Chapter 51

【Rare Material: Lum Berry】

【Description: This berry stores ingredients beneficial to a Pokémon's body within itself, so it requires a long time to mature.】

【Effect: After a Pokémon holds it, it can cure all status conditions.】

【Obtained Craft: 1】

【Rare Candy Craft (B): Can make Rare Candy that boosts Pokémon stats, requiring Lum Berry as the core material.】

Xiang Guangtai looked at the refreshed fruit in surprise, and the other Pokémon also showed incredible expressions, watching intently; only Celebi sat on the new shrine looking happy.

"A miracle fruit, Lum Berry, huh. Having obtained the Lum Berry, I can plant the corresponding fruit trees and achieve Lum Berry freedom, and Rare Candy can finally be made too!"

But the growth of the fruit tree still needs some time, maybe a month?

It was getting late, so Xiang Guangtai took out Pokémon food and instant food, and after a simple meal, he prepared to embark on the journey back.

During this process, Celebi did not move, and Xiang Guangtai also foresaw some things, asking with some reluctance:

"Are you leaving?"

"Cele~! Cele!"

Celebi nodded affirmatively. The shrine was repaired, so it could perform time jumps. Next time it came back, it wouldn't have to worry about not having a landing point!

However, the forest is very boring; the workshop is more interesting!

"Bi!"

Celebi opened its arms, high-fived Doublade and Petilil again, and finally landed on Xiang Guangtai's head.

It likes Doublade, Petilil, and Xiang Guangtai; it likes everyone in the workshop!

Even if it leaves here, it will remember everyone. For a Pokémon that can time travel, this parting is actually not a parting at all; it will come here again at some time in the future, it's just a blink of an eye!

Next time it comes back, everyone must have evolved!

Of course, there was also Turtwig, who was secretly rubbing against the soil. Celebi originally wanted to say this, but felt that it would break its promise to Turtwig, so it didn't say anything.

Hmm, but Turtwig will soon become friends with everyone! Celebi believed so!

"Celebi!"

It will collect good things in the past and future and send them to everyone!

Remember to visit the shrine occasionally!

"Is that so? Then thank you! If the shrine is damaged again, come find me next time; I will help you repair it."

Xiang Guangtai said with a smile, then watched Celebi travel through time and space and leave.

Faint ripples spread in the surrounding space, and the ripples gradually subsided.

"Eh! Speaking of which, without Psychic help, this backpack has become so heavy! Doublade, hurry and help me carry it!"

After Xiang Guangtai and the two Pokémon left here, perhaps an hour, or perhaps three hours later, when the sky gradually darkened.

The forest showed movement again. That large Scyther appeared near Celebi's shrine. It circled the shrine for a long time, recalling the human and those Pokémon it had just seen.

That's right, it was that human with the strange double swords. So that guy came to repair the Forest God's shrine... Speaking of which, if recognized by the Forest God, wouldn't that guy dominate the outer forest?

Sure enough, he is an annoying guy, but it doesn't matter; I will definitely defeat that human!

At this moment, a second sound came!

Scyther turned its head abruptly, and then fled in defeat.

Thump... Thump—

A huge footstep echoed in this ancient forest. A black shadow with a sense of oppression appeared near Celebi's shrine. It had H-shaped light spots on its face and made unintelligible "beep-beep" and "Regi" sounds, staring closely at the repaired ancient shrine.

If Xiang Guangtai were still here, he would definitely recognize the true identity of this black shadow.

The legendary giant, Regirock!

Leaving the forest, saying goodbye to the friends he had just met.

But life and life will eventually meet again.

When Xiang Guangtai returned to the workshop with Doublade and Petilil, he saw a small pit on the ground outside again.

Xiang Guangtai fell into a brief contemplation.

Come to think of it, this small pit seems to be dug out and filled in every day. Is this also done by Celebi?

Or is it a hole dug by Diglett and the others?

Having no clue about this small pit, Xiang Guangtai carefully checked the surrounding medicinal materials and found that nothing was missing, so he ignored it for the time being.

Returning to the house, he arranged the obtained materials neatly, took out the Eviolite, and immediately began the polishing work.

Before long, the new Eviolite had been polished, and the unique effect of the Eviolite also appeared.

"Drawing out inner potential can be seen as a slow increase in effort values, and Doublade is actually a very powerful Pokémon in battle."

Xiang Guangtai handed over the polished Eviolite, and Doublade grabbed it immediately, but...

"Wooo~! ゞ(⊙)╯╬!"

"Pooo~! ゞ(⊙)╯╬!"

Right sword: I am the main body, the Eviolite should naturally be on my hilt!

Left sword: I am the main body, the Eviolite should be placed on me!

