Chapter 46 - ch46

🎉50 advance chapter in PATREON 🎉

"Charmander, use Ember!"

"Char~"

In the yard, fireballs shot out from Charmander's mouth, aiming at a thick wooden board.

Boom boom boom!

A series of dull blasts echoed as the flames cracked the wooden boards, leaving a young maid in awe.

"Success, Miss!"

As the final fireball hit the wooden board, shattering it completely, the maid exclaimed excitedly.

"Whew~ hehe~ Charmander, you did it."

"Char~!"

Claire was overjoyed, picking up Charmander and spinning around happily.

The shy Charmander smiled back, letting out joyful cries.

"Charmander is really impressive, and the training results are remarkable."

The maid approached the two, looking at Charmander with astonishment.

When they returned in the afternoon, Claire had talked about something inexplicable, even mentioning special training for Charmander.

The maid was initially shocked when she saw Charmander, especially when she witnessed its ability to use Ember. It nearly frightened her to death!

But after spending the afternoon together, it completely changed the maid's view of this magical creature.

Charmander not only worked very hard but also had a gentle personality. From only singeing the wood to breaking it completely.

The first time the maid touched Charmander's face up close, its extremely healing smile melted her heart.

So cute!

"Char~" Charmander smiled cutely at the maid's praise.

"You've worked hard, let's go have dinner."

Setting Charmander down, Claire patted the little heads of Charmander and Trapinch with satisfaction and smiled.

"Char~!"

Charmander tugged at Claire's trousers.

"Huh? What's wrong, Charmander?"

Claire blinked and looked at Charmander curiously.

"Char~"

Charmander stepped back a little, puffed its belly slightly, and then exhaled a black breath, enveloping the area in front of it with black smoke.

"Wow!!! Charmander, did you learn a new move?"

This unfamiliar move took Claire by surprise, and she asked Charmander excitedly.

"Char!" Charmander responded happily.

"It's amazing, my treasure, let me check. There's really a new move!"

Claire quickly took out the Pokémon Pokédex, which confirmed that Charmander had indeed learned a new move.

It was Smokescreen, a move that can lower the opponent's accuracy.

Looking at the black smoke, Claire understood why it lowered accuracy.

"Hahaha~ I am indeed the strongest trainer in the future!"

Claire's delicate face was full of delight. What did this mean? It meant her special training method was correct!

Charmander had grown, otherwise, it wouldn't have learned new moves.

"Congratulations, Miss, Charmander really worked hard."

The maid was also very happy to see her young lady's joy and congratulated Claire while not forgetting to praise Charmander.

While she didn't fully grasp the significance of Charmander learning a new move, she did understand that Charmander had been diligently exercising since returning home.

Even when tired, it persisted with grit, thanks to Claire often feeding it energy cubes and applying Potion.

If not for that, Charmander might have already been exhausted.

Claire had wanted to pause several times, but Charmander insisted on continuing—a stubborn and lovable little guy that tugged at her heartstrings.

...

"Hahaha~ Everyone, my Charmander learned a new move!"

In the Pokémon House group chat, Claire couldn't wait to share the good news with everyone.

At the same time, she posted a short video of Charmander using Smokescreen.

Miss Bella: ??? How did you do it?

It's a male fox: No way, why didn't my little fox learn it?

Old-fashioned: This is Smokescreen, it's not a genetic move. Did you specially train Charmander?

Alex, who was in the store, glanced at the group chat and raised his eyebrows after seeing the video.

No doubt, this was a Smokescreen move, and if this followed the game's logic, it was a level 8 move for Charmander.

Clearly, Claire had given Charmander special training.

From Mitsumi to Big: Hahaha~ Of course, okay? This lady is the top trainer!

From Mitsumi to Big: Under my special training, Charmander's Ember skills not only improved, but it also learned a new move, hahaha~

You could feel Claire's joy from her messages.

LarvitarIsNotAFoodie: As expected of Claire, but how did you train Charmander?

LittleBirdYiren: Sister Claire, you're amazing! Did you train its physical strength? Or the intensity of its moves?

It's a male fox: Damn it! How did this woman get so lucky?!

The group chat messages kept coming, but Alex didn't have time to read them all.

Because the customer in front of him finally spoke up.

"Boss, is this Catterpie really okay? I always feel like..."

The boy standing before Alex looked hesitantly at the little green bug on the ground. Can a bug really become strong?

Are you sure it won't be defeated by Charmander and Vulpix?

"Of course, there's no problem! Do you think I, as a boss, would deceive customers?"

"Caterpie is one of the starter Pokémon for most Trainers, despite being a Bug Type."

Well, it's a classic choice among passerby NPCs in Pokémon games, right?

"And you should know the story of turning a cocoon into a butterfly."

"Boss, are you saying Catterpie will become a butterfly in the future?" The young boy was surprised.

"That's for sure, isn't it? After Catterpie evolves, it not only becomes very beautiful, but it can also learn moves with superpowers."

"So don't underestimate Catterpie, its potential is quite significant."

Alex said with conviction.

"Most importantly, the general growth rate of Bug Type Pokémon is the fastest among all types!"

"This means you may only need to spend half the time other Trainers do to raise your Bug Type Pokémon to adulthood!"

"And the importance of time is self-evident. While other Trainers are still working hard to train their Pokémon, you'll already have fully grown Bug Pokémon far ahead of them, won't you?"

The boy was quite moved. Yes, a faster maturation rate naturally means faster combat readiness.

"And I've also heard a story that Catterpie can evolve with a branch mutation, though it has never been proven and is just a topic of debate."

"It is said that Catterpie can evolve into a green dragon!"

"Though I personally think this claim is groundless. Bugs are bugs—how could they evolve into dragons, right?"

Alex mentioned this 'story' as if by chance and also shared his skepticism, albeit with a hint of strategy.

Catterpie evolving into a dragon?

The boy's eyes lit up instantly, dismissing Alex's skepticism.

Even if Alex, the store manager, was skeptical, the story's existence suggested it had some basis.

So, could Catterpie evolve into a dragon?

The boy analyzed it carefully and thought there was a good chance. There are stories of bugs turning into dragons online.

Bingo! This is it!

"Boss! I'll buy this Catterpie!"

"You have great insight, my friend. You'll be an excellent trainer in the future. That will be $6,700!"

"Swipe my card!"
