Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 65: Shining New Life
Johto region, Wakaba Town.

Dr. Kongmu also received a package from Shendu.

The reason he bought the Arceus sculpture was because the description of the workshop stated that this sculpture would have a special effect on the hatching of Pokémon. As an expert in Pokémon breeding and Pokémon egg research, ever since Professor Soramu had studied the special phenomenon of Pokémon eggs, starting from the Johto region, including other surrounding areas, the breeding houses also had the special business of "raising Pokémon eggs".

However, Pokémon eggs always appear suddenly, and even Professor Sora has never noticed the moment a Pokémon egg is laid.

"What does it mean to be able to make the hatched Pokémon stronger, and even have the chance to encounter unique new life? Is it a change in characteristics?"

The description of the workshop was vague, so Dr. Kongmu tried to ask the other party, but the answer he got was [“You will understand once it is hatched”].

It seems to have a very significant impact, which may be the reason why there are only three of these sculptures. If the other party is not a liar, Dr. Kongmu feels that he should really thank his hand speed.

It just so happens that he has a batch of unique eggs here.

Of course, Dr. Soraki also knew that another of his colleagues had purchased this sculpture, and that person was Dr. Yamanashi from the Sinnoh region. He was also his predecessor. At the same time, his research on evolution and characteristics was learned from Dr. Yamanashi. Dr. Soraki had also had a conversation with Dr. Yamanashi before. According to Dr. Yamanashi's guess, this Pokémon with a special shape might be related to the legend of the Sinnoh region.

I originally thought it was an original artistic image, but I didn't expect it to be related to an unknown Pokémon in mythology. Moreover, even though Professor Kongmu knew nothing about sculpture art, he could feel the strong ancient atmosphere from the exquisite statues in front of him. If you listen carefully, there seems to be faint music, but if you concentrate a little, the sound will disappear, as if it was an illusion.

Ding ding - the video phone rang, and Dr. Soraki quickly answered it. The person on the other end of the line was his teacher, Dr. Oki!

"Sensei, your call came at a perfect time. I was about to hatch a new batch of Pokémon eggs."

Dr. Sora greeted Dr. Oak, who immediately became interested: "So, are you going to use that sculpture?"

The sculptures of the three unknown Pokémon were actually purchased by three professors, and the last sculpture was bought by Professor Oak.

[“I also bought some other sculptures, but I’ve been busy lately, so I haven’t had time to test the effects of those sculptures. I’ve already asked Dr. Yamanashi about the sculpture of the unknown Pokémon. He seems to be asking the Sinnoh Champion to investigate the matter. She is an excellent archaeologist.”]

[“I plan to buy more props and conduct unified testing at once. For this purpose, I have also invited several very good trainers to help me.”]

"Ahem! Anyway, let me see what happens when a new Pokémon egg hatches. This is also a test."

Professor Oak said this, but his expression was a little strange, but Professor Sora didn't notice it. Instead, he excitedly connected the video of the videophone to the Pokémon device remotely so that Professor Oak could remotely observe the batch of eggs that were about to hatch in all directions.

Dr. Soragi came to the incubator and explained to Dr. Oak: "These are the eggs of a batch of 'original companions', namely the eggs of Chikorita, Fireball Mouse, and Crocodile."

The so-called initial partners refer to the Pokémon that a new trainer gets when he or she embarks on a journey. They are usually given by doctors from research institutes and have many characteristics such as fast growth and strong abilities. The initial partners selected by research institutes in all regions are carefully selected, and some initial partners also have alliances, or are cultivated by doctors themselves and distributed to new trainers who want to receive Pokémon.

However, they can still be found in the wild.

As an expert in egg group research, Dr. Kong Mu is naturally one of the best breeders. All the Pokémon eggs he owns are cultivated in his research institute. Now, in three incubation devices, three eggs are quietly waiting for the moment of hatching. From the fluctuations of the instrument, one can tell whether the Pokémon egg is about to hatch.

"According to my recent research, I found that some Pokémon can actually see the outside world and sense our presence before hatching. Now, I will place this sculpture between the three Pokémon eggs."

Professor Soramu was nervously waiting for the hatching moment to come, but when to hatch was entirely up to the Pokémon's own wishes. The hatching device could only play a supporting role and could not make choices on behalf of the Pokémon.

Professor Oak also knew that this was a long process, so he waited with a serious face, but in the next moment, the statue of Arceus emitted a faint light!

This sudden abnormal change surprised both doctors!
"That sculpture.! It's glowing!"

Along with the shining light, the three Pokémon eggs placed in the incubator also lit up. That change was undoubtedly a sign of imminent hatching!

"Three eggs, at the same time?!"

Dr. Kongmu's assistant was also checking the instrument. Dr. Kongmu only had one assistant, so the two of them were often very busy. At this time, the assistant's expression was quite shocked because there were violent fluctuations on the instrument!
"The hatching process is quite intense, totally different from before! Doctor"

"Observe the changes in the instrument carefully and gradually adjust the power to the safe threshold!" Dr. Soramu stared at the three eggs nervously, and Dr. Oki on the other end of the videophone also had a serious look on his face.

The light on the three eggs gradually became stronger. As the power of the incubation device decreased, the appearance of the three eggs also began to change!

There are two ways to hatch Pokémon. One is to hatch from the egg, and the other is to directly become a new life together with the egg. The latter is what is happening now!
"whisper?"

"Hey Nong.?"

"Wawa mud!"

Three Pokémon hatched at the same time, and in the strong light they turned into Chikko, Charmeleon, and Croaky!
Among them, a bright star-like twinkling effect appeared on the chrysanthemum leaves in an instant!

At the same time, Professor Kong Mu immediately discovered that these three Pokémon appeared very large in the incubator. They were larger individuals than their own kind!

