Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

“In the Johto region, Janine, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City, is a famous psychic ‘ascetic.’ She possesses a unique ‘clairvoyance’ ability, allowing her to see things that others cannot. She is also responsible for guarding the Bell Tower and the Burned Tower, places where legendary Pokémon are said to reside.”

“If we ask her to conduct the experiment, we will surely obtain accurate conclusions. It's a pity that I'm not an expert in psychic abilities, so I can't participate in this matter.”

Professor Elm scratched his head, revealing an apologetic expression, while Professor Oak waved his hand:

“No, no, artisan items are not the focus of our research. Whether it's you, me, or Professor Cerise, these are the research areas for artisans and tech companies.”

Each region's professor has different primary research directions. Professor Oak's own research topic is “the relationship between Pokémon and humans,” and his discipline is linked to Pokémon behavior, ecology, ethics, attributology, and so on. The other professors are the same, not having much interest in supernatural matters.

Elm focuses on breeding, while Cerise, although interested in rocks, primarily researches meteorites, astronomy, and energy.

However, Professor Oak suddenly changed the subject:

“But, just like the Eviolite... in distant regions, there may be materials we have never seen before... This is not only limited to stones but may also be related to Pokémon.”

“For example, the Eviolite we just learned about, although it is a natural rock, it has a close connection with Pokémon evolution. Perhaps there are also such special stones in our region, but no one has discovered them yet.”

“Why not pay attention to this strange shop first? Maybe some rare materials will appear in the future that can help our research.”

Professor Oak's suggestion was approved, and Professor Cerise also stated that one of the Hoenn region's Elite Four might be interested in this kind of charm.

After the video call ended, Professor Oak in the Pallet Town laboratory looked at the “unique charm” in the shop, gradually recalling a familiar person in his mind.

There are also ghost-type experts in the Kanto region, but she and I don't have a good relationship.

Should I invite her to the laboratory?

No, I should forget it. If I ask her for help with research, I will definitely be scolded.

When Steven arrived in Vermilion City, Professor Cerise's “cross-regional discussion” had already ended.

“Oh! Mr. Steven, you're here! I'm really sorry to trouble you to come so far...”

“Not at all! After all, it's a rare stone!” Steven couldn't even exchange pleasantries and quickly asked, “So... Professor, that stone?”

“Why would the stone be with me? The stone is still in the Johto region.” Professor Cerise smiled wryly and then told Steven the content of their discussion. Steven was a little excited to learn that the source of the stone was not a common area.

He hadn't finished exploring the stones in the common areas, and there were countless secrets buried deep underground. He didn't expect the unknown regions to be full of surprises!

The content discussed after meeting was much more detailed than on the phone. Steven learned that the stone was now in the hands of a Gym Leader in the Johto region, and he had also heard of the name Bugsy.

“The youngest genius Gym Leader in the Johto region, I heard that his research on bug-type Pokémon is quite impressive, and he also discovered the move ‘Fury Cutter,’ distinguishing it from ordinary slashing moves.”

“I see, but since that stone was sold to him...” Steven pondered.

If he wanted to force a sale, he certainly had ample funds. He only needed to offer a normal price, and Steven believed that the other party would part with it.

But this would inevitably give people a bad impression of “throwing money at treasures,” so the proper way was to find the artisan.

And what if others find it useful and don't want to part with it? Then he would be quite embarrassed.

“This kind of stone may be related to Pokémon, so it is not a common geological rock but a special mineral produced in a specific environment.”

Steven spoke eloquently: “The special minerals we know that are related to Pokémon, such as Hard Stone, Mystic Water, and King's Rock, all have a strong relationship with Pokémon. And as we know, in the natural environment, their formation is mostly related to rock, water, and psychic Pokémon.”

As a professional gem collector, Steven also displays stones from many regions in his home in Mossdeep City, such as amphibolite excavated from Rock Tunnel in the Kanto region, flint excavated from Mt. Pyre in the Hoenn region, and hyaloclastite excavated from Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh region.

So Steven knows exactly which stones are abnormal and which stones have unique formation environments and conditions.

“I was originally going to Pewter City in the Kanto region in a few days. I heard that the science museum there discovered rare fossils, but now it seems that I may have to go to the Johto region first.”

Steven spread his hands: “Time is very tight, so I plan to go to Johto for a simple look first, and after the research in Pewter City is over, I will go to find that artisan.”

“In that case, why not pay attention to his shop?” Professor Cerise pulled up the previous store interface on the computer:

“It's a popular online store now, and there are some unique things in his store.”

“There are things about charms, Flannery of the Elite Four should be interested.”

