Chapter 67: Snivy Evolution?
In the wooden house, Lei Wen carefully observed the body of the Dratini that had just shed its skin.
He gently reached out to touch it. At this time, the Dratini’s body had become very delicate and soft, like the finest silk in the world.
Smooth, soft, and fine…
“Hmm, it’s gotten bigger compared to before,” Lei Wen thought.
This was a clear sign of the Dratini’s life energy constantly expanding.
For a Dratini to evolve into a Dragonair, it had to undergo countless molts before its life energy expanded to an entirely new stage.
At that time, a miracle called “evolution” would be born within it.
Evolution, was it not also a transformation of life’s essence for Pokémon?
At this moment, witnessing this scene, Lei Wen’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
This meant that all his efforts had not been in vain; the Dratini, under his care, had achieved significant growth!
“You did well, Dratini!” Lei Wen patted the Dratini’s head.
The Dratini affectionately nuzzled Lei Wen’s palm with its head.
Seeing the Dratini’s action, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Lei Wen’s face.
Then, he turned his gaze to the clean white dragon skin lying to the side.
The skin that the Dratini had shed.
Lei Wen took it in his hand, and in the next second, using the technology he had previously unlocked, called Basic Processing, the detailed effects of this dragon skin appeared in Lei Wen’s mind.
【 Dratini’s shed skin: Strong and tough, it is an excellent material for making luxury items such as bags and is very valuable. 】
Dragon skin bags…
But Pokémon like Dratini were very rare. Due to very few witnesses, they were even called Mythical Pokémon in later generations.
It was obviously impossible to raise Dratini on a large scale to collect their shed skins.
But this also perfectly demonstrated the preciousness of this dragon skin.
However, for the current territory, rare luxury goods were not of much use yet.
Even if they wanted to trade, they couldn’t find suitable merchants.
“Phew—!” Lei Wen stood up again and said, “Alright, I’ll keep this dragon skin for you for now.”
After all, it was a proof of the Dratini’s growth, and the first skin shed always held commemorative significance.
“Moo~!” The Dratini had no objections.
Lei Wen smiled, then sat down at the table and continued to handle various affairs within the territory.
It had just rained outside, and the air was filled with a humid scent.
But Lei Wen had the maid light the fireplace in advance, making the room dry and comfortable compared to the outside.
Lei Wen was handling official business.
The Pokémon played on the wooden floor by themselves.
Several lively Poffins chased and played with each other, while one or two quieter ones gently swept the floor with their fluffy tails.
The Dratini that had just shed its skin curled up on the cushion beside Lei Wen, closing its eyes to rest.
After watching Lei Wen for a while, Snivy jumped onto a wooden shelf and began to meditate.
Everything seemed so warm and beautiful.
In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped.
Lei Wen took Snivy to the Berry Orchard and Farmland to check on the growth of the crops.
After growing through a winter, the crops in the farmland had already broken through the soil. The green and tender wheat seedlings swayed gently in the breeze, looking full of life and hope.
Several farmers, carrying hoes, shuttled back and forth in the fields, clearing weeds.
Sandshrews were nowhere to be seen; they had likely hidden underground.
And that berry grove, after half a month of careful nurturing by Snivy, had also seen seeds sprout, turning into small, tender seedlings.
“Indeed, Grass Type Pokémon can be of great help when it comes to farming!” Lei Wen couldn’t help but think.
“Snivy, you’ve done a great job!” Lei Wen grinned and gave Snivy a thumbs up.
“Snivy.”
Snivy proudly crossed its arms and turned its head away, not looking at Lei Wen.
“So, after this period of special training, have you become more proficient in controlling Grass-type energy?” Lei Wen asked.
Speaking of important matters, Snivy’s expression became serious.
“Snivy.”
This training method was indeed very effective for it. Snivy could clearly feel its own changes.
Before, it could only condense one Vine Whip for attack.
But now… Snivy even felt like it could release two Vine Whips for attack simultaneously!
Without further ado, Snivy immediately concentrated its energy. In the next second, two long and tough Vine Whips extended from its neck.
Seeing this, Lei Wen was slightly taken aback.
Two Vine Whips?
But he quickly reacted.
“It seems you’ve made considerable progress during this time!” Lei Wen said with a smile.
“Snivy~”
“Then, next, we should practice a new move.” Lei Wen said, recalling the information about the move Magical Leaf, “First, try to condense the energy within your body into the shape of a leaf—”
“Snivy…”
Snivy immediately began to try.
It mobilized the energy within its body, attempting to condense it into the shape of a leaf.
However, it might have been the first time, leading to its failure.
But Snivy was not discouraged. It looked at a green leaf that Lei Wen had specifically found, and then began to try again.
“Try to imagine the shape of this leaf in your mind—or channel your energy into this leaf, and then slowly transform the tangible into the intangible,” Lei Wen instructed from the side.
Snivy followed his instructions.
After numerous attempts, it finally succeeded in condensing a sharp leaf with energy.
The leaf was condensed from precise Grass-type energy. It floated around Snivy, enveloped in a dense green light.
A sharp glint flashed in Snivy’s eyes. The information etched deep within its genes surged forth at this moment.
Magical Leaf—under Lei Wen’s guidance, it had mastered the technique for using this move!
“Snivy—Snivy!”
Snivy erupted with a green light. In an instant, sharp leaves emitting green light appeared all around its body and shot forward, slicing through the air with a “swoosh swoosh swoosh.”
A sound of breaking air echoed. These Magical Leaves, like blades, all pierced into the soil.
Seeing this, Lei Wen nodded continuously.
As expected, after building a solid foundation for a Pokémon, practicing new moves becomes much easier.
“Well done, Snivy!” Lei Wen praised.
This Snivy of his could fight five Sneasel at once and escape their attacks; how could it be an ordinary Pokémon?
Magical Leaf, scattering leaves to attack the opponent.
This move might not seem like much on the surface.
But if the number of leaves was large enough, it would form a terrifying storm.
Leaf Storm, a super-powerful move of vital importance for Snivy!
If it could learn it, Snivy’s combat capabilities would be greatly enhanced.
Just as Lei Wen was contemplating, an extremely dazzling white light suddenly erupted from Snivy’s body.
“Snivy—?”
Snivy felt the change in its body and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Lei Wen’s gaze was instantly drawn to this scene.
That was… evolution?!
