Chapter 55

【"Your sculpture is really amazing. I like collecting these ancient stone statues the most!"】

【"What, you said these are imitations? No, no, no, I know these are imitations! But even if they are imitations, imitating them to this extent is almost indistinguishable from real ancient objects. This is also a precious work of art! I am willing to buy them at a high price! Buy them all!"】

【"Ah... is that so... You still want to sell them to others. Sorry, I was abrupt. Then I will buy one of each!"】

【"Wha... what! Some have already been taken off the shelves and are not for sale... This, this is too regrettable! When will you put those products back on the shelves? I will wait at any time!"】

【"Then I will just buy one sculpture this time!"】

After sending away the previous client with the ID 【Myth Researcher】, without mourning the departure of the old client for even a moment, the one who rushed to the battlefield immediately was a new client!

This time, the other party's ID was almost a clear card, called 【Bourgeois Meyer】.

"It's Mr. Bourgeois Meyer from the Unova region. Hey, who uses their real name when surfing the internet!"

The Bourgeois family is a wealthy family living in Undella Town in Unova. There are six family members in total. Their hobby is spending a lot of money to collect some ancient antiques. This time, it is said that they were recommended by their "friend," so they found his shop and admired his craftsmanship very much...

Undella Town in Unova?

Oh right, there is indeed a client over there, it's 【Ancient Explorer】, right!

"Clients will introduce each other. Through this introduction, my client base will get bigger and bigger!"

"However, my first idea was to dominate the Johto region. How come the wild clients refreshed are all people from other regions? Hmm, don't the local people in the Johto region have any needs for battle? Previously, there were only clients from Ecruteak City and orders from two Elite Four members."

"The other Gym Leaders are also... Eh?!"

Xiang Guangtai was pondering this when he suddenly received an email.

It turned out to be the client from Ecruteak City before. At that time, this client bought directly without communicating with him.

【"The Spell Cloth I bought from you last time has a very good effect on mediumship, so I hope to purchase another batch, and the Spell Tag as well."】

【"Let me introduce myself. I am Morty, the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City, and I am a 'Medium.' It seems you are also a powerful Medium? If you have free time, please be sure to come to Ecruteak City to communicate with me. I will prepare tea and gifts to entertain you."】

Oh, it's Morty!

The plot of this person in the games, anime, and special manga is very rich, mainly because his identity as a Medium + Ho-Oh seeker added a lot of points. And his so-called Medium is actually a type of spiritualist. Morty mastered a magical ability called "Clairvoyance" through hard spiritual practice.

"Wait, this guy won't be like Will, able to peep at me, right!"

Xiang Guangtai narrowed his eyes unconsciously, and then scratched his head.

People with strange abilities are really... making people feel like they have surveillance cameras installed at any time!

"Okay, if I have time, I will definitely visit. It will be around after the beginning of autumn or the end of the year."

Xiang Guangtai gave a reply, and Morty on the opposite side was also very happy:

【"Then I will wait for your arrival! Also, I recommended your charms and those Spell Cloths to my peers who are also Mediums. They were quite surprised after using the effects of your charms. I guess they will come to you for purchases soon."】

"Ah, thank you very much!" Xiang Guangtai quickly typed a reply.

Clients communicate with each other and then recommend, this is a virtuous cycle!

However, regarding Ecruteak City, Xiang Guangtai does have plans to go once, mainly about the craft of making the Clear Bell, which he had almost collected unknowingly.

The only thing left is the Net Ball weaving craft, and this craft is the most important of all crafts.

"Should I visit Mr. Kurt in Azalea Town first? But I can't leave yet."

Leaving Sinjoh to go to the Johto region, just walking to the nearest Blackthorn City or Mahogany Town would take a lot of time, so walking back is not possible.

Therefore, if he wants to go to Johto, leaving at the end of August or mid-September is a good choice. Anyway, it will be covered by heavy snow from October here, which can also let the soil restore its fertility.

Come to think of it, if he could build a greenhouse, he should be able to continue planting crops even in the winter of Sinjoh.

The Johto region has a unique "Apricorn planting pot," which is that in the game, the Johto region cannot plant berries, and can only use planting pots. At first glance, the planting pot looks like a flower pot with a glass cover, but looking closely, it doesn't feel that simple.

However, the soil in the planting pot must be from the Sinnoh region or the Hoenn region.

Soil from different regions will affect planting... Xiang Guangtai suddenly thought of the special forests in various places.

"If there were a large Flying-type Pokémon, I could freely enter and exit various regions, and it would be convenient and fast. Now it's a bit troublesome."

"The Charizard in Blackthorn City seems to have a passenger service, sitting in a hot air balloon and being pulled forward by Charizard..."

