Chapter 224

"Thank you for your guidance, Nari, I learned a lot again."

By evening, Nari, who was helping to watch the shop, was ready to leave with her Scizor. After a whole day of teaching, Nari and her Pokémon learned very important knowledge, mainly about how to strengthen the power of the Steel type; Dou Jianqiao had quite a lot of insights on this.

Dou Jianqiao had a look of relief that "it's finally leaving"; after Xiang Guangtai came back, it immediately expressed that children are really hard to take care of.

Mainly because Nari had too many questions; after discovering that Dou Jianqiao could write, it was like discovering a new world, turning from a silent state to enthusiasm, constantly asking Dou Jianqiao about various living states and "feelings" as a Steel-type Pokémon.

"For humans, Pokémon that can communicate are very precious, because they can get more real information and data from the Pokémon side, but Nari is not a researcher; if it were Professor Oak or Professor Elm, they would probably ask you more questions."

"However, Castelia City is already undergoing rectification, and the school will probably resume classes soon, right."

"Yes." Nari pushed her glasses: "The school sent a message, but it will take a few days for the time being, and classes will resume only after confirming that all the Plasma Society people have left Castelia City."

"Give... uh." Dou Jianqiao didn't have an opinion on Nari; after all, this kind of Steel-type fanaticism had also been seen in a certain rock expert; little Nari would probably have a lot of common language with Steven.

"Steven Stone, I've heard this name." Nari pondered slightly: "The Hoenn region champion, I heard he is a top trainer of the Steel type... but Nari, my strength is too weak, and I have to go to school, I can't go out to travel."

Although she really wanted to go to Hoenn to see the real masters of the Steel type, it's a pity that Nari follows the academy stream, not the wild trainer stream like Ash; a big problem with the academy stream is that there is no way to travel freely.

Of course, except for Paldea Academy, after all, it is a senior old school with 800 years of history, with unique educational concepts and advanced educational methods, which can allow students to run out to hunt for treasure freely; although basic courses also need to be learned in spare time, it is freer than other academies.

Oh, right! Dou Jianqiao reminded Xiang Guangtai.

A strange person came today too!

"Strange person? Isn't it someone who came to find their Pokémon?"

"Give... uh (not looking for)."

Unlike other people who came here to find their Pokémon partners, that person was tall, also had black skin, but wore a white trench coat, wore a white hat, and the trainer type was Gentleman!

Gentleman, first seen in the first generation, and a group of unique trainers that exist in every region; these trainers have one thing in common—after defeating them, they will pay a large amount of money!

Dou Jianqiao handed Xiang Guangtai a card, which was blue all over and looked quite high-end, and it was written with the word "Blueberry Academy"!

【That old gentleman called himself Drayton, he had a battle with little Nari, I don't know the result, because I stayed here to watch the shop... He said he wanted to fight me at first, but considering that little Nari commanding me was a bit difficult, so I refused.】

【However, the old gentleman seemed very happy, inviting little Nari to go to Blueberry Academy to study after she was old enough, and claimed that he would help with the admission procedures or something, and also said that he saw a very powerful trainer on the news and came to find you, just happened to be working in Castelia City or something...】

【It seems he wants to invite you to be some kind of teacher? It's really strange, don't you need to pass a qualification certificate to be a teacher in human society?】

Dou Jianqiao retold what happened this afternoon, and Nari also said on the side: "... Although I don't know what Dou Jianqiao is saying, it's probably about the visit of Principal Drayton this afternoon."

"Nari lost again, but Nari is not discouraged, because the principal is very strong, Nari is still very young, and one day I will be stronger than the principal."

"Oh, that's it, winning is a simple thing, but only when you lose is it a test of yourself. Every failure can summarize things, so you can become stronger and stronger."

Drayton, founder and principal of Blueberry Academy, sister school of Paldea Academy, is still in preparation and construction, and is an old friend of Principal Clavell of Paldea Academy.

However, the principal of Paldea Academy now shouldn't be Clavell; the old principal who runs around in Scarlet/Violet should still be a researcher now?

Looking at it this way, the old gentleman Drayton should also have been a researcher, otherwise he wouldn't be able to design something as exaggerated as the Terarium.

Nari:

"Principal Drayton came here also for you, big brother, he hopes you will be a teacher at the new academy, and said that he will come again soon... He is also very busy."

"Blueberry Academy seems to be looking for some trainers with potential and enough experience... not only to let them be teachers and staff, but also to pick some talented people to enroll."

