Chapter 119 Card Making: Trainer Ash

Gu Ye's consciousness returned to his physical body. Sitting cross-legged at the table, he took out all the card-making materials from his storage card and spread them out on the tabletop to count them carefully.

He screened and compared them one by one against the requirements for Ash's deck. After a long while, he finally picked out only a few usable materials.

"The ready-made materials on hand are far from enough; it seems I still have to rely on my Refinement talent to fill the gap."

Gu Ye muttered to himself, his gaze resolute.

Spiritual light surged in his palm as he directly summoned the ancient and heavy [Furnace], the patterns on its body glowing with a faint spiritual light.

With a wave of his hand, he threw all the useless waste materials into the furnace.

Next, he activated his Tier 2 [Refinement] talent, locking onto the area-of-effect control. He focused his mind and input the categories and traits of the materials needed for Ash's deck into his consciousness.

The next second, the furnace suddenly trembled violently, and fine spiritual light overflowed from its mouth. A series of experience deduction prompts appeared one after another:

[Experience -100]!

[Experience -300]!

[Experience -200]!

...

Gu Ye called Bu Yao again to state his requirements.

Now he just had to wait for the materials to arrive before he could start card-making.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The custom materials Bu Yao sent via express had all arrived, and their quality far exceeded his expectations.

Gu Ye looked at the neatly arranged purple card-making materials on the table, which were shimmering with spiritual aura. These were precisely for crafting the core main card.

Looking at Ash's exclusive materials, a flash of anticipation crossed his eyes.

Entering the spiritual space, he navigated to the world background section.

Gu Ye began to fill in the information:

[Ash set out on his journey of cultivation from Pallet Town at the age of 10. Because he overslept, he missed out on the three starters and only received a stubborn Pikachu.

It wasn't until he risked his life to protect Pikachu from a fatal crisis that the human and Pokemon forged a life-and-death bond. Along the way, they encountered the legendary Ho-Oh and immediately swore an oath to become a Pokemon Master.

Afterward, he traveled with Misty and Brock, competing in the Kanto Indigo Plateau Conference, where he finished in the top sixteen.]

[He then ventured to the Orange Islands, winning the title of Honorary Trainer of the Winner's Cup, and competed in the Johto Silver Conference, strongly breaking into the top eight.]

[Subsequently, he traveled to the Hoenn Region, teaming up with May and Max. He finished in the top eight at the Ever Grande Conference but dominated the Battle Frontier with his strength.

Moving on to the Sinnoh Region, he partnered with Dawn to compete in the Lily of the Valley Conference, advancing triumphantly to the top four. In the Unova Region's Vertress Conference, he was again narrowly defeated and finished in the top eight.]

[In the Kalos Region, he traveled with Serena. Relying on the ultimate Bond Phenomenon with Greninja, he advanced to the Lumiose Conference and won the runner-up title.

Afterward, he traveled to Alola and competed in the Manalo Conference as a student, winning the championship in one fell swoop and becoming Alola's first League Champion.]

[Finally, he competed in the Galar Pokemon World Coronation Series, overcoming all obstacles to reach the Masters Eight finals. He defeated the undefeated champion Leon to reach the top of the world, fulfilling his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master before returning gloriously to Pallet Town.]

[Shortly after returning home, he was unexpectedly drawn into the Digital World by a Digivice. He encountered Agumon and Gabumon, becoming life-and-death partners. They successively battled Devimon, Etemon, and Myotismon, collecting eight Crests including Courage, helping his partners complete their Ultimate Level evolutions...]

[After returning to his home world, he encountered a saiyan from Planet Vegeta while out training. After a conversation, he learned that a saiyan bloodline was actually hidden within his body. From then on, he followed him to train diligently and tap into the power of his bloodline...]

Hundreds of words flowed, detailing Ash's entire life.

Perhaps because the spiritual space had expanded, Gu Ye did not feel much exhaustion after finishing the writing; he felt he could still keep going.

Once the settings were submitted, the Will of Heaven instantly recognized them. Spiritual light gathered in the void, and a card engraved with Ash's heroic posture slowly formed, falling into Gu Ye's palm.

For this card-making session, Gu Ye used two purple card-making materials. When he received one of them, the look Bu Yao gave him was somewhat strange.

card: [Super Pallet Native · Ash]

Quality: [Light Purple · 5-Star]

Category: [Summon/Humanoid]

Traits:

[Pallet Town Trainer]: Increases all attributes of all allied pets on the field, and significantly boosts skill damage.

Ash can command pets in battle instead of the Card Master, and possesses a built-in 50% damage reduction.

[Ho-Oh's Messenger]: When himself or the Card Master is about to die, triggers Ho-Oh's Protection, recovering all injuries. The Card Master enters an untargetable state until no allied units remain on the field, at which point the state is automatically lifted.

[Champion Bond]: After triggering Ho-Oh's Protection, randomly summons a partner who has appeared in past major tournaments.

Skills:

[Recall Ball]:

When a pet faces mortal danger, Ash can use a Poke Ball to recall it to safety. Limited to three uses every 24 hours.

[Master Ball]:

Ash throws a Master Ball, which is guaranteed to capture an enemy creature, allowing control of the target for a three-minute battle. (Capture probability and control duration decrease as the card level increases.)

[Evolution]:

Ash randomly selects a pet to evolve based on changes on the field, potentially breaking through its limits.

[What the F*ck is a Partner]:

After Ash dies, he leaves behind a hat. The hat can designate a pet to evolve, with the evolution method randomly selected from Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Bond Phenomenon, or Primal Reversion.

[Super Pallet Native]:

After all allies die, Ash falls into despair due to the death of his partners, absorbing all allied power to awaken his saiyan bloodline and evolve into a Super Saiyan.

[Bond]: When appearing alongside [Pikachu], activates the effect [You Are My Only One].

Gu Ye read the attributes word by word. The core effects were almost exactly as he had envisioned, though some powerful mechanisms had been balanced and modified by the Will of Heaven with many new restrictions, which was reasonable.

His consciousness exited the spiritual space and returned to reality. He then took out the Corruption Value Detector and aimed it at himself. A value soon popped up on the instrument's screen.

"20."

Gu Ye stared at the number on the screen, the corners of his mouth curling slightly as he muttered softly:

"It seems that after absorbing Xu Yuanmo's power, not only have my cultivation and card foundation improved, but even my corruption pollution resistance has enhanced quite a bit."

He silently calculated the upper limit of this value, gaining a clearer understanding of his own state.
