Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 199 Trainers Chosen by God

"Hey, you think my flying suggestion is good too?"

Light Moss plans to add the first "external equipment" to Aegisblade, which is the "flying mount". This item refers to the riding equipment used to ride the "mount Pokémon". This kind of riding equipment is very common in the remote Alola region.

As for where the flying mount should be installed, Guangtai thought it would be interesting to fly on the sword. After all, his own Shield Blade monster was very large, unlike ordinary Shield Blade monsters, so it was completely feasible to do so.

The general manned flight of Shield Blade is actually normal suspension. The trainer either holds on to the body of Shield Blade, or sits directly on the Shield Blade family, such as the thief father and daughter in the movie, or adds handles to Shield Blade and flies by stepping on its arms, such as the referee in the Galar region.

But either one looks very dangerous!
That way of flying is like flying on a spring. If you go out with a heavy backpack, it will always feel unstable!

But when Light Moss told the Shieldsword Monster about the flying proposal, he didn't expect that this guy would immediately become a middle school student!
Oh! It's like a flying sword that can snipe someone from a long distance. Isn't this a cool suggestion?
The king appeared on the stage standing on a giant sword, and immediately fired a holy sword when he landed!
"So as long as the shape is cool enough, it doesn't matter what kind of flying method it is."

"Give me a sword! (Since I can transform, flying in any mode is easy!) Give me a sword! (I can even do something like this!)"

After saying that, the Shield Sword Monster made a weird pose and almost scared Guang Moss!
Super transformation!
The shield seemed to have become the main body, and the two ribbon arms were twisted on the shield, with the right ribbon tightly grasping the giant sword body!

Hey, this is no longer a shield-sword monster, but a "sword-shield monster"!

Since Zhulan was waiting, Guangtai did not spend too much time. He just used the existing materials to quickly put together a simple "riding harness scabbard". There was a hole on each side of the iron scabbard, into which a wooden pole could be inserted for support.

Although it is not a guardrail, it is just a temporary flight, and it is considered safe to do this.

The Shieldsword Monster happily put on the scabbard. He had lost the scabbard after his evolution, but now he got it back. Of course, the scabbard was actually just an "iron shell".

"buzz"

When preparing to leave, the creative force in Guang Moss' body suddenly surged, and the golden energy like sand poured out from his fingertips, pulling Guang Moss.

A strange echo appeared.

The source was the "protective stone" placed in the workshop. The echoing ripples were like a waveguide, and along with the faint light of the stone, the same light appeared on Guang Moss's body.

The stone conveys a vague will, which is a special kind of "protection".

"what?"

This blessing came in a strange way. It was the first time that Guang Moss saw this stone emitting a faint light, as if it was giving him some kind of revelation.

【? ? ?: Thousand Universe Arm Divine Capital Ruins】

A strange voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Guangtai shook his head violently, and the voice seemed to have never appeared!
Huh? !

Before heading to the ruins of the Divine Capital, something strange happened. Guang Moss thought for a moment and carefully examined the protective stone, confirming that it might be trying to convey something to him!
"Then, let's fly first!"

When leaving the vicinity of the workshop, Guangtai looked down and found that there was a thin layer of space fluctuations around the workshop, which was probably the manifestation of the alien space. Soon, the workshop, village, field, river, mountain peaks were all left behind by the flying sword. The giant sword moved steadily across the sky, and the oncoming wind was quite strong!
However, the faint spiritual power formed a barrier around it, weakening the strong wind at high altitude!

"This spiritual power is really very convenient. I wonder how those trainers riding Dragonite, Garchomp and the like resist the strong wind in the sky?"

Although wearing a helmet when riding a flying Pokémon in the game makes you look very professional, in the real world, there are many people who fly in the sky not only without a helmet, but also stand upright to show off!
They are really supermen, braving the strong winds in the sky. I hadn’t thought about this problem when Daigo flew over before, but now it’s my turn to fly, and I finally realized that something is wrong!
"Well, you better get down a little bit. You'll need to make goggles and a helmet later. Oh, and put on the 'dust goggles' and 'convex helmet'."

