Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Kotake rolled up his sleeves, ready to work harder!

Harvesting medicinal herbs requires processing them into traditional Chinese medicine. This way, the TCM craftsmanship can also allow him to acquire new materials.

Regarding the sapling cultivation, Kotake first chose a hillside to plant the saplings. After the initial planting was completed, Celebi patted her chest, indicating that everything was entrusted to her and there were no problems!

This oak sapling was planted on a hillside not far from the workshop. Celebi used her abilities to make the sapling grow at an incredible speed, gradually experiencing growth, getting taller, and becoming thicker. Soon, a towering tree rose from the ground!

Kotake also watched this incredible scene, and Celebi flew over, looking happy, with a "Praise me" expression!

"You are really amazing!"

Kotake naturally didn't skimp on praise: "Such a big tree is enough for me to burn unique charcoal."

"Moreover, I can use the trees in the oak forest to carve more powerful wood carvings!"

Moreover, where there is one, there will be two. Although a single tree does not make a forest, who says Celebi can't bring a second oak sapling?

"Perhaps after I get various unique saplings, planting them in various locations near the workshop can form a unique panorama forest landscape... Strange trees from different regions, representing different abilities and having different characteristics, are planted in the same place."

Just thinking about this scenario makes Kotake feel a little excited.

However, transplanting some unique tree species to other regions may cause foreign invasion at the tree level and affect the local ecological balance. Therefore, even if planting, not too many can be transplanted, but..." Kotake looked at the distant, deep, and vast Shin'ou Forest.

Does this boundless and huge forest really care about the invasion of foreign trees? The number of towering trees in the Shin'ou Forest is simply incalculable!

Foreign tree species are probably swallowed up not long after they invade.

Moreover, the Sandshrew will also gnaw on the roots of the trees. They don't seem to have any dietary restrictions on trees, which is also a kind of ecological prevention.

After the cultivation was completed, Kotake had Doublade chop and collect the branches of the giant oak tree, and organized the firewood, while also having Lilligant go with him to make Chinese medicine.

Celebi looked at Doublade, who was wielding the sword, chopping trees, and practicing "cancel combo", and felt very amazing, exclaiming. But she didn't quite understand the superb swordsmanship, so she quickly ran to the front of the workshop.

Celebi flew lightly in the air, curiously watching Kotake make Chinese medicine.

Lilligant shook the leaves on her head. Kotake picked one of them and started drying it with other herbs he had obtained before.

"Use Sunny Day."

Kotake ordered. Lilligant shook her head. The leaves on her head would grow back immediately even if they were picked, but this was only when her stamina was sufficient.

"Lilli! o☆"

Lilligant used "Sunny Day"!

Strong sunlight shone on the medicinal materials. This is the most traditional "sun-drying method", which directly irradiates the medicinal parts with the energy of sunlight to transfer the water out of the medicinal materials and make them dry.

However, this method is not suitable for all medicinal materials. For some fruit-like medicinal materials, the "drying method" must be used. And some medicinal materials cannot be exposed to the sun, otherwise, the medicinal value will be reduced. This part needs to be dried in the shade.

Heat is provided by using fire pits, fire walls, or directly burning crop stalks, branches, firewood, etc., depending on local conditions to achieve rapid drying. For juicy fruit medicinal materials, a temperature of 70-90℃ can be used for rapid drying to avoid the destruction of nutrients in the fruit.

Kotake vaguely remembered that more advanced Chinese medicine could add spores to prepare various medicinal properties, that is, Pokémon who can learn "Mushroom Spore" can play a great role in the production of Chinese medicine. And some materials on Pokémon, such as Croagunk's poison and Seadra's spikes, can be used as medicine.

He could try it in the future.

Celebi just looked left at the drying herbs and right at Doublade's double-speed tree chopping. Time passed quickly. In about an hour and a half, Kotake's herbs were basically dried. With the help of Pokémon, the speed was very fast.

"The first batch of medicinal materials has been dried. Let's start grinding now!"

Kotake moved the dried medicinal materials into the workshop's alchemy room, prepared the grinding tools, and began to process the medicinal materials.

Soon, "Chinese medicine" was manufactured.

『Completed a craft production!』

『Obtained: Unique good Chinese medicine!』

『Description and effect: After your unique processing, it can greatly restore the Pokémon's life, but the taste becomes more bitter, and the Pokémon's friendship will decrease. However, if Pokémon who like bitter tastes take it, it will not only not reduce its intimacy, but will also increase its intimacy.』

『Obtained knowledge: 1』

『Drug adaptability: If you take the medicinal materials or Chinese medicine with the corresponding tree fruit juice, there will be different tastes, and you can improve the friendship with Pokémon and strengthen the Pokémon's vitality.』

Kotake: "Oh, in this case, there is no need to worry about Chinese medicine reducing friendship... Chinese medicine juice? This kind of thing sounds a bit unappetizing. Is this really delicious?"

