Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 282 Rippling Waters Connecting to the Forest
The White Forest grants you and your Pokémon divine power, greatly increasing your Spirit potential!

[Acquire: Divine Aura!]

[Description: The blessing of the White Forest grants you and your Pokémon a sacred aura, making you immune to darkness and disruptive forces! You can imbue your newly captured Pokémon with this aura.]

[Effect: Greatly increases your and your Pokémon's HP and all five stats, and provides an additional 50% increase to all type damage, including your Psychic power! It also has a powerful purifying effect on Dark Matter/Dark Pokémon/Shadow Pokémon, preventing them from attacking.]

[Additional: Superpower - Mirror Reflection (Divine Counterattack - Advanced).]

[For abnormal energy waves and dark energy erosion, you can use "Divine Counterattack" to create a barrier, purify them, and reflect them back! Damage from special attacks received from an opponent will be returned to the same opponent at twice the normal rate!]

A sacred protective shield, a reflective force?

Lightmoss sensed the newly emerging superpower. Mirror reflection is indeed a kind of superpower. Basically, most moves that Psychic-type Pokémon can use can also be learned by human psychics, it's just a matter of compatibility and difficulty in learning.

[Item: Moonstone (Moonlight)]

[Description: Unlike ordinary Moonstones, this Moonstone fell from space into Mt. Ross and contains mysterious moonlight. Giving it to certain Pokémon will cause them to evolve. The key stone to unlocking the Moon Kingdom; giving it to Pokémon with Ground, Fairy, Psychic, or Normal natures will boost their power.]

"Ya Tu~"

The sound of the earth turtle suddenly made the moss turn its head.

The color of the small tree on the turtle's back on the earthen platform also changed. The originally winding spiral branches turned white, but it was not the pale white of a decaying tree, but a sacred white color.

[Acquisition: VSTAR Heavenly Power x1! Although you didn't defeat the Guardian of the White Forest, you have received its blessing! You can bestow this power upon a Pokémon that can connect with Heaven!]

[Acquire: EX Time-Change Power!]

[Description: EX Time-Change Power is the power of the ancient and the future. Having received this energy (from the ancient times) through the gift of the White Forest, it evolved into an even stronger form! The power of the ancient and the future endures!]

[The Tortoise has gained special powers: "Forest Walk" and "Jungle Hammer"!]

[Forest Walk: The more Grass-type Pokémon on the field, the greater the power of Grass-type moves. As the connection with the natural forest continues, the power of Grass-type moves also increases. Where Torterra walks, flowers bloom, and vegetation flourishes, encompassing all things.]

[Jungle Hammer: Enhances the move "Wooden Hammer," increasing its power to 150. It no longer consumes stamina, and attacking an opponent restores one-third of the damage dealt as health.]

Torterra has learned a new move: Wooden Hammer!

[The base HP stats of the Tortoise have been significantly increased!]

The turtle couldn't see the colors of the trees on its body, but it could sense the changes happening within itself. At the same time, the biggest change was that the turtle's size suddenly increased!
The White Forest represents nature, antiquity, and life, thus granting ancient power that transcends time. The turtle can secretly connect with various forests by connecting to small trees, so its current form is "Turtle Ex (Ancient)".
"Oh, the turtle has gotten even bigger!"

The other Pokémon gathered around Torterra in amazement. The white sapling was radiating a strange power, and the surrounding air became cleansed and sacred. It seemed that this sapling now possessed some of the abilities of a sacred tree.

Of course, it's not just the earth turtle.

Although Tortoise obtains the power of the forest by connecting with small trees, Miss Skirt, who is also a Grass-type Pokémon, also received a blessing from the White Forest!

While Miss Skirt was observing the turtle, the flower crown on her head changed.

The light pink turned into a sacred blue-white, and even the color of her body began to change towards a shimmering color!

Miss Xi Cui Qun'er has gained a special power: the Dance of Dreams!

