Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 253 The Dyeing Effect of the Shining Amulet

Of course, having finally returned to the dream world, Lightmoss naturally wanted to try out the dream projection ability she had obtained before.

Through projection, one can project one's creations in one's mind or dreams into the dreams and minds of others. At the same time, one can also create unique props that allow them to come into reality through dreams. This is clearly a superior ability of dream treasure hunters.

Now the restriction of only being able to take one item out of the dream is almost gone, but the key point is to project special items.

The moss concentrated its energy, and soon a lottery ticket appeared in its hand.

[Item: First-come, first-served voucher.]

[Description: It looks very much like a supermarket gift card, with a red and white Poké Ball pattern printed on it.]

[Effect: Can only be used once in battle. The user will always attack first, ignoring the opponent's priority skills.]

The item that gives you the upper hand in battle is far superior to the First Strike Claw in terms of stability. It can be crafted in reality using the Mystic Inscription Technique after being projected through a dream, which will increase the number of usable inscriptions.

Lightmoss then randomly projected several other special items:
[Props: GB player.]

[Description: A music player that plays special songs. A switch allows you to toggle songs.]

[Unique Effect: Super Music – Allows you to play unique music to gain buffs or enhancements. Playing this music may attract the attention and favor of musicians.]

[Note: The GB player in the dream includes special music from almost all regions, making it quite different from the original player.]

[Knowledge of music and rhythm can be gained through special performances, concerts, or conversations with specific musicians.]

This device can be used to craft items such as a metronome, ukulele, music box, flute of dedication, flute of infinity, flute of the sun, flute of the moon, mystery music box, song stone, tambourine, and electric guitar. It also grants special melody knowledge.

[Item: A letter of encouragement.]

[Description: A letter mailed to someone, filled with encouragement and expectations.]

[Effect: Confidence +100%, Perseverance +20%, Steadfastness +20%. When held by a Pokémon, activates when its HP is below one-third; the power of its main type move is greatly increased.]

[Item: Shining Amulet]

[Description: Having this makes it easier to encounter Shiny Charms with Shiny colors.]

[Effect: Increases the chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon.]

[Note: The special effect of the charm can be unlocked in Deer Town. This is Professor Juniper's latest research, which is closely related to the origin of Pokémon. It is said that the charm itself is made of meteorite and emits an mysterious aura.]

Lightmoss tested the items, gave the letter of encouragement to Riolu, and the first-strike ticket to Waterpuff, then watched Riolu battle Waterpuff and the others.

Riolu used Quick Attack!
However, Bo Dang Shui, who held the first-mover advantage, shook his big head and spewed out a powerful burst of steam!

The water vapor attack was extremely fast, so fast that even a flash of lightning couldn't react in time, and it was hit head-on! Riolu's small body was in great danger after being hit once, and at this moment, Moss noticed that the power of the First Strike Ticket was gradually decreasing.

A card that can only be used once in battle, somewhere between science and mysticism, and is essentially a product of mystical science.
The battle continues!

A moment later, a powerful force suddenly surged from Riolu's body!

The power of fighting-attribute moves is multiplied by 1.5 at this time!
"In other words, now all Pokémon of all types, as long as they carry a Letter of Encouragement, can activate their own near-death stun mode, just like activating 'Blaze,' 'Torrent,' or 'Overgrow.'"

Riolu fired a Wave Missile, which, amplified by Star Aura, pushed the attack back directly. This surprised the blue-haired puppy in front of it, as it was one of the strongest Pokémon the puppy had ever encountered!
It's much stronger than Zoroark! It's just too fragile!

"Alright, that concludes the test. How are you all feeling?"

"Woof! (Feels really awesome!)"

"Wow~ (That's really great!)"

The two Pokémon stopped fighting.

Aside from the battle here, Deoxys was guided by Calyrex to the Meditation Labyrinth, which was originally created for Mewtwo to train Psychic Pokémon.

When the test battle ended, Riolu's body began to become ethereal, a sign that it was time to enter a dream.

"By the way, hasn't Mewtwo come in recently?"

Upon returning from the Meditation Labyrinth, Calyrex answered Lightmoss's question: Mewtwo hasn't entered the Dream World since heading to Oblivia, probably because it's been searching for eternal life.

Next came the time to say goodbye.

"It seems we'll have to leave again this time, but with the Dream Smoke, I can come here as I please before it's completely depleted, without any more restrictions."

Looking around at the floating islands, more and more smaller floating islands are connected, and the main floating island is also growing larger and larger due to the constant invitations from the Lady Crown King, almost like a continent floating in the dream world.

Moreover, the Pokémon were all doing their own thing; they weren't just wandering around aimlessly. While some Pokémon were watching battles or training in the dungeons, most were focused on their own tasks.

Grass-type Pokémon are focused on cultivating vegetables in the fields, while Rock and Fighting-type Pokémon are building huts. Many stone huts have sprung up on an open space not far from the workshop.

Steel-type and Electric-type Pokémon were seen carrying items from other Sky Islands. Lightmoss even spotted a sizzling Tourmaline, indicating that some Pokémon came from the Tourmaline Cave.

