Did he just ask him a question?
Village Chief Aaron was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Just now... you spoke?"
"Yes, it's me."
Mark answered simply, without explaining why he was squatting in the corner just now.
In fact, the reason why he squatted on the ground just now was mainly to gain experience.
Eating food can make his body grow and thus gain experience.
The blue light released by the awakening ball can nourish his spirit and generate even more experience. Mark speculates that this blue light can help his spirit grow to a certain extent.
After John put away the awakening ball, the blue light did not disappear immediately, but seemed to be affected by gravity, slowly sinking, and then flowing to the low corner of the wooden platform.
Seeing this, Mark squatted in the low place.
Finally, when the blue light completely disappeared, his experience bar rose to 81%.
Mark estimated that if there was enough food and he and the Caterpillar worked out diligently, they would be able to accumulate a point in seven to nine days.
Afterwards, Mark found the village chief nearby, so he stood up and asked about the method of becoming a trainer.
Coming to the world of Pokémon, he will eventually become a trainer.
Aaron looked at Mark and found that Mark's eyes were clear. Although his tattered clothes were still shabby, he no longer looked stupid.
Aaron asked in surprise: "Can you speak now?"
"Um."
Mark nodded in response. Sooner or later he would have to interact with people and it was impossible for him to keep pretending to be a fool.
As for how to explain it, the phenomenon of fools suddenly becoming wise has existed since ancient times.
Mark was about to explain when he saw the old man pat his forehead and said, "I see. It seems that the awakening ball had an effect on you, causing you to unexpectedly regain your intelligence. I once heard a rumor that there was a person in Yunrui Province who was in a similar situation to you. Not only did he gain intelligence, but he also gained a lot of knowledge about elves in his mind.
It's just that this situation doesn't seem to be recognized as awakening special abilities. It's a pity that CommissionerJohn has left, otherwise he could help you ask in detail.
You were squatting in the corner just now because you just regained your intelligence. Are you feeling unwell? How is your health now? "
The old village chief looked at him with concern, and the Caterpillar came over and showed the same concerned expression, as if he really thought he was not feeling well.
Mark rubbed the caterpillar's head helplessly. His caterpillar was actually quite intelligent and could basically understand human language. It was just that it had been hanging out with fools for all these years and had little communication with humans, so it was a little silly in some aspects.
But no matter what, the problem of the fool's enlightenment has been solved, and the old village chief has perfectly explained his "fool's enlightenment". Not only does it explain why he can speak fluently, but it also provides a reasonable explanation for his subsequent literacy problem.
Thinking of this, Mark replied: "I am fine now, I don't feel uncomfortable. The memories of the past in the village seem like a dream to me. I still remember that you gave me and the caterpillar food, but it's very vague. Many memories in my mind are very vague..."
Listening to Mark's words, Old Man Aaron patted Mark on the shoulder and sighed.
Old Man Aaron said: "It seems that you are worse than that person. You haven't obtained the knowledge of the spirits... It's okay, it's all in the past, it will be fine, everything will be fine.
You have recovered your intelligence now, and it seems that you have recovered well. In the future... You just asked how to become a trainer, right?
In fact, it is a good choice for you to become a trainer.
As for how to become a trainer.
For ordinary civilians, if they want to become a formal trainer, the most direct way is to participate in the trainer qualification assessment.
But it is very difficult. Not only do you have to pass the written test, but you also need to pass difficult practical tests.
In addition, you can also obtain a trainer qualification certificate by joining a gym or entering a Pokémon Academy.
If you want to join a gym, the requirements for gyms in different places are different... In fact, the best choice for you is to enter the Spirit Academy.
Even if you are admitted to an ordinary Pokémon Academy, you can still get a good Pokémon Egg after admission. During the four years at the Pokémon Academy, the academy will also systematically teach you the knowledge of a trainer and assist you in the cultivation and training of Pokémon.
It is very difficult to get into the Pokémon Academy. In some ways, it is even more difficult than the trainer qualification examination.
