My electronic Pokémon came true?

Nan Xian scratched the mini dragon's cheek with his fingertips and turned to ask.

"..."

Seeing his own Pokémon acting like a spoiled child in the hands of others, Ryugu felt mixed emotions and was extremely puzzled.

——Strange, aren’t our Pokémon very arrogant and basically unwilling to have any contact with ordinary people?

Could it be that Nan Xian is different from others?

On the other side, Erguilang, who saw Nanxian caressing the mini dragon, could no longer sit still.

"Bonnie!"

The little devil rushed back to the tent, and when he ran out again, he was holding a round shark ball in his hands.

Holding up the ball, Erguiliang tried hard to get in front of Nanxian.

"Boni, Boni!"

Speaking of which, the last time he played ball with Erguiyan was when the simulator was still alive. Nan Xian took back his hand and took the ball amidst the regretful meow of Mini Dragon.

When Long Gong saw the shape of the ball in Nan Xian's hand, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I often played with this kind of toys with other children when I was in my hometown."

"Are there round land sharks in Dragon's Lair?"

"Of course! Since we are a clan of dragon users, we introduced other dragon-type Pokémon species a long time ago!"

The blue-haired girl puffed out her chest with pride and placed her hands on her hips.

"We have connections in Fengyuan and Hezhong, so exchanging a few dragon-type Pokémon is not a problem at all. Although the number is not large yet, the boss and the eldest sister have bred a few of them. Things will definitely get better and better in the future."

It took Nan Xian a long time to realize who the boss and elder sister Long Gong mentioned were.

A'du, the current champion of the Quartz League, and Xiaochun, the master of the Yanmo Gym in Yanmo City, are both the signature figures that the Dragon Messenger clan is proud of.

"Hmm...I see."

True champions, kings, and even gym leaders cannot always have only one official team. They are also pursuing to become stronger.

Since there was a lack of dragon-attribute Pokémon in the early generations of Pokémon games, Adu, who was famous for his dragon-attribute expertise but appeared in the early stages of the game, sent out a team composed mainly of flying-type Pokémon when facing players, so he was nicknamed the king of flying-type Pokémon.

But few people know that when the game generation developed to the Black and White Unova version, Adu and Xiaochun, who appeared in the world championship within the game system, had already formed a complete dragon team.

Nan Xian is still unclear whether the two current dragon masters have achieved that step, but Adu and Xiaochun both belong to the righteous side of the alliance, so it is good news to know that they are still getting stronger.

At least compared to the terrible situation in Padia's Area Zero, the Johto and Kanto regions where only Team Rocket was active seemed unusually peaceful.

After relaxing, Nan Xian found an open space and started playing ball with Erguiliang.

Compared to using a simulator where you only need to tap the screen, exercise in reality consumes more energy. Fortunately, Nan Xian’s physical fitness is not bad. After his effort value adds three points of physical strength, he can keep up with Erguirong without using superpowers.

Half an hour later, Longgong was stunned watching the ball flying back and forth in the air.

- You call this playing with a ball?!

In Ryugu's impression, playing with a ball should be a harmonious and friendly way of communication where the trainer happily throws the ball and the Pokémon runs over to pick it up.

But let’s take another look at Nanxian and Erguiliang.

"Bonnie!"

A bright smile appeared on Ergui's face, but his hands were ruthless. He raised his hand and slapped it, and the round land shark ball hit Nanxian at a high speed.

The girl remained calm in such a dangerous situation. She was able to react quickly, jump up, catch the ball, and throw it back to Erguiyan.

What is this ball made of?

Long Gong thought seriously.

This ball is so durable that it would be a great idea to get a few back home for the kids to play with.

"Let's stop here for now."

Nan Xian's call to stop interrupted Long Gong's thoughts.

"Ryugu, it's time for us to go out and explore."

"oh oh!"

Realizing his duty as a bodyguard, Ryugu stood up and used the Poké Ball to retrieve the Dratini who had been watching the excitement for a while.

Erguiliang finally used up the energy accumulated over the past few days and followed Nan Xian with a satisfied look on his face.

"Boss, what is the purpose of today's expedition?"

"First, let's look for cones distributed in the wild. I want to pick some fresh cones. Please help me find some suitable targets."

"learn!"

Ryugu stood at attention to show that he received it.

After several experiences of making Poké Balls, Nan Xian already had a vague sense of where the flaws were.

Since he was able to successfully pass the steel verification, Nan Xian’s method must be correct. So, where exactly is the problem?

There is nothing wrong with the technique, but there are areas that can be optimized other than the technique.

Nan Xian has been buying tree fruits at random, processing them, and making Poké Balls using the method taught by his master.

According to normal people's thinking, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but if you think more extremely, Nan Xian thinks that he has not put enough thought into the cones and other devices.

Such an idea would definitely be regarded as metaphysics in previous lives.

But in the world of Pokémon, the power of the heart really exists and is extremely important.

Nan Xian wants to give it a try.

The so-called heart, can it help you make better Poké Balls?

Chapter 41: The Spirit of All Things

As the main venue for the Bug Catching Competition, many Bug-type Pokémon are active in the Nature Park, including some that are both rare and powerful.

Nan Xian was hiding behind the bushes and observing a coniferous tree at this time. Next to the tree, a flying mantis was lying down and resting.

