get up immediately.
Stayed in the room for a while.
Suddenly.
The notifier on the wall sounded.
"Work number 0451, training ground No. 9, arrive within 3 minutes." Natsu can hear Anna's voice.
"Okay," said while holding down the answer key.
Natsu picked up Weedle, who was still nostalgic on the soft bed, and hurriedly ran towards the training ground No. 9.
Silver Pokémon vs. the club is huge.
Fortunately, the sparring room is not far from the training ground.
As soon as he entered, he saw a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old fat man with three or four Poké Balls in his pocket, looking like "I'm rich".
Seeing Natsu running in with Weedle in his arms, he pouted his lips disdainfully, "Hey, Weedle, right? Let's practice your hands first, and then replace him later."
It seems he want to find a sense of superiority in Weedle.
"Remember, my name is Kenji, and I am the one who will become the champion of Kanto Region in the future! The moment you are my sparring partner will be the highest honor in your life."
Natsu: "."
'I think you shouldn't be called Kenji, you should be called Chunji.' Natsu couldn't help complaining, but he didn't make a sound.
Put Weedle down on the ground and whisper, "Don't be nervous, I'll follow my orders later."
"Woo!"
Weedle nods.
After a battle, its confidence has clearly built up.
Kenji, a junior in middle school, hesitated about who to send first. After thinking for a while, he threw one of them.
"Just you!"
As the red light of the Poké Ball flashed, an emerald green Pokémon appeared in the field.
The skin is blue-green with dark green markings, similar to toads in appearance, with bright red eyes, and its most distinctive feature is the bulb-like seeds on the back.
This familiar image and appearance, Bulbasaur, one of the three Royal Pokémon in the Kanto Region!
People gave them the nickname "Garlic King".
As expected of someone who can have membership in the Silver Pokémon Battle Club, even Pokémon are very precious Bulbasaurs.
"Da Na~~"
After Bulbasaur came out, he called out softly. His voice was crisp and tender, and he didn't seem to be a professionally trained Pokémon.
Natsu narrowed his eyes.
As a Bulbasaur of Grass Type and Poison Type Pokémon, Attribute is relatively good, and Species Strength is much ahead of Weedle.
But if you want to beat Weedle, it's not really the right choice.
At least, Bulbasaur's Grass Type Ability can only do a quarter of the damage to Weedle, and Poison Type Ability can only do half, and with similar strength, Poison Type Pokémon is immune to the negative effects of poisoning .
"Go on!" Kenji shouted, seemingly unaware of Bulbasaur's flaws in facing Weedle.
As the battle began, Natsu put away all his thoughts and concentrated on coping.
"Bulbasaur, Solar Beam!"
Kenji shouted directly without being shocked.
"Huh?" Bulbasaur looked back at his Trainer with a confused expression.
Solar Beam is one of Grass Type Pokémon's ultimate moves. The destructive power is terrifying. The downside is that it takes a while to build up Stockpile.
But anyway, as a Bulbasaur, it's basically impossible to master Solar Beam.
"Really? Haven't mastered it yet? Then use the Razor Leaf!"
"Da Na."
Natsu: "."
So, the Bulbasaur just got caught?
You don't even know the basic moves, so you want to find confidence?
"It's completely different from what the Teacher said in class?" Kenji scratched his head.
He is a sophomore at the Pokémon School in Saffron City, and after a year of studying the basics of theory, this is his first time commanding Pokémon as a sophomore.
He thought that he had mastered the knowledge taught by the school, and he had begun to fantasize about punching the Nanshan Elite, kicking the champion, and finally reaching the top of the championship.
It's very similar to the original Onix, who holds the skin god on the hard steel and shouts that he wants to become a "master".
But obviously.
Theoretical knowledge does not equal actual combat knowledge. He just received his Starter Pokemon, but he didn't realize that this Bulbasaur was also the first time to play against it.
This is not uncommon for clubs.
Because part of the club's business is to lead how the initial Trainers play.
Even in Natsu's employee handbook, it says how to deal with it.
As long as the money is sufficient, a group of elite Trainers can teach them hands-on.
"Your Bulbasaur should only master the basic Tackle, Growl, Vine Whip and other moves. As for whether there is a Hereditary Ability, you have to explore it yourself." Natsu said.
"Really?" Kenji raised his head in confusion.
"Yes. I'm a little curious, what's your rank in your class?" Natsu asked curiously.
"Ahahaha—it's not very high, just twenty-seventh." Kenji was not as arrogant as he had shown at first.
Maybe he's just a bit of a middle schooler and doesn't have any bad intentions.
"Twenty-seven? That's considered average."
"Well, I also think that there is another person in the class who is not as good as me."
"So, there are twenty-eight people in your class?" Natsu was speechless.
Then such a scene would not surprise him.
"Theoretically yes, but he didn't come for a month. I don't know why."
Natsu: "."
"Well, let's not talk about that, let's start the battle! Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip!"
"Da Na!"
Finally, there is a move that can be used, Bulbasaur said that he is too bad It's not easy anymore.
From the connection between Bulbasaur's descendants and the seed-like rhizomes, two finger-thick green vines were pulled out and slapped towards Weedle.
"Avoid," Natsu ordered.
For Weedle, this attack speed is not fast.
