My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 277 Books and Staff

It worked!

Tong Hua picked up the magic staff, which was warm to the touch and subtly shimmered with water and electricity, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although it's still only a D-grade item, this magic staff hasn't been inlaid with any gems yet.

"Since the information panel specifically mentions the water element, it must be very suitable to inlay a water stone."

But before that—”

As Tong Hua picked up the ash wood magic staff with her right hand, she pulled out a tanned leather magic book from a bag next to her with her left hand.

Writing with the left hand, using a cane with the right.

"Now it's a real-life Pokémon! It can fight and heal!"

Tong Hua held a book in his left hand and a cane in his right, striking what he thought was a very cool pose.

The pages moved without wind, emitting a faint magical glow that echoed the shimmering water at the tip of the magic wand.

He tried to inject a tiny bit of waveguide power into it, and a small ball of clear water immediately condensed at the tip of the illusion staff, gently pulsating as if it were alive.

At the same time, the standard light stones embedded in the tanned leather magic book also glowed slightly, and a gentle, healing energy lingered between the pages.

"Feels pretty good—" Tong Hua said with satisfaction, weighing the new equipment in her hand. "Although I probably won't have many opportunities to use it, it's better to be without it than not to have it!"

Tong Hua tried waving the magic staff in his hand and suddenly discovered that this thing seemed to have a rather practical function.

"If all the water elements in the air are mobilized, wouldn't it be able to be used as a dehumidifier?"

A unique approach as always, but it seems to actually work.

The joy of this exploration allowed Tong Hua to rediscover the pleasure of studying alchemy.

"Okay, keep it up!"

As a result, Tong Hua spent the entire following day holed up in the alchemy workshop in the basement.

All the materials except for the gorilla's tooth were brought back by Tibrim, supposedly by the Fairy Tale Expedition led by Queen Sweet and Cold, which had added new members.

Tong Hua used these materials with gratitude.

He upgraded the tanned leather glyph to a hard leather glyph, and then to an engraved hard leather glyph. It took him half a day just to make this one piece of equipment.

There's no way around it; carving is just too difficult. And you have to carefully remove the original leather casing and then replace the original inlaid light stones onto the new hard casing.

However, this whole process did yield some results. At least the stats of the magic book improved, and it also gained an extra slot for socketing.

In addition to the experience gained from making other potions, Tong Hua successfully pushed his alchemy level to the 20th mark.

"Phew—shouldn't you let me out soon enough?"

Tong Hua stretched and loosened his stiff neck, then glanced at Tibrim, who was still trying to concoct medicine on his own.

"Bri-——" Tibrim checked the time. Several hours had passed since dinner, and it was indeed very late.

"Alright." After much hesitation, Tibrimu finally relented.

"Considering how hard you've practiced today, let's stop here."

"That's great!" Tong Hua felt like she had been granted a pardon. She immediately put down the tools in her hand and moved her slightly sore and numb wrists.

Although studying alchemy was interesting, after being locked up all day, he couldn't wait to breathe some fresh air outside.

Tibrim tiptoed and gently touched the magical runes on the door lock with her small hand. As light shimmered, the lock clicked.

With a sound, it was untied.

Tong Hua pushed open the door of the alchemy workshop and stepped into the elevator leading to the first floor.

When the elevator doors opened again, the cool night air, carrying the faint scent of grass and flowers, wafted in, instantly invigorating him.

Only a warm yellow wall lamp was lit in the living room, casting a soft glow. Tong Hua thought everyone was already asleep, but she saw several figures still curled up on the sofa in front of the TV.

"Um?"

He quietly walked over and saw Chino the Chipmunk, the pickpocket cat, and Sweet Cold Beauty huddled together watching TV.

The TV was showing a new channel that had only recently become available.

It seems that the shows being broadcast are all from the Kanto and Johto regions, which has given the little guys who have been watching Tom and Jerry a whole new world.

"Sigh, it seems shrubs are more obedient. At least they only watch the news and know how to keep their promises."

Tong Hua silently grumbled a few times in his mind, then suddenly remembered something, and quietly slipped behind the sofa—

The three Pokémon were still intently watching the television screen. The program playing was a slightly horror-themed mockumentary film called "The Lavender Town Chronicles."

It seems the three of them are having a contest to see who is the bravest.

"Not only do they not pay attention to the brightness of the room when watching TV, but they also do not restrain themselves!"

Such a naughty little guy needs a little "punishment"!

Thinking of this, Tong Hua seized the opportunity, just as a pale ghost hand suddenly stretched out from the TV screen!

He suddenly leaned out from behind the sofa, letting out a low, guttural "Wow—!"

"Terrible!!!"

"Meow—!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

Three screams of varying intensity instantly shattered the tranquility of the ranch night.

Sweet and cold-blooded beauty reacted the most strongly, instinctively rolling over and delivering a solid kick to the unsuspecting Tong Hua's face.

"Ugh!" Tong Hua was caught off guard and was hit squarely in the face by this "tropical kick". Although the sweet and cold empress withdrew her strength in time, it still made him see stars and stagger back two steps before falling to the ground with a thud.

"Terror!" "Meow!" Chinchilla and the pickpocket cat huddled together in fear, trembling.

"Oh my!" Sweet and beautiful Queen finally recognized Tong Hua and exclaimed in surprise. She rushed forward and tried to help him up, her face full of apology.

"Bree?"

Hearing the commotion, Tibrim also ran out of the elevator with her short legs. When she saw the chaotic scene in front of her, her little brows immediately furrowed.

Tong Hua covered her nose, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "I—I'm fine."

Sorry I scared you, I was just trying to joke around.

I don't know who said that the magic wand and the magic book were useless, but look, they came in handy right away.

"Oh dear—" The sweet and cold-faced queen stood helplessly to the side, her queenly dignity completely gone, filled with guilt and worry.

"Trembling—" "Meow—" Chinchilla and the pickpocket cat also came over, looking at Tong Hua with concern.

Tibrim put his hands on his hips, looked at this person, then at that person, and finally his gaze fell on Tong Hua's red nose, and he sighed.

"I knew you wouldn't be anything good once you were let out, Bree!"

"I know I was wrong—" Tong Hua used the healing techniques from the magic book to heal his injuries, and the redness and swelling on his nose visibly subsided.

He rubbed his still slightly sore nose and looked at the three Pokémon who had gathered around him, their faces full of worry. The little bit of smugness he felt from his successful prank had long been replaced by remorse.

"Okay, okay, I'm really fine now."

But don't watch this kind of thing late at night, it's terrifying—go back to sleep!

"Oh my god!"

Sweet and cold, she was still somewhat concerned about Tong Hua's injury. On the one hand, she was very confident in her kick, and even if she had held back and not used her full strength just now, it had probably caused internal injuries to Tong Hua's body.

She needs to be taken care of personally!

It's definitely not because I was scared by Tong Hua's earlier action and that's why I'm making this excuse to avoid sleeping alone!

Absolutely not!

"Ah-ma————"

Can we sleep together tonight?

"Huh?"