The two swords flew out of the scabbard, and metallic luster flashed on the blades!

It's Iron Defense!

Seeing that they were about to fight, Xiang Guangtai was just about to say something, but saw Petilil shake its head, looking very strange.

Petilil jumped onto Xiang Guangtai's hand, took the Eviolite, and then hopped behind Doublade, where there was an unformed small shield.

Petilil knocked on that small shield.

Doublade's two swords reacted in unison at this moment!

Oh right, we have a shield now; if we put it on the shield, we don't have to fight over it!

"Yooo-poo~!"

Thank you, Petilil!

Petilil: "Pet~()~"

"Well done." Xiang Guangtai stroked Petilil's head and leaves, and Petilil also shook happily.

"Yooo~" At this time, Doublade floated over feeling a bit uncomfortable. Both eyes on the two hilts stared at Xiang Guangtai, and it asked:

When can we recover into one consciousness?

"That will have to wait until we find a Dusk Stone," Xiang Guangtai replied. "There's no other way; after all, both you and Petilil need stones to evolve."

"Yooo-poo~"

Doublade seemed a bit dejected. Although this state is very cool, having two consciousnesses is really strange!

Xiang Guangtai didn't expect that even though this guy is having "civil wars" every day, it actually still thinks this posture is cool...

Is it cool? Of course! Even Xiang Guangtai had to admit this point!

If you carry Doublade on your back, wouldn't you look like one of those peerless masters who use swords? And there are two of them; you can play as a dual-wielding swordsman.

"Let's plant the Lum Berry, and then rest. Petilil, I'll leave the care of the Lum Berry to you."

"Wawa!" Petilil rolled up its small skirt!

Leave the Lum Berry to me! Don't worry!

It also wanted to be like Celebi, always proudly puffing out its chest and using its abilities to do all kinds of magical things!

Such an important thing as the Lum Berry, it will definitely cultivate it well!

The next day.

The first batch of herbs and crops had been harvested, so naturally, the second batch had to be sown quickly, and now that fertilizer had been bought, there was no need to worry about the soil's fertility.

Petilil continued its work; it was now concentrating on cultivating the Lum Berry.

"Pet~ Pet~"

Miracle fruit, miracle fruit()~!

Yesterday, it carefully polished the shrine. At that time, Xiang Guangtai's eyes were very surprised when he looked at it. Its performance had been seen. That's right, polishing sculptures, this work it can also handle!

It looked into the house. Now, in the fourth empty room of the house, there was a large jar for pickling, which seemed to be for making some special food item called "Double Pickles"?

Anyway, the things Xiang Guangtai makes are very magical! Just remember this point!

It tilted its head again and looked to the other side of the hillside, where some smoke was drifting up.

Petilil's leaves swayed, peeking at Xiang Guangtai and Doublade working from the edge of the field. At this time, Xiang Guangtai was digging a kiln for making charcoal.

The charcoal kiln was an underground pit kiln or a simple earthen kiln. Xiang Guangtai chose a low, gentle slope and began to dig the kiln pit, while inevitably thinking that if there were a Pokémon that could dig holes, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

And Doublade was repairing and chopping a pile of wood.

After tossing and turning for a while, the earthen kiln was gradually dug out, leaving a smoke exhaust and an air inlet. Xiang Guangtai took a large amount of repaired wood from Doublade's side, stuffed them into the completed earthen kiln, and then used mud and straw to compact and seal the top.

The air inlet was also the ignition port. As Xiang Guangtai ignited the earthen kiln, wisps of blue smoke rose from the smoke vent before long. During the process of burning charcoal, the charcoal kiln must be checked frequently to see if there are cracks and pores in the covering soil.

At the same time, calculate the approximate change in water content in the charcoal based on the air volume and color change, and finally, seal the pile for smothering, let it cool naturally after isolating oxygen, and this time will be very long.

Finally, Xiang Guangtai placed a Charizard statue next to the charcoal kiln. This statue can make the fire burn more vigorously. However, making charcoal mainly relies on smothering fire, so it's hard to say how much effect this sculpture can exert.

What kind of magical changes will the charcoal from Ilex Forest have after undergoing a unique firing process? Xiang Guangtai was already looking forward to it; he could add new products to the workshop's store again.

"Herbal juice... will anyone buy it? After burning glass products, fill them with fruit juice and sell them."

"Good medicine, Root of Vitality, Revival Herb, berries, Light Moss, Double Pickles... am I a pharmacy?"

And about the Light Clay, Xiang Guangtai thought, next time he goes to the village, he would ask Diglett and the others to help dig it; just thank them with berries and vegetables. If they can dig it, that would be best.

The feeling of being busy is really good; the workshop's reputation seems to be getting louder and louder!
