Chapter 82: Order from Pryce

"It doesn't matter, let Lilligant give it a try." Xiang Guangtai smiled: "Carving work is a test for a craftsman. If you can do detailed carving, you are a qualified craftsman. Just like when you carved relic stone slabs before."

"Yo-woo~ Yo-pu!" Doublade's two swords were very satisfied!

Very satisfied with Xiang Guangtai's praise!

That's right, I am the chief knight and carving master under the king. Even the kitchen knife has been laid off. No tool can compare to me in the precision of carving!

"Secondly, Lilligant, you are in the Hisuian form, and your current ability is Hustle. This ability will significantly increase your strength, but it will reduce accuracy."

"Therefore, through carving, perhaps you can gradually correct or eliminate the negative side of the ability. That's what I think."

Hustle ability, attack is increased to 1.5 times the original, and the accuracy of physical moves is x0.8.

For many people, this is a very negative ability. Although the power of the move becomes greater, it is meaningless if it cannot hit people. And the original full-accuracy moves will also become inaccurate because of this negative effect.

As everyone knows, 90 accuracy ≈ 0 accuracy.

Although in the real world, even full-accuracy moves will miss because of the god-level skill "Dodge," the terrible thing about Hustle ability is perhaps that even if the opponent doesn't use "Dodge," you might not hit.

This is very troublesome, so it is very necessary to improve precision through careful carving work. Doublade obtained knowledge through carving before and improved the accuracy of moves.

"Lilligant~!" Lilligant nodded, then looked at a stone moved by Regirock with full concentration.

And Xiang Guangtai began to instruct Lilligant to carve. It doesn't matter if this stone is carved badly; it is a practice work anyway.

Before, he moved many stones with Regirock, so it would be very easy to have a strong partner working together.

Before long, under the slashing of Leaf Blade, a somewhat rough and not very good-looking sculpture was made. The model for carving was Xiang Guangtai.

But looking at the Xiang Guangtai she carved, which was terrible, the Hisuian Lilligant felt a bit discouraged.

This, the carving is so ugly. I clearly thought about how to carve Xiang Guangtai's handsome face in my mind, but my leaves didn't listen to me!

"This is the drawback of Hustle ability, right? It's difficult to grasp the landing point of moves accurately." Xiang Guangtai looked at this sculpture and couldn't help but smile: "Haha, this is me."

"Lilligant!" Lilligant covered her face, feeling that she had no face to see anyone.

And Doublade was complacent.

Hey, carving is not as good as me at all!

Xiang Guangtai comforted her: "It doesn't matter, practice makes perfect. You will make progress next time. Through repeated practice, overcome the shortcomings in the ability!"

Lilligant nodded and cheered herself up secretly.

The next work must be done better than now. The work Xiang Guangtai gave me must be done perfectly!

Her stubborn personality made her a bit obsessed, but fortunately, with the help of the trainer, Lilligant couldn't help but become happy again.

As long as she is with the trainer, there will be no difficulties in life, battle, or work!

Everyone will be together forever, and will meet more new partners!

Looking at Doublade's eyes, Lilligant suddenly put her hands on her hips!

Senior Doublade must be thinking about something impolite again! Eh~

And at this time, Xiang Guangtai found other stone materials and began to carve.

This is an order from Ghetsis and Mustard.

But how to transport it out? The Pokémon Center in Blackthorn City should have a way, right? If it really doesn't work, send more Dragon-type Pokémon and Psychic-type Pokémon over, and move them out all the way with telekinesis.

In the process of carving, the Hisuian Lilligant and Doublade were also watching all the time, and Doublade would occasionally make sounds. Although it laughed at Lilligant's ugly carving, when it really watched Xiang Guangtai carve, it would also explain the key points to Lilligant.

Before he knew it, Doublade already had the demeanor of a carving expert. Lilligant was also listening carefully, while letting her imagination run wild.

Although Senior Doublade always says some unrealistic things, he is actually a very friendly Pokémon. It's just that he is too careless and easily gets carried away.

Xiang Guangtai also let Doublade help in the process of carving, and Lilligant watched carefully, preparing for her own practice.

And at some point, Regirock also woke up.

It stood up, without any movement, just staring at Xiang Guangtai carving.

After a long time, the first stone statue was finished.

【Completed a craft production!】

【Craft Item: Large 【Ancient Stone Statue】—Shenhe Relic Style.】

【Description: A stone statue carved in ancient style, the shape is Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style), possessing lifelike carving and imitation ancient level... some enthusiasts will buy it at a high price.】

【Craft Item Effect: Water Flow Mystery—Water-type Pokémon's offensive ability will have significant growth, training efficiency +25%.】

"Yo-woo~"

Doublade looked at this stone carving. This is the Pokémon in the photo they saw on the computer that day!

I didn't feel much when looking at the photo, but after it became a sculpture, I found that this Pokémon has such a sense of power!

It looks quite powerful!

After Xiang Guangtai finished his work, he saw the Pokémon all watching the stone statue. Doublade and Lilligant were watching Xiang Guangtai's carving techniques, trying to learn, and Regirock seemed to be evaluating, the H-character on its face flickering constantly.

Turtwig opened its mouth slightly, looking at the lifelike stone carving blankly. It felt that the sculpture might move in the next moment. This thought made Turtwig a bit scared.

Beep beep—

The computer in the room made a sound.

Xiang Guangtai looked up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched Turtwig start to cultivate the soil, and returned to the room with Doublade. Lilligant was pondering the stone carving, preparing to overcome her negative ability, and Turtwig stayed by the medicinal materials, performing photosynthesis, curiously tilting its head to look at the Lilligant carving the stone.

Xiang Guangtai walked to the computer and saw a new email. The sender's ID was 【Ice Carving Artist】.

Wait, could this be?

【"I saw your sculpture, carved lifelike, perfectly showing the original appearance of the Pokémon."】

【"Let me introduce myself, I am Pryce from Mahogany Town. I am looking for an item that can strengthen Ice-type Pokémon..."】

【"My practice method is to sit in meditation on cold ice, but recently I feel that sitting in meditation alone has no meaning, so I want to practice in the environment of a heavy snow day, and someone recommended you to me before..."】

"How about Icy Rock?" Xiang Guangtai immediately typed a reply!

【"Sure enough, you have items that meet my requirements. Icy Rock can extend the duration of the Hail move, which is very useful to me. This kind of stone is not easy to find... Let's talk about the price, shall we?"】

【"Also, I am very interested in your sculpture technique. If you have time, I think you can come to Mahogany Town once. We are going to hold an ice carving exhibition in the second half of the year, in mid-October. Your technique is extremely exquisite, and I am looking forward to your work. Of course, there will be special prizes for winning... I won't let you come for nothing."】

【"Just take this as a simple invitation letter..."】

This is an order from Pryce!
