Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Guangtai sighed contentedly.

There was no other work during the charcoal burning process, so he returned to the cabin and put all the props that could be put on the shelves. As for the wood carvings, the selection of Pokémon to carve didn't matter so much. This was more lenient than stone carving, as he didn't have to test the effects one by one, and the carving was also faster.

“Speaking of which, what would happen if I carved humans?”

This thought arose in Guangtai's mind and could no longer be dismissed. In fact, Guangtai had initially thought about making some human sculptures to see what would happen, but he had been busy every day recently, so he hadn't had the time to realize this idea.

No sooner said than done, Guangtai began to carve the wood. As for the character to choose, the most "famous person" he had seen recently was definitely Volo.

“Carving Volo, wouldn’t that attract Giratina? Forget it, let’s change to someone else.”

“Hmm, what about Cynthia!”

Speaking of Volo, one would naturally think of Cynthia, wouldn't they!

Speaking of which, Volo, Cogita, and Cynthia all have the same face. Could it be that the genes of the ancient Sinnoh people were so strong?

Guangtai quickly began to carve, the carving knife constantly cutting and shaving the wood. From time to time, he had to chisel open unsightly spots. Soon, a wooden statue of Cynthia was completed.

『Craft: Small [Ancient Wood Carving] - Style of the Sinnoh Ruins.』

『Description: A wooden statue carved in the style of ancient times, the figure is Sinnoh Champion Cynthia.』

『Craft Effect: Archeology - Can only obtain one kind of lost knowledge from a ruin.』

“Eh, why didn’t the description ‘some enthusiasts will buy it at a high price’ appear this time? Could it be that this thing can’t be sold?”

“The effect is archeology, obtaining corresponding lost knowledge from the ruins. This is Cynthia’s profession. I see, after carving the image of a person, the effect produced is linked to their profession. Then what would happen if there was no additional profession, only a Gym Leader?”

Guangtai immediately set to work, and once again selected a Gym Leader who "shouldn't have a side job."

“Norman.”

He is the protagonist's father in the Ruby and Sapphire series. Depending on the character chosen, he will become May/Brendan’s father. If it is in the anime, he is May's father, and if it is in the manga, he is Ruby's father.

Norman is a simple person who pursues great strength. Although in the special chapter, Norman seems to have had a former job as a League employee, in the game and anime, he seems to have no side job or League employee position, only the identity of a Gym Leader.

『Craft: Small [Ancient Wood Carving] - Style of the Sinnoh Ruins.』

『Description: A wooden statue carved in the style of ancient times, the figure is Petalburg Gym's Norman.』

『Craft Effect: Normal Power - Will affect Normal-type Pokémon around. If you exercise around the sculpture for a long time, the power of Normal-type Pokémon will become slightly stronger.』

“Oh, so it increases the power of the corresponding type!”

“Then what about people who have no job and no corresponding type?”

Guangtai quickly carved out a third character.

Red!

He once became a champion but then resigned, has no side jobs, and trains on Mt. Silver every day until he loses contact. He is known as the Mountain God of Mt. Silver, and is theoretically the strongest person in the Pokémon world...one of them?

『Craft: Small [Ancient Wood Carving] - Style of the Sinnoh Ruins.』

『Description: A wooden statue carved in the style of ancient times, the figure is Kanto Champion Red.』

『Craft Effect: Battle Heart - When a Pokémon gains effort values, the effort values of all the Pokémon you own will be increased synchronously.』

“Red’s wood carving is used to farm effort values?”

For almost the whole day, Guangtai was immersed in wood carving, and his wood carving skills improved significantly without him realizing it. The later figures began to become lifelike, shaking off the slightly awkward feeling at the beginning.

Finally, Guangtai thought carefully and carved Volo out after all.

But unexpectedly, the effect of Volo's carving was to increase the friendship with Pokémon?

I don't know if this effect is mocking him and his Togekiss. He clearly treats Pokémon as tools and emphasizes that he is a Pokémon tamer, but the earliest Pokémon he nurtured, Togepi, which needs friendship to evolve, has already evolved into Togekiss.

He says harsh things, but he cares deeply about his Pokémon in his heart.

“Putting these together looks like selling figures.”

Guangtai silently complained, while looking at his hands. After a lot of repetitive carving, the level of wood carving has indeed risen visibly.

The level of stone carving has progressed more slowly. This is also because stone is more difficult to process than wood.

“Even basic craftsmanship, as long as it is repeatedly tempered over the years, can become a unique and excellent skill.”

『Due to repetitive completion of some work, knowledge has been obtained.』

『Wood Carving Expert: Wood carving efficiency and skill +25%, the carved works are more ancient and beautiful.』

June 27th, the weather is cloudy.

The month is coming to an end, and the climate in Sinnoh has become warmer.

Many things happened yesterday, charcoal burning, wood carving.

