Chapter 105: Larvesta’s Heaven-defying Talent!
Lei Wen’s practical combat special training was very effective.
After two consecutive weeks of grueling special training, Dratini and Snivy both achieved considerable growth.
Especially Dratini.
From its recent high-frequency molting, almost once a day, it can be seen that it is growing at an extremely fast rate.
Agility, Slam, Dragon Pulse…
Coupled with the Wrap, Leer, Twister, Thunder Wave, and Dragon Tail it had already mastered, Dratini currently knows eight moves in total.
Compared to Dratini, Servine’s growth was even more rapid.
This nearly half-month of grueling special training allowed it to learn Energy Ball, Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Slam.
“Good… If it continues like this, Servine will be able to evolve into Serperior soon,” Lei Wen muttered.
He looked at the two Pokémon beside him and said to them, “Alright, let’s rest for a day, and then continue the special training tomorrow.”
“Wooo~”
Dratini had no objections; it did whatever Lei Wen said.
Servine remained noncommittal.
It looked at its own body; the growth over the past half-month was astonishing even to itself.
If it were before, it would never have believed it could achieve such rapid growth in such a short period.
“Snivy…”
Lei Wen noticed Servine’s slightly surprised expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “If you persist, you will become even stronger.”
In this era where the Trainer system is almost nonexistent, even the most common special training methods of the future would be overwhelming in this era.
Not to mention that the humans of this era know very little about Pokémon, and have no idea what types or moves are, let alone their counter-relationships.
Upon hearing this, Servine’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
No Pokémon could refuse the temptation of becoming stronger.
As they spoke, Lei Wen’s gaze shifted to the Larvesta beside him.
After this period of getting along, this Larvesta’s affection for him had increased from 80 to 100.
This is probably the benefit of a Trainer personally hatching an egg? Lei Wen couldn’t help but think.
Pokémon are naturally very close to the first person they see when they open their eyes.
Lei Wen beckoned, and Larvesta, wagging its tail like a happy puppy, crawled over.
It looked up at Lei Wen with its blue eyes, its gaze clear and enthusiastic, like a large Golden Retriever.
Lei Wen patted Larvesta’s head; although it was an insect, it felt fluffy to the touch, unbelievably so.
Lei Wen even had the urge to bury his face in its white fur.
However, speaking of which, compared to ordinary Pokémon, Larvesta’s size is truly large!
Pokémon grow very quickly; in just seven days, Larvesta had already grown to nearly 1.2 meters.
Lei Wen even felt that, even as a larva, this Larvesta’s strength was by no means comparable to an ordinary Larvesta.
After all, it was the offspring of a Pokémon with legendary-level strength.
“Larvesta, shall I take you out to play for a while?” Lei Wen asked.
“Mee-la!”
Larvesta immediately let out a joyful cheer like a child.
“Very well, let’s go!” Lei Wen smiled.
Dratini and Servine were both tired, so Lei Wen let them stay home to rest.
He took Larvesta and went out.
In early May, the temperature gradually increased, and the air grew warmer.
It wasn’t hot, but a very comfortable temperature. Lei Wen walked on the red brick road paved by the workers, with an occasional gentle breeze from the wilderness brushing against his face, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.
Although it was already evening, the workers building the Town and Machop had not yet finished their shifts; they toiled in the Town, sweat dripping from their brows.
Although it was hard work, everyone had a smile on their faces.
“Prince Lei Wen!” Seeing Lei Wen, their eyes lit up, and they quickly shouted.
“Be sure to rest, don’t overwork yourselves,” Lei Wen replied with a smile.
“Yes!”
Passing through the not-yet-completed Town, Lei Wen and Larvesta arrived at a relatively open grassy area.
Lei Wen wanted to understand Larvesta’s strength, so he glanced at the moves Larvesta currently knew and then said:
“Come on, Larvesta, show me your power, use Flamethrower!”
Pokémon’s understanding of how to use moves is ingrained in their genes; even if it heard the name Flamethrower for the first time, Larvesta could instantly understand Lei Wen’s meaning.
“Mee!
As the words fell, the five red antennae on Larvesta’s head rapidly heated up at a visible speed. Terrifying Fire Type energy gathered within them, eventually forming streams of scorching flames that gushed out from the five antennae simultaneously.
The five streams of flames eventually merged into a single, thicker, and more terrifying beam of flame, which then blasted forward.
The grass where the flames passed was instantly scorched black, leaving a clear mark on the ground.
Seeing this, Lei Wen’s pupils contracted.
The power of this Flamethrower was definitely not something a Pokémon in its larval stage should possess!
What’s going on? Is it because Volcarona passed on its Origin to Larvesta?
If that’s the case, what stage has this Larvesta’s initial strength reached…
Lei Wen looked over in disbelief.
Larvesta was also looking at him, its eyes full of anticipation, with an expression seeking praise.
“Well done, Larvesta!” Lei Wen praised generously.
“Mee!” Larvesta indeed became excited.
Next, Lei Wen had Larvesta demonstrate Fire Dance, Flame Charge, Fire Spin, and Sunny Day.
Every time Larvesta used a move, it needed Lei Wen’s praise before it would continue.
“You did well, Larvesta.” Lei Wen petted Larvesta’s head; he was very pleasantly surprised by Larvesta’s performance.
If Larvesta received more special training, then he would have enough self-preservation ability.
Dusk was falling, and Lei Wen sat there with Larvesta for a while longer before returning home.
The Maids brought Dinner. Dinner consisted of Ham sandwiches, several servings of Mashed Potatoes, two Roasted Fish, several steamed eggs, and some Berry Juice.
The Bread was baked from flour milled from Wheat grown in the Territory, and it was soft, sweet, and very delicious.
The Mashed Potatoes were also made from Potatoes harvested from the field, sprinkled with black sesame seeds, giving them a rich and mellow taste.
Lei Wen ate a few bites and then suddenly remembered something, so he ordered a Maid to call Elif.
Lei Wen casually filled his stomach and then let the Pokémon play at home while he went to the Lord’s Hall.
“Your Highness, do you have any instructions?” The Old Butler had already finished Dinner and was about to report the situation when he heard Lei Wen was looking for him, so he hurried over.
“How many Seeds did we buy from the traveling Merchant last time?” Lei Wen asked.
“This matter?” Elif thought it was something important and, hearing this, he couldn’t help but feel relieved, then slowly began to report.
“They were all good quality Wheat Seeds and Rice Seeds, as well as quite a few Vegetable Seeds.”
