Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 187 Yan Di said he wanted to create a new guard
Outside the crystal tower, the real Entei and Suicune sensed the attribute fluctuations coming from inside the tower. Entei's eyes widened and he looked dazed.

Eh? No?

It was already outrageous to sense "another Yan Emperor" in the tower in the beginning, not to mention that the incident even made the news. How come there is another one now?
Who is fighting in the Crystal Tower?
Is it "I" and "me"?
Is the "me" standing next to Suicune a fake? This thought is really strange!
"Woo" Even Suicune looked at Entei, then at the Crystal Tower, feeling three very similar powers and auras that differed only in details, and blinked curiously.

It seems that this trip was not in vain. I did see an extremely rare scene. I didn’t expect that Emperor Yan had two "brothers".

"This is not right, this is not right." Entei shook his head. He felt very confused and decided to figure out what was going on. So he and Suicune jumped onto the two spires of the Crystal Tower respectively and used their super powers to carefully sense the situation inside the tower.

Inside the tower, the fake Yan Emperor used "super speed" to break through the crystal floor and instantly brought Xiaomei's spiritual incarnation back to his original body. At the same time, he felt the "supernatural power" of the real Yan Emperor who came from afar!
"?"

The fake Emperor Yan raised his head in astonishment. It was covered with scars, but those wounds were disappearing quickly.

Is there another power of “myself” coming from the top of the tower?

What the hell is going on here? How many "I"s are there?!

"Dad!" Xiaomei, who had been frightened by the battle just now, opened her eyes from a half-asleep state, hugged the furry Entei and sobbed. She was really worried just now. The ferocious Pokémon that looked very similar to "Dad" almost killed her dad!

"Mei, I'm fine. As long as you believe in me, I won't be defeated by that Pokémon."

"But it's just like me, it won't be hurt here. We have to move away from here, otherwise they will catch up soon."

The fake Yan Emperor thought that as long as he stayed with Xiaomei, he could protect her and fulfill his responsibilities as a father. However, he did not expect that because of an action of "kidnapping mother", so many strong and strange humans came into the tower.

"Where should I go if I leave here? I don't want to leave."

Xiaomei is just an ordinary little girl after all. Although she has the dream of growing up to be a Pokémon trainer and fighting, this dream was shattered before it even started. She tightly grasped the fake Entei's mane, her shoulders shaking and she started crying:

"Dad, we're staying here."

The fake Emperor Yan fell silent.

If Xiaomei wants it to, it will stay, because it came here just to be Xiaomei's father.

"Xiao Mei, listen carefully." At this time, Hanako, who had released her mind control, said to Xiao Mei: "I am not Xiao Mei's real mother."

"You can't stay here any longer."

Entei had not expected that Hanako's mind control would be lifted, and as a mother, Hanako was trying to persuade Xiaomei to face reality. However, the frightened little girl was not willing to admit the current situation at all. She did not want to leave here, even though her "father" and "mother" were trying to persuade her!

Although the meaning of "leaving" in the words of Entei and Hanako is different, they both hope that Xiaomei can walk out of here, whether for safety or to untie the shackles on her heart.

Yan Di was silent. He should have scolded the woman and told her to shut up immediately. However, the dire situation forced him to admit that no matter what the purpose was, leaving here now was the best option. Otherwise...
"Yantei! Let go of my mother!"

A reckless shout came from the only crystal passage. Ash and his two companions and Pikachu finally reached the top level. Seeing that Entei's body had not yet fully recovered, Ash immediately understood that this "imaginary Entei" seemed to have been defeated down there!

"Did you escape here? If you lost, just leave quickly." Xiaozhi waved his hand and looked at Xiaomei at the same time: "Xiaomei, do you still remember me? We met in Pallet Town!"

"Come out of here with us!"

A long time ago, before Satoshi set out on his journey, Mei's father, Dr. Shiuri, took a photo with Mei, Satoshi, Hanako, and Dr. Oak. But for an immature little girl, that photo only occupied a very small corner of her memory.

"No." The panicked girl shook her head gently, watching more and more people invade her and her parents' "private room". Her dream was gradually shattered at this moment, and her expression became more and more aggrieved and angry, and finally accompanied by a sharp shout -

"I do not want!"

Bang! Sharp crystal spikes suddenly appeared on the ground, piercing through all the objects in the room like spears!
The sharp crystal spikes quickly spread to every corner of the crystal room, forming a tall and sharp barrier to block anyone who wanted to get close to Xiaomei! The crystals outside the room also expanded and became larger! The shattered crystals formed a terrifying phenomenon like a blizzard, blowing everyone around!
Xiao Gang was braving the blizzard: "Oh no! This is the place where Xiao Mei's soul was formed. It must be that the unknown totem resonated with Xiao Mei's heart. She went berserk!"

