Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 270 American Iaijutsu and Soroark

They obtained many special machine manufacturing methods from United, but they did not have a suitable place to manufacture them!
Coincidentally, Raven Gym is a place full of all sorts of traps and machines!
Although most of the facilities are for entertainment purposes, it is precisely because they are intended for entertainment that sophisticated technology is required.

"Oh dear, it's rare for a top model to invite you to dinner. Normally, you should talk more about art, that's what a gentleman does. But you seem to be obsessed with machine manufacturing. But I do like that."

As the saying goes, gym leaders with electrical attributes all have some talent for machine modification. Lt. Surge of Vermilion City Gym hides switches in trash cans, Iron Spin directly modified an entire city, and Denji, known as the fourth generation, even tinkered with electrical mechanisms that caused a city-wide power outage.

Although Xiaoju wasn't as passionate about mechanical technology as these electrical experts, she still had quite a bit of experience in machine modification. Her modifications were mostly geared towards "entertainment" and "display."

"This is."

Xiaoju looked at the machine in her hand with suspicion. To be honest, Guangtai's speed in manufacturing machines exceeded her expectations. She couldn't understand how a bunch of machine parts had already been assembled into a usable mechanical tool!

"Huh, is that an inspection scope? That's strange, what's it used for?"

Xiao Ju put the device on her head and looked around. This thing seemed different from ordinary inspection mirrors. Even when looking at people, there was no change, except that the screen turned slightly bluer.
[Props: Silver's Inspection Mirror (Special Edition)!]

[Description: One of the pinnacle achievements of science, it can see mysterious forces invisible to the naked eye, including ghosts, superpowers, energy fluctuations, and various special energies. It can also detect people hiding behind smoke screens, making it a very convenient and strangely versatile tool!]

Lightmoy: "Have you heard of the Silver Inspection Mirror?"

"This is a special tool I made to resemble the original. I thought it might come in handy in my upcoming work, although I personally don't really need it. But this thing isn't just for seeing ghosts."

"Huh?! What did you just say? You saw a ghost?"

Xiao Ju was startled and quickly looked around.

They saw nothing but humans, only Ziyu blinking her cute eyes with a blank expression.

"call"

Xiao Ju quickly removed the prop from her face and handed it to Zi Yu, who looked on with curiosity.

Zi Yu held the props and examined them over and over.

"Saw a ghost? Really?"

“Of course, and it’s not just about seeing ghosts.” Lightmoy explained in detail: “You can also see hidden psychics, Aura Warriors, and the truth behind the smokescreen. In short, it’s a tool specifically designed to target mysterious abilities.”

"It seems that Silver Company has not released this item on the market."

The Silver Company in the Kanto region also has some Greenskin genes.

Not to mention that the Mirror didn't appear in later generations, the Master Ball is such a bugged item that it clearly restricts other regions, which makes Silver's tech points seem even more strange.
While other companies' technology leans towards realism, Silver's technology is somewhat tinged with metaphysics, yet it uses science to decipher metaphysics, which is quite interesting. Its main selling point is "I think technology can solve this problem," and then it comes up with a solution tool.

It makes sense that the Rockets would infiltrate Silver Corporation; the greens are drawn to each other, and the losers become farts.

Moreover, there's nothing wrong with making your own Silver inspection scope. As long as you have enough parts and instruments and master the process, it's possible. After all, in the special episode, the Silver inspection scope wasn't actually made by the Silver Corporation.

It was created by Little Blue, and then the patent was sold to Silver Company.

In the early stages, Little Blue manually crafts various items, much like himself, and is basically part of the Green faction.

Lightmoy: "I made two inspection mirrors. You can use them if you need them. As expected of Miss Kiku's Raven Gym, you have a complete set of instruments and machine parts!"

"No, I hope there won't be a time when we need to use it. The way you said it makes me feel a chill." Xiao Ju'er shook her head, but Zi Yu seemed very excited.

Paranormal phenomenon, I saw a ghost!
"And then this."

[Props: Metronome.]

[Description: A tool created using musical knowledge, originally a kind of rhythmic instrument. When carried, its power increases when the same move is used consecutively. The power returns to normal when the same move is no longer used.]

[Effect: If a Pokémon holding this item uses the same move repeatedly, the move's power will increase by 20% each time it is used, up to a maximum of 200%!]

The metronome was much simpler to make than the inspection mirror, so Guangtai made several and gave them to Xiaojuer and Ziyu as "parting gifts" to thank them for their help.

Little Chrysanthemum: "Battle items? I'm really interested in those."

Compared to ghosts and such, battles are much more appealing!

Furthermore, Xiaojuer loves to have her Thunder Zebra use Charged Flame Strike, so if she keeps using it, and if she carries a metronome, not only will the speed increase, but the power will also increase!

