Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 230 The Nightmare of the Fantasy Bridge and the Request from the Battle Company
In Unova, dreams are very important. However, Lightmoy did not expect that, although she had not entered the dream world for some time, she would encounter a Pokémon with a strong connection to dreams tonight.

There's no mistake, it has a light blue body, a yellow belly, crescent-shaped yellow decorations on both sides of its head, and aurora-colored planetary rings on its sides and back. It's the Crescent Pokémon, renowned for bringing sweet dreams and dispelling nightmares.

With its shimmering, gauze-like feathers, it soars through the sky and is known as the embodiment of the new moon – “Creselia”.

In the dream, she only left behind a target location.

Knowing that Lightmoss might have doubts about this, the will of the Tree of Connection, which resides within Lightmoss, promptly sent advice and detailed information:

[Note 1: You've connected with the dream of the legendary Pokémon Cresselia! Connecting with a Pokémon's dream and the world is something most humans can't do, but you've succeeded because you've done the same thing before and have considerable experience.]

[Note 2: Your crystal pendant is the key to connecting you to Cresselia. The voice from beyond the blue crystal seems to be a call from another yellow crystal. Your blue crystal pendant seems to possess its own will; it may be able to communicate with the red and yellow crystals, regardless of the limitations of time and space.]

[Note 3: Cresselia's request: She wants you to save a child. To reach the White Forest, you must cross the Enchanted Bridge, and the child is on the bridge. Cresselia has sensed something different about your soul.]

[Note 4: Cresselia will use a real Crescent Feather as the reward for the quest. She also emphasizes the existence of Pokémon that create nightmares and some kind of Pokémon that turns nightmares into reality; there may be two Pokémon related to nightmares.]

[Note 5: Besides the Fantasy Bridge, Cresselia also senses that a Pokémon in Shippo City is trapped in an eternal nightmare. The echo of its resentment is gradually weakening, foreshadowing the demise of its soul. If you go to the Shippo Museum, you might be able to see it.]

[Join the quest: Complete Cresselia's request.]

[Rewards: Released Jade x3, Spirit Echo x1, Ghostly Gift x1, Radiant Soul x1, Fantasy Power x1.]

[Possible rewards: Nightmare Energy x1, Cosmic Power x1?]

[Note 5: Something seems to have happened on the Fantasy Bridge; there are fluctuations of spirit realm power there. The rest... the Connecting Tree cannot be described.]

"Hmm," Guangtai pondered for a moment, then looked up at the window in the distance. The darkness between the tall buildings had faded, and the pale white morning had arrived.

The Pokémon in the room were sleeping soundly, seemingly having sweet dreams—which was to be expected, as the entire backpack full of Crescent Wing merchandise was glowing!
The blue crystal pendant stopped emitting light, which made Lightmoss even more interested in it.

The blue crystal's will is connected to the citrine, and the light moss vaguely remembers that the one guarding the citrine rough stone seems to be a Cresselia.

The blue crystal knew of the existence of the Dream Goddess; perhaps it sensed something...

"Did Cresselia pass through here last night? Or did the request come from a very far place?"

The Fantasy Bridge. Is that the ghost girl?

That's a very famous urban legend in Unova.

But what's going on in Qibao City?

It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

As the sun rose higher, the hustle and bustle of Feiyun City resumed. This once-rested metropolis came back to life, with its throngs of people flowing like fresh blood between the steel and concrete skyscrapers.

Lightmoss activated its Pokémon device.

As I said before, coming to such a big city as Feiyun, I would definitely collect new materials to make some props. Although I have been busy making medals and dealing with the aftermath of the plasma cluster these past few days, Guangmo is also taking the time to buy materials.

However, the largest department store in the Unova region is not in Suicune City, but in R9 Shopping Plaza on Route 9. It is quite strange that the largest shopping mall in the Unova region is not in the largest city.
Guangtai did not forget the orders she had on hand and the work she was scheduled to do.

Previously in the dream world, regarding the Radiant Flower of the Brilliant King, although the Radiant Flower hadn't bloomed, the Brilliant King was busy developing various Radiant series crops after cooperating with me. The flower was indeed gone, but soon there would be a series of Radiant crops such as radishes, cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, and cauliflower.
But the Radiant Flower still needs to be cultivated. Therefore, finding high-quality soil and synthesizing the Phantom Soil is also a long-term task.

