A Brand New Ball!

Chapter 25 A Brand New Ball!

The forging process was already halfway through. Zhu Suihan glanced at the few materials left beside him and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Another one-time success?

This is somewhat terrifying.

Oh, it happened to me? Oh, that's alright then.

Such emotions were fleeting, and Zhu Suihan continued to immerse himself in the process of typing, ensuring that no step went wrong.

The new home prepared for Chenglong must be arranged properly!

He tied his hair up tightly and tucked it inside his clothes to make sure he wouldn't become Captain Flamehead. Finally, he sprinkled a small bottle of powder evenly onto the bright red fruit and began the final round of fusion forging.

laugh--

Puffs of smoke drifted out of the cones, and you could vaguely see the shimmering powder on the cones, like stars in the sky.

"This is the last step. I hope this machine won't let me down."

The fruit was fed into the machine for the final step. Zhu Suihan took a breath and picked up the large bottle of drinking water next to her to gulp down some water.

What are you doing?

Zhu Suihan almost spat out his water: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"With the forging noise so loud, do you think I could sleep?"

Abi asked curiously, "Have you found a Pokémon you like and want to catch it as a partner?"

"No, I'm preparing a new home for Chenglong."

Zhu Suihan said, "I hope your machines can work properly, otherwise my forging process will be perfect."

"Hey, don't blame my gym's machines for your bad skills."

After listening to Zhu Suihan's explanation, Abi was genuinely surprised. He felt that this project was quite interesting, which rekindled his desire to study it.

But if this continues, the person will really die.

"Why did you think of adding resources with various attributes? This shouldn't fit the forging scheme for the Tree Berry Ball."

Zhu Suihan shook his head: "Essentially, it's still a Sweet Ball, just a high-end, customized upgraded version."

The GS ball doesn't fit the berry forging scheme, and Zhu Suihan doesn't think his skills and resources are up to that level, but the existence of the GS ball is actually a hint.

There is still a lot of room for development in the fruit ball, which could have similar functions to those produced by Devon Corporation.

If it works, there's a kind of fun in building structures in a pixelated world according to your own preferences.

Of course, how well it turns out depends entirely on your skill level; for the average person, it's better to just use a template and pile up the materials.

This refers to using Poké Balls manufactured by the company directly.

To give an example, following Zhu Suihan's forging philosophy, if you were to put an Electric-type Pokémon in a Poké Ball made entirely of Ground-type resources, what's the difference between that and being imprisoned?

An insulating ball, right?

"alright."

Zhu Suihan raised an eyebrow and nervously took the pink fruit out of the machine. Abi also peeked over and was somewhat lost in thought.

The original color of the pink fruit has disappeared, probably because it was suppressed by the various resources added by Zhu Suihan.

The lower half features a deep matte black and deep sea blue, while the upper half is sky blue with bright ice blue shimmers, resembling stars in the sky.

Abi: ?

"You should consider this a work of art. The whole sphere looks like a miniature of the ocean, but none of the oceans have stars twinkling in the upper layer."

Is it possible that the upper and lower halves of the body are both sea?

Zhu Suihan is very happy now because he doesn't have to bother to determine whether the Poké Ball was successfully made.

[New ball type detected. Research points increased. Please name the ball.]

[Research Points: 60]

I wonder if continuing to make different Poké Balls will yield similar results, or if I can find a loophole or something.

Abi, eager to try, asked, "Suihan, shall I put it in the machine to check its completion status?"

"No, I'll do it."

Zhu Suihan quickly placed the Poké Ball into the testing machine for another test, as a double precaution.

As soon as the green light came on, Lapras eagerly nudged Bamboo Cold's back with its head, not minding at all that the trainer was sweaty.

A new home, Longlong's new home!

"It worked in one go."

Zhu Suihan's self-talk greatly stimulated Abi, who had spent a lot of time last night solving some difficult problems!

Zhu Suihan picked up a Poké Ball: "Come on, Lapras, let's see what we've got!"

"Wait!"

Abi grabbed Zhu Suihan's wrist: "Before that, shouldn't the standard procedure be to first unbind the Poké Ball from Lapras?!"

Oh, it seems that's actually the case.

There's also the option of releasing Pokémon from Poké Balls, and one of the most classic scenes is probably when Shinji released his senior brother.

Although, in terms of visual presentation, there really isn't much difference.

After the procedure was completed, Zhu Suihan gently touched Lapras's head with a Poké Ball. After a flash of light similar in color to the Poké Ball, it fell completely silent.

Subjugation without any resistance can also be seen as a version of "critical hit".

"Come forth, dragon."

“Wuwu!”

Chenglong excitedly recounted his experiences to Zhu Suihan, which could be summarized in one sentence.

good, very good!

It's like the bed is perfectly soft, the air conditioner and blankets are the best fit for me, and even the entire "room" environment is flawless.

