Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 250 The Death of the Researcher, a Grand Serialized Novel!

A golden coffin monster appeared, shaking its four jet-black arms and emitting a malicious laugh. Guided by Asura, it launched an attack on the Aegislash!

Ghetsis uses language to deceive the masses, while the other sages use force to liberate Pokémon. Asura believes that the use of force is necessary. The person in front of them is very powerful, and if his actions are not blocked first, then the researchers of Team Plasma will face a very dangerous predicament.

The person before me has ideological differences with Lord N. This difference and confrontation is like a reenactment of the legend of the United States. If the other party is indeed another hero, then things will become quite complicated.

Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the method to enter the dream world, manipulate people's dreams, make them want to give up Pokémon in their dreams, tell them all about the greatness of Team Plasma and the beauty of the new world, and deeply imprint it in everyone's hearts!
"Shadow ball!"

Based on the analysis, the giant sword Pokémon in front of us should be Ghost/Steel type!
This is the answer analyzed by the Great Universe Monster of Akromar!
Therefore, using ghost-attribute attacks is extremely effective!

"That huge, sturdy shield doesn't look like it's just for show. If the move just now was a defensive skill, then such skills generally can't be used twice in a row."

The chances of securing a second chance are very low. Although it's not impossible, Asura has his own clever plan. After all, the Coffin of Death has four arms!
"Evil wave!"

The Shadow Orb and the Dark Thunderbolt attacked the Shielded Swordsman one after the other, and the latter raised its great shield to block, once again using the King's Shield!
The giant golden shield blocked the attack, and Riolu leaped up on Aegislash!

Waves of evil!

This time, there's no need to imitate. Riolu learned the cosmic version of Dark Pulse from Deoxys, and with the boost from the Star Seal and Star Aura, this Dark Pulse is no ordinary move!
In an instant, the dark and boundless universe seemed to surround this place. A ferocious aura surged from Riolu's body. The destructive wave from between the stars directly swallowed up the evil wave of Coffin of Death and pushed it forward with even greater power!
"!!!"

Asura was caught off guard and quickly ordered the Coffin of Death to activate its protective mechanism, but as he had said, the Coffin of Death only had four arms.

If it uses two skills in succession, it won't be able to use its new arm to protect itself!
This strike hit the vital point!

"Hmm! Coffin... Did I misjudge? How could that Riolu just now exude such an evil aura? For a moment, I seemed to see the endless dark universe. Can the malevolent aura really affect people's hearts?"

"Is this really supposed to be the Pokémon that a hero possesses?"

"Come out, Symbol Bird!"

Asura opened another Poké Ball, and a one-eyed bird resembling an ancient totem floated out, using Psychic at Asura's command!

The symbol bird has a blue eye and trident-shaped, ear-like structures on both sides of its body. It has a pair of wings and a tail similar to the wings, with four feathers on both the wings and the tail, each feather having blue and red stripes.

It is said that it was once the guardian deity of an ancient city, and it retains the memories of protecting the ancient city. Some people also believe that it is the messenger of the guardian deity!
Riolu was hit by Psychic and was knocked away, but the next moment Aegislash quickly floated over and protected its partner!

"Without the protection of Pokémon, now is a good opportunity."

"Yeah, right!" Lightmoy immediately grabbed a huge piece of concrete and hurled it at Asura!
The special knowledge he gained from the three Divine Pillars—brute force—came in handy at this moment!

At that moment, Asura was terrified and hurriedly retreated. Fortunately, the Coffin of Death arrived in time to save him from being crushed to death!
Asura was utterly astonished: "What incredible strength! He's practically a superman!"

Lightmoss didn't respond to him, but instead used Mind Purification on Dr. Yew and the others, while throwing out an important item!
Radio wave shield!
The harmful information was instantly blocked, and a pale yellow light shield appeared.

At this moment, Professor Yew also gradually recovered. Seeing the researchers and their Pokémon attacking, she immediately engaged in battle, releasing two Triple-level starter Pokémon!
It's the red Flame Warrior King and the blue Greatsword Demon!

"The Oath of Fire, the Oath of Water!"

It's a "combination move!"

