My electronic Pokémon came true?

It was the first time that she was praised like this, and the person in front of her was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Padia region. To be honest, Nan Xian didn't quite understand why Yasaku was so excited.

"No, no, no, this is all from my heart!"

However, Yasaku became more and more excited as he spoke, and even the tone of his voice changed.

"The Poké Ball itself is a work of art among Poké Balls, and your craftsmanship in making the Poké Ball is already worthy of being called a master!"

"We in Padiya have never been able to purchase enough quality and quantity of mandarin orange balls. Even today, when I teach students, I can't even produce a good enough finished product to explain to them what mandarin orange balls are!"

"Your arrival has solved my urgent need. I am so grateful and honored!"

On the side, Clavel listened to what Yasaku said and nodded continuously.

As we all know, as the birthplace of mandarin orange balls, mandarin orange balls in Johto area have always been in short supply.

Even though the cost of purchasing the Fruit Balls is not too expensive for local trainers who are acquainted with the Fruit Ball craftsmen, trainers from other places who are unable to buy the Fruit Balls can only keep raising the price if they want to buy them.

In the Padia region, a mandarin orange ball made by a master can even be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars at an auction!

Chapter 122: Millerton's Movement

No wonder Yasaku was so excited.

Nan Xian recalled the rumors he had seen on the Internet.

Although the Padia region is vast and sparsely populated, it was ruled by the imperial class 2000 years ago and merged with neighboring countries 800 years ago.

The Padya region, where our ancestors once lived, and the urban-rural fringe region, compared with the urban-rural fringe region, their consumption concepts are completely different, even without comparing their strengths.

Nan Xian had never believed that tangerine balls could really be sold for hundreds of thousands, but now she understood a little.

Most of the trainers in the Johto region are pragmatic. Although the Mango Ball is rare and useful, its overall function is similar to that of ordinary Poké Balls. Therefore, ten thousand Mango Balls is roughly the limit that the trainers in Johto can accept.

But in Yasaku's opinion, the Gan Guo Ball is completely different from ordinary Poké Balls. The Gan Guo Balls carefully made by Poké Ball craftsmen can be regarded as works of art among Poké Balls.

It is natural that works of art sell for high prices.

——There are so many rich people in the Padia area.

Nan Xian sighed inwardly.

Then again, Clavel wanted to order a batch of tangerine balls from me before?

The girl who had agreed casually before was shocked at this moment.

Look at what they said, a bunch of them!

A batch of tangerine balls would have to start with dozens of them. Even if Nanxian's tangerine balls were not as good as master-level works of art, each one costing tens of thousands of dollars, which meant it was a seven-digit business.

Could this be the feeling of getting rich right before your eyes?

"No, no, Mr. Yasaku, you are flattering me."

A smile appeared on the girl's face.

Although my savings are around seven figures, which makes me considered wealthy among my peers, who would refuse the opportunity to earn more money?

Seeing that Yasaku wanted to say something else, Clavel, who had been watching for a long time and saw his art teacher becoming more and more excited, felt that the topic was not getting on track, so he quickly interrupted.

"Teacher Yasaku, please don't forget today's business."

At Clavel's reminder, Yasaku took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and his expression became serious.

"...Yes, I almost forgot the most important thing."

"Ms. Nanxian, can you show me the mandarin orange balls you made?"

Yasaku's request was not excessive. Moreover, it was reasonable for the Orange Academy, which had placed an order for the tangerine balls, to inspect the goods before shipping.

Although neither the principal nor the teacher said it explicitly, Nan Xian took it seriously in his heart. He nodded and took out a moon ball from the small bag he was carrying.

Each Poké Ball has its own advantages, but if you look at it from a work of art perspective, the Moon Ball looks completely different from ordinary Poké Balls and has a very unique feel.

The blue and black tangerine ball with a moon pattern on it caught Hassaku's attention the moment it appeared.

"This is... the Moon Ball!"

Yasaku took two steps at a time, took the moon ball from Nanxian's hand, and observed it carefully with wide eyes.

