When they heard about Pokémon Monster Magic involving cooking various parts of Pokémon into a soup or using them,
the people around wrinkled their foreheads in a nauseated expression.
Baimu twitched the corner of his mouth, deeply feeling that the mage was an honest young girl. Who would also describe the raw materials when explaining potions?
As a result, the crowd quickly lost interest in the potion.
They wanted the magician to perform some magic.
[You loudly refute those onlookers, insisting Pokémon Monster Magic is not just tricks but a power that can create miracles, but no one is willing to listen to your explanation]
[You angrily pack up and leave]
"Didn't even make money explaining that?"
Baimu was a bit surprised.
He initially thought the mage might be money-minded enough to pretend being a magician to sell potions, but now it seems magic is sacred and inviolable to her.
Leaving Yuanzhu City, a place full of sadness.
Following this, the mage wandered into a lush wilderness.
[You arrived at the Natural Park, rumored to be teeming with many Insect-type Pokémon. Excitedly, you rushed in with Misdreavus and Murkrow]
Another scene of "bloody storm."
Baimu feels the mage might win the award for the most disliked by wild Pokémon, but interestingly her skill in making potions is becoming more refined.
[Seeing the increasing success rate of the Swiftstep Potion, you know you'll soon shed the title of Magic Apprentice]
Hmm?
Talent can level up, huh?
When he saw this piece of narration, he paused for a moment, then realized the mage's progression from the Magic Apprentice stage might happen after the Alliance Conference.
In the Natural Park.
Apart from wild Pokémon that were taken for venom, scale powder, body fluids, and technique use, the mage was very fortunate to find a third companion—
While brewing a potion, she accidentally misplaced her stopwatch, so she grabbed a Hoothoot from a nearby tree to time for her.
Later, she found the Hoothoot was quite useful and decided to keep it.
[You captured the Hoothoot, increasing the timers for potion-making]
"Another utility mon."
Baimu shook his head and sighed.
After sweeping through the Natural Park, the mage didn't move directly onward to Manjin City but continued westward, reaching Asakusa City after several days of making do with minimal provisions.
[You rush to the dock, enthusiastically peddling 'Underwater Breathing' potions to the sailors]
Underwater Breathing Potion...
Is Pokémon Monster Magic a bit too versatile?
Baimu watched as the mage once again faced closed doors, both curious about how many kinds of magic potions there are and speechless at her sales skills.
The recipients were also questionable! Selling 'Underwater Breathing' potions to skilled sailors?
Are you cursing them to drown?
In any case,
The mage, having failed to open a shop, angrily went to challenge the Gym.
[You begin challenging the Asakusa Gym]
Asakusa Gym, huh...
Not long ago, Baimu exchanged words with the current Gym Leader Ami of Asakusa Gym, which doesn't seem to be passed down through generations.
Sure enough.
The Gym Leader the mage encountered specializes in using Water-type Pokémon and is male.
His strength is quite formidable, managing to hold his own against three Pokémon jacked up on potions, even with restricted Pokémon power.
Unfortunately, the juiced-up strategy is too powerful, and the strength offered by just the third badge Gym can't compare to it.
[You defeated the Asakusa Gym Leader and earned the Asakusa Badge]
