Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Back in the workshop with the lumber, Komorebi saw a dozen or so new orders on the computer as soon as he returned. Someone had even cleared out the entire stock of sculptures, making him very happy.

Not only that, but several people had requested custom sculptures.

【Avant-Garde Art】, 【Gible Senpai】, 【Snowy Doll】, 【Pokémon Observer】.

"These IDs are quite unique. They want sculptures of Sudowoodo, Gible, Lapras, Shellder, Dewgong, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle?"

"In that case, the remaining ruin stones aren't enough. I need to find more ruins."

"Everything is moving in a good direction. Thank you, Arlo! You must have helped promote me!"

"As expected, having a Gym Leader as a customer is very convenient."

Whether it was active or passive promotion, the products had begun to sell, and sales were steadily increasing!

However, sculptures are fragile items. But even if my sculptures are damaged, it's not a problem; they can still function normally unless they're completely smashed to pieces, or the head is broken off to the point where you can't recognize the original Pokémon. Otherwise, a missing hand or tail isn't a big deal, just a minor fatal wound.

It just makes them look a little uglier.

Komorebi had already tested this, damaging a sculpture in the process. Fortunately, the ruin stone part of the sculpture could still be reused, so only a normal stone material was ultimately damaged.

Of course, Komorebi would take protective measures before transporting them. Some stone sculptures are carved in separate pieces and then assembled, making them easier to transport and reducing the damage rate.

When transporting stone sculptures, it's best to fill the crate with plenty of foam sponges and cotton to keep them as stable as possible during transport.

So Komorebi applied for large-item shipping this time.

A single stone sculpture figurine is indeed a small item, but all together, they become a large item.

However, he didn't have any foam sponges or cotton here, so he needed to buy a batch from somewhere else before shipping, and then use them to package the stone sculptures, which would also facilitate his future shipping process.

That Charizard was going to be busy!

"Shipping locations are Violet City, Oreburgh City, Sinnoh Battle Zone, Seven Islands, Azalea Town... Huh, and Artazon, a Paldian order?"

"A wild customer has appeared!"

After contacting the Pokémon Center in Black City, Komorebi and Doublade went to process the lumber they had brought back.

Doublade used Double Cut again, continuously splitting some of the wood into neat firewood. They carried the firewood into the cottage and stacked it in the corner and in the warehouse. Petilil also came to help in the process, and to Komorebi's surprise, her small body seemed to contain great strength.

She easily carried the firewood on her head, and although the leaves on her head were flattened, they would return to their original shape as soon as she put down the wood.

"Peti~" Petilil rolled up her little skirt, indicating that she felt full of power since the last prayer.

The increased Attack Individual Values also increased her strength.

After processing some of the firewood, dusk unknowingly arrived. Seeing that there was still a lot of wood left on the cart, Komorebi decided to turn the remaining wood into charcoal.

The process of making charcoal is quite simple, but the simpler something is, the harder it is to do it well. The difference between high-quality charcoal and low-quality charcoal is obvious at a glance, so Komorebi still needed to make sufficient preparations.

Although he could probably find charcoal in the village, it might not be what he wanted, and ordinary charcoal isn't a rare material; it's just a common fuel.

It was already late today, so he had no choice but to work tomorrow.

At the same time, Komorebi changed the word in the house to "Celebi."

A strange feeling filled the inside and outside of the house. The workshop seemed to come alive, and this vibrant power visibly changed the surrounding plants!

Komorebi came outside and found that the biggest change wasn't in the herbs and crops, but in the fruit trees!

The fruit trees had only sprouted small buds, and just by changing the word to Celebi, those buds had visibly grown taller!

According to the steps in the game, fruit trees generally go through seven stages from "planted", "sprouted", "growing", "getting taller", "budding", "flowering", to "fruiting", but in the warm and humid Hoenn region, it only takes five stages to complete the entire process from planting to fruiting!

"It went directly from the sprouting stage to the growing stage!"

"I see, the effect of the word Celebi is 'growth stage skip'... Is that it?"

Komorebi was quite surprised. Looking at the other herbs and crops, they had also grown to varying degrees, basically skipping an entire growth stage.

