Land only after confirming there is no danger.

So many apple trees!

Kirachi saw many red apples hanging on the branches, and his mouth watered uncontrollably.

It floated up and eagerly reached out to pick the apple, only to be startled by the shaking apple. It turned out that the apple was a fruit-eating beetle in disguise, and the two leaves on its head were actually its eyes.

Open your eyes~

Something's a bit weird!

Just now, Jirachi mistook it for an apple leaf and was startled before even touching it. The apple's stem was gone, replaced by the two eyes of a fruit-eating worm.

"Eat this."

Bai Hong could recognize it.

An apple with a stem is the real one.

"Ugh, it's so sour!"

Jirachi had just taken a bite.

My teeth are sore from the acid.

This is different from the sweet apples I ate before. Didn't Bai Hong plant a lot of sweet apple trees in the secret realm before? After getting used to sweet apples, I don't like sour apples anymore.

"Sour apple?" Bai Hong said, reaching out to grab the fruit-eating worm that had been disguised as an apple. After staring at it for only two seconds, the creature suddenly looked away and emerged from behind the apple as a pupa.

It ran away!

Jirachi shouted.

To avenge what had just happened.

It froze in place with a ding.

"What a brilliant escape from the cicada's shell!"

At this moment, Bai Hong finally saw the true face of the Fruit Eater. It looked no different from an ordinary insect, making it hard to believe that it was a Pokémon, and it even possessed the powerful Dragon type.

[The true nature of the fruit-eating worm: After losing the apple, its original nature is fully revealed; it is a peculiar little worm.]

Chapter 204 Fruit borers and all the fruit are needed

Let's nibble away!

I want to escape!

But there's no escaping it.

The fruit-eating worm struggled desperately.

Unfortunately, his body was immobilized by the force of his mental will.

He thought that by abandoning the apple he used for shelter, he could save his life, but his escape attempt failed and he was caught red-handed.

"Give it to me!"

Here you go!

Kirachi pretended to throw it.

Intentionally scare away fruit-eating insects.

Ah ~

The fruit-eating beetle was startled.

His eyes were about to pop out.

When it came to its senses, it found itself in Bai Hong's hands, its body gripped tightly, barely able to move.

"Hello, cute little bug!" Bai Hong grinned mischievously, using just the right amount of force—not painful, but uncomfortable.

Fruit~

What do you want to do?

The fruit-eating worm was frightened.

The small creature can only hide inside apples to avoid bird Pokémon, as bird Pokémon are their natural enemies.

It's hard to imagine that a Dragon-type Pokémon would have a natural enemy, which proves that the Fruit Eater is indeed a worm in its true form.

Insects are afraid of birds.

Like an instinct.

Yet it possesses dragon attributes.

"Seriously, are you really a Dragon-type Pokémon? You're way too weak." Bai Hong complained to its face.

Let's nibble away!

I want you to take care of it!

The fruit-eating worm stared wide-eyed.

He hadn't even been arrogant for two seconds.

Their arrogance was suppressed in an instant.

"Pretty impressive, how did you manage to slip away just now?" Bai Hong picked up the apple and glanced inside with his right eye, only to find that it was empty, like a snail shell or a tortoise shell.

What's amazing is that even though the inside of the apple was hollow and all the flesh had been eaten by fruit-eating worms, the peel and the outermost layer of flesh did not rot and remained fresh, which is truly incredible.

As far as he knows.

Once an apple is bitten.

The pulp will quickly oxidize and turn yellow.

However, apples inhabited by fruit-eating insects do not oxidize and turn yellow; instead, they appear fresher than those hanging on the tree.

Based on the information that comes to mind, it can be roughly deduced that the fruit-eating worm can integrate with the apple in a short time, using it as its shell, which may be the secret to its preservation.

Let's nibble away!

Let me go!

The fruit-eating worms twisted and turned.

It feels really disgusting.

For someone who is afraid of insects, just looking at them is enough to make their scalp tingle, let alone handling them.

Actually, Bai Hong was a little scared. He kept telling himself that this was a Dragon-type Pokémon, not a bug, and forced himself to mentally prepare himself.

The fruit-eating worm's form is somewhat abstract. Its body resembles a large green caterpillar, with two black hairs on its tail and its eyes protruding outwards, as if it were startled. At first glance, it looks like it has two leaves stuck on its head and two black beans pasted in the middle of the leaves.

Let's do another check!

Check if its attributes have changed.

[The true form of the Fruit-Eating Worm: After losing the apple, its original attributes will be fully revealed, becoming both worm and dragon.]

This time it was finally identified. I didn't expect that the fruit-eating worm really has insect attributes. Could it be that it lives inside the apple, causing the insect attributes to be covered by the apple's plant attributes?

So far, researchers have not discovered any insect dinosaurs. The most controversial ones are the fruit-eating worm and the mandible ant. They look like insects, but they do not have insect-like characteristics, which is really puzzling.

I wonder if researchers have ever had the fruit-eating beetle discard the apple and studied its body; perhaps that would lead to new discoveries.

"Little Insect Dragon!"

Bai Hong loved it dearly.

This is exactly the insect dragon he wanted.

To confirm whether the apple affected the fruit-eating insect's properties, a sudden inspiration struck: the insect's head was inserted into the apple, followed by a super-psychic assessment.

[Fruit-eating worm (main body?): Not yet fully burrowed into the apple, its attributes are unstable, and its egg set will also be affected.]

Egg group?

What egg group?

Bai Hong almost forgot about this.

If I remember correctly, fruit-eating insects seem to be classified into the plant egg group and the dragon group egg group, but not the insect group egg group.

On the contrary, mandible ants, ultrasonic larvae, and desert dragonflies have been classified as insect groups and dragon egg groups from the beginning.

"Try pulling it out!"

The white swan took advantage of the fruit-eating insect's unpreparedness.

Pull it with a little force.

Fruit~

It was pulled out.

My eyes hurt a little.

[The Fruit-Eating Worm's true form: After losing the apple, its original attributes and egg set will be fully revealed. Its attributes are worm and dragon, and its egg set consists of worm swarm egg set and dragon swarm egg set.]

Just as Bai Hong had predicted.

The attributes and egg set are both wrong.

This finally confirms that the fruit-eating worm is actually an insect dragon, but simply holding it in your hand isn't a solution.

"Go in." Bai Hong thought for a moment, then stuffed the fruit-eating worm into the apple.

Logically, when a fruit-eating worm lives in an apple, it should have a section of its tail sticking out and its lower body sticking to the leaves to avoid skin chafing and injury. However, after being stuffed inside, it inexplicably hides away.

[Sour apple: It's been eaten by worms.]

This guy refuses to show his eyes and tail, so the super-sensory identification can only identify a sour apple, which is quite interesting.

"You're not coming out, are you?"

Bai Hong took out a brand new Poké Ball.

Gently touch the apple.