In nature, the larger the Pokémon, the more competitive they are among their own kind, which means that their strength and speed are far superior to other individuals of the same kind. However, Pokémon bred in research institutes rarely have differences in size, because the hatching conditions provided in the research institute are similar, and the chance of hatching a particularly powerful individual is very low.

But now, these three are obviously different from those hatched before!
"How could this happen? This is an amazing change! Open the incubation device quickly!" Dr. Soramu asked his assistant to open the device and walked forward. Facing the three curious Pokémon, Dr. Soramu's eyes were immediately fixed on Chikorita!

The leaves of chrysanthemum are different colors, no, the color of the body is also different!
"Chijigujigu?" Chikorita looked at Dr. Kongmu with some confusion, while Dr. Kongmu was extremely excited about this trip!
"This is a unique new life?!" The egg hatched and flashed!

On the other end of the video call, Professor Oak was also surprised and muttered to himself: "A different-colored Pokémon."

"We've discovered this before!" Professor Soramu quickly replied, "In a normal natural environment, the chances of Pokémon with different colors appearing are very low, and there's no pattern to their appearance. Previously, Team Rocket created a red Gyarados through a special experiment in the Lake of Rage. At the time, the research believed that the red Gyarados retained the color of Magikarp, but later on, a golden Magikarp was discovered, and it could also become a red Gyarados through normal evolution."

Professor Oak pondered, "Yeah, we have indeed discovered Pokémon of different colors in the Orange Islands. These changes are caused by changes in the natural environment. Those Pokémon are somewhere between the different colors and the regional forms."

"However, we have verified the function of this sculpture without a doubt, and it is of considerable significance for the study of hatching, breeding, and egg groups!"

Professor Soragi forced himself to calm down his excitement: "After this batch of Pokémon are hatched, they will soon be handed over to new trainers. I have to hurry up and study them!"

"Study of Sculpture"

"Oh, then leave it to me." Professor Oak was also very interested: "What kind of power affects the color of Pokémon and makes them stronger? Before hatching, the sculpture emits light, as if telling us in advance that new life is about to be born. It should have affected the surrounding hatching environment, which led to this situation."

"Well, things related to the occult are beyond the understanding of science. There have been many similar cases in this world."

As Professor Oak spoke, his eyes changed, as if he was thinking of some distant memory.

Divine Capital, Traveler’s Workshop.

Guangtai clicked on the customer's window that popped up and let out a long breath.

Some old customers who have purchased products before, as well as some new customers, gave me valuable suggestions!
"Ice-attribute items, like melting ice and snowballs, but I don't know where to get them. Climbing the ancient sacred peak is too dangerous."

"You can try making dolls. A substitute doll and a Pipi doll? I still have some materials here, which should be enough."

"Mystical paper, this is a good idea. I really haven't thought of using paper as a mystical item. Maybe it will create something unexpected, just like the cursed email sent by the Ancient Explorer's Gengar? In that case, the double scabbards should also learn modern characters. No, it would be better to write books in ancient characters, which can also increase the mystery! Now put the paper in my warehouse into the fourth room for mystical infiltration. Wrap it with the mystical cloth, and then let the double scabbards process it, it should be able to create mystical paper faster."

"Painting and decorating carpets, wallpapers, glass whistles with tea sets and super powers. My painting skills are still a little far from my carving skills, but if I paint in the style of the ruins, maybe it will work!"

"I have never made a musical instrument, but I might be able to try forging it. The material I need is brass, or maybe the fragments of the bronze mirror monster. I wonder if I can buy them."

Although Bronze Mirror Monsters are not rare Pokémon, most of them gather in ancient ruins, abandoned buildings, and tombs, so they are not easy to encounter.

"In this case, we need to buy a lot of props and materials from the outside world. I just happened to make a lot of money recently, so let's use it all!"

Guang Moss began to search for the necessary props and materials on the computer. Some Pokémon materials can be purchased online, such as the hair of Jigglypuff, which is a high-level Pokémon material and can be made into high-level wool, so there are special ranchers who raise them. But some cannot, and the rarer ones are even more difficult to obtain.

"The recent income from selling sculptures and various props has accumulated about 300 million yuan."

The prices of some sculptures are not uniform, some are cheap and some are expensive, and the inventory quantities are different. Among them, the sculpture of Arceus brought 60 yuan in revenue to Light Moss, and the other sculpture products added up to about 150 million yuan.

The remaining two kinds of spells, battle items, pottery of light, and bait food also amount to 100 million.

"At the same time, there is some unrecorded income. The sculptures from Kuiqisi and Mashide are not included. They can only be recorded after the goods are received."

“Buy materials for various Pokémon, as well as common minerals and cotton for stuffing dolls.”

"Cotton. Wind fairy cotton is a specialty of Unova."

"Minerals. The mines in Galar are rich in brass, and high-quality minerals related to copper elephants."

"For painting, the tail pigment of the Tutu dogs in the Johto region is top quality!"

"Cloth. The wool woven from the hair of the Kanto region's Porkheads is the most premium product."

These Pokémon are very common, having lived with humans for a long time and having a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship with humans, so they can be purchased online with just a quick search. However, since high-end products are very expensive, Light Moss's funds have shrunk rapidly.

"Just buying more of these four materials cost 188 million yuan, and now I still have 150 million yuan left."

"Art scrolls and stained glass in Odomare, unique musical instruments in Shiragiri Town, retro crafts and clothing in Rota City, volcanic ash in the Hoenn region."

"Expenditure of 110 million yuan, as expected, the price of art is really not cheap."

Guangtai looked at his balance. Although there was only about 40 left, it was enough for him to buy some extra materials.

The next time Charizard and the others deliver things over here, it will probably be very hard!
