He knows Pokémon better than me.

Smoke cartridges and sound cartridges can certainly be manufactured with modern technology.

"But all of my products are made from plant materials, completely natural and pollution-free!"

Xiao Zhi proudly introduced it immediately.

Upon hearing this, Pierre's eyes lit up instantly.

Nowadays, green and environmentally friendly practices are being promoted everywhere, and even weapons manufacturing plants are practically being bombed by environmental organizations.
These items are not only practical, but also have the appeal of being green and environmentally friendly, which is sure to attract the attention of Galar trainers!
"Then comes mastery of seeds, these abilities."

Ash then introduced Master Seeds, but he couldn't provide them in large quantities; he could only provide a maximum of three per week.
"Enough is enough!"

Uncle Pierre was even more excited, as his general store had always lacked those limited-purchase items. This expert seed was undoubtedly such a product!

With these things, his previously dejected expression immediately straightened up.

Hisoka Department Store, isn't this just something you can just attack anywhere?
However, Ash had a trump card up his sleeve. He placed three blue and white Poké Balls on the table, each with a white wing pattern on it.

The lower half is not pure white, but a brownish-yellow with a wood grain texture.

The most attractive aspect of the Galar region is undoubtedly catching and battling Pokémon.

The flying wing ball is the real killer weapon!
"A Poké Ball I've never seen before."

Pierre picked up a Poké Ball and examined it in his hand. It was a Poké Ball, similar to a Tentacle Ball or Lure Ball, which increases the capture rate of specific Pokémon.

Judging from the pattern on the surface, it's about catching bird-like Pokémon?

"Catching flying Pokémon does increase the capture rate, but its real use... Uncle Pierre, just toss it in that direction, but don't hit it too hard."

Ash pulled Pierre out through the back door of the general store. It was a narrow alley with few people, but it was straight and long.

Pierre, not understanding but impressed, instinctively threw it out.

Whoosh—!
The next second, the winged ball suddenly shot out, cutting through the air, and only fell to the ground after flying nearly a hundred meters.

Pierre was startled; his hand was still half-raised, and he didn't react for a long time.

Did I even use any force just now?!
"Gah~!!"

His Crested Moonbird flapped its wings and went over to retrieve it.

Xiao Zhi was quite pleased with Uncle Pierre's shocked expression, and then nodded and introduced:
"This is called a Wing Ball. It has a slightly higher capture rate than a regular Poké Ball, and it doubles the capture rate of Pokémon flying in the air. But most importantly, it can fly straight for a distance of 100 meters!"

The most basic Flying Ball has a catch rate of only 0.5, so Ash simply gave up on it.

In any case, the only material used in its production is scrap iron, so it's not complicated.

By the time Pierre realized what was happening, he was beaming with excitement, his excitement at its peak.

As the prop shop owner, he knew the value of the Wing Ball better than anyone else—

Especially for a Galatian who loves flashy scenes!

Is the flying wing sphere difficult to manufacture?

Pierre quickly pressed for details, taking the Flying Ball that the Crested Tundra had brought back. Its surface felt somewhat rough, suggesting it was made using ancient techniques with berries as raw materials, rather than being a modern factory-made Poké Ball.

"It's quite simple to make."

Ash laughed and said that once he mastered the production process, he could probably make a level 2 Pokémon by hand.

The materials, such as azure jade and scrap iron, are easy to find. As for the fruit, the fruit from the Johto region should also be usable? Upon hearing this, Pierre suddenly felt more confident.

With these things, especially expertise in seeds and flying balls, the department store on the next street doesn't seem so bad anymore.

However, if the Flying Wing Ball actually enters the market, it might still be cracked by the opponent.

"Hmm, go back and have Lucario add some anti-hacking features inside."

Xiao Zhi spoke up.

For example, if you take it apart to inspect it, will it automatically break into a pile of fragments?
Pierre immediately added:
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhi, leave these things to me. I can definitely sell them for a high price. The market price will definitely be higher than the previous handmade sweaters!"

Ash nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this; the castle finally had some income again. However, Lucario would have to work harder.

"By the way, Uncle Pierre, could you also prepare two Pokémon with a crafting level of 2 or higher? They can come to my castle as apprentices, and I'll have Lucario teach them the crafting techniques."

Xiao Zhi didn't hold back at all; it seems pretty good that ancient craftsmanship is shining brightly in modern times.
This time, Uncle Pierre's eyes were full of admiration and gratitude as he looked at Ash.

Master Ma, where did you find such a wonderful customer?!
So Ash went to Mapletown, right? There are only Glowing Mushrooms there, so where did all these things come from?

With the grocery store matter settled, Pierre will now visit to discuss the details.

After a detailed discussion with Mr. Mime and Lucario, Ash showed absolutely no interest in doing business.

After leaving the general store, Ash glanced at the time and realized it was almost time for the Max Soup to be ready, so he headed towards the Motostoke Arena.

Sure enough, you can see quite a few new shops along the way that use "Xisuo" as a prefix, and their exterior decorations emphasize luxury.

Because they are in the expansion phase of new stores, the prices are very low, so there are many people crowding in front of each store, making it very lively.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi just grinned and shook his head.

He was starting to look forward to seeing what would happen when Uncle Pierre's general store stocked the new products!
Head straight to the Mech Arena and enter the spacious battle arena area.

Beside him, Flame Ace was dodging and weaving amidst the encirclement of Flame Centipede, Nine-Tailed Fox, and Flame Queen Lizard, fighting against three opponents.

A massive burst of flames blasted from the left, while a flaming whip from a Blazing Centipede struck from the right. The attack could even suddenly be accompanied by the binding of one's hands and feet with telekinesis.

This is the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"cowry!"

However, Flame Ace took the Freelancer trait to its extreme, instantly kicking out a piece of rock while bound by the psychic power—

The Dark-type throwing move instantly breaks through Psychic Binding. When facing Fire moves, it switches to Rock type, kicking out falling rocks to deal critical hits while greatly reducing the damage from the fire.

Kawu stood to the side, arms crossed, watching seriously, occasionally offering a word of advice.

"Your movements are getting more and more skillful."

Ash nodded. It hadn't even been two hours, and he felt that Cinderace's moves had improved to a whole new level.

Incidentally, his watchtower castle and the motor arena were right next to each other.

If he has time in the future, Ace Flame can come here for special training on his own.

Gulu gulu!

Meanwhile, the Max Soup was ready, bubbling away. Torkoal had even turned down the heat, and a rich mushroom aroma filled the air. (End of Chapter)
