Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

#142 - Customers of Rock Hill Store

Regirock was moving stones, arranging irregularly shaped rocks in the temple to mimic common furniture like "tables, chairs, and benches."

Since this was to be a place for Pokémon to trade with each other, it naturally needed corresponding furnishings.

It placed four square stones and laid a flat stone slab on top, forming a wide and large stone table.

Two smooth stones were used as stools, placed on all sides of the table.

It carried long, narrow stones to build a shelf, using mud as an adhesive. Thus, a stone display shelf was completed. Although not exquisite, Regirock was quite satisfied with it.

Stones can be carved into delicate statues or retain their original rough, uneven appearance. Either way can fully embody the charm of stone, and different stones will play their unique roles in different fields.

Regirock thought of the sculptures made of Lumimoss and felt that the temple should have more of those exquisite statues. A rock temple should naturally house rock Pokémon statues, but not too many, so as not to overshadow the main purpose.

"Regi--"

As for goods, there would be various evolution stones, precious, rare, and delicious stones. What else could there be?

Some Rock-type Pokémon had gathered near the Rock Mountain Ruins, attracted by the environment of the Rock Mountain. That feeling was quite magical. The Pokémon spread the news far and wide.

Geodudes appeared at the temple entrance. The environment of the Rock Mountain calmed their hearts, making them feel very comfortable, and their elemental energy seemed to be slowly growing.

The H character on Regirock's face flickered as it saw the Geodudes hesitating at the door, afraid to enter.

These Geodudes were stubborn and ill-tempered, very violent, and would constantly swing their fists when angry, but now they had become very polite.

Unlike Graveler, which lived near cliffs and mountain paths, Geodudes were distributed in forests, grasslands, deserts, and caves. They could be found everywhere except places near water.

"Regi!"

Ah, welcome, welcome! You are the first guests to arrive here!

However, the temple doesn't have any goods yet!

"Geo!"

The Geodudes were somewhat afraid of the rock giant in front of them, but upon hearing Regirock's words, they communicated with each other, seemingly making a decision. They floated, or rather, hopped away. The temple entrance returned to its deserted state, but soon the Geodudes returned, bringing many special stones with them.

"Geo~ Stone!"

They expressed their wishes. They didn't come here to buy goods, but wanted to live here. These stones were the accommodation fee.

Pokémon also have trading behaviors, but when surviving in the wild, their fighting instincts often make them inclined to use battles to solve problems, so trading only occurs between weaker or less combative Pokémon.

Geodudes were not originally Pokémon known for trading, but near this temple, the irritable parts of their nature gradually faded, and they thought of using trading to exchange for accommodation.

"Sha-sha-li," the characters on Regirock's face flickered.

Of course!

It reached a pleasant transaction with the Geodudes and unexpectedly gained... "goods"?

These stones were of different types, probably "food" that the Geodudes had dug up in various places.

Besides berries, stones of various qualities are also the food of Geodude. Different stones have different tastes. Many Rock-type Pokémon have the habit of eating stones or soil. For example, Geodude's evolved form, Graveler, likes to eat mossy stones and eats 1 ton of rocks a day. And there is a Pokémon called Larvitar that will eat all the soil the size of a mountain before it evolves.

Regirock had some understanding of the habits of Geodude, after all, it used to live with humans a long time ago. Ancient people would raise Geodude to carry stone materials or to pickle vegetables.

It thought of the Lumimoss on its body. This moss was originally transplanted by Lumimoss so that Regirock could move freely even on rainy days. From the appearance, its style was somewhat similar to its creator, Regigigas.

An exclamation mark seemed to appear on Regirock's head. It asked the Geodudes to wait a moment, then took some harder stones, rubbed off some Lumimoss with its stone arms, and transplanted it onto those stones.

This Lumimoss was cultivated with special techniques and grew very quickly. After falling on the stones, it began to grow, and rich vitality surrounded the stones. The Geodudes watched this scene, their eyes all lit up, and their appetites were aroused!

Graveler likes to eat mossy stones, and Geodudes certainly like them too!

Moreover, after Graveler evolves into Golem, interesting things actually happen. It is said that the skin of Golem that has lived for a long time will be covered with moss and turn green.

The symbols on Regirock's face flashed randomly.

