Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Celebi's statue possesses the special abilities of move recall and immunity from attacks by Pokémon in the forest, making it incredibly practical!

Koutai simultaneously recalled the "Celebi: A Timeless Encounter" movie. In that movie, when Ash and his friends entered the forest with Celebi, they weren't attacked by Pokémon. Pokémon, led by Ursaring, even guided them.

Celebi, known as the guardian of the forest, is revered by all Pokémon and has left behind unique legends throughout many eras.

As for recalling moves, Pokémon in the real world rarely forget moves they've learned, but similar situations do occur.

For example, 'moves that can be learned before evolution but not after.'

"Shi!"

Celebi stroked her statue, appearing very happy!

At the same time, she also sensed an inexplicable power within the statue. Although she couldn't understand it, it seemed to have a deep connection with her.

It's very similar to the statues that people in ancient times carved for me!

Afterward, she flew around Koutai's workshop, poking here and touching there. She saw some moss growing in flowerpots and reached out to touch it.

Koutai immediately received feedback.

[Rare Material: Lumimoss.]

[Description: A one-time-use luminescent moss. If a Pokémon carrying it is attacked by a Water-type move, its Special Defense will increase.]

[Acquired Knowledge: 1]

[Moss Master: Transplanting Lumimoss onto a stone has a chance to turn that stone into a 'Moss Rock'.]

『Celebi completed a crafting task, gaining experience and growth!』

『Learned move: Helping Hand.』

Well, I harvested myself.

Koutai muttered to himself.

Most of the names of people in the Pokémon world come from plants, and he is no exception. Koutai is a type of moss, and also a battle item. For some Pokémon weak to Water, this glowing moss can effectively help them resist Water-type Pokémon's attacks.

"If I transplant it onto a Pokémon like Onix, maybe they won't be afraid of Water anymore. What should I call that Pokémon then? Moss Onix?"

"If a regular Onix has a layer of moss on it, will it develop a Grass-type as a result of living like that for a long time?"

While thinking this, Koutai completed another crafting task—this was thanks to Celebi's help. Moss cultivation was completed!

Acquired new material clues!

[Rare Material: Sapling from a unique forest.]

[Acquisition Location: Azalea Town/Eterna Forest/Lostlorn Forest/White Forest/Ilex Forest/Slumbering Weald]

[Corresponding Craft: Unique tree cultivation.]

"Bi!" Celebi was very happy looking at the glowing moss pot. She seemed carefree, with nothing able to make her unhappy.

As for the Plate of Origin and the Arceus statue, she had quietly looked at them last night!

"Rabi!" Celebi pointed at the glowing moss pot, expressing her wish.

After restoring the shrine, she hoped to transplant these glowing mosses onto it as decoration.

Koutai didn't expect her to have such a request, but it was a good thing. Having moss as decoration would make the shrine seem more ancient and sacred. So, he gave Celebi a thumbs up:

"That's a great idea!"

"Bi!" Celebi stroked her chest, looking very proud.

Koutai also laughed:

"It seems you're very satisfied with my craftsmanship. Then, tomorrow we'll go help you restore the shrine. After all, you've helped me a lot."

"But to bring out the ancient carving and relic carving skills, I still need ancient rocks or stones from ruins. I'm almost out of stones from the Sinjoh Ruins."

Koutai scratched his head. Although relic stones were the easiest to obtain, he didn't have a convenient means of transportation. Going to the Sinjoh Ruins too many times might make Grandpa Hiker and Looker think he was going there to stock up.

"Do you know any place with ancient rocks or ruin stones?"

Faced with Koutai's question, Celebi put her little hand on her chin, tilted her small head slightly, and a look of recollection appeared in her eyes.

Soon, she happily shouted!

"Shi!"

Yes, there's a ruin!

In the northwest of the Sinjoh Forest, there's a collapsed and broken ruin. It's not a particularly important ruin, and there's nothing inside, just some strange stones.

As for the reason for the collapse, it seems to be due to Pokémon battles?

That ruin has been collapsed for quite some time!

"Rabi!"

Celebi described the situation of the ruin in detail, while Doublade translated on the side, and Petilil swayed its leaves, thinking about how it should fight those Electrode if it encountered them in the forest.

In the Sinjoh Forest, powerful Pokémon divide up territories among themselves. If another Pokémon invades their territory, a battle will break out. It's normal for an unlucky ruin to be damaged in the battle.

As for ancient rocks, Koutai himself didn't know what kind of stones counted as ancient rocks. Was it based on geology?

