Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Even while still in its egg, the Larvesta could perceive the outside world. It heard and even vaguely 'saw' the source of the power that nurtured it. However, at that time, it couldn't think much and didn't understand what those things were, but instinct made it feel close to them.

A familiar scent, ahead.

The Larvesta wriggled to the back of the large curry pot. It quietly raised its head and saw Calyrex and Walking Wake wandering near the entrance of the training maze in the distance.

"Mela~" The Larvesta stared at the backs of the two Pokémon for a while, confirming they weren't paying attention to this side for the moment, and then secretly stretched its head into the pot.

Those two Pokémon made it feel familiar, as if they had raised it. But the Larvesta missed a pair of warmer hands even more, which should belong to a human... Although it didn't know why it knew the concept of humans, it was certain.

The human had spoken to it.

Grow up strong and healthy!

Right, to grow, it needs to eat!

The source of the aroma was the food in the pot. There was still a lot of food left. Even though it was just born, the Larvesta had a good appetite, and it immediately began to feast while no one was paying attention.

Legend says that Larvesta's food is fire, but many Pokémon also eat normal food, which is beneficial for their body's growth!

Full!

Full...?

After slurping down a large portion of the leftover curry, the Larvesta suddenly raised its head, blinking its adorable blue eyes somewhat blankly.

Although it was delicious, and it felt full while eating, it felt hungry again after finishing.

What's going on?

The Larvesta couldn't figure it out. Its newly born little brain couldn't understand why this was happening, so it could only follow its instincts and continue burying its head in the curry because of hunger. However, as more and more curry was eaten, the food line in the pot was also decreasing, and the Larvesta had to try its best to stuff half of its body inside to get to the food!

Then, the large pot began to turn red!

The special effect of the sweet curry allowed the young Pokémon to grow quickly. The power within the Larvesta was rapidly increasing, and the young Larvesta had no idea how to control this power, especially in a dream. Children's dreams were always whimsical, so flames surged on its five red tentacles, and a scorching energy gradually melted the edge of the large pot into liquid!

The pot gradually lost its original shape. The Larvesta was completely wrapped in curry, devouring it, but the more it ate, the faster it grew, and the more its body needed energy, as if forming an endless cycle!

"Mela..."

The food is gone.

There's really none left!

The Larvesta blinked its blue eyes, understanding the predicament of running out of food after a long while. It puffed out flames, and one side of the iron pot had already been scorched and melted by its ability, 'Flame Body,' and the melted side was facing Calyrex's farm.

The large blue cauliflower came into the Larvesta's sight. Although it didn't emit a very strong aroma, its life instinct was stirring. Only high-quality food would attract Pokémon that needed to grow, just like many Pokémon would autonomously seek out rare berries like Sitrus Berries that were beneficial to their bodies.

When the Larvesta squeezed out of the melted pot, it bumped into a round stone when it landed. The Larvesta twisted its body to look back and found that it was the white round stone that had been giving it fiery power.

This stone looks like an egg, the Larvesta couldn't help but think. Perhaps there is a Pokémon hidden inside this stone as well.

Then, it must also need fire.

Out of a child's kindness, flames appeared on the Larvesta's five tentacles. The five tentacles were evenly distributed on the Larvesta's body, forming a ring resembling the sun.

It patted the Light Stone, muttering several times like an older brother taking care of a younger brother, Mala Mala, meaning don't worry, let me help you hatch.

Then, it spat out flames and, without any teaching, twisted those flames into the shape of a vortex, forming a new move!

『The Light Stone is trapped in a fierce flame vortex!』

"Mela~"

The Larvesta's voice sounded light, because its mood also became cheerful. It twisted its bug butt, wriggling away, and felt the intense emotions coming from within the Light Stone. The Larvesta's mood became even happier.

It's thanking me, but no thanks are needed, this is what I should do!

Humming an ancient tune, it advanced towards the blue Radiant Flower!

It didn't know what this tune was, but it was the song it often heard when it hadn't hatched yet. It was a sound deeply etched in its memory, hard to forget.

