It could be seen that after eating the Magikarp.
First, the absorption of attributes, the division of base stats, then the complete absorption of abilities, and finally the full reception of moves.
Oh, and the division of levels. It directly added five levels to Caterpie.
Levels were not the most important thing, base stats were.
Caterpie was originally trash with a base stat of 195, but now it was different.
375.
You know, Butterfree, Caterpie's final evolution, only had a base stat of 385.
Thus,
Embarking on the great path was just a matter of time.
Caterpie continuously felt the strangeness within its body.
It looked at Ye Feng with increasing shock.
So, Ye Feng had him eat meat, the meat of Pokémon.
This was the reason!!!
It began to use its move String Shot.
Because of the increase in base stats, its String Shot was much stronger than before.
'Good!!!'
It cried out with excitement!!
It had become stronger!
It had become stronger without evolving!
If this continued, it would no longer have to live in fear!!!
It was a Caterpie, at the bottom of the food chain.
It lived in constant fear every day, with Pidgey being its absolute natural enemy.
Now.
Now.
Caterpie's desire for power had surpassed everything else.
From today onwards, having tasted the benefits, it would become like Ye Feng's Red Stripe Pikachu, constantly devouring other Pokémon to gain power.
But Ye Feng did not take any other actions.
He continued to fish here, catching Water-type Pokémon, catching Magikarp, for Caterpie to eat.
He did not take it around to capture and eat other Pokémon like he had with Pikachu back then.
For Caterpie, Ye Feng had a completely different path than for Pikachu.
Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, this last month had also passed.
During this month, Ye Feng's life remained the same.
He fished and trained Caterpie during the day, and trained Hanako at night.
As for Ash and the others, they had been traveling around for this past month.
It was heard that they met one of the Elite Four of the Kanto region, the Fighting-type Elite Four, Bruno.
They also searched for ruins of an ancient civilization with Professor White in Mt. Miaozha, and found giant Prehistoric Pokémon such as Gengar, Alakazam, and Jigglypuff.
And on this day.
"Mom, goodbye!!"
Ash, Brock, and Misty waved goodbye to Hanako.
They were preparing to head to Indigo Plateau to participate in the Indigo League.
"Feng, aren't you going with Ash and them?"
Hanako looked at Ye Feng, who was still by her side and had not moved.
"I'll go in a few days."
"Before I go, I need to do something properly."
Ye Feng placed his large hand on Hanako's shoulder.
Hanako instantly understood what he meant, her face turning bright red.
In fact, the main reason Ye Feng wasn't going to Indigo Plateau with Ash and the others.
It was because Ash and the others encountered too many incidents.
If they stayed together, Team Rocket would be causing trouble constantly, so it was better to go at different times.
To have some peace.
"Hehe, but now that Ash and them are gone, no one will disturb us anymore."
Ye Feng entered the house and locked the door.
At the same time, he put Pikachu and the Mismagius cleaning the house into Poké Balls.
Then, he drew the curtains and locked the windows.
The room, the kitchen, the living room, the floor, the balcony.
Traces of him and Hanako were everywhere.
...
A few days passed like this, and Ye Feng left, fully satisfied.
Ye Feng's body was quite robust, equivalent to a human-shaped Pokémon.
Therefore, Hanako naturally could not withstand such intensity, so after Ye Feng left, she returned to her room to rest.
"Bus fare, eighty."
To Indigo Plateau, Ye Feng directly chose to take a bus.
The fare was very cheap. After finding a quiet seat on the bus, the vehicle slowly started moving.
There were many people on the bus.
But few trainers.
It was estimated that there were only over two hundred people participating in the Indigo League this time.
There was no other way, eight badges were not that easy to obtain.
There was also the Pokémon exam, which was not that simple either.
Therefore, the number of participants was this small.
As for the others on the bus, they were all spectators.
The Indigo League was an absolute grand event in the Kanto region.
Therefore, those with good economic conditions would choose to watch the event live.
Most ordinary families chose to watch on television.
The bus traveled for about a day.
Indigo Plateau was reached.
The first thing that caught the eye was the massive competition venue.
Luxurious, like an ancient Roman coliseum.
And Ye Feng's first destination was the registration hall.
All those qualified to participate had to register first.
Although there were not many people qualified to participate, Indigo Plateau was crowded with people, and there were many television reporters.
Each of them wore smiles, anticipating this grand event.
The registration hall.
Clean and bright.
Ye Feng arrived at one of the registration points in the hall.
The person in charge of reception was a girl.
Around twenty years old, with a sweet appearance.
Ye Feng handed over his Pokédex.
She opened it and compared it.
"Ye Feng from Pallet Town?"
Ye Feng: "Yes."
Then, the girl entered Ye Feng's information into the system.
Registration was successful.
Ye Feng took back his Pokédex and was about to leave.
The girl suddenly called out to him.
"Something wrong?"
"Yes."
The girl smiled:
"You still need to draw something here."
"Something? What something?"
"It's the competition venue."
"The competition venue?"
Girl: "Yes. The competition venue."
"Our venues are divided into five. The first is naturally the main arena, and the other four are the Water, Rock, Ice, and Grass type sub-arenas. You must pass through these four sub-arenas first before you can advance to the main arena."
Ye Feng: "Alright."
Ye Feng pressed the button on the counter, and soon the screen confirmed his first competition venue, which was the Water Arena.
As Ye Feng was about to withdraw his hand, the girl pretended to accidentally touch his hand.
Ye Feng looked at the girl, thinking she was another interesting girl who would willingly take off her pants.
But he didn't say much.
He asked, "Are there any strong contenders registered this time?"
The girl thought for a moment: "Does Professor Oak's grandson Gary count?"
As she spoke, she pointed to a place inside the hall.
A group of reporters were surrounding Gary.
Interviewing him.
There was no helping it, Gary's identity as Professor Oak's grandson meant he attracted so much attention.
"Fine."
Ye Feng left.
For this Kanto Indigo League in the first generation.
There weren't many strong contenders.
The tournament champion, and the subsequent league champion, were all within his grasp.
However, he was looking forward to some strong opponents.
Like that guy from the Sinnoh region, the legendary Pokémon trainer, Darkrai.
But that guy had disappeared after his first appearance.
And one would probably have to go to the Sinnoh region to encounter him.
"Hehe, however, I'll take the championship this time and the league championship."
Ye Feng left the registration hall.
And walked towards the dormitories arranged by the Competitor Committee for the contestants.
Ye Feng wore a mask.
The main reason was that he didn't want people to see what he looked like, to avoid encountering any infatuated girls.
This was the trouble of being handsome.
