Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Chapter 37: Effort from Knowledge + Sweat!

Accompanying the initial display of power, subsequent information gradually surfaced, completing the unclear effects of the craft.

『The ancient wood carving will respond to Pokémon of the corresponding image, and the same type of wood carving can only be wished upon once.』

『If the craftsmanship of the wood carving improves and unique wood is used, then the number of times a wish can be made, or the content of the wish, will also change.』

“The purpose of ancient wood carvings is... to boost Individual Values (IVs)!”

Koutai felt a little surprised, but thinking about how this thing also requires Relic Stones or Ancient Rocks to be inlaid, the surprise quickly faded.

As everyone knows, Pokémon have three types of data: base stats, individual values, and effort values.

Even in the real Pokémon world, effort values can be considered limitless... after all, if my Pokémon work especially hard, no one can say anything.

However, base stats and individual values cannot be changed. The former is a fixed ability of a Pokémon's entire species, and the latter is the inherent strength of an individual Pokémon, which cannot be changed.

Among players, the number 31 is commonly referred to as V, which means the maximum individual value.

In the entire world, if you want to improve the corresponding individual value ability, you can only carry out "Hyper Training", and you have to consume items called Silver Crown and Gold Crown.

“Not only that, but it’s increasing the Attack IV?”

The joy in Koutai's heart dissipated almost completely, and at this time, he realized that Petilil had made a wish, and as a result, her Attack IV was increased...

Koutai was a little dumbfounded.

Pokémon's own understanding of power is very simple, which is attack. Many of them can't distinguish between physical attack and special attack. Of course, there are also a few who can tell the difference, such as Team Rocket's Wobbuffet, who will choose different defenses based on the opponent's attack type.

“It seems that I still need to find some unique wood and carve a few more wood carvings.”

“Old wood, the same type of Pokémon can only wish on such wood carvings once, which means that even if a new wood carving is carved, there is no way to wish again. You must use wood carvings made of other wood to wish again.”

“Moreover, since the first time the Attack IV is increased, wouldn't it be better to directly go for the Hisuian form?”

The Attack IV is raised to the highest, but Petilil's own attack base stat is very low. Only by evolving into Lilligant in its Hisuian form, the Lady of the Mountain Path, can she possess powerful attack power.

Moreover, whether it is from moves, abilities, or versatility, Hisuian Lilligant is stronger than the original Lilligant!

“That’s right... if you want to reclaim your habitat, you have to evolve into a powerful form.”

“As for the ability issue, you can use items to change abilities to solve it, although you can't get it now, but there is no need to rush.”

“Peti~”

Petilil saw Koutai's expression change from happy to frowning. She didn't know what happened, but she felt that her power seemed to have increased significantly!

This feeling was wonderful! However, if she touched the sculpture again, or even made a second wish, the sculpture would not respond in any way.

Looking at Koutai again.

“Peti? (︵)?”

Did I make the wrong wish?

Petilil was a little confused.

Now that the wish has ended, the ancient power contained in this sculpture has been exhausted and can only be used to sell for some money.

“.Perhaps, wood carvings made of special wood can have a stronger power display effect, such as wood from Oak Tree Forest, Evergreen Forest, and Connecting Cave Forest.”

Koutai glanced at Petilil. She and Doublade were surrounding the wood carving, curiously poking it.

That’s right, Doublade also wants to, but Doublade's patterns are too complicated, Koutai is still quite afraid of trouble.

Before wishing for Doublade, it is necessary to popularize which abilities are important, which need to be improved first, and which abilities can be weaker...

“If you find stronger special wood for carving, can you increase two, three, or even all of the individual values to the maximum at once?”

“Hyper Training is a mechanism that only exists in the game. In reality, the Alola region probably doesn't have Hyper Training.”

Speaking of which, my wood carving is equivalent to the effect of Hyper Training and Silver Crown?

If so, this thing can sell very well.

Although most trainers probably don't know about individual values, because even the Pokédex can't read them, and individual values have never appeared explicitly in the anime world, there are some implicit expressions.

For example, Ash's Infernape. When it was still a Chimchar, the power of the flames displayed by its Blaze ability was extremely terrifying. It was precisely because of this that it was favored by Paul and captured.

Then it is very likely that Ash's Chimchar, its Attack and Special Attack individual values, had already reached the maximum when it was young.

Powerful individuals, coupled with powerful abilities, show extraordinary power, and then, plus unlimited effort.

Of course, reality cannot be completely applied to the game.

“Peti~”

“Dou! Douw!”

Petilil and Doublade's voices pulled Koutai back from his thoughts. Looking at the two Pokémon with some uneasy expressions, Koutai quickly squatted down:

“Sorry, sorry, I was just a little distracted.”

“Peti~!” Petilil was asking if it was because of the wood carving.

“The wood carving... can be considered a lucky hit. I am not angry, but rather looking forward to you becoming stronger.” Koutai stroked her leaves and encouraged her:

“You will become stronger, and then, fulfill your own wishes. Of course, I also need to get rewards in this process, and the stronger you become, the more rewards I will get.”

“Let’s work hard together.”

“Peti! Wow! o☆!”

Petilil's skirt swayed from side to side, like little fists, and her eyes became firm.

Become stronger, stronger!

In this passionate mood, the leaves on Petilil's head suddenly glowed. She recalled the brilliant sunlight that the wood carving condensed just now, which seemed to awaken some kind of power in her body!

The sun in the sky was also dazzling. After the rain, the plants would grow more lush and strong!

“Peti!”

Petilil suddenly shouted towards the sky. Then, a large amount of sunlight gathered above her head. The intense light seemed to form a sun, or a light curtain, reproducing the moment the sculpture showed its power!

The sunlight became stronger!

This is the move “Sunny Day”!

Immediately afterwards, the sunlight continued to gather on Petilil's head. A scorching heat formed a solar halo, enveloping Petilil in it. Koutai and Doublade retreated a certain distance, watching this scene with full attention!

The intense sunlight continued to gather, and after a period of charging, then——

Violently, it turned into a huge beam of light and burst out towards the sky!

Petilil learned the move “Solar Beam”!

“Sunny Day and Solar Beam are integrated. Pokémon who can master these two moves at the same time often learn Solar Beam after learning Sunny Day, but the reverse is not true!”

“The surge in individual values allowed her to master some extraordinary power, but even if the Attack IV is increased, can she also master Special Attack moves? Or is the original accumulation already sufficient, and now it is just breaking out.”

“Long-term battles have accumulated effort values, and this lush land is also helping her.”

Koutai glanced around his medicine field.

It is the effort of knowledge + sweat, and a little bit of catalyst from the item, that has achieved the current result.

This result is quite good!

However, all of this was seen by another Pokémon.

She saw Petilil learning Sunny Day and Solar Beam through work and training.

On the roof of the workshop, a grass-green Pokémon with small wings on its back appeared. She appeared quietly, flapping her small wings, and ripples of time emanated around her.

“Chii?”

She giggled. This workshop looks like a lot of fun!