Following closely is Lilligant's craftsmanship reward.

『Lilligant helped you complete a job and gained experience and growth.』

『Obtained knowledge: Herbal medicine cultivation - Herbal medicine cultivation efficiency +5%.』

『Learned the move: Grassy Glide.』

"Lilli?"

Lilligant noticed her own changes. She spun around on the ground and then slid out all of a sudden!

Grassy Glide!

A burst of green grass-type energy emerged from the place where she slid, as if forming a lawn, but because this room was not big, Lilligant crashed into the wall all at once, making her dizzy. Celebi quickly flew down and helped her up with a smile.

"Be careful when using new moves!" Kotake shook his head.

After that, there were new random material clues.

Clue:

【Material: Soft Sand.】

【Acquisition location: Rock Mountain Ruins, Blackthorn City, Deep in the cave, Natural sand dunes, Lake of Rage, Cianwood Beach.】

【Corresponding technology: Unique glass firing technology.】

Oh, it's soft sand that can increase the power of ground attributes!

"Glass firing, it seems that the forging room can be frequently activated in the future. I heard that glass art sells very well in the Kanto region."

Kotake took out the juicer from the cabinet. The juicer looked like a Seadra.

Put the harvested tree fruit into it and mash it into juice, then pour some of the freshly ground Chinese medicine into the cup, and select the ingredients according to the knowledge in your mind. Soon, four servings of juice were made.

"Okay, would you like to try it?"

Doublade had also returned. Kotake placed the juice in front of the three Pokémon, and also picked up a copy himself:

"I didn't use tree fruit with a bitter taste to make juice, don't worry."

Oran Berry + Good Chinese Medicine (Heal Herb).

चेरी Berry + Good Chinese Medicine (Energy Root).

Leppa Berry + Good Chinese Medicine (Royal Herb).

"Lilli!"

Lilligant was the first to walk towards the juice, but her way of "taking medicine" was to directly stretch the leaves on her head into the cup. Soon the चेरी juice was absorbed, and Lilligant immediately showed a happy expression!

"Lilli~ Wow wow!"

Delicious!

" चेरी berries are tree fruit with a slightly spicy taste. The added Chinese medicine ingredient contains energy roots, which can relieve an abnormal condition after drinking."

After seeing Lilligant drinking happily, Celebi also imitated it, but she just drank water normally.

"Cele!"

Sure enough, Celebi also showed a surprised expression. She drank the cup of "Oran Berry + Good Chinese Medicine (Heal Herb)"!

"Oran berries are a mixture of various flavors. Adding healing herbs can restore Pokémon's life to a greater extent."

The last cup was prepared for Doublade, but this guy looked a little scary when drinking water. Two red ribbons touched the wall of the cup and were still fighting for it, and then the water inside was gradually absorbed by ghost energy!

"Yopu! Youwu!" Doublade's two eyes also widened.

The taste is really good!

"Of course, this is made with Royal Herb, which is known as the king of herbs. It can reduce Pokémon's fatigue and increase the upper limit of move usage."

Kotake also drank the fourth cup of Chinese medicine juice, which was a juice made from Wiki Berry + Revival Herb + Pecha Berry + Good Chinese Medicine (Royal Herb). The taste was quite magical. It seemed to have astringent, sweet, bitter, and sour tastes, mixed into a mysterious juice, and the effect... was to fully restore the HP of one fainted Pokémon and strengthen the eater's vitality!

Kotake felt that his fatigue gradually disappeared, and a strong vitality began to pour into his body!

Speaking of which, if he mastered the real "Tree Fruit Juice Blending Technology", if there was such a technology... could he make "Nutritional Drinks"?

Nutritional drinks, that is, various "enhancers"!

The three Pokémon exchanged each other's juices, and then they all stared at the last copy in Kotake's hand. They all surrounded Kotake, Celebi sat on Kotake's lap, Doublade floated behind, Lilligant stood on the left shoulder, constantly making requests!

"Okay, okay, I'll make some more!"

Kotake was helpless, the juice in his hand was taken away by Celebi, Lilligant and Doublade were also tasting it, and the three little ones soon made comfortable and satisfied sounds.

Kotake got up, took out his notebook, and wrote down the records.

『Celebi, a Pokémon from the Shin'ou Forest.』

『Characteristic: Natural Cure.』

『Bold personality.』

『Met in front of the abandoned workshop's house.』

『Does not like spicy taste.』

『Strong curiosity.』

And in this hut, in an unnoticed corner, behind the old-fashioned pendulum clock.

The E-shaped Unown looked enviously at the interacting Pokémon and Kotake.

He is also a member of this family, and this was originally his residence!

The last time he screwed things up, he didn't dare to show up until now. The guys below look so happy... so envious!

He, he must choose a time to show up!

Unown E couldn't stand this happy atmosphere. He only felt that the joys and sorrows between Pokémon and Pokémon were not connected. He penetrated out of the house through telekinesis!
