Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 286 Your infamy is known to everyone in the United States

The art exhibition was very successful!

Tian Tong, this "art encyclopedia," has become aware of his own fame and captivated by art, becoming a completely loyal fan.

Judging from the animation, Cilan has dabbled in various art fields, including but not limited to subways, fishing, movies, and painting.
"I saw that exhibition at Fei Yun Gallery! It was truly exhilarating!"

Tian Tong excitedly grasped Guang Tai's hands.

"No, it won't be more than a few days," Guangtai retorted.

It's only been about ten days since the Feiyun exhibition started.

The people in the group are really well-informed.

"Wow. You're really famous. You're that famous?" Makomo looked a little nervous, then whispered to Matsuru, "I didn't expect Hikari to be such a famous guy. I hope the position of deputy director isn't too low."

Truffle couldn't bear to look at her sister.

"He's starting to daydream again."

Tian Tong tidied up her appearance.

His two brothers, Bert and Cohen, also came over, very excited to get his autograph. The three brothers are quite enthusiastic about art, and when they heard that Lightmoss had come to challenge the gym, they were very excited.
"You want to challenge the Sanyo Dojo? That would truly be an honor for my humble abode!"

Koun, a water-attribute warrior, trembled with excitement: "Ah, to have an artistic battle in a restaurant... just thinking about it makes me unable to resist! Please, please, you absolutely must have one with me!"

"Please fight me! Why don't you choose me? I'm definitely stronger." The fire-attribute Bert was extremely enthusiastic and outgoing, and directly pushed away his elegant water brother.

"No! Let's choose based on the normal attributes," Tian Tong suggested.

"It may seem strange, but that's the rule of the Sanyo Dojo. We will fight based on the attribute you choose."

Bert and Cohen exchanged a glance, then looked expectantly at the moss.

Great! This is the fairest way!

“Water,” Guangtai answered, and Tiantong’s eyes lit up immediately!
Yay! A Water-type Pokémon! Now it's my chance to make my move!

"Then, teacher, I will be your opponent!"

Tian Tong was overjoyed, while Bert and Cohen looked disappointed.

Good heavens, such a great opportunity to interact with a genius artist through battle has been lost!

"Hmm, Cilan seems to have a stronger Pokémon."

Guangtai pondered that Tian Tong only had Coconut Monkey, Rock Crab, and Mudfish in the game.

But now it seems that it might be because Tian Tong kept all the good fighters at home for his two brothers to use.

"It's an honor!"

Tian Tong is in a good mood, so she'll let herself move around a bit!

"Since you've come to take on the challenge, of course we'll treat you with the utmost hospitality!"

There weren't many people in the restaurant at this time. The restaurant wall opened directly, revealing the battle arena hidden deep inside the dojo!
"My first Pokémon was a 'Princess'!"

Sure enough! It's not a palm calamari monkey, but its evolved form!

The cauliflower monkey landed in the arena, its distinctive feature being its tall hair, with a tuft of hair on its head resembling a tall, upright clump of grass, topped with three yellow seeds that look like cauliflower.

Large, fan-shaped ears paired with an oval face. Sharp, piercing eyes, and two white eyebrows.

"Whoosh—" The Coconut Ape was eager to fight.

then--

Lightmoss threw out a Dream Ball, and the strange Poké Ball startled the three brothers. Then, a huge creature landed directly on the battlefield!
The enormous shadow pressed down directly on the gibbons, and most importantly...
"Cuck!"

After seeing the guy in front of him clearly, the Coconut Monkey was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly covered his hair!

Ah! It's the bandit dragon from my dream!

Oh no, this guy chased after us and tried to rob us!
Where is the Lacecrown?! Lord of Dreams, come and save her!

"Roar!" The little paws, rippling with water, scratched the mane.

His eyes lit up!
Oh! Aren't you our beloved friend and family?
That Brilliant Cauliflower on the farm was grown from the cauliflower on your head! Everyone who's grown it says it's amazing!