"Mom, over here!" Xiaozhi was looking for his mother Hanako among the sharp crystals, and Xiaomei saw Hanako moving towards Xiaozhi, her expression full of sadness and loss:
"Dad, Mom, Mom is going to be snatched away by that boy."

Even though Xiaozhi told Xiaomei that he had seen Xiaomei before, the lonely girl didn't remember anything about Xiaozhi and Hanako at all. She was just following the "facts" she believed. After receiving Xiaomei's instructions, the fake Entei who was trying to protect Xiaomei growled.

Although it really wants to say "Leave that woman here". But now.
"At least here, she is Xiaomei's mother."

The fake Entei began to threaten Xiaozhi: "Get out now, or I'll chase you away!"

I hope there is still time! The fake Emperor Yan thought so.

"Don't act on your own!" As a reckless man, Xiaozhi certainly couldn't agree to the request of the fake Entei. He took out the Poké Ball on the spot: "It's not that easy, Crocodile, it's decided that it's you!"

Yan Di: "Do you think you can beat me?"

Xiaozhi: "I will not lose to a phantom like you!"

The optimistic little alligator started dancing as soon as it landed, and under Xiaozhi's command, it suddenly fired a water gun!
The fake Entei dodged quickly, but Xiaozhi's words just now.
Ugh! Damn it!

Why, whether it was before or now, this boy, including that strange young man, and the monster-like Pokémon he summoned, all said that they were phantoms? !
Phoenix King, Entei, the Burnt Tower, Sky-breaking Flame, father, mother, daughter, ruins, murals, unknown totems. All kinds of memories and thoughts gathered and twisted in the mind of the fake Entei. It roared viciously, perhaps it could no longer bear such stimulation, it gathered all its strength and fired a jet of flame!
The blazing fire knocked Crocodile to the ground. Xiaozhi was planning to continue the fight with Inchameleon, but Entei directly used "Super Speed"!
The enormous force blew the Poké Ball away and even pinned Satoshi, a super true rookie, under it!
"After seeing my power, do you still dare to call me an illusion?"

"Ash!"

As helpers, Misty and Brock certainly would not stand idly by. They also threw out Pokémon. The fake Entei avoided the attack and then used "Super Speed" continuously!
One move at a time!
Compared to the monster below, the Pokémon of these trainers are very weak. It didn't say anything more and pounced towards Xiaozhi again!

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu's 100,000-volt strike did not cause any damage to Entei at all, and the fake Entei used the most powerful Flame Explosion!

The fierce flames pierced through the Crystal Tower. At the critical moment, Xiaozhi hugged Pikachu and tried to block the attack, but was directly knocked off the Crystal Tower by the explosion shock wave of the flames!

There was an abyss hundreds of meters below. If he fell, even Xiaozhi, who had a super physique, would be in danger of his life.

However, an orange-red figure suddenly appeared!
"Ow!"

The sound of the fire-breathing dragon came from outside the window!
Ash's Charizard came all the way from Charizard Valley to the rescue, having seen this "disaster" on a TV show and came to help, and started a battle with Entei aggressively!
"The situation is spiraling out of control."

Suicune and the real Entei standing on the top of the tower watched the battle. The Rainbow Hero rode Charizard through the spikes of the Crystal Tower, engaging in a fierce battle with the illusory Entei. However, the physical strength of that Entei was infinite. As a manifestation of mental power, there was no possibility of it losing when fighting against ordinary Pokémon.

Of course, that's only when fighting normal Pokémon.

"It's indeed a guy who looks exactly like me." The real Emperor Yan lowered his head, his eyes moving with the battle between the two sides.

The "illusive Entei" had already been defeated once by a Pokémon below, which meant that as long as the power was strong enough, it could still be put in trouble. The only thing left was to calm the girl's mind.

"I thought you would treat this as a test for the Rainbow Hero."

"That's not my job." Suicune smiled, and his eyes moved to the damaged part of the crystal tower: "Look, that Pokémon is one of the sources that called you?"

Yan Emperor turned his head, and even though he was very far away, he could see the "abnormal Yan Emperor" appearing in the empty crystal window!
"Roar!"

Breaking Sky Flame directly smashed the passage of the crystal tower, shaking off all the crystal fragments above its head. With a push of its head, all the crystal spikes in front of it were shattered!

"Hmph!" The Sky-breaking Flame crushed the crystals, and the Light Moss followed, with two sword sheaths floating beside them, and the
Is it a trio?

"How did you get trapped here?"

In the original book, they should have come up and saved Xiaozhi's life and then remained invisible the whole time.

"because."

"It's the wrong time to come up."

"Ha ha."

