At night.
Various potions were placed on Aiven's desk.
"Flower Dew Potion for training sleep powder," Aiven muttered, placing ingredients into a grinding vessel.
The Petilil beside him mimicked his actions, placing the same ingredients into a grinding vessel in front of it.
At some point, the little one had started to enjoy making potions, so Aiven began teaching it. A Petilil that could make potions sounded quite interesting.
However, he wasn't too surprised by this. Spirits could inherently help humans with many tasks, even cooking and housework were not out of the question.
For a time, Petilils that could do housework were very popular. Aiven had hired one to help him with his chores.
"At the current temperature, the concentration of the Flower Dew Potion should be controlled between 10-20mg/L," Aiven continued to instruct the Petilil.
Under Aiven's guidance, the Petilil quickly concocted a bottle of pale blue liquid, its eyes widening with joy.
"Alright, you're done. Making potions isn't that difficult after all."
Aiven smiled. Because Grass-type spirits had a strong sensitivity to various medicinal herbs, making potions with their help could yield twice the results with half the effort.
Hearing his words, the Petilil nodded vigorously, then immediately and excitedly began preparing a second batch of Flower Dew Potion.
Seeing the little one's enthusiasm, Aiven decided to hand over the potion-making task to it.
Initially, he still needed to guide it, but gradually, the now-familiar Petilil could make potions on its own.
Nodding in satisfaction, Aiven shifted his gaze to the Oran Berry beside him, a sense of anticipation welling up in his heart.
If he could truly create Poké Balls, it would undoubtedly be a groundbreaking achievement, forever etched in history!
The thought of a groundbreaking achievement and being recorded in history made even Aiven's breathing quicken. In his past life, this had been the lifelong dream of all Pokémon breeders and researchers.
"Let me think, the method for making an Oran Berry Ball," Aiven took a deep breath, recalling the manufacturing method for Oran Berry Balls in his mind.
When he took the elective course on Special Oran Berry Balls, the teacher had explained the principles and methods of making them in great detail. To earn credits for that elective, students had to create an Oran Berry Ball.
He clearly remembered the process of making an Oran Berry Ball.
1. High-temperature tempering.
This step could activate the special energy contained within the Oran Berry manufacturing process, which could weaken a Pokémon's strength.
When a Poké Ball released or recalled a Pokémon, it was accompanied by a flash of light. This was the special energy from the Oran Berry manufacturing process, the key to making Poké Balls.
The reason Poké Balls could store Pokémon was not because they possessed spatial abilities, but because the Pokémon were shrunk.
2. Oran Berry forging.
After the Oran Berry reached a certain temperature, it would be subjected to special hammering and forging.
This step would create a special capsule structure inside the Oran Berry capable of containing a Pokémon. Poké Balls themselves were a special capsule design.
3. Cut the Oran Berry and insert a special net-like device.
The principle behind a Poké Ball's ability to capture and restrain Pokémon was this special net-like device.
According to the teacher, there was a "net" inside the Poké Ball that could restrain a Pokémon when it was being drawn into the ball.
If the Pokémon had sufficient stamina at this point, it could break free from this "net" and escape the Poké Ball; otherwise, it would be caught by the "net" and subdued.
The manufacturing method for the legendary Master Ball was to create a "net" that could not be broken, thus achieving a 100% capture rate.
Furthermore, depending on the materials used to forge this "net," other effects could be produced. Modern Poké Balls generally had the effect of limiting a Pokémon's strength and taming them to obey the Trainer's commands.
4. Install the Poké Ball's switch and other components.
At this stage, the basic form of an Oran Berry Ball emerged, possessing the most fundamental functions of an Oran Berry Ball.
5. Re-subject to high-temperature forging.
Through tempering and forging, the structure of the Oran Berry could be completely stabilized, thus completing a fully functional Oran Berry Ball.
"Phew, it felt simple back then, but that was because of modern machinery."
"After recalling the Oran Berry Ball manufacturing method and considering the current conditions, it's still a bit troublesome."
After recalling the manufacturing method for Oran Berry Balls, Aiven couldn't help but let out a sigh, feeling that he needed a lot of preparation to make them.
For the high-temperature tempering, he first needed a forging furnace. Ordinary flames couldn't reach the required temperature for tempering Oran Berries.
In addition, he needed to build a blacksmith shop. Forging Oran Berries was not as simple as just hitting them with a hammer.
Moreover, in his previous life, there were machines to assist in forging Oran Berries. He only needed to operate the machines and strike them in a specific way. But now, it seemed he could only swing a hammer with his bare hands.
Looking at his slender physique, Aiven raised an eyebrow, feeling that this was a very difficult task. Did he have to train his body first just to be able to swing a hammer?
Perhaps he could let his Pokémon replace the machines. Aiven's thoughts wandered. He looked at the Petilil and shook his head, then thought of the Ironclad Rhinoceros and shook his head again. Or perhaps he could wait until the Ironclad Rhinoceros evolved into a Tyrantrum?
As for the third step, inserting the special net-like device into the Poké Ball.
He felt that the materials used for crafting Beast Gear might be a good choice.
Both involved restraining and controlling Pokémon, and there were many similarities between the two.
As long as he followed the method for crafting Beast Gear, he could forge the Beast Gear into a special net-like device.
Aiven thought of the Beast Gear on the Ironclad Rhinoceros. If he were to craft the special net-like device, the materials from one set of Beast Gear could be used to create numerous special net-like devices.
However, before that, he still needed to obtain the method for forging Beast Gear. This Beast Gear was extremely durable and could even withstand Pokémon attacks, so its forging method must be different from ordinary forging methods.