[Dream Dance: When Miss Skirt falls asleep, the opponent's Pokémon will also fall asleep at the same time.]

Miss Xi Cui has learned the move: Healing Wish!

Miss Xi Cuiqun has learned a new trick: role-playing!

[Miss Xi Cui's lifespan has been greatly improved!]

The White Forest's gifts were very generous, even including techniques that didn't belong to Miss Xi Cui Qun'er!

To play the role of an opponent, to make one's own characteristics the same as the opponent's.

This is a move that only the original Miss Skirt could learn, but now Miss Washing Green Skirt has also learned it.

"As expected of the White Forest, this is truly 'magic'."

Lightmoss drew a circle with the white key. Although the White Forest did not give her a "twig," the tree hole key in her hand could actually be regarded as the White Forest's magic wand.

However, the turtle couldn't get through the door after it grew bigger, even though it couldn't get in before.

Lightmoss put away the tortoise, who was both happy and unhappy, and then knocked on Professor Makomo's door with the other Pokémon.

"Who?"

Naturally, someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night would make one very alert. Dr. Makomo's excitement vanished instantly, and Hikari spoke up:
"It's me! I'm back."

Makomo: "Hey! Hikari! Why did you suddenly come back? Wait, could you send me a message?"

Guangtai was both amused and exasperated.

However, considering that the C-device was indeed a very important thing, Makomo sent a message on the Pokémon device. She checked it several times and carefully opened the door while holding a baseball bat. When she saw that it really was Hikari, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! Who would come back and knock on the door in the middle of the night?! It scared me to death!"

Makomo looked around and said, "Come in quickly! The C device is just finished!"

It actually took less than five days to travel from Sanyo City to White Forest.

But it will take time to return from the White Forest.

After all, I don't have a Pokémon that can teleport.

Lightmoss: "My return this time was purely accidental. After I arrived in White Forest, a certain Pokémon sent me back ahead of time."

Makomo: "Huh? Pokémon?"

Guangtai: "Enough talk, let's go inside."

Miss Skirt, Riolu, Burning Bug, and the twitching Rotom entered one after another. When it came to Aegislash, the giant sword, which looked like a door panel, got stuck for a moment, and then it squeezed its body sideways into the door.

"You seem to have gotten bigger too?"

"I don't know!"

Aegislash thought it was a good thing that its body had become bigger, as that would make it more imposing. As the saying goes, the bigger the body, the greater the strength. But the turtle, which had become even bigger than Aegislash, didn't think so.

Ah, it's a bit troublesome to move around in town! I wish I could learn the skill of growing bigger and smaller.

Oh right, isn't there a move called "shrinking"?
I wonder where I can learn this?

"Phew! You have no idea, after you left, I saw some strange people."

Makomo sat back down next to the machine, looking nonchalant, while Truffle also looked up from his half-asleep state.

After seeing the light moss, I blinked.

"I'm still half asleep, what a strange dream."

Guangtai: "It really is me, you're not dreaming."

"Forget it, just go back to sleep."

The truffle nodded drowsily, then continued to lie there and fall asleep.

Makomo then began to describe the strange creature she had seen at the time.

"Although he dressed like a normal person, I always felt that there was a strange malice about him. He lingered near our house for a while as if searching for something, and only left after being seen by the three brothers of the Sanyo Dojo."

Lightmoss was quite surprised: "It's someone from the Plasma Cluster. I checked before I left, how could he evade our spiritual energy search?"

The person who took action must be one of the Dark Iron Triangle. After all, when he appeared at the Ruins of Dreams, he did not leave Sanyo City, so it is normal for him to continue searching and tracking in the vicinity.

Unfortunately, Darkness didn't understand the various research topics, so the investigation yielded nothing. Besides, the researchers had already been arrested, and staying in Sanyo City was clearly too dangerous; he also had to keep an eye on him.
So, now that he's been teleported back by Arknom, if Darkness has been tracking him, he should have lost him by now.