Especially the Rolla Berries, which were almost half a meter tall and needed to be trellised.

This is really convenient! It can greatly reduce the growth time of plants!

"Peti~" Petilil also looked at what was happening in front of her in disbelief. She didn't know what Komorebi had done, but the surrounding plants seemed to have skipped an entire growth stage. Her little head didn't understand the current situation at all!

Doublade floated out, proudly stating:

See, that's the power of special items, and it helped process that strange stone tablet!

However, this wasn't boasting, but a real achievement!

Petilil was immediately surprised, then happily shook the leaves on her head, but suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and her happy mood gradually disappeared, becoming somewhat lost.

With such a powerful force, she really didn't need to help take care of the land.

Then, what about the promised work and the reward for completing the work?

"Yo!"

Doublade saw her melancholy and patted her leaves with both ribbons, while looking at Komorebi.

"The power of items is only temporary. If the words on the stone tablet change, it will lose this power. And a true planting master can grow plants lush and strong without any tools."

Komorebi also squatted down and stroked Petilil's leaves:

"You don't have to worry, just do your normal work. Like I said, the stone tablet can't stay still forever. It's just an aid when planting the land, not the core of the work."

"The knowledge gained through work is the right way to become stronger. Even if the first planting ends immediately, there will be a second and third planting, right? No power can be used without limit."

Komorebi's comfort made Petilil happy. She jumped in place and hugged Komorebi's palm, and her mood became better again.

"It's going to be very busy these days! Let's all work hard."

Komorebi entered the workshop in a happy mood, and Doublade and Petilil greeted each other and returned to the house.

Petilil still liked to stay in the soil. In the past two days, as the surrounding herbs, crops, and even tree fruits gradually sprouted and grew, the vitality of this land became richer, especially after the recent event.

When the land was completely quiet, and all the people and Pokémon had fallen asleep.

A strange Pokémon flew down from the roof and landed in the herb field. She waved towards the forest, and a Turtwig cautiously came to this land from the forest.

"Na!"

Turtwig was surprised to feel the rich vitality in this land and saw Petilil sleeping not far away, and his expression became quite happy.

This is really a good place!

The grass-green Pokémon patted her chest with a proud look!

"Shi!"

How about it, I didn't lie to you, the land here is really good!

I am the god of the forest, I won't lie to Pokémon!

If you are still worried about being discovered, you can just come here every night to rub the land!

"Na."

Turtwig was a little embarrassed, feeling that this kind of rubbing behavior was not good, but considering that if she was discovered, the plants on her body would definitely be pulled clean, she immediately put down her own quality.

Just come later at night and leave earlier in the morning, so you won't be discovered.

And if Komorebi woke up at this time, he would find that the Pokémon leading Turtwig, this Pokémon that suddenly appeared in the herb field, was Celebi, the mythical Pokémon unique to the Johto region, revered as the god of the forest!

Celebi's upper body is light green and the lower body is grass green. The head is round and converges in an arc at the back of the head and ends in grass green, looking like an elongated onion head.

It has a pair of wings on its back, green antennae with blue tips on its forehead, light blue eyes and thick black eye circles.

"Bi!"

Celebi looked at the surrounding herbs, comforted Turtwig, and watched Turtwig hide in a piece of land nearby, then used its superpowers to fly into Komorebi's house, where it saw various strange materials and the sculptures displayed around the workbench and on the ground.

The Arceus statue stared at Celebi, as if playing some kind of ancient music in its ears.

"Bi?"

Some wonderful scenes appeared in Celebi's eyes, which seemed to be the scenery that existed on this land a long time ago. Celebi looked at the sculptures.

These sculptures gave it the feeling of the stone statues that people used to carve for themselves.

In Ilex Forest, there is also a shrine, and the sculptures inside are left over from a long time ago, and in more distant forests, I have also stopped, and many people have carved sculptures for themselves.

They have unique powers, just like the stone statue in the forest, which can make the trees become rich.

By the way, the prototype of that stone statue is the Petilil outside?

I see, if it is this person, maybe he can help me repair the damaged shrine!

The ancient shrine left by the people of God. The shrine that has long been damaged deep in the forest.
