Zhulan, who was not far away, moved her ears slightly.

"Nanxian, did you hear any sound?"

"no."

The young craftswoman looked calm, and spoke indifferently to the new tea balls on the table.

"Sister Zhulan, you probably heard it wrong."

"is it?"

Zhulan frowned, feeling as if she had heard a cry like that of a fox cub just now. But after carefully observing the movements around her, she did not find anything unusual and could only continue to focus her attention on Nanxian's hand.

It would not matter if she did not look at it, but when Zhulan caught a glimpse of the brown cones in the girl's hand, she immediately became interested.

"This cone seems to be different from the cones I have seen before?"

Even though Zhulan did not understand all the skills of the Poké Ball craftsmen in making Poké Balls, she still recognized the seven common cones. However, the cones in Nanxian's hand were different from the common ones. They were faintly brown, just like the cones recorded in the history of Xicui.

"I got this cone from a friend. Its properties seem to be exactly the same as the tea cones mentioned in the records. I wanted to use it to make a shuttle ball."

Nan Xian deliberately emphasized the word "friend", and Zhu Lan immediately understood and grasped the literal implication.

The ability to read the atmosphere is very important in adult interactions. It is not necessary to say everything very clearly. Zhulan was able to understand that the friend Nanxian was talking about might be related to her secret.

"Could it be that when Nan Xian summoned the God of the Sea and the God of the Rainbow, or during some stage of his adventure, there was some unknown secret..."

The Sinnoh champion felt itchy.

However, this time Nan Xian was not fooling Zhulan casually. The friend she mentioned was very straightforward, and she was referring to Zoroark.

[Zorua gave Shemi the tea cone, a souvenir he brought with him! ]

[You obtained tea cone*1]

When Zoroark arrived, it showed a fawning expression when it saw Nanxian, and directly handed the tea ball cone to the girl. It seemed that it completely regarded Nanxian as an adult who took care of Shemi, just like Zoroark to Zoroark. Zoroark obviously believed that the relationship between Nanxian and Shemi was that the former was superior.

——That’s true.

But when Nan Xian accepted the tea ball fruit, he heard a system prompt at the same time and felt that an additional tea ball fruit had been added to the system warehouse.

The gifts brought by Soraya were always given to Xie Mi, and the rewards Nan Xian received came from the system. The two were not the same thing, so she had to wait until Xie Mi woke up to return the tea ball fruit she had accepted for the time being.

But Nan Xian was still very curious.

Xiemi has received a lot of jade from Soraya. If I don't keep an eye on Xiemi all the time, I don't know where Xiemi puts those jades.

Could it be that it also has a secret space for storing small items, just like the inside of the coat of the Evil Spirit?

While Nan Xian was daydreaming, Zhu Lan was also thinking about the tea ball fruit.

"That is to say, this cone is very likely the tea cone mentioned in Xicui's records!"

Zhulan immediately confirmed the existence of the tea ball cone, and then began to consider the follow-up.

"If that's the case, maybe we can grow tea cone trees by removing the pulp and seeds..."

Nan Xian does not need the inner parts of the Poké Ball in the process of making the Poké Ball, only the shell of the ball is needed. When Zhulan turned her attention to the seeds of the tea ball cone, her eyes seemed to flash with light, and she almost asked directly if the seeds could be given to her.

But the young craftswoman had a better suggestion.

"As for growing fruit trees, there should be many experts in Huayuan Town. We can save the seeds first and then ask the experts for their opinions."

"That's right."

Zhulan calmed down a little and immediately started to help Nanxian collect the pulp and seeds of the tea fruit.

If the tea cones brought by Soraya can be fully utilized, perhaps we can re-cultivate tea cone trees in modern times.

Nan Xian was distracted, performing his actions while thinking about the future.

Let’s not talk about things that happened too long ago. Anyway, Zhulan cares about it more than Nanxian himself. If he leaves it to Zhulan, Nanxian thinks he only needs to wait for the subsequent results.

By the time Zhulan had finished cleaning up the pulp and seeds, Nanxian had just cut the shell of the tea cone into two halves and started processing the jade and tool parts.