Zhulan and Wangluo, who were waiting at the ruins of the Divine Capital, did not expect that a giant sword would fly down from the sky. When landing, they did not adjust their posture properly, causing Guang Moss to fall vertically at an angle of nearly 90 degrees.

"Phew! How dangerous! It's my first time flying like this and I don't have any experience." Light Moss got off the Shield Blade Monster. This guy obviously wanted to make a cool appearance, but he almost messed it up!

"Sorry! Because the workshop is temporarily closed to the public, others can't find my location. So you are..."

Familiar mountain hut, familiar ruins entrance, familiar... eh?!

In addition to the champion of the Sinnoh region, Takeran, who was known as Baicai Jie, whom he had seen countless times in games, anime, and comics,
Wang Luo is back too?!
Moreover, the two men did not stay in the cabin, but stood outside, in the open area in the snow valley, not far from the entrance to the ruins of the Divine Capital, where they had fought with Wang Luo before!

Are these two going to fight?
"Oh my, your expression changed all of a sudden! You really don't want to see me!" Wang Luo said the fact that he was disliked in a very relaxed tone, and pretended to be sad and used a funny and weird tone:
"That's so sad! I used to sell you things at a low price. Is there anything that makes you think I'm annoying?"

"Or do you think I will do harm to this relic?"

Wang Luo's smile was meaningful, and Zhulan beside him was also silent. Guangtai seemed to see ellipsis appearing above Zhulan's head. Obviously, the situation before him was something Guangtai had not expected.

"Oh my! That Pokémon is... a Pokémon I've never seen before! Is it an evolution of that sword?"

"That's the 'Shieldblade', a secret sword that is said to be able to choose the king."

Fortunately, Zhulan interrupted Wang Luo’s “complaint” at this time!
"I've seen similar Pokémon Shieldblade from Kalos and Galar before, but your Shieldblade has been bred to be quite powerful! This is the first time I've seen such a huge sword!"

Zhulan was amazed at the bright luster of the shield and blade of the Shieldsword Monster, and its huge body also contained extraordinary energy!
It’s just that the iron scabbard is a bit funny. It’s obviously a flying prop that was temporarily added. Well, Zhulan recalled the manned flying method of the Aegis Sword Monster that she had seen before. It seemed to be very different from the "flying mode" of Guang Moss!
I've never seen a shield-sword monster flying horizontally! But how can I put it? There's a sense of rationality in the absurdity.

"Nice to meet you. Hello! I'm the 'Myth Explorer', and I'm also the Sinnoh region's myth scholar, Takeran."

Zhulan finally smiled, making people feel like they were in a spring breeze.

She is tall, wearing a classic black coat, has cascading blonde hair, a headdress like Lucario, and a fair and delicate face.

Calm, decisive, noble, gentle, these qualities are concentrated in the same person.

As a recognized beauty in the Pokémon world, she truly interprets what it means to be "both powerful and beautiful"!
Of course, if we use such gorgeous words to evaluate Zhulan, then Wangluo can also be mentioned to some extent, after all, they are the same face!

"You know, she is the champion of the Sinnoh region and a very famous person!" Wang Luo suddenly interrupted, and Guangtai heard the obvious pride and boasting in his tone!

Zhulan looked a little puzzled.

Is it the unspeakable love from his great-grandfather? Guangtai couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this scene, which made Zhulan even more puzzled. She pinched her delicate chin, her eyes full of confusion.

Zhulan glanced at Wang Luo and said, "As a champion, there is no need to show off this identity everywhere. My main job is actually a mythologist."

"And even if you are the champion, it doesn't mean you are great. The top Pokémon trainers in different regions will change with the times. Green, Red, Adu, Daigo, Mikoli"

"Maybe I will go down in history as the champion of the Sinnoh region. But that is not eternal. One day I will give up the title of champion. I think the most important thing is not the title, but to keep myself in people's hearts."

"Because if you appear as a champion, you will have a majestic and unapproachable temperament, which makes it difficult for people to approach you. But if you call yourself a scholar, people will feel very friendly?"

Wang Luo was smiling. Zhu Lan helplessly held her forehead. She was really confused about Wang Luo's behavior. He looked so enthusiastic about fighting just now, but now he suddenly smiled and had no murderous intent at all!
Moreover, he kept emphasizing his various identities in front of the craftsman, as if an elder was showing off to a younger one!
Yes, if it was flirting or flattery, the tone and expression were a bit too weird!

