Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

After purchasing the Arceus sculpture, Professor Elm also ordered a Slugma sculpture. The product description stated that the Slugma sculpture could warm the surrounding area, functioning like a fireplace without flames, which seemed quite practical.

"The sculpture probably has a heating device inside. But this effect is quite similar to Slugma's natural characteristics. The ground temperature tends to be higher in places where Slugma gather. In cold regions, some people keep Slugma in their fireplaces to heat their entire house."

"Speaking of which, it still can't be shipped directly? It has to be transferred from Johto to Kanto, and then to Sinnoh. The shipping fee is a bit expensive."

Professor Elm pondered while reviewing the function descriptions of other sculptures.

The Slugma sculpture's function is heating. The Charizard sculpture's function is to make flames burn brighter.

The Scyther sculpture enhances chopping power. The Charmander sculpture makes the air scorching.

The Dragonite sculpture makes it less prone to abnormal conditions. The Natu sculpture can predict one thing every day.

The Snorlax sculpture's function is to quell external forces and calm the mind. Quell external forces? What does that mean?

"Hmm, the more I look at it, the more something feels off. This shop's products aren't scams, are they? If they don't work, I'm going to complain to that Oak guy. He's the one who told me to pay attention to this strange shop. If I get scammed, it's all Oak's fault!"

"That's 200,000 Pokédollars!"

"And there's Gengar and Lairon... Wait, Lairon is off the shelves?! This product is no longer available. Out of stock?"

Sinnoh Region, Battle Castle.

A young butler dressed in a butler's uniform, consisting of a standard tailcoat and purple trousers, with a strange slicked-back hairstyle, was staring at the screen of his Rotom Phone.

"A rather ancient-looking statue, a Snorlax sculpture, can slightly calm the mind."

"Hmm, was the person who made this sculpture a psychic?"

He was the castle butler of the Battle Castle, one of the Battle Frontier facilities, and a man named Dahlia. The person he served, the true owner of this Battle Castle, was a girl named Caitlin.

The girl possessed powerful psychic abilities. In fact, she should have been the real Frontier Brain. However, whenever Caitlin became emotionally agitated, her powerful psychic abilities would immediately spiral out of control, so she was forbidden from participating in battles.

However, the girl gradually recognized her immaturity and resolved to change herself. She underwent a period of training and磨砺, and was about to embark on a journey to the distant Unova region, where she would surely achieve incredible accomplishments.

Perhaps in just a few months, he would hear news of Miss Caitlin making a name for herself there.

In order to find a way to help Miss Caitlin master the psychic abilities within her body more quickly, Dahlia, as an all-around butler, searched online and quickly found Traveler's Workshop on a webpage on his Rotom Phone.

"Hmm, if this statue really has the effect of calming mental agitation, perhaps it can also quell the runaway psychic powers, allowing Miss Caitlin to better control her own power! Let's give this statue to Miss Caitlin as a farewell gift."

Johto Region, Ecruteak City.

"Even though it was recommended by Professor Elm..."

A strange workshop, a strange craftsman, and strange yet powerful charms!

Morty felt the spiritual power on the charm, and this spiritual power was vastly different from the spiritual power he had cultivated.

"What a strange spiritual power, as if it came from another world, yes, like the power of the spirit world."

"The craftsman who made the charm is a powerful 'Shugyōsha'!"

Shugyōsha are a type of spiritualist who have gained unique abilities through rigorous spiritual training. Morty's pride was his clairvoyance, which allowed him to see what the client wanted to see through spiritual power, no matter how far away.

At the same time, Morty was a person who sought Ho-Oh.

Initially, Professor Elm recommended this shop to him and hoped that he would investigate the shop's items. This was considered a formal request, but after actually purchasing these charms, Morty realized that his spiritual power seemed to be quite different from the other party's.

This difference was not in the total amount of spiritual power, but in the methods of using and the source of the spiritual power.

"I obtained spiritual power through spiritual training, but the craftsman who made this charm may be a natural spiritualist."

"Such people also exist."

Whether it was Morty himself, or other well-known spiritualists, such as Phoebe of the Hoenn region's Elite Four, she also obtained powerful spiritual power after training on Mt. Pyre.

There were also some spiritualists who suddenly gained the ability to see ghosts after recovering from the brink of death, which was also a case of receiving the call of the spirit world and gaining spiritual power.

Natural spiritualists are very rare, but whenever they appear, they will show extraordinary spiritual talent.

Morty exhaled slightly. These charms did indeed greatly help his cultivation, including those cursed charms, and he had verified the functions of the charms with Gengar and the others, and they were very powerful!

At the same time, the shrine maidens, prayer givers, and spiritualists who gathered in the Ecruteak Gym to cultivate spiritual power also praised these charms!

"Perhaps I should invite that craftsman to Ecruteak City."

Morty muttered to himself, but once this idea arose, he couldn't suppress it. But inviting someone to visit here, is it to ask the other party to share his cultivation experience, or to ask the other party to make a batch of charms on the spot?

These behaviors don't seem very polite.

"I have to prepare some gifts, I'll give him my insights on spiritual power cultivation."

Check out my Pokémon, whether it's Misdreavus or Gengar, they seem to like these charms very much.

These unique charms can enhance their ghost energy!

Very suitable for raising Ghost-type Pokémon!

And Gengar and the others also realized that there was also Pokémon's type energy in this charm, a Pokémon they had never seen before!

For this reason, Morty also used clairvoyance once, but he did not peep at Kōdai, but was searching for that Pokémon.

Finally, Morty saw a Pokémon that looked like a sword, and was quite lively. He had never seen such a Pokémon!

In the observation of clairvoyance, this Pokémon and its owner seemed to be quite close, with deep bonds.

"Powerful, innate spiritual power, that's right... If it's this person, maybe he can... see Ho-Oh."

Morty thought of the ancient legends of Ecruteak City. Even the arduous cultivation he himself was conducting was to fulfill a part of this ancient legend.

In this Ecruteak City, people have regarded Pokémon as gods to worship since a long time ago.

Moreover, the legendary Pokémon will descend in front of the trainer with true strength.

That's what the legend says... Morty has always believed in this beautiful legend, so since birth, he has been conducting secret and arduous cultivation here.

And Morty once believed that the shadow of the person who could summon the legendary Pokémon to this land must be himself!

However, the reality is that Morty has done a lot of cultivation, but still can't summon Ho-Oh.

Morty knew that he was not chosen by the legendary Pokémon... But this does not mean that his future will disappear. Before seeing a bright future, he will continue to cultivate!

And this time, maybe...

"Powerful trainer... This craftsman has such a strong spiritual talent, and also a unique Ghost-type Pokémon."

"This kind of innate power will bear some kind of destiny, generally speaking, that's how it is, it really makes me more and more expectant!"
