Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

The strange tremors of the Rock Mountain Ruins had just subsided. Amidst Regirock's cheers, the dot matrix on the ground relit, and a strange mental wave spread outwards, causing both Steven Stone and Guangtai to feel puzzled.

What just happened? Was Rock Mountain Ruins always like this before?

At the same time, Guangtai received feedback about his Pokémon.

『Doublade has completed a craft construction!』

『Unown has completed a craft construction!』

『Acquired knowledge: Ruins Awakening—Can adjust the energy flow of ruins, influence of Hidden Power +25%.』

Moreover, it wasn't just Guangtai's Pokémon; Steven's Metagross and Beldum also seemed to have many question marks popping up above their usually blank heads!

In that instant, they had grasped unique abilities and felt the change in their power!

Psychic power had been enhanced! No doubt about it!

Metagross's gaze sharpened instantly!

Beldum was simply celebrating its sudden increase in power, but Metagross stared at Guangtai. Undoubtedly, the change had been brought about by this human, not the ruins. In that case...

So that's how it is. Working with this person will result in continuous strengthening?

It had been wondering what to do if Steven gave those training foods to that silver Metagross. Although it had become stronger, it was still in the second stage. While that was already good, wouldn't it be even better to advance further?

Now, the solution was right in front of it!

“Mido!” Metagross nodded to Guangtai, as if making a decision!

Secretly following along with the work, becoming stronger, and then astonishing that silver Metagross... wasn't this an opportunity that belonged solely to it!

Coming to Shindo and meeting this amazing human was truly fortunate!

Guangtai didn't quite understand Metagross's words, after all, Metagross wasn't an ancient Pokémon, but from its attitude, Guangtai could sense a kind of determination and recognition, so he returned a smile.

“Thank you for your help, Metagross! And Beldum too!”

Beldum waved its claws happily.

Becoming stronger? Beldum didn't know!

But as long as it was Steven's order, it would do anything. Being able to help Steven's friend was the best!

Just then, Guangtai suddenly clutched his head. Echoes in his soul shifted his attention.

He heard a message from Giratina!

The workshop was being invaded by a Pokémon?

Upon learning that the Pokémon invading the workshop was a Scizor, Guangtai was quite surprised!

A Scizor breaking into the workshop to steal...? Wait, could it be that Alpha Scyther?

Seeking items to become stronger, even resorting to theft. He had already learned of this from Spiritomb. He hadn't expected Scyther to find his workshop. Although he hadn't met it yet, it seemed to have been observing him for a long time!

“It used the Metal Coat I made to evolve!”

Most wild Pokémon don't have a concept of morality, as could be seen from the Hisuian Electrode before. However, as long as you can subdue a wild Pokémon, they will naturally recognize their mistakes, which is very strange.

They clearly possess high intelligence and wisdom, yet they behave like beasts, surviving and competing. Unlike Pokémon living in cities, wild Pokémon rarely cooperate. Most of the time, they are indifferent or hostile to each other.

If it came to steal, he certainly couldn't let this Scizor off easily.

According to Giratina's description, this Scizor stole some Rare Candies and Energy Cubes. It hadn't caused any more damage before being discovered by Giratina, who was looking at himself in the mirror, and was caught on the spot!

【I think it needs to pay a price. After being defeated by me, it seems like it will take a long time to wake up. What do you think we should do with it?】

【It is also a lost Pokémon. My idea is, since it wants to become stronger and admires power, then I will use power to make it understand that properly strengthening oneself is more important than anything else. Stop thinking about crooked ways.】

【Hmm... Are you thinking of something rude? I don't do those things anymore. I have reformed.】

Guangtai: “No, I just think your idea sounds pretty good. Let that Scizor stay in the Distortion World for a while. From your description, that Scizor might have some psychological problems?”

【It seems so...】 Giratina repeated Scizor's account, and Guangtai suddenly understood.

So it was because of childhood trauma that it developed such an extreme pursuit of power.

Many bird Pokémon like to attack passing bird Pokémon in groups. It should be the Spearow family. Even the super rookie Ash Ketchum was once tormented by a Spearow army. However, considering that the Shindo area also has Pokémon from Sinnoh, Johto, and other regions, it could also be Skarmory, Staraptor, Hisuian Braviary, or the low-quality Murkrow and Honchkrow gangs.

Although Scyther's base stat total is as high as 500, and it is a fairly powerful Pokémon, a newly born, low-level Scyther has basically no combat power against powerful Flying-type Pokémon.

And come to think of it, Scyther can actually be considered a semi-social Pokémon, yet this Alpha is also a loner. Clearly, it has been an orphan since childhood...

It was also chased by a Rock/Flying-type dragon. This description is quite accurate... Is there an Aerodactyl in the Shindo forest?

How could something that should have been revived by technology appear in the wild?

“The specific problem will only be known after meeting it, but... if it's a psychological problem, perhaps Unown can help.”

Guangtai looked at Unown E, which was in a triumphant state after using Hidden Power. Seeing Guangtai's gaze, it happily floated over!

Anong~!

How was it? My power restored the ruins! Speaking of which, this is the first time I've done something like this in so long!

