We didn’t even get any talismans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a ruin in the Paldea region, Reho stared gloomily at her Poké Device, where the shop of Guang Tai was prominently displayed—again, both the Purifying Talisman and the Cursing Talisman had sold out this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d only managed to grab a dozen before they were gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who the heck is buying all these talismans? We found a treasure trove of a shop, yet now there’s a crowd snatching up these useful talismans—can’t these spirit mediums just make their own?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talismans are meant to be used where they’re truly needed—like me. I constantly enter ruins to retrieve precious treasures, enduring the risks of curses. Grave-robbing in ruins is life-threatening—who else is more suited to use these talismans than I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the grumbling Reho, Gengar and Sableye were chuckling—they were Reho’s Pokémon, having accompanied her into countless ruins, yet this was the first time they’d seen her look so frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gengar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gengar patted Reho’s shoulder, as if to say this sort of thing happens all the time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not being able to grab a hot item when shopping? No, wait—you actually did grab some!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only got a dozen! That’s nowhere near enough—these talismans are single-use consumables! You need to stock up on hundreds, especially in ruins where curses are everywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shenhezhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Lan, wearing the Pure Pendant, handed it to an elderly woman—her grandmother, Dr. Jiezi Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh oh, the craftsmanship truly resembles ancient talismans, and the carving style is… a pendant composed of both shell and core—could this be the true form of ancient talismans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Jiezi Lan examined the pendant, then looked at Zhu Lan: “So you plan to investigate the Sinnoh region soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… but first I must settle some matters here—it will take some time. And it’s not just Sinnoh—I ultimately aim for the Divine Land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Lan’s expression was serious: “That forgotten ancient land bears resemblance to ancient Sinnoh—I confirmed this with Professor Sanyi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But before that, I must study this pendant. So far, I’ve concluded it’s crafted from an unknown stone and a peculiar crystal, slowly emitting energy remarkably similar to that of a Pokémon with the ‘Eternal Pure Body’ ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meanwhile, the strange patterns on the pendant seem to guide a mysterious energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I go to the Divine Land, I’ll return as quickly as possible. Team Galactic appears to be making moves—though they haven’t shown their hand yet, I feel they’re plotting something. Frankly, this organization has always been odd.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In ancient texts, I found mention of a Team Galactic from long ago—I wonder if it’s connected to the current one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? If you’re going, take this,” Dr. Jiezi Lan pulled out a talisman, similar yet distinct from the ancient one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a protective amulet passed down from ancient Sinnoh, seemingly made to pray to a deity, crafted from the rare sky-blue jade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s called the ‘Safety Talisman.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The carving technique also bears some resemblance to this Pure Pendant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If possible, invite him to Shenhezhen—he might revive the lost ancient talisman-making techniques of this town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Lan smiled and nodded: “Understood. I’ll invite him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Dr. Jiezi Lan suddenly remembered something and added quickly: “Oh, and that other thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw in his shop something called ‘Double Pickles,’ but it’s sold out and out of stock—could you bring me back a batch? If you can get the recipe, even better!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh oh, blazing charcoal hotter than the oak forest’s charcoal?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boosts the power of Fire-type moves? Even Fire-type experts are buying it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Sinnoh region, in the city of Misaki, a man with a red spiky hair and a yellow shirt was viewing Guang Tai’s shop interface. He was Da Ye, one of Sinnoh’s Elite Four, a Fire-type specialist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was interested in the Shell Bell and the Bold Band, what truly captivated him was the item named “Blazing Charcoal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boosts Fire-type move power, and prolonged carrying enhances the Fire-type Pokémon’s strength—this is practically custom-made for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Da Ye stood Denji, the Gym Leader of Misaki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had yellow hair and a blue shirt—he was Da Ye’s friend and a formidable trainer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So how did you even find this shop?” Denji asked. Da Ye shrugged: “I found it myself! I heard the oak forest charcoal from Johto was famous, so I went searching.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And look how great it turned out! Don’t lose heart—this shop’s owner keeps restocking weird gear. Look at these strange glass whistles—I only knew about the glass whistles from Hoenn, but those didn’t have nearly this many unique effects!