Most of the time, cones in the wild are not favored by Pokémon. After all, the shells of cones are extremely hard, and only weak insect-type Pokémon are willing to spend a lot of time chewing on the cones to eat the flesh.

But for Scyther, the cones have a special meaning.

The sickles in Scythe's hands need to be constantly sharpened to become sharper. They often actively look for hard objects and use their sickles to cut them off.

If the gym leader of the Hinoki Gym, A-Bi, was here, he would definitely be ecstatic to see a wild Scyther, but Nan Xian only saw it as troublesome.

She wasn't an insect catcher, so she had no interest in rare bug-type Pokémon.

"Boss, do you need me to take it down?"

Long Gong on the side was eager to try, the girl's eyes were shining, and her eyes were filled with the desire to fight.

Long Gong's actions inexplicably gave Nan Xian a sense of déjà vu.

Scyther uses the fruit to sharpen its sickle. Are you using Scyther to gain experience?

Resisting the urge to shout "Go, Ryugu!", Nan Xian nodded silently, and seeing the blue-haired girl in high spirits, he waved the Poké Ball to lure Scyther aside.

Nan Xian took the opportunity to walk to the tree and raised his hand to touch the fruits on the cone tree.

"Not mature yet..."

With years of experience from touching the cones, Nan Xian realized as soon as he touched the fruit that it was not yet time to harvest the cone tree.

The variety of this cone tree is black cone. If it is used to make tangerine cones, the finished product will be heavy balls.

The Heavy Ball effect increases the capture success rate for Pokémon whose weight is above a certain standard. Since the minimum standard is 200KG, it is similar to the Bait Ball. It is basically a fruit ball that only special groups will need.

but……

The cones are not only used to make tangerine balls.

The reason why Mango Balls are both famous and expensive is that they are special Poké Balls that are recognized to be impossible to make by machines and can only be forged by Poké Ball craftsmen.

But this does not mean that Poké Ball craftsmen can only forge Poké Balls by hand.

In addition to Heavy Balls, Black Pokemon can also be used to make regular Red and White Pokeballs or Ultra Balls, and is also one of the ingredients for Dark Balls and Luxury Balls.

In recent years, the new types of Poké Balls developed by Devin have become increasingly popular among trainers. Since there is a market, craftsmen will naturally try to disassemble this technology and use it for hand forging.

Although Nanxian's master Steel follows tradition and disdains to make Poké Balls other than Poké Balls.

Nan Xian didn't care. After all, Dewen Company had opened up its patents. She would occasionally make a few for fun and put them on the counter of the workshop to enrich the variety.

Thinking of this, Nan Xian touched the black cone again to determine its maturity.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

The more Nan Xian came into contact with the fruit, the more he felt that there was some unique pulsation inside the cone, but when he tasted it carefully, it was difficult to grasp that inspiration.

"Bonnie?"

Erguiyan, who was standing aside, looked at Nan Xian with a frown and couldn't help but speak.

"I'm fine... I'm just wondering if I've missed any details."

Nan Xian explained to Erguiliang that although the little evil ghost might not know the meaning of his actions, as long as the girl talked to it, she would feel calm inside.

At this moment, Nan Xian suddenly remembered a very important setting, and a guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

It's easy to verify.

System, add some points!

[You have consumed 1 point of effort, and your waveguide sensing ability has been improved. ]

[You sense the faint pulsation of the waveguide.]

In the Pokémon world, everything has its own spirit, and this spirit also has a special term definition.

--waveguide.

Those who can sense and control waveguides are called waveguide messengers.

Just spending 1 point of effort is obviously not enough for Nan Xian to master the power of manipulating the waveguide. Even in terms of sensing, this 1 point can only be called a slight improvement.

But even such a weak pulsation made the world before Nan Xian very different from before.

The breeze blows through the grass, making a rustling sound.

Long Gong shouted and instructed the blue bird to use the Swallow Return. The blue bird flapped its cotton wings, causing slight waves of air.

Beside me, Erguiyan was swaying from side to side, sensing the breath of nature in my spare time.

Is the natural aura in the little evil ghost's eyes the waveguide of the surrounding plants?

The things that he used to ignore have now become extremely clear in Nan Xian's eyes.

Even the unripe fruit in her hand, Nan Xian could only vaguely feel that it was not ripe yet. Now that her palm was pressed against the skin of the cone, the answer naturally came to the girl's mind without much thought.

Three days later, the black cone will be ripe.

--I see.

This is what I lack.

Nan Xian let out a long sigh and closed her eyes. The time that seemed to have slowed down around her sped up again. When she opened her eyes again, she was back to the world she had originally known.

Now Nan Xian finally had a rough idea of ​​the realm his master was in.

Even if it is the same cone, the one made of steel will definitely look more beautiful than the one made of Nanxian, because the girl has not yet grasped the "heart" of the cone.

The filamentous network inside the cone looks perfect after being filled with pre-made jade silk, but in fact there are still a lot of gaps.

From the fruit to the utensils, the production of handmade Poké Balls is the process of polishing the fruit. The more meticulously crafted, the more unique the final Poké Ball will look.

Nan Xian was once proud of his speed in making Poké Balls.

But that kind of fast doesn't mean perfection.

Nanxian right now just needs to slow down a little bit.

“…So this is the realm that Master wanted to tell me about.”
