Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World
#87 - Hot, popular item?
The instant the Regieleki doll was created, Caitlin, far away in Unova, suddenly opened her eyes.
She foresaw something related to the workshop she had been recently concerned about. As a powerful psychic, precognition was fundamental. Previously, Caitlin rarely used precognition because her psychic powers were too strong and uncontrollable, but since her butler, Ryoku, sent her the Snorlax sculpture, her control over her psychic abilities had become increasingly skilled and stable.
"The workshop must have released something new."
Caitlin looked at the brightening horizon. The workshop was probably in the Johto region, far from Unova, so when it was entering night there, dawn was arriving here.
She yawned, stretched, revealing her beautifully developing curves, and used her psychic powers to bring her Rotom Phone, proactively sending a message to Hikari.
"Shopkeeper... have you created any items related to psychic powers? Did you want to inform me?"
Caitlin rarely initiated messages because she used to be somewhat reclusive due to her psychic abilities. However, after coming to Unova, this symptom gradually disappeared, although she occasionally still dreamed of scenes of psychic powers going out of control and some childhood events.
Those with great power are always lonely. Ordinary people fear this power and try to avoid it, so this is the lifestyle of those with great power, Caitlin had once thought.
[“.Huh? How did you know... right, you asked about psychic powers. Could it be that you are also a powerful psychic?”]
[“Oh my, so it's precognition! Psychic abilities are really convenient!”]
"Hehe, the shopkeeper can create psychic-type items, so he should also possess some psychic abilities, right?"
[“.I just have strong mental power, far from being a psychic. By the way, I have new products I want to tell you about that you might find satisfactory.”]
[“The Gravity Bracelet, its [image] effect is, and the Psychic Glass Whistle, this is what you wanted [image], and...”]
Hikari's messages kept coming, and Caitlin's eyes lit up when she saw the Gravity Bracelet and the Psychic Glass Whistle!
Unlike previous products, these two items were clearly meticulously crafted, with strange and mysterious patterns. From an artistic point of view, they were completely qualified!
As for the move Gravity, although it was rare, it was not impossible to buy the corresponding TM in the Unova region.
Because among the Pokémon that could learn this move on their own, there was the symbol bird of the Unova region.
"A reusable TM, it's indeed a bit different from those on the market... it's more like a HM."
"Gravity is indeed a very useful move, and I was planning to buy one."
[“Right? And the combination of Gravity and Hypnosis is very powerful! Using it with a Sableye with the Prankster ability is even more effective!”]
[“However, the best held item for Sableye is something I can't manufacture here for the time being, so in terms of item selection, you can selectively carry a Wiki Berry, Focus Sash, Light Clay...”]
"Gravity Hypnosis?" Caitlin was somewhat puzzled, but it wasn't because she hadn't heard of it...
Okay, she hadn't seen many people using this tactic, mainly because Gravity TMs were rare, and most trainers found it difficult to establish bonds with psychic Pokémon!
"However, this is a strategy I thought of before. I didn't expect the shopkeeper to think of it too? It feels a bit subtle..."
"The shopkeeper seems to know a lot about Pokémon battles?"
[“I just know a little, and I'm not a League-registered trainer. If you want to consult about battle matters, you can, and I can occasionally offer some suggestions. This time, I'm just trying to promote my products.”]
Some suggestions?
Caitlin shook her head slightly.
The suggestion just now was excellent. She was considering who to teach the move Gravity to, and she didn't expect the shopkeeper to recommend Sableye. But thinking about it carefully, the Ghost-type Sableye didn't have to worry about being Taunted or Encored, and Prankster ensured priority status for status moves, which had great strategic significance in Double and Triple Battles!
This was truly the best user of the Gravity move!
Speaking of which, Sableye could learn this move? It was the first time she knew, probably because there were too few Gravity TMs. Current TMs broke after one use...
But she didn't have a Sableye... she needed to catch one!
"Shopkeeper, thank you for your advice, it's very useful. It seems I may have to bother you more in the future."
Caitlin's gratitude was sincere, and at the same time, the Light Moss Shop felt increasingly mysterious to her.
Johto... no, it was called Jinto.
The mysterious shop in Jinto?