The exclusive "Luxury Ball" for Chenglong!

Abi said with some envy, "Suihan, you developed this Poké Ball yourself, right? What about the naming?"

"Naming it"

Zhu Suihan looked at the Poké Ball in his hand, then glanced at the energetic Lapras, and couldn't help but smile.

"The name of the ball species - Pluto ball."

[Entry Successful]

Pokémon Center, video phone area —

"I never expected you could do this."

At the Kaji Gym, Uncle Liu looked at the Poké Ball in Zhu Suihan's hand and the obvious joy on Lapras's face, a happy smile on his aged face.

"If Xuecheng finds out, he'll probably fly all the way from Zhenxin Town to find you again."

Strictly speaking, this is a Lapras Poké Ball, and even though the finished product is somewhat similar to a "scientific research result," it cannot be taken out casually.

If Professor Oak really wants to investigate, he either needs to fly to Pallet Town right now, or he'll have to do it all over again.

Zhu Suihan was somewhat puzzled: "Hmm, Professor Oak shouldn't be interested in something that doesn't have much universality."

To be honest, if it weren't for his good luck, Zhu Suihan didn't think he could have made the Beiming Ball on his first try.

What difference does it make to other people if they make it?

At most, it only increases the probability of catching a Lapras, and the Dive Ball can already meet that requirement.

It's a bit pricey, but aside from the unique characteristics of Alola and subsequent generations, Lapras is still a very popular Pokémon, and the investment in Dive Balls is definitely worthwhile.

Uncle Liu patted the little wild boar's head and explained the difference to Zhu Suihan.

"Hmph, universal things, that guy Yukinari has already figured them out. That's the point of the Pokédex. If a trainer encounters a rare Pokémon, or even a legendary Pokémon, the recorded data is a precious treasure."

Bamboo understands the cold of winter.

Don't worry, Professor Oak, in the future, the tools that can expand your Pokédex data won't just be Cuihua and Red, but also Ash, the legendary Pokémon expert.

Putting everything else aside, if the main characters of the special episode, plus Ash, only encountered legendary and mythical Pokémon once, it can only be said that they hid very well.

"By the way, your admission certificate will be ready soon. Counting the time to report to the college, you have less than a month left."

Uncle Liu said, "The admission notice will be sent directly to Gangtie's home. You don't need to worry about anything else. Or rather, you should focus on whether you can use maps proficiently."

Uncle Liu hadn't forgotten Zhu Suihan's status as an antique popsicle brand. Without a map, he probably would have had to hire a hiker as a guide.

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, this is no problem."

Zhu Suihan tossed the Northern Darkness Ball in his hand: "How's the construction of your dojo going?"

Uncle Liu smiled and said, "I've already moved it out from underground. It's just a matter of dismantling some facilities. With enough manpower and resources, it's quite simple."

Just kidding. The League is practically ecstatic to hear that Liu Bo isn't going to open a gym in that kind of dark place and is planning to make Kaji Town his proper base, developing it with the powerful Ice Gym as his core competitive advantage.

As for awards and the like, Uncle Liu certainly wouldn't care, but the league didn't hesitate to send two standard teams to help.

Putting everything else aside, once the crane is installed, it doesn't even need to be electric; the three regular, incredibly strong men can take turns pulling up all sorts of odds and ends.

When it comes to moving facilities or even infrastructure, the Pokémon League, with its large Pokémon teams, is undoubtedly among the best in the industry.

"Okay, please take care and get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Chenglong nuzzled Zhu Suihan's hair, eager to go to the place where they had their water fight and show Zhu Suihan his improved strength.

"You want to show off your strength? I think you just want to treat me to a deluxe water fight while your strength has increased."

"Ugh!"

Longlong absolutely refuses to admit it!

I have less than a month left and I'm starting to feel like fishing, what should I do?

Zhu Suihan wanted to see if any other villainous kids would come and get themselves killed. If so, Heracross and the others would pass on the information to him.

It's a good opportunity to test what level of strength Chenglong is now, and it will save us from being caught off guard if something happens on the way to the academy.

Knowing your strength in advance allows you to assess Pokémon you encounter in the wild, preventing a significant power gap that could lead to you being easily overwhelmed by a wild, powerful Pokémon.

Although trainers can warm up and participate, Zhu Suihan doesn't really like things that are out of his control.

"Tsk, I forgot to ask Professor Oak for a Pokédex. That thing should be able to detect a Pokémon's strength level."

Lapras's strength, at least judging from its ability to annihilate a minor boss, is definitely not bad, even considering the fact that Bamboo is uncivilized and the opponent is four times weak to Water.

At the very least, it has to be a top-four finish in a regional tournament.

During this time, Zhu Suihan wanted to visit the Well of the Dumb Beast.
