Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Forging

A/N:3/6 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

Moreover, Uncle Tsukasa’s eye as a forging master was truly outstanding.

With just one glance, he could tell that the Fairy Alloy was the highest-quality piece among all the metals.

"With this metal and Hakamo-o’s dragon scales, I’m confident I can forge you a demon blade. Dragon Scale Maru!"

Julian hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, no. I want this alloy forged into a hammer."

Hearing that Julian wanted to forge a hammer, Uncle Tsukasa became even more excited.

One hand grabbed the Fairy Alloy, while the other patted Julian’s shoulder.

Under Uncle Tsukasa’s excitement, Julian felt that if not for Iron Bones, he really might not have been able to endure those pats.

Half his body would probably have gone numb.

"Good lad! Your body’s finally become sturdy enough, and now you’re finally willing to learn forging from me!"

Julian smiled.

"Uncle, I learned a forging hammer technique from an ancient text. Aside from forging excellent weapons, the greatest effect of this hammer technique is strengthening the body."

"Let me borrow your forging hammer and demonstrate it for you."

Uncle Tsukasa revealed a curious expression.

"Show me."

Julian grabbed a forging hammer, directly placed an unheated piece of metal on the anvil, and began demonstrating Tinkatuff’s hammer technique.

With a target to strike, after his qi circulated, the strengthening effect on his body became even greater.

Watching Julian’s movements, Uncle Tsukasa nodded repeatedly.

"Julian, this is indeed a decent forging hammer technique, but it should be an early hammer technique created by ancient humans after studying a Pokémon’s hammering method."

"Compared to humans, it’s actually more suitable for Pokémon to use. Human hammer techniques are usually gentler."

"After all, humans with talent like yours are only a minority. Also, you must have integrated the hammer techniques I once explained to you into the ancient text’s method, right?"

Julian nodded.

"The ancient hammer technique wasn’t complete, so I added your hammer technique into it."

Uncle Tsukasa smiled.

"Then today, I’ll demonstrate all of my hammer techniques for you. I’ll show you what human forging methods look like!"

Uncle Tsukasa moved all the metal blocks out of the boot.

Using a small hammer, he tapped each one in turn, identifying the metals’ properties from the sound.

Uncle Tsukasa pointed at Tinkatuff’s Fairy Alloy and the Duraludon Metal.

"These two metals are suitable for forging a war hammer, together with the body-strengthening hammer technique you mentioned."

"However, forging all the metal into a war hammer will make it very heavy..."

Uncle Tsukasa looked at Julian and did not continue.

Julian nodded.

"Use all of it. My strength will continue growing. Even if I can’t use the war hammer in battle, I can swing it for training first."

Uncle Tsukasa smiled.

"That’s the spirit."

He did not use the forging hammer in Julian’s hands.

Instead, Uncle Tsukasa returned inside the house and opened a box that had been sealed for a long time.

From within, he took out a pitch-black forging hammer.

"This is the forging hammer I used when I was young. I haven’t used it in a very long time."

This hammer felt like it could clash with Tinkaton’s war hammer.

"Uncle, how heavy is this hammer?"

Uncle Tsukasa smiled.

"It weighs 423 pounds! 5 foot long!"

The tone in Uncle Tsukasa’s voice made Julian feel as if he were looking at a peerless swordsman about to step onto the battlefield!

Uncle Tsukasa took out a Poké Ball and released a Charizard with fierce eyes.

"This is the partner I found in Charicific Valley in Johto back then, so I could smelt every metal in the world."

"Charizard, Flamethrower!"

As expected of a Charizard from Charicific Valley. In just two and a half minutes, the Fairy Alloy and Duraludon Metal were burned red-hot.

Uncle Tsukasa stacked the two metals together and began forging.

"Watch closely!"

Every hammer strike was filled with power and exquisite technique.

Julian believed that if he mastered Uncle Tsukasa’s forging skills...

The next time he simulated Tinkatuff, he would not need two and a half months at all.

He would only need forty nine days for Tinkatuff to evolve into Tinkaton!

Eye-opening!

Truly eye-opening!

So humans could unleash such force to forge metal even without machines.

Aside from being a forging master, Julian felt Uncle Tsukasa was also a weapon master.

Holding that forging hammer, he felt as if Uncle Tsukasa could send his Goodra flying.

After completing one round of forging, Uncle Tsukasa let out a long breath.

"How much did you remember?"

Julian pointed at his temple.

"It’s all in my head."

Uncle Tsukasa pointed at the forging station beside them and said, "There’s a place over there. Take that piece of steel and forge it into a straight sword. Use the hammer technique I just showed you."

"Alright."

By the time Julian finished forging the straight sword, Uncle Tsukasa had already completed two rounds of hammering. The Fairy Alloy and Duraludon Metal had basically fused together.

Looking at the straight sword Julian had forged, Uncle Tsukasa nodded.

"Not bad. You could sell this to a weapon collector."

Julian: "..."

Watching Charizard breathe fire again to heat the metal block, Julian asked curiously, "Uncle, how long will it take to forge this hammer of mine?"

Uncle Tsukasa calculated the time.

"Around twenty four days."

Julian widened his eyes.

"That long!"

Uncle Tsukasa smiled.

"That’s already very fast. The metals you brought are all extremely pure, saving a lot of preliminary processing time."

"Otherwise, for a weapon like this, forging time is measured in years."

Uncle Tsukasa waved his hand.

"Alright. Forge another sword."

...

Carrying a body full of fatigue and the smell of iron and fire, Julian returned to Veilstone Gym.

"Kai, pack your things. Tomorrow, we’re going to the flower garden south of the city."

Kai was very curious.

"Master, did you go to the blacksmith’s shop?"

Julian nodded.

"I went to try a new training method."

Kai became very excited.

"Master, can I try it too?"

Julian smiled.

"I’ll take you to meet Uncle Tsukasa another day. He’ll definitely like you."

With Kai’s personality of burning with youth, Uncle Tsukasa really would like him.

Julian had forged a full five weapons in the hardware shop before Uncle Tsukasa finally let him return.

He also told Julian to come again next week. Forging hammer techniques had to be practised continuously, or they would decline.

It was very tiring, but the effect on his body was indeed outstanding.

Kai nodded.

"I’ll work hard and perform well. I definitely won’t embarrass you, Master!"

Julian patted Kai.

"Tomorrow, you and Geodude will have a chance to perform."

Kai and Geodude were just right as opponents for the flower garden owner and the Combee.

Julian had also specially brought along his father’s Machoke, which had recently evolved.

Machoke knew how to control his strength, so he was suitable for helping beginners like Combee build confidence.

First, he would let Machoke help the Combee find the feeling of battle.

Then Kai and Geodude could go up.

Kai was rather stubborn and did not know how to hold back.

Even if the two Combee fought together, they would not be his match.

Julian seriously suspected that even after eating the food he made to raise their level, the Combee still would not be able to beat Geodude.
