Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 267 The Time Gap and the Pokémon Musical
【mission completed! 】

[Your intentions resonate with the Tree of Connection! The Tree of Connection has sensed a new will, and its decaying branches are slowly growing!]

[Received: Release Orb x3, Electric Radiance x1, Artistic Talent x1, TM (Raging Volt), Volt Badge x1!]

[Artistic Talent - A Line Artist!]

[Description: -- A magician who uses lines as a magic wand to depict the subtle interactions between people! Through different lines, such as straight lines, curves, and broken lines, the outlines and details of all things are sculpted, thereby conveying different styles and emotions!]

[Effect: Line usage +200%. You can express your emotions and imagery simply with lines. It has a unique power in depicting black and white objects, allowing you to capture fleeting artistic details! In clothing design, the art of lines is extremely important!]

[Acquire: Electric Radiance - Shining Star!]

[Description: A special power derived from the battle fashion show; life has its own stage to shine, and becoming the brightest star on one's own stage is the dream of every life!]

[Effect: Shiny Collection +10%. When you obtain reward items, these seemingly insignificant reward items may sometimes boost the equipped Pokémon's additional abilities, such as Contest Medals which will increase their Shiny stat.]

[Effect: Dazzling Brilliance +50%. If your Pokémon is on stage or performing, all of its stats and move flair will increase.]

[Note: Your sunlight ability has been enhanced as a result! Even the Tree of Light feels the warmth of the light! A new green leaf has sprouted.]

[Craftable Item: Silver Inspection Mirror!]

[Description: A X-ray vision device that can see things invisible to the human eye. It possesses the ability to detect supernatural energy fluctuations and see through smoke. Manufactured by Silver Corporation, it represents one of the pinnacles of scientific achievement! It is said that even ghosts from the spirit world can be seen through this device, making it a crucial tool for deciphering mysterious forces!]

[Note: You can continue to study line art to become a "Pokémon Observer".]

Although this battle didn't take place at the gym, it unexpectedly resulted in the Tree of Connection receiving a green leaf, no longer described as decaying or recovering, and the Lightmoss also gained a new artistic ability, making it a very successful outcome!

Xiao Ju'er then announced the end of the fashion show, first telling Guang Tai to wait a moment, and then walking backstage amidst cheers. Even as she left, her excitement and joy had not subsided.

She seemed to want to talk to me about something more, probably about clothing design, Guangtai thought.

Meanwhile, the enthusiastic crowd dispersed, but the performance battle between the talented artist and the glamorous model would remain the talk of the town for days to come.

Then, he looked at the gleaming gold badge in his hand.

[Obtained: Volt Badge.]

[Description: A symbol of victory over Raven Gym. Although no official gym challenge took place, don't worry about that! The design concept is lightning! Holder of the Volt Badge! Let's have an amazing battle!]

[Effect: Participating in the Pokémon League is a reward item.]

[Note 1: The Tree of Connection is now linked to the Volt Emblem! Knowledge gained—Shining Time!]

[Lightning emits a bright light, and so do circuits; beautiful things gradually glow over time—your and your Pokémon's turbidity decreases by 50%, and their luster increases by 30%, enhancing your elegance and style. Combined with the otherworldly voice and your special pendant, peering into the flow of time and preventing yourself from becoming tarnished by it seems something incredible might happen?!]

Even the Tree of Life doesn't know what will happen.

Guang Moss: ".?"

Ah, it doesn't matter that the old tree is too old to understand many things. Anyway, the job is just to give out rewards. What's the use of rewards if they are really powerful? Guangtai can only say that you are really generous. You really dare to give them away!

However, it seems that the Volt Badge's effect is simply to cleanse the body, which is quite good.

Otherwise, it would look filthy and unsightly. Although dirt is also proof of a medal of honor, it is still a lot of work to clean, isn't it?

Wow! It's so eye-catching!

Zi Yu was very excited. The stage battle she had just witnessed thrilled her. Although Teacher Da N interrupted her in the middle, the battle that followed was really exciting to watch!

