The spirit of me is kind

Mr. Steel's refusal was within Xiao Zi's expectation. After all, the existence of this kind of elf ball that specializes in capturing time is quite unnatural. If Celebi is captured, no one can solve the series of problems that will follow. Can bear it.

Since the GS ball is hopeless, Xiao Zi does not force it.

After all, his main purpose here is to tell Mr. Steel that the secret of GS Ball is no longer a secret, and to ask him to carefully prepare the formula.

After filling another bucket of water, Mr. Steel looked at Xiao Zi, and then said to him: "Come with me. I also want to make a Poké Ball. You can come and take a look together."

Xiao Zi nodded, and then followed Mr. Steel back to his residence.

Mr. Steel's granddaughter was not at home, probably out to play. Mr. Steel poured the water from the bucket into a water tank and started to get busy.

A small duck-billed fire dragon began to spit fire into the furnace, ignited the coal and began to continuously heat it. Mr. Steel held a bellows in his hand and began to blow air to help the fire rise.

Stretching out his other hand to feel the temperature of the flame, Mr. Steel nodded, and then threw a small piece of iron into it.

Pulling the bellows hard to accelerate the melting of the iron ore, Mr. Steel let the little duck-billed fire dragon take over his work, then used tongs to clamp a processed black tangerine fruit and began to place it above the stove for roasting.

The tongues of fire quickly licked the tangerine fruit along with the wind from the bellows. The fruit gradually began to dry up, and wisps of water vapor began to evaporate from the fruit.

Mr. Steel looked at the tangerine fruits intently. With many years of experience, he turned the tangerine fruits regularly to ensure that they would not be completely burned by the flames.

Xiao Zi watched with gusto, while silently remembering the production process.

When Mr. Steel made the elf ball, he didn't mean to hide it at all. Instead, he showed it openly in front of Xiao Zi.

Xiao Zi looked at Mr. Steel's gray hair and understood his intention in doing so.

As he gets older, he is not as energetic as he was when he was young.

But no one can succeed in this skill of making Poké Balls.

His daughter married into a wife and had no intention of taking over his legacy.

My granddaughter is too young to study.

So on the surface, Mr. Steel is open to trainers who come to ask for Poké Balls from him, but in fact, deep down, he hopes to use this to select a disciple who is interested in forging and can pass on his skills.

Xiao Zi was thinking a lot, but on Mr. Steel's side, the originally plump black tangerine fruit had completely shriveled up.

Mr. Steel clamped the fruit and slammed it on a shelf of the stove. The originally shriveled shell fell off instantly and fell directly into the stove along the loophole in the shelf, turning into fuel for the flames.

And now the tangerine fruit on the shelf has turned into a round sphere!

From Xiao Zi's perspective, the entire sphere is very smooth without much deformation. It is simply the most perfect ball!

"Well, those special balls on the market are all machine-processed. How can we achieve this step? Spheres of different sizes can only reach this step by filling them with metal. With those parts, the original capture The rate dropped by more than %."

Mr. Steel sighed, then placed the sphere on the shelf and heated it evenly. He picked up the iron block with an iron clamp and placed it on the platform. With his other hand, he picked up the sledgehammer placed aside. Knocked hard.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Knocks hit the iron block one after another. With the knocks, the iron block was also rapidly changing its shape.

Xiao Zi's gaze skipped over Mr. Steel and looked at the hammer beside the stove that had fallen a layer of dust.

Compared with the one in Mr. Steel's hand, the hammer next to the stove is three or four times bigger!

Xiao Zi walked over and blew the dust away.

The dust dispersed, revealing the polished handle of the hammer.

"It looks like he can no longer swing the hammer."

Xiao Zi picked up the hammer, which was quite heavy, but compared to Xiao Zi's physical strength, the weight was just right.

"Ding! Bah!"

Mr. Steel dropped his hammer one last time and then sent it into the water.

The water vapor evaporated, and after Mr. Steel picked it up, a weird-looking half-open sphere was completed.

"..."

Xiao Zi was stunned. She seemed to have missed million by being distracted!

It was as if he was talking about elementary topics like one plus one equals two a moment ago, and when he was distracted, it had already turned into advanced mathematics calculus!

Then when you want to remember, you erase the blackboard and collapse instantly...

Put the beaten spherical shell on the fire for a moment, and then you will hear a snap. The fragile connection points of the spherical shell are broken in succession, and the two hemispherical shells are completed!

After cooling it in water, place it on a rack to heat, and then retrieve the tangerine spheres.

After finding an iron awl and a small hammer, Mr. Steel carefully observed the surface of the sphere, then placed the iron awl on the sphere and tapped it lightly with the small hammer.

"Bah."

The sphere split open and divided into two very symmetrical hemispheres!

Now that this side is separated, Mr. Steel puts on his heat-insulating gloves, takes off the outer casing, puts it on the hemisphere, and then lifts a small hammer and taps it gently.

After a while, the metal surface was firmly embedded on the sphere, and Mr. Steel also sent it into the water for cooling.

After cooling, take it out, clamp the hemisphere with two tongs, and put it into the fire for roasting. The tangerine sphere soon softens and wraps the metal more tightly.

After cooling again, the sphere is completed.

Mr. Steel then took out the necessary accessories for making the elf ball, including the catching net, the ball switch, and some other bits and pieces of machinery, and began to assemble it.

After starting to assemble, Xiao Zi looked at it very carefully. He remembered every mechanical position, the way the catching net was woven, and the position of the switch.

After the assembly was completed, Xiao Zi looked at the familiar sphere and couldn't help but said: "This is the heavy ball."

"Yes, and it is more than half as powerful as the heavy balls available on the market. If it hits the [life energy] gathering point, it can basically be captured without any damage."

Mr. Steel said proudly, then threw the heavy ball to Xiao Zi and said, "Want to try?"

"Try?"

Xiao Zi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "There are no elves that I want to conquer yet. I just want to replace the elf balls for my own elves."

"That's not what I said."

Mr. Steel smiled slightly and said: "Want to try forging Poke Balls? If you come to me to forge Poke Balls, you should not just ask for a few Poke Balls."

Xiao Zi was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Is it so obvious? I thought I disguised it well."

"Hmph, it's impossible to escape my fiery eyes!"

Mr. Steel said proudly: "When I was forging, you kept trying to remember it, and then you were attracted by the hammer I used. Obviously, you wanted to try to forge the elf ball yourself."

"Hooked."

Xiao Zi thought silently in her heart, and then pretended to be interested and said: "It's true, the quality of ordinary elf balls is too poor. Basically, if you engage in some high-intensity battles, it will be easily damaged, so I came up with my own The idea of ​​forging.”

With that said, Xiao Zi walked to the stove, raised the hammer with a huge handle and said, "Can you let me try it? After all, if you forge the elf ball yourself, the quality will be more reassuring."

Xiao Zi's words instantly pricked the itch in Mr. Steel's heart, and he immediately felt a sense of recognition and said: "Then you come and try it. I'm watching from the side, starting with the heavy ball. But …”

"But what?"

"However, tangerine fruits are relatively rare and cannot be collected in large quantities, so I only have five in my inventory. You only have five chances. If you can't complete it, you have to look for tangerine fruits yourself."

"no problem."

Xiao Zi swung the hammer, got familiar with the weight and said, "My elf flies very fast. If I want the tangerine fruit, I can make more trips."

After saying that, Xiao Zi began to prepare materials for his first forging...
