Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

“Your sculptures are truly amazing. What I love most is collecting these kinds of ancient stone statues!”

“What, you say these are replicas? No, no, no, I know these are replicas! But even if they are replicas, to replicate them to this extent is almost indistinguishable from genuine antiques. This is a precious work of art! I’m willing to pay a high price to acquire them! Acquire all of them!”

“Ah, I see... You’re going to sell to others as well. Sorry, I was being presumptuous. Then I’ll just buy one of each!”

“Wh-what! Some have already been removed from sale? This, this is too bad! When will you put those items back on sale? I'll be waiting at any time!”

“Then I’ll just buy one sculpture for now!”

After seeing off the previous customer with the ID [Mythology Researcher], without mourning the departure of the old customer for even a moment, a new customer rushed to the battlefield!

This time, the other party's ID was practically a dead giveaway, called [Bourgeois Meyer].

“It’s Bourgeois Meyer from the Unova region. Seriously, who uses their real name online?”

The Bourgeois family lives in Undella Town in the Unova region and is a wealthy family. There are six members in the family, and their hobby is spending a lot of money to collect ancient antiques. This time, they said they were recommended by their 'friend', so they found my shop and admired my craftsmanship.

Undella Town, Unova?

Oh, right, there is indeed a customer over there, [Ancient Explorer], right!

“Customers will introduce each other. Through this kind of introduction, my customer base will grow bigger and bigger!”

“But my first thought was to dominate the Johto region. Why are the wild customers that are refreshing from other regions? Hmm, don’t the local people in the Johto region have any needs for battles? Before, there were only customers from Ecruteak City and two Elite Four orders.”

“The other Gym Leaders are also… Eh?!”

While Kotake was pondering this, he suddenly received an email.

It turned out to be from the customer in Ecruteak City before. At that time, this customer purchased directly without communicating with him.

“[The Old Amber I bought from you last time has a great effect on channeling, so I hope to purchase another batch, as well as the Spell Tag.]”

“[Let me introduce myself, I am Morty, the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City, a 'Yamabushi'. It seems you are also a powerful psychic? If you have time, please come to Ecruteak City to communicate with me. I will prepare tea and gifts to entertain you.]”

Oh, it’s Morty!

This guy has a very rich story in the game, anime, and special episodes, mainly because his identity as a Yamabushi and a Ho-Oh seeker adds a lot of points. And his so-called Yamabushi is actually a kind of psychic. Morty has mastered the magical ability called 'Clairvoyance' through hard psychic training.

“Wait, can’t this guy peek at me like Will does!”

Kotake narrowed his eyes unconsciously, then scratched his head.

These people with strange abilities are really… They always make people feel like they’re being monitored by a security camera!

“Okay, I will definitely visit if I have time, around after autumn or at the end of the year.”

Kotake gave a reply, and Morty on the other side was also very happy:

“[Then I will wait for your visit! Also, I have recommended your charms and those spiritual cloths to my fellow psychics. After using your charms, they were all quite surprised. I estimate they will come to you to purchase them soon.]”

“Ah, thank you so much!” Kotake quickly typed out a reply.

Customers communicate with each other and then make recommendations. This is a virtuous cycle!

However, Kotake does have a plan to go to Ecruteak City once, mainly regarding the craftsmanship of making the Clear Bell. He has almost collected it unknowingly.

All that’s left is the net weaving process, and this process is the most important of all.

“Should I visit Mr. Steel in Azalea Town first? But I can’t leave now.”

Leaving Shin'ou to go to the Johto region, just walking to the nearest Blackthorn City or Mahogany Town will take a lot of time, so walking back is not possible.

So, if you want to go to Johto, leaving in late August or mid-September is a good choice. Anyway, this place will be covered by heavy snow from October, which can also allow the land to restore its fertility.

Speaking of which, if I could build a greenhouse, I should be able to continue growing crops even in the winter in Shin'ou.

The Johto region has a unique “Berry Planting Pot”, which means that in the game, the Johto region cannot plant berries and can only use planting pots to plant them. At first glance, the planting pot looks like a flower pot with a glass cover, but if you look closely, it doesn’t seem that simple.

However, the soil in the planting pot must be from the Shin'ou region or the Hoenn region.

Different regions of soil will affect planting… Kotake suddenly thought of the special forests in various places.

“If I had a large Pokémon with the Flying-type, I could freely enter and exit various regions, and it would be convenient and fast, but now it’s a bit troublesome.”