Perhaps such soil exists on the small islands on the border, but I am far from the Hoenn region and it is unlikely that I can travel there by hand drawing an ancient nautical chart. Besides, how would I return after I get there? If I were to use the mythical drawing technique to depict an ancient nautical chart, that thing would be ruined after one use and become a blank sheet of paper.

So, the second task is to promise to bring Suicune a useful item. There's no need to worry about that, as I've already acquired the Mysterious Water Drop and the Water Moisturizer.

However, the best item to enhance water-attribute power is the special orb "Soul of the Sea" from the Whirlpool Islands in the Johto region. Of course, even Moss herself can't get this, but she can try to use the Released Jewel as the raw material and then use enough Mystic Water Drops to "create" it.

The third task is something I've discussed with clients like Cattleya before: new artworks that might be added to the store.

In fact, after acquiring the mythological drawing technique, he was able to create any form of artwork. He also gained knowledge about art from Kojiro, and the bond between the twenty-three tutors was thus passed on to him through Kojiro.
Perhaps this trip to the Feiyun Gallery is quite important; I should be able to learn something, or perhaps create something.

The fourth item is the "Dream Link Knowledge" that I must seek in Unova. This is related to the incredible ground craftsmanship and the technology of connecting to other dimensions. After thinking about it carefully, Guangtai felt that this knowledge was very likely the complete version of the C Device!

The fifth task is about the Arceus set for Bamboo Orchid.

This task is less an order from Bamboo Orchid and more an order left behind by Arceus. After all, it was something Arceus entrusted to us, and we have already received the gifts, so of course we must do our best to complete the task.

As for the measurements of the bamboo orchid, there's no need to worry about that. As long as it's close enough, the Arceus suit will automatically adjust to a suitable size, which is very convenient.

Although the crafting information mentions that the materials needed to create the set can be made by blessing various rare and top-quality fabrics, it now seems that no material is better than the Jade of Release, which is the embodiment of the "will of the masses," and the crafting information has been automatically updated to include this item.

However, the production of the released jade is too low. Before the Tree of Connection regains its strength, I will probably only be able to obtain a small amount of jade.

The people of the Union are divided and have differing opinions. At least Quetzalcoatl was right about one thing: the Union is currently in a state of "war among the people".

But if you think about it carefully, isn't this the case in every other region?

It is only because Unova possesses the wondrous Tree of Connection, which may have truly accomplished the incredible feat of unifying wills and eliminating barriers in ancient times, that Unova yearns to once again unite the power and will of its members.

Therefore, the main body still needs to be made from top-quality fabrics.

Furthermore, the Arceus Set crafting also unlocks "information" about some special fabrics.

[Reinforcement Materials: Reinforced Scissors, Reinforced Thread, Reinforced Needle, Reinforced Cloth, Attribute Stone Tablet.]

[The attribute tablets you possess: Dragon Tablet, Earth Tablet, Monster Tablet.]

[Available: Unique fabric with corresponding attributes, a product that has never appeared in the world before. It should have appeared in the Pasio region, however, this region does not exist in the world.]

About the Pasio region—a distant place that transcends time and space.

Are there similar manifestations of will in other regions, like the Tree of Connection?

Guangtai inexplicably thought of this question.

In the Kanto region, there are evergreen forests.

Johto region, Ruins of Alph? Ho-Oh? Ruins of Kami-no-Kage?

Guangtai felt that Shendu could also be associated with Chengdu, since all her packages were sent from Chengdu. So, in that case, even though she didn't sell many of her products in Chengdu, she became the spokesperson for Chengdu.
While I'd like to say Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza represent the Hoenn region, if we're talking about what truly represents the region's will, it would be the Temple of Awakening and Mt. Vault, corresponding to the birth and end of life.

In the Padiya region, the Crystal Tree in District Zero could be considered a possible candidate? It is said that the secret seasoning originated from under that Crystal Tree and was then transplanted to various parts of Padiya.