"Principal Drayton promised to let me enroll in advance, but I don't think it's necessary; after failure, I am more convinced of this point, there are still many things to learn."

"Ah, big brother, you probably don't know, in fact, this kind of thing is very common in Unova; the Opelucid Academy in Opelucid City is like this, Mayor Drayden is both a Gym Trainer and a principal."

"He will go to various cities and regions to find talented children, and then bring them back to Opelucid Academy to teach; that academy is currently the largest in the Unova region, and also the school with the strongest faculty."

It's really troublesome to be on TV; even late-stage characters like Drayton have refreshed.

"I don't have the idea of being a teacher for the time being, I'll refuse him next time he comes."

"And I don't have a qualification certificate, and besides, aren't teachers usually transferred from researchers or researcher assistants? I'm just an outsider trainer."

Want to trick me into brushing Blue Quests?

Goodbye!

However, speaking of Blueberry Academy, the most commendable thing should be the "Terarium Core" that changes the environment.

But that thing hasn't been made yet; Briar, who is responsible for designing the Terarium Core, should still be conducting ecological surveys in various places; that thing won't even start to be made until the timeline of the Scarlet/Violet plot.

"Absorbing different people and things, using everyone's strength, Unova as one, this is the Unova spirit." Nari pushed her glasses: "Principal Drayton said so."

"As for teachers, in fact, many excellent trainers will also be recruited exceptionally, the qualification certificate can be supplemented later, and if it is a trainer who has participated in the Alliance Conference and even won a ranking, then there is no need for this thing at all."

"Gym badges from various places are essentially a kind of qualification recognition..."

Nari and Xiang Guangtai talked carefully about what happened today, most of the Pokémon were sent back, the room suddenly became deserted, and then she left; of course, she will continue to come to "learn" tomorrow.

After she left, the Entree Forest sent a message.

That was an extra reward given to Xiang Guangtai for his work today.

Release Orb x2.

"Two?"

Xiang Guangtai held the silver-white jade ball that suddenly appeared in his hand, feeling that the Entree Forest was a bit stingy.

And the Entree Forest seemed to feel Xiang Guangtai's doubt and helplessly sent a note message.

【Note: The production of Release Orbs requires human will; now the willpower is insufficient, and it is impossible to produce too many Release Orbs... Please keep working hard.】

【Note 2: The will of the people is gathered on the Entree Forest, and the resonance of this will will become the power of transmission to help everyone, therefore, if people's will is weak, it is impossible to give birth to Release Orbs as prizes.】

【Note 3: The will of life in Unova is united, which will make the Entree Forest grow continuously, slowly, constantly responding to everyone's will and growing; if the will is insufficient and people's hearts are scattered, the Entree World will present the appearance of ruins.】

"So that's how it is, speaking of which, I feel a bit ashamed, feeling like I'm squeezing you..."

【Note 4: Meet many adventurers, hone yourself, listen carefully to people's will, and the Entree Forest will listen together.】

【Note 5: Wanting to leave a good impression on people, wanting to get some reward, even if you harbor such selfishness, it can also be a reason to help others, because this is the right thing to do, and the true meaning of Entree lies here. Although it is a small help, sometimes it can change a person's life and make him have a strong will.】

Hu—

Xiang Guangtai carefully observed the Release Orb; plus the ones obtained before, there were three in total.

Release Orbs can be used to make any item; looking at it this way, the reason why it has this property is because this thing is not a "mineral" in the usual sense, but something gathered by the will of the Unova people, and it is indeed the crystallization of the power of the Unova land itself.

No wonder the classification is not "material" but "craft".

I originally thought that not letting the Plasma Society be active could keep the Entree, but it seems that the current Entree is already very weak.

Xiang Guangtai fiddled with these three Release Orbs; because he had obtained the method of using Release Orbs before, he used them with ease and was very proficient.

The Pokémon curiously lay on the side to watch, watching Xiang Guangtai try to shape the Release Orbs into different forms, starting to manufacture them as substitute materials for various items, making them widen their eyes in shock!

When making fabric items, this jade stone was like liquefied, sometimes like silk thread, and then, the first new version of the item was made.

【Craft: Utility Umbrella.】

【Description: A hooded cloak that can deceive the enemy's eyes, made through powerful textile technology, linked with black cloth and Release Orbs, replacing some materials.】

【Effect: After carrying it, it can hide the body and become unaffected by the additional effects of moves.】

【Extra effect: Sometimes you can hear secret sounds, and it is not easy to be discovered by others.】

Not easy to be discovered?

Xiang Guangtai looked at the cloak in his hand in doubt.

