My name is Zifuqi Stio, a blacksmith who is obsessed with blacksmithing.
In this world, Poke Balls are tools for catching Pokémon and are cold mass-produced commodities. But I don't think so.
To me, Poké Balls are containers of trust. It should not be a forced prison, but a proof of bondage.
So I refused mass production and insisted on hand forging. I will hand-select the ore according to each Pokémon's personality and habits, and forge it repeatedly to create a unique "home" for them.
From Hoenn to Kanto, I took my hammer and my companions on the journey. My goal is not to collect badges, but to find the best ore and forge the elf ball that can carry the strongest bond.
Because I believe that only the warmth of handwork can gain the unreserved trust of Pokémon.