So, does that mean we'll be able to pluck another hair from your head in this battle? And this is the real world!

The water in the ripples started to make my mouth water.

The Glorious Vegetables taste really good!
"Wow! (Friend, this is delicious!)"

"Quack! (Help!)"

The Coconut Monkey was extremely anxious and suddenly turned its head to look at the Celestial Cilan!

No, no, no, we can't hit this guy!

"Hmm, a Pokémon I've never seen before! What kind of Pokémon is that?!"

Not only Bert and Cohen were very puzzled, but Makomo and Truffle were also watching the battle and pondering what was going on.

"That's the partner I brought out of my dream. They look really powerful."

"A Dragon-type Pokémon. However, it seems that it brought out two Dream Balls."

Truffle's reminder immediately brought back memories for Makomo:

"Oh right, there were two."

"If the first one is so amazing, what will the second one be?"

Tian Tong was also quite nervous at this moment!

Oh my!
My Sanyo Gym is a newbie gym, what kind of Pokémon did you throw out right away?
This doesn't look like a level that my dojo can handle!

Is what you're doing legal?
The pressure on Tian Tong was immense!
"A dragon? I didn't expect to face such an opponent right from the start!"

"Just standing on the field, he looks incredibly impressive, so we can't underestimate him. But his elegant posture is truly captivating and artistic!"

Tian Tong's eyes sparkled, and the rippling water might seem a little strange at first glance, but the longer you look, the more you discover the wonderful beauty of the combination of wildness and flowing water. Most importantly—

Cilan doesn't know Suicune.

Then the first impression of rippling water will be very good!

"Since that's the case! Coconut Monkey, Sunny Day... Hey, is this someone you know? Why aren't you making a move!"

The coconut monkey was so anxious it almost spoke:
"Hoo hoo! (You can't beat this dragon! You still dare to open up a sunny day!)"

The cauliflower lost all desire to fight. The trauma of having its cauliflower plucked was still lingering in its mind. It later evolved with great effort, but it still couldn't beat this guy!

Tong!
You're too young to know that some Pokémon are double agents!
Sunny days are brothers with sunny days, rainy days are brothers with rainy days!
You thought it was water-related!

But it can actually become popular!
For whom does the sunny day bloom?

Tian Tong, you can't handle this weather!

"Hey, hey, why have you suddenly lost the will to fight?!"

Cilan was completely baffled. He quickly recalled his Psydrill and then thought for a moment before sending out his second Pokémon.

That's a bit embarrassing! The Gym Leader's Pokémon chickened out completely when faced with the challenger's Pokémon!

The pressure has increased!
Previously, we fought Pokémon like Yorkshire Terrier and Dove, or Tepig and Snivy. Although a few days ago, some people disregarded all sportsmanship and pulled out monsters like Darmanitan, and Tepig was also exceptionally strong, but none of them were as imposing as they are now!
"Alright, something's gone wrong! Time for the review. My second Pokémon! Sausage!"

A sand cactus?
Moss ponders.

This is also the lineup for the World Championships!

And as soon as the sand cactus landed, it looked up.

Hey! Isn't this just rippling water?

"Shh! (Oh my god! The dragon is attacking!)"

The sand cactus simply raised its hands!

Don't spray me with flamethrowers, I surrender!
This is the standard Carlos gesture!

Your infamy is known throughout United States, from the roadside town of York to the Three Dragons of the Way!
"I'm so sorry!"

Cilan was now sweating profusely. He couldn't understand why his Pokémon would suddenly surrender without a fight. But the key point was that if a Pokémon lost the desire to fight, it would be considered to have lost. Now he only had one Pokémon left.

Meanwhile, Bert, with his fire attribute, and Koon, with his water attribute, both brothers from Cilan, shook their heads repeatedly.

"What exactly is that giant dragon? Does it have any special characteristics?"

