Chapter 46: Celebi's Visit

"So, why did all the crops harvest overnight?!"

When Xiang Guangtai woke up the next day, he saw Cherubi at a loss in the field.

And all the cultivated plants had all ushered in maturity and harvest! Xiang Guangtai even thought he had overslept for a moment and traveled through time for another month!

"Cherubi completed a craft work!"

"Learned move: Pollen Puff."

"Cherubi gained knowledge: 1"

"Harvest Moment: By cultivating various crops, all of Cherubi's stats will be easier to grow."

Seeing the information, Xiang Guangtai couldn't help but look at Cherubi.

All stats are easier to grow... equivalent to all-attribute increase? This result is really good, but perhaps it is also because of this abnormal event...

However, Cherubi was in an excited state and didn't seem to notice that her own state had changed.

And looking at the mature crops around, Xiang Guangtai looked left and right, and at the same time saw a small hole that seemed to have been dug and filled.

"This small hole, Cherubi, did you dig it?"

Cherubi tilted her head, her expression full of confusion.

"Wawa?"

"Eh, it wasn't you who dug it, then..."

Just when Xiang Guangtai was confused, he suddenly heard a light shout:

"Time!"

Right on the roof of the workshop, a light green Pokémon sat on it, happily shaking a pair of small feet, and gently shaking her head, looking at Xiang Guangtai who walked out of the wooden house, as well as the other two Pokémon.

Xiang Guangtai simply couldn't believe his eyes.

It's really Celebi!

The guardian of the forest!

"So that's it, this is not strange... this is..." Xiang Guangtai repeated, and Celebi stood up from the roof of the workshop, flapped her small wings, flew lightly and gracefully to Xiang Guangtai's side, and greeted Cherubi and Dou Jianqiao!

"Time!"

"Yo!"

"Cheru!"

Cherubi looked at Celebi with longing eyes!

Were all these plants grown overnight by the Pokémon in front of her?

When could she do the same as her?

And Dou Jianqiao stared at Celebi with both eyes, seemingly thinking of something...

"Yo~!"

Right, this guy must have come from the forest. Hey, speaking of which, if this guy is here, there is no need to protect the forest environment at all. Just cut trees casually and they will grow back the next day. This ability is too convenient!

Dou Jianqiao didn't realize that as a sword... no, two swords, it had already entered the perspective of a logging axe...

"Symbol Plate can establish a connection with the corresponding Pokémon," Xiang Guangtai chewed on this sentence.

At this time, Celebi suddenly flew back to the roof, followed by holding a wooden carving in both hands and flying back, seemingly very happy!

"Time!"

Xiang Guangtai was surprised, then understood: "Do you like the carving I made?"

Celebi nodded and smiled: "Time!"

At the same time, she pointed her finger to the depths of the forest, followed by circling Xiang Guangtai, signaling Xiang Guangtai to follow her into the forest.

Celebi's forest, the depths of Shenhe Forest, carving...

Several keywords were connected, and Xiang Guangtai seemed to have guessed the answer, but Dou Jianqiao had already made "Yo-pu Yo-wu" sounds, acting as a translator.

"So that's it, Celebi's meaning is that she has a broken shrine in the forest, so she wants me to use carving craft to help her repair it?"

"And it's using 'ancient carving craft', right?"

Xiang Guangtai understood this time!

It turns out she wants to ask him to repair the shrine!

Celebi's shrines exist in many forests. It seems that in the ancient times a thousand years ago, there were people who worshipped Celebi in various regions, and Celebi's shrine is an important time-travel location in the game.

And speaking of the most famous location of Celebi's shrine, it is naturally the "Ilex Forest" in the Johto region!

Originally, Xiang Guangtai planned to do charcoal burning work today, but now the medicinal herbs and crops were all ripened, so they must be harvested as soon as possible. Celebi also seemed to realize this and smiled a little awkwardly.

She seemed to have disrupted the other party's work arrangement.

"It doesn't matter, let's harvest these herbs and crops first today. I have to thank you, otherwise, it would take many days to harvest these crops. This way my inventory will be sufficient again."

Xiang Guangtai didn't feel anything bad, and at the same time completely forgot about the small hole, and promised Celebi:

"After I'm done here, I'll go help you repair the shrine."

At the same time, Xiang Guangtai began to think about the specific description of the Symbol Plate... What he knew at the time was that active character arrangement could establish a connection with the corresponding Pokémon, but there was a second half of the sentence.

