Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

#153 - Apple pests and diseases

“Haya?”

Grotle, the Grove Pokémon. Its shell has turned yellow and is divided into several sections. The body beneath the shell is still green, but the lower jaw and feet are also yellow, giving it a somewhat憨憨 appearance.

Grotle clearly didn't expect to evolve so quickly, while here, Light Moss began to receive information:

『Grotle has completed a task, gaining experience and growth!』

A large amount of information repeats, demonstrating that one can gain new knowledge through repetitive labor.

『Acquired Knowledge: Ecological Nurturing – Grotle can completely absorb various beneficial components from the soil, combining them with knowledge to further enhance the fertility and nutrition of the land. Soil fertility +100%.』

『Learned Move: Grassy Terrain!』

『Acquired Knowledge: Multiple Germination – Due to possessing knowledge of soil preparation and plant cultivation before evolution, under the protection of the Guardian Stone, the vegetation on Grotle's body will continuously undergo mutations, giving birth to peculiar new plants. Plant mutation +50%.』

『Learned Move: Seed Machine Gun!』

“Congratulations, Grotle, you've gained new power!” Light Moss stroked Grotle's new shell. Unlike the earthy feel of Turtwig's shell, this one is much harder. He wondered if he could still "change the soil" for Grotle like he did in its Turtwig days.

Since this shell is also constructed of soil, then changing the soil is equivalent to "changing the armor," right? If different soils were placed in different positions on the shell, perhaps all-terrain soil cultivation could be achieved.

And those shrubs, the red and green shrubs, are plants Light Moss hasn't seen before. After plucking a red leaf, corresponding information surfaced in his mind.

【Mutated Material: Powerful Shrub Leaf!】

【Description: A plant mutated from Powerful Herbs, possessing the same effects as Powerful Herbs. This shrub bears unique fruits that some Pokémon love. Due to the mutation, eating them produces a brief 'powerful' effect, increasing stats by 10%, and also raising effort values.】

Normally, even ordinary Grotle would bear special fruits on their backs, which look like acorns but aren't hard. Pokémon love this food, but it seems to lack flavor for humans.

“Haya!” Grotle moved its body, finding it had become quite heavy. Fortunately, after thorough training and eating many Energy Cubes and Shinnoh Secret Medicine, both its effort values, condition, and physical strength had greatly improved, so it didn't experience the same loss of confidence after evolution as Ash's Grotle!

Grotle adapted to its body and quickly ran, its heavy body thudding on the ground as it used the move "Grassy Terrain!"

It's getting faster and faster!

“Haya!”

It feels pretty good! That's what Grotle said. The red and green shrubs on its back swayed, providing it with strong stamina support while basking in the sun!

“It's different from ordinary Grotle after evolving?”

“Yeah, besides my nurturing, it's also related to the protection of the Guardian Stone.”

“That stone again? It's really amazing.”

Steven Stone looked at the distinctively colored Grotle with surprise. Then, they both saw Grotle using a special move on an area where new soil had been filled!

Green, starlight-like crystalline energy surrounded it, condensed within its body, and then suddenly burst out. That intense radiance spread from Grotle in all directions! Countless green lights rose from the ground, covering large areas of the mountains and fields! Until the entire mountain range, half of the valley was covered by this light!

Afterward, Grotle opened its mouth and spat "seeds" towards those new lands!

“This is 'Grassy Terrain?!' So big!”

Steven Stone muttered to himself, somewhat dazed.

The Grassy Terrain before his eyes was the largest Grassy Terrain he had ever seen!

On this terrain, ground Pokémon would continuously recover health, and the power of Grass-type moves would also increase. The damage from Earthquake, Magnitude, and Stomp moves would also be halved!

“This is completely different from the Grassy Terrain I've seen. If it's this huge, it could be called a domain, right?”

Steven Stone hadn't battled Light Moss, so he didn't know Turtwig's strength. Of course, Steven Stone knew that Light Moss's Pokémon were very strong, but he didn't expect... it to be this strong!

