Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Mago Berry, high-quality Pecha Berry, Honey, and a portion of tree fruit powder.

Following the knowledge in his mind, Hikoke was processing them.

First, he dried many tree fruits, crushed them, mixed them to make tree fruit powder, and stir-fried them.

Then, he cut the Mago Berry and Pecha Berry, used a Seadra juicer to make juice, mixed the juices, and prepared molds. While simmering in a pot, he added Honey, heated it up, constantly stirred to prevent sticking, and kept stirring after it became viscous.

When the hardness was close to that of a steamed bun, he took out the cooked solid juice, put it into a mold, sprinkled the stir-fried tree fruit powder, and cut it into pieces after it had completely cooled.

Cooling was simple; he just placed the Ice Stone to the side, and a chill gradually invaded the solid juice, completely solidifying it in a short while, ready to be cut.

After Hikoke finished his busy work, the outside sky gradually darkened, arriving at dusk.

『Completed a crafting process!』

『Crafted item: Rare Candy.』

『Effect: Candy full of energy. When given to a Pokémon, all of the Pokémon's abilities will grow.』

『Unique effect: Slightly increases the Pokémon's random three effort values. +10% chance to learn a move』

Rare Candies can occasionally be found on the roadside in the games and are important items for leveling up, but they hardly appear in the anime. In the current reality, the "level up" effect of Rare Candies has been changed to an "all abilities growth" effect.

Because when Pokémon level up, their abilities naturally increase with the level increase.

This is also a form of indirect leveling.

The so-called well-trained Pokémon in the games refers to those Pokémon with higher levels.

Hikoke happily took the crafted Rare Candies outside.

Lilligant was sculpting under the guidance of Doublade, Regirock was moving stones and wood, and also creating ancient rocks.

Unown E was stuck to the wall, dozing.

"Try this!"

Hikoke greeted the Pokémon. Lilligant was the first to stroll over, Doublade floated over second, Turtwig hopped over third, followed by Regirock and Unown.

"How's the sculpting today?" Hikoke asked Lilligant and Doublade with a smile.

"Lilli~!"

Lilligant was very happy, indicating that her sculpting had made great progress. Although Doublade-senpai thought there were still many shortcomings, she would work harder and more seriously in the future.

Doublade is really strict! Completely different from his usual sloppy state.

Regirock also helped a lot! He said his sculptures could be taken to the temple!

As for Turtwig... he was watching my sculpture very seriously; he's a very qualified audience!

"Yoyowo"

Doublade was somewhat proud, squinting both eyes, looking very smug.

It's okay; under my guidance, Lilligant's sculpting skills have improved to some extent, but it's not enough yet!

Then, Regirock came over, holding a pile of ancient rocks, showing off his work results.

"Ah, thank you; just put them here. Come and eat candy..." Hikoke immediately felt awkward as he spoke.

Regirock can't eat candy.

After all, this isn't a game, where even without a mouth, you can eat.

Speaking of which, the legendary titans don't have mouths to eat; they are eternal Pokémon.

But looking at the other Pokémon, Hikoke suddenly realized a helpless fact.

Among the Pokémon he knew, except for Celebi and Turtwig, the others didn't have mouths!

"Whoa, I've got it; wait for me a moment!"

Hikoke quickly took the made Rare Candies back, dried them, and crushed them into powder.

『Crafted item: Rare Candy Powder.』

『Effect: Energy-filled candy powder. Sprinkling it on a Pokémon will grow all of the Pokémon's abilities.』

『Unique effect: Slightly increases the Pokémon's vitality. +10% chance to learn a move』

"Phew, this is better!"

Speaking of which, if it can be made into Rare Candy powder, wouldn't it be okay to mix it with juice?

So Hikoke experimented again.

『Crafted item: Rare Candy Juice.』

『Effect: Energy-filled juice. Absorbing it will grow all of the Pokémon's abilities.』

『Unique effect: Slightly increases all of the Pokémon's base stats. +10% chance to learn a move』

Well, the effects are slightly different, but it still largely retains the main abilities of Rare Candy!

And several unique effects are also very excellent. Although the level of Rare Candy crafting is not high, the finished products are still very good.

Hikoke took all the candy, juice, and powder outside. The Pokémon were strangely discussing why Hikoke went back. When they saw Hikoke come out again, they all curiously surrounded him.

"These are foods with magical energy. Absorbing them will help you become stronger. The effects are similar; choose your favorite food to eat."

Hikoke pushed the iron plate forward. Lilligant used her leaf arm to pick up the juice and began to absorb it with her other hand.

Turtwig was much simpler, directly starting to eat the regular candy.

Doublade picked up the candy and, as before, used its ghostly ribbons to absorb the nutrients from the candy.

Regirock chose the candy powder. Hikoke also thoughtfully grabbed the powder and evenly sprinkled it on Regirock's body.

And Unown also chose the candy. It gently touched the candy, and the candy was instantly absorbed completely! Even Doublade was greatly shocked!

No, how did you do that? Aren't you a Psychic-type Pokémon?