"Cilian's Pokémon seem very scared, even with the Intimidate ability, they shouldn't be like that."

The brothers, one on the water and the other on the fire, stroked their chins, spread their hands, and looked at each other, completely clueless about what was happening on the battlefield.

Two have already been eliminated before the fight even started?

However, the Water and Fire Brothers didn't seem to care. In fact, some of the Pokémon in the Poké Balls on their waists had also seen Ripple.

Oh my god! This is terrifying!

How did that bandit dragon get out?! Given that there are no other creatures of its kind in Unova, it's 100% certain that it's that dream bandit!
Thankfully, it wasn't us who had to go on the field!
Inside the Poké Ball at Bert's waist, the Apexy breathed a sigh of relief, while the enthusiastic Bert, sensing the shaking, immediately joked:

"Oh! Burrowing Ape, do you also want to battle that Pokémon?"

Fragrant Ape: "."

Bert, if you don't understand what I'm saying, don't interrupt. Fire-type trainers always talk nonsense!
Who understands what you say?
Even the fragrant monkey was speechless.

But it wasn't the only one speechless.

The moss was speechless, while the two tails of the rippling water impatiently slapped the ground.

Oh my, so many old friends! Are there any I haven't met before?

"Uluru——"

The rippling water let out a low growl, expressing its dissatisfaction.

What's wrong with you, human trainer?!

Can't you bring out a stronger Pokémon? They're all defeated by me!
"Just how many Pokémon did you mess with in your dreams?"

Lightmoss silently questioned the rippling water. Hushbo shook his head.

Who would know about something like that!

However, ever since the Criveor started farming, we've been more careful about what we collect when we go out to scavenge!
Look, the dream world is still teeming with Pokémon!
This demonstrates that their "recruitment efforts" have been remarkably effective!
You can't just see me picking things up without seeing all the hard work I put in!

"Alright, alright." Guangtai rubbed her forehead. "You've worked the hardest."

"Aww~ (Of course!)"

Bo Dang Shui was in a very pleasant mood, but seeing the hesitant look on her opponent's face, she became both happy and unhappy.

Are we going to fight or not? While scaring away our opponent would certainly demonstrate our strength, we also want to show off in the real world!

What a disgrace!

Sensing the anger and disdain of the dragon opposite him, Cilan, who had originally planned to send out a certain Pokémon, immediately changed his mind.

Even though I'm a rookie Gym Leader, I can't let a Pokémon look down on me, can I?
"Alright! Come out, my ace!"

Cilan temporarily changed his Poké Ball, deciding to use his highest-level Pokémon to fight the dragon in front of him!
I was originally planning to say, "You haven't met my expectations yet"—but now it's my turn to be the one who hasn't met their requirements!
That was a giant snake-shaped Pokémon!

Its back is dark green, while its belly is light green, with yellow markings all over its body, resembling the noble patterns of royalty. Two curled vines near its neck resemble the collar and cuffs of a suit, and its red eyes exude disdain, giving it an air of both nobility and arrogance!
Serperior! The final evolution of Snivy!

It can amplify the energy generated by sunlight to dozens of times its original value within its long body.

Bert and Cohen, who were watching the game, had subtle expressions on their faces.

“A long time ago, when the three of us brothers embarked on our journey, the Pokémon we received from Dr. Cedric were Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. Later, they evolved into their final forms and became our trump cards.”

Cilan snapped her fingers: "It's been a while since I've sent Serperior into battle, and my partner is eager to participate in a fierce battle. I think it's time to send it out."

The Monarch Snake has a fearsome gaze and a majestic appearance that can intimidate its opponents. It raises its head to threaten them, hence it is known as the monarch of the forest!
It can render its opponent immobile simply by staring at them. It will only get serious with powerful opponents who are not afraid even when stared at by its noble eyes.

At this moment, the Monarch Serpent was staring at the rippling water!
Use water jets to avoid it!