Accompanying the melodious humming, the Larvesta wriggled into the farm. Vaguely, along with the song, the crops in the farm seemed to swell slightly and continue to grow, but because the Larvesta couldn't control its power, the growth seemed to be too fast. The radish leaves that hadn't been pulled out in the farm began to wither and dehydrate, and then quickly burned.

『Walking Wake, how did you get your head stuck in there!』

In front of the training maze, Walking Wake was too curious about the space inside the small house, so it tried hard to insert its head diagonally. After all, this house must be freely accessible to the Swords of Justice, so the entrance was quite wide. Terrakion, the most robust of the Swords of Justice, could also go straight in and out, but for Walking Wake, its huge crest and physique still made it suffer a bit in the entry process.

Now it was stuck at the door and couldn't pull its head out!

"Awoo awoo awoo~"

Walking Wake's two tails swung around restlessly, its head constantly turning inside, searching for direction like a spinning top. Calyrex tried to pull it out with telekinesis from the outside, but with little effect. Fortunately, the Swords of Justice and Glastrier discovered that Walking Wake was stuck at the door. A helpless comforting voice came from inside the maze, causing Calyrex to wipe the sweat that was coming out of his big head.

『You really don't make things easy! Um... Umm! Why is my farm on fire!』

Calyrex was just about to cooperate with Glastrier's order to modify the width of the stone house entrance when it suddenly sniffed and smelled the smell of burning. Its big head suddenly turned and found that the farm planted with radishes and a bunch of ancient seeds was on fire!

Something was advancing towards the Radiant Flower inside the flames!

『No! That's my hard work!』

Calyrex directly threw the hoe away and used telekinesis to quickly teleport itself near the farm, while the culprit had already climbed onto the Radiant Flower, and this bright and beautiful huge crop was about to burn!

Calyrex quickly raised his hand, and the not fully recovered telekinesis swept across the flames. At the same time, water vapor surged from his hands, and a faint mist was cast by Calyrex as if by magic, but from a distance, it looked as if Calyrex himself had become a sprinkler.

The mist sprinkled on the scorched radishes and crops, and the ashes quickly merged into the soil. The parts that had not been scorched began to grow new buds. This was Calyrex's move, 'Life Dew'!

"Mela..."

The Larvesta, which was lying on the Radiant Flower and chewing on the outer skin, was splashed by the water-type move, and steam immediately rose from its body. It shook its fiery tentacles unhappily, and the next moment, it was pulled down from the huge crop by Calyrex's telekinesis!

It used powerful telekinesis, but unlike before, this time Calyrex did not feel weak. This was all thanks to the Radiant Dishes' enhancement, and the settlement of the Swords of Justice also gave Calyrex more faith. Of course, this faith was only 'being known'.

As long as someone knows of Calyrex's existence, it will automatically provide it with some faith, although this faith is not strong, it can maintain Calyrex's daily activities and survival.

"Mela Mela..." The Larvesta was very dissatisfied with Calyrex interrupting its meal! However, Calyrex was full of a familiar and comfortable aura for it, because Calyrex had used Heal Pulse on it when it was still in egg form, saving its life.

So the Larvesta wriggled to Calyrex's side and rubbed against Calyrex very affectionately, then turned around and firmly climbed towards the Radiant Flower again.

『Hey! Wait for me!』 A flash of inspiration ran through Calyrex's big head. Telekinesis was thrown out again, directly carrying the Larvesta away from the farm. The Larvesta blinked its blue eyes and thought for a moment.

Oh! So you want to play a racing game?

But I'm very hungry now, so I won't play with you. I want to eat first!

The Larvesta muttered to itself, making Mala Mala sounds, then rubbed against Calyrex again, suddenly finding that Calyrex's big head was very similar to that cauliflower.

Eh? Is this the same food?

The Larvesta was very large, directly knocking Calyrex down, and tentatively took a bite of its big head!

『Larvesta used Bug Bite, it's super effective on wild Calyrex.』

At the same time, flames suddenly rose from Calyrex's body.

『Calyrex is burned by 'Flame Body'!』