Fire Pledge attacks with pillars of fire, while Water Pledge attacks with pillars of water. Combining the two increases their power, transforms the surrounding area into a rainbow field, and makes it easier to trigger additional effects!

The researchers had a total of six Pokémon, and they were locked in a fierce battle with two starter Pokémon!
Two Mischievous Crocodiles, a Cool Leopard, a Dragon King Scorpion, and a Mongoose Slash!
Meanwhile, Mengmengshi, the center of the struggle, showed a pained expression, as if it were having a nightmare. People's hearts are filled with desires and ambitions, which are also a kind of dream. When such a dream appears near Mengmengshi, it will cause its power to go out of control and make those nightmares come true!
It began to spew out jet-black dream smoke, and Makomo and Saeko gradually caught their breath and immediately released their own Pokémon.

"Hmm, these people's Pokémon are really strong. Are they really researchers?"

Makomo looked at Saeko, who was also full of surprise. She carefully examined the researchers and recognized some familiar faces. Meanwhile, one of the researchers opposite her shouted:

"Team Plasma did the right thing. We did a lot of research and put in a lot of effort to liberate Pokémon, and finally found the right way!"

"Saeko, Makomo, your research will only further harm Pokémon. Giving up your research and joining us is the right thing to do!"

"This guy's gone mad." Saeko pushed up her glasses, pursing her lips in frustration, while Makomo pulled out equipment from her white coat pocket and equipped herself with it!
"Quick, use the Vitality Block! We'll use this! Miracle Launcher!"

The two female researchers wore what looked like a duel disk and used energy blocks to temporarily restore their Pokémon's power. However, when it was time to fight further, the Poké Ball on the Lightmoss side automatically opened!
Miss Skirt and Earth Tortoise enter the battlefield!

The Leaf Blade slash accurately knocked the two crocodiles away, while Torterra used a lunge attack. The value of Ground-type close combat is self-evident. The Zangoose Slash was hit head-on and knocked unconscious on the spot!
"Damn, so strong! How did you raise Pokémon to be so powerful? Just how many people have you defeated, and how many Pokémon have you hurt?"

The researcher let out a desperate roar, while the moss simply threw a stone at him, nearly scaring him to death!

"The eyes of a Pokémon that grow stronger are filled with pride, not fear. The real harm is depriving a Pokémon of its right to choose, not growing together. Those of you who don't understand this relationship are the truly pathetic ones."

"People who have closed their hearts! Let me help you find liberation!"

The blue crystal pendant on Guangmo's chest began to glow! The light was so warm and gentle that, in an instant, the researchers of the plasma cluster felt an unprecedented warmth welling up in their hearts, but this was followed by an intense pain.

It was like an internal struggle between ideals and reality, with the echoes of their own minds repeatedly questioning whether their current actions were correct. This caused them to temporarily lose control of their Pokémon, and Lightmoy raised her hand, intending to use Mind Smash!
However, Asura's Pokémon interfered once again!

"Hmm, I don't know what you're going to do, but my gut feeling tells me that what you just did was dangerous."

"You actually used special props to block the dream-making radio waves? Are you even a scientist?"

Asura was slightly out of breath as his symbolic bird used Illusion Ray on the Lightmoss, forcing it to retreat a step.

At this moment, Aegislash and Riolu faced off against Coffin and Symbol Bird respectively!
Riolu's Dark Pulse blasted the Symbol Bird off the ceiling, and Aegislash's shield glowed!
Cannon light cannon!

In his heart, Lightmoss warned the Aegislash!
Do not use contact moves on Cofagrigus! Its ability is "Mummy"! It will cause any Pokémon that comes into contact with it to acquire the same ability as Cofagrigus!
If the "battle switch" feature is lost, Aegislash will be unable to use King's Shield!

Furthermore, Cofagrigus and Cofagrigus are special Pokémon; they are like guardians of the grave and are not afraid of the power of the "King"!

"Whoa, let's take down the ceiling in this battle!"

Makomo has equipped the Miracle Launcher, but rocks have started falling in the area due to the intense battle!
"Hmm, you're too strong. Come out, my other friends!"