The rippling water heard the voice of the moss, but still had some doubts.

Avoid what?
It was this slight hesitation that prevented the ability to act first from being utilized, and Serperior had already used its move when it landed.

The dark and terrifying illusory eyes stared at the rippling water, and the next moment, a faint electric current appeared on the ancient dragon's body.

"It's the move 'Snake's Gaze'."

Guangtai touched his head.

Bodangshui had been left to roam wild for too long; even during the battle, when a mental connection was established, it still retained its own thoughts.

Well, having your own ideas isn't a bad thing.

However, Bo Dang Shui's mind is always filled with strange and unusual thoughts.

Although he has an impatient personality, he is also very curious.

The rippling water was now gripping its body with its tiny claws.

Oh dear, using a move as soon as you land, how despicable!

However, it's not like I've never encountered it before!

In ancient times, wild Pokémon would shout at each other before a battle, which was equivalent to a warning and a declaration of invasion. However, there were also hunters who would lie in ambush and launch attacks silently.

"Coiled up!"

Curled up, I focused my mind. I improved my attack, defense, and accuracy.

Increases the user's attack level by 1.

Increases the user's defense by 1 level.

Increases the user's hit rate by 1 level!
Cilan commanded Serperior, and the green serpent coiled its body, continuously increasing its power, before glancing disdainfully at the rippling water.

It looks big, but just staring won't do any good.

Guangtai's eyes lit up.

Coiling up is one of Serperior's classic moves. Hmm, so there might be "gastric juice" among the remaining moves, right?

The giant snake's glaring eyes, coiled posture, and stomach acid-laden appearance don't seem like a sign of its good character. Is it because it's usually shown leniency to challengers that this snake is never allowed to show its face?
"Shadow clone! Then continue coiling!"

Seeing that the situation was very favorable, Tian Tong snapped his fingers, and the Serpent Lord immediately split into countless shadows, all looking at the rippling water with provocative eyes.

Shadow Clone creates countless illusory clones, greatly increasing the user's evasion rate. In actual battle, it can also disrupt enemy Pokémon.

The rippling water looked around impatiently, but couldn't tell which was real. Just then, it heard the voice of the moss.

"Aww~" Bodangshui was a little confused. He turned around and looked at Guangtai, only to find that his little dragon trainer was looking at him with an expectant look.

Hmm... Shouldn't I be a little disappointed? After all, I made a mistake at the beginning.

This made Bo Dang Shui feel somewhat guilty and ashamed.

I was a force to be reckoned with in my dreams, but I lost the initiative in the real world. It seems I shouldn't be so curious anymore. I should go back to basics and bite a Pokémon before trying to figure out what it is.

And the trainer was also explaining to himself in a gentle, persuasive tone:

"Trainers are the eyes and ears of Pokémon, while Pokémon are the claws and fangs of trainers. Battles are never just between Pokémon. Since we are partners, we must fight together and neither can be missing."

"It's normal to have some doubts when you return from playing in the wild and enter an official competition for the first time."

"Trainers come up with tactics. Compared to wild Pokémon, Pokémon in competitions are more flexible, versatile, and full of tactics and strange combinations."

"With your strength, that monarch serpent should have a hard time stopping you, as long as you can fully utilize your power."

"How did you fight in the distant past? Not in dreams, but in ancient times. Recall that state of mind, and then, unite with my heart, I will become your eyes."

The moss transmitted its emotions to the rippling water, and the husky growled twice, its brain finally processing what was happening.

Indeed, this battle wasn't one-on-one, but two-on-two. Trainers couldn't just stand by and cheer from the sidelines; they would choose which moves their Pokémon used.

The rippling water calmed its agitated emotions, and its aggressive posture became stable.

The tranquility was fully conveyed, and the trainer's feelings were also fully understood. At the same time, the rippling water entered a peculiar perspective, which seemed to be the trainer's perspective.