This morning I beat through the Battle Subway, this afternoon I saw the Battle Fashion Show, and I even rode the Ferris Wheel and got a Pokémon egg. Today was like a dream for Ziyu!
I'm so, so happy!
"I saw it. You still shine on stage. Your Pokémon are too."

"They genuinely feel that they are different from others, and that kind of confidence is something I rarely see in other people's Pokémon. Because you are an incredible person, your Pokémon become incredible as well."

While Mr. N also paid attention to the battles, he primarily focused not on the human will, but on the inner world of the Pokémon. He gradually became captivated by the inner voices of the Pokémon who had just battled on stage, and that Flamebug...
It seems to have been born not long ago, yet it also seems to have lived for many years, which is quite amazing.

The power that Lightmoss ultimately displayed was undoubtedly due to the powerful superpowers bestowed upon Burning Bug, which was the key to defeating Xeno'jiiva in one blow.

"I'm very happy today too."

N expressed from the bottom of his heart that he now has a deeper understanding of the glamorous stage.

Does life shine on its own stage? Every life, whether human or Pokémon, will have such a stage. If not, then we should go and find it.

“I increasingly hope to meet you again in Fuki City. The tower that I thought of by chance before, or perhaps it was not a coincidence, but an intuition that I have as a special ability user.”

"Fate is such a wondrous thing."

At this moment, someone approached and tried to strike up a conversation with the moss, for example...
"Hello! This is from BW Entertainment! I apologize for taking up a little of your time!"

BW Entertainment was originally an entertainment company in the Pokémon Special, but it also exists in this world. This is easy to understand. Although the president of BW Entertainment is no longer Waiter, the boss in charge of the Pokémon musical in the original game was the top leader of an entertainment company.

BW Entertainment's mission is to provide a large number of "Pokémon actors" for advertisements, movies, and TV series. They have been operating in many towns in the Unova region and have received considerable praise.

"Our main business is, of course, the Pokémon musicals in Raven City!"

"Your Pokémon are absolutely dazzling! From the elegant dance of the Ancient Skirt Lady to the cloaked Riolu, and finally the sun-like Fuminoki, ah! My heart is still racing with excitement. I hope you will consider it."

"To be honest, it would be a great honor for us if you, as a genius artist, could come to the stage of the Pokémon musical!"

"Pokémon musicals. Honestly, these kinds of performances let Pokémon friends perform games on stage."

Before Moss could answer, Teacher N offered his sharp critique, though he held back, not finishing his sentence. It was simply that N subconsciously disliked this kind of "entertainment" that forced Pokémon to perform. However, the person in charge smiled.
"It's not a game; the Pokémon are putting on a serious show."

Do you all know the history of musicals?

"In the beginning, there were no Pokémon. This musical theater was originally for human performances, but at some point, some Pokémon were attracted and ran onto the stage on their own."

"Their mimicry of human performances caused a sensation worldwide!"

"And so, the Pokémon musical began!"

"Pokémon costumes evoke different impressions: cool, cute, elegant, and unique! Decorations, music, and dance—all these combine to create a moving experience. The Musical Theatre is precisely the kind of place that brings such emotions to people!"

Ziyu spoke up at the opportune moment: "That's true. The Pokémon will be performing in different shows, and some Pokémon are even hoping to perform at the Raven City Music Hall! Mr. N, why don't you go and check it out? There's still some time this afternoon!"

"The afternoon to evening is the perfect time to see a musical!"

N hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

Having already conquered the Metro battlegrounds and experienced the fashion show, experiencing a few more things wouldn't be a problem.

After all, none of the group members were present today. N had just confirmed the news; they had been expelled from Raven City.

This made N sigh slightly; Raven's entertainment atmosphere was still too strong, and he had somehow ended up enjoying it himself.
No! This isn't enjoyment, N thought to himself, rejecting the idea.

He was confirming that whether it was with his partner Ziyu or with Lord Guangtai, his actions had a clear purpose, and the results were naturally satisfactory.

In the future I can see, in a future constructed by equations, the people I encounter may truly each possess different powers and stages.

"Oh well."

N agreed.

Lightmoss did not refuse the invitation, because it would also be used as a showcase!
Moreover, this project was originally part of my plan!