Using Lumimoss to make food that Rock-type Pokémon love to eat... Wait, it originally wanted to open a convenience store, how did it become a restaurant?

Oh well, that's not bad either, food is also a type of commodity!

"Hoo-say~"

While the Geodudes were devouring the Lumimoss stones, a new guest appeared in front of the temple.

A Sudowoodo. It looks like a tree, with five yellow spots on its abdomen. Each of its hands has three green fingers, like branches and leaves.

When Sudowoodo came in, the first thing it noticed was the Lumimoss on Regirock's body!

"Hoo-say, hoo-say~"

Although this is our first meeting, please, legendary giant, can you share some of the moss on your body with me? I will do anything!

Regirock: "."

Looking at Sudowoodo, Regirock thought that the temple still lacked some large green plants, like potted plants. Of course, it was impossible to plant trees in the temple. In human terms, that's called indoor greening.

"Regi--"

If you want Lumimoss, exchange it for something, like a trade.

Sudowoodo thought for a moment, waved its arms, and ran away in a puff of smoke. It came back after a while, holding a stone covered with red crystals.

Regirock made a sound of permission, then took off some Lumimoss from its body, but Sudowoodo felt it was too little. Regirock said it couldn't help it, it still needed to use this moss. If it wanted more moss, it would ask the craftsmen outside the forest to cultivate it.

Moreover, if this moss covers the body, even if it rains, there will be no fear.

Sudowoodo's expression was surprised. It repeatedly looked at the Lumimoss on its arm, then looked at the large amount of moss on Regirock's body, revealing an envious expression.

Having this kind of good thing is simply good news for Rock-type Pokémon who are afraid of rain!

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

However, the one who cultivates this moss is not the giant, but the craftsmen outside the forest?

Sudowoodo was slightly stunned.

At this time, one of the Geodudes next to it spoke. This Geodude's body was more rounded, which meant it had lived for a long time.

The craftsman outside the forest is the human who recently appeared in the forest! It had seen him before, near Celebi's shrine!

"Regi--" Regirock told the Pokémon about the origin of the Lumimoss and the mysterious craftsman, causing the Pokémon to be surprised.

A human craftsman who can make various powerful foods and cultivate props? Do humans have this ability?

"Regi--"

That is a special human craftsman. You can't measure his level with the eyes of ordinary humans. Moreover, he has also been favored by the forest god!

If you want to exchange something with him, you can go to the workshop outside the forest to exchange with him. If you don't dare, then you can come to the Rock Mountain Temple, but you have to give some stone materials as a fee.

The Pokémon looked at each other. Compared to communicating with humans, it was better to communicate with giants. After all, giants are also Pokémon.

Although there are many Pokémon living with humans in the villages outside, the habits and thinking of wild Pokémon and Pokémon living in human communities are completely different. The Pokémon in the forest do not intend to change their habits because of this.

Of course, it would be great if Regirock could communicate with that craftsman!

Sudowoodo and the Geodudes all wanted Lumimoss!

After that, the Geodudes hopped away, calling their friends and relatives to approach the Rock Mountain Ruins. Sudowoodo found a wall and stood still. People with poor eyesight would really think it was a large potted plant for landscaping.

As night fell, the Geodudes returned from visiting relatives and friends. Not long after, a powerful aura gradually appeared at the temple entrance, alarming Regirock.

Orange and gray covered its body, with a strange black left eye and a scarlet blood moon on its head. The huge bear tiptoed into the Rock Mountain Ruins, for fear of causing any misunderstanding this time.

However, Bloodmoon Ursaluna discovered that this ruin had been repaired!

The damage I caused last time was repaired so quickly. Is this also the power of that human craftsman?

"Regi--!"

A guest? This guy is not here with good intentions!

Regirock and the Pokémon that had once confusedly destroyed the temple looked at each other!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

You家伙,又想来破坏我的房子?Regirock摆出了如临大敌的架势,而赫月则惊慌的摆着手!

"Gah!"

I'm not here to fight!

In fact, I'm here to ask for help... To show my sincerity, I've brought a lot of rare stones. Please, giant, tell me where the human craftsman lives! I will do anything!

Bloodmoon Ursaluna pleaded, taking out some strange stones from its fur, but as soon as it finished speaking, a wave of weakness suddenly swept over it, and it fell down with a bang, smashing the stone table that Regirock had just built to pieces!