During the few days of interaction, the seemingly weakest Turtwig suddenly showed such powerful strength after evolving into Grotle, which really startled him!

“Using Grassy Terrain to promote the vitality of the land, and using Seed Machine Gun to spit out seeds for... planting?” Steven Stone's expression became very strange.

Seed Machine Gun can be used like this?

Many Pokémon can use Seed Machine Gun, and some Seed Machine Guns spit out seeds that aren't physical, but rather shock pellets formed from elemental energy. But the seeds Grotle is spitting out now are really "grass seeds" that can be planted?

Light Moss walked over and picked up a seed to observe.

【Mutated Material: Mixed Seed!】

【Description: Mixed seeds are seeds that can be planted in spring, summer, and autumn. The crops that grow will change with the seasons and environment.】

Light Moss was stunned.

He was familiar with this seed!

“Haya.” Grotle explained that those seeds were produced from its body, but it didn't know exactly what plants they would grow into, but they should help restore the valley!

“In that case, come out, Lilligant!”

Light Moss called out Lilligant: “Use 'Growth'!”

“Dorei~” The first thing Lilligant saw was the changed "Turtwig." She curiously circled around Grotle, and after confirming that the Pokémon in front of her was her partner, she was very surprised. Then, she gracefully came to the area of new soil and began to use Growth!

Powerful vitality surged from the land. Under the amplification of the Grassy Terrain, Lilligant's move power was further enhanced. Soon, many sprouts grew on the soil!

“Gachi!” Heracross was the most excited. It shook its body, stomped on the ground, and crawled on the edge of the soil, carefully touching the newly grown sprouts. It didn't expect that this valley, which was almost completely barren, could regain its vitality!

“It's not over yet.” Light Moss took out the Earth Plate and... the Pixie Plate!

The usage of the Earth Plate is simple, just place it on the ground and use a Ground-type move to exert its power.

As for the Pixie Plate... Light Moss scrambled the original words for Calyrex. After all, Calyrex doesn't have much power now, and it's unrealistic to expect it to restore this barren land from afar. Therefore, Light Moss chose another Legendary Pokémon closely related to the soil!

Landorus!

When the words were pieced together, the soil of the entire valley seemed to come alive, and a subtle vitality was hidden beneath the soil. The sky suddenly became windy.

“After rain and lightning, the earth will surely usher in a harvest, absorbing wind and lightning to become energy, giving the soil nutrients, and enriching the earth.”

This is Landorus's ability, and now, the changes in the weather correspond to this!

“Oh, you want rain, storm, and lightning power? No problem.”

Light Moss was still wondering whether to go back and bring Hisuian Electrode or Regirock, or ask Giratina for help, but Steven Stone smiled and said that he could help complete this step, and it was very simple!

“Come out, Aggron! Skarmory!”

A huge monster covered in heavy metal landed heavily, letting out a fierce roar!

Its whole body was covered in hard armor. Its head, neck, and back were covered in silver armor, and it had three sharp horns. Its eyes were sky blue, its shoulders had protrusions, its limbs were also fitted with silver steel rings, and it had a thick, long black tail.

As for Skarmory, its whole body was covered with iron-like hard armor. Its solid steel body looked heavy, but it was actually light and thin. Its whole body was silver like it was wearing armor, and the inside of its wings was red. Weapons made from its feathers were very sharp and were top-grade steel!

Steven Stone pointed to the sky:

“Use Rain Dance!”

“Then... use Thunder on the soil!”

Then Steven Stone looked at Skarmory:

“Use Tailwind on the earth!”

Aggron roared, and the weather suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered and rose into the sky. Soon, rain poured down!

Then, electric light appeared on Aggron's three sharp horns and struck the sky! Electric light churned in the dark clouds, and a huge roar turned into yellow lightning, which slammed into the ground!