"Well, that's about it." Zhulan looked at Guangtai and smiled as she talked about the past: "The Pokémon training items I bought from you before were very effective! My Pokémon's strength, endurance, and the power of their moves have all increased significantly!"

"I'm sorry to embarrass you. Just as Mr. Wang Luo said, I'm the champion of Sinnoh. It's hard to make much progress in Pokémon training and cultivation at my level, but those items really gave me a shock!"

"Speaking of which, this place is really hard to find. It took me a lot of effort to figure out how to enter this ancient land. Strong winds and snow blow here all year round, and only stop when summer comes. No wonder the records of this place in previous documents are so vague."

"It would be great if I could help! So, let's get to the point!" Guangtai glanced at Wang Luo, who was smiling, as if he was waiting for this topic!

"You are here for the Purification Pendant and the Relics of the Divine Capital, right?"

"Yes. But, to be exact, it's not just the Pure Pendant. I'm curious about the craftsmanship you used to make the pendant. Also, I'm trying to find the secret of the statue you sold me before."

Zhulan also started discussing the formal topic. When she talked about this matter, her obsidian eyes sparkled and her interest became high!

"My grandmother in Shenhe Town has the craftsmanship to make ancient amulets, but the ancient amulets no longer have the power recorded in the literature. A certain part of the craftsmanship has been lost."

"And the craftsmanship style of your Pure Pendant is very similar to the craftsmanship style of the amulets of Shenhe Town. While investigating the ruins of Shendu, I also plan to find out the true craftsmanship of the ancient amulets."

Zhulan took out a sky blue pendant amulet from her coat pocket and handed it to Guangtai.

"This is a special amulet that has been handed down from hundreds of years ago. It seems to have been made to pray to a certain god. It is an item called the 'Safety Amulet'."

Guang Moss: "A safety amulet that makes it harder for people to faint."

"Do you know how to use this amulet?" Zhulan's expression was focused. When talking about ancient things, she would fall into this enthusiastic attitude.

"Oh, isn't this one of the three amulets of Xi Cui? But unfortunately, this kind of amulet can no longer be prepared in modern times." Wang Luo suddenly spoke, glanced, smiled and waved his hand.

That amulet looks so familiar to him!
In the past, a certain Super Washiman carried a bunch of these things with him and went everywhere to fight Pokémon! However, during the development of Zhuqing Village, the most important "stone" for the amulet has disappeared!

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, and did not answer Wang Luo, but looked at Guangtai with expectant eyes.

This little amulet given by grandma really carries a lot of secrets.

The mysterious craftsman, the eccentric businessman, they all seem to be very familiar with this amulet. The seemingly simple craftsmanship cannot be replicated in modern times, so, what step is missing?

"It's okay, I can do it. It's very simple, but the lost craftsmanship. Sorry, with Shenhezhen's craftsmanship, it probably can't be replicated."

Guangtai's answer was beyond their expectations, and Zhulan immediately looked at Wangluo provocatively. "It seems that what Mr. Merchant said just now is not accurate!"

But then she became confused again: "Is it impossible to replicate Shenhe's craftsmanship?"

Wang Luo's expression also became very strange. He looked at Guangtai, then at Zhulan, and began to rub his chin, feeling surprised and confused.

Wang Luo felt that Guangtai was not just bragging.

But are you really sure? No, unless Wang Luo's eyes become sharp!

"I'm really surprised. You can even remake this amulet? This is not a prop that can be made by ordinary carving techniques, but you seem very confident."

"Oh~" Wang Luo murmured the meaningless interjection: "In fact, from the beginning I felt that you were different from everyone I had ever met. It was not until this champion lady showed me the statue you sold her that I truly confirmed this."

"Mr. Guangmoss, how much do you know about Arceus? And what do you know about the ruins of the capital of the gods?"

"You should know what I'm talking about. Safety amulets cannot be made without the 'Guardian Stone'. That is the protection given to us by the Great Lord Sinnoh! No one believed this before, but after the development of Zhuqing Village, the stone was lost, and this kind of item can no longer be made, right!"