The three members of Team Rocket were stuck in the crack of the crystal in a weird posture, and they were not able to escape until the Sky-Breaking Flame destroyed the crystal. They all breathed a sigh of relief in unison!

"Saved! (X3)!"

"That girl suddenly went berserk, and we were stuck in the crystals when we got up here." Meowth danced and explained in detail. Guangtai turned around and saw Xiaomei surrounded by crystals. Even though Xiaozhi's mother Hanako tried to comfort her, "Think about your real father and mother." But for Xiaomei in front of her, it seemed to be of no use.

Ah, bad.

Guangtai slapped his head.

Perhaps it was because I shattered the girl's "dream", which resulted in her not enjoying the fun of summoning crystal Pokémon to fight. She was constantly questioned for not fulfilling her dream, which caused her mind to become even more lonely than in the original work!
So, it's my fault?
"Well then comfort her."

Guangtai has a way to deal with this situation. Although the child's mind is very lonely, a child who lost both parents is more difficult to deal with than Mewtwo, who was persecuted by humans and finally gained enlightenment and became a master of philosophy.

The child needs to be comforted, guided, and then made to understand everything that is happening.

"Double scabbards." Guang Moss commanded: "Spiritual Blade."

"Yo~" The eyes of the double scabbards emitted powerful beams of superpowers, and instantly fine and sharp spiritual threads covered the entire venue. Those solid and sharp crystals were easily cut off, and the cuts were smooth and flat, and the light was enough to reflect a person's reflection!

The severed soul crystals fell down in large numbers. Breaking Sky Flame snorted. It seemed to it that it would be easier to crush these crystals with its horns. It only took a slight collision. As for the girl, whether she could survive was up to her. Why did she care about this?

"That's an ancient way of thinking. The days of the survival of the fittest are different from the modern times."

Guangtai walked towards the shivering Xiaomei, and the girl was completely frightened at this time.

Those created spikes were easily split apart. The beautiful and solid crystals could not stop the monster in front of them at all. This made Xiaomei more and more afraid. The more her mood fluctuated, the more thoroughly the power of the unknown totems in a hall somewhere was released!

Bang, bang, bang! Uncontrolled large columnar spikes kept emerging from the ground. The power of the unknown totems was completely released and out of control!

"Xiao Mei! Don't touch her!"

The fake Emperor Yan who was fighting outside witnessed all of this, and he even discovered that the "Sky-Breaking Flame" had reached the top floor. He immediately knocked the Charizard away with one claw, and then used the crystal spikes extending from the outside of the tower as a springboard, wanting to go back and rescue his "daughter"!
But a fierce blue-white flame suddenly fell from the sky!

Boom! The flames formed a wall of fire, burning quietly, as if they had life. The flames were melting the crystallized wall, and standing in front of the fake Flame Emperor was the real Flame Emperor of the Phoenix Guards!
The move just now was Holy Fire!

"You are. me?"

This time, the fake Yan Emperor clearly saw the "Yan Emperor" in front of him, but the real Yan Emperor of the Phoenix Guard did not show any anger. He just looked at the fake Yan Emperor calmly, and sadness gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Illusionary phantom, what you need to do now is not to fight. The power of the unknown totem has gone out of control. The power is released all at once and even they themselves cannot control it. If this continues, the crystallization phenomenon will spread rapidly from the grassland until it spreads to extremely distant towns."

“The damage they have caused is immeasurable.”

"Who the hell are you? Who are you?" However, the fake Yan Emperor was already in a state of mental turmoil. He would never admit that he was just a product of fantasy, even though the real Yan Emperor had come before him and even shouted angrily:
"I am the Flame Emperor!"

"Really? It seems that I have no choice but to use my power to make you understand the current situation. The girl's heart was shaken, causing you to feel anxious and painful." The flame of life surged from the real Entei. It was the holy fire that could give dying things new life. It was a gift from the Phoenix King, combined with its own power to produce changes!

The two Entei started a one-on-one fight. Xiaozhi, riding on Charizard, stared at this extraordinary development in amazement. At this moment, the crystalline spikes that were originally multiplying wildly suddenly slowed down!
Inside the tower.

Xiaomei, who was originally frightened, now had a funny big-headed doll in her hand.

When the doll of the Rose Crown King was forced into her hands, her heart, which had been filled with fear, suddenly calmed down.

The fear was dissipating, and the girl could see the people in front of her clearly again.

Then, she was given an orange-yellow amulet by Guang Moss while she was dazed.

Amulet of courage.

Both of these props have the effect of calming the mind, eliminating negative emotions, stimulating positive emotions, and dissolving psychological barriers.

"The power of the mind is a power that can be truly seen. Although you are still young, you have caused such an exaggerated phenomenon. From this aspect, you may have the talent to be a superpower."