Asura saw that her Pokémon was about to be defeated, especially since she couldn't even defeat that Riolu, which was just a Pokémon!
There was really no other way but to open the cloak of the remaining Pokémon, revealing several Poké Balls underneath!
People who don't use the storage system can carry more than six Pokémon, while Team Plasma carries an overwhelming number of Pokémon!
Ten Poké Balls!
"Come forth, Pokémon, now free!"

At Asura's command, the Poké Balls opened automatically, revealing some Pokémon that had been harmed by humans, and others that had been forcibly released and then controlled and manipulated by Ghetsis's subordinates!
Centipede King, Throwing Demon, Babysitter Bug, Toad King, Headband Thug, Dust Mountain, Agile Bug, Nut Dumbbell, Vulture Na, Two-Headed Tyrannosaurus!

A large group of Pokémon surged out, but these Pokémon sensed the kingly aura emanating from Aegislash and became slightly afraid. Only a few Pokémon that had been hurt by humans overcame this fear and launched a frenzied attack on Aegislash!
"Hey." Aegislash stared at Coffin, which was hiding in the Pokémon pack, intending to use a Contact move to remove its ability! As for the Pokémon rushing over, Aegislash couldn't ignore the damage it was inflicting, so it couldn't use its full strength!
Pokémon, stop attacking! They're using you!

Aegislash tried to stop the Pokémon, but only a few slowed their attacks slightly. The rest continued their frenzied, mad attacks. In their eyes, even the kings were enemies that had to be defeated if they followed humans!
Even if they don't quite understand what the King Pokémon are like!

Aegislash also discovered that the ability in the badge Arceus gave it, which was supposed to boost a Pokémon's confidence and power, now seemed to be a negative buff.

Because the Pokémon that have been hurt stand firmly on Team Plasma's side!

A ruler should not differentiate between his subjects; if he truly loves them, he must accept their negative traits as well.

"As a king, one cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of one's people." Asura then launched into a verbal attack: "Nameless Greatsword Pokémon, even you are powerless in this situation!"

"If they are unwilling to listen to your call, then no matter how powerful or idealistic you are, they will not be able to empathize with you. You cannot persuade them; instead, you will only make them angrier!"

"Well, you're absolutely right. Then let the king bear the burden!"

A powerful golden light surged from the Aegislash, and then, to everyone's astonishment, it completed its transformation!
Golden light enveloped the Aegislash's body, making it appear even larger!

"Is this the posture of a king?!"

"That's a legendary Pokémon?!"

Asura and Professor Yew exclaimed in surprise one after the other, while Aegislash simply stood its large shield upright on the ground!

The power of a king, beware!
In King Form, the power of the attack can be ignored, and damage from all sources can be reduced by 50%!

However, if the defensive state is weakened by "Treasure" or "Pokémon Battle", it will be in a state of no defense, and the damage from all sources will be increased by 50%!

"Come on, Pokémons who want to defeat me, attack me to your heart's content! I will show you who is right. If even the voice of the Pokémon King cannot reach your hearts, then where will you vent your anger?"

Aegislash's voice resonated in the hearts of the Pokémon, and it abandoned the battle switch, immediately using King's Guard! This way, it wouldn't have to fear Coffin's contact!

Lightmoss understands Aegislash's feelings.

Since he is a king, he needs to bear certain responsibilities.

Then, let the hero take charge of the battle!
At this moment, Riolu jumped into the air, and the star's aura began to be activated!
Wave missile!
A single wave missile aimed directly at Asura, and attacking the trainer directly was the most effective outcome. Riolu's anger towards Team Plasma was palpable!
At this moment, the two Poké Balls around Lightmoss's waist also began to vibrate. Their inner energy was transmitted to Lightmoss's heart, and they burst out as white light!

Sprout Deer and Axe-toothed Dragon!
They are equally furious with the plasma clusters, and if they were ever misled by these people in the past, now is the time for revenge!
The separation from the trainer, and even the inability to see them again, the past experiences are like a shattered mirror that can never be put back together. This sadness and bitterness are now transformed into the rage of revenge!

"I see, then let's all come at him together!"

Ram + Dragon Claw!

Energy Ball + Crunch!

Sacrifice charge + ultimate impact!

