Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 198 Wangluo and Zhulan

Deep in the ancient sacred peak, there is a great valley of snow.

In a small house in the ruins of Shendu.

Zhulan, who had long yellow hair and wore a black coat, looked suspiciously at "someone" in the cabin who looked very similar to her!
"This is the ruins of the capital of the gods. It is the final destination of the Sinnoh legend, and the place where the people of the gods finally arrived."

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Takeran, a mythology scholar from the Sinnoh region. I am here to investigate the ruins of the capital of the gods and to look for a mysterious craftsman. I heard that he lives nearby, but for some reason, I am sure I have not seen any trace of him."

Zhulan also had a headache.

In fact, she had already looked around, but for some reason she couldn't find the workshop. She also went to the villages outside the mountain to inquire, and although she got an answer, when she went to the designated place, she always felt a strange sense of distortion.

It can’t be some different space.

After this thought popped up, Zhulan actually thought about it carefully.

This is the legendary "Capital of Gods".

Even if there really is a special different space, it shouldn’t be strange!
Research from all over the world has shown that some alien spaces exist widely in this world, and even some Pokémon live in them.

Such a secret place also exists in the land of Sinnoh.

So Zhulan sent some messages to Guangtai, but the latter had not replied to her yet. So, taking advantage of this gap, she went directly to the ruins of Shendu. After all, the ruins would not disappear.

When it comes to content related to mythology, Zhulan's heart begins to burn with excitement. She becomes eager to uncover those ancient secrets.

An old man, a businessman, and a Cathy lived in the mountain cabin. When Zhulan knocked on the door and went in, the two were eating radish stew.

"This time it's the archaeologists from the Sinnoh region." The businessman with yellow hair and a small hat squinted and smiled, clicking his chopsticks and chewing radish in a small bowl. Grandpa Shanjian and Casey looked leisurely and contented on the side, with the word "comfortable" written all over their faces.

Wang Luo (chewing a carrot): "I know you. You are a well-known figure in the archaeological world and the champion of the Sinnoh region, right?"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Wang Luo, a humble businessman who loves history and mythology. I came here in pursuit of ancient knowledge. Now I'm temporarily serving as a guide for mountaineering and ruins exploration. I'm also a seeker of mythology."

"If you want to investigate something related to the ruins, I can answer your questions, but this ruins is still too mysterious, and many places are still unknown."

"By the way, look, we're having dinner, would you like some?"

"This is stewed with beach radish and royal leaves. It's soft, tender and fragrant. This radish must be a specialty of Snow Peak City! People in Sinnoh love to eat this and can't live without it. I'm also a Sinnoh person!"

Zhulan said helplessly: "Thank you for the invitation, but I'm not hungry yet. Hmm, so you are also from Sinnoh?"

No wonder his hairstyle is a bit similar to mine, Zhulan muttered quietly.

Could he be from Shenhezhen?

"I'm here to investigate the ruins and this statue." Zhulan took out the statue of Arceus:
"Mr. Wang Luo, do you know anything about this image? This relic seems to be related to this Pokémon."

The moment Wang Luo saw the stone statue, his eyes suddenly froze.

"Oh my! That image. Where did you get this stone statue?"

Wang Luo's expression became slightly excited. He looked at Zhulan, his "descendant" in front of him. Zhulan also noticed that the businessman in front of her had a noticeable change in mood. She originally planned to tell him about the mysterious craftsman and ask him where he lived, but stopped in time.

It feels like something is not right?

"What's wrong? Do you know something about this stone statue?" Zhulan did not mention the origin of the stone statue, but only asked Wang Luo if he knew the name of the stone statue, and Wang Luo seemed to have thought of something.

It seemed to be intuition. For some reason, the face of a familiar young man always appeared in my mind.

That’s right, although the “great-granddaughter” in front of him came from afar, this stone statue must have been made by Guangtai. Wang Luo had a sense of familiarity with Guangtai from the beginning, but he couldn’t remember it no matter what. The young man’s attitude towards the ruins of Shendu was also ambiguous.

Although he knew nothing on the surface, Wang Luo always felt that Guangtai knew something deeper.

And now, Wang Luo confirmed that Guangtai really knew something, so he came back here!
"Oh, of course! Of course I know this Pokémon!" Wang Luo's smile became more and more weird. He has been chasing this Pokémon for hundreds of years, how could he not know it!
Look at your own hairstyle! It is modeled after the head shape of Sinnoh Lord!
"Haha, I think I know who made the statue. He actually hid it from me. Did he see through my intention?"

"Now the missing person has arrived. So it's you who is chasing this Pokémon? What a coincidence. I'm chasing it too."

Wang Luo stared at Zhulan, put down his bowl and chopsticks, told Grandpa Shanjian that he was full, then took out a Poké Ball with a smile.

"It may be a little abrupt, but can you please have a Pokémon battle with me? Right in front of the ruins of this divine capital."

"How about you also bring this statue with you and ask it to witness our duel?"

After saying this, Wang Luo spoke provocatively, as if he was worried that Zhulan was unwilling to fight, or as if he wanted to "instruct" his great-granddaughter:
"Actually, I have something I wanted to tell you a long time ago."

"I watched your live broadcast on TV. You are overwhelmingly powerful in the face of challengers. Your Land Shark has been well trained. But if we talk about whether you have fully utilized its power."

"[Champion] should refer to a master with extraordinary strength. Your level is an insurmountable mountain for ordinary people, but in my opinion, it seems that you are not that strong."

The Poké Ball shook slightly, and Ran's Garchomp expressed its dissatisfaction!

"Hmm." Zhu Lan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Your provocation skills are not very good, but you are really picking faults for no apparent reason! Have I done anything to make you hate me?"

"No, no." Wang Luo waved his hands and showed a weird smile: "I just hope that the Pokémon tamers in this land can become stronger."

"Let me be frank. As a champion, your training methods are not hard enough."

"The Pokémon battles of this era are ultimately just competitions. They are not as good as the people and Pokémon who have fought for their lives in harsh environments. Pokémon that have overcome life and death and gone through a lot of hard training will become the claws and fangs of humans. Only when they reach this point can it be called a true bond."

"Have you heard of the two fighting styles of 'strong' and 'fast'? Don't worry, I will show you right away. Remember this fighting method, and then, embark on a path to become stronger."

Zhulan frowned slightly. Although this challenge came strangely, as a trainer, she had to accept this battle.

Moreover, could this battle trigger some kind of phenomenon in the ruins? Zhulan had investigated many ruins and met many trainers and ruins investigators. Many people who thought they knew some secrets would often do some inexplicable things and actions in front of certain ruins.

The merchant who called himself Wang Luo suddenly showed the same enthusiasm for fighting as those people.

"Really? I don't seem to have any reason not to accept it. Let me make it clear in advance that I won't let you down!" Zhulan smiled confidently. As the champion of Sinnoh, she would not lose to anyone!

drop--

The sound of the Pokémon device sounded, and Zhulan opened it and took a look.

[“Due to some special reasons, my workshop is now ‘closed’. You are in the Ruins of the Divine Capital, right? That’s perfect. I’ll go to the Ruins of the Divine Capital now.”]

[“I know you have some questions. Let’s talk about it in detail when we meet.”]