Guangtai placed his hand on Xiaomei's head, slowly releasing the spiritual amplification to calm the uneasy and frightened soul. The double scabbards also emitted faint fluctuations, which were waveguides.

Bodao, stay with me. The double scabbards had not forgotten the magical spell that Guangmoss had taught them, and were muttering silently.

“We are all partners. When life meets life, new things will be born. If you were to travel, where would you like to go?”

"You will meet many new people and new Pokémon during your journey. You will fight, interact and become partners with them. Your real father and mother are still alive. They will meet you soon. I will not lie to you, child."

Xiaomei blinked her eyes and subconsciously grasped the amulet of courage around her neck. When Guangtai spoke to her, she did not know the person in front of her, but a feeling of confidence and warmth burst out from the amulet, and even her heart was infected.

So take courage!
Children cannot understand escape. They just don’t want to admit the cruel reality, so they choose to weave beautiful dreams for themselves. When they wake up from their dreams and finally take a glimpse into the future, the real and heavy scene will inevitably leave a deep impression in their hearts.

Next, it’s time to make a choice: to continue indulging in beautiful dreams, or to muster up the courage to move towards a new tomorrow?
"I'm sorry."

Xiaomei realized something, and the amulet and doll gradually resolved the negative part of her emotions. When the child truly realized all this, that is the moment called "growth".

Next, it was Hanako's turn as the temporary mother. She hugged the crying Xiaomei, gently patted the girl's back, and comforted her with the gentlest tone, making this girl who was finally willing to face the reality gradually become stronger.

Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, Xiaogang and others also came to Xiaomei. At this time, the battle outside the tower also came to an end.

Because Xiaomei mustered up the courage and dispelled the fear and darkness in her heart, the combat effectiveness of the fake Yan Emperor, a product of fantasy, plummeted. It was forced into a corner of the crystal tower by the real Yan Emperor, and the scars accumulated on its body no longer recovered quickly.

But the fake Yan Emperor also lost the desire to fight.

"I lost." The fake Yan Emperor sensed Xiaomei's inner changes, and that courage also affected it. In the battle with the real Yan Emperor, as Xiaomei's cognition of her own reality recovered, it also began to realize its own identity.

It turns out that I am really just an illusion, a fantasy product born as a father with only power.

How could this happen? How could this happen?
"Is the battle over?"

A blue figure descended lightly from another tower. It was a Pokémon that the fake Entei had never seen before. Entei nodded at it and said, "This is Suicune, another member of the Ho-oh Guard."

"We, the three holy beasts, are Pokémon born out of the kindness of Lord Ho-oh. We were once burned to death in a fire, and it was Lord Ho-oh who resurrected us and gave us a noble mission. In a sense, our determination to protect Lord Ho-oh is the same as your determination to protect your daughter."

"So, for the sake of your daughter, join us in stopping the rampage of the unknown totem. Otherwise, she will be in danger! And so will this land!"

"Roar!"

A huge roar came from the broken part of the tower, and Pokongyan jumped down from the tower, shaking the ground into flying dust. He walked out of the smoke and dust with majesty and roar, looking down at the embarrassed fake Emperor Yan in front of him.

Humph! The guy who was defeated and fled halfway down there, is he going to taste failure again here?

In our time, Pokémon like you would attract the attention of predators, and then they would gather in large numbers to bring you the most intense siege!

"Well, who are you?" The real Yan Emperor had wanted to ask for a long time. There were three "Yan Emperors" in front of him!

The real Yan Emperor, the phantom Yan Emperor, the paradoxical Yan Emperor!
Suicune looked at the three Entei gathered together, and even though he was usually cold, he couldn't help but smile mischievously.

This is such a rare sight! Ah, it's a pity that Thunder God and Phoenix King can't see it, I really want them to see it too!
"You have similar powers to my phantom self. But I feel like you are real. Why is that?"

Emperor Yan asked, "I heard your roar earlier, it was like a dream. What is the relationship between you and me? No, you and us?"

"Those relics related to the 'Emperor' that appeared in the Johto region, are they related to you? We are so similar."

Ah. The three of us can form a new "Yandi Guard" and become sworn partners?

The fake Emperor Yan said nothing, and just stared at Pokongyan silently.

It has long wanted to know the answer to this question.

“Roar!” Pokongyan glanced at the real Yan Emperor. This Yan Emperor gave him a completely different feeling - well, if the roar of the fake Yan Emperor was like a nightmare that he could not wake up from, then the existence of the real Yan Emperor was probably "another me in the world", like an Easter egg in a dream?
Well, let me introduce myself. I am the fire dragon from ancient times! Humans call me Sky-breaking Flame!
"Roar!"

Without further ado, let’s put an end to this endless nightmare journey!
