Chapter 22 Big! Raw! Strong! (rewrite)

...

The sun rose and the light morning mist slowly appeared .

Apart from the bonfire that was still burning, Natsu's condition wasn't too good. he hadn't slept all night and was alert around him, making his eyes turn red.

In the sun, which took away some of his tiredness.

He looked down at his arm.

Weedle's eyes were still tightly closed, and beside him, was a complete set of carapace.

Appropriate.

It's peeled off.

After Weedle had fallen into a deep sleep last night, he had unwittingly removed his carapace, which was obviously extremely rare for a Pokémon like Weedle.

The most important thing was that Weedle's current body size was actually twice as big as the carapace beside him, maybe even more.

Not just a change in size, the new carapace is more colorful and shiny reflecting the temperature of the sun.

Doubled in size, a change that Natsu had not thought of.

But what he could say for sure was that the change would definitely be better than bad for Weedle.

The loss is not without, at least the previous training, and body mastery, will definitely decrease, as long as Weedle trains again, it will recover soon.

But the benefits.

"Wow~"

With a slight sound, Weedle's eyelids slightly trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were confused at first, and then he regained some clarity.

"Woo!" Weedle raised his head sharply, he looked at Natsu, making sure he wasn't injured or attacked by a Wild Pokémon, before heaving a long sigh of relief.

Well.

Weedle was immediately confused.

Why did you suddenly fall asleep last night?

And sleep is so deadly.

Most importantly, why did he feel like Natsu was shrinking?

Stand up.

Weedle looked at Natsu carefully, and the shock in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Wow?"

'Really shrinking?

Natsu smiled tiredly when he saw her expression, "Don't look, it's not me who has shrunk, but you who have grown up."

"Woo?"

'Grow up?'

Only then did Weedle look at the pile of carapace beside him, and then he looked at himself and examined Natsu's palm.

"Woooooo!!!"

'I really got bigger!!!'

Big! Raw! Strong!

Natsu patted the carapace gently on Weedle's back, he felt a firmer texture and a round, smooth surface.

"That seems like a good thing now. You, unevolved, have more potential after eating those two berries, and you no longer feel like you will evolve."

The insect berry has greatly harnessed Weedle's talents and potential, extending the time to realize his potential to become a strength and prolonging the growth cycle.

He had no idea how Beedrill Giovanni was trained. He only knew that the Viridian Force played a key role, but he didn't know which aspect of this role was embodied.

But Weedle's change now, both in the short and long term, is a good thing.

Natsu also didn't need to think about work just because Weedle would evolve.

With the current situation, Weedle would need at least fifteen days or so to fully utilize the full potential hidden in his body, and he could have more time to prepare.

Be it conquering new Pokemon, or challenging Kakuna's sparring after evolution.

Natsu slowly stood up, but he stumbled on his knees.

His legs were numb after sitting all night.

"It's time to go back. If we don't come back the club will probably think we're dead, and I'm even more interested in that title promotion."

Weedle's transformation gave him the opportunity to pursue higher care.

Weedle quickly adjusted to his changes, then climbed onto Natsu's shoulder.

The shoulder that was originally empty is now a little tight.

And Weedle's weight had changed a lot, and Natsu could feel it.

Laughing and teasing, "you're fat."

Step by step, he walked towards the outer part of the wood forest.

If he didn't hurry back, Kenji's invitation today might be missed.

It's all money.

Dragging the tired body, he left the wood forest smoothly.

The Spearow that was left on purpose yesterday had disappeared. he didn't know if it escaped or was eaten by other predators as food.

With some pity, wearing tattered clothes and carrying Weedle with a somewhat special build, under the strange gazes of the people around him, he boarded the bus back to the club.

The unusual body shapes of Wild Pokémon are not only rare, but also less noticeable.

But that's all natural, and rarely changes from a regular body size to a size twice as large.

"Natsu!!"

Seeing the embarrassed Natsu appear, Anna at the front desk was shocked and slightly surprised.

Anna didn't know why it was surprising, maybe because it would be a pity to see someone who worked so hard die like this.

Yes, the people at the club thought Natsu was dead.

It's not much, but not rare.

Trainers and Pokémon go on wild adventures, anything can happen, and dying is normal, even though the mission may not seem as dangerous.

Natsu smiled reluctantly, "I found something and delayed a bit, is it too late?"

Anna sighed, "After all, it's not too late. The other Main Rank sparring partners don't come back too early, and I will only count your results today."

"Good." Natsu was also a little relieved.

"Give me the camera, then come back and change your clothes, the supervisor will probably see you later."

Natsu handed the club camera "Okay. "

Then he walked to his room. He was so tired. If he has time, it's best to take a nap, even if it's only for an hour or a few tens of minutes. he has to follow Kenji later. Go to the woods again.

Anna looked at his back and saw Weedle on his shoulder, slightly surprised and surprised.

"Is this... a new Pokemon? Or fat?"

It's not like this has never happened before.

In order to keep the job, the club's sparring partner, once his Pokémon has evolved and doesn't have the confidence to beat other sparring trainers, will choose to conquer such Pokémon again and keep his job.

But the club knows this, because they have detailed data and information about each Pokémon's sparring partner.

If the strength of the Pokemon captured again is acceptable, if it doesn't match, they may be expelled.

She shook her head and didn't think much of it.

Send the camera to the technical department and they will take care of the statistics.

Then go to Director Rotto's office.

"Director, 0451, he's back."

Rotto, who was wearing straight clothes, was holding a coffee, reading the newspaper, and slightly nodded, "Understood, wait for the technical department to calculate the data. Alright, let the three of them come to my place."

"Okay." Anna replied respectfully, thought for a moment, then hesitated, "Director, its 0451's Weedle."

"What?"

"There seems to be some changes, I'm not sure if it's a new Pokemon, or the original, which is more than double the size of the original." Anna reported honestly and finished the work herself.

"Oh?" Rotto raised an eyebrow, put down the newspaper and coffee, slightly taken aback, "What do you think? I guess Trainers who work hard with their own Pokémon shouldn't be able to switch Pokémon on their own, right?"

"Probably the original"

One of the reasons for the existence of the Silver Pokémon Battle Club is to gather information about various Pokémon, so Pokémon with abnormal changes have even more Points that require special attention.

"I see. You asked him to take Weedle to the technical department for a test first, and then come back."

"Yes."