But this is only the first one.

The girl continued to take out other kinds of tangerine balls from the bag.

Sweet ball, level ball, friendly ball...

One after another, the two people present were dazzled by the sight, until six different tangerine balls were neatly placed on the table in the principal's office, including the moon ball in Yasaku's hand.

Hassaku's eyes widened as he looked at the set of mandarin orange balls in front of him.

"If you want to taste it, it would be better to open the tangerine ball and look at the lines on the inner wall."

Nan Xian reminded him considerately, but Basaku held the tangerine ball in his left hand and waved his right hand repeatedly.

"How can that be... It's really rude. I'd better just take a look at your work first."

——But if you don’t look at the inner wall of the ball, how can you confirm whether it is functioning properly?

Nan Xian was speechless. She always felt that the one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Padya in front of her was a little too meticulous in character.

In contrast, Clavel picked up the Youyou ball naturally, pressed the button to open the ball shell, and according to Nanxian's introduction, carefully observed the texture on the inner wall of the ball.

Nan Xian had noticed before that Clavel had a circle of commemorative balls hanging around his waist.

The principal of Orange Academy seemed to have some knowledge about the orange ball. After looking at the inner wall of the Youyou Ball for a while, he frowned and noticed something.

"Nanxian, your tangerine balls seem to be different from ordinary tangerine balls?"

“You noticed it.”

Nan Xian is already very familiar with how to introduce her special products. When something is difficult to explain with words alone, she will directly take out the corresponding reference products.

"My tangerine balls are made with my own unique craftsmanship. Compared to ordinary tangerine balls, they have the effect of connecting the emotions between trainers and Pokémon."

"If you want to know the difference in more detail, I have some mandarin orange balls made by the master."

As he spoke, Nan Xian took out the steel apprenticeship gift. This was a big deal. Basaku's falcon-like eyes moved instantly and saw the mandarin orange ball in the girl's hand, which had a metallic appearance and emitted a shiny metal glow.

"What?! And the work of the Iron Master!"

Yasaku took an extremely long breath and looked like he was about to faint.

If Nanxian's fame still needs to be introduced by Professor Oak and is still only spread within a small range, Gangti is a well-known and world-famous master in the circle of tangerine ball enthusiasts.

The tangerine ball that Nan Xian took out was made by Tietie with all his efforts, and was intended to be a perfect work of art that his apprentices could use as a reference for their progress.

One coin is enough to be sold at a high price of hundreds of thousands in the Padia area!

Nan Xian specially took out his master's work for Clavel's reference, but he forgot that Basaku's ability to endure was limited. At that moment, the middle-aged man burst into tears.

“…It’s so, so perfect!”

In front of the girl, Hassaku put his hands in front of his eyes and burst into tears.

"I can't help myself, wow! I can actually see the work of the steel master..."

Is it so exaggerated...

Nan Xian's eyes widened, not knowing how to respond to Yasaku's reaction. Clavel originally wanted to learn more from Nan Xian, but when he saw his teacher's embarrassing appearance, he shook his head helplessly.

The situation was out of control for a while, but Yasaku's emotions came and went quickly. Just when Nan Xian was trying hard to organize his words, Yasaku suddenly returned to normal without him noticing.

“A small tangerine ball, but full of the energy of the craftsman!”

Yasaku opened his eyes wide and spoke loudly.

"Even if I don't look closely, just by looking at the work of you and Master Iron, I can understand how the craftsmen carefully hold the tiny cones, and how much time and effort they put into making the Poké Balls!"

“This is truly the art of a craftsman, and it is an example that our students should learn from!”

Nan Xian was caught off guard and could only answer with a dry smile.

"Is...is that so?"

Can a tangerine ball that I can make in an hour really be considered a work of art?

The girl, who has always been a pragmatic person, saw Yasaku's reaction and couldn't help but wonder if she didn't have the ability to appreciate art and couldn't see through the artistic elements in her own work.

—But this is the ball I made, right?