Steven saw the things sold in the store interface. When he saw the props that could increase the power of moves and lock in life, including the Unique Charm and Spooky Plate, he began to think.

“This artisan seems to sell everything. Is his description authentic?”

“I'll send him an email to confirm it now, which seems more formal.”

Steven thought for a while, began to draft an email in Professor Cerise's laboratory, and sent it to Koki, and soon received a “reply.”

[Sorry, I'm not available right now, please contact me when I get back. - Auto Reply]

“.It's an auto-reply, that's right, this artisan must be collecting rare materials in the wild.”

Steven simply imagined it. Since he couldn't get an answer for the time being, he could only pay attention to Koki's shop, and then discuss with Professor Cerise whether the Eviolite is a new meteorite... At the same time, he sent Flannery a message saying “I found something good.”

June 19th.

After the dream event ended, Koki was busy planting and watering, and did not continue to touch the Symbol Stone Slab. The words of Walking Wake were also disassembled.

During this period, Koki picked up two herbs through the ability of "Leaf Traveler."

Both are white “White Herbs.” When the Pokémon carrying it has its abilities lowered, it can only return to its previous state once.

Koki drafted some travel plans, that is, to close the shop for a period of time after August to September, leave the Shinju region, and the first place to visit is Unova.

“Lostlorn Forest... I gradually have a feeling that it must be there.”

The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

“I need to go to Unova, but not now.”

Since the information said that they could meet, then they must be able to see each other again!

The Doublade that had evolved were not idle either. In addition to continuing to help clean up branches and collect wood, they were constantly training the “Substitute” and “Reflect” moves, occasionally interspersed with “Fury Cutter.”

It once made bold statements that weapons do not need defense, but now it has completely changed. What kind of knightly virtue, in Koki's opinion, this guy has a thirst for victory flowing in his bones.

What knight! Not a knight!?

Don't really practice some cancel Fury Cutter! This is really the awakening of previous life memories.

However, after evolving into Doublade, both consciousnesses believed that they were the original, and the opposite was a pirated version, and they would accuse each other, telling the opposite to not imitate their swordsmanship!

To be honest, Koki once thought, wouldn't Pokémon like Doublade have symptoms of schizophrenia?

Now it seems that there is already a bit of a sign!

“If I can find a Dusk Stone, I can let Doublade evolve directly into Aegislash, and the situation of consciousness separation will no longer occur.”

Koki thought so, but there is no clue about Dusk Stone... It seems that I can only pin my hopes on Volo who is running around everywhere?

And in this process, there was also a small episode.

Petilil: Honedge has become two, which one is the original Honedge? (。﹏。*)?

The sword on the left: I am the main body, I am Honedge! ゞ（⊙）╯╬!

The sword on the right: I am the main body, he is split! ゞ（⊙）╯╬!

Because of Petilil's curious words, the two swords began to fight each other. Koki quickly stopped them, otherwise Doublade would fight with themselves!

Although Petilil was very curious, she knew that she couldn't continue to ask when she saw this scene. She slipped into the medicine field and quickly dug a small hole to bury herself.

“Taking care of Pokémon is also a skill. Breeding is also very important in the Pokémon world... Will there be psychological problems?”

Koki thought so, so he paid special attention to Doublade.

And today, before processing the stones, Koki found another unread email in his inbox?

A wild new customer!

But the content he asked about also wants to buy an Eviolite?

“Is it introduced by Bugsy? It seems that he has already used that stone.”

Koki thought while replying to the email. First of all, of course, he told the other party that Eviolite is a precious stone and cannot be easily found, and he does not have a second one for the time being.

And even if there is a second one, Koki doesn't plan to sell it for a while, but to let Honedge... Oh, it should be Doublade, at least wear it for a while.

Koki thought for a while:

“Eviolite may be found in various regions. You can search in local caves or mountains. If a large number of Pokémon gather, it is possible to find this stone.”

There is indeed an Eviolite in the Hoenn region, but in the game, that stone is not in any terrain, but on a Magikarp angler who fishes by the water. He let Magikarp wear the Eviolite

In the game, there is only one way to find “Wild Eviolite.”

It is not purchased from the store or synthesized through a machine, but found in the trash can of the “Pokémon Village” where wild Pokémon gather in the 《X/Y》 version. At the same time, there is also one in Shalour City in the Kalos region, and the condition for obtaining it is also to discover more than a certain number of Pokémon before it will be given.

After replying to the other party's email, Koki looked at the store again and found that he had gained a few followers, and someone had placed an order for a unique Cleanse Tag and some Spooky Plates.