This is going to be a big problem for the challengers!
In the end, only one prop was made by the light moss.
[Props: High-tech light cannon (hand cannon version).]

[Description: A powerful technological artifact that was originally meant to appear on a certain Pokémon was created with the help of the hero's mechanical expertise. It originally required the professional knowledge of "Mechanic". As for why it is related to the hero, that may be a matter for the future.]

Although you lack the knowledge of a mechanic, the knowledge you've gained from various mechanical experts is more than enough to create this item! Inserting different cartridges will change the properties of the beam cannon; the only cartridge you've created so far is "Electric"!

[Effect: Fires a light projectile at the opponent. Its attributes vary depending on the card pack you are carrying. Due to energy limitations, the hand cannon can only be used five times before needing to be recharged.]

[Note: Special weapons are essential to deal with potentially dire situations. If encountering underground organizations like Pokémon hunters, considerable firepower will be necessary to fight them! Visiting the P2 lab might allow for further modifications and provide more knowledge of mechanics.]

Superpowers are indeed very powerful, and psychic abilities are also very useful.

But firing a shot at a crucial moment is much faster than either of those two; that's the American Iaijutsu.

The P2 laboratory was one of the locations where the villains, who had previously received hints when they acquired mechanical knowledge, obtained it. That place was originally supposed to be Akroma's research institute.

"Eh, a weapon that can use Pokémon moves? It looks pretty dangerous, but it's necessary to get to Black City, as that's the only way to enter the White Forest."

Xiaoju knew that Guangtai was determined to leave, but fortunately, she also gained something. Guangtai redesigned a set of clothes for her in her spare time. As for the production, she would ask Yadi to do it!

This isn't a replica, but a genuine "first-time production," so Yati's interest is sure to soar, though he's never really lost it.

[Design Sketch: EX Seasonal Set - Converging Stars!]

Hmm... I feel like this design suits me perfectly! Why do I have this strange feeling?

Xiaoju could only attribute it to "adaptability"?
"Brother Guangtai, I heard the Subway Chief Controller invite you to challenge the Subway Battle. If you have the chance, let's challenge it together next time!"

Zi Yu said mysteriously:

"I heard that after the final stop, the Super Train actually has a special mode where you can challenge it endlessly. Its final destination is 'Golden Wheel Town,' and it will give the challenger a legendary tree fruit! It is said that those who obtain that tree fruit will become very happy!"

"Although we can reach Golden Wheel Town normally without the challenge, it would be even more exciting to get there via the Super Train!" "I will continue to train and become stronger! I know that the Double Train's victory this time was all thanks to Mr. N, so I must work even harder!"

"Speaking of which, how do you plan to get to the Fantasy Bridge? Are you really going to fly over? It's very high, you know." Xiaoju'er's eyes flickered. "The elevators on the Fantasy Bridge often malfunction, and there are rumors that there are ghosts there. Are you going there because of that ghost story?"

"I've been to the Fantasy Bridge many times, but I've never seen any ghosts. Maybe it's some kind of ghost Pokémon causing trouble."

Even so, seeing that inspection mirror, Xiaoju'er was no longer so certain.

"No, the malfunction of the Fantasy Bridge. I think I have a clue."

Guangtai stroked his chin, carefully considering his words.

The Wonder Bridge, one of the five great bridges of Unova, is a super elevator that takes people to the sky, but it always malfunctions and is under constant repair. However, it is not actually a normal power failure, but a Pokémon is causing trouble inside!
Or perhaps, it wasn't just one, but a whole group!
"Rotom, have you ever heard of this Pokémon? Has Raven City ever experienced strange power outages before?"

"Now that you mention it," Little Chrysanthemum recalled, "there were indeed some strange power problems before, but they were all fixed quickly. They said they were looking for the cause, but they couldn't really find it. Raven Gym also had a few of those problems."

Lightmoss: "This Pokémon called Rotom can burrow into electrical appliances and machines and give them life. It uses its ion-based body to enter all sorts of machines, and it loves to use them as a body to play pranks and scare people. At the same time, it can also be used as a power source for special machines."

"The malfunction of the Fantasy Bridge and the unusual power outage in Raven City are probably just Rotom playing pranks. By the way, it's a plasma-form spirit, which is an electric/ghost Pokémon!"

That's why I left you a viewing mirror.

"Huh? There are Pokémon like this? They look so interesting!" Little Daisy exclaimed curiously.

Well, if it's just a ghost, it is indeed a little scary, but it is a Pokémon after all, so it's okay. But if it is an Electric-type Pokémon, then its light is definitely stronger than its dark side, especially if it likes to play pranks, isn't that very lively!
At this point in time, Red Sun's diary is still in Pluton's hands, and the scientific community has almost no research on Pokémon like Rotom.