Guangtai muttered, "Let him wait patiently in the White Forest. He'll probably wonder why I went into the tree hole and didn't come out."

Makomo: "Huh? What did you say? What happened to that person?"

Guangtai shook her head: "Never mind him, let's start testing Device C quickly!"

Makomo: "Yeah, right! I should have sent you a message after the research results came out so you could prepare to come back and pick them up. No matter which city in Unova you went to, ten days should have been enough, including the time it takes to get back."

"Let's connect now! I'm a little nervous, after all, this is my first time traveling between worlds. I'm still a bit dazed that I could say such a strange term so easily!"

"Dream World! My research findings, after so many years of dedication, have finally reached the point of verification!"

"Theoretically, anyone can enter the connected world through the C-device. With the Dream Smoke, world synchronization can be achieved." Lightmoss obtained the C-device!

Because it's a beta version, it doesn't install on the instant messaging app like the original; instead, it's like a mechanical box.

The secret to traveling the world lies in this little box.
"Wait! Let me, let me explain! I'm a little nervous! This is a historic moment!"

Makomo looked excited and thrilled, but also a little worried. It would be really embarrassing if she failed. But she quickly shook her head.

"Device C is connected to the world! Note that in areas where wireless connectivity is prohibited, please disconnect the power to Device C to avoid any unnecessary consequences!"

"Hmm! This is just a disclaimer! But theoretically, there's nothing prohibited."

Guangmo turned on the power to the C device, and with a crisp electronic sound, the special word "GEAR" transcribed from the C device lit up on its black screen.

The word means gear.

Then, with the appearance of the first hollow hexagon, many more hexagonal shapes appeared on the screen!

"Look, the startup screen for Device C is displayed!"

"Next, we need to put a Pokémon to sleep and extract its memories. This way, we can enter the secret world through the Pokémon's dream fluctuations. That is..."

"It is an incredible place that connects our world with that of others."

Hikari offered a supplementary explanation on behalf of Makomo, and gave a thumbs-up to the excited yet nervous Makomo.

"Don't worry, you're a genius scientist!"

"So, the Pokémon that's dreaming is Aegislash!"

"Give it to me?"

"Uh-huh?"

Not only Aegislash was puzzled, but Riolu was the most confused.

Wait, shouldn't they be looking for me?
After all, I have a waveguide connection to the world!
"If Device C really succeeds, then any Pokémon and any person should be able to enter the Connected World, which is why I didn't choose you."

The moss comforted the blue puppy, while the Aegislash's one eye lit up.

Hmm, the water is rippling!

It's been a long time since I've seen him. Now, if I fight that guy again, I definitely won't lose!

After a long journey, everyone has acquired incredible power, and the Waves are now the most legitimate one.

The Aegislash immediately went to sleep!

Aegislash used the move "Sleep"!
ZZZ
The king's greatsword fell into slumber, while the C device detected fluctuations in the dream. Fantasy dream smoke projected the dreams and memories of the Aegislash monster onto the screen, with the sleeping Dream Eclipse as the background.

Then, slowly, the phantom of a wondrous dragon Pokémon appeared on the screen and gradually entered Aegislash's dream.

Lightmoss aimed the C-device at the Aegis Sword Monster, and then the Dream Synchronization function was activated.

The connected virtual button started to light up.

"By the way, isn't this only supposed to be used on open streets?"

"Huh? There's no such restriction."

Dr. Makomo shook her head, somewhat puzzled: "Why would you ask that question?"

Guangtai smiled wryly.

Under the watchful eyes of the Pokémon and Professor Makomo, he pressed the button.

Spacetime suddenly fluctuated and distorted, and ripples began to spread. In the blink of an eye, the Radiant Moss disappeared abruptly before Professor Makomo and the other Pokémon's eyes.

Connect to the world, connect to the forest.

