Chapter 36 - Chapter 33 — Berry Blender and Crafting module

A/N: dear readers You may skip this chapter if you are not interested in types of pokeblocks and crafted items.

Aakash POV

After dinner, after reassuring Mom for the fiftieth time and making sure Sagar didn't accidentally electrocute the ceiling fan with his new Pikachu, I finally retreated into my room.

The moment I shut the door—

DING.

A notification I hadn't checked earlier pulsed in the corner of my vision.

I blinked.

"Oh right… I didn't even check the rewards…"

I sat on my bed, exhaled, and opened the system panel.

[ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION – QUEST COMPLETE ]

Quest:Stabilize Human–Pokémon Relations (Early Stage)

Status: Completed

Reward:✔ Crafting Module Unlocked

My eyebrows shot up.

"It was completed. Now he had both Crafting module and Berry Blender unlocked"

This was huge.

Crafting Module meant actual item production—Pokéball upgrades in the future, medicine variants, battle tools…

Berry Blender meant Pokéblocks.

Useful Pokéblocks.

Real stat-enhancing, morale-boosting, energy-restoring Pokéblocks.

My heart picked up speed.

I opened the Berry Blender first.

A holographic interface appeared:

Insert berries to create Pokéblocks with specific effects.

A list unfolded.

I scanned through them, smiling slowly.

Within these type were classifications like Basic, training grade, high, premium. I

dumped the small collection of berries I had gathered over the expedition.

It wasn't much.

Definitely not enough for premium batches.

But enough to strengthen the team's bodies, minds, and emotional state.

Tonight, I needed three specific types:

🔥 Red Pokéblocks (Training-Grade)

To strengthen muscles & stamina.

🍋 Yellow Pokéblocks (Training-Grade)

To increase endurance & bone strength.

🍬 Pink Pokéblocks (Training-Grade)

To calm emotional instability after a life-or-death battle.

Encourages bonding and obedience

Boosts early-life growth → infants develop better

The system displayed the selectable recipes.

Training-Grade Red Pokéblock

Tamato + Leppa + CheriStrong spicy blend→ boosts physical growth + attack strength

Training-Grade Yellow Pokéblock

Aspear + Sitrus + Iapapa→ enhances bone density + toxin resistance + endurance.

For curiosity, I opened the advanced recipes:

🍬 Standard Pink

Pecha ×2 + Nanab(Simple, basic, daily)

🍬 High-Quality ("Cute Max")

Watmel + Pecha + Nanab(For hatchlings & trauma recovery)

🍬 Premium Pink (Fanfic-exclusive)

Watmel + Belue + Pecha + Sweet Essence(Daycare-level, elite bonding, extremely rare)

I didn't have Watmel or Belue, so I stuck to the training-grade version.

⏳ 40 Minutes Later

A small pile of colorful geometric cubes filled my desk.

Red (Training-Grade) × 20

Yellow (Training-Grade) × 20

Pink (Training-Grade) × 20

Total: 60 PokéblocksEnough… but just barely.

I counted the Pokémon under my care.

Current total at home: 9 Pokémon

Pidgeotto

Mankey

Pikachu ×2

Rhyhorn ×2

Eevee ×2

Tangela

Feeding all of them even one block each would consume huge batches.

This entire set would last barely two days.

I needed more berries.

A LOT more berries.

Apricorn Forest would become my cultivation base, but that was a plan for later.

For now?

I needed the entire team to stabilize after the Arbok battle.

For at least one week, I would give everyone Pokéblocks daily.

After that, only my core four would continue daily supplementation:

Pidgeotto, Rhyhorn Leader, Pikachu, and Mankey

The rest would get scheduled feeding depending on their training roles.

I stored all Pokéblocks neatly into containers.

Then I opened the Crafting Module 

The interface unfolded like a blueprint exploding into existence.

Rows of tabs.Hundreds of subcategories.Tools. Materials. Recipes.

My breath caught.

This wasn't just the Berry Blender.

This… was a factory.

A portable, unseen factory I alone could access.

📘 Crafting Module Categories

A scroll bar appeared—absurdly tiny compared to the endless list beneath it.

• Pokéball RecipesDozens of them.Basic, Great, Ultra, Heavy, Fast, Timer, Nest, Dusk, Luxury…Even special ones like Friend Ball, Heal Ball, and Net Ball.

• Medicine CraftingPotions → Potion, Super Potion, Hyper Potion, even Max PotionStatus Heals → Antidote, Paralyze Heal, Awakening, Burn HealSpecial → Full Heal, Revival Herb refinement (dangerous but possible)

• Battle ItemsX-Attack, X-Defense, Guard Spec. (but expensive to produce)

• Held Item RefinementsMetal Coat, Electrizer, Magmarizer, Charcoal

There was even Spatial bags.

I leaned back slowly.

"This… this is insane."

Poké Ball 

Ingredients:

1 Apricorn ( ✔ had bag full )

1 Tumblestone ( ✔ collected near mountain zone )

Great Ball 

Recipe:

1 Apricorn

1 Great Tumblestone (blue variant) 

1 Iron Chunk

Heavy Ball 

Recipe:

1 Apricorn

1 Black Tumblestone ( ✔ found near the Venusaur zone )

1 Iron Chunk

The moment I saw the recipes, my brain started running on instinct.

These weren't complicated.

They were simpler than I expected.

The hardest part wasn't the crafting.

It was the forging—cleaning tumblestone chunks, shaping apricorn shells, and sealing circuits.

Which is exactly why I gathered craftsmen.

Tomorrow, I needed them.

But tonight…I wanted to try making at least one Pokéball myself.

I placed my palm on the crafting panel.

A soft humming sound—like a magnetic field spinning—whirred around the desk.

A new prompt appeared:

[ Would you like to craft: Poké Ball (x1)? ]Yes / No

I selected Yes.

Apricorn.Tumblestone.

I placed them on the crafting platform.

A soft click.

A dull red-and-brown Poké Ball sat in my palm.

Round.Warm.Perfect.

A genuine, functional Poké Ball.

Made right here in my room.

I turned it over.

The seam aligned perfectly.The button clicked with a subtle electrical pulse—the capture lattice activating.

I exhaled slowly.

In one week, with trained workers, we could make 200–300 balls.

In one month…?

India would have its first fully operational Pokéball supply chain.

Not Game Freak tech.Not Silph Co.Not Devon Corp.

Our own.

I crafted 10 more balls before stopping:

Poké Ball × 8Heavy Ball × 2

Just to test the recipes.

The Heavy Ball weighed as much as a brick.But the moment I pressed the button—

The pressure inside told me its capture force was far higher than a regular Ball.

Not useful for flying Pokémon.

But for bulky ones…This was a monster.

I stretched, cracked my shoulders, and glanced at the time.

2:13 AM.

"…I need to sleep."

Tomorrow:

• Teach craftsmen forging technique• Build our first production line• Department structure meeting

I powered down the panel.

The newly crafted Pokéballs sat neatly on the table.

Simple.

But historic.

The first Pokéballs ever made in India… sat in my bedroom right now.

I slid under the covers.

Tangela curled at my feet.Mankey dropped from the cupboard onto the pillow.Pikachu hopped onto my chest.Pidgeotto rested quietly inside her Pokéball.

I smiled tiredly.

"Tomorrow… we start building something big."

Sleep claimed me in seconds.
