Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

“So, what exactly happened? I didn’t manage to snag any charms again.”

In a ruin within the Paldea region, Reina looked dejectedly at her Rotom Phone, which displayed the Light Moss shop. Once again, the Cleanse Charms and Curse Charms that had been restocked were sold out!

She only managed to grab ten or so before they were gone!

“Who exactly is buying all these charms? I finally found a treasure trove of a shop, but now there’s a whole crowd of people snatching up these useful charms. Can’t those psychics just make their own?”

“Charms should be used correctly, by people like me, who frequently enter ruins to take away precious treasures, enduring the risk of various curses. Tomb raiding in ruins is life-threatening, so who is more suited to using these charms than I am?”

Beside the complaining Reina, Gengar and Zoroark were giggling. They were Reina’s Pokémon, and after following her into countless ruins, this was the first time they had seen her so frustrated.

“Gengar!”

Gengar patted Reina’s shoulder, indicating that this kind of thing was common!

Not being able to buy popular items isn't… Wait, you clearly managed to buy some!

“I only got a dozen or so. That’s not nearly enough. These charms are consumables that break after one use. Of course, I need to prepare hundreds of them, some ruins are filled with curses.”

Canalave City.

Cynthia, wearing a Cleanse Tag, handed it to an old woman—her grandmother, Professor Carolina.

“Oh, oh, it does resemble the craftsmanship of ancient amulets. The style of carving too… A pendant composed of an outer shell and a core. Could this be the true form of ancient amulets?”

Professor Carolina examined the amulet, then looked at Cynthia. “So, you plan to go to the Johto region for investigation soon?”

“Yes… But I need to handle some matters at hand first, so it will take some time. And it’s not just the Johto region, my ultimate destination is the Sinnoh Grand Underground.”

Cynthia said seriously, “That forgotten ancient land has similarities with ancient Sinnoh. I confirmed this in a conversation with Professor Rowan.”

“But before that, I want to conduct research on this pendant. The current conclusion is that this pendant is made of an undiscovered stone and a strange crystal. It slowly releases energy, which is very similar to the energy of Pokémon with the ability ‘Clear Body’.”

“Also, the strange patterns on the pendant seem to be guiding a mysterious energy.”

“If I go to Sinnoh Grand Underground, I will return as soon as possible. Team Galactic seems to be making some big moves. Although they haven't revealed anything yet, I feel they are plotting something. Speaking of which, this organization is a bit abnormal to begin with.”

“I saw in ancient documents that there seemed to be a Team Galactic with the same name in the past. I wonder if it has anything to do with the current Team Galactic.”

“Is that so? If you are going, take this with you.” Professor Carolina took out an amulet that looked similar to ancient amulets, but not quite the same.

“This is a charm passed down from the ancient Sinnoh era. It seems to have been made to pray to a certain god, using a now relatively rare sky blue jade stone.”

“It is an item called ‘Amulet Coin’.”

“In terms of carving technique, it also has some similarities to this Cleanse Tag.”

“If possible, invite him to Canalave City. He may be able to revive the lost ancient amulet manufacturing techniques of Canalave City.”

Cynthia nodded with a smile, “I understand, I will invite him.”

Professor Carolina suddenly thought of something and quickly added, “Oh, right, and that!”

“I saw something called ‘Double Pickles’ in his shop, but it has already been bought and is out of stock. If possible, please bring me back a serving? It would be even better if you could get the crafting process!”

“Oh, oh, Charcoal that is hotter than the charcoal from Azalea Town!”

“Able to increase the power of Fire-type Pokémon moves, Fire-type experts are buying it?”

Sinnoh region, Sunyshore City. A man with a red afro and wearing a yellow shirt was looking at the Light Moss shop interface. He was Flint, one of the Sinnoh Elite Four, and a Fire-type expert.

Although he was also interested in Shell Bells and Focus Sashes, what attracted him the most was the item called “Charcoal”!

“Able to increase the power of Fire-type moves, and if carried for a long time, it can make Fire-type Pokémon stronger. This is simply a special item tailored for me!”

“Electric-type items, Zap Plate…” Next to Flint was Volkner, the Gym Leader of Sunyshore City.

He had yellow hair and a blue shirt. He was Flint’s friend and had great strength.

“By the way, where did you find out about this shop?” Volkner asked Flint, who said casually, “Of course, I found it myself! I heard that the charcoal from Azalea Town in the Johto region is very famous, so I took the initiative to search.”

“How about it, not bad, right! Don’t be discouraged, the owner of this shop often restocks some strange items. Look at these strange Plates. I only heard that the Plates in the Hoenn region are very famous, but those Plates don’t seem to have so many unique abilities!”

“As long as my team is fully equipped with this Charcoal, my ranking in the Elite Four will advance again! Maybe I will have a chance to challenge the Champion! I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Just thinking about it makes me excited!”

Volkner was also stroking his chin and thinking, and soon pressed the order button.

