Walking Grass Squad

Walking Grass lived quite comfortably in this grassland.

They could feel that the vitality contained within this grassland far surpassed that of the forest.

Moreover, this was a human farm, and they no longer had to fear being attacked by Magical Beasts for no reason.

Just as they were hiding in the soil, leisurely enjoying the vitality within, they suddenly felt something land on them and in the soil around them.

In the next moment, they suddenly felt an energy they had never absorbed before surging through the earth, drawing them to instinctively begin absorbing it.

What kind of energy is this? It feels so good! After absorbing the energy from the Growth Fertilizer, all these Walking Grass were completely hooked.

Afterward, the Walking Grass poked their heads out of the soil one after another, looking at Aiven, who was fertilizing in one spot.

Without much hesitation, these Walking Grass burrowed out of the ground and ran towards Aiven's location.

Suddenly, like little chicks pecking at rice, a group of Walking Grass appeared before Aiven, all looking up at him as if to say, "I want more, I want more."

Seeing this, Aiven smiled slightly. The Walking Grass's reaction to the Growth Fertilizer indicated that his Walking Grass cultivation plan had already succeeded halfway.

Uncle Darby watched quietly from the side. He looked at the Walking Grass, which they had driven away for competing for the fruit's nutrients, and sighed softly. So much fertilizer was enough for the orchard to use for a long time; he felt it was a bit wasteful.

Even if these Walking Grass had some use, the protected fruit might not be worth the value of this fertilizer.

Soon, Aiven's fertilizer ran out. At this time, the Walking Grass had already clustered together and buried themselves in the soil, comfortably absorbing the energy contained within the fertilizer.

Looking at the empty wooden bucket, Aiven's mouth twitched slightly. He silently comforted himself, "This is a necessary sacrifice."

However, at this consumption rate, the Growth Fertilizer he prepared would soon be depleted. He had to find a way to obtain more Rotten Tree Fruit.

Time passed quickly.

For the past two days, Aiven had been training his Spirits as usual.

The effect of the Sleep Powder Flower Dew Potion was very good, showing noticeable results in just two days.

Petilil and Walking Grass could now condense a powder containing sleep-inducing power using Grass-type energy.

Meanwhile, the Ironclad Rhinoceros, with the supplement of the potion during this period, had fully replenished its consumed potential and began the next stage of training.

The Ironclad Rhinoceros had excellent Ground-type talent. Aiven planned to start from this step, having the Ironclad Rhinoceros cultivate Earth Potion and begin learning the Earth Power move.

The Earth Power move is a special Ground-type move. Although the Ironclad Rhinoceros had very poor talent in special attack, the Earth Power move could help it better master Ground-type energy.

This move is a must-learn for Ground-type Spirits. It is also the foundation for many Ground-type moves, making it highly developable.

In his previous life, Aiven always started with the Earth Power move when cultivating Ground-type Spirits. Training the Ironclad Rhinoceros now felt very familiar.

In addition, Cherrim's training was much simpler. Aiven did not let Cherrim undergo any other training before it learned the Sunny Day weather ability. Over this long period, Cherrim had made great progress.

As for the other two Cherubi, under the nourishment of the Growth Fertilizer, the fruits on their bodies had become increasingly plump. With continued care, there was still hope for them to evolve.

Of course, the biggest change during this period was for the Walking Grass.

Nourished by the Growth Fertilizer, these Walking Grass had completely accepted the farm as their home. During this time, five more Walking Grass joined the farm, bringing their total number to 30.

However, Aiven also paid a great price. A large bucket of Growth Fertilizer had already been consumed by these Walking Grass. Now, there were only three large buckets of Growth Fertilizer left in the orchard.

Considering that this fertilizer also needed to be diluted for fertilizing the fruit trees, he only had one large bucket of Growth Fertilizer that he could freely use.

But after paying such a large amount of Growth Fertilizer, the Walking Grass had completely accepted Aiven. Now, Aiven could direct these Walking Grass to perform the most basic training.

"Aiven, how are you going to cultivate these Walking Grass?"

Uncle Darby couldn't help but ask, watching the Walking Grass running back and forth in the grassland.

Although Walking Grass are Magical Beasts, their strength is very weak. Even a human could easily deal with one with their bare hands.

Aiven glanced at Uncle Darby and smiled faintly, shaking his head. "It's not time for formal cultivation yet. Before that, they must learn discipline."

Recalling the experiences of the past period, Walking Grass No. 7 felt like it was dreaming.

From a young age, it had lived in the Black Forest, constantly facing pursuit from other Magical Beasts.