“You're amazing. This is sincere!”

In the anime, the Solaceon Ruins in the Sinnoh region can be activated by Unown, so Steven's guess was correct. Rock Mountain Ruins has now been properly activated. Regirock felt the reassuring power within the ruins. It hadn't expected that it could repair these broken ruins to be even better than before so quickly!

As expected, professional matters should be handled by professionals!

It had been repairing it for so long, but it was always in a semi-broken state!

Moreover, the mental wave that was just emitted, if it was correct, should be...

“Regi—” Regirock thanked Guangtai and Steven, and then informed them that the other two giants should have been "awakened" by the mental wave!

Rock Mountain Ruins retained the powerful spiritual power of the ancients, and this power was linked to the giants. The three giants lived in the same forest, and the ruins were not particularly far apart, so they could naturally sense each other!

This was different from the giants sealed separately in other regions!

“Regirock is thanking you,” Guangtai translated to Steven, who smiled slightly. Seeing the ruins restored, he had once again experienced an incredible event and was in a very good mood:

“Not at all. The most important thing is the craftsman who repaired the ruins. Without Master Guangtai's craftsmanship, even if I understood this ruin thoroughly, I wouldn't be able to reproduce this ancient appearance.”

Steven stroked the restored relief, his eyes somewhat dazed, as if he was seeing a lifelike illusion!

It was clearly just carved out, but it had an authentic ancient charm, and even he, a professional gem collector, couldn't tell the difference!

“Regi!”

Regirock tapped Steven on the shoulder, of course, restraining its strength. Even so, Steven felt a pain in his shoulder and almost fell to the ground!

The H character on Regirock's face flickered!

Professional from afar, to thank you for your help, I will take out the precious gems I have collected to give to you!

This is the reward that was agreed upon before!

Steven's eyes immediately lit up!

The newest novels are first published on LiuJiuShuBa!

“You're too kind. This is what I should do!”

Those hands directly grasped Regirock's arm, and sincere emotions were conveyed to the heart of the rock giant, fully demonstrating the friendship between humans and Pokémon!

Regirock was also very happy. It also mentioned that there were good places to dig for stones nearby, where it often found precious stones, and invited Steven to go mining together when he had time.

Steven was very tempted. Considering that he had to wait in Shindo for Guangtai to make items and then bring them back to Devon, and he couldn't stare at Guangtai's work all day, he had the idea of going out to dig stones with Regirock...

Being able to stay in Shindo without external interference, focusing on excavating rare stones, and even having like-minded friends and the perfectly coordinated legendary giant to help, what kind of paradise is this.!

Metagross on the side sighed.

Two stone-digging guys met each other, like magnets firmly attracting each other!

Regirock was also full of new expectations for the future. After the ruins here were repaired, it could transform this place into a trading post (convenience store)!

Guangtai: “But it's getting late today. Repairing the ruins took a lot of time. Let's go back first.”

Regirock waved its arms: “Regi—”

It wouldn't go back today. It wanted to arrange some stone furniture in the ruins! When you come back tomorrow, this place will definitely be very different!

——————

Somewhere in the forest.

Ursaluna slowly woke up from the darkness.

It had been defeated, beaten and forced to flee by that steel giant wielding a hammer, and finally collapsed here exhausted. The giant refused its request and told it—if you want it, come and get it yourself!

Clearly, it was the one with the type advantage, but the result was like this. Incomprehensible.

It was the same as when it faced the rock giant. However, at that time, it at least retained the dignity of "Mountain God" and left gracefully after being attacked by Stone Edge.

Ugh... Not enough strength. The steel giant's weapon was simply out of spec, and its moves were very strange!

The hammer forged from black gold could unleash fierce "Ki blasts." No, even the hammer itself had a similar power!

Accompanied by the power of flames summoned by strange light around it, the battlefield burned. Steel-type Pokémon were clearly afraid of fire, but this steel giant was very strange... In that case, it couldn't even engage in close combat.

If this continued, the Earth Plate would not be obtained, and the ancient land where it was born would continue to deteriorate.

There were still many Pokémon waiting for it—it had made a promise.

If the other party had a weapon, it must also have a weapon, but where could it find such a thing, and its claws couldn't grasp firmly.

Ursaluna observed the surrounding environment. The dark night couldn't block its vision. There was a cave nearby, which seemed to connect to distant mountains and plateaus. It walked straight in. Now, the most important thing was to have a place to rest.

Grumble... Ursaluna heard a sound—

【Go seek the help of the human craftsman. The craftsman is outside the forest. He can help you restore your home.】

“Roar?”

Ursaluna suddenly woke up, only to find a pale green light surrounding it.

Was this guidance from the forest god of the past or the future?

But how could it find that craftsman? The outside of the forest was also very big...

It keenly looked outside the cave and found that some Rock-type Pokémon were gathering in one direction and heard their voices.

The power of the earth was converging towards a ruin. It was becoming suitable for Rock-type Pokémon to live there. The legendary giant had attracted a strange human craftsman...

“Roar?”

Human, craftsman!

Then, the destination was clear... First, go to the ruins of Rock Mountain!
