Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Johto region, New Bark Town.

Professor Elm also received a package from Sinnoh.

He purchased the Arceus sculpture because the workshop's description stated that this sculpture would bring a special effect to Pokémon hatching. As an expert in Pokémon breeding and Pokémon egg group research, after Professor Elm thoroughly researched the special phenomenon of Pokémon eggs, breeding centers in the Johto region and surrounding areas began offering the special service of 'raising Pokémon eggs'.

However, Pokémon eggs always appear suddenly, and even Professor Elm has never witnessed the moment a Pokémon egg is laid.

"What does it mean that the hatched Pokémon will be stronger and even have the opportunity to encounter unique new life? Does it mean a change in characteristics?"

The workshop's description was vague, and Professor Elm tried to inquire, but the reply he received was ["You will understand once it hatches"].

It seems like it will cause a very significant impact, which may be why there are only 3 of these sculptures. If the seller isn't a scammer, Professor Elm feels he should really thank his quick hands.

Fortunately, he has a batch of unique eggs here.

Of course, Professor Elm also knows that one of his colleagues, Professor Rowan from the Sinnoh region, also purchased this sculpture. He is also Professor Elm's senior, and Professor Elm learned his research on evolution and characteristics from Professor Rowan. Professor Elm had previously communicated with Professor Rowan, and according to Professor Rowan's speculation, this specially shaped Pokémon is likely related to the legends of the Sinnoh region.

Originally thought to be an original artistic image, but unexpectedly it is related to mythical unknown Pokémon... Moreover, even though Professor Elm knows nothing about sculpture art, he can feel the strong ancient atmosphere from the exquisite statue in front of him. If he listens carefully, there seems to be a faint sound of music, but if he concentrates slightly, the sound disappears, as if it were his illusion.

Ding ding—the video phone rang, and Professor Elm quickly answered. On the other end of the phone was his teacher, Professor Oak!

"Teacher, your call is perfectly timed. I'm about to hatch a new batch of Pokémon eggs."

Professor Elm greeted Professor Oak, who immediately became interested: "So, are you going to use that sculpture?"

The three unknown Pokémon sculptures were actually purchased by the three professors. The last sculpture was bought by Professor Oak.

["I also bought some other sculptures, but I've been busy recently, so I haven't had time to test their effects. I've already asked Professor Rowan about the unknown Pokémon sculpture. He seems to be having the Sinnoh Champion investigate this matter. She is an excellent archaeologist."]

["I plan to buy more props and then conduct a unified test all at once. To this end, I have also invited several very powerful trainers to help me..."]

"Ahem! In short, let me see what happens when the new Pokémon eggs hatch. This is also a test."

Professor Oak said, but his expression was a little strange, but Professor Elm didn't notice it. Instead, he excitedly connected the video of the video phone remotely to the PokéGear so that Professor Oak could remotely observe this batch of eggs that were about to hatch in all directions.

Professor Elm came to the hatching device and explained to Professor Oak: "This is a batch of 'first partner' eggs, namely Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile eggs."

The so-called first partners refer to the Pokémon that new trainers receive when they embark on their journey, usually given by the professor of the laboratory. They have many characteristics such as fast growth and strong abilities. The first partners selected by research institutes in all regions are carefully selected, and some first partners are also cultivated by the League or the professors themselves and distributed uniformly to new trainers who wish to receive Pokémon.

However, their wild populations can still be found in the wild.

As an expert in egg group research, Professor Elm is naturally one of the best breeders. The Pokémon eggs he owns are all cultivated in his laboratory. Now, in the three hatching devices, three eggs are quietly waiting for the moment of hatching. From the fluctuations of the instrument, it can be identified whether the Pokémon egg is about to hatch.

"According to my recent research, I have discovered that before hatching, some Pokémon can actually see the outside world and perceive our existence... Now, I am going to place this sculpture between the three Pokémon eggs."

Professor Elm nervously waited for the hatching moment to come, but when it hatches is entirely up to the Pokémon's own will. The hatching device can only play a helping role and cannot make choices for the Pokémon.

Professor Oak also knew that this was a long process, so he waited with a serious face, but in the next moment, the Arceus statue emitted a faint light!

This sudden abnormal change surprised both professors!

"That sculpture...! It emitted light!"

Along with the shining of the light, the three Pokémon eggs placed in the hatching device also lit up. That change was undoubtedly a sign of imminent hatching!

"Three eggs, at the same time?!"

Professor Elm's assistant was also checking the instrument. Professor Elm only has one assistant, so the two of them are often very busy. At this time, the assistant's expression was quite shocked because there were violent fluctuations on the instrument!

"The hatching process is quite violent, completely different from before! Professor!"

"Carefully observe the changes in the instrument and gradually adjust the power to a safe threshold!" Professor Elm stared nervously at the three eggs, and Professor Oak on the other end of the video phone also had a serious face.

The light on the three eggs gradually became stronger, and as the power of the hatching device decreased, the appearance of the three eggs also began to change!

There are two types of Pokémon hatching processes: one is to break out of the egg, and the other is to directly transform into a new life with the egg. What is happening now is the latter!

"Chigu?"

"Hey Nong...?"

"Wawani!"

The three Pokémon hatched at the same time, turning into Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile in the strong light!

Among them, on Chikorita's body, bright stars appeared to flicker for a moment!

At the same time, Professor Elm immediately discovered that these three Pokémon appeared very large in the hatching device. They were larger individuals compared to their own kind!

