Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 285 Kyurem with a Universe in His Heart

Plasma clusters, City of N.

Quigish learned of the recent setbacks in their activities. The defeat in Flying Cloud City had caused problems for Team Plasma's promotional campaigns in several cities, leaving them with no choice but to send Rhodes, their most skilled member, to handle the situation.

N's travels and even his battles in the Metro were not overlooked by Quidditch.

But Quixote doesn't think this will have any impact on N.

“Our king has long recognized that Pokémon and humans cannot coexist. There are indeed trainers who are friendly to Pokémon, but they are only a small minority.”

"Once we realize our ideals, an era without strife will truly arrive."

Quixote waved his hand, calming his somewhat agitated subordinates.

Now, apart from him, the other seven sages are all busy with their activities outside.

These activities are inherently meaningful.

Of course, there are also setbacks, but those are only temporary.

Asura failed at the Ruins of Dreams and lost a group of researchers. But that's alright. Researchers are everywhere; they can be recruited again. There are still many researchers who share their ideals, including some who have worked in the teleportation factory or with the Alliance.

Rather than some vague and unrealistic dream legend, let's be more realistic. We should hack into the Pokémon storage system using technical means, and then wait for N to give the order to instantly release all the Pokémon. That's the right way.

Focusing on the real world in front of us is a better choice than pursuing unrealistic alternate dimension research.

“I’ve read Asura’s report. It seems the research on dreams has been interrupted. Although we have received confirmation that the dream energy can be used, it’s just a new energy source. We’re not an energy company.”

"It's not very realistic to expect people to give up Pokémon in their dreams. Let's see what the next report says."

"Yorgos failed to capture the Fire Moth in the Ancient City and lost part of his memory. The report said that there was an incredible spiritual force active in the Ancient City. So that's how it is. This is very valuable intelligence."

"But unfortunately, neither my ancestors nor the king's ancestors had anything to do with the ancient city."

"Special powers have always existed in this world. Our Team Plasma King's ancestor was a king who reigned over the sea. He created this original Unova world, which was also the beginning of the legend of the founding of the nation. He could connect with all Pokémon and understand all people."

"That power is hidden in the underwater ruins. If you can unravel all the secrets, you can gain the approval of the King of the Sea."

"The sacred remains of ancient kings are buried in the underwater tombs!"

"As the only descendant who can inherit the power of the king"

Quixote murmured, as if in a dream, and began to hum in a low voice, but his expression quickly changed.

I know I definitely won't be able to pass the trial.

Therefore, N is a must-go destination.

Only N possesses the same power as the ancient kings; he can open the deepest rooms of ruins and make ancient ruins emerge from the seabed, providing coordinates.

Once you've solved all the mysteries in the information, you can officially head to the underwater ruins.

He is the pride of Halmenia, and also the monster of Halmenia, a monster without a heart.

Perhaps the ancient kings were monsters like this.

"It is precisely because I cannot do these things that I must support a true king, someone with the demeanor and ability of a king."

“N is trying to fight, which is a good thing. He will likely face many more battles in the future, and only he can fully unleash the power of Pokémon and make it a viable tool in the fight.”

"As our king, sooner or later he will show a power greater than the Unova Champion. The champion represents the pinnacle of trainers. Only those who can surpass the champion can unite people's hearts and awe the world!"

“Akromar, you think so too, don’t you?”

Quixote looked at the researcher in the shadows: "Is the sample size for the study sufficient?"

"We've also discovered many incredible things before. It seems that many trainers can enhance their partners' abilities through the bond with Pokémon, thus allowing Pokémon to unleash greater power."

"Moreover, there are special cases like the 'King Pokémon' in Feiyun City, but the tracking has been interrupted."

Akromar adjusted his glasses, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Mr. N's power is indeed the best way to unleash Pokémon abilities, but the same power is also manifested in many people; the sample size is expanding."

“The power of those people is all fake. Only N’s power is real and lasting.” Ghetsis retorted, “There’s no need to investigate those ordinary trainers. Just focus on the more special ones, such as the trainer who controls that King Pokémon.”

"Select heroes from among those special guys."

"Now, I have a vague idea. I might even know that trainer."

A strange light flickered in Quixote's eyes.

This is truly a twist of fate. Could that strange prop craftsman be one of the other bloodlines of Harmenia who have been separated from the world?

"The idea of ​​a bond with Pokémon is a joke! In the end, Pokémon and humans are different creatures and cannot understand each other, which is the root of the pain. Our King is a special being."

Regarding the investigation into the legendary dragon, Quixote held a stack of documents: "It has indeed proven the existence of a third dragon, but there is currently no news about the dragon in the dream. Perhaps it was just the dream of some dragon Pokémon."

"I never expected that there would be a third hero besides the real heroes and the ideal heroes. But of course, such power should not be taken by those with ulterior motives."

