Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

"Another rare stone!" Steven's eyes lit up first, but seeing Raimu's speechless expression, he immediately restrained himself a bit, coughing a few times awkwardly.

No choice, after all, he heard news of another precious stone. The instinct of a gem collector was urging him!

Moreover, there was news of Registeel, the legendary Black Steel. Steven also really wanted to see it. If possible, buying it with money would be the most cost-effective, wouldn't it? Just defeat Registeel.

Steven shifted his gaze, but quickly focused on the pile of "apology stones" that Ursaluna had brought in the corner.

What are those stones? He didn't seem to have seen them before!

Steven was so happy. The new stones he gained from visiting the Divine Capital were more than he could dig up in Hoenn in half a year!

He crouched down to study those strange stones. Raimu also glanced at them, discovering that those stones seemed to be... On the surface, they looked like ordinary stones, but now that he had mastered the mysteries of rocks and advanced petrology knowledge, he could tell at a glance that those stones were different.

Raimu walked over and picked up a stone.

『Rare Material: Effort Stone』

『Description: Looks like an ordinary stone, but possesses a magical power, an incredible stone. Can increase a Pokémon's Effort Levels.』

Raimu: "This, this is an Effort Stone?"

Steven: "Oh? You recognize it again?"

Raimu: ".Recognize it again... Indeed, I recognize it. This is a magical stone that can increase... um, it has a similar effect to the wooden sculptures I sell in my shop!"

Steven's expression immediately became serious.

"So, these stones are quite valuable!" He began to think about whether he had any "goods" on hand that were worthy of the value of these stones.

He had to exchange these stones for some to take back to Devon!

Moreover, Mr. Raimu's knowledge is truly vast, and he always encounters rare stones. Could it be that his luck in mining stones is maxed out?!

His meeting with Raimu was indeed destined...

Raimu was also thinking.

The Effort Levels raised by the Effort Stone can be regarded as an increase in Effort Values + Base Stats, a very powerful special stone!

Raimu clicked his tongue. He didn't expect Ursaluna to bring back this kind of thing from the depths of the forest. If the Effort Stone was given to Regirock as a precious stone and an apology, then what would the larger stone that Ursaluna described in a very abstract way be?

Could it be a giant Effort Rock?

Raimu couldn't determine what it was, but he was sure it shouldn't be an Evolution Stone.

As for Moss Rock and Ice Rock... it didn't seem like it either.

"Well, just to be on the safe side, let's ask Registeel first and see if it's willing to help," Raimu and Steven made an action plan, and then asked Ursaluna in confusion, didn't the Steel Titan want to help you restore the land, or didn't you tell it the reason?

"Gachi!"

Ursaluna scratched its head.

Of course, it told him, but it knocked on a hammer point with unclear meaning, and also said some strange things like wanting it to take it itself. In short, it just didn't want to help.

"Regi--" Regirock began to think.

Although Rock-types are generally considered to have no brains, Regirock often thinks about useful things, such as now, it guessed why the Steel Titan was unwilling to take out the Earth Plate.

Perhaps it was because... it wanted to "create ore and change the surrounding geological environment."

Registeel had done this a long time ago. After all, it taught early humans how to enter the Iron Age, but its personality was very stubborn. Perhaps it was reminiscing about the past settlements, or maybe it just simply wanted to forge something.

"Refine high-quality steel?!"

This time, it was Raimu's turn to have his eyes light up!

High-quality steel is a necessary item for nurturing Steel-type Pokémon. If Registeel really had this plan, then wouldn't its Black Steel Temple be a natural steel mill!

Maybe it could even create a unique metal that wasn't Black Steel, but an item called "Composite Metal!"

"I have to become friends with it!"

Raimu muttered. Regirock's temple had become a place for stone trading, which could help him create various ancient rocks and mine different minerals, while the Black Steel Temple could quickly process these minerals, so what abilities would the Iceberg Temple have?

Wouldn't Regice be an ice sculpture artist? Or is it really a large ice-cold storage?

Raimu thought of the 'Terrain Modification'.

This skill could be used now?

To completely explore the surrounding terrain. If the Earth Plate could also change the geological environment, then could even the location of the land or buildings be moved? Just like in myths and legends, Regigigas dragged the continent with ropes...?!

Multiple skills and special items could create incredible effects. Raimu was already fantasizing about this result, or it wouldn't be impossible to create a few "shortcut routes" through the maze technology.

It would be even better if he could capture a Melmetal! This Pokémon can produce high-quality iron and has been worshiped since ancient times for its power to produce iron!

Black Steel Ruins.