Although she had seen Hikari's appearance through precognition, psychic powers could only see the appearance or read minds, but the true abilities this person possessed were impossible to see through!
Then Caitlin carefully examined the picture of the rabbit again.
"What is this Pokémon? What I foresaw was this thing. Its name is..."
Caitlin thought, and the text simultaneously appeared on the Rotom Phone and was sent out.
[“Calyrex, it's a legendary, but not yet well-known, Pokémon from the Galar region.”]
"Hmm, is the legend lost?"
[“Ah, that's what I mean. The effect of its doll is...”]
"Can it heal the mind and psychological disorders?"
Caitlin's eyes became brighter, but some childhood memories flashed in her mind again.
"If... it's terrible memories from a long time ago, can it heal those too?"
[“Perhaps it can, as long as you believe it has this power, it will have this power. This Pokémon is so magical, after all, it is also a Psychic-type Pokémon.”]
Related to psychic powers, a legendary Pokémon whose legend was lost... Caitlin looked at the picture of Calyrex and tilted her head slightly.
It looked like a rabbit with broccoli on its head.
It looked a bit comical, but unexpectedly... also a bit cute, how could that be?
Caitlin couldn't help but chuckle.
The more she looked, the cuter it seemed!
[“Another customer suggested that I make the doll, but because this doll has the effect of enhancing psychic powers, I decided to... ah, wait a moment, someone's knocking”]
Caitlin: “?”
Out of a psychic's intuition, Caitlin keenly sensed that something not very friendly was about to happen to her—someone was trying to snatch the product!
"Shopkeeper, I also want to buy the subsequent dolls. No matter who is trying to snatch the product from you, I'll offer double the price."
Caitlin quickly sent the message!
…………
"Foresight is really...!"
Hikari was still communicating with the customer from Unova when suddenly the customer list lit up with a message. Looking at the source—it was Elite Four Will!
[“I learned through precognition that an important product has been created, a doll of a Pokémon named Calyrex. Shopkeeper, please be sure to save a few for me!”]
Was someone trying to snatch the product?!
Hikari hadn't expected the Calyrex doll to be so popular... Could these psychics be...
Oh, right!
Although it wasn't explicitly stated in the games, it was mentioned in the anime and manga that the minds of psychics were different from ordinary people, so their personalities were relatively isolated, which could be seen as psychological disorders to some extent.
The stronger they were, the more isolated they became, and the more isolated they were, the stronger they became?
However, as they grew older and encountered more people and experienced more things, their personality and psychological problems would gradually be resolved. After all, there were too many people with special abilities in the Pokémon world. Just a little more contact with the outside world would reveal that everyone here was a monster and a demon.
What spiritualists, Aura guardians, Overcomers, Evergreen Power, Dragon Hearts... not to mention those important figures, even the roadside NPCs had super strong people who swam from Kalos to Hoenn!
Even without any abilities, the humans in the Pokémon world couldn't be judged by common sense! So the source of psychics' isolation was that they thought they were different from others, but after seeing more people, they would realize that when everyone was abnormal, this society was normal!
"Sorry, Mr. Will, this product is already... you have to wait in line, and I've only made one..."
[“I learned about that product through precognition. It wasn't pre-ordered, but you actively promoted it, and if I don't pre-order it now, I won't be able to buy it next time!”]
Will's words initially confused Hikari, but he immediately saw Caitlin's message and fell silent.
After several breaths, Hikari typed a reply.
"I think precognition shouldn't be used like this. It's because she foresaw your future that she bought everything, and you foresaw her future, so you came to snatch it, so that's how it turned out."
To avoid the prophecy from happening, he tried to prevent the prophecy, but this was also an important step in the prophecy happening!
Hikari sent a reply to Caitlin, and at the same time, he remembered that he only knew that this customer was a young lady, but he didn't know her name.
"This Calyrex doll is just a prototype. I'm considering using plush fabric to make new Calyrex dolls, so there's no need to snatch it so fiercely..."
[“This is a very important product to me. I have a psychological disorder, and I really like the look of this doll. I will buy subsequent similar products at twice the selling price, please sell it to me first.”]
[“And no matter what, the later person should wait in line, right? I don't mean to compete, but I know the psychic you're talking to now. Let me communicate with him personally.”]