Today, Guangtai does not intend to carve wood, but focuses on customizing stone carvings and making a large number of talismans.

Also, about the production of King's Rock and Cleanse Tag.

First of all, Guangtai and the Pokémon work together to process the talismans in the workshop, which doesn't take much time.

Doublade is swishing and cutting the cloth, but Guangtai found that when Doublade is cutting the cloth now, it is not directly cutting with the sword body, but is starting to use Psycho Cut.

The materialized Psycho Cut is manipulated like a thin thread, and Doublade's mastery of mental power has been significantly improved!

“The Psycho Cut pulled into a thread still retains the powerful move power. Does this feel like a new move?”

If you practice like this, will you be able to practice Spacial Rend one day?

A. Spacial Rend?

It's a pity that the Ghost type doesn't have a cutting move, and the only Ghost-type STAB moves that Doublade can use are Shadow Sneak and Shadow Claw, but it doesn't know Shadow Claw yet.

So I can only practice Psychic-type cutting moves, but if Psycho Cut is well practiced, it seems to be very powerful!

Guangtai did not disturb Doublade, but began to prepare Ancient Rock and Ancient Crystal to make Cleanse Tag and King's Rock.

Although he has a unique grinding technique, the crystal must be polished carefully. Thinking of Petilil’s leaves, Guangtai had some ideas.

So Guangtai came to the herb field, and Petilil immediately greeted him happily!

“Wawa!”

Guangtai picked up Petilil, and Petilil made a sweet sound, as if humming a tune. Coming to the workshop, Guangtai told Petilil about the next job, and Petilil was also full of energy!

She has been waiting for this day for a long time! Finally, she can participate in the carving work!

She took off the leaves on her head. After Guangtai carved the approximate shape of the Cleanse Tag and King's Rock, the next thing was her job.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ books ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ release!

The natural King's Rock is actually a stone, which naturally becomes the shape of a crown, so the surface is uneven, but the shape of the artificially made King's Rock is angular and shiny, just like the King's Rock in the spin-off game, with obvious traces of artificial processing.

Guangtai is continuing to make the stone shell for the Cleanse Tag, which is also made of Ancient Rock and needs to be carved.

After a while, until Petilil had finished polishing over there, Guangtai finally finished here.

『Petilil completed the craft work! Gained experience and growth!』

『Learned the move: Encore!』

『Petilil gained knowledge: Grass Polishing - Polishing accuracy for rocks and crystals +15%』

“Eh? Encore!”

Guangtai was stunned for a moment, looking at the somewhat excited Petilil, and secretly thought that the move he had been waiting for had finally appeared.

This move is the most important piece of the puzzle to achieve victory!

“Huff—I have to work hard too!”

Guangtai wiped the sweat from his forehead and embedded the polished Ancient Crystal core into the rock shell.

『Craft Item: Cleanse Tag (Style of the Sinnoh Ruins).』

『Effect: A glittering pendant. When held, abilities will not be lowered by the opponent's moves or characteristics!』

『Craft Effect: Clean Spirit - Slightly purifies the minds of people and Pokémon. Because it is carved in the style of the Sinnoh Ruins, it has the effect of slightly strengthening mental power and eliminating fatigue.』

『Gained Knowledge: 1』

『Clear Body: It is difficult for others to see through your heart, Psychic defense +20%.』

『Craft Item: King's Rock.』

『Effect: When attacking while holding, it sometimes makes the opponent flinch!』

『Craft Effect: King's Demeanor - Pokémon's recognition of the holder +20%.』

『Gained Knowledge: 1』

『King's Bearing: Your charm +25%』

New material clues:

【Sun Stone/Moon Stone.】

【Acquisition location: Regirock, Ancient Spirit Peak/Traveling Merchant.】

【Corresponding craftsmanship: Environmental carving craftsmanship/Soul forging craftsmanship.】

『Due to repetitive completion of some work, gained knowledge 2.』

『Talisman Expert: Efficiency and skill in making talismans +25%, the spiritual power on the talismans seems to have risen.』

『Spiritualist: Your spiritual power rises 25%, and you are more skilled in the use of spiritual power.』

“The two most important evolution stones!”

Guangtai took a deep breath.

Among the three acquisition methods, obtaining it from Volo is the easiest, but if he only has one stone, then he has to find a way for the remaining one.

How easy is it to encounter the legendary giants of Regirock?

And it is normal for the stone to be on Regirock, after all, this Pokémon will search everywhere for rare stones to repair its body, and the evolution stone is also a kind of rare stone.

Guangtai's mind gradually calmed down, and then he went to check the charcoal made yesterday, and went down the hillside outside to take out the charcoal. These are charcoal made from the wood of the oak forest. Although the earthen kiln is a bit simple, the craftsmanship and materials can make up for the lack of equipment.