It's really uncomfortable without a Flying-type Pokémon to help. However, if you want to choose a Flying-type Pokémon that can carry people to fly...

If it's just flying, many Pokémon can do it, but carrying people for long-distance flight, only strong Flying-type Pokémon like large Charizard and large Dragonite can handle it.

Speaking of Flying-type Pokémon in the Johto region, especially those of larger size, it is of course "Skarmory."

But compared to Skarmory, Corviknight in the Galar region is a better choice. In any respect, it is a superior substitute for Skarmory.

Speaking of which, Doublade's evolution, Aegislash, seems to be able to carry people for low-altitude flight, it just doesn't look very safe.

After sending away the two new clients, Xiang Guangtai took out some of the berries he had harvested not long ago. These berries ripened by Celebi's power looked much better than those grown naturally. Then Xiang Guangtai handed the berries to Petilil, and at the same time greeted Doublade, who was still chopping wood, to come over.

"Let's eat berries together! But although I say let's eat together, actually only I am eating..."

Petilil and Doublade both absorb nutrients and don't need to perform the action of "eating."

"Remember not to finish them, you need to leave a little bit."

Although the two Pokémon didn't understand why they couldn't finish them, they still did as they were told.

Sitrus Berry, Pecha Berry, Oran Berry, Rasp Berry, Wiki Berry, Bluk Berry, Starf Berry, Chople Berry... these berries were eaten to the point of being incomplete by Xiang Guangtai.

Among them, Doublade's way of eating was the most unique. Two ribbons held a berry each, and then it began to absorb the essence of the berry. The berry also withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only a little bit of the core and skin remained.

Soon these berries were left with a pile of residues of various shapes, and Xiang Guangtai selected them and picked them up one by one to observe.

No trigger, no trigger, no trigger...

"Strange, don't these count as 'Leftovers'?"

Until Xiang Guangtai picked up an incomplete berry that was eaten earliest, thoughts suddenly surged into his mind:

【Material: Leftovers (High-quality Sitrus Berry)】

【Description: This is a berry that has been left over and placed for a period of time. Because it has not been eaten for a long time, the nutrients have begun to be lost, the ingredients have changed, and the taste has decreased, only able to restore one-sixteenth of health.】

【Obtained Craft: 1】

【Unique Leftovers Making Craft (C+): A craft for making unique leftovers by mixing many leftover or cut berries that have been placed for too long. The form of leftovers is not limited. If a Pokémon holds it and eats it before battle, the Pokémon's HP will slowly recover during the battle for a long time, and it is also effective when not in battle.】

【If a Pokémon with a recovery move participates in the production, the leftovers produced will have special extra effects.】

"Let a Pokémon with a recovery move participate in the production... wait, I remember something." Xiang Guangtai suddenly remembered something.

In the Hisui era, there seemed to be an act of using Pokémon's moves to "season"?

Do it as soon as he thinks of it. Xiang Guangtai returned to the house, took out pots and bowls, and set up a picnic stand, started a fire underneath, and poured a portion of the leftover berries into it.

"Petilil, use Pollen Puff on the food! But the force should be smaller."

Xiang Guangtai pointed to the pot, and Petilil looked incredulous!

Pet?

Although it had intense curiosity, Petilil still followed Xiang Guangtai's instructions and used Pollen Puff on the food in the pot. The glittering golden-red powder fell into the pot, and the force was controlled very well!

After the Pollen Puff entered the pot, the food in the pot seemed to have undergone strange changes.

Xiang Guangtai took out the berry thick soup from the pot and observed it in a bowl.

【Crafted Food: Leftover Berry Thick Soup (Flower Soup).】

【Description: This is a thick soup stewed with a large amount of leftover/cut and placed berries. It has a powerful recovery effect and will attract surrounding Pokémon.】

【Crafted Item Effect: If a Pokémon eats it, the Pokémon's HP will slowly recover during the battle for a long time.】

【Extra Effect: Used "Pollen Puff" for seasoning. After eating, the Pokémon's technique will permanently increase (small), and after Grass and Bug-type Pokémon eat it, their attribute energy will also be improved.】

Technique? This is a type of "physical fitness" in Pokémon competitions.

The so-called physical fitness is a statement in Pokémon competitions, and it is also the state shown by Pokémon in daily life. It is different from base stats. Physical fitness is divided into stamina, strength, technique, speed, and jumping ability.

Speed affects the speed of Pokémon's movement.

Strength affects the consequences of collisions between Pokémon and other Pokémon.

Technique affects the operation precision of Pokémon's special actions.

Stamina affects whether Pokémon are prone to fatigue.

Jumping affects the height of Pokémon's jumping.