The two Pokémon were exceptionally brave, using all their skills to fight against the Pokémon controlled by Team Plasma. The place was in complete chaos. At that moment, a cold light flew over, trying to knock down the Lightmoss!
Secret attack on key points!

A slashing commander emerged from the darkness, struck the light moss with a single blow, and without hesitation, charged straight at Dream Eclipse!

"That guy attacked from behind!"

Although he possesses various buffs and brute strength, and can barely be considered a super-powerful being in the capital, the growth rate of that cleaving commander was very high, and the power of his sneak attack on vital points was extraordinary!

Speaking of which, Bisharp doesn't really care about martial ethics. After evolving into Pokémon Smite, it has a move called "Smite Slash," which is known as the "Slide Head Slash."

Guangtai saw more and more nightmare-like images around her, and reality seemed to be distorted, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion!

Meanwhile, the Dream Eater was captured by Commander Slash, who was about to take it away immediately. At the same time, in the shadows, a figure appeared on the cracked top floor of the ceiling!
The blue crystal pendant emits a dazzling light!

"That pendant." The figure in the shadows whispered, at the same time blowing a retreat whistle!
The newcomer was none other than "Darkness," who had been following the moss from afar!
When Asura saw that an "ally" had come to help, he immediately nodded in understanding. He was also under a lot of pressure. The young man in front of him had incredibly strong Pokémon. He could only keep up with the young man by having his own Pokémon fight with all their might!
They tried to suppress quality with quantity, but the researchers on the other side couldn't hold on any longer!
Now that we have the goods, let's retreat!
“You guys worked together very well. That guy is the one who’s been following me. Although I haven’t noticed him lately, I thought he’d been scared away.”

Lightmoss took a deep breath, entered a state of mental connection, and then took out the Master Ball!
Please, my friend! Get that Dream Eater back!

The ceiling had completely collapsed due to the battle, and the guy who acted like a ninja appeared in the field of vision of the light moss. He suddenly threw the Master Ball into the air, which immediately attracted everyone's attention!
"That Poké Ball is a Master Ball!?"

Asura looked at the Master Ball. Of course it recognized the ball. It was a precious ball developed in the Kanto region years ago, known as the one that could catch any Pokémon. Only professors in the League were qualified to use it!

So, what kind of Pokémon is inside that ball?

Wait a minute, this young man in front of me also has a seventh Pokémon on him!

not good!

The Master Ball suddenly opened, and a powerful beam of light burst forth from within, shooting into the sky!
Before Commander Pi Zhan could take Meng Meng Shi from underground, the light had already completely engulfed it, and the Radiant Warrior that appeared in the light immediately used a move that countered it!

Attack Form: Brute Force!
Unleash tremendous power to attack your opponent. Your own attack and defense will be reduced!

Want to arm wrestle with Ultraman? His arm strength is 12 tons!

Well, although it's impossible that it really is Ultraman himself, weighing 12 tons, the power of this punch is definitely not weak!
Generally speaking, Psychic-type Pokémon moves are ineffective against Dark-type Bisharp! Therefore, Fighting-type moves are four times super effective against it!
"Now!" Dr. Makomo raised the Miracle Launcher, and a round, medal-like object was launched into the light!
Miracle Launcher, Accuracy Enhanced!

It can greatly increase the accuracy of Pokémon in battle!

Commander Slash originally intended to dodge, but Deoxys's accuracy was enhanced by 6 levels by the Miracle Launcher, so this punch would definitely not miss!

boom!
Commander Slash was nearly knocked unconscious by the punch. It instinctively raised one hand to protect itself and used Iron Wall! However, it was still blasted away by the punch, feeling dizzy and disoriented, and was sent flying through the high-level platform of the research site!
Meanwhile, the one dressed like a ninja, "Dark," one of the Iron Triangle, watched this scene with utter astonishment!
My Bisharp is very powerful. After years of training and hard work, it is impossible for it to be defeated instantly by a Pokémon that looks like it has a psychic attribute!
Yes, although the Pokémon in front of you is radiating light, you can still tell that it has a "psychic" attribute!
Darkness is a superpowered individual with the special abilities to imprison others and teleport, making her extremely sensitive to superpowers!
"What kind of Pokémon is that?! It has such powerful abilities!"

