Chapter 42 - 42
After purchasing the Arceus sculpture, Professor Rowan also placed an order for a Slugma sculpture.
According to its product description, the Slugma sculpture can make the surrounding area warmer—essentially serving as a fireplace that doesn't require a flame. It sounded quite practical.
"It must have some kind of built-in heating device. But this effect does resemble Slugma's natural trait. Wherever Slugma gathers, the ground temperature rises. In colder regions, some people even raise Slugma and let them move around inside a fireplace to heat their entire house."
"By the way, there's no direct shipping option? It has to go from Johto to Kanto, then from Kanto to Sinnoh? The shipping fee's kinda high…"
Professor Rowan pondered this while reviewing the other sculptures' feature descriptions:
The Slugma sculpture's function is heating.
The Charizard sculpture's function is to make fire burn more fiercely.
The Scyther sculpture can increase the cutting force.

The Dragonite sculpture prevents abnormal status more easily.
The Xatu sculpture can foresee one event each day.
The Snorlax sculpture's function is to calm external forces and soothe the mind.
Calm external forces? What does that even mean?
"Ugh, no matter how you look at it, something's off. Could this store be a scam? If these items turn out worthless, I'm going to complain to Oak. He's the one who made me follow this weird shop. If my money is wasted, I'll blame him!"
"That's a full two hundred thousand!"
"And there are Gengar and Lairon sculptures. Wait, the Lairon one is off the shelves? It says 'This product is no longer available… inventory is out?'"

"It's a very old-looking Snorlax statue. Supposedly, it can calm the mind somewhat."
"Hmm, could the sculptor be a person with psychic powers?"
This was Darach, the Castle Valet of the Battle Castle, one of the Sinnoh Battle Frontier facilities. He served as the attendant of the castle's true owner, the young lady Caitlin.
That girl possessed extremely strong psychic powers, so formidable that whenever her emotions ran too high, her powers would go out of control and rampage. Because of that, she was prohibited from participating in battle.
However, Caitlin had gradually realized her own immaturity and was determined to change herself. She'd been through a period of training and refinement and was about to depart on a journey to the faraway Unova region. Darach believed she would accomplish something extraordinary there.
Perhaps in just a few months, he'd hear news of his mistress's meteoric rise in that land.
With that in mind, Darach had been
"That sort of inborn power often comes with a certain destiny. That's typically how these things go. The more I think about it, the more excited I get!"