Some Pokémon will also actively establish a connection with the Symbol Plate.

Does this mean that sometimes the Symbol Plate will spell out the corresponding words by itself, and those Pokémon, like Celebi, have requests for him?

This connection might not be "telepathy" or "exact notification," but more of a hazy prophecy. When some Pokémon related to him might appear in the future, the stone plate will combine and arrange the characters itself...

Xiang Guangtai guessed so.

"Friend, all life will meet other life and let new things be born."

For some reason, Xiang Guangtai thought of that sentence on the Solaceon Ruins in the Sinnoh region.

Yes, the Symbol Plate is a stone plate using Unown as symbols, and that stone plate in the Solaceon Ruins is also the same, and recorded this sentence, which is also the motto most often said by Cynthia, the Champion of the Sinnoh region.

Looking forward again, Celebi had quickly become familiar with Cherubi and Dou Jianqiao, and the three Pokémon began to harvest the medicinal herbs, crops, and berries in the land.

"Time!"

Celebi picked a berry and handed it to Xiang Guangtai, expressing her willingness to help.

"Thank you."

Xiang Guangtai reached out, but paused again, and Celebi saw what Xiang Guangtai wanted to do. Not only did she not retreat, but she took the initiative to step forward and hold Xiang Guangtai's palm.

Celebi's touch felt like grass leaves, very soft, so Xiang Guangtai gradually became distracted while stroking it.

He felt his mind quiet down, like a gentle wind and leaves brushing over his body, as if there were bells.

"It's Heal Bell."

Xiang Guangtai came back to his senses, saw Celebi's smile, and confirmed that the other party had just used the move.

Heal Bell can eliminate the abnormal status of all Pokémon in the party, which is a very comfortable bell sound.

With the help of the three Pokémon, Xiang Guangtai quickly harvested all the medicinal herbs, crops, and berries, and piled them into the workshop. At this time, due to the large amount of harvesting, the process of cultivation craft was completely finished, and Xiang Guangtai obtained a new knowledge, and at the same time, Dou Jianqiao and Cherubi also gained different degrees of experience and growth.

"Completed the harvest work."

"Gained knowledge: 1"

"Better Harvest: The medicinal herbs planted have better curative effects, the crops taste better, and the berries provide more energy."

"Dou Jianqiao gained experience and growth through work."

"Cherubi gained experience and growth through work."

And incredibly, Xiang Guangtai saw information about Celebi.

"Celebi gained experience and growth through work."

Even if it is an external Pokémon, as long as it deeply participates in the work, it can get growth, which is the same as Diglett and the others.

Xiang Guangtai's expression became a bit strange.

He had thought about shearing the wool of the Mythical Pokémon before, but he didn't expect it to come true!

At the same time, because he completed the planting related to "Permafrost Cultivation Technology," Xiang Guangtai obtained a clue for a new material!

Clue:

【Rare material: Ilex Forest Wood.】

【Acquisition location: Ilex Forest.】

【Corresponding craft: Unique charcoal burning craft.】

"Time?"

Celebi felt a strange Grass-type energy escaping from those harvested medicinal herbs and crops, and condensing into her body.

She seemed to have become stronger?

Incredible events always happen suddenly. Celebi knew that it must be what this magical human did. After the harvest was finished, Xiang Guangtai returned to the cabin, picked up a piece of stone, and started carving.

This time, the carving was, of course, Celebi's appearance.

The three Pokémon surrounded Xiang Guangtai curiously. Celebi sat on the table, Cherubi tilted her head beside Xiang Guangtai, and Dou Jianqiao was bragging about how amazing Xiang Guangtai's carving level was, and the two swords were bragging together, and they were competing to see who could brag more!

They fooled Celebi into being very happy!

After a while, the carving work was finished, and Celebi also showed a curious expression very cooperatively. In her view, the speed of this carving was a bit incredible.

But Xiang Guangtai knew that so much knowledge and craft were not obtained for nothing!

"Done."

Thoughts surged and gathered into information.

"Artifact: Small 【Ancient Stone Statue】 — Style of the Shenhe Ruins."

"Description: A stone statue carved in an ancient style; the shape is Celebi, which some enthusiasts will purchase at a high price."

"Artifact Effect 1: Memory Recall — Can allow Pokémon to recall moves that could have been learned but were forgotten for some reason."

"Artifact Effect 2: Child of the Forest — Will not get lost when moving in the forest, reducing the probability of wild Pokémon attacks."