"Is this the sky blue jade used to make shuttle balls? It's completely different from modern jade. I wonder if jade like this can still be dug up underground in Sinnoh today."

Zhulan is like a curious baby who wants to express her opinions whenever she sees something new.

Logically speaking, sky blue jade and black jade were used to make Poké Balls in the Xicui era. Although plants like the tea ball may become extinct over time, the jade should remain underground.

But the actual result is that the jade disappeared more cleanly than the tea cones. Even the cones evolved into the seven colors of today. No trace of the sky blue jade and black jade was left. They disappeared completely.

The scholars were puzzled by this, and Zhulan did not want to get the answer directly from Nanxian. However, when the young female craftsman heard the question, she answered casually.

"Perhaps the Creator cannot bear to see us continue to use the power of the sky blue jade and black jade, so he took them back and only left us with more ordinary jade."

"hehe."

Zhulan couldn't help laughing when she heard Nanxian's answer.

"I didn't expect that you would joke around, Nan Xian. The Creator or something like that, that's too exaggerated."

No, actually I'm telling the truth.

Nan Xian answered silently in his heart, and at the same time recalled an inscription.

"The fragments of its power were sealed in jade and buried underground."

She had previously glimpsed the inscriptions on the back of several stone slabs during Giratina's simulation, and this inscription on the back of the sky blue slab left a deep impression on Nan Xian.

There really exists a god who created the world in this world, his name is Arceus. His clones, Dialga and Palkia, worked together to shape time and space and created the basis of matter. The three Pokémon he created are also called the gods of the mind. As guardians of the lake, they brought knowledge, emotion and will to the world.

Nan Xian has already met Yuxi and Emrido, two of the gods of mind. As for other high-level beings, she is sure that they are living in another dimension of the world, spying on reality.

Precisely because gods do exist, humans should not overestimate their own significance.

The Poké Balls that modern humans are accustomed to are essentially made of jade and containers, but the power derived from the jade actually comes from Arceus.

The inscription on the stone tablet is the secret of creation.

Arceus sealed fragments of his power into jade, allowing humans to combine jade and cones to create Poké Balls, which led to a close connection between humans and Pokémon.

But the sky blue jade and black jade from the Xicui era are too outstanding.

Perhaps in that era, humans still needed the power of sky blue jade and black jade, and the flying feather ball and heavy ball did achieve many results, allowing the Pokémon encyclopedia recorded by Xi Cui to be preserved to this day, providing scholars with many references.

By the modern times, most Pokémon have become accustomed to coexisting with humans. Even without the need for extremely high capture abilities, young people can capture Pokémon using the simplest red and white Poké Balls, simply relying on the bond between humans and Pokémon.

The sky blue jade and black jade disappeared from the ground without anyone noticing. Even though some of the techniques of the heavy ball have been passed down to the present day and transformed into one of the famous tangerine balls in the Johto area, the real flying feather ball and heavy ball have indeed withdrawn from the stage of history.

——Then, what meaning does the sky blue jade that I am holding in my hand right now represent?

The young craftswoman was daydreaming.

There are so many secrets in this world, for example, where did the electronic Pokémon development system that she activated at the beginning of her time travel come from? The girl is still looking for the answer.

But many questions do not require answers.

The origin of the system, the meaning of the sky blue jade...

There are too many confusing issues around Nan Xian, but she never dwells too much on these things. The young craftsman only knows that if there is a road ahead, she will step on it and try. If she really steps into the mud, she can wait until then to think about how to get out.

Therefore, Nan Xian emptied her mind and focused only on the movements of her hands. As her fingers traced, the tools and jade silk on the table floated up out of thin air, operating at a speed so precise that bystanders could not see clearly.

If you want to make your own shuttle ball, all you have to do is maximize the performance of the tea ball fruit, cut the sky blue jade into jade threads to fill it up, and then use metal parts to make components to strengthen the structure.

Nan Xian has made Poké Balls countless times, and this time the work progressed probably the smoothest ever, but she was not surprised at all.

“Because I am still making progress.”

The girl's mind was calm, her thoughts were on the surface, but she didn't think too much about it.