No, isn't this thing obviously more conspicuous when worn out?

The surrounding Pokémon discussed this amazing scene; Dou Jianqiao and Lilligant were okay, after all, they had participated in many craft productions, and Release Orbs were quite magical as materials, but they accepted it after accepting the general two.

Next is Grotle; it thought carefully about the mutation that happened on its body, so it also accepted it.

The one who couldn't accept it the most was Riolu.

The little blue puppy stared, jumped onto the table, picked up a Release Orb, and looked at it back and forth in doubt.

What is this thing, that it is so magical?

"Hmm... there is something even more magical." Xiang Guangtai picked up the second Release Orb, thought for a moment, and took out a precious stone from his backpack.

Eviolite.

This was something dug out by Stone Pillar and Ursaluna.

Place the small purple Eviolite next to the Release Orb, then use the mystery of Rock on the Release Orb, and polish it at the same time.

Gradually, the jade stone began to become rough; the more it was polished, the rougher it became, losing the appearance of jade and becoming a new Eviolite the size of a palm!

Through the mystery of Rock, you can artificially create the environment where special rocks are born, and produce rare stones, and the grinding process is a method of "special processing" for Release Orbs, and then... incredible things happened like this!

"According to the instructions for using Release Orbs, as long as there are enough Release Orbs, plus the mental forging process and Awakening Power, you can go a step further, actively and quickly manufacture various 'Orbs' and 'Big Orbs'!"

Not only the Life, Toxic, and Flame Orbs, but even the "Incredible Orbs" of the Labyrinth World can be quickly manufactured.

Thus, only one Release Orb was left; Riolu became more and more curious about what this thing was, sniffing it and biting it with its teeth, but this thing was like an ordinary stone and didn't react at all.

The little blue puppy thought for a while, turned to use Aura, and began to deeply feel the rhythm of this jade stone.

Instant!

Riolu's will heard a lot of sounds; those were the echoes of the will of the lives living on the Unova land, and almost pulled Riolu from the spot into another space, blurred like a huge ancient ruin, and also like a long-standing ruined world!

But this strange feeling soon disappeared; Riolu opened its eyes and found that it was still standing in the original place.

"Awoo!" It hurriedly told Xiang Guangtai about what had just happened.

"Entree Connection?"

Xiang Guangtai didn't expect that Riolu would have such a change after feeling the Aura of the Release Orb; Entree Connection is the only way to enter the "Entree World", but before the C-Gear was developed, there was almost no way to enter it.

Of course, there is a very wonderful place in the game.

That is the Pokémon Home in Black 2, the Driftveil church where Sage Rood chose to take in Pokémon; there used to be many strange people there. During the Black/White period, they would say some secrets and dialogues about Entree, claiming that they had received help from others in different worlds.

And by Black 2, these people all disappeared.

Black City and White Forest will also occasionally have some visitors from the inner world; this is precisely the strange and magical side of Unova. In the animation, Unova even has a natural time gate that can travel through time.

"Using Aura to perform Entree Connection... but it's not stable, and the phantom scenes of the two times are different."

"I see, in the final analysis, the Entree function of the C-Gear is just a kind of 'artificial Aura'?"

Then this last Release Orb...

Looking at the puppy's alertness to that jade stone, Xiang Guangtai had a flash of inspiration.

Right, just make it into a medal; as described in the previous information note, Castelia City doesn't have an official medal affairs bureau yet, so make the Release Orb into a medal and give it to those who have outstanding talent.

This is a commendation from the "Will of Unova"; it should play a significant role in uniting people's hearts!

【Note 6: Make a Will Medal? Very good idea! You can integrate the power of Aura into it, so that people can better resonate with the Entree World.】

"Oh, so you think so too? Sure enough, it's useful, right! Then let's do it!"

"Make the Release Orb into the first official Will Medal!"

"Then, Riolu, please, this is your first job, because you just listened to the sound of Entree, your Aura is the most compatible with it."

Xiang Guangtai pointed to the little blue puppy; Riolu blinked and looked at the other Pokémon around.

Eh?

Job?

Wang wu... but, I'm a puppy! Do puppies have to work too!

Riolu cautiously prepared to release Aura, but was stopped by Dou Jianqiao, and then taught a secret formula.

Eh, a formula taught by the trainer?

"Awoo?"

Riolu blinked, closed its eyes suspiciously, and began to recite silently.

However, since it is said to be a formula that can better understand the power of Aura, maybe it really has some magical power.

Then, let's recite it and try.

The power of Aura resides in my heart!

"Awoo!"