The Pixie Plate, which was pieced together with Landorus's name, suddenly emitted light!

A powerful Ground-type energy spread throughout the valley, absorbing the power of wind and lightning!

【Interesting, I will help you too!】

A voice sounded in his soul. Giratina peered at the reality through the mirror, discovered this interesting scene, and volunteered to help. However, it didn't plan to open an entrance here:

【Hold the mirror high!】

Light Moss suspiciously raised the mirror, and then, the surface of the mirror rippled. A huge golden lightning bolt blasted out of the mirror!

Giratina used "Thunder"!

Moreover, this was no ordinary lightning. The energy in the lightning was extremely huge. This lightning was "Wrathful Lightning." In the distant Hisui era, Giratina once unleashed this lightning, causing the descendants of the hero Pokémon to fall into madness!

Now, use this lightning as the power to nurture the vitality of the earth!

“Lightning came out of the mirror?!”

Steven Stone was startled. Light Moss quickly explained: “This is the power of my friend! This is a move from another world!”

“It's incredibly powerful!” The thick lightning shocked Steven Stone's heart. He secretly thought that lightning of this power could never be used by ordinary Pokémon!

Could it be that this "friend" is actually a Legendary Pokémon?!

Well, if that's the case, it's normal!

“After all, he's a mysterious craftsman who forged a friendship with the Legendary Titans!”

The valley was recovering at a visible rate. The surface of the original pale, barren land was turning into powder. New soil spread from afar and merged together. The speed of this change was so fast that it could almost be called a miracle!

The sown seeds were growing rapidly, showing the appearance of different plants and crops. Light Moss then completed the last step, summoning Aegislash and the Unown, and used “Secret Power” and “Hidden Power” on the "model" of this valley!

So, this valley, which had been barren for a long time, was completely alive at this moment!

Heracross's request task had been completed, and he had obtained the precious Guardian Stone. Steven Stone planned to have Metagross take everyone back, but Light Moss said that this area had already changed.

The leylines were previously connected to the location of the Blackshard Temple!

“Look there! Isn't that the Blackshard Temple? Now, it's connected here!” Light Moss pointed to the valley entrance not far away. In the valley, he could vaguely see a temple building appearing over there!

Creating an incredible paradise can be done from now on!

At this time, a faint golden stream of light flashed on the Guardian Stone.

Far away, in front of the Blackshard Temple, Regirock and Registeel were still talking about something when suddenly the Steel Titan turned around and saw the entrance to a valley.

Huh? Was he “seeing” things?

The area around here should be forests and mossy ground. How could there be a valley entrance?

Haha, chatting has caused hallucinations!

In the Ruined World, Giratina was gloating over the good deed it had done, filled with joy. Wrathful Lightning was unleashed again after a hundred years, but it was to restore the ecology. Moreover, Giratina saw Light Moss moving the earth, which was really incredible.

【How did this guy's ability become like Regigigas's?】

Connecting different lands and worlds to each other is worthy of its contractor! It's really amazing!

The People of the Gap can really make things happen!

Giratina happily flew towards the apple orchard, thinking that since things were over there and the barren land had been restored to vitality, the same method could be used on the land of the Ruined World. Soon, its place would become lush and green!

Next, it just needed to ask the Legendary Titans to dig up the weather stones and let Light Moss run a few more times, and this world would get better soon!

Giratina stared at the apple tree. Due to the buffs of various items, the apple tree here had begun to bear fruit, but it still looked a bit green. Of course, this growth rate was too fast and was a bit strange, but Giratina was very happy.

It decided to take a bite first, even if it was sour, it didn't matter, it would still love to eat it. But just as it was about to bite the apple, the apple fell directly from the tree and rolled away!

Two eyes popped out on the apple, blinked, stared at Giratina, and made a strange noise.

Then, the same eyes popped out on many apple trees!

Giratina was stunned at first, then shocked!

Did these apples have pests?!
