Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 259 Becoming a New Friend, Land Cloud!

Magic, isn't it amazing!
Of course, this was incredibly incredible for Saito, a psychic, but for Land Cloud, that attack had already enraged it!
Although it was already in a state of extreme anger! It was in a state of extreme anger, and it was angry all day long!

[Incoming Mission: Help the God Buried in the Desert!]

[Rewards: Released Orb x4, Abundant Soil x10, Sunbeam x1, Blessing of Abundance x?, Unknown Badge x?, Unique TM (Earthquake/Scorching Sandstorm/Supernatural Power)!]

[Description: The Land Cloud, the god of abundance hidden within the ancient city, has become enraged due to the invasion of ancient spiritual power. Why is the ancient spirit so angry? What is releasing signals within the ancient city that enrages it? Defeat or appease the Land Cloud, and find the room where the ancient spirit resides!]

Since it had been knocked to the ground, Land Cloud took the opportunity to slap its hands on the ground!
The power of the earth!

Unleash the power of the earth beneath your opponent's feet. Sometimes this lowers their Special Defense!
The Earth Cloud unleashed a shockwave, creating pillars of stone and the aura of the earth to attack its opponent, causing the ground beneath its feet to tremble violently! The entire ancient city seemed to shake, and the first thought that came to Lightmoss's mind was...
The ancient city is really well-constructed. How come the floor slabs didn't collapse even after using such techniques?
Upon receiving the telepathic command from the Lightmoss, the giant tree on the Earth Tortoise's back suddenly shook, and countless flying grass blades spun and shot out!

Flying leaf sharp knife!

Faced with the Grass-type attack, the Landorus, which had been knocked to the ground, erected a pale green light shield to defend itself. However, Torterra's attack would not stop easily. The ancient god in front of it obviously did not understand this, so Torterra opened its mouth.

Seed Machine Gun!
The Seed Guns unleashed an even more ferocious barrage of attacks, blasting forward like a storm. Landorus's shield shattered, and the time it had been holding off passed. It was now being suppressed head-on by countless Seed Guns. However, as a high-level, near-legendary Pokémon with its own legend, it was clearly not going to be defeated so easily.

Not to mention that it showed its great power in the anime, going toe-to-toe with Cynthia's ace Garchomp!

Thus, amplified by the ancient city's spirit, which surged like a raging storm, Land Cloud directly clapped his hands together while facing the infinitely rapid-fire seed machine gun!
Sharp stone attack!

Numerous sharp rocks were created out of thin air to counter the Seed Gun, and the Landorus, in a frenzy, used all its power to unleash a fierce barrage forward, quickly blocking the rapid-fire attack of the Torterra's "Leaf Blade + Seed Gun"!

"This is when you have to gang up on it! That's it, suppress it!"

Lightmoss threw out three Poké Balls!

Aegislash, Miss Skirt, Riolu!

"Miss Skirt, clear the fog!"

First, clear out the Invisible Rock!
A gentle breeze swirled around, and the dance of flight knocked down all the invisible rocks floating in mid-air!
"Woo!"

Even though Landorus was in a rage, it was startled to see a group of Pokémon charging towards it!
Shouldn't we fight them one by one?
His muscles and brain, controlled by rage, were completely incapable of thinking, but at the very least, he couldn't let these Pokémon attack him!
Then, Land Cloud clapped its hands again, and a large sandstorm was generated on the spot, turning into a scorching hot quicksand hurricane!
Hot Sandstorm attacks opponents with scorching sand and strong winds. Sometimes it can inflict a burn effect!
Regardless, let's give you a batch of negative buffs first!
"Give!"

The Shielded Sword Monster raised its great shield and, facing the scorching storm, assumed a "King's Stance" on the spot!
Shining golden lightning crackled, transforming the Aegislash into a golden greatsword. In its defensive stance, it ignores the impact of any of the opponent's attacks and reduces all damage from all sources by 50%!

Then, the King's Shield!
Miss Skirt and Riolu hid behind Aegislash's giant shield. Frosty air emanated from Miss Skirt's leaves, while Riolu's Aura was ready to unleash its power!

The scorching sandstorm trapped the three Pokémon. Landorus drew power from the surrounding earth and finally took to the skies again. This time, its target was very clear: it bypassed the rapid-fire machine gun bullets and charged directly at the smoky moss!

"I absolutely cannot let that strange magical twig shoot me down again!" This was the only thought in Earth Cloud's mind, which was controlled by the ancient spirit!
A giant orange-yellow energy arm was raised high!
Arm hammer!

Swing your powerful, heavy fist to inflict damage on your opponent. Your speed will decrease by one level!
Wild Pokémon will attack their trainers. Sometimes they are also very smart, knowing that once the trainer falls, many Pokémon will lose their command and become disorganized!