If so, there would be too many stones that could be called ancient. Is a thousand-year-old rock an ancient rock? What about rocks that are a billion or ten billion years old?

However, the Pokémon world doesn't seem to have existed for that long.

"In any case, let's go take a look at the ruins tomorrow!"

With Celebi's statue, Koutai could safely venture deep into the forest. The wild Pokémon wouldn't attack him. This was much better than the Cleanse Tag!

The Cleanse Tag could drive away weak Pokémon, but it would lose its effect on powerful, higher-level Pokémon.

At this time, Celebi suddenly said:

"Bi!"

Many Pokémon in the Sinjoh Forest have been restless recently and have left their habitats.

"Eh? Is that so?" Koutai thought of the Scyther incident the village had mentioned, but Celebi patted her small chest, with an expression that said it was no problem:

"Shi, Bibi, Rabi!"

It's okay, it'll be fine if you go in with me, those Pokémon won't attack us!

She raised her head, puffed out her small chest, and was different from the Celebi that Koutai remembered from the anime.

Could this Celebi's personality be 'Hasty' or 'Adamant'?

Koutai took out a Pecha Berry to treat Celebi. She took it and ate it happily, not seeming unhappy at all. But when Koutai handed her a Wiki Berry, Celebi shook her head.

The latest chapters can be found on Liǔ.jiǔ.shū.bā.!

Wiki Berries can restore one-third of maximum health, but if a Pokémon that dislikes spicy flavors eats it, it will become confused.

"I see, the personality is Adamant."

No wonder she came to approach him on her own initiative. Generally speaking, these Mythical Pokémon don't like to be close to people, but if the personality is Adamant, this type of Pokémon likes to try everything.

"Shi?"

Celebi flew to the workbench at this time, eating a Pecha Berry while tiptoeing to poke Koutai.

Are there any other materials needed?

After Doublade's translation, Koutai thought for a moment:

"Can you get me a sapling from Azalea Town?"

In the Johto region, the best trees are the ones from Azalea Town. Koutai had cut down many trees on the outskirts of the Sinjoh Forest, but hadn't triggered any crafts. So, he wanted to cultivate a tree from Azalea Town to see what was so magical about it.

Even the charcoal burned from the wood of Azalea Town had incredible special effects.

And now, it was time to use the craft he had obtained.

"Shi~"

A sapling from Azalea Town?

Of course, there's no problem!

Celebi patted her chest again, indicating that she had no problem handling it. Although the Celebi enshrined in Azalea Town wasn't her, all Celebi could use the shrines in various places to travel through time, so there was no problem!

As she said this, she quickly flew outside the house, and under the gaze of Koutai and the two Pokémon, she performed a time jump!

The light of time and space flowed, and soon she returned, using her psychic powers to control a sapling from Azalea Town, which landed in front of Koutai!

"Shi!"

Celebi smiled, then proudly raised her head.

Time travel, amazing, right!

I can directly travel from here to Azalea Town, then pluck a sapling and come back directly! Because Azalea Town also has a shrine, so I can go there directly!

"R-really amazing!"

Although he had seen it countless times in the game, the feeling of seeing it with his own eyes was still different, so Koutai's compliment was sincere!

And Celebi was even more proud!

Koutai touched the sapling from Azalea Town, and information instantly flooded his mind:

[Rare Material: Sapling from Azalea Town.]

[Description: A unique sapling from Azalea Town. Although the entire forest is made up of Azalea trees, you can't find this type of tree anywhere else. After the sapling grows into an Azalea tree, it can be used to burn the highest quality 'charcoal'. In the shaded area covered by the canopy of the Azalea tree, time is regarded as 'night'.]

[Acquired Crafts: 2]

[Unique Charcoal Burning Craft (C-): Gained the technical knowledge to burn the highest quality charcoal. Charcoal burned from the wood of Azalea Town will have special effects.]

[Unique Sapling Cultivation Craft (C+): Saplings obtained from specific forests can be planted in any area while retaining the unique effects of the original forest.]

Two crafts related to trees, which he had foreseen when he found the clues before.

So, it turns out it can be like this!

Koutai had previously discovered that both of the material clues spawned by Celebi had the option of Azalea Town. He didn't expect that the idea that one craft corresponds to one material was actually incorrect. Some materials may correspond to two or even more crafts, but they require a more clever way to trigger them.

However, even if he didn't get the second craft now, he could still get it if he went to other forests. The crafts won't run away, and neither will the materials.

"I thought today's work would be less, but now it seems like it will be more!"