However, no matter which region it is, none are as active as the Connecting Tree of Unova. The origin of this mysterious tree remains a mystery, and Unova is also the region with the most local alternate dimensions.

As for Alola's Ultra Hole, although it connects different worlds, those worlds do not belong to the Alola region.

From the Pokémon Center to the shopping mall, carrying a lot of materials, Lightmoss returned to her residence, and sure enough, she saw Nellie as soon as she entered the door.

The little girl was "drawing" Aegislash, holding a sketchbook and copying Aegislash's "special pose".

"Is this a sketch?"

"I'm good at drawing, even though it's just a hobby."

Nari answered, after all, she was from Flying Cloud City, where Unova's largest art gallery and art dojo were located.

It's perfectly normal to develop an interest in painting after being exposed to it from a young age.

"Schools in Flying Cloud City are reopening tomorrow, and today is the last day. Nari, I'm disappointed, but also happy. I've learned a lot about Steel-type moves these past few days." "I also want to catch an Aegislash, but unfortunately, I can't go to other regions."

Nellie fully experienced the power of Aegislash, because while the other Pokémon went out, Aegislash pulled Nellie along with the remaining Deer and Axew at home, showing them a "kingly demeanor".

The two Pokémon were so shocked that their eyes widened. Even after Lightmoss returned, they were still a little dizzy, but deep in their eyes was loyalty!
Wow, what a powerful stance! Is this what it looks like to be blessed by the Pokémon gods?

"What does that stance have to do with steel-elemental moves?"

"Here you go (It's okay, but you look really cool!)!"

Aegislash is a careless person and sometimes likes to show off in front of others. Lightmoss can't do anything about it, but fortunately, Nari is not an outsider. Moreover, this little display of skill has actually inspired the little girl's fighting spirit.

"Yes, staying at school means you can't just go on trips. True steel is forged through countless hammerings."

"So, I plan to first persuade my father to help me transfer to Shuanglong Academy."

"With my grades, this shouldn't be a problem."

Nali pushed up her glasses and revealed a rare confident smile, the kind of confidence that comes from being a top student.

As the future student council president of Blueberry, Nelly's academic performance at the Pokémon School in Flying Cloud City is already among the best, consistently ranking in the top five in the entire school.

I transferred to Shuanglong Academy to put some academic pressure on myself so that I could make a name for myself when I enrolled in Blueberry Academy later.

"Is there still no news about the owner of these two Pokémon?"

"Not for now. I will take them to the corresponding cities because I have some work to do next."

"Is that so? How pitiful. You must be worried about your master's condition too." Nari looked at the two Pokémon. The Sapling seemed disappointed and angry, chirping softly, its words full of incomprehension.

The Axe-toothed Dragon, on the other hand, seemed dazed, with a hint of sadness in its brow, as if it had forgotten many things.

One after another, their companions left, and they had thought they would be able to wait for their owner, but now there was no news at all, which caused them to have negative emotions.

Lightmoss: "If you have nowhere to go, follow me. But if you want to return to your hometown, I will take you there too."

The Axefang Dragon didn't react much; it seemed hesitant, while the Sprout Deer let out a soft whistle.

It expressed its attitude.

It wanted to return to its hometown of Fukiyori City, the city where its trainer had lived and where it was born. In any case, it wanted to return to the land that had given it birth.

The appearance of the Sprout Deer changes with the seasons. In the Unova region, where the seasons are distinct, many people observe the Sprout Deer's antlers to feel the changing seasons. It also changes its habitat with the seasons, and people use its antlers to perceive the changing seasons.

Fukiyoshi is a city where flowers and leaves gather in the wind, and the four seasons are distinct, so even without migrating, one can enjoy a peaceful life there.

I've been away from my hometown for too long; it's time to go back.

Moreover, I must know where my master has gone, and whether he has really left Fukiyo City.

“Maybe the owner of the Axe-Fang Dragon is a student from Twin Dragon Academy,” Nali suddenly said, but then shook her head: “However, it’s unlikely. This Axe-Fang Dragon has a very high growth rate. It doesn’t feel like an ordinary student could raise it.”

Guangtai looked at Nali thoughtfully.

