My electronic Pokémon came true?

Nan Xian has already reached the point where he can control his telekinesis at will. Apart from the fact that his power level is still low, Lance even has another illusion that makes him shudder.

...Perhaps, I should tell the boss about the illusion in my heart.

Lance hesitated for only a moment before he made up his mind, and just in time his ear rang with the call connected.

"Hey."

Lance spoke immediately.

"My name is Lance. This is an urgent situation. I have information to report to Boss Sakaki."

……

Nan Xian was not sure how much psychological struggle Lance had gone through after escaping.

After returning home that night, although Qianhui helped him clean the dust in the house during her absence, Nan Xian still packed up the souvenirs he brought back from his trip.

The yukata I bought at Enju City, the miko costume I wore while working part-time...

It took a long time just to organize the clothes, and after the battle, I had to help Erguilang take a bath to clean up the slight odor left on his body.

It was already late at night when Nan Xian went to bed, but Erguiyan was still enthusiastic about sleeping with him. After getting up the next day, Nan Xian kept rubbing his eyes from time to time, and only became slightly sober when he stood at the door of the workshop.

"Nan Xian!"

Steel studied the Friendship Ball for the entire night, and by dawn, he finally understood why this Friendship Ball made him feel so special.

After understanding the truth, his iron spirit overcame his physical fatigue. Even with dark circles under his eyes, he stood at the door with his arms folded, waiting for Nan Xian to arrive.

"Why do you look so listless today? Cheer up!"

On the contrary, Gangtie even wanted to teach Nanxian a lesson. Why did he look so depressed?

"Yes……"

The girl was speechless for a moment, but finally cheered up and followed the steel into the workshop.

As soon as he entered the door, Gangtie couldn't wait to walk to the work table and grab the Youyou ball.

"I have understood the secret of your Friendship Ball!"

The old craftsman chattered incessantly, and a series of words came out of his mouth.

"You do use the old-fashioned techniques, but you've mastered your craft better than the little I taught you!"

"There are tiny veins on the cone wall that are invisible to the naked eye. This is a proven fact. Some old craftsmen are aware of it, but because these veins cannot be used, they have not told you young people about it."

"But you found a way to use these veins!"

The old craftsman had dark circles under his eyes, but he was still full of energy.

No matter how sleepy he is, Steel will burst into enthusiasm when talking about handmade Poké Balls, not to mention that this is an unprecedented discovery and the inventor is even his own apprentice.

"Look, the veins of ruby ​​on the wall of this Youyou ball look as if they are alive!"

Steel opened the Youyou ball made by Nanxian and touched the wall of the ball with his fingertips.

The more you touch it, the more special it feels.

"A Poké Ball like this will definitely allow trainers and their Pokémon to have a close relationship without any barriers between them!"

The old man spoke decisively and stated his conclusion.

"You have already become a master, Nanxian, for being able to make this kind of Poké Ball. You can even form your own style and call all the Poké Balls you make Nanxian-style Poké Balls!"

The words of steel were so powerful that they reached Nan Xian's ears, and even Nan Xian himself felt his heart surge.

But after digesting Steel's words, the girl gave a bitter smile.

"Master, I just used my newfound skills and happened to make a new Poké Ball."

Nan Xian kept shaking his head.

"But since there's probably no one else besides me who can use the same memories, there's no way we can form a faction."

"Ah."

Steel nodded.

Although his tone just now was extremely excited, it was actually just because he mentioned the Poké Ball.

After a whole night of thinking, how could Steel not figure it out?

Nan Xian had been traveling for less than a month, and his techniques had not changed at all, but he suddenly figured out a way to fill in the tiny veins on the inner wall of the cone.

This must be because Nan Xian had made his own unique discoveries, and these discoveries could not be used by other Poké Ball craftsmen, so he returned to Hinoki Town to ask himself.

Gangtie misunderstood the reason why Nanxian returned to Huipi Town, but his idea itself was not wrong.

Even though the old craftsman touched the Nanxian Style Youyou Ball with his own hands and studied it for a whole night, he understood the peculiarity of it, but still didn't understand how Nanxian did it.

If I can't understand it, let alone do it, then there's no need to say more about other Poké Ball craftsmen.

Nan Xian's pride in being a Poké Ball craftsman is basically inherited from steel.

How could Steel be willing to admit that he lost to others? Even if his apprentice produced results that were unique enough to stand out on his own, the old craftsman would just nod slightly and wait for the girl to tell him the details.

"I have awakened super powers."

Nan Xian’s first words startled Tietie slightly.

"Just a few days before I was to leave, I found myself suddenly able to sense the existence of telekinesis, so I tried to apply telekinesis to the production of Poké Balls, and unexpectedly succeeded in one fell swoop."

"That speed ball that was the first test was completed in this way."

——No wonder Nan Xian’s efficiency in making speed balls far exceeded his expectations.

Steel realized it belatedly and then suddenly understood.

He was still thinking that Nan Xian needed to be steady and take two or three days to make a mandarin fruit ball, but he didn't expect to finish it in one day. It turned out to be because of his superpowers.

Gangtie doesn't care what kind of talents Nanxian possesses.

No matter what, Nan Xian is his apprentice. The more outstanding she is, the happier he should be.

So even if Nan Xian said that she had super powers, Gangtie just clenched his fists.

As for superpowers, that is beyond my understanding.