So that’s it!
What you can't see yourself, the trainer can see completely!
He will give the appropriate instructions, and all you need to do is trust your partner!
The trainer now has absolute confidence in himself, without the slightest hesitation or doubt, as if everything was within his expectations from the very beginning.

Let's treat this battle as a feast!

And I will be the claws and fangs of my partner!
This immense power exists precisely for this purpose!

call--

The dragon's imposing aura pressed down on the Monarch Serpent, and the gaze of the rippling water changed.

"Roar"

I will hunt you!

The fierce aura emanating from the primordial era startled the Monarch Serpent. The dragon before it no longer had the comical appearance it had at the beginning; it instantly transformed into an extremely dangerous high-level predator!
This isn't an ordinary battle; it's a life-or-death struggle where you could actually be preyed upon! How could something like this happen in a gym battle?

The Monarch Serpent was alarmed, while the Rippling Water heard the voice of the Light Moss.

The trainer's voice came through!
Bo Dang Shui's gaze was firm, and the paralysis effect on her body was still in effect, but an unparalleled and powerful force came from the trainer, and the paralysis effect seemed to no longer affect her.

Ultimately, the chance of being unable to move is only one in four!

The twin tails, swirling in the water, rose high, unleashing tremendous power and a burst of dragon-attribute light!

A double-tail sweep attack that simultaneously targets all Pokémon on the opposing team!
The moss gave the command in its mind:
Wide-area destruction!

Use its strong tail to sweep the opponent and attack, thereby reducing the opponent's attack power!

But the tail of the undulating water is too long and has two tails, making it extremely powerful!

The coiled Serpent's clones were wiped out, and then it was struck hard!
"What kind of move is that? Is it the dragon tail?"

Cilan was taken aback. As a special Dragon-type move, very few creatures in nature can learn this move by leveling up, and Haxorus from the Unova region happens to be one of them.

However, just as Dragon Tail is a secret technique of Shaka, only Dragon-type trainers can receive Shaka's instruction.

The move Wide Area Destruction is still largely unknown to most trainers!
The two tails of the serpent coiled around the serpent, which was tossed high into the air!

A fierce burst of flame erupted from his teeth!

Jet flames!

"A Water-type Pokémon used Flamethrower?"

Tong really wanted to say how could she have such an outrageous dream, but it was true. The giant dragon in front of her could not only use dragon-type moves, but also water and fire-type moves with ease!
Boom! The Serpent Lord was hit head-on by the flames, and Rippling Water followed with a fierce roar.

The shockwaves traveled through the air and swept across the entire gym area, sending Serperior Roar flying and smashing through the gym's walls!

The battle ended in an instant!
Tian Tong: "What? What was that move just now?"

"Hold on! Its power will double when you're in an abnormal state."

Cilan's brother, Koon, recognized the move. Enduring hardship is not an uncommon skill; many Pokémon carry it.

Therefore, when an opponent is in an abnormal state, it is not necessarily an opportunity to win.

"There's really nothing we can do, that dragon is just too powerful."

Tong sighed, looking at the unconscious Serperior that had been knocked down and was lying in the sidelines. He could only think that his luck was really bad this time, and felt quite powerless.

This was already one of my strongest lineups, and after strengthening it for so long, it was defeated in just a few moves. Moreover, the opponent's movement speed was incredibly fast!

It wasn't the speed of Pokémon, but Cilan didn't know how to express it, but this battle did open a new door for him.

[Cilant's new power has been enhanced after defeating the Three Stars Gym Leader!]

[Your Effort Values ​​and Growth Rate with your Pokémon have increased!]

Transform the power of others into your own power, and grow stronger and stronger!
"Please accept this Triad Badge."

The three brothers presented the prepared Triad Badges in a box and handed it over.

Tian Tong sighed and laughed, "Your strength is just as rumored! Now, please allow us to give you a proper welcome!"

"Please enjoy your meal at Sanyo Dojo!"