"The location of the third dragon is still unclear, so what about Aldak? That guy was investigating the legendary dragon, so why did he suddenly disappear in Twin Dragons City?"

"That champion's awareness of concealment wasn't that good."

Acrom shrugged: "I only focus on researching Pokémon's potential. Although it would be great to be able to record the power of the Champion's Pokémon, I don't think Team Plasma is capable of battling the Champion yet."

"Although you previously incited public opinion to criticize him and claimed that he was responsible for the deaths of Pokémon, it seems that the Volcarona did not die and came back to life."

Quixote: "So what if he came back to life? That's just a political claim, it has nothing to do with the facts."

"Regardless, Volcarona is almost dead, which is the result of Alder's actions. There are still many people on our side, and they also hate Pokémon battles."

"We want to recreate the legend in United States and control people's hearts. Language is a sharp knife, and also a sword to reveal the truth."

"Well then, get ready. The battle you've been waiting for is about to begin."

"The battle between the hero candidates must not be witnessed by unrelated personnel, but our team members must be present to observe the battle at the Tower of Heaven."

"However, I have important matters to attend to, so I cannot go. It is a pity. I will ask the sages to go and observe on my behalf."

Quixote squinted. Of course, he couldn't hide the fact that N and Lightmoss had arranged to fight at the Tower of Heaven from him, especially since he had the Iron Triangle helping him keep an eye on things.

Just a short time ago, Quixote sensed a fluctuation.

The fluctuations were coming from the direction of the underwater ruins. He had studied that hidden ruin for a long time, so he was able to confirm it shortly after the fluctuations arrived.

The underwater ruins are emitting unusual activity; that special power, the power of the ancient kings, is choosing a successor!
This has never happened before; even when I selected N, this change did not occur.

All of this changed after the appearance of a second person who seemed to be able to communicate with Pokémon.

"Do even ancient kings have to make choices in the modern world? Gemini heroes. Hehehe, isn't it just like a war between an ancient city and an underwater kingdom? The losers leave nothing behind, vanishing into history, while the victors become heroes and are sung about!"

"However, there is more than one candidate for hero. Each of those special trainers could be a hero."

After investigating the third dragon and the Void Hero, Quixote immediately changed his mind.

There are three legendary dragons. How can you be sure that you've chosen the right one?
Moreover, aside from the founding heroes, the legendary Three Musketeers of the Unova region, although they are Pokémon, seem to have also been passed down as heroes, which means that there might be humans who can ride those three Pokémon.

And the three weather gods who summon storms and rain throughout the world.
The legends of the Unova region are countless! Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river!

Unfortunately, there's no place for me here!

Giant's Cave.

Gopaleon brought Keldeo here, but Virizion and Terrakion did not come with them.

The light blue pony looked around curiously. Everywhere was shrouded in mist and strange magnetic fields, with many oddly shaped stones radiating cosmic energy. Countless emotionless eyes watched her and her master from the grass, bushes, and forest.

Cobalion nodded to the Pokémon that lived nearby and had an extraordinary origin. The special power of Giant's Cave had attracted them and brought them together in this area.

In the crevices between the cliffs and caves, two or three iron dumbbells could be vaguely seen, and a metal monster lay on a rock, its two red eyes locked on Cobalion and Keldeo who had entered the area.

Of course, locking on doesn't mean a fight is about to break out; the metal monster is just worried that its feeding will be affected.

"Those are MetalGreymon and IronDumbbell, Pokémon that feed on magnetism."

"Hidden in the woods and bushes are Sun Rock, Moon Stone, and Pipi, which are said to have come from the universe a long, long time ago."

"Huh? The universe! What's the world outside the universe like?" Keldeo asked Cobalion curiously, but the latter did not answer.

That can't be answered either.

Gopaleon ventured deep into the cave. As a holy swordsman who roamed the land and had lived for over a thousand years, Gopaleon knew many wondrous things, such as the legend circulating in a certain human town that the Giant's Cave was formed from a meteorite that fell from the sky.

"Kyurem! I've come..."

"call--"

As Gopaloon ventured deep into the Giant's Cave, a tremendous chill suddenly emanated from within, and a colossal dragon with no pupils in its eyes, its body covered in gray ice, emerged from the cave's darkness.

"Kyuu Rem!" Keldeo was a little nervous, but even more excited.

According to the masters, as long as you challenge Kyurem and gain his approval, you can become a formal Holy Swordsman.

This made the inexperienced Kerudio eager to try.

"Stop, Keldeo, you are no match for Kyurem."

Cobalion lowered his head and sternly warned the reckless pony not to misbehave here, which disappointed Keldeo.

You're already very strong, so why not challenge yourself?