Unown E: Yes, this is psychic power!

That ghost sword is lame; it has to absorb it slowly!

After consuming the Rare Candy products, the Pokémon all felt that they had clearly become stronger!

What an incredible candy!

"Alright, Rare Candy is a great success!" Hikoke was very happy to see everyone become stronger again: "Mago Berries have grown a lot, so we can eat these candies every day from now on!"

And for these Pokémon, they don't have to worry about tooth decay from eating too much sugar. They don't even have mouths; where would the tooth decay come from?

The only one who has to worry about this problem is me!

Now that a new item has been successfully crafted, how can Rare Candies not be sold? Hikoke thought that the crafting of Rare Candies is not difficult. The problem is just that there is no way to obtain Mago Berries and other tree fruits on a large scale. Some tree fruits take a long time to grow, and some are quite rare.

And high-quality Pecha Berries are also needed. In the games, particularly excellent Pecha Berries are called "Mystical Pecha Berries." It is said that "Mystical Pecha Berries" only grow once every few years. The highest grade Pecha Berry, which grows on Pecha trees carefully cultivated by craftsmen every few years, has a different luster.

Without Celebi's help, it would take a long time to get particularly high-quality Pecha Berries. Although there are several types of planting knowledge to help, the number of high-quality Pecha Berries that can be obtained each time is probably not too many.

"Speaking of which, I don't know how much the quality of my high-quality Pecha Berries is from Mystical Pecha Berries, but even high-quality fruits are quite rare in the world."

"In short, if Rare Candies are listed, let's set the number of listings to 100 this time. Each customer can only buy up to 10..."

In the game, the price of Rare Candy in the item shop is 10,000, but in reality, due to the production of Mago Berries and high-quality Pecha Berries, selling it for 10,000 seems too cheap.

And now the store's reputation has also improved a bit, so there is no need to use overly cheap products to promote it. Although good and cheap products are more likely to attract customers, it is not easy for craftsmen to collect materials.

Of course, Hikoke also plans to add some notes to this product.

If they are Pokémon without mouths, they can be exchanged for an equal amount of candy powder and candy juice, and the effects are similar.

If possible, Hikoke would like to make the number of Rare Candies x999, but he doesn't have that many Mago Berries and other tree fruits! To make 999 Rare Candies, his tree fruit stock would have to be consumed by at least half!

"Speaking of which, because my Pokémon don't eat ordinary food, my food consumption is still quite slow, and the various foods made also have subtle benefits."

"Should I try to collect some rare ingredients next time, such as Herba Mystica?"

Just as Hikoke was thinking, the thoughts in his mind converged and turned into information.

Those are the new moves that the Pokémon have learned through the power of Rare Candy!

『Congratulations, Hisuian Lilligant has gained experience and growth.』

『Learned the move: Solar Blade!』

『Congratulations, Turtwig has gained experience and growth.』

『Learned the move: Protect!』

『Congratulations, Regirock has gained experience and growth.』

『Learned the move: Body Press!』

『Congratulations, Doublade has gained experience and growth.』

『Learned the move: Destiny Bond!』

The Pokémon cheered happily, discovering that they had learned new abilities! A strange ghostly power emerged from Doublade's body, Regirock shook his arms, feeling the incredible changes in himself, as if defensive power had become the ability to attack;

Turtwig felt the flow of energy and then created a pale green translucent barrier in front of him! That was Protect!

And the biggest change was Lilligant!

Whoosh—!

Lilligant's two leaves emitted a dazzling light. She absorbed the light of the setting sun, condensed it on her leaves, and an incredible change occurred!

"Lilligant!"

The feeling was the same as when absorbing sunlight to release Solar Beam, but Lilligant tried to move the sunlight to the leaves of her arms, using the new move according to the usage of Leaf Blade, so that the light on the edge of her leaves gradually increased, and finally formed a huge light sword!

Solar Blade?!

Hikoke was stunned by this scene. Solar Blade is the physical attack version of Solar Beam, collecting sunlight in the first turn and turning this power into a huge light sword for slashing in the second turn, but a Solar Blade that can be charged without releasing... what kind of skill is this?

Solar Leaf Blade?

The light sword is Lilligant's arm. She waved it happily, and the light sword cut through the sky, scaring the other Pokémon away from her!

"Dancing while using solar dual swords, maybe it can be called Solar Dance?"

Hikoke named Lilligant's new dance!

Moreover, the Body Press that Regirock has learned is also a very important rare move. It seems that more TM's have to be made.

And in this lively scene...

Unown floated in front of Hikoke, looking at Hikoke.

Then look at the other Pokémon?

No, what are you happy about? What happened? Why did you suddenly start using moves?

Hikoke stroked his chin:

"Oh right, Unown only has one move, Hidden Power, so the effect of learning moves is useless to you!"

Unown E widened his eyes!

Ah? This thing has this effect? And why is it always him who has a problem!

Looking at the four excited Pokémon, Unown suddenly felt a sad emotion and flew away to stick to the house.

The joys and sorrows of Pokémon are not shared, and Unown only finds them noisy!