Not only that, so far no craftsman has tried to use super powers to make Poké Balls. If it is super powers, then there is no way...

——Of course we can’t just let it go like this!

Now that you have seen new possibilities, be sure to ask about them in detail.

Whatever superpowers can do, my hands, which have been handling cones, jades and tools for more than sixty years, can definitely do too!

"So, did you also use your super powers in the process of making this Friendship Ball?"

A craftsman who refuses to admit his age and keeps learning throughout his life will definitely get all the answers from his apprentice.

"No, that should be more than just an ordinary superpower."

Nan Xian recalled the process of his attempt to make a new type of Poké Ball, and nodded quickly. He also took out a heavy ball from his pocket that looked very familiar to Gangti.

"Speaking of which, it was thanks to the set of tangerine balls given to me by my master that I finally understood."

Only then did Tietie realize that the heavy ball that Nan Xian took out was the same one that he had taught her before she became an apprentice.

At the time, he only thought that Nan Xian still had a lot of room for improvement, but perhaps he couldn't see the path clearly yet. It would be better to use his best product as a reference and try to improve.

Unexpectedly, within a month, Nan Xian came back with a new Poké Ball.

The old craftsman's cheeks were flushed, but fortunately Nan Xian didn't notice and continued to speak excitedly.

“When I saw the mandarin orange balls my master gave me, I realized that I had never tried to understand the orange balls.”

"So, I asked a trainer to take me to a nature park and witness the process of a cone ripening in person. During that process, I slowly came to understand the 'heart' of the cone!"

"?"

Gangtie suddenly couldn't understand what Nan Xian was saying.

Although many Poké Ball craftsmen always teach their apprentices to pay more attention to their hand movements when teaching them to make Poké Balls, they always tell their apprentices to integrate their emotions into the techniques and try to understand the heart of the balls and jade.

But Steel never mentioned anything so mysterious.

If you can do it, you can do it. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. If you are bad, practice. If you are good, praise yourself.

The old craftsman was extremely honest, which was why Nan Xian was able to become a master in just three years.

But after the apprenticeship, why did Nan Xian bring up that kind of messed up metaphysics?

Steel just felt that something was wrong.

"I try to touch the cones, and I can see tiny veins that are invisible to the naked eye."

"Since the vein exists, I will try to fill it up."

"So I cut the jade into threads, and then chopped the threads into dust, until the jade powder was ground to a level that was invisible to the naked eye. I then used my telekinesis to slowly fill them into the veins one by one."

"During this process, my heart was connected to the tangerines, and in the end, I made a special tangerine ball."

Nan Xian also felt that what he said was a mess and not as organized as what Professor Gangtie said to him. He immediately felt embarrassed and hurriedly added.

“However, I think this is not yet the ideal state that Master wants to teach me.

"——The tangerine ball with a spherical shell that is as hard as steel should be the master's highest masterpiece. I want to make that kind of tangerine ball, so my current level is far from enough and there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"..."

However, the citrus ball I made was just polished on the spherical shell, and the effect was just to make it easier for trainers to use and maintain.

Steel recalled his original intention, which was to remind Nan Xian not to focus too much on the technique, but to focus on the overall appearance of the Poké Ball.

Could it be that this is a case of an unintentional success?

"Cough cough."

The old craftsman coughed twice to cover up his guilty conscience.

At this point, it seems too late to say that I have no such intention at all.

"Yes."

Gangtie pretended to be calm and spoke according to Nanxian's words.

"——You do have plenty of room for improvement. Just follow your ideas and continue to improve your skills."

Chapter 98: Self-reflection, adding points, and the secret of the GS ball.

In Nan Xian's heart, she always believed that Steel was the best Poké Ball craftsman in the world, so whenever Nan Xian heard Steel say in a calm tone that he was still far from being good enough, she would always feel encouraged.

"Yes!"

The girl answered readily. Hearing that Nan Xian easily accepted his lesson, Gangtie felt uncomfortable.

But Nan Xian did not give Gangtie any more time to hesitate. He changed the subject and mentioned his original intention of returning to Huipi Town.

"Master, I recently got a piece of jade. As far as I know, this jade is likely to come from the former Xicui area, and it was the material used by craftsmen at that time to make Poké Balls."

As he spoke, Nan Xian placed the sky blue jade on the table.

"Jade material from the Xicui area?"

The old craftsman immediately came to the table and looked at this piece of jade he had never seen before. He stretched out his hand and used his fingertips to feel the touch of the sky blue jade.

"…Indeed, although it looks unique, it is indeed very similar to the jade of Sinnoh."

Steel came to a conclusion.

With the stimulation of the Nanxianliu Poké Ball, the jade from the ancient Xicui region, although equally amazing, was not enough to make Steel lose his mind.

Not only that, as soon as he saw the sky blue jade, Gangtie guessed Nan Xian’s thoughts.

"Do you want to try making a Poké Ball using this jade?"

Both are Poké Ball craftsmen. Nan Xian was overwhelmed with emotion for a long time when he obtained the sky blue jade, and Gangtie could also understand this feeling.

The precious and rare material is right in front of you. Knowing that you can use it to make Poké Balls, how can you resist trying it?

"Yes, I am also looking for different kinds of cones now, and I want to try one by one to see which kind of cones can better adapt to the sky blue jade."

"In that case, why not make it as you just said, using the cone tree at the entrance of the workshop?"