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I equip my whole team with this charcoal, my Elite Four ranking will climb! Maybe I’ll even challenge the Champion! I’ve waited for this day too long—just thinking about it gets me fired up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Denji rubbed his chin in thought, then quickly pressed the order button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strange gear was definitely worth buying—though its move-boosting effect was far weaker than natural magnets, it had two extra benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Glass Whistle: When blown by a Trainer or Pokémon, it detects electrical energy, improving the training of Electric-type Pokémon. While in electrical sensing mode, the user cannot be hit by critical strikes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Electrical energy—is that natural ions? If it can concentrate electricity, this whistle is far superior to magnets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect for training Electric-type Pokémon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Da Ye dreamed of challenging Zhu Lan and becoming Sinnoh’s new Champion, Denji aimed to challenge the Elite Four, knock one down, and take their place—though recently, weak challengers had drained his motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter—he’d recently met several kids, and with their help, he’d regained his drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Gym Leader, he had to accept that challengers varied in skill—he should set his sights on the long term!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Galar region, outside of Moton City, Second Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man with streaks of gray in his hair was panting heavily, beside him a long-bodied Pokémon resembling a fiery centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Kawa, Gym Leader of Moton City; the Pokémon beside him was his partner, Infernape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infernape, a Fire\u002FBug-type Pokémon, had a body like a centipede with twelve segments, entirely crimson, with dark brown dorsal plates, four burning flames at head and tail, a yellow heat generator on its belly, and ten pairs of legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Second Mine housed many Water-type Pokémon, Kawa trained here. But lately, he’d lost too many battles, and his mindset had shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite grueling training, he was still defeated by challengers. Partly because he held back—but even so, his Pokémon shouldn’t be this fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ku…” Infernape’s mood was also low. Kawa noticed and immediately comforted it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, old friend. We’ll grow stronger. This loss is temporary—we’ll train harder next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ku!” Infernape nodded—it would keep going, always believing in Kawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after comforting Infernape, Kawa himself fell into confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was his training or breeding method flawed? Perhaps it wasn’t the Pokémon’s fault—it was his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Methods for breeding Fire-type Pokémon...\" With a try-it-out attitude, Kawa opened his Poké Device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long ago, when he was a Trainer in Hoenn, he’d been mentored by a Fire-type Elite Four member, learning many techniques for breeding Fire-types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, seeking greater strength, he left Hoenn for distant Galar, trained there, and became Gym Leader of Moton—years had passed since then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he grown too old? Were his old methods obsolete?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kawa smiled bitterly to himself, searching his Poké Device for Fire-type breeding items—perhaps he should buy more charcoal to help his partners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blazing Charcoal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange shop appeared in his search. Its items weren’t many, but each had bizarre descriptions that seemed unreal—yet one item, Blazing Charcoal, caught his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oak Forest Blazing Charcoal? Ah yes—the most famous charcoal was from the Oak Forest in Johto. Though Hoenn’s Kainan Town had similar charcoal-making techniques, the materials differed greatly, so the effects were very different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire-type move power greatly increases. Prolonged carrying gradually enhances Fire-type energy and awakens the Pokémon’s potential…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Oak Forest charcoal really this powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kawa was puzzled and searched for more information on Oak Forest charcoal—but sadly, the Oak Forest Charcoal Shop hadn’t started online sales yet; it only operated offline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a try-it attitude, Kawa thought carefully, then clicked “Order.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though expensive, if the charcoal truly worked as described, it might help him immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Johto region, inside the Dragon’s Den in Violet City, a red-haired boy was browsing Guang Tai’s shop via his Poké Device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was training with his Pokémon in the Dragon’s Den and, by chance, stumbled upon this shop selling battle items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reviewing the shop’s offerings and giving it some thought, he purchased “Double Pickles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Unova region, on Fashion Street in Castelia City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle Company, 55th Floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man dressed like a janitor was flipping through his Poké Device—he was the company’s CEO, Xin Zhizhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he’d just wanted to search for battle-related news to better collect public battle data and feedback for updating a virtual battle software—but he’d stumbled upon something interesting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly are these items in this online store?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, I’ve found something even more interesting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1521,"2026-06-19T14:14:16.243Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","131d72451e008cf3acf6e2a1f514928ba756ec01976eef8724bfe3ccbb869d8a","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-90","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-88",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaster-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-cover.jpg"]