By accident, it got separated from its group and wandered into human territory.

Timid, it hid and scurried along, unintentionally arriving at a human farm.

The vitality here was truly abundant, making Walking Grass believe it had arrived in paradise. It wished it could stay here forever.

However, the humans wielding wooden sticks were no kinder than the Magical Beasts. They used sticks, fire, and every means to drive them away.

As it fled, Walking Grass saw many of its companions fall into human hands, either beaten to death with sticks or burned to death by fire, filling it with fear of humans.

Although it narrowly escaped human attacks time and again, it was eventually captured by humans and placed in an iron cage.

It originally thought it would be beaten or burned to death, but unexpectedly, it was sent to this farm and met its current master.

Good heavens, this place is truly like paradise! Since arriving here, it never wanted to leave again.

Its master was different from other humans. He was very gentle. Besides giving them a place to live, he also gave them something to absorb called Growth Fertilizer. It swore this was the most delicious thing it had ever absorbed.

Under the nourishment of the energy from this Growth Fertilizer, it felt itself growing stronger. If it encountered the human who captured it last time, it was sure it could run faster and leave the enemy far behind.

Originally, Walking Grass thought it could live peacefully like this forever.

But winter was coming soon. When that time came, the Magical Beasts from the forest would also come to human territory and destroy the home they had finally found.

It knew that its master was not wrong. It had personally experienced the previous winter when those detestable creatures stormed into the human orchard, and it had almost become food for them.

What should I do at a time like this? Should I abandon this home it worked so hard to find and continue wandering?

Just then, it suddenly noticed that one Walking Grass, under its Trainer's guidance, had actually learned a move called Sleep Powder!

Heavens, this was the first time it had seen a fellow kind, besides its own tribe's leader, Gloom, capable of unleashing such powerful energy!

Afterward, what did it hear?

That such a powerful move could even be learned by itself?

Upon hearing its Trainer say that, it truly thought it had misheard.

However, since its Trainer said so, it must be true. Now that it had the chance to learn, it naturally couldn't refuse!

To learn the move called Sleep Powder, and then, together with its companions, repel the Magical Beasts that invaded here and protect their home!

Hey, you despicable creatures, this time I won't run away again!

Today was already the third day they were receiving training from their Trainer.

However, they hadn't been training Sleep Powder. Their Trainer had only made them listen to commands, stand still, turn left together, turn right together, then turn around together and walk together.

Oh, its Trainer was truly a devil.

Because one annoying fellow accidentally took a wrong step, they didn't get that delicious Fertilizer today.

Oh, it was truly terrible. Didn't that fellow know the direction of the sun's rise? It caused them to not even have Fertilizer to enjoy.

Fortunately, in the time that followed, they could skillfully follow their Trainer's commands. The delicious Fertilizer was truly wonderful.

But when would they finally get to learn the Sleep Powder move? It had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Training the restless Walking Grass is truly too difficult."

On the grass, looking at the relatively neat Walking Grass, Aiven slowly let out a sigh of relief.

For a Trainer to train their Spirits, discipline was the most crucial element.

Only when Spirits obeyed their Trainer's commands and cooperated with each other could they display their strongest combat power.

Therefore, for a Trainer, taming their Spirits and making them obey commands was a mandatory course.

Moreover, since he was assembling a Spirit squad, the requirements for the Spirits' discipline were even higher.

Training this group of Walking Grass now gave him quite a feeling of giving elementary school students military training; it was truly too difficult.

Fortunately, through the allure of the Sleep Powder move, the incentive of Growth Fertilizer, and the threat of winter Magical Beasts, the Walking Grass were very cooperative, barely meeting his requirements.

"Next, we can train the Sleep Powder move." Slowly exhaling, Aiven decided to proceed to the next stage of training starting tomorrow.

On the second day, the Walking Grass stood neatly in the grass, their faces filled with anticipation. Starting today, they could finally learn the Sleep Powder move.

Training the Sleep Powder move was truly much easier compared to training the discipline of these Walking Grass.

He only needed to apply the Sleep Powder Flower Dew Potion to these Walking Grass and let them absorb the energy contained within the potion.

During this time, the Petilil had completely learned the Sleep Powder move. The little one had proactively taken on the teaching role, instructing the Walking Grass on how to use the Sleep Powder move.

At the same time, all this Sleep Powder Flower Dew Potion was also prepared by the Petilil. Aiven felt that the task of training the Walking Grass in Sleep Powder could be fully handed over to the Petilil!