The battle is not over yet!

The Pokémon, shrouded in light and adorned with blue crystal lamps, coalesced into a massive, golden sphere that shimmered with electricity!
Electromagnetic gun!
Darkness was startled and instantly disappeared, while the Commander of the Slash, who had been smashed into the ruins, also took the opportunity to escape!
At this moment, Asura saw that Dream Eater had been retrieved and knew that the operation had been a complete failure. However, at least one important piece of information was brought back: the dream world might actually exist!

This is incredibly important information for the plasma cluster. Perhaps this capture attempt failed, but as long as a second Dream Erosion can be found, the research can continue!

"Lord Asura, I've come to take you away!"

Darkness teleported behind Asura, grabbed Asura, and then teleported away, giving Lightmoss no chance to pursue. The Pokémon were left behind, and only when they looked back did they realize that the person who controlled them had abandoned them once again.

Do you understand? If they truly cared about you, why would they abandon you at such a crucial moment? You were merely tools for them to complete their mission!

Aegislash took the opportunity to talk its way out of the situation, and at that moment, the Pokémon's minds began to break down.

They stopped attacking, but the life force in their eyes seemed to be fading away. They drooped their arms or heads in dejection, and some even fled!
"..." Deoxys descended from the sky carrying Dream Eater, and in that short time, its blue crystal lamp began to flash red.

When Dream Eater woke up while being held by it, the radiant dream in Deoxys' heart made it feel comfortable and happy, and the black smoke rising from its head turned pink again.

Reality was almost dragged into a nightmare, and Deoxys, who had been saved by the Lightmoss, also saved a new Pokémon from the nightmare.

My condition isn't good enough yet. Battles drain my energy quickly, and I need to grow stronger.

However, I'm happy to be able to fight.

Deoxys handed Dream Eater to Lightmoss, then transformed into a red light and entered the Master Ball, returning to Lightmoss's palm.

For Deoxys, the only way it knows to connect with others and explore the meaning of life is through travel and battle!

"Phew, we've been defeated."

Looking at the rival Pokémon lying scattered before her, Professor Juniper collapsed to the ground. It had been a long time since she had ever experienced such an intense battle, where she had simultaneously commanded two Pokémon in one intense engagement.

Fortunately, the Pokémon of Glowmoss joined the battle and quickly defeated the opposing Pokémon. The researchers also fled in defeat, and Glowmoss had no strength left to capture them.

After all, neither Torterra nor Squirtle can use Vine Whip. In fact, there are very few Pokémon that can use Vine Whip. Don't be fooled by its low power; it's actually quite difficult to learn!

"The Coffin and the Symbol Bird are missing." Lightmoss discovered that the two key Pokémon were missing from the defeated Pokémon. Sure enough, the Sage's attitude towards other Pokémon was different from his attitude towards his own Pokémon, which is only human nature.

"The attitude towards other Pokémon is that they are tools and tools to be used, but the attitude towards one's own Pokémon is naturally that they are partners."

"Thank you very much, Dr. Makomo."

"Oh, not at all! It's all thanks to your Pokémon that Mystique wasn't taken away!" Professor Makomo scratched the back of his head. The dreamy girl smiled shyly, but soon her eyes lit up as she looked at the Master Ball.

What exactly is the Pokémon inside that Master Ball?

“Deoxys.” Professor Juniper stood up, wiped the sweat from her brow, and said to Makomo, “A Pokémon from the cosmic heavens, not from our world.”

Makomo's interest was immediately piqued, but the most important thing now was to obtain the Dream Smoke.

After the battle, Mengmengshi had long since regained its senses. It looked to its left and then to its right. Several people here were filled with pure and innocent dreams, which made it happily float in mid-air.

However, if we're talking about the most dreamy
"Huh? This child has taken the initiative to approach."

"Ah, be careful!"

When Guangtai saw Mengmengshi's actions, she suddenly thought of a familiar character, and sure enough, the next moment Mengmengshi put it directly on Makomo's head, as if she had "eaten" her up!
"Whoa ...

Looking at the somewhat "familiar" scene before her, Guangtai thought of Black in the special episode. His Dream Eater was just like that, directly put on Black's head and eat up Black's dreams.