You recovered your intelligence in the ability awakening test. Although you did not awaken any special abilities, it is also a special case. If Specialist John can give you a certificate, maybe you can get some extra points. I can ask for you..."
The old village chief's answer was very detailed, and Mark nodded repeatedly.
While thinking, Mark suddenly thought of something and said, "I remember there is a school in the east of the village. Can I go there to borrow books?"
Whether it is the written test of the trainer exam or admission to the Pokémon Academy, he must accumulate sufficient knowledge, so he has to read books.
Plus, there's an added benefit to reading.
Since he guides the Caterpillar to practice collision, the experience bar can be increased.
If he actively acquires knowledge and enriches himself with knowledge, can he also increase his experience bar?
Mark felt that not only could it be improved, but the speed of improvement might be even faster.
By then, he would read books and study while instructing the caterpillar to practice collision. The experience bar might not be doubled, but it would at least increase a little...
Looking at Mark's serious expression in studying, Old Man Aaron smiled with satisfaction.
It is true that it is difficult to get into the pokemon Academy, but the kids in the village really don't study hard.
Hearing Mark's words at this time, Old Man Aaron was very moved.
Old Man Aaron said, "Of course you can borrow books. Not only that, you can also go to school. The age limit for admission to the pokemon Academies in various parts of the Kingdom of Shia is generally sixteen years old. You are only thirteen years old now. If you study hard, you can still go in three years..."
"I'm... thirteen?"
Mark couldn't help but touch his Adam's apple and look at his strong body.
Old Man Aaron explained: "Don't be surprised, you are indeed thirteen years old, but you are developing a little fast.
During the chaotic pokemon tide ten years ago, your parents died and left you behind. You were only two or three years old at that time, so your age cannot be wrong."
Mark suddenly realized, "I see. No wonder you and that Commissioner John asked me to take the awakening test as well."
Old Man Aaron showed a look of reminiscence and said, "At that time, I arranged for Bran and his wife to adopt you, but within half a year, Bran and his wife disappeared.
In fact, I still don't know where Bran and his wife went.
When I found you, you were looking for food in the garbage dump at the east end of the village. At that time, I wanted to bring you back and raise you myself, but you ran away directly into the bushes. I took people to look for you for two days but couldn't find you.
At that age, I thought you were dead, but I saw you again a few months later.
I wanted to catch you, but every time you disappeared into the bushes like Rattata.
Gradually, it became what it is now..."
Thinking back on Mark's past experiences, Old Man Aaron sighed and felt emotional.
I have to say that it is a miracle that Mark can survive so tenaciously.
Old Man Aaron did not continue to recall, and said: "Well, now that you have recovered your intelligence, you can stay at my place today."
Noticing that Mark looked a little reluctant, he patted Mark's rumbling stomach and said, "I have food here. Are you hungry?"
Mark hesitated and nodded.
In fact, if Old Man Aaron hadn't mentioned food, he really didn't plan to go to Old Man Aaron's place.
He and the Caterpillar absorbed the blue fluorescence of the awakening ball and were now full of energy.
Mark planned to take the Caterpillar to collect some food in the forest, and then practice collision with the Caterpillar at night to speed up the accumulation of experience bar.
However, the old village chief mentioned food. He had tested the experience increase from fruits and some grass plants before, and he really wanted to know how much experience increase from normal human meals.
In this way, Mark followed the village chief, and soon he came to a very spacious courtyard, which was the village chief's home.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a two-meter-high black stone pillar that looked very hard. The Caterpillar curiously moved closer and bumped it gently with its head a few times.
Seeing this, Old Man Aaron explained, "This is black heavy stone. It is not only solid, but also extremely heavy. Even some powerful elves would find it difficult to shake it..."
Old Man Aaron narrowed his eyes and recalled the distant past.
He remembered that it was in this yard that his grandfather, with his extraordinary strength, lifted the stone block up and down, and exercised his muscles like a toy.
Then...
Without too much recollection, Old Man Aaron looked at Mark and said, "Don't stand there, come into the house quickly. If you are thirsty, there is a kettle on the table. I'll get some bacon and cook a pot of broth later..."