Hikari: “?”
Could psychic powers be used like this?
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Could they communicate across such distant regions? Could such a thing even be possible...
Caitlin: [“Of course not! I just saw his account and ID through precognition. Ah, I've added him as a friend now!”]
Hikari: “……”
So he was overthinking it!
On the other side, the communication between Caitlin and Will was much simpler!
Caitlin: "Mr. Will, I've heard of you. I didn't expect your psychic powers to have been cultivated to the point where even I can be foreseen."
Will also foresaw the other party's identity and was quite surprised: "Miss Caitlin... I didn't expect it to be you, but shouldn't you be in Unova..."
"I'm in Unova. Through training, I have gradually mastered my psychic powers, so I won't let you have the Calyrex doll."
Caitlin was determined to get the Calyrex doll.
"This is really difficult... Miss, you shouldn't be so selfish... At least let me buy a few."
Will was a little helpless. He had heard of Caitlin. Before he became an Elite Four member, there was Caitlin's Battle Castle in the Johto region. This young lady was very rich!
"...If you're willing to offer double the price, giving you some isn't impossible."
Caitlin didn't seem willing to take a loss, and Will immediately understood why and let out a bitter smile.
"Oh dear, this time the precognition result wasn't very good. It seems I haven't cultivated enough."
Caitlin replied with a smiling expression:
"Who told you to suddenly snatch my product? If you hadn't used precognition, it wouldn't have turned out like this. The shopkeeper was chatting with me."
Will was quite embarrassed: "Sorry, it seems it really is my fault."
But right after that, both of their accounts popped up with a notification message. They were pulled into a small group.
Hikari created a merchant group and pulled the two of them in.
Hikari: "This is the merchant group. If you want to pre-order the Calyrex doll, you can say it here in advance... By the way, I also need to pull in the person who reminded me to make the doll."
"Oh, I know." Caitlin foresaw the future and knew the person's true identity:
"I see, she really likes dolls. Thanks to her, I can buy the Calyrex doll. If it's her, I can give up some of the pre-order slots."
Will: "So it's her. She really likes dolls. The new product that appeared this time is really thanks to her!"
Hikari: “?”
Riddle-makers, get out of the merchant group...
These psychics are really abusing precognition every day!
But excessive use of psychic powers seems to cause fatigue, right?
Just as Hikari was operating, an ID suddenly appeared in the group chat.
[Psychic Girl.]
[“I foresaw that this store has unique psychic dolls, so I found this merchant group... I want to buy one.”]
More precognition...
Just as Hikari was about to type something, Psychic Girl sent a message in advance:
[“Those two have already foreseen who I am, so it doesn't matter. They will give me the slots.”]
Will: [“That's right, compared to us, you should indeed buy a Calyrex doll.”]
Caitlin: [“So it's you, has your mental state been better lately? The Calyrex doll should have an excellent effect on you!”]
Looking at the chat in the merchant group, Koke felt that she was the one who should have psychological issues!
It felt like being excluded...
Koke silently pulled Ice Doll into the merchant group, thinking that this Ice-type trainer shouldn't be a riddle person...
[Ice Doll]: ["This is the doll group, eh, why are you here too! @Psychic Girl!"]
Koke: "?!"
关都地区,金黄市,金黄道馆。
Kanto Region, Saffron City, Saffron Gym.
The girl with short black hair and an unsmiling face looked at her two "kindred spirits" in the chat group, as well as Lorelei, the Ice-type Elite Four member, who was talking to her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Although she wasn't good at showing smiles, she would occasionally smile when she was happy.
Ever since receiving an invitation from the Unova region, the future seemed to have become unpredictable.
Even this strange doll, she tried to use Future Sight on that shop owner, but found that his future was constantly changing. Such people would occasionally appear, because they possessed incredible possibilities.
How many such people had she met? From Pallet Town, from Violet City, and now...
"If I accept the invitation, will it stagnate my ability as a Pokémon trainer... Before leaving Saffron Gym, I should appoint an acting Gym Leader first... There are still many psychic-related items in the shop, which may be helpful to other psychics in the gym..."
"...I need to embrace the new future with a new outlook. Lorelei is no longer an Elite Four member, Red has gone to Mt. Silver, time really flies."