Flying and Normal type Pokémon are busy planting trees, while Ice, Water, and Ground type Pokémon are digging holes to create lakes, fountains, and cold caves.

Lightmoss instructed Calycerin that Team Plasma was searching for dreams. Hadn't they encountered Zoroark before, N-sensei's? Lightmoss was worried that Team Plasma would start with that Zoroark and enter this world through its dreams.

Even if Professor N himself sees the dream world as a paradise for Pokémon, the people under his command don't think so!
“Hmm! I will be careful. Although the powerful forces on the Sky Island have all disappeared, I am the Crane Queen, the King of Abundance who rules Galar, and I will never allow a mysterious organization to run rampant here.”

Calyrex has recovered some of its strength, after all, it has a large number of Pokémon that worship it.

"By the way, this is for you."

Guangtai handed the GB player to Leiguanwang: "This thing can play some nice music. It has a lot of music on it. After listening to it, you will have some positive benefits."

"How to use it"

The dream faded away, and that beautiful world vanished as if it were an illusion.

Lightmoss woke up in the early morning, stretched, and saw that Riolu beside her was also gradually waking up.

Today I still need to continue making C-devices for Makomo.

Meanwhile, in the dream, the Crowned King was fiddling with the music player in his hand with a puzzled look. After pressing the button according to the instructions of the Lightmoth, the music player suddenly played extremely wonderful music!

Ugh! What's that sound? What does it feel like?
My solitary mission, my solitary future?!

This tragic and heroic feeling, as if embarking on the road to a decisive battle, is accompanied by epic music.
Mukyuu Tana, I'm coming to kill you!

The music playing now is from Route 10 in the Unova region!

[Music plays: Unova Route 10.]

[Effect: Increases all stats by one level, all stats +25%, Faith +50%, Action +100%!]

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.

"My bond with Dr. Makomo and Dr. Yew has greatly increased!"

Three days passed quickly, and the development progress of Device C was greatly accelerated!
Makomo stated that, based on the current progress, the test version of the C device can indeed be produced within ten days!

The remaining part falls under Dr. Makomo's domain. How to connect to the waveguide, how to integrate dreams with reality, and how to utilize dream smoke as a usable energy source for the device—these require several days of meticulous calculations. During this process, Makomo's sister, Matsuru, will assist her in this part of the research.

As is well known, Unit-01 is generally more powerful than the later mass-produced units. Dr. Makomo had many ideas she wanted to realize on Device C, and she enthusiastically described that grand blueprint.

Wi-Fi connectivity, wireless connectivity, and infrared connectivity; instant messaging; connection; world synchronization; emotion testing; investigation radar; and even matching miracle transmitters.

"With so many features, it would probably take more than ten days to install and test them all, and I don't know anything about these things."

Guangtai rubbed his temples and suggested to Dr. Makomo that they should temporarily "cripple" those functions that were not needed.

For some reason, during her conversations and collaborations with Dr. Makomo, Hikari gained the following knowledge:
[Gained: Knowledge of global communications.]

[Description: This knowledge enables better communication and interaction between people. You can also act as a "communicator," allowing certain Pokémon that require trade for evolution to evolve through your power. You can also communicate between different worlds. Furthermore, this knowledge is applicable to the development of the C-device.]

[Craftable item: Connecting rope.]

[Note: Complete knowledge of the C-device development could not be obtained from Dr. Makomo due to some strange spacetime force. Additional information may be obtained once the C-device is completed.]

Additional information was restricted by some strange spacetime force. Lightmoy thought that there were many incredible things about Unova, and the C-device was indeed related to spacetime. Its many functions allowed people to travel freely between several worlds. Theoretically speaking, this involved the authority and abilities of Dialga and Palkia.

This is the first time that Guangtai has seen knowledge protected by spacetime; this intellectual property is truly impossible to obtain!

Furthermore, if the connection function of the C device is an artificial waveguide, does that mean that by switching between different waveguides, we can even travel through more worlds, or even travel through time?

Therefore, in order to ensure the integrity of the timeline, this device must be developed by Dr. Makomo?
No matter how the process changes, the result must be the same. Thinking about it this way, perhaps it is the Dream Tree that protects Dr. Makomo's intellectual property.

Is it possible that the C device could become the front-facing device for the Arceus phone?
Dr. Makomo was somewhat disappointed: "Oh, is that so! I was thinking that the first product had to be excellent. Well then, let's do it your way."

"If I have the chance in the future, I'll install even more systems. Ah, my dreams keep coming back! I can't even think straight!"

"Anyway, thank you so much! Your technical skills are truly amazing! I wish I had an assistant like you; many of my dreams could come true so quickly!"

Makomo's eyes were full of affection, but it wasn't romantic love; she simply wanted to lure Hikari to her side to help develop more machines.

"If you have nothing to do after you're done with your work, why not join my research team?"

Light Moss: "No, that won't work."

"Ugh! How heartless." Makomo sighed. She had already guessed this answer. After patting her cheeks, she regained her energetic attitude.