"The fact that you were able to create those amulets from the Jade Age without the Guardian Stones can only prove one thing: you are a trainer chosen by God!"

"I am so jealous."

"If this is considered being chosen by God," Guang Moss paused, "then there are a lot of people like this in the Valley of Creation in Carlos."

"But it should have been watching you, too."

"Really?" Wang Luo's expression changed at this moment, and his smile was genuine this time!
"I am satisfied with such an answer. Since you are not going to say anything now, just witness it. I will show its power in front of this stage of light! What kind of answer will I get in the end? Tell us after the battle. Miss Zhulan has been waiting for a long time."

"Mr. Wang Luo proposed a Pokémon battle to me before. And the battle has to take place in front of the ruins of the capital. Isn't it strange?"

Zhulan smiled at Guangtai, but when she turned around, the smile was no longer gentle, but full of fighting spirit!
"But as a trainer, once our eyes meet, we have to fight!"

"When you put your heart and soul into challenging a powerful opponent, whether it's a Pokémon or a human, you can let your life shine. That's why I always seek to fight against the strong!"

"Please witness my victory, and then talk to me more about the ruins of the Divine Capital. I really want to know the story here!"

When she mentioned fighting, she became a completely different person, and at this moment, Guangtai heard an ethereal voice.

The sound came from the ruins of the Divine Capital.

Huh—the power of creation spontaneously surged in Guang Moss’s hands. It was a gift from the Guardian Stone, a power strongly related to Arceus. At this moment, strange cracks began to appear in the ruins of the God’s Capital, and the distorted light of time bloomed on the Three Illusions Stage, and then—

Like a gushing tide, a large number of unknown totems flew out from the ruins!
"Annong Anong~!"

The unknown totems ran out in a panic, as if they were "guided" by someone to accomplish something here, and when they were summoned above the battlefield, they blinked their eyes and saw the light moss.

Then, the atmosphere suddenly became cold!

"Ah! It's you!"

Only a small part of these summoned unknown totems are the unknown totems near the ruins of the Divine Capital, and the rest are the totems that escaped from the last Crystal Tower incident!

They come from the Crossing Ruins and the Alufu Ruins! That is also a place that is strongly related to the God's Capital Ruins!

Seeing Light Moss raise his hand, the unknown totems that had been causing trouble in the Crystal Tower were suddenly frightened, and hurriedly left the team and tried to run back to the space-time rift, but were stopped by other God's Capital Totems!
Hey, hey, you clearly heard the voice of "Sinnoh Lord", why do you dare to skip work!
"Annon~"

Among a group of God Capital Totems, there is a Totem that is sleeping soundly - Unknown Totem E. When it opens its eyes again.
Hey, why are you doing it to me again? It's still in the ruins of the capital, so it's okay!

The unknown totem E floated down quickly, and the totems of other gods followed suit, and these character totems formed a word.

In an instant, the symbolic slate in the Light Moss backpack flew out automatically, and together with the unknown totems, formed the same word in mid-air.

Arceus——Arceus!
"Hey, what happened?"

The sudden appearance of unknown totems interrupted the battle between Zhulan and Wangluo. The ancient merchants and Sinnoh champions looked at the unknown totems emerging from the ruins in disbelief, and Wangluo was even more surprised:

"I've been in this ruins for a long time! I've never seen so many unknown totems! There shouldn't be any unknown totems in that ruins!"

"They... do they want to convey some message to us? No, not to us, but to you!" Wang Luo looked at Guang Tai, and at this time his thoughts were scattered, vaguely thinking of certain possibilities, which made Wang Luo tremble with excitement.

Could it be that the Great Lord of Sinnoh really wants to be here to witness it?
As expected! The reason why this situation did not occur during the first battle here was because the "chosen people" had not yet arrived!
"Ms. Zhulan, you are indeed a trainer chosen by God."

Yes, that's how it should be!

As his own descendant, he can freely investigate myths and is implicitly given the mission of fighting against the corrupted Galaxy Team. The duty of a champion is to shoulder the peace and stability of a region, and his own descendant, who is hated by Arceus, can achieve such an achievement.
Isn't this the protection of Arceus?
Therefore, his great-granddaughter has long been watched by Arceus! She will embark on the path of becoming stronger, one day. Wang Luo's eyes became serious and he began to think.