“The Charizard in Blackthorn City seems to have a manned service, sitting in a hot air balloon and being pulled forward by Charizard…”

It is indeed a bit uncomfortable without the help of a Flying-type Pokémon, but if you want to choose a Flying-type Pokémon that can also fly with people...

If it is simply flying, many Pokémon can do it, but only strong Flying-type Pokémon like large Charizard and large Dragonite can carry people for long-distance flights.

Speaking of Flying-type Pokémon in the Johto region, especially the larger ones, it is of course “Skarmory”.

However, compared to Skarmory, Corviknight in the Galar region is a better choice. It is an upper-level replacement for Skarmory in every aspect.

Speaking of which, Doublade's evolution, Aegislash, seems to be able to do low-altitude manned flights, but it doesn't look very safe.

After seeing off two new customers, Kotake took out some of the berries he had harvested not long ago. These berries, which were ripened by Celebi’s power, actually looked better than those grown naturally. Then Kotake handed the berries to Petilil, and at the same time beckoned to Doublade, who was still splitting wood, to come over.

“Let’s eat berries together! But speaking of eating together, actually only I’m eating.”

Petilil and Doublade both absorb nutrients and do not need to perform the “eating” action.

“Remember not to eat them all, you need to leave a little.”

Although the two Pokémon didn’t understand why they couldn’t eat them all, they still did as they were told.

Wiki Berry, Pecha Berry, Oran Berry, Razz Berry, Figy Berry, Nanab Berry, Shuca Berry, Chople Berry... These berries were eaten incompletely by Kotake.

Among them, Doublade’s eating method is the most unique. The two ribbons each hold a berry, and then they begin to absorb the essence of the berry. The berry also shrinks at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only a little bit of the core and outer skin are left.

Soon these berries were left with a pile of oddly shaped scraps, and Kotake selected them inside and picked them up one by one to observe.

Not triggered, not triggered, not triggered...

“Strange, don’t these count as 'leftovers'?”

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!

Until Kotake picked up a defective berry that was eaten the earliest, thoughts suddenly flooded into his mind:

[Material: Leftovers (High-quality Wiki Berry)]

[Description: This is a berry that has been left over and left for a while. Due to not being eaten for a long time, the nutrients have begun to be lost, the ingredients have also changed, and the taste has declined. It can only restore one-sixteenth of the life.]

[Obtain Craft: 1]

[Unique Leftover Food Making Craft (C+): A craft to mix many leftovers, or cut open, and left for too long berries to make unique leftovers. The production form of the leftovers is not limited. If the Pokémon carries it and eats it before the battle, the Pokémon's HP will slowly recover during the battle for a long time, and it is also effective when not battling.]

[If you let a Pokémon with a recovery move participate in the production, the leftovers will have special additional effects.]

“Let a Pokémon with a recovery move participate in the production… Wait, I remember.” Kotake suddenly remembered something.

In the Hisui era, there seemed to be a behavior of using Pokémon's moves to “season”?

Without saying a word, Kotake went back to the house to take out pots and bowls, and set up a picnic stand, and started a fire underneath, pouring some of the leftover berries in first.

“Petilil, use Pollen Puff on the food! But keep the strength low.”

Kotake pointed to the pot, and Petilil looked unbelievable!

Petilil?

Although she had a strong curiosity, Petilil still used Pollen Puff on the food in the pot according to Kotake's instructions, and the glittering golden-red pollen entered the pot, and the strength was well controlled!

When the Pollen Puff entered the pot, the food in the pot seemed to have undergone a strange change.

Kotake took out the berry soup in the pot and put it in a bowl to observe.

[Food Craft Product: Leftover Berry Soup (Flower Soup).]

[Description: This is a soup stewed with a lot of leftover/cut and placed berries. It has a strong recovery effect and will attract the surrounding Pokémon.]

[Craft effect: If Pokémon eat it, Pokémon's HP will slowly recover during the battle for a long time.]

[Additional effect: 'Pollen Puff' is used for seasoning. After eating, Pokémon's skill will permanently increase (small), and after eating Grass and Bug-type Pokémon, the attribute energy will also be improved.]

Skill? This is a kind of “physical fitness” of Pokémon.

The so-called physical fitness is the saying in the Pokémon Arena, and it is also the state shown by Pokémon in daily life. Unlike racial values, physical fitness is divided into endurance, strength, skill, speed, and jumping ability.

Speed affects how fast Pokémon move.

Strength affects the consequences of Pokémon colliding with other Pokémon.

Skill affects the operation accuracy of Pokémon's special actions.

Endurance affects whether Pokémon are prone to fatigue.

Jumping affects the height of Pokémon's jumps.
