[EVENT STARTED!! +200PS= +1 Chapter!!]

In the Unova region, within a villa in Undella Town, the bright sunlight slanted through the windows, illuminating the luxurious interior.

A young girl with long, cascading blonde hair was also keeping an eye on a certain shop while sending a message to her butler, Darach.

“The product’s effect is excellent. I feel like my control over psychic power has improved significantly.”

“No, the Snorlax sculpture itself doesn’t enhance my psychic abilities, but it calms my mind. Every time I look at it, my emotions and power gradually settle down, and my influence on the surrounding environment decreases.”

“Thank you, Darach.”

[“This is my duty as your butler, my lady. There is no need to thank me!”]

[“I specifically selected this for you to be of assistance. It’s wonderful that the sculpture has had such a beneficial effect!”]

Darach, on the other side of the Pokégear, sent a message back, relieved that the Snorlax sculpture was helping Caitlin.

[“So, my lady, how is your journey in Unova?”]

“Hmm, I’ve made some new friends recently, and one of them acknowledges my strength. Darach, don’t worry. The environment in Unova is wonderful. I’m staying in my villa right now, experiencing all kinds of Pokémon—Pokémon that can’t be found in other regions. It’s very interesting.”

[“It seems like you’re enjoying Unova. If you ever need anything, please let me know.”]

“I recently defeated a Trainer, and it seems they recommended me to the Unova Elite Four. They want me to take up the position as one of the new Elite Four members.”

[“Ehhhhh?!”]

Even through the Pokégear, Caitlin could vividly imagine her butler’s shocked expression. After all, she had only just arrived in Unova, yet she had already achieved such an impressive feat. Surely, Darach must be both surprised and proud.

Thinking of this, Caitlin couldn’t help but feel a small sense of pride.

Of course, the sculpture played a significant role in this process. That peacefully sleeping Snorlax, carrying an ancient aura, seemed to have been slumbering for centuries. Every time she looked at the sculpture, her mind would calm, and her control over her psychic powers would become more precise, ensuring that she wouldn’t inadvertently cause destruction.

Thus, even when she lost battles, she no longer flew into a rage.

Yes, battles always had wins and losses. She still needed more training.

With that thought, Caitlin sent another message to Darach:

“But I didn’t accept right away, because I don’t think my power is mature enough yet. I need to train further before making a decision.”

“Back when I was with you, I never realized how thrilling and enjoyable battles could be. I need to refine my control over my psychic abilities even more.”

“As for that useful sculpture, I really like it. I’ve been keeping an eye on the store you recommended. The owner seems to sell many interesting items. If I see something I like, I’ll send it to you, and I’d appreciate it if you could send it to me.”

“However, the shop doesn’t seem to sell many artistic pieces, which troubles me a little. Besides sculptures, they should also offer paintings, carpets, and other artistic decorations. That way, I could use these items to decorate my villa.”

“Well then, let’s talk next time, Darach.”

With a sigh of relief, Caitlin put down her Pokégear after seeing Darach’s response. At that moment, another voice spoke up in the room.

“Your butler really dotes on you! I wish I had such a thoughtful butler.”

The speaker, a short-haired woman clad in a black skirt and stockings, with exaggerated decorations on her upper body, looked at Caitlin with envy. She seemed to have been writing something, but now she stretched, accentuating her graceful curves.

Shauntal, one of the Unova Elite Four and a well-known novelist!

“He’s my butler. You can’t borrow him.” Caitlin answered seriously.

Shauntal waved her hands. “Alright, alright, I was just joking!”

“Speaking of which, your home’s decor is unbelievable. Even just looking at that sculpture calms my emotions—ahhh! This is bad! I can’t write anything in this state!”

Shauntal suddenly groaned in frustration, clutching her purple hair.

“As a novelist, I can’t write passionate, exciting scenes when I’m too calm! I need intense emotions to create climactic moments!”

“I originally came to your place to gather inspiration, but instead, my mind is now so peaceful that I can’t write a single word!”

Shauntal stared blankly at the Snorlax sculpture. The more she gazed at it, the sleepier she felt.