As a doctor who studies dreams, Makomo also has many fantastical ideas in her mind, which is why she attracted the attention of Yumemoshi and went directly to eat at the buffet.

"She's fine. Dream Eater will be down soon. It's consuming dreams," Lightmoy explained. Under Dr. Yew's worried gaze, Dream Eater quickly devoured Makomo's dream and floated up contentedly.

Dr. Makomo seemed to have turned into ashes after being burned to ashes. She was in a daze for a long time before she recovered, but the next moment she jumped up!
"This is amazing! I've never felt my mind so clear before!"

This is also the power of Dream Erosion. By devouring dreams, people can become more focused on thinking. Although this is a terrible thing for artists, it has a positive effect on most people.

"Mewgle seems to like you a lot, now is the perfect time to catch it." Professor Juniper noticed that this Pokémon was very close to Makomo, probably because Makomo had many dreams.

Lightmoss watched the place where Sage Asura disappeared.

"I never expected one of the Seven Sages to be here. That voice in the shadows just now called him... Asura?"

"Is he conducting research in the ruins of a dream? I vaguely remember that in the game, he also seemed to appear in the ruins of a dream at the end."

"However, they don't know about the existence of Device C. Even if they capture the second Dream Eater and get the Dream Smoke, they won't be able to affect people's hearts. But what if Akroma doesn't? That guy should have appeared in Black and White 2. Is he already in contact with Team Plasma?"

"Well, whether in the anime or the manga, Akromar was indeed doing research in Team Plasma from the very beginning; he was a collaborator."

"I hope the C device can be developed soon, otherwise I really don't want to see Akromah come up with some kind of magical machine."

Akromar can even conjure up a dimensional teleportation device, something that Devon Corporation spent countless years figuring out. The fact that he can use it directly in the Sun & Moon arc is simply outrageous.

Akroma's creativity is just as impressive as the Rockets' trio.

Team Plasma ran away, Makomo successfully caught Mosquito, and the abandoned Pokémon once again followed Aegislash. Moss used a Vitality Potion on them, and they seemed to have become a little more trusting of humans.

And on the way back, there was an unexpected surprise.

"These researchers came out in a sorry state, and we felt they must have ill intentions, so we arrested them all."

"Besides, we don't know them, and it's suspicious that they sneaked out from the deeper areas!"

The three superpowered individuals pointed directly at the researchers who were bound up with the plasma cluster, and the researchers resigned themselves to their bad luck:

"We actually encountered superpowered individuals. And there were three of them!"

"I forgot, there are superpowered individuals training here."

Hikari thanked the three psychics and then said to Dr. Makomo:

"These researchers must have in-depth knowledge and understanding of dreams; capturing them is equivalent to obtaining important research data!"

Dr. Makomo: "Ah, that's true, but how can we get them to say it?"

“That’s it!” Lightmoy pointed her palm at one of the researchers.

"Oh! Here it comes, Mindbreaker!" The superpowered Hope's eyes lit up.

One of the researchers exclaimed, "What? Crushing? You, what are you going to do? No, no, don't bite!"

The next moment, the dark side of his heart shattered like a mirror!
The Death of a Darkside Researcher, a Grand Serial!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the other side, Asura, who had fled in a sorry state, looked at the Dream Ruins from afar. Almost none of the researchers who were with him had escaped, which made him sigh repeatedly.

Moreover, he had just felt a change within himself, and the radiance of the blue crystal lingered in his mind.

what is going on
The thought of self-questioning still lingered in my mind, as if I were loudly rebuking myself for my previous actions. However, wasn't it all for the sake of liberating Pokémon?

Should we report the matter of the Dream Ruins and the Dream Smoke? Why do we have to make a choice? Isn't this the obvious thing to do?

Filled with questions, Asura gradually disappeared into the distance, while darkness remained nearby. Watching Asura's departing figure, he thought of the blue crystal pendant from earlier, its light shining upon him once more.

"Psychic abilities? That's troublesome. But we've gathered a lot of information, so it's not a complete loss. We just need to be more careful in the future."

　P.S.: I've been feeling a bit weak lately, so updates will be less frequent. Please forgive me.