In nature, the larger the Pokémon, the stronger its competitiveness among its own kind, which means that their strength and speed far exceed other individuals of their kind. However, Pokémon cultivated in research institutes rarely show differences in large and small sizes, because the hatching conditions provided in the institute are similar, and the probability of hatching particularly strong individuals is very low.

But now, these three are obviously different from the ones hatched before!

"How could this be? This is an amazing change! Quickly open the hatching device!" Professor Elm asked his assistant to open the device and walked forward. Facing the three curious Pokémon, Professor Elm's eyes immediately locked on Chikorita!

The color of Chikorita's leaf is different, no, the color of its body is also different!

"Chigiguchigugu?" Chikorita looked at Professor Elm with some doubts, and Professor Elm was extremely excited!

"This is, a unique new life?!"

A shiny Pokémon hatched!

On the other end of the video phone, Professor Oak was also surprised and muttered to himself: "A different colored Pokémon..."

"It was also discovered before!" Professor Elm quickly interjected: "In a normal natural environment, the probability of different colored Pokémon appearing is very low, and there is no regularity when they appear. The Team Rocket previously created a red Gyarados through special experiments in the Lake of Rage. At that time, the research believed that the red Gyarados retained the color of Magikarp, but later golden Magikarp individuals were discovered, and they could also become red Gyarados through normal evolution."

Professor Oak pondered: "Yes, yes, Pokémon of different colors have indeed been discovered in the Orange Islands. They are changes caused by changes in the natural environment. Those Pokémon are between different colors and regional forms."

"However, the function of this sculpture has been verified. There is no doubt that it is of considerable importance to the research on hatching, breeding, and egg groups!"

Professor Elm forcibly calmed his excited mood: "After this batch of Pokémon hatches, they will soon be handed over to new trainers for use. I have to hurry up and study them!"

"Research on the sculpture..."

"Oh, then leave it to me." Professor Oak was also very interested: "What kind of power influenced the color of the Pokémon and made them stronger? Before hatching, the sculpture emitted light, as if it was telling us in advance that a new life was about to be born. It should have affected the surrounding hatching environment, which led to this situation..."

"Yes... Things related to mysticism are incomprehensible to science. Similar situations have happened many times in this world..."

Professor Oak said, and his eyes also changed, as if he had thought of some distant memories.

The latest novels are first published on Liu99Shuba!

Sinnoh, Traveler's Workshop.

Hikari tapped off the pop-up customer window and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Some old customers who have bought goods, and some new customers, have given me valuable suggestions!

"Ice-type items, Never-Melt Ice and Snowball? But I don't know where to get them. Climbing the ancient sacred mountain is too dangerous."

"Plushies can indeed be tried to make, Substitute Doll and Clefairy Doll? I still have some materials here, it should be enough."

"Eerie paper, this is a good idea. I really didn't think about using paper as a spooky item. Maybe it will create unexpected things, like the cursed email sent by the Ancient Explorer's Gengar? In that case, I should let Doublade also learn modern writing... No, or it would be better to write books in ancient characters, which can also increase the mystery! Now put the paper in my warehouse into the fourth room for spooky immersion. Wrap it in spooky cloth and let Doublade process it, it should be able to make spooky paper faster."

"Painting and decorating carpets, wallpapers, tea sets, psychic glass whistles. My painting level is still somewhat different from my sculpting level, but if it is drawn in the style of ruins, it might work!"

"Musical instruments, I haven't made them, but maybe I can try it through forging technology. The materials needed are brass, or Bronzor fragments? I don't know if I can buy them."

Although Bronzor is not a rare Pokémon, most of them gather in ancient ruins or abandoned buildings and ancient tombs, so they are not so easy to encounter.

"In that case, I need to buy a lot of various props and materials from the outside world. I have made a lot of money recently, so I will use it all!"

Hikari began searching for necessary props and materials on the computer. Some Pokémon materials can be purchased online, such as Wigglytuff's fur, which is a high-end Pokémon material that can be made into high-end yarn, so there are specialized ranchers who raise them. But some are not, and the rarer ones are even more difficult to obtain.

"Recent income has accumulated about 3,000,000 through selling sculptures and various props."

Some sculpture prices are not uniform, some are cheap and some are expensive, plus the inventory is different. Among them, the Arceus sculpture brought Hikari a revenue of 600,000, and other sculpture products add up to about 1,500,000.

The rest, the two types of charms, battle items, light pottery, lure foods... these are also 1,000,000.

"At the same time, there is also some unrecorded income. Ghetsis's and Mustard's sculpture products are not included, and they can only be recorded after receiving the goods."

"Buying various Pokémon materials, as well as common ores, cotton for filling plushies..."

"Cotton, Whimsicott's cotton is a specialty of Unova."

"Minerals, Galar's mines are rich in brass, and high-quality minerals related to Copperajah."

"For painting, Smeargle's tail paint from the Johto region is top-quality!"

"Fabrics, the yarn woven from Wigglytuff's fur in the Kanto region is the highest-grade product."

These Pokémon are very common, living with humans for a long time, and have a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship with humans, so they can be purchased online with a little search. However, because high-end products are very expensive, Hikari's funds quickly shrank.

"Just buying more of these four materials cost 1,880,000, now there are 1,500,000..."

"Alto Mare's artistic scrolls and stained glass, Undella Town's unique musical instruments, Rota's retro-style crafts and clothing, Hoenn's volcanic ash..."

"Spending 1,100,000, as expected, the price of artworks is really not cheap."

Hikari looked at her balance. Although there was still about 400,000 left, it was enough to buy some extra materials.

It's just that the next time Charizard and the others send things over, it should be very hard!
