Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

"Relic carving craftsmanship.?"

Koutai frowned in thought.

If it's about carving, my family's traditional craft is carving.

But relic stones, doesn't that refer to the stone bricks inside the ruins, or the rocks outside? And what does 'symbolic stone slab' mean?

I also don't know what it does, which is normal since I haven't actually obtained this material yet, but there's no rush.

The Divine Capital Ruins are in the nearby mountains, although the journey is a bit far, it's summer now, the window period to enter the ruins.

This land only has 4 months without snow, from early summer to late autumn.

And in the Pokémon world, the first well-known figure in carving that Koutai thinks of is the Paldea region's carving artist, Kofu.

Each region has some mysterious carvings, but few know who created them, which is also a hidden setting in the Pokémon world. Stone carving masters don't like to be famous.

Of course, there are also Rhyhorn sculptures that often appear in the ruins, but those sculptors have long passed away.

As for the Gym sculptures, as Koutai saw when browsing the original owner's memories, the original owner's family would often carve stone statues for the Gyms. In some Rock-type Gyms, the original owner's father would also go to repair and redo the reliefs and stone decorations in the Gym.

Although there are still many questions in his mind, things about Pokémon always feel quite magical, and he can't help but think more.

During this process, Doublade had been waiting on the side, just standing there for a while, until Koutai pinched up the shining strange stone, and suddenly found Doublade staring blankly at him.

"{}"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Speaking of which, this guy's eyes, the two [ˋˊ] on the scabbard are more like eyes.

But at this time, Doublade was thinking——

This gem is different from the way I used to wear it, this is what a gem should look like!

I knew I shouldn't have given it to you!

"Oh, could it be attracted to it? Right, try wearing it."

Koutai handed the Evolution Stone to Doublade, who hesitated for a moment, wrapped the Evolution Stone with a blue ribbon, and then placed it on his hilt. To Koutai's surprise, an embedding slot automatically appeared on the hilt, and the gem snapped in perfectly.

Koutai immediately began to think.

Sure enough, although Doublade doesn't have a mouth to eat and belongs to the Mineral Egg Group, it has a dual Ghost and Steel type. The two types already explain its essence. It is both a soul and an ancient sword itself. Manipulating the ancient sword to produce slight changes in form is easy.

Speaking of which, in the previous anime, there seemed to be Aegislash that "folded to slash people." I always thought it was an exaggerated drawing used in battle to show tension, but now it seems quite "realistic."

Although it is a Mineral Egg Group, in the definition of the Pokémon world, it is still a . creature. Hey, what kind of creature folds into three!

"Yo!"

After obtaining the Evolution Stone, Doublade immediately felt that the toughness of his sword body had been greatly improved. This feeling was very subtle. The stone used to be an ordinary gem, but now, it seems to be "alive!"

Not only came alive, but also resonated with itself, bit by bit mobilizing some kind of power in its body, and forming a continuous cycle, although it is very weak, but this feeling is very good!

Doublade blinked its single eye and made a sound to Koutai:

"Yo!"

I've worn it, it feels great!

"Hard, tough, looks like it's in good condition." Koutai smiled: "Keep wearing it until it's sold. Well, I guess you can wear it for a few more days. The customer hasn't replied to me yet, and now this stone can gradually grow your defense ability."

"But I promise, I will definitely find a new Evolution Stone to return to you."

"My skills will get better and better in the future, and the effect of the stones I polish will also get better! But, if you evolve to the final form, you won't need an Evolution Stone."

Doublade's eyes lit up instantly, and it danced its sword body happily.

"Yo!"

Full of confidence in the future, this is the mentality that my chosen new king should have!

As for the gem, it doesn't matter if it's left to fate!

Koutai stretched his body and glanced at the time on the computer.

9:00 PM.

Huff. Koutai let out a sigh of relief. Although his body was a little tired, this day was indeed quite fulfilling.

Doublade's sudden appearance directly disrupted his thinking and forced him to integrate into this world.

This is also a good thing.

From waking up until night, he had been working without even noticing the change of time, only eating some dried fruit to satisfy his hunger. Now he finally has some free time.

"Let's stop working here today, it's time to eat."

To celebrate his first encounter with Doublade, he should make some good dishes, but the types and total amount of ingredients at home are not much. It's okay to make some stews, but more elaborate dishes can't be made.

He needs to buy more from the villagers, wait until he gets his first big customer and earns some savings.

Usually, picking some wild vegetables and tree fruits from the mountains and forests is enough to eat.

"Speaking of which, what do you eat? Do you eat Pokémon food?"

Koutai glanced at Doublade and suddenly wondered.

Although Ghost-type Pokémon can mostly live by absorbing life force, they seem to be able to eat normal Pokémon food and human food if given to them. Of course, there are also some special Pokémon that really don't eat normal food.

What is the eating process of Ghost-type Pokémon like?

Does a guy like Doublade, whose body is a sword and whose main body is a ghost, really need to eat this kind of regular meal?

Its setting seems to be to absorb life, but in the Pokémon of the Doublade family that I know, there doesn't seem to be any Doublade or Aegislash that has absorbed its owner's life force. In comparison, the Litwick family, which has a similar setting, can be described as notorious.

And this guy can't learn any "absorption" skills.

Judging from the Egg Group, if I remember correctly, it should be the Mineral Egg Group. Of course, the Mineral Egg Group doesn't necessarily only eat stones and soil, ice, etc. Like Sudowoodo, it is also a Mineral Egg Group, but it can also eat normal Pokémon food.

So which one does this ghost sword like?

"Yo~"

Doublade answered as a matter of course.

Of course, it's life essence, but it doesn't necessarily have to be human.

It's just that human essence can be quickly restored through eating, so eating human essence is more convenient, and as a weapon, it is also symbiotic with the holder. Of course, Koutai doesn't seem to need weapon protection.

Doublade: Stare——

It gestured with its blue ribbon hand while making a sound:

"Yo? Yo!"

Isn't there often that kind of thing? That is, the sword of the hero inserted in the forest!

As long as the hero's sword is placed in the specified position, the sword will not be damaged no matter how many years!

"Ah, the hero's sword, does this setting really exist? Do you mean that the essence of nature is also essence? That's also reasonable, after all, there are also wild Doublade, you can't go sucking wild people."

Koutai pondered for a moment.

The hero's sword stuck in the forest... sounds like 'Rusty Sword' or something... If Zacian was holding an Aegislash, how high would the race value be?

Then thought of something.

"So, does the essence of berries count?"

"Yo!"

Doublade blinked and made a sound to indicate that Koutai was right.

Of course berries count, how can you recover HP without essence!

"Then, does that mean Revives work too? Although using it when the stamina is full should show 'It has no effect even if used'."