On the other hand, with the help of his teacher, Clavel slowly learned some advanced knowledge about the tangerine ball from Nan Xian.

The general process of making mandarin orange balls, how to make them, and how they present their final appearance.

Although Yasaku was easily excited, as soon as Nan Xian opened his mouth, he immediately became serious and nodded while listening.

Just by looking at Yasaku's reaction, the girl became curious about what kind of education the students here usually received.

Even tangerine balls can be used as teaching materials. Orange Academy is so terrifying.

With the Steel Fruit Ball for comparison, Clavel was able to simply understand the characteristics of Nanxian's work. When he heard that the gym leader of the Quartz Alliance bought the Fruit Ball from Nanxian, the old principal nodded and no longer hesitated.

"Then, we at Orange Academy would like to place a long-term order for tangerine balls from you..."

Clavel and Orange Academy were more generous than Nanxian had expected. They did not simply purchase a batch directly, but wanted to place orders with Nanxian in a long-term manner.

According to outsiders' impression of mandarin orange balls, it takes most craftsmen several days to make mandarin orange balls, and ordering dozens of them at a time does not seem realistic.

Orange College also ordered the tangerine balls to give them out as rewards to students.

A Poké Ball worth hundreds of thousands in the Padia region can be obtained by students in school. Not only is it a big gimmick, but it can also motivate students to work harder.

Therefore, there should not be too many balls, nor too few.

Finally, after some internal evaluation, Clavel decided that it would be just right to purchase a set of tangerine balls from Nanxian within a quarter.

After a pleasant bargaining session, Nan Xian accepted the order.

Although the price is not as high as that of other places, it is still several times higher than the price in the Johto area.

For Nan Xian, he only needs to spend a few hours to achieve the same effort as other craftsmen for a quarter.

Not only will there be a place to sell the Poké Balls on a daily basis, but if other new types of Poké Balls are created in the future, the Orange Academy should be happy to purchase them.

After leaving the principal's office, Nan Xian recalled the smiling faces of the principal and the art teacher, and felt that the latter had great potential.

The flying feather ball, which was made by replicating the ancient Poké Ball technology of the Xicui region, is still lying in Professor Oak's research institute, waiting for Professor Oak to invite many scholars to come and study it.

When the research results are almost ready and made public, if Nan Xian can't find a Pokémon to use the Featherball, or if he gets a new sky blue jade to make a Featherball, he can consider selling one to Orange Academy.

"Since there is an art teacher... there must also be a history teacher who can be used to teach the students."

Nan Xian didn't want to attend classes with the students, but he didn't mind giving them more homework.

The girl was happily thinking in her mind, strolling in the campus, and was about to go to her temporary dormitory. Inadvertently, her eyes swept over the passers-by, and suddenly the precious ball in her pocket shook slightly.

"Ok?"

Nan Xian stopped and looked around, only to see a student standing outside the crowd, carrying a backpack and looking intently at his Rotom phone.

After Nan Xian focused his attention on him, the precious ball began to shake more and more violently.

——The next moment, Millerton appeared behind Nan Xian.

"Wow--!"

However, he didn't expect that a scream came from beside him. Nan Xian then realized that someone else was approaching him.

"You scared me... Could it be that I was noticed?"

Nimo patted her chest, looking still frightened.

The moment Nan Xian was distracted, he didn't notice when Nimo quietly approached him. When she saw Nan Xian looking at her, the wheat-skinned girl smiled again.

"Good afternoon, Nan Xian!"

The commotion here attracted the attention of other students. Nan Xian, who was wearing a casual skirt, looked out of place in the students' eyes. They thought she might be a new teacher, so they didn't dare to disturb her casually.

Nimo followed Nan Xian's gaze and looked into the crowd, but the crowd blocked the figure of the male student.

"Ah, Gas?"

Millerton looked around but couldn't find his target. Seeing countless people looking at him, he immediately shrank his body and hid behind Nan Xian.

When the white-haired girl saw Millerton showing up on his own to attract her attention and then looking so cowardly in the end, she immediately took out the precious ball in annoyance.
