Chapter 1 - I'm a ... Caterpie???

Chapter 1

Viridian Forest, located at the heart of the Kanto region.

Thanks to the league, a large number of Rangers have been dispatched to patrol and protect the forest, curbing illegal logging and poaching.

The forest's huge ecosystem has been preserved to this day, a home to countless pokemon.

Of course, because of its rich resources, it attracts thousands of trainers a year.

Deep in the Viridian forest, countless giant trees stand tall.

Hidden in the shadows of the branches of one of these trees is a dark hollow.

In the hollow, a white egg decorated with circular green markings was swaying slowly.

"Crack… crack…"

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the top of the eggshell.

Dazzling white light flowed from the cracks, illuminating the hollow.

Luckily, the hollow was hidden, so it didn't cause much commotion.

More and more cracks appeared on the eggshell. White light gradually enveloped the violently shaking egg.

Finally, as the eggshell was completely covered by the light, it gradually deformed, like clay shaped by an unseen hand.

Its original oval shape was replaced by a strange long creature.

"Buzz… buzz…"

The gentle humming sound emitted by the transformation echoed in the hollow.

The scattered white light gradually condensed and solidified, and soon, the outline of the long creature became clearer and clearer.

"Bang!"

The condensed white light suddenly exploded outwards, turning into small dots that scattered in the hollow.

It gradually disappeared, and the tiny creature that was originally hidden under the white light revealed its true form.

Most of its long body was covered with green, its abdomen was light yellow, it had a yellow spindle-shaped tail, and yellow round spots dotted on both sides of its body. There were two bright black eyes embedded in its round head, and a Y-shaped red tentacle on its head, shining with a strange luster.

Obviously, this is one of the most common pokemon in the Viridian Forest, Caterpie.

Lu Yun looked at the dark tree hole in front of him and felt a little dizzy. He had not yet reacted to what had happened.

"What... is going on?"

Lu Yun clearly remembered that he was lying on the comfortable sofa at home, preparing to play the long-awaited new Pokémon game.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he picked up the handheld game console, everything went dark, and he appeared here the next second.

Lu Yun twisted his body, feeling something strange, and looked down.

"Ah?"

"My... my body..."

"I'm not a human anymore?"

Lu Yun was confused.

Although he didn't know what he had become, perhaps because he had read too many isekai novels in his previous life, he was not as panicked as he should have been.

While thinking,

Lu Yun found that there was a faint, translucent blue logo in the lower right corner of his view, which looked like a Poké Ball.

When he focused his attention on it, the Poké Ball suddenly expanded, turning into a screen that took up half his field of view.

Race: Caterpie

Level: 1 (0/100)

Skills: Tackle, String Shot

Evaluation: An ordinary newborn Caterpie at the bottom of the food chain in Viridian Forest. You probably won't evolve into Rayquaza (joke).

A game that lacks production funds, with a shoddy interface made by the author.

The blue translucent interface is divided into two parts. The left column is your own stats.

The column on the right is similar to a message box, but Lu Yun did not find the input button.

After seeing the comments, a "#" symbol seemed to appear on Lu Yun's forehead.

"What terrible design..."

"But... this should be the golden finger... it must be!"

Lu Yun was secretly delighted.

Imagining a scene where he defeated various Mythical and Legendary pokemon.

He felt secretly happy and started to study the system.

But not long after, Lu Yun had no choice but to put away the screen.

He clicked around in the interface, but couldn't find anything interactive.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of anger.

"Why is there nothing but displayed attributes? At least give me the entire mission, bonus points or something!"

"But these moves seem interesting. How do I use them?"

Lu Yun thought about it and suddenly said to himself.

"Tackle!"

The antennae above his head emitted a pale white light, and a sudden force pushed him forward.

"Bang!"

Lu Yun hit the tree trunk hard, but the trunk did not move at all, and the bark was slightly scratched.

"Ahhh…"

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Lu Yun wailed and rolled madly on the ground.

Then he silently decided to put this move aside for now and practice it later.

"It's too weak. Let's see how [String Shot] works."

Lu Yun rested for a while before trying another move.

So he moved his position, aimed at the larger space in the tree hole, and silently said:

"String shot!"

"Zizizi…"

Lu Yun spit out three or four silk threads, which then fell limply to the ground.

"…"

"Maybe I really am a useless insect..."

Lu Yun was confused.

He wanted to rest for a while, but after using two "powerful" moves, the hunger in his stomach could no longer be suppressed.

He had no choice but to move my soft body and crawl towards the edge of the hollow.

As Lu Yun crawled out of the hollow, a strong breath of nature hit him in the face. He shuddered and suddenly became alert.

Unlike the darkness and silence of the hollow, the outside world is bright and noisy.

Rays of sunlight shone through the thick layers of trees, forming spots of light on the dense grass on the ground.

The clear and melodious chirping of birds can be heard from time to time, and a gentle breeze blew by his side, making him feel careless and happy.

But Lu Yun did not let down his guard.

Because he knew that in this forest, as the bottom of the food chain.

Any carelessness may lead to fatal disaster.

The most urgent thing now is to fill his stomach quickly.

Lu Yun looked around and found that the only things suitable for him to eat were tree bark and leaves.

He looked hesitantly at the branches below him.

"I've read in novels before that the protagonists' sense of taste seems to change after they transmigrate. This bark should be edible..."

"That should be possible..."

Lu Yun suddenly bent down and took a big bite of the bark.

"Pooh!"

A dry, bitter taste came.

"I'd better try the leaves."

He was seen holding onto the branch tightly with his two pairs of proto-feet and moving his body carefully.

Heading towards the lush green leaves not far away.

Lu Yun stopped from time to time, raised his round head and looked around, alert to the danger that might arise at any time.

Perhaps the goddess of luck could not bear to see his journey of travel end before it even began, and Lu Yun did not encounter any danger until he climbed to the green leaves.

Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, lay on the green leaves, raised his body, raised his mouthparts, and took a big bite.

A stream of cool and clear juice rushed into the mouth.

"Hmm! It's a little sweet."

"Not bad, not bad!"

Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction, indicating that he was very satisfied with the leaves compared to the bark before.

But just when Lu Yun was about to continue eating.

"Ding!"