Caitlin had told her there was something beautiful in her home, which piqued her curiosity. However, instead of gaining inspiration, her mind had gone completely blank!

The sensation was strange and soothing, but for a novelist, it was a disaster!

She asked Caitlin whether the sculpture possessed some kind of psychic ability, but the answer she received was that the sculpture itself carried an inexplicable power. Truly mysterious!

“Then why not order a custom sculpture? Maybe there’s one that can excite emotions instead.”

Caitlin answered calmly while browsing the store’s product page on her Pokégear, carefully selecting an item.

Shauntal also began browsing. “.Actually, I once saw special talismans in the shop. The description said they were a Ghost-type Pokémon’s favorite item. I wanted to buy one, but they were already sold out.”

“Darn it! If only I had discovered this shop earlier!”

After Caitlin introduced her to the shop, Shauntal had been browsing its products, and her mind was suddenly flooded with inspiration. However, due to the Snorlax sculpture’s effects, those ideas quickly drifted away, making her forget everything!

“How does this Snorlax sculpture even make people ‘instantly forget’ things?!”

Shauntal felt utterly speechless. The fleeting inspirations disappeared, but when she continued browsing the shop, new ideas kept emerging.

It was a bittersweet struggle!

A mysterious workshop hidden in an unknown corner of the world, crafting unique items with special effects… What a perfect concept for the opening of a new novel!

However, Shauntal’s favorite theme was still about Trainers challenging the Elite Four.

The bonds between Trainers and their Pokémon—every person who lived alongside Pokémon had their own story. The tales of humans and Pokémon helping each other were far more compelling than stories featuring only humans or only Pokémon.

So… what kind of Pokémon would this mysterious craftsman have? What had they experienced in the past, and what awaited them in the future?

Deep in thought, Shauntal continued browsing the store’s sculpture section.

“A Chandelure sculpture seems like a good choice, but I don’t know what effect it would have…”

She pondered for a moment before sending a message.

“Can the effects of a Pokémon sculpture be customized?”

She stared at the shop’s reply screen and soon received a message from Hikaru.

[“Each Pokémon sculpture has a unique effect. But truthfully, even I don’t know what an unknown Pokémon’s effect will be. This mystery is part of the product’s appeal.”]

“Hmm, so the effect is unpredictable. But a Chandelure’s effect will definitely be different from Snorlax’s.”

Without thinking too much, Shauntal decided to place an order!

A vintage aesthetic—the shop’s antique craftsmanship would pair well with her Chandelure. After all, Chandelure’s design itself was inspired by an old-fashioned chandelier!

Whenever she looked at Chandelure, inspiration flowed endlessly. Every night, it illuminated her books with its eerie ghostly flames, creating the perfect ambiance for writing.

“By the way, the shop sells mystical cloth. Has the owner considered making mystical paper?”

Shauntal suddenly had an idea.

[“Oh, thank you for the suggestion. That’s an interesting concept! If I create a mystical notebook, I’ll add it to the shop and notify you.”]

“Great! Also, could you save a few extra talismans for me next time? Just a few, in secret. Please!”

[“No problem. I’ll include some extra talismans when your sculpture ships!”]

Caitlin also opened the chat window at that moment, but she was inquiring about something else.

“Have you considered creating unique new art pieces? Like carpets, wallpapers, scroll paintings, or tea sets? I saw an item called a glass whistle, and its design looks great. But if there were glass products with Psychic-type attributes, that would be even better.”

“Last time, I bought a vintage-style Snorlax sculpture from your shop, a gift from my butler. It has been incredibly effective.”

[“Your suggestions are quite interesting! I’ll definitely consider them. Thank you for your purchase and support.”]

Caitlin smiled, feeling much more pleased.

It seemed that in the future, she would be able to purchase more of her ideal artistic products from this shop. As for the craftsmanship of the shop owner, Caitlin had no doubts at all.

Just the vintage aesthetic showcased in the Snorlax sculpture—no, rather, it was a relic-like style—was already incredibly unique, carrying a beauty that felt as if it came from ancient times.

She wanted more, much more, to decorate her villa. There was still plenty of space left to place these exquisite pieces!