Rotom was named after the Red Sun.

Even regarding the origin of Rotom, considering that Rotom in the Sinnoh region appears in the Forest Mansion, while Rotom in the Unova region appears in the Fantasy Bridge, and in the Kalos region it appears in the Abandoned Hotel (leaving the latter aside), the former two have one thing in common—both have real "ghosts" existing.

Therefore, Rotom is most likely a Pokémon that escaped from the spirit world!

After all, there used to be a saying that the soul is a kind of plasma.

Its prototype is probably related to "the strange, noisy ghost: the Polderese phenomenon".

Also known as bizarre and mysterious movements, it is a supernatural phenomenon. The mysterious phenomenon manifests as objects in the air or in space suddenly emitting sounds, or even objects moving.

The scientific hypothesis suggests that environmental factors, such as static electricity, electromagnetic fields, infrasound waves, or groundwater flow, may cause the abnormal movement of objects.

After its existence and characteristics were recognized, Rotom was able to be artificially cloned, which led to the booming of the Rotom industry.

It was almost midnight when Lightmoss set off from Raven, bidding farewell to the two still curious girls. The place she arrived at after passing through the gate was the Enchanted Forest.

There is a small town near Route 16, where the Enchanted Forest is hidden. Although the forest is actually a phantom of Zoroark and is actually a plain, it is still surrounded by the forest.

Therefore, the Enchanted Forest could refer to either the forest created by Zoroark's illusions or the entire forest surrounding Raven.

Lightmoss came to the Enchanted Forest with only one purpose: to obtain excellent wood to make a "Ukulele"!
This item can attract Electric-type Pokémon, and the harp is essential whether you're trying to drive away or capture Rotom.

When the Lightmoss arrived in the Enchanted Forest, it immediately sensed being watched from the depths of the forest.
Theoretically speaking, Zoroark, who appeared in Crown City in the movie, was captured near the Enchanted Forest and then transported to the Sinnoh region.

Later, Zoroark and her son returned to the forest, where they created a food truck and an old man, disguised themselves as humans, and lived quietly there. Meanwhile, little Zoroark would occasionally run to Freedome City to play as a child.

However, the Zoroark who appeared in the Enchanted Forest was not just the Zoroark and her son from the movie.

"Yo! A trainer with a Pokédex! I'm a traveler who loves to travel the world and talk to different people!"

"Did you also come here to explore because you heard the story of this forest? It is said that the enchanted forest can make people lose their way, and you will suffer if you are not prepared."

"Want to come with me? I've conquered countless forests!"

A backpacker approached Guangtai, struck up a conversation with her in a very familiar manner, and offered to point out the way forward.

However, Guangtai sensed a strange aura emanating from him, an aura that didn't seem to be human.

“Backpackers, backpackers…” Guangtai vaguely recalled some settings, and then took out the Silver Inspection Mirror.

Although I didn't think I'd need it at first, I'm using it now.

Backpacker: "Huh? Is that a learning device you're wearing on your head? Haha, that thing is for Pokémon, it's useless for people."

Lightmoss saw through the inspection mirror and realized that the unnatural feeling just now was indeed Zoroark's characteristic "illusion"!
Backpacker: ".?"

Lightmoss didn't say anything, but took off the machine on her head just to confirm, and then said, "I came to the Enchanted Forest not to explore, I'm just looking for some good wood."

The backpacker in front of me is a Zoroark.

Backpacker Zoroark.

In the game, he is Zoroark, who likes to travel around and pretend to be human.

It was an old acquaintance of the Zoroark mother and her cub in the forest, and thought that the Zoroark mother and her cub's secretive lifestyle was bad, and that they were too naive.

Its presence here now is likely due to a conversation with the Zoroark mother and child. In the game, it seemed to have known about Crown City for a long time; perhaps it came to warn them.
After all, they are travelers.

However, Guangtai's strange behavior still aroused some hostility from the backpacker in front of her. Just as that hostility arose, the blue crystal pendant on Guangtai's chest gradually emitted light.

Even the moss-covered palm emitted a faint glow.

"I'm a superpowered person, and I'm wandering around here in search of good wood to make tools. I also have important work to do, so if you can help me, that would be great. I'll give you what you need as a reward, how about it?"

"By the way, I can't predict the future."

Guangtai's words were meant to comfort, and the fact that she couldn't predict the future indicated that she didn't know the true identity of the person in front of her.

But the backpacker still sensed something. However, under the blue crystal and the soft sunlight, it didn't feel any hostility. On the contrary, it felt a warm force caressing it.

"Ah, since you're looking for it, I'll take you there."

"There's quite a bit of good timber in this forest."