Kyurem's gaze was also fixed on the unfamiliar pony. After hearing Gopaloon say that he would not fight, Kyurem immediately lost interest and was about to turn back.

Not fighting? I thought they were bringing their apprentices to take the exam.

Then why did you call me for no reason?
"Wait, Kyurem! I have something important to tell you!"

Gopaleon sternly called out to Kyurem, who was about to leave:

"There's been some turmoil in the Unicron lately. The humans' search for the legendary dragon is escalating. You need to find a new hiding place."

"You mean, you want me to move out of the Giant's Cave?" Kyurem turned his large head back, his voice heavy and hoarse, carrying a chilling aura.

The Giant's Cave is so conspicuous!

Conversely, the Total War Factory is very well hidden. It was one of the Kyurem's former testing sites and an abandoned factory left behind by humans. No one would have thought that the legendary third dragon would be in that abandoned factory.

"So, what about the previous imposters?"

"They seem to have realized it was a fake," Gopaleon said with some helplessness, telling Kyurem about his encounter with the turbulent waters in his dream.

Kyurem was quite interested: "Roar, an ancient water dragon, huh? Interesting. Is that the fourth dragon that entered my dream?"

As a typical homebody, Kyurem firmly believes that his hometown is the best place for him to stay. However, when he learned about Team Plasma's activities, Kyurem was indeed very annoyed and even considered moving.

"This is never going to end. Forget it, let's just ignore it."

Gopaleon: "Kyurem?"

They were so angry before that they wanted to move, but now they're just letting things stagnate!
"Even if I produce a fake, these humans will still find my trail. Perhaps they don't even care how many dragons I have."

Kyurem is very unhappy:
"Whether it's three or four, there might be even more dragons in the Unova, they're just hiding like me."

"For humans, the more help they can get from dragons, the better. Since that's the case, I might as well stop hiding and use my power to show those people what a foolish thing they're doing."

Gopaleon quickly advised, "You're wrong. Modern humans possess a very powerful force called 'technology,' which is even more powerful than the mysterious magic of ancient times."

"Do you think that kind of machine would be of any use to me?" Kyurem retorted to Gopaleon. "Human power is too weak. Only legendary heroes can control us, but that is merely a choice we make."

"Gopalon, have you become a coward?"

"I'll stay here, I'm not going anywhere. As long as I'm here, my power can be maximized. This is the universe."

Kyurem paused, but did not continue.

His memories from long ago are incomplete, and his form as the Dragon God of the Way and his past are not very clear, but Kyurem still remembers where he and the black and white dragons came from.

It was a vast, star-filled realm.
"From space?" Keldeo's interest was piqued again, while Kyurem stared intently at the little water horse.

"Oh kid, are you interested in the universe and astronomy?"

Sanyo City, Sanyo Gym.

This is a Pokémon restaurant, run by the comedian Cilan and his Water/Fire brothers, Kohn and Bert.

Cilan was Ash's traveling companion during the BW era. She has the special profession of Pokémon sommelier, providing others with a lot of professional advice on their journey. She also has some qualities that Brock does not have, not just being funny and an encyclopedia.

And they're stubborn.

While the idea of ​​using science to explain some supernatural phenomena is not wrong, it can sometimes be too stubborn.

The game mentions that they were actually rookie gym leaders at the start of the Black and White storyline, which means they may have only been in office for about a year, or even less.

"Welcome to the Pokémon Gym in Stellaris City."

"I'm Cilan, and I love Grass-type Pokémon. That's my name!"

"At the same time, I am also a Pokémon sommelier!"

When Kouzu entered the Sanyo Dojo, there were also some people who came for a meal. The green-haired boy who came towards them was none other than Tenji.

"Would you like to order?" Tian Tong asked, then noticed the mako and truffles and paused in surprise.

Dr. Makomo and Miss Truffle?
Huh, I didn't hear that Dr. Makomo found a boyfriend.

"No, I'm here to challenge the gym."

When Guangtai revealed the goal, Tiantong was slightly taken aback, then revealed a meaningful expression.

So that’s it!
Professor Makomo recommended me to challenge the gym!
How many rookie gym battles have they held now?

Newcomers who don't even understand elemental advantages and disadvantages often only manage to win one game when facing the Three Stars Gym, followed by a crushing defeat.

Although he has only been in office for a short time, Tenji feels that he has fulfilled his duties as a gym leader very well.

However, today's person
Wait, this looks familiar.

Tian Tong frowned, realizing that things were not so simple. After asking Guang Tai to sit down, he immediately ran back and returned shortly afterward, looking very excited.

"You are Mr. Lightmoy! The legendary artisan! The rising genius of Unova, whose works have been featured in the Flying Cloud Gallery and Raven's fashion show!"

"I'm a fan of yours, please give me your autograph, please!"

　P.S.: I have a cold and am not feeling well.