This is to acquire crucial knowledge of music and rhythm, so we can create more props! Those music props contain amazing things!

The Flute of Dedication summons Lugia, the Flute of the Sun summons Solgaleo, the Flute of the Moon summons Lunala, the Flute of Infinity summons the Latias and Tigris twins, and the Ukulele, which inspires confidence to capture Pokémon with music!

Especially the last one, the Light Moss, I have a strong impression of it. It is the exclusive item of Ukulele Pichu in the Oblibia region. The material used to make it is a special wood from the Doru Island!
Therefore, Guangtai made a request: she might modify some decorative props. BW Entertainment Company has a prop rental business. After all, it's impossible for props to be given away by fans like in the game, where she has no way to obtain them herself.

The person in charge happily agreed. Although Lightmoss would only be performing here once, having this up-and-coming genius artist grace them with his presence would be an excellent publicity stunt for the Pokémon musical.

And there's another important point!

"Oh, are you going to the Pokémon Musical Theater? Then let's go together!"

Xiaojuer had changed her clothes and came out from behind. She had returned to her outfit from the Black and White era. However, the headphones and the two dangling wires made Guangtai feel that the decoration was a bit inexplicable. Therefore, Xiaojuer's outfit from the Black and White 2 era was still better looking.

"I'm the host of the Pokémon Musical Theater! And, Mauville, I've seen you for a while now."

You look beautiful and radiant today!

Xiao Ju'er and Ju Laoda are acquaintances. It was Xiao Ju'er who notified Ju Laoda to lower the Fanba Bridge during the game, so of course she knows Zi Yu. However, she couldn't just bring an acquaintance's daughter onto the stage. Then Xiao Ju'er looked at N and the two trophies N was holding.

"Battle Against the Subway. I see. So this is the trophy we saw earlier. Are you the Team Battle Against the Subway? You actually defeated North Shang and South Xia. That's amazing!"

"It's all thanks to Mr. N!" Zi Yu said happily. Of course, she knew that although she had also contributed, it was Mr. N who truly guided her to victory. Mr. N simply lowered the brim of his hat again.

He didn't want too many people to remember his face, since from his perspective, these gym leaders would all be his enemies in the future.

However, N still wants to give a word of praise:
"Your Pokémon just said something that really moved me. Their indomitable will and the trainer's will are truly united. That's right. If there were more trainers like you, Pokémon and humans would surely have a bright future."

Xiaoju was slightly taken aback, but Ziyu quickly smoothed things over: "Although Mr. N likes to say some strange things, he is indeed a good person and a very capable person who fights alongside Pokémon!"

Ziyu knew that N didn't like using the word "trainer," so she changed her approach. Xiaojuer laughed and said, "Anyway, that was a compliment. Thank you very much. Actually, I also find it incredible."

"Suddenly I could feel the feelings of the Emolga. Maybe it was the effect of the replica outfit I was wearing, or maybe it was just my imagination. In that instant, my heart felt like it was one with the Emolga. Longing, joy, the desire to be recognized, to shine brighter, and even to defeat that Riolu. That feeling is still throbbing in my heart."

“So, I’m very grateful,” Little Chrysanthemum looked at Lightmoy: “Just like what Adi said, you are an incredible traveler who can bring wonderful experiences to others, and also the most talented artist in Unova. I think this title is well-deserved!”

"Indeed."

N, unusually, agreed with what others said, recalling how he had overcome his first predicament thanks to the work of Guangtai.

Perhaps what people lack most of the time is that first step.

At this moment, the Tree of Connection, who was also in a good mood, sent a minor quest.

[Join the quest: Perform on stage at the Pokémon musical.]

[Description: Your brilliant talent has been discovered, and you've been invited to perform in the Pokémon musical. This performance might be seen as a showcase, helping you express your personal inclinations and thoughts. Musicals can resonate deeply with audiences, so... would you like to use the ancient song again?]

[Rewards: Released Jade x2, Musician's Melody x1, Masterpiece Inspiration x1, Infectiousness x1, Special Item x1.]

At the same time, just then, there was movement inside the incubator that Ziyu was carrying!

N noticed it immediately!
"Ziyu, that Pokémon is about to hatch!"
