Chapter 42: Who on Earth is Buying These Sculptures

After Professor Rowan bought the Arceus sculpture, he placed an order for a Slugma sculpture by the way. The function description on the Slugma sculpture was that it could make the surrounding area warm, equivalent to a fireplace without fire, which felt quite practical.

"There must be a heating machine inside the sculpture. But this effect is quite similar to the natural characteristics of Slugma. Where Slugma gathers, the ground temperature will become higher. In cold areas, some people will raise Slugma and let them move in the fireplace to heat the whole house."

"Speaking of which, it can't be shipped directly? It has to be transferred from Johto to Kanto, and then to Sinnoh. The shipping fee is a bit expensive."

Professor Rowan pondered, while re-checking the function introductions of other sculptures.

The function of the Slugma sculpture is heating. The function of the Charizard sculpture is to make the flames burn more vigorously.

Scyther is to increase the power of chopping. Charmander is to make the air scorching.

Dragonite is not easy to become abnormally status-affected. Xatu can predict one thing every day.

The function of the Snorlax sculpture is to calm external forces and calm the mind. Calm external forces? What does it mean?

"Uh... no matter how I look at it, it feels wrong. Won't the products in this shop be deceptive? If there is no effect, I will complain. That guy Oak actually let me pay attention to such a strange shop. If my money is cheated, it's all Oak's fault!"

"That's 200,000!"

"And Gengar and Lairon, the function is... Why is Lairon off the shelf?! The product is no longer available... Is the inventory gone?"

Sinnoh region, Battle Castle.

A young butler wearing a butler's outfit, with a standard tuxedo on the upper body and purple trousers on the lower body, and a strange slicked-back hairstyle, was staring at the screen on the Pokémon device.

"Looks like a quite ancient statue, Snorlax sculpture, can calm the mind to a small extent."

"Uh, is the person who made this sculpture a psychic?"

He is one of the Battle Frontier facilities, the Castle Butler of the Battle Castle, and a man named Darach. And the object he serves, the true master of this Battle Castle, is a girl named Caitlin.

The girl possesses powerful psychic power. In fact, she should be the true Frontier Brain. However, once the girl named Caitlin gets emotional, the powerful psychic power she possesses will immediately lose control and run wild, so she is forbidden from participating in battles.

However, the girl gradually realized her immaturity and was determined to change herself. She experienced a period of training and tempering and was about to embark on a journey to the distant Unova, and she would definitely achieve incredible achievements there.

Perhaps in just a few months, he would be able to hear that the young lady had become famous there.

And in order to find a way for the young lady to master the psychic power in her body faster, Darach, as an all-around butler, searched online and soon found the Travel Workshop from the web page on the Pokémon device.

"Uh, if this statue really has the effect of calming the restlessness of the mind, maybe it can also calm the rampage of psychic power, making the young lady's mastery of her own power more refined! Let's give this statue to the young lady as a farewell gift."

Johto region, Ecruteak City.

"Although it was recommended by Professor Elm..."

Strange workshop, strange creator, and strange and powerful charms!

Morty felt the spiritual power on the charms. This kind of spiritual power was worlds apart from the spiritual power he had cultivated.

"What strange spiritual power, as if it came from another world, yes, just like the power of the Spirit Realm."

"The craftsman who made the charm is a powerful 'Shugenja'!"

A Shugenja is a type of psychic. Through arduous spiritual practice, they have obtained unique abilities. What Morty is proud of is his clairvoyance, which can see the content the client hopes to see through spiritual power, no matter how far apart.

At the same time, Morty is also a person who pursues Ho-Oh.

At the beginning, Professor Elm recommended this shop to him and hoped that he would investigate the items in this shop. This was a formal commission, but after truly buying these charms, Morty knew that his spiritual power and the other party's spiritual power seemed to be quite different.

This gap is not the total amount of spiritual power, but in the method and source of using spiritual power.

"I obtained spiritual power through spiritual practice, but the craftsman who made this charm might be a natural psychic."

"Such people also exist."

Whether it is Morty himself, or other well-known spiritualists, such as Phoebe of the Hoenn Elite Four, she also obtained powerful spiritual power after practicing on Mt. Pyre.

And some psychics recovered from the edge of death, and thus were suddenly able to see ghosts. This is also a situation where they received the call of the Spirit Realm and obtained spiritual power.

Natural psychics are very rare, but as long as they appear, they will show extraordinary spiritual talent.

Morty exhaled slightly. These charms indeed helped his practice a lot, including those Cursed Charms, and he had verified the functions of the charms with Gengar and the others, which could be said to be very powerful!

At the same time, the witches, prayer masters, and psychics who gathered in the Ecruteak Gym to practice spiritual power also praised these charms!

"Maybe I should invite that craftsman to Ecruteak City once."

Morty muttered in his heart, but this thought could not be suppressed once it arose. But inviting others to be guests here, is it to ask the other party to share his practice experience, or to ask the other party to make a batch of charms on the spot?

These behaviors seem to be not very polite.

"I have to prepare some gifts, so I will send my experience and insights on spiritual practice to him."

Look at his Pokémon again, whether it's Misdreavus or Gengar, they seem to like these charms very much.

These unique charms can strengthen their Ghost-type energy!

Very suitable for cultivating Ghost-type Pokémon!

And Gengar and the others also noticed that there is also attribute energy from Pokémon in this charm, which is a Pokémon they have never seen!

For this reason, Morty also used clairvoyance once, but he did not peep at Xiang Guangtai, but was searching for that Pokémon.

Finally, what Morty saw was a Pokémon shaped like a sword, and it was quite lively. He had never seen such a Pokémon!

In the observation of clairvoyance, this Pokémon and its owner seem to be quite close and have a deep bond.

"Powerful, natural spiritual power, right... If it is this person, maybe it is possible to... see Ho-Oh."

Morty thought of the ancient legend of Ecruteak City. Even the arduous practice he carried out himself was to realize a part of this ancient legend.

In this Ecruteak City, people have worshipped Pokémon as gods since a long time ago.

Moreover, legendary Pokémon will descend before trainers who possess true strength.

That's what the legend says... Morty has always believed in this beautiful legend, so since he was born, he has been practicing secretly and arduously here.

And the former Morty believed that the shadow of the person who could summon the legendary Pokémon to this land must be himself!

However, the reality is that Morty has practiced a lot, but still cannot summon Ho-Oh.

Morty knows he hasn't been chosen by the legendary Pokémon... but this doesn't mean his future has disappeared. Before seeing a bright future, he will continue to practice!

And this time, maybe...

"Powerful trainer... This craftsman has such powerful spiritual talent and a unique Ghost-type Pokémon."

"This kind of innate power will carry some kind of destiny. Generally speaking, it is like this. It really makes me look forward to it more and more!"