He suddenly thought of a new future, but that future would definitely not have a place for him.

"Hmph, if I can't do it, it's not bad to let you challenge 'it'. If it's you, it's better than the guy before."

Zhulan frowned: "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Is it related to Arceus?"

Guangtai heard the "truth" from the voices of those divine characters.

"Bond. Let me see the bond."

"The 'trust' with Pokémon is the source of the 'power' now. Life will shine more brightly. Let's make the 'Pendant of the Thousand Universes' and give it to the right person! Those who show trust and bond and win will receive a special gift."

"Then, stand at the center of the stage of light."

After interpreting the meaning of these unknown totems, Guangtai stood there in a daze.

Wait!
In the original plot, one must carry "Arceus" to trigger the creation plot hidden in the ruins of the Gods' Capital. But now, Arceus personally sends out unknown totems to deliver the message. Does it want to actively open this content?
In other words, what Wang Luo had always said, "Show it your power", has now come true!
This is an unexpected situation!
The message that the Guardian Stone conveyed to me before was...?!
Is that Arceus speaking?
"Arceus, in the current world, are there really two of them?"

This was a small guess made by Guang Moss before.

Arceus of the Migina era fell into a deep sleep due to a serious injury a thousand years ago. That might be the Arceus who gave the ancient Sinnoh heroes their powers.

However, in the age of Xicui, there was still an Arceus in the Palace of Origin in heaven.

In other words, could it be another incarnation who is taking over the class?
After all, there is an alpaca clone in every world, and each alpaca has a different personality! This is a well-known fact!
For example, Arceus also exists in the labyrinth world, and that Arceus can be called the king of slacking. Even when Dialga turned evil and created a dark future, he didn't come out to help. In the subsequent works, he only knew how to ask people to fight the BOSS, and he just stood on the top of the tower and watched, playing badly the whole time. Even Rayquaza fought side by side with Deoxys, but it was still slacking.

The alpaca in the special world has a completely opposite personality to that in the maze world. It is extremely violent, and will destroy everyone and reopen the world if a disagreement occurs. It is simply the King of the West. Compared to it, Giratina is just a good kid. This time it's not about "the violent clone being exiled", but because the original body is even more violent than the clone, so Giratina was probably beaten away.

This would explain why Arceus in the past did not punish Giratina and Moro for their rebellion, but instead directly pulled a newcomer from the future to fight against them.

Hmm. There is suspicion of slacking off, but more importantly, the substitute seems to take the disappearance of "life" less seriously than the original one, and is more looking forward to seeing things like "trust" and "bond" from others. Bringing the humans of the new era over is also to show the people of Xicui the importance of bond, so that humans and Pokémon can reconcile with each other, rely on each other and live together on this planet.

In contrast, the one sleeping in Mitina values life very much and would even sacrifice his own life to save the world.

"That's it, then, you two."

Guangtai looked helplessly at the two people who were shocked:

"It happened suddenly. I understood the language of the unknown totem. This is my personal ability."

"If you wish, then next, your battle must demonstrate your strength to Arceus. Yes, that great Sinnoh, that god is watching you!"

"From now on, Mr. Wang Luo, you are also a trainer chosen by God. This is the opportunity it gives you, only once."

"And there's a high probability that you only have this one chance."

"Besides, I'm not sure what you're going to gain from this fight."

It's not like the world was created once and then a divine beast egg was given to us, right?
Guangtai no longer concealed it. After all, the "real boss" was going to give Wangluo a chance.

Wang Luo did have terrible ambitions, but he gave up very easily after being defeated. It can be said that he was able to let go easily. And the most important thing, which probably attracted Arceus, was
Wang Luo and his Pokémon have a deep bond and trust!
Even as a hidden villain, this is not false. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that aroused the interest of the Sinnoh Great Lord.

Hundreds of years of pursuit are actually a kind of tempering and test for him?

"Mr. Wang Luo, you know that the emblem on the stage of the God's Capital Ruins depicts the Pokémon who created the world, namely Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina."

"Well, I will tell you the answer you are looking for, which is the true function of the Stage of Light."

"Come and listen to the hidden story of the gods."
