Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 41: Daigo's Purchase, Stock is Running Out

On the other side, at the Hinoki Gym, it was the first time that Abi met Daigo, and he was quite reserved. When Daigo asked him how to find the light moss, Abi could only scratch his head, feeling somewhat helpless:
"I don't know where the other party is, but he's probably near a village in Johto. The package was sent from Yanmo City."

Daigo was speechless, but he thought that he was sometimes the same, for example, when someone sent him a letter not long ago, he ran around the map and couldn't find him. At that time, he was digging stones in the Stone Cave and had no idea what was happening outside.

Ha, I must have caused quite a bit of trouble to everyone at that time. And now, I also experience this feeling of not being able to find someone.

It really is a different time now.

"I can understand that craftsmen would collect rare materials in the wild. I have done such things before." Daigo smiled. Although he was unable to get the address of the craftsman from A Bi, at least he had the next clue.

Smoky and ink city.

If it is a courier, it must have been sent from the Pokémon Center. Then as long as you find the corresponding postman who receives the goods, or the Pokémon responsible for the courier, you can find the sender's location and address.

But he didn't have enough time. He had already spent several days investigating in the Johto region, and he had to rush to the Kanto region immediately to attend the fossil exhibition at the Deep Gray City Science Museum.

At the same time, Daigo did not suggest to A-Bi to buy the Evolution Stone, but just held it in his hand and looked at it for a while.

"It is indeed an incredible magical stone. Even though I am not a Pokémon, I can feel a strange energy when I hold this stone."

"Eh, is that so?" Abi felt a little unbelievable, and Daigo nodded and replied with a smile: "I often dig various stones in the wild and caves, and some of my Pokémon have rock attributes, so I have a very keen sense of stones."

A Bi thought for a moment and said, "The craftsman told me that this stone has been further polished by him, so it is better than normal stones of the same type and can stimulate the potential of Pokémon for a long time. That's probably what he meant."

"Better than stones of the same type?" Daigo was keenly aware of the strangeness in this sentence!
It would be impossible to say such a thing without comparison, the craftsman's words are rigorous.

And if there is such a comparison, it means that the other party has seen another ordinary and used evolutionary stone somewhere!
"I see! As expected, this kind of stone may also exist in other areas, and he used to work in the Sinnoh region. Speaking of the famous excavation site in Sinnoh. The underground passage!"

Daigo made some guesses and thought that there should be another Evolution Stone in the underground passage of Sinnoh. This discovery and guess made him happy and excited. However, considering that he was the champion of Hoenn, it would be very bad if he went to Sinnoh for too long, and he would not be able to respond in time if anything happened.
It's a headache, otherwise I'd better give the championship to Mikoli.

But that guy was saying something about having to participate in a gorgeous competition and having no time. Oh, and that guy seemed to be saying that he was going to Sinnoh to host the Mikoli Cup. Wouldn’t it be enough to ask him to help him dig stones?
Well, could he refuse such a sincere request from his friend?

Daigo decided that he needed to make proper arrangements for the champion work before heading to other areas, but considering that the Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn are all street urchins, Daigo couldn't help but feel a headache.

Why are there no people in our area who work seriously? They are the kind of people who like to wear glasses, read every day and work overtime like crazy.

"Thank you, I think I have got some useful information!"

Daigo thanked Abi and returned the Evolution Stone to him. Abi was a little confused, and suddenly, Daigo proposed to have a battle with Abi.

"Eh?! Me and the champion?!"

Abi was quite surprised. Although he became the gym leader in the Johto region at the youngest age, he felt that he did not have the strength to fight against the champion. Daigo said:

"This is to witness the power of the Evolution Stone with your own eyes. Please, you must have a Pokémon battle with me!"

At the same time, Daigo lowered his head and looked at the online store page displayed on the screen of the Pokémon device. After a little thought, he placed an order.

Maybe these sculptures are also made of some special stones with some special effects written on them?

Daigo purchased Kodara's sculptures and cleared out all of Kodara's stock in one go.

As for the mailing location.
"Sorry, Abi, can you help me receive the package?"

----

Of course, in addition to Daigo, the other doctors who had followed the Travel Workshop before also saw the new news on the sculpture.

However, most of them had no knowledge of sculpture, and these stonemasonry and woodcarving techniques were not the areas they should be researching. However, the carvings said to have special enhancement effects, which was beyond common sense and made the doctors suspicious.

Among them, Dr. Kongmu saw the sculpture of Arceus and saw the effect notes on it, and the inventory showed 3.

"It can make the Pokémon hatched from eggs grow stronger? How can this sculpture have such ability?"

