Chapter 14 - Chapter 13: Weedle Shares the Milk

Trainer: Natsuhiko

Pokémon: Weedle

Body: Medium

Speed: Excellent

Technique: Excellent

Reaction: Medium

Momentum: Excellent

Overall Rating: Excellent

Strength Assessment: Qualified

Evaluation: Compared to Wild Weedles, this one is quite outstanding. It releases techniques with exquisite timing, and the proficiency of its techniques is quite impressive. It is one of the rare combat-ready individuals among Weedles.

Note: It leapt from a modest medium rating to an excellent rating in less than a week; the compatibility between Trainer Natsuhiko and Weedle is very high.

Looking at the rating report on Weedle generated by the club's analysis of daily combat and training status through the computer.

The so-called inferior, medium, excellent, special, and top tiers are all evaluations based on the average value from Silver Company's massive database of all Weedle data.

In other words, Natsuhiko's Weedle has now reached a level more exceptional than most Weedles in the Pokemon Realm.

As for the strength assessment, it is a result given based on all Pokémon.

During this time, through reading related knowledge, Natsuhiko roughly understood the division of Pokémon strength by the league based on various qualities of Pokémon.

Pokémon are divided into Junior Pokémon, Qualified Pokémon, Excellent Pokémon, Senior Pokémon, and Elite Pokémon stages by strength.

Junior Pokémon generally refer to those newly born Pokémon, having not undergone training or combat trials. In the eyes of trainers, their strength is rather ordinary or even weak.

Qualified Pokémon refer to those Pokémon that have reached a level considered qualified by trainers, equivalent to the level Wild Pokémon reach upon reaching adulthood under normal growth conditions.

After that, the levels of Excellent, Senior, and Elite are further divisions of Pokémon combat power evaluation.

Now, Natsuhiko's Weedle is already a Qualified Pokémon, capable of showing the strength that an adult Pokémon or even a stronger stage can exhibit under the trainer's command.

Weedle reaching the Qualified level in just under half a month is an affirmation of Natsuhiko's ability and also an affirmation of Weedle's efforts.

Putting down the report.

Seeing Weedle circling around on the table, playing by biting its tail but never managing to bite it.

"Weedle, you are now a Pokémon cultivated by a qualified trainer." Natsuhiko told it the result.

The Pokémon report from the Silver Pokémon Battle Club is quite useful, at least it allows Pokémon and trainers to see the Pokémon's progress, avoiding blindly training without seeing results.

Each level of those ratings brings a sense of achievement.

"Woo!"

Weedle lifted its head, blinking its small eyes, filled with surprise inside.

"Tomorrow might be your first wilderness battle, are you ready?"

Natsuhiko patted Weedle's hard shell, feeling the smoothness and roughness in his palm, all results of the hard training during this period.

Of course, the role of the Energy Block and MooMoo Milk cannot be overlooked either.

"Woo woo!!"

Weedle nodded heavily, raising its tail while lifting its head, seemingly showing off its muscles.

During this period, Natsuhiko's every timely tip has shaped Weedle's character.

Facing any opponent with absolute confidence, it won't feel inferior or inadequate because it's just a Weedle.

But it won't be blindly overconfident either, recognizing and accepting that other Pokémon may be stronger.

It may be disappointed when defeated, but it won't lose heart.

It will find ways to improve itself while acknowledging its shortcomings.

Dong.

Natsuhiko took out a glass bottle containing milky white shiny liquid from the cabinet.

"Rest early today, drink up this bottle of MooMoo Milk and get a good sleep; tomorrow's trip to the Dense Wood Forest shouldn't be too dangerous, but you still need to have the right attitude."

He said, opening the lid.

Instantly, fragrant milk aroma wafted out.

"Woo~~"

Weedle squinted its eyes, twitching its small nose, sniffing the scent of MooMoo Milk with a face full of intoxication.

"Eat up."

Natsuhiko brought a bowl and poured all the MooMoo Milk into it without leaving a drop.

"Woo woo!!" Weedle chirped happily, quickly moving its soft pink limbs, approaching the bowl, and pressed its entire body onto it.

Just as it lowered its head to take a big drink, it suddenly stopped.

Turned its head to look at Natsuhiko.

"Woo?"

Seemed to be asking, aren't you going to drink?

Natsuhiko understood its meaning, chuckled lightly, and shook his head, "Go ahead, it's bought for you, to help you grow better."

"Woo!"

But this time Weedle was very determined, shaking its head and backing away from the bowl.

Its small eyes stared directly at Natsuhiko.

The meaning was clear: if Natsuhiko didn't drink, it wouldn't drink either.

No matter how tempting the MooMoo Milk was to it, it didn't waver its gaze from Natsuhiko.

Such an unprecedentedly firm attitude.

Seeing its expression, Natsuhiko was taken aback.

A wave of warmth surged from the deepest part of his heart.

"Weedle, you've grown up too..."

Unable to resist Weedle, under its gaze, Natsuhiko poured a portion of the MooMoo Milk into a newly taken out bowl.

"Woo!"

But Weedle still shook its head firmly, refusing to drink even when it saw the noticeably different amounts in the two bowls.

"Okay, okay."

Natsuhiko smiled and compromised, dividing the milk equally into two bowls, not a bit more, not a bit less.

Seeing this, Weedle finally nodded with satisfaction, immediately and eagerly clinging to the bowl edge, drinking up "ton ton ton."

Watching Weedle lying satisfied at the bowl, Natsuhiko felt complicated.

He thought he was destined to be alone after coming to this world and was prepared to strive alone.

But just now, the softest part of his heart was gently touched, originating from this seemingly ordinary sharing of milk.

In the past, Kong Rong gave up the bigger pear, and today Weedle shares milk.

Couldn't help but chuckle.

Picked up the bowl.

Drank the milk inside in a few gulps.

The taste was very delicious, with little fishy smell, and after drinking it, he could clearly feel a warm sensation in his stomach.

The MooMoo Milk produced by the big milk tank is priced much higher than regular milk for a reason.

When he put down the bowl, Weedle had already finished its share, stretching lazily with satisfaction.

When it raised its head to look at Natsuhiko, it suddenly burst into cheerful laughter.

"Woo woo~~ woo woo~~"

Its tail thumping the table, seemingly amused by something.

"What?"

Seeing its behavior, Natsuhiko had a feeling and wiped his mouth lightly; it was a thin layer of milk residue, also known as a milk mustache.

Seeing the milk residue on his hand, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Stop laughing, you should look at yourself." he said, bringing a mirror to Weedle's face.

In the mirror, Weedle's face also had a circle of milk residue, looking even more strange and funny compared to Natsuhiko's appearance.

Seeing its own appearance, Weedle's laughter came to an abrupt halt, stunned.

Almost reflexively, its body curled up, trying to wipe it with its tail, but in a hurry, it couldn't manage to wipe it off in any way.

In the end, with Natsuhiko's help, its face was finally cleaned.

"Woo——" Weedle let out a long sigh of relief, as if relieved.

Then, trainer and Pokémon looked at each other and laughed together.

Perhaps this is also one of the mutual growths between them.

On the bed.

The sound of Weedle's steady breathing looming nearby, yet Natsuhiko didn't fall asleep, keeping his eyes open.

"If I remember correctly, wasn't the Silver Company backed by the Rocket Team..."