However, Lightmoss is no ordinary trainer!
The orange-yellow energy arm slammed down, creating a shockwave on the ground, but then stopped in mid-air!
Lightmoss dropped the cornflower branch and used both hands to block the "arm hammer"!
"La Dong?!"

Land Cloud stared wide-eyed in disbelief as its attack was blocked by a human!

Seriously, are you even human?!

Moreover, the state of the moss made the land cloud suddenly feel intimidated by its "momentum" and "power"!
It exhibited a timid and panicked reaction, and even while still angry, it still felt fear!

This is the moment when the hero's knowledge is activated!

"Hey!"

In that instantaneous pause, an attack blast was launched from within the scorching sandstorm!
Wave missile!
Aura from the stars amplifies damage against any Pokémon by 1.2x, and if the opponent has a buff, it deals an additional 1.5x damage!

Even though Landorus's attribute is resistant to fighting, it still wobbled in mid-air after being hit by this wave of missiles, and then Miss Skirt's attack was already upon it!

Ice spin!

With a thin layer of ice on its feet, it spins and strikes its opponent. The spinning motion disrupts the arena!
The Ice Dance landed precisely and gracefully on Landorus, knocking it down from mid-air once again. Its 4x weakness to ice made it completely unable to withstand the attack. Even though the two had a large difference in growth rate, it still caused considerable damage!

"La dong!"

call!
The spiritual power of the fourth level suddenly surged. The spiritual power, as vast as the ocean, was gathered by the earth cloud, and then a powerful pink glow spread from the center of its hands!
"Supernatural power!"

Saito cried out in alarm. Although he desperately wanted to join the battle, he was powerless to intervene in the current situation. Meanwhile, the technique unleashed by Land Cloud in conjunction with the surging spiritual energy within the Ancient Castle was a familiar skill to all espers!

However, with such a huge increase, can this move still be considered "supernatural power"?

At this moment, Landorus gathers boundless and powerful psychic abilities, sending a tremendous magical force to attack Lightmoss and the Pokémon!

The entire fourth level seemed to be overturned by this move. The huge earthquake caused the wilderness scenic area on the surface to tremble, and the Kiku-boss, the workers, and the people of the Plasma Group, who were deep in the third and fourth levels, all felt the power of this attack!
"Oh my god, what on earth happened?!"

Ju Laoda looked in disbelief in the direction from which the tremor came. What on earth had happened on the fourth floor?
Joggs, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised.

That energy was immense. If you could capture the Pokémon that emitted it, regardless of whether it was Volcarona or not, it could become Team Plasma's ace!

"Fight back!"

However, the Moss and the Pokémon did not back down. Now, let's unite our hearts and unleash the power we have gained from the Unova heroes!
Pass on your fighting spirit! Passing on your fighting spirit to a Pokémon will temporarily boost the Pokémon's strength and stamina!

Transfer your determination! Transferring your determination to a Pokémon will temporarily boost its energy and willpower!
Then—the Fragment of Victory! Greatly enhances the strength and stamina of Pokémon or players!
Aegislash Monster, Iron Hoof Ray!

Miss Skirt, Sunlight Blade!

Riolu, Dark Pulse! Torterra, Seed Machine Gun!
Different types of energy erupted instantly, colliding with the surging supernatural power like the ocean. The shockwave generated by the power swept across the entire fourth floor, causing the Plasma Group's grunts, who originally intended to come here to subdue the enemy, to be blown away!
Saito managed to escape the shockwave of the battle by finding a wall. As for Moss, the Pokémon, and Landorus, a huge energy distortion occurred at the center of the shockwave!
The Aegislash's beam disappeared, and it immediately opened its King's Shield. The shockwave blasted against the shield, leaving everyone unharmed. Landorus, on the other hand, was blasted away by the enormous energy and crashed heavily to the ground!
"La dong."

After the shockwave of energy passed, the place was in ruins. Tall stone pillars collapsed and turned into rubble, and the city bricks were covered with traces of energy shattering!
The clash of forces caused the angry spirit of the ancient city to recede rapidly like a tide. It had already erupted once and would not control the land cloud again for a short time.

Land Cloud was also briefly brought to his senses by his furious state of being controlled by the ancient spirit.

The ancient god suddenly opened its eyes. The violent spiritual power distorted the reality before it, but it was only now gradually returning to normal. It was panting heavily, and the memory of the battle it had just fought was becoming clearer. It looked at the Pokémon in disbelief.

Such immense power... how could this be?

However, the moss was not feeling well at this time.