"I've never seen this Pokémon's appearance before. Is it from another region? But why is it labeled as an unknown Pokémon?"

"Ah, is it an original artistic Pokémon image?" Dr. Kong Mu pushed his glasses and initially thought that this effect was beyond common sense and violated science.

But soon, he thought of the relics in various places, in which things beyond common sense and contrary to modern scientific theories can often be discovered. And after all, the so-called common sense is just the induction and summary of existing phenomena.

There are some things that you won't believe exist unless you see them with your own eyes, and the shape of this sculpture and the Pokémon it shows are something he has never seen before.

As a doctor who specializes in the study of egg groups, Dr. Kong Mu wanted to buy a sculpture to take a look at, but when he saw the price below, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Although he is a great doctor in charge of the main research of the Johto region, the price of one hundred thousand is not expensive, but is buying this thing considered a private purchase or is it included in the research funds?

And I always feel that the price-performance ratio is not very high. The description says that this sculpture is only the size of a palm.

As for the image, Dr. Kong Mu believes that this is probably a little hobby of the workshop craftsmen. They created an original Pokémon and used it as an artistic image. In fact, many artists and sculptors would do this.

"Ouch! Why is the inventory reduced?"

Dr. Kongmu was refreshing the store interface on his computer when he suddenly discovered that the total inventory had changed from 3 to 2!

Has anyone purchased it?
"Shh, why don't you give it a try with the mentality of being deceived? If it is really related to the Pokémon egg group, then this is very important research data!"

"Oh, the inventory has become 1! Who is buying it?"

Dr. Kongmu gritted his teeth and finally pressed the option to place an order.

"Is this the workshop? They said something about stones related to evolution, but I only saw sculptures."

Sinnoh region, Masaga Town, Yamanashi Research Institute.

Professor Yamanashi is a professor in the Sinnoh region. He lives here and conducts research on "Pokémon Evolution".

He looks even older than Professor Oak, with gray hair and a rough white beard. He always wears a white or brown windbreaker with a blue vest and long-sleeved shirt underneath.

After receiving the news from Dr. Oak, Dr. Yamanashi attached great importance to this matter. After all, the strange stone that could be related to evolution might be of great help to his research.

However, after he paid attention to the workshop, he found that there was no such evolution stone in the workshop. After waiting patiently for several days, the new product turned out to be a sculpture?
However, a sculpture of a Pokémon caught Dr. Yamanashi's attention. Although he didn't recognize that Pokémon, he always felt that the appearance of this Pokémon was very "Sinnoh-like"?
I always feel like I can see the shadow of Dialga or Palkia.

The name marked on the stone sculpture is "Unknown Pokémon".

"The appearance of this product, just looking at the photo, looks like it was just dug out from some ruins. If this is an imitation of antique craftsmanship, isn't the imitation too good? It's almost indistinguishable from the real thing, or is it the real thing?"

"Isn't the owner of this shop a grave robber?"

Professor Yamanashi had some unfounded associations, but because of the existence of this special Pokémon, he became interested in it. The sculpture above also had a special introduction page, saying that it had unique functions, but it didn't say anything about allowing the Pokémon to learn the moves after evolution, which was a bit strange.

Of course, some Pokémon have special talents. Dr. Yamanashi has studied this and found that some Pokémon with extremely good talents can indeed learn some of the moves they will need after evolving before they evolve. For example, Riolu has a small chance of learning "Wave Missile" before evolving.

Riolu looks like a blue humanoid puppy, and is called the Wave Pokémon. As its classification suggests, before evolution, it cannot master the power of waves and can only barely sense ripples. However, special Riolu with extremely high talent can master the power of waves when it is still a Riolu.

This is also an extremely magical phenomenon related to Pokémon.

What is the difference between evolved and non-evolved Pokémon? Are those Pokémon that have not evolved considered a "complete form" of Pokémon?

However, some Pokémon that were once thought to have no evolution type, such as Electabuzz and Infernape, suddenly became able to evolve after new items appeared.

This is the real reason why Dr. Yamanashi purchased the Arceus sculpture.

If the function of this sculpture is real, then it can be regarded as a special item for studying evolution. Moreover, props for teaching fighting skills have existed since ancient times. In fact, they are not something particularly rare. Just like the technological product fighting skills learning device that has been developed now, isn’t this thing magical?
"The inventory has dropped to 1? Who is buying these things? Never mind, even though it's a bit expensive, I'll still place an order!"

"20W!"

"After buying it, you should tell Zhulan. She has a wealth of knowledge about these things."
