I didn’t expect this Glass Whistle to be so useful—it’s far superior to the original from Hoenn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, but maybe it’s because I used Soft Sand as the base material—this sand is already a special item, found in Regirock’s temple, likely infused with Rock and Ground-type energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I don’t have any Ground-type Pokémon, so I’ll just sell this Glass Whistle. And better Pokémon training? That sounds almost like the ability of ‘The Secrets of the Earth.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai looked again at the leaf of Lilligant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could adding a Pokémon’s type material produce a different Glass Whistle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Guang Tai plucked a leaf from Lilligant, gathered oak forest leaves, mixed them into the molten glass, and performed a second firing—resulting in a change:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘A craft has been completed!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Crafted Item: Grass Glass Whistle.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Description: A tool made using Soft Sand, common materials, and a special Grass-type plant through unique glasscraft.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Craft Effect 1: When blown by a Trainer or Pokémon, the power of Grass-type moves increases by 10%.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Craft Effect: When blown by a Trainer or Pokémon, it allows perception of Grass energy, improving the training of Grass-type Pokémon; in Grass Perception state, critical hits from opponents are avoided.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The effect is nearly identical, but move power boost dropped to 10%—perhaps because the main material is Ground-type Soft Sand? Still, this is quite good—a very practical item.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I replaced the Grass-type material with a Miracle Seed, the boost might reach 25%. But Miracle Seeds are extremely rare natural items—I wonder if my Seed Mutation knowledge can make one appear in crops?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The computer beeped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kanto Region, Seven Islands, Fourth Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired woman, Koga, one of the original Sinnoh Elite Four’s Ice-type Champion, had received a courier from Shen Du.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snowseal, Lapras, Cloyster. Hmm, these sculptures look quite ancient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeing them in person feels different from viewing images online—how to put it? Like the feeling I got from the Ascan ruins. Can this really be made just by carving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga pinched her delicate chin, studying the 1\u002F20-scale figurines, then read the accompanying instruction manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a user manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice-type sculptures lower surrounding temperature—yes, it’s chilly. But it feels nice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Snowseal sculpture slowly restores HP for Ice-type Pokémon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sculpture is basically an eco-friendly refrigerator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga’s Snowseal suddenly shuffled forward, tilting its head at the sculpture nearly identical to itself but far older—it sensed a chilling aura from the carving, and it felt wonderfully comfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snowseal, you like this carving too?” Koga crossed her arms, muttering to herself: “The climate of the Seven Islands is heavily tropical—only the Icefall Cave is cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Koga said, due to the tropical climate of the Seven Islands, all Ice-type Pokémon gather in the Icefall Cave on the Fourth Island; Koga usually lets her Pokémon rest deep inside the Icefall Cave, but recently, to avoid Team Rocket’s harassment, she hasn’t let them return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Island is Koga’s hometown; she lives on the eastern edge of the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With these sculptures, I don’t need air conditioning to lower the temperature! Good, everyone, come out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga opened all her Poké Balls—of course, Lapras was too large to appear—and besides Snowseal and Cloyster, the other two were Slowbro and Mr. Mime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pokémon immediately sensed the unusual temperature and fixed their gazes on the three sculptures—their chilling aura lowered the room temperature, making them feel extremely comfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloyster, grinning mischievously, examined its own sculpture from every angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Cloyster sculpture makes ice items harder. Sounds like a training-related effect? Cloyster, use Ice Beam?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga looked at Cloyster and decided to test it. After a moment’s thought, Cloyster kept its smirk and began condensing ice with the horn extending from its shell. As Ice-type energy gathered, a large Ice Beam formed—bigger than any it had made before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Beam hit the floor. Koga touched it and found it was significantly harder than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the chilling aura it emitted was also slightly stronger—though the increase was minor, Koga was an Ice-type expert; her instincts on Ice-type Pokémon were never wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It makes my Pokémon stronger too—this is amazing! Though it looks like something meant for a fridge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Koga’s level—an Elite Four Trainer—growing stronger is extremely difficult; ordinary training won’t cut it, since Elite Four are essentially Champion-in-waiting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet these sculptures, merely by being placed, influence the environment and Pokémon, producing positive enhancements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga was delighted—and the final one, Lapras, was described as enhancing Ice- and Water-type energy. That was easy to understand: it likely concentrated ambient Ice-type energy to strengthen Ice-type Pokémon, making it most effective in the Seven Islands’ oceanic environment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s water everywhere here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taking this sculpture to the Icefall Cave will have a huge effect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga’s delight was obvious. Her Pokémon were all focused on the three sculptures, and Koga pulled out the “Aura Sash” from the courier box!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Aura Sash is identical to the one Agatha had—but hers is nearly worn out from my attacks. This fabric grants incredible power, yet wear is unavoidable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agatha left in a hurry after defeating me—he must’ve noticed the sash’s wear. After all, even powerful items still degrade normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to that, the sculptures’ effects are powerful too, but they can’t be used in battle—any move hit would shatter them. Koga thought to herself: Good, now I don’t have to worry about Agatha using his Dragonite sculpture to annoy me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Koga bought several more Aura Sashes—including the Aura Headband—mainly because this special Headband gives a 5% chance to avoid fainting when using Explosion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Cloyster definitely knows Explosion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time I use it to blow up Agatha, that’ll be perfect! He always brags about his Dragon Clan’s deep bond—let him see the bond between me and Cloyster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m lucky, I might even land consecutive Exploisions! If only there were a way to turn Explosion into an Ice-type move…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also… Shell Bell.” Koga picked up a white shell-shaped bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard of this item—a bell made from Hoenn’s specialty shells; wearing it restores HP when attacking. Sinnoh has similar shells too—but how does it actually work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Kanto, it’s extremely rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga gently shook the Shell Bell—the sound inside was pleasing, making her relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a regular bell, it’s quite nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The workshop has added a lot of new items lately! But nothing I can use… King’s Rock, Charcoal, Purifying Pendant! Oh, this one looks impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The price isn’t high—I’ll buy it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, does the shop have any items that increase Freeze chance? Ideally, raise it to 50%—whenever I see Agatha, my head hurts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hit the opponent and freeze them solid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koga thought maliciously, then picked up her PokéGear and sent a message to “Guang Tai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the reply was—【“?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Apologies, but the workshop currently has no such item. And a 50% Freeze chance—I’m sorry to say, you’d likely be banned by the League.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah~ No, huh?” Koga sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ban didn’t matter—what mattered was thrashing Agatha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instantly, she perked up and began chatting with Guang Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, have you considered making dolls with special abilities? You definitely can, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“…Dolls? I could try. Your suggestion is good, but since there’s no prototype yet, the effects are unknown, and pricing is undetermined.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Then I’ll reserve a Lapras doll first! Ah! But I’m not in a hurry to receive it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“If you’re not in a hurry… that’s best. Thank you for your support.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh—” Koga’s expression grew increasingly eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dolls from the Magical Shop would have different effects from those at home—Koga had now confirmed this completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agatha only buys battle items—does he think power is everything? Once I collect enough training items, his Dragon Clan won’t stand a chance against me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are there unique-effect dolls on the market? Pichu Doll?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the supermarket said it lets you escape wild Pokémon battles—yet that’s just throwing it to distract them! That’s not a real unique ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Koga sent Guang Tai a message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I always look forward to the workshop’s new items—but since I’m an Ice-type Trainer, Boss, next time please add some Ice-type items!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1541,"2026-06-19T14:14:16.243Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ec600c93184eff327b47481268857ce374a0e2ef081452e83a82c88ec8dcd547","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-63","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-61",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaster-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-cover.jpg"]