Registeel was sorting out various "legacy facilities" in the temple. Unlike Regirock's simple rock mountain ruins, the Black Steel Ruins had a large number of forging and smelting tools left behind, such as anvils, sledgehammers, crucibles, files, iron tongs, fire pits, casting molds, and ancient charcoal that had rotted into ashes.

The giant stone statue in the center was transformed into a huge steel furnace. It was clearly a Steel-type Pokémon but was not afraid of flames, which would make any Steel-type Pokémon exclaim that it was impossible.

Next to the giant furnace was a palm-sized light brown plate, which was the Earth Plate, emitting power outward. Registeel stared at the plate, and thoughts emerged in its mind.

This was an item passed down from the Mythological Age, from the Divine Capital Temple, but that temple should be a ruin now.

With this plate, forging minerals could be continuously produced around the temple, even if those who once loved forging were gone... but the temple was still here!

Registeel felt a trace of loneliness.

The life of an Eternal Pokémon was too long, while the lifespan of those humans was too short. The friends who once learned how to forge from it all died after waking up, and the feeling of emptiness, anger, and powerlessness impacted its mind, making it almost out of control!

The steel furnace could not burn either, and all the charcoal was useless. It had to get this temple running again.

If no humans needed it, if there was no work and it was not needed...

The forests here would be burned into charcoal, and then the land would be turned into iron ore layers that could be smelted and forged!

It had to wait until those humans came back! No Pokémon were allowed to approach this land!

"Beep beep beep--!"

The symbols on Registeel's face flashed a circle, sensing a familiar and powerful aura. It immediately picked up its iron hammer and walked out of the temple, seeing the giant bear that had returned, but this time, the giant bear brought a bunch of helpers!

Humans!

Registeel discovered Raimu and Steven, but its attention quickly focused on Raimu, because Raimu gave it a rather familiar feeling - yes, the same feeling as those forging craftsmen!

You, are also a blacksmith?

"That's Registeel, really carrying an iron hammer!"

Raimu was also a little shocked by this fact.

Your "Giant Hammer" is probably illegal, right?

"Beep beep beep-- Regi--"

Registeel looked at Regirock next to Ursaluna. It was very surprised, questioning Regirock why it had been missing for so long but was mixed up with a wild Pokémon and wanted to attack its temple?

And how had Regirock's appearance changed? It was also covered with a bunch of glowing moss. Was it cosplaying Regigigas?

"Registeel, we want to borrow the Earth Plate from you. We can exchange it with you for special items. What do you need?"

Raimu stepped forward to negotiate, and Regirock also helped persuade it from the side, but after the light spots on Registeel's face flashed frequently, it tightened its grip on the hammer!

If you want it, then come and get it!

"Regi--" Regirock spread its hands.

Well, the negotiation failed. It still planned to use force to determine the winner. After all, it was a stubborn personality and not so easy to change.

"For battles with Steel-type Pokémon, Mr. Steven, do you have any suggestions?"

Raimu looked at the Steel-type expert beside him.

"Ordinary people only think that Steel-type Pokémon are good at defense, but if the defensive energy is transformed into offensive power, it will be a terrifying power." Steven carefully stared at the strange giant in front of him:

"A trainer I know also owns a Registeel. Registeel concentrates and releases Steel-type energy during battle. Its body is very strong and won't be injured no matter how it is attacked, but its speed is slower. Steel-type Pokémon are afraid of Ground, Fighting, and Fire-type moves, but judging from what Ursaluna said earlier, this Registeel is unusual and cannot be hurt by Ground and Fire."

"Fighting then..." Steven glanced at the giant hammer again.

There is a high wall between unarmed and armed.

"Dong dong--" Regirock suddenly stood out. It showed its desire to fight, which was the first time since Raimu met it.

"Rock... Steel-type Pokémon are not afraid of Rock-type moves, they are not very effective... But, that's right, Regirock knows Stone Edge!" Steven's eyes lit up.

Raimu also nodded:

"Then it's decided. No, I'm counting on you, Regirock!"

"Regi--!"

Regirock raised its arms high. After spending so many days in the workshop, its strength was completely different from a thousand years ago. Facing its former giant brethren, Regirock decided to fight it personally!

"Here, this is for you." Steven took out a special stone from his belt, which looked like it had burn marks on it. Raimu was a little puzzled. Steven explained with a smile:

"Regirock has the power to dig stones and repair itself. It can absorb the energy in the rocks, so I think this stone should have some effect on it. This is a meteorite fragment. At Devon Corporation, meteorite fragments obtained from Meteor Falls are the source of powerful energy."

Raimu took the meteorite fragment, which felt a little warm. This was also a type of item in the game.

"Then just in case, let's use this too." Raimu took out the "Life Orb"!