"Fine! Anyway, you can come find me anytime if you change your mind! I'll make good use of your knowledge and skills from now on. Come back here in ten days to pick up Device C!"

After saying goodbye to Makomo and Truffle, the Aegislash flew back into the distant sky.

Using his spiritual power, he confirmed that there were no members of Team Plasma around. The guy dressed like a ninja was probably one of the Dark Iron Triangle members.

That guy had been following me ever since I left Flying Cloud City, but he must have been quite far away to avoid being discovered by the Shielded Sword Monster.

The blue crystal did not issue any warning, indicating that the other party was indeed not present.

We got into Dr. Yew's car and passed through Tangcao Town, a town with two musicians and also a location where Team Plasma gave a speech in the game. However, Team Plasma doesn't currently pay attention to such rural towns; they are active in big cities.

Guangtai wondered if he should visit the two musicians in Tangcao Town when he returned.
So, they quickly passed through Tangcao Town, and their final destination was Luzi Town.

The hometown of heroes, the place where it all began. In the special episode, there is actually an unnamed town next to Deer Town, and the protagonist, Birk, moved from the neighboring town.

The same is true here. There are many villages and towns around Luzi Town, and Luzi Town is close to the sea. The kind-hearted tide breeze blows gently over this remote town.

"These Pokémon can live carefree here. There are many fruit trees planted in the back mountains, and the terrain is diverse. There is also a river that flows into the sea, making it an ideal habitat for Pokémon."

"By the way, there are two things I'd like to entrust to you."

After entering the research institute, the Pokémon were taken to the back mountain of the institute. Professor Yew suddenly mentioned that she wanted to give some items to Lightmoss, and soon she took out two items.

"This is the Pokédex, which is both a recorder-like device and a handheld database. It can facilitate trainers' adventures and allows them to access information about Pokémon through scanning or manual searching."

"Our job as Pokémon professors is to entrust the Pokédex to different trainers to collect and organize data on Pokémon and create detailed information for each Pokémon."

"And this is my latest research, the Shining Amulet."

"Having this charm makes it easier to encounter Shiny Pokémon. After researching many Shiny Pokémon, I came to some conclusions, especially in nature reserves. Therefore, I made this item. As for whether it works or not, I can only say that the encounter rate of Shiny Pokémon is still too low; they are too rare."

"I believe that the appearance of some Shiny Pokémon is related to fluctuations in magnetic fields, so the charm also uses the corresponding technology. It is essentially a detection tool that can detect the special wavelengths that Shiny Pokémon possess, thereby attracting them to meet the charm holder."

[Item: Shining Amulet (Reality)]

[Description: A magical sparkling charm that makes it easier to encounter Shiny Pokémon after acquiring it. A gift from Professor Juniper.]

[Effect: Increases the chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon.]

[Bonus: The amulet from the dream has been projected onto the real-world amulet! The amulet's unique effect has been unlocked!]

[Unique Effect: Projects the Shiny Charm from the dream into the correct location, thus imbuing the real-world Shiny Charm with special powers. By using special powers on it, such as Psychic/Creation/Aura, you can "re-judge" the Pokémon, allowing it to switch between its shiny and normal colors.]

[Note: After a Pokémon becomes Shiny, you can obtain some unique materials that are only available to Shiny Pokémon, such as scales from a red Gyarados and golden scale powder from a golden Volcarona. The ability to re-evaluate does not apply to Pokémon that are currently hatching.]

Eh?
This seems interesting?
The new unique effect is "dyeing"? And this function is quite useful. It can obtain some rare materials from Pokémon without affecting the Pokémon itself, and it can be changed back after the judgment is completed.

If I can't get a shiny Pokémon, I'll just modify it myself, right?

Lightmoss held the amulet, looked at the Shielded Sword Monster beside her, and then used the Shining Amulet.

In an instant, the Aegislash's body began to turn black, transforming from a golden greatsword into a black greatsword, while the white blade suddenly turned a terrifying blood red!

"Huh? (Why did your body change color?)"

"Huh?!?!" Professor Yew was dumbfounded: "...You turned into a Shiny Pokémon! What did you just do?"

"I just used my superpower a little bit." Lightmoss casually brushed it off, and the Shining Amulet made a second judgment, turning the black Shield Sword Monster back to gold.

The Aegislash touched its body and found that nothing had changed.

But the black form just now was pretty cool!
The Aegislash raised its ribbon hand and made a thumbs-up gesture!

"Wait a minute, this can't be brushed off with superpowers! I'm the developer of Shiny Charm. You know, while shiny Pokémon aren't necessarily stronger than their regular counterparts, they've clearly undergone some kind of natural stimulus to transform into that form. This is extremely important for research into the origins of Pokémon!"

"In short, could you demonstrate it again? What kind of superpower is that golden ripple power you showed earlier?"

However, at that moment, the institute's doors were opened.

"Sorry! Is Professor Yew back? I've come to collect my Pokémon as promised!"

A spirited young woman with a single ponytail strode in, only to pause in surprise when she saw Guangtai.

"Ah!" The girl's eyes lit up.

"He's a celebrity!"