"Fighting spirit and determination also drain my mental strength. It was my mistake."

"No, the Victory Fragments have a greater impact on me!"

Looking at the dimmed Victory Fragment in his hand, a strange V-shaped crystal, a reward from the Tree of Connection, it seemed to originate from Victini. This infinite power of victory was not something an ordinary superhuman could control, resulting in a significant depletion of his mental energy.

At the same time, the heroes' power is still too much for the current Lightmoss to use two at once.

Even after seeking out spiritual communication and training with psychics, it's still impossible to fully project one's own power onto a Pokémon.

My mental strength still needs to be improved.

"It seems my training needs to continue, and I need to work harder on my superpower cultivation. Should I go back and find Gadria, Sabrina, and Ichiki to ask them for further guidance?"

"Ah, Earth Cloud, has it calmed down yet?"

Seeing that the Earth Cloud had returned to normal and was staring in its direction, the Lightmoss tried to greet it in a friendly manner.

Land Cloud raised an eyebrow, staring suspiciously at Light Moss.

Having fully retrieved his memories of the battle, Land Cloud stroked his chin and scrutinized the intruder before him.

Although they invaded their own territory, they also saved themselves.
At that moment, the voice of the Plasma Squad elites came from not far away.

"Ah, what's that Pokémon?!"

"The source of this enormous energy is it! This powerful force is directed at a Pokémon Trainer! Damn it! He must be trying to capture this Pokémon. I can't let that happen!"

Team Plasma's elite minions appeared on the fourth floor. They discovered Landorus and attempted to capture it, while also releasing their own Pokémon in preparation to take over the Pokémon from Lightmoss's hands!

"It's so pitiful that those Pokémon are forced to fight."

"We're going to 'liberate' them from your hands!"

The henchmen, talking to themselves, rushed forward, intending to subdue Land Cloud. However, at this moment, Land Cloud, now back to normal, narrowed its eyes!
Clap your hands together!
The entire fourth floor shook violently, and violent tearing marks appeared on the floor tiles!
The immense force was about to tear the entire fourth level apart!

Move - One-Hit Kill - Earth Shatter!

The Pokémon of the Team Plasma elites fell directly into the fissure in the earth, and they fell down with them. The ground-type power impacted their internal organs, causing all of their Pokémon to be on the verge of death in one blow!
"Humph!"

Land Cloud scoffed. These clueless humans had just charged at him with nonsensical slogans, but there was no doubt that they had wanted to capture him!

There have been people like this before. When dealing with these kinds of guys, the best way to greet them is to use Earth Shatter!

"Ah, thank you so much, but you've almost torn the fourth floor apart! By the way, what kind of structure does this city have? Why doesn't it collapse?"

After taking some medicine, Guangtai regained its vitality, and Tudiyun floated to Guangtai's side, nodding slightly to show its approval.

You just took a hit from your own arm. You're inhuman!

However, it is precisely because of this that you fought alongside Pokémon and won the victory without flinching, which is undeniable and has earned my favor!

Land Cloud fastened his belt, then took out a gem and handed it to Lightmoss.

"What is this... a badge?"

"Ladong (abundant gems, this is a gift of thanks)."

[Precious Material: Abundant Gems.]

[Description: The Abundance Gem obtained from the Earth Cloud is a crystallization of abundant power, originally a treasure that could only be seen on the Earth Cloud's belly in its spirit beast form.]

[Effect: Brings abundance to a region of land, greatly enhancing the power of Ground, Grass, and Flying attributes!]

[Gain Knowledge: Abundant Cultivation - Soil you cultivate becomes twice as fertile and abundant as before. It also allows you to transform the power of wind and thunder, channeling it into the earth. Using this on a Turtle will grant it the same cultivation knowledge! It also works on the Tree of Connection.]

Then, Earth Cloud raised its hands and showered down a vast expanse of earth essence, like sweet rain. Every year, it accumulates power in the ancient city, gathering the earth's energy from the boundless sea of ​​sand to nourish the soil of the entire Unova!
In the animation, this blessing is called the sunlight summoned by the land cloud, which can make plants sprout and grow instantly, and has powerful healing and blessing power!
Then, Tu Di Yun looked thoughtfully at the few plasma team elites who had fainted behind him.

It had anticipated a major battle that might take place here, but it had a more important mission to accomplish. If these people destroyed the ancient city, not only would it be unable to resupply here in the future, but it might also be captured by these treacherous individuals.

The ancient city is now packed with people. It's not a good thing to attract attention.

So, why not ask the person in front of you to take you out?
Land Cloud stroked his beard, having come up with a brilliant plan.

"Pull!" Landorus pointed to the Poké Ball on Lightmoss's waist!