Just now, Bodangshui, who was drooling and sleeping soundly on his belly, suddenly jolted awake!
It suddenly raised its head, rolled over, and lay on the ground in a wary posture, but its eyes seemed to be half-asleep, baring its teeth and making noises in a half-awake state, until huge energy began to surge throughout the forest, which startled Bodangshui and made it fully awake!

Oh no! What happened?!
Since I entered this forest, there has been nothing but dream clouds and dream mist. To find tree fruits, I have to dig through the dream world. This forest has always been secluded and quiet. What's wrong with it today?
It sounds like someone is calling out to me?
The rippling water tilted its head to look at the forest corridor, then gradually sensed something and let out a surprised growl!

"Hululu"

It wanted to go through the corridor to the outside, but suddenly remembered something and stopped abruptly.

Its two tails, which thrashed about like waves, indicated its urgency at that moment!

Come in quickly, I've been waiting here for so long!
"Hmm! They're here!"

Another deep voice rang out, and in the darkness of the forest, the sleeping Phantom Flame Emperor also opened his eyes!
A gentle breeze swept across the grass, creating ripples of green waves.

The ancient ruins are dilapidated, with a spiral-shaped, decaying old tree standing in the center of the ruins.

The remnants of the connection, and the tree of the connection.

Before the Tree of Connection stands a blue stone tablet, a stone that embodies the will of the people.

Behind the connecting tree lies a vast, deep, and tranquil forest.

Enter the forest, and...the depths of the forest.

Lightmoss greeted the main body of the Tree of Connection, and then entered the depths of the Forest of Connection. There was nothing in the surrounding forest, but a lot of dream energy was active here; those were the dreams of Pokémon.

Then, a confused roar came from the depths of the forest. When the light moss passed through the corridor formed by the trees and arrived at the plaza deep in the forest, what awaited on the dark green grass was a legendary dragon that had traveled from ancient times to this place!
There were also props and treasures scattered all over the ground!

"Ow!"

The rippling water roared deafeningly, then rushed to the side of the moss, lowered its big head and made joyful purring sounds, then turned to look at the various props piled up like a small mountain.

It wasn't just that they retrieved their props in the dream!

When the dream becomes reality, these items will also fall into the Forest of Connection along with the dream. As for why these things can be generated out of thin air... well, it's probably because the energy of the dream is strange!

The rippling water flaunts its "trophies"!
Look, Trainer, these are all the treasures I've collected for you from all of Unova!

By the way!
Bodangshui told Guangtai that Zoroark came several more times afterward, but he tricked it each time. That guy thought he was a legendary dragon, so he made all sorts of demands on it and tricked it out of many treasures!
This made Guangtai sigh, "Master N's ​​Zoroark is truly loyal. Perhaps it knows that the Wave Water is fake, but it is still willing to do its part for its master. It must have emptied its coffers."

"Alright, alright! I know you're lonely! In short, Device C is a success!"

A crystal crown of moss slapping against the rippling water!

Then, let's officially begin the subjugation!

After capturing it in a dream, you need to capture it again in the Forest of Encounters.

Lightmoss picked up the Dream Orb from Rippling Water, which was located at the top of the treasure pile, and then aimed the orb at the long-awaited Rippling Water.

The Dream Sphere opened, and the rippling water transformed into a burst of light, which was then absorbed into the sphere!

"Now, all the partners are here!"

"I have subdued the surging waters!"

"Rippling water, a Pokémon from the distant past."

"A somewhat impatient personality."

We met deep within the Forest of Connection.

I like sweet tastes and dislike bitter tastes.

"She loves to eat and has a very strong sense of curiosity."

Meanwhile, the light moss looked into the darkness deep within the forest.

The Phantom Flame Emperor slowly strolled out, his eyes filled with gratitude and joy.

"What an incredible world! As a product of fantasy, I could one day gain a real, functional body, if my physique and power were identical to the real Flame Emperor."

"Does this mean that Ho-Oh's power was also involved in shaping me?"

"Speaking of which, I did indeed see that strange rainbow-colored light sweeping across the canyon in my black and white world."
