Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Chapter 25: New Member of the Workshop +1

June 14th.

Weather: Cloudy, light rain.

After several days of sunny and cloudy weather, it finally rained today.

The rain isn't heavy, just right; no need to water the plants today.

Recently, many items have been sold, and the funds have suddenly become plentiful!

Yesterday afternoon, Guāng Tái went to the village and brought back an anvil, placing it in the forging room. At the same time, Guāng Tǎ also purchased a batch of "Jingjing Honey" online.

This is an important material for making Rare Candies, but since I haven't obtained the most important Muzi Berry yet, purchasing Jingjing Honey is just advance preparation.

Today, Guāng Tái is in a good mood. He opens the door, holding an umbrella, and heads to the herb and crop fields.

On the outer edge of the field, near the herbs, the familiar leaves appear once again.

However, this time the leaves are damaged, and two are even broken. The Petilil is buried in the soil, not entering the field.

She only stays on the edge, not far from the field, seemingly believing that this way, she won't be driven away by Guāng Tái. Beside her is a white seed pod.

"Clearly, you lost."

This time, she's beaten even worse than last time. Guāng Tái walks to her side and tries to pull her out. The Petilil immediately makes a dissatisfied "Peti" sound, but quickly realizes that the owner of the house has come out, so she strains to poke her head out of the soil.

Indeed, not only have the injuries that were healed last time increased, but the wounds are also very deep, which is rare in the Pokémon world.

However, some wounds are different from the majority of the overall injuries, probably caused by an attack from Bug-type Pokémon when she was weakened later.

"Peti~"

The Petilil looks at Guāng Tái, then looks at the Revival Herb not far away, and then pushes the seed pod beside her towards Guāng Tái.

"No, it hasn't grown well yet, it's only been two or three days." Guāng Tái replies helplessly. The Petilil nods, then doesn't move much anymore.

She doesn't even have the strength to jump this time.

Guāng Tái picks up the white seed pod.

[Rare Material: White Seed Pod]

[Description: A white seed pod with no fragrance. Seed pods only appear in fertile soil.]

[Gained Knowledge: 1]

[Lush Land: The crops/herbs/trees you plant will increase the surrounding vitality, and the land's fertility will recover faster.]

"Is it because your habitat was taken away? I heard people say that the struggles in the forest are fierce, but you shouldn't be from the depths of the Shindou Forest, right?"

Guāng Tái asks her. The Petilil raises her head slightly:

"Peti~ Peti."

At this time, the Honedge also floats out. As Guāng Tái's loyal translator, it relays Petilil's words.

She lives on the outer edge of the forest, not in the depths of the Shindou Forest. She says she's just borrowing the soil nearby to recover her physical condition, and she will leave soon and won't bring danger to this herb field.

"Peti Peti."

If necessary, she can use leaves to exchange for potions and herbs, but how did you know that her habitat was taken away?

"I have some understanding of your habits. You are a social Pokémon, and there is often a Lilligant as the leader."

Guāng Tái listens to Honedge's relay and feels a little embarrassed. This embarrassment stems from the special feeling of being like a bad guy.

But this Petilil's personality is really special; she doesn't want to trouble others and insists on using leaves to exchange for corresponding medicinal materials.

A stubborn personality is sometimes wonderful.

"Peti~"

The Petilil replies weakly.

Honedge relays:

She abandoned the leader.

Guāng Tái's expression becomes a little puzzled.

"Not that the Lilligant abandoned you, but you abandoned the Lilligant?"

This question is quickly answered by Petilil, and in this process, Guāng Tái still finds wound medicine, Energy Root, and Berries as usual. After eating the food and using the medicine, Petilil's condition improves.

In her answer, because her companions, including the leader, were unwilling to take back the habitat, she abandoned them and went to snatch it back alone. Weak Pokémon will have their homes taken away by powerful Pokémon, so as long as she becomes stronger, she can take it back.

Many Grass-type Pokémon don't like to fight, but there are also some with more special personalities and characteristics. They are often rebels in the group. Guāng Tái doesn't know why, but he thinks of Ash's Sceptile.

Ash's Sceptile, back when it was a Treecko, was once a rebel in the group.

And the way for Pokémon to become stronger is also very simple: fighting, constantly fighting in the wild, accumulating experience to reach the conditions for evolution, or learning more moves.

However, Petilil's evolution doesn't just rely on increasing experience points; she must find a Sun Stone.

"Fighting, failing, getting injured, healing, continuing to fight."

"Has the chance of winning increased? How many times have you fought since your habitat was taken away?"

Guāng Tái asks, but Petilil doesn't remember very clearly, at least more than a dozen times.

In other words, before Guāng Tái moved here, she had already been constantly fighting with other Pokémon, starting before summer, in that harsh winter and cold spring.

"The habitat was taken away in winter or spring, because the warm and nutritious soil is conducive to life... The Pokémon that took the habitat is also a Grass-type? But there should be other additional types."

"Do you need help?"

However, facing Guāng Tái's kind inquiry, Petilil stares at Guāng Tái for a long time, neither shaking her head nor nodding, but making a loud sound:

"Peti! Peti!"

This time, the sound is no longer gentle but full of unwillingness and anger.

If she doesn't take back the habitat on her own, those companions won't reflect. They will only say that she took back the habitat by relying on the power of others, and once the person helping leaves, this place will be taken away again by another Pokémon, and everything will be as if nothing happened!

Therefore, she must rely on herself, she must evolve!

What she needs to become stronger is not temporary help, but true strength. For this, she can give anything, although she only has the leaves on her head as exchange material. If you don't mind, take them all!

Guāng Tái is a little moved. Generally speaking, weak Pokémon will look for Trainers or live in symbiosis with powerful Pokémon to obtain a stable life. Following a Trainer can make them stronger, and living in symbiosis with powerful Pokémon can be mutually beneficial.

However, stubbornly insisting on honing herself, even thinking that Trainers are also unstable external forces, this kind of Pokémon...

Guāng Tái's thoughts are a little complicated, but Honedge is very moved. It floats to Petilil's side and comforts her with its blue ribbon!

Yo!

A long time ago, some knights I met had your spirit!

Honing your strength and defeating powerful enemies is a process of surpassing yourself!

I support you!

Honedge is very moved. It tells Petilil that it wants to help Petilil train!

"Yo~!"

I used to be a knight's sword!

And I have a glorious record of slaying dragons!

In ancient times, it was enough to be recorded in history and sung!

"That was just defeating a Gible, not a Garchomp. Even if you are a dragon slayer, killing a baby dragon doesn't mean you are strong, right?"

Guāng Tái ruthlessly exposes the truth, but Honedge says again, what about baby dragons? I am still a baby sword!

Honedge immediately pats its scabbard to guarantee Petilil:

"Yo!" (⊙)/~!

I am very strong, and this person is also very strong. As long as you are trained by us and wear the道具 we make, there is no enemy you cannot defeat!

"Yes." Guāng Tái actively suggests:

"If you want to become stronger, then come and help me work. Working can make you stronger, plus the training Honedge mentioned... It's okay, weak Pokémon can become strong, you just need to make good use of move combinations and have a strong will!"

"So, it's settled then."

Guāng Tái takes out a Poké Ball: "A Trainer in the Johto region once said this—strong Pokémon, weak Pokémon, that's just people's subjective opinions."

"You will definitely become stronger."

And Petilil looks at the Poké Ball and slaps it almost without hesitation!

The red light puts Petilil into the ball, and the Poké Ball stops almost without shaking!

"I caught Petilil!"