Well, it's not very convincing for you to say that. Although your Scizor was a gift from your father, judging from how you rubbed the Flying Pills, your father's training level is obviously not as high as yours. So, in the end, you are the one who bred it better.

And aren't you a student too? A trainer-type trainer or a cram school elementary school student?

If Nari were to transfer to Twin Dragons Academy, would she encounter the Dragon King Du Ruo from Blueberry Academy beforehand? But that doesn't seem to concern her.

"By the way, this is for you."

Lightmoss also gave Nari a medal.

There are three medals left, and we cannot make any more until we obtain new Release Jade.

"A medal made by a superpowered individual?"

"Consider it a talisman or a gift. It can provide some help in your growth process, Nellie. If you hear voices from within yourself or from the world, think about them. The relationship between you and your Pokémon will also change slightly."

Nari began to examine the medal with great curiosity.

What is it made of?

It feels like some kind of mineral, but there's something strange about it.

“Thank you!” Nari said politely.

Guangtai waved her hand: "This afternoon, Gym Leader Yati from Feiyun City invited me to the Feiyun Gallery. There might even be a gym battle. Although I declined, I owe him a favor, so I have to go and fight."

Guangtai was giving instructions for the afternoon, but she felt a little bad about leaving Nari here all the time, so she invited her to watch the battle together. Perhaps she could learn something from it, just like in the last battle.

This kid really enjoys battling. After all, he's one of the future Elite Four from Blueberry Academy, which is one of the largest academies in Unova. If we put this Elite Four in the Unova region, he'd be considered pretty good. He'd probably be at the level of a Gym Leader.
However, the Pokémon suddenly started beeping.

This wasn't a question from someone in the customer group, but a message from an unfamiliar account, though the account ID clearly had the note "[Battle Company]" next to it.

"I apologize for bothering you. We are a battle company from the Unova region, specializing in developing battle items, and we also assist other companies in developing and upgrading items such as Poké Balls."

"We would like to discuss with you the digital licensing of combat items and collaborative development."

Guangtai raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's a gaming company. I've had employees from gaming companies before, and this apartment was even introduced to me by someone from one of them.

Ye Zi also mentioned that the gaming company seems to have updated several gaming items on the electronic gaming software, but it's stated that these are beta versions and they will contact the item developers.
So that's how it is. They've come knocking on our door. The Battle Company's building is right at the corner of Fashion Street.

However, they were unaware of their true identities, and
After a moment's thought, the moss replied:
"Electronic licensing might be worth discussing, as long as you can offer a sufficient price."

"However, I'm sorry to say that regarding the collaborative development of certain items, I have already entered into a limited collaboration with Devon Corporation in the Hoenn region."

The other party seemed to have not expected this reply, but they did not keep Guangtai waiting for long, as they soon sent a new message.

"In that case, we would like to have an online tripartite discussion with you and Devon."

"We can offer a sufficient price! The appearance of some brand-new items will overturn the rules of combat in the entire gaming world, and we are very optimistic about the future prospects of these combat items!"

Meanwhile, on a floor of the Fashion Street Building, President Shinnosuke, dressed like a cleaner, was in a meeting, glaring and criticizing some senior executives for believing they had lost their business acumen.

Devon Corporation and Battle Corporation are cross-regional competitors, and they have many similarities in their businesses! They both focus on developing items related to Pokémon training and battles, just with different emphases!
For the battle companies, Devon Corporation is a business competitor, but since Devon Corporation's business scope is not in the Unova region, there is no business conflict. However, when it comes to developing new battle items, they are even faster than the battle companies!
If this continues, won't Devon become a super-large company on par with Silvercorp, Marocomon Group, and the Ether Foundation?

Devon originally seemed to be in the energy sector, and its scale was about the same as Angel Company in the Almia region, but now it has grown bigger and bigger!
What truly crushes you isn't your competitors, but those from other industries!

In a corner of the meeting room, Ms. Keiko, who had previously received help from Hikari, had a rather subtle expression.

The prop craftsman's account ID that appears in the video.

Hmm...that looks familiar! Isn't that him?
She secretly opened the PokéDevice and checked it with some disbelief.