"Every second, every hour, every day, I am always a little bit better than my past self."

Whether it's a craftsman or a trainer, if they are determined to move forward, they cannot afford to retreat.

It's just a shuttle ball.

Nan Xian looked at the sky blue Poké Ball that was gradually taking shape in his hand with a calmer attitude.

It was not until Zhulan blinked her eyes inadvertently that she suddenly discovered that Nanxian had already pinched the Poké Ball, rubbing his fingertips on the surface, as if he was feeling the finished product.

"Did you make it?"

the Sinnoh Champion asked cautiously.

Faced with Zhulan's question, Nan Xian came back to his senses, nodded first, and then shook his head.

“It can be said to be successful, but it cannot be said to be completely successful.”

"...Nan Xian, you're talking so awkwardly, not at all straightforward."

“Because I feel like I can do better.”

The white-haired girl smiled and handed the shuttle ball in her hand to Zhulan. Seeing this, Zhulan also took it and tried to feel its quality.

"Well?"

As soon as she touched it, Zhulan felt something strange.

"This shuttle ball doesn't seem to be much heavier than an ordinary Poké Ball?"

"Yes."

Nan Xian answered frankly.

"This is why I said it was not completely successful. If the purpose is to reproduce the shuttle ball from the Xicui era, this shuttle ball can only be considered a failure."

"If that's the case, then why do you say it's a success?"

Zhulan asked.

"Because I can use this shuttle ball far better than the original one."

Nan Xian stretched out her hand towards Zhulan. At the same time, her eyes gleamed. As her mental power surged, the shuttle ball in Zhulan's hand floated back to Nan Xian's hand on its own.

"like this."

Nan Xian hooked the shuttle ball in the air with her fingers, and she waved her hand slightly, and the shuttle ball seemed to disappear in the air and flew away in the blink of an eye.

When the young craftsman waved again, the shuttle ball immediately stopped moving and flew back into her hand.

"It is very difficult to perfectly replicate the original. Even I can't do it in a short time."

Nan Xian admitted that Xiaozhao did a good job, and even she couldn't imitate the finished product immediately.

However, the Poké Balls made by Nanxian are not famous for their fine structure.

If we use telekinesis to describe it, when Nan Xian first applied psychic powers and waveguide sensing abilities to the Poké Ball, it was with great force. Her Poké Ball was flawless and could connect the emotions between the trainer and the Pokémon, and it did not use any physical structure.

Nan Xian has always been able to examine himself with a calm and objective perspective.

Precisely because Nan Xian doesn't think she is a genius with a meticulous mind, she can use the means she has and her unique skills to create a Poké Ball that is unique to her.

Seeing Nan Xian controlling the shuttle ball as if it were his own arm, Zhu Lan seemed to be thinking about something.

"I see. Just like your tangerine ball is called Nanxian-style tangerine ball, should this shuttle ball also be called Nanxian-style shuttle ball?"

"That sounds like a good name."

Nan Xian first put away the shuttle ball, then looked a little apologetic.

"But for the shuttle ball that Sister Zhulan is expecting, this one probably can't be called the one..."

"Huh, what are you thinking about?"

Zhulan, however, had a smile on her face, and the happiness on her face did not seem fake.

"Academic work doesn't progress in a day or two. I never thought I'd see a perfect shuttle ball in such a short time. You first used your own skills to make a replica on the road to replicating the shuttle ball. Your efficiency has surpassed everyone else's. Why do you need to apologize?"

Nan Xian thought silently and considered Zhulan's words from his own perspective.

In other words, instead of releasing the finished product right away, they released the imitation product first. Can they get two more papers this way?

The girl somehow understood Zhulan's feelings.

Things in the academic world were not any easier than those of craftsmen and trainers. Nan Xian was just thankful that he did not rush into this pit in the first place.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Zhulan didn't realize that Nanxian had read her subtle thoughts, and she continued to speak with a smile.

"Don't you want to use the shuttle ball to subdue Xie Mi? Now that the ball is made, Xie Mi will probably wake up soon. Let me record the process of you using the shuttle ball to subdue Xie Mi."

"……Um."

Nan Xian calmed down.