These strange items really have to be bought. Although in terms of move enhancement, these Plates are far inferior to natural magnets, they have two additional effects.

“Zap Plate, when a Trainer or Pokémon blows it, they can sense electrical energy, which can better cultivate Electric-type Pokémon. In the electrical sensing state, they will not be hit by critical hits from opponents' moves.”

“Electrical energy, is it electricity in nature? If it can gather electricity, then the role of this Plate is indeed much more powerful than a magnet.”

“It is very suitable for cultivating Electric-type Pokémon.”

Just like Flint dreamed of challenging Cynthia and becoming the new Champion of the Sinnoh region, Volkner was also preparing to challenge the Elite Four, pull someone down and go up himself, but for a while, because the challengers were too weak, he had no fighting spirit.

But it doesn't matter, a few kids have come recently, and with their help, I have cheered up again.

As a Gym Leader, you still have to get used to the reality that the level of challengers varies. You should set your sights on a longer-term place!

Galar region, Motostoke Outskirts, Galar Mine No. 2.

A man with slightly gray hair was panting. Beside him was a long-bodied Pokémon that looked like a flaming centipede.

He was Kabu, the Gym Leader of Motostoke, and the Pokémon beside him was his partner, Centiskorch.

Centiskorch, a Fire/Bug-type Pokémon, has twelve segments like a centipede, is bright red, has a dark brown back, four burning flames on its head and tail, and yellow heaters on its abdomen, with a total of ten pairs of legs.

Because there are many Water-type Pokémon in Galar Mine No. 2, Kabu chose to train his Pokémon here. However, he had lost too many matches recently, and Kabu's mentality had changed somewhat.

Despite hard training, he was still defeated by challengers, partly because he let the challengers win, but even so, his Pokémon should not be so fragile.

“Kuu…” Centiskorch on the side was also in a somewhat low mood, and Kabu noticed this and immediately comforted him:

“It’s okay, old friend. We will continue to become stronger. The current failure is only temporary. Next time we will work harder.”

The latest novel is first published on Liｕ9Shｕbａ.Cｏm!

“Kuu!” Centiskorch nodded, it would continue, always believing in Kabu.

However, after Kabu comforted Centiskorch, he himself fell into confusion.

Is there a problem with my training methods and breeding methods? Maybe it’s not the Pokémon’s fault, but my fault.

“The method of cultivating Fire-type Pokémon…” With the mentality of giving it a try, Kabu opened his Rotom Phone.

A long time ago, when he was still a Trainer in the Hoenn region, he was taken care of by a Fire-type Elite Four member, from whom he learned many skills in cultivating Fire-type Pokémon.

Later, in order to embark on a stronger path, he left Hoenn and came to the distant Galar region to practice, and became the Gym Leader of Motostoke. Many years have passed in a flash.

Am I getting old? Are the past cultivation methods no longer working?

Kabu smiled bitterly in his heart and searched for breeding items related to Fire-type Pokémon on the Rotom Phone. Perhaps he should buy some more Charcoal to help his partners recently.

“Huh? What is this?”

“Charcoal?”

A strange store was searched by Kabu. There were not many goods in it, but they all had strange descriptions, which made people feel unreal, and one of them called Charcoal attracted Kabu's attention.

Charcoal from Azalea Town? By the way, speaking of which, isn't the most famous Charcoal the Charcoal from Azalea Town in the Johto region? Although Lavaridge Town in the Hoenn region also has similar Charcoal burning technology, it seems that the materials are very different, so there is a big difference in the effect.

“The power of Fire-type moves will be greatly increased. If Fire-type Pokémon carry it for a long time, the energy of Fire-type will gradually increase, and it can also stimulate the potential of Fire-type Pokémon.?”

“Is the Charcoal from Azalea Town so powerful?”

Kabu was a little confused and searched for other news about the Charcoal from Azalea Town, but unfortunately, the Charcoal shop in Azalea Town does not seem to have started doing online business and only sells offline.

With a try-it-out mentality, Kabu thought carefully and clicked to place an order.

Although the price is a bit expensive, if this Charcoal really has the effect written on it, it may really help him.

Johto region, in the Dragon's Den of Blackthorn City, a red-haired boy was also browsing Light Moss's shop through his Rotom Phone.

He was practicing with Pokémon in the Dragon's Den and searched for this shop selling battle items for some accidental reason.

After reading the product content of the shop, after a little thought, he bought "Double Pickles".

Unova region, Castelia City, Fashion Street Head Building.

Battle Company, 55th floor.

An old man dressed like a cleaner was looking through the Rotom Phone. He was the president of this Battle Company, named Shin'nosuke.

Originally, he just planned to search online for news about battles in order to better collect public battle data and feedback, so as to update a certain virtual battle software, but he didn't expect to find something interesting!

What exactly are the items in this online store?!

“Huhu, I found something more interesting!”
