Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 292 The Legendary Grass-Green Pearl
Latios and Latias, Latias Blue and Latias Red, are collectively known as the Infinite Pokémon.

Like Deoxys, who represents "a stranger from heaven," the names Latios and Latias also derive their meaning from the world of the gods.

The infinity refers to eternity in Gnosticism, existing in the presence of God for an infinite amount of time. Their connection to the soul and spiritual power stems from the overflow of the supreme God, existing in the universe as a conscious, mystical energy or anthropomorphic form, and is the source of the human soul and mind.

In a sense, the Aquatic Twins are actually angels from the world of gods.

"Latie?"

The heterochromatic Latios didn't know what Deoxys was saying; it conveyed its emotions to this visitor from heaven.

It was born and raised in another world. Although its kind had a story that after death, the soul would leave behind crystals and the mind would return to the realm of light, it had never seen that wondrous world.

The response from the other celestial dios reminded the light moss of the guardian deity of the water city.

In the theatrical version, Latios of Aqua sacrificed himself, and his soul left the planet, rising into the boundless universe, seemingly to return to his distant homeland.

But the soul did not return in the end; it transformed into a new drop of heart water in the light.

[So that's how it is. You also came from that realm, but you arrived too early. It was "God" who brought you here.]

I'm so happy to be able to see my companions from so long ago.

Deoxys was delighted to see more Pokémon from the other world, which made it feel less alone in this world.

Although there are many Pokémon from space, they do not all come from the same realm. Just like the giant Dragon Comet, there are dragons from different realms. Some are dragon gods who bring ideals and reality to the world, while others bring long periods of darkness.

The Latios before him, or rather, these infinite Pokémon, came to this world from the same realm as him.

Starting from the same field, then heading to different worlds.

"That's a Pokémon?"

Ms. Wallachia looked at the Master Ball floating up. She didn't delve into the meaning of the Pokémon inside the ball, but simply asked a question out of curiosity.

Light Moss: "She's my partner."

Wallachia: "I see. So you're surrounded by amazing Pokémon too, because you're special. It's really my luck to have met you."

She sincerely thanked Guangtai, and then took out a prop from her handbag.

"Latios thanked you with a special item, and you allowed us to see each other again. I am truly grateful."

"I am truly happy right now."

As she spoke, she laughed genuinely again, but her voice was choked with emotion.

Latios gently rubbed her cheek, and Wallachia smiled as she wiped away her tears.

"So, thank you, mysterious traveler from afar."

"This is nothing valuable, just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

[Item: PP Max Booster]

[Description: A very expensive potion that can raise the maximum PP of one of the moves a Pokémon has learned to its maximum value.]

"I've decided to pick up my old dreams again, and it doesn't seem too late now."

Ms. Wallachia smiled, but then she looked up at the church again, deeply moved:

"This is truly an incredible place."

“Grandfather was right. There is a point of intersection between the other world and our world. What you see in your dreams may become reality. Dreams are a bridge connecting the two worlds.”

"I will seek out more people who have entered this other world, tell them about the existence of this church, and pass on this feeling of gratitude!"

Lightmoss knew that this place would later become the location visited by the protagonists in Black and White, and that the strange people who appeared in the church would come here one after another. After the C-device was mass-produced, people began to understand the power of release.

Having bid farewell to Ms. Wallachia, Lightmoy had achieved her purpose in coming to this church, and unintentionally completed a helpful task as well.

【mission completed! 】

[Rewards: 5 Released Jade, 1 Long-Awaited Longing, 1 Heart Vortex, 10 Star Fragments, 2 Giant Golden Beads!]

【Long-held longing: A sentiment of longing that gathers numerous emotions and gratitude, containing past dreams, which can greatly enhance your emotional perception, giving you a strong ability to sense and connect with the emotions of the soul, nature, and life.】

[Heart Vortex: The ability to transform memories and longings into a vortex of the heart, and to infuse it into crafted items. People and Pokémon you encounter will leave their reflections in the Heart Vortex; encounters are the beginning of everything.]

[Note: This is one of the dream links.]

[Bonus: Sky Blessing x1! VSTAR Heavenly Power x1!]

As for star fragments, they are not uncommon in the Unova.

And the enormous gold bead goes without saying.

[Props: Giant Golden Bead]

[Description: A large, shimmering bead made of pure gold. Collectors will offer high prices for it.]

Riolu glanced back at the church.

It was deeply moved by the friendship between Latios and Wallachia.

Memories and longings for the blue-haired puppy—it once had something like that too, but it ended before it even fully began.

So all that remains in my memories is regret and disappointment.

"Wangwu?"

Riolu initiated a conversation with Lapras, asking what Lapras's life was like in ancient times and if it had any special memories.
But the burning insect blinked its innocent eyes, full of question marks.

I don't know! I was resurrected in modern times.

Although the fire moth talked a lot about the lifestyles of the ancients, it only lived for a few hundred years and what it saw was just a record left over from the ancient city.

Those ancient spirits probably know more; anyway, they say I'm the offspring of some god or something.

Rather than relying on ancient memories, it's better to ask the Aegislash, since it truly lived in ancient times.

"No, we shouldn't have too high hopes."

Lightmoss intervened in the two children's conversation: "The Aegislash's memories are also fragmented; it used to work as a janitor in the Ancient Kingdom."

"Here you go!"

One of the Poké Balls on its waist wobbled, and Aegislash was very unhappy!
What words, what kind of words are these!

Even though I was just doing odd jobs, I learned a lot of useful things, didn't I?
Does a knight who does odd jobs not count as a knight?

Riolu shook his head and sighed.

Oh dear, my teammates all seem completely oblivious to the future, and of course, they don't remember the past either.

However, the absence of a past means that memories can be created starting now.

The blue-haired puppy pondered carefully, then looked at the heart scale in its hand.

Instead of simply practicing self-cultivation, it's about embarking on a long journey. Along the way, I've truly witnessed many interesting things.

If you continue to follow your trainer, you will see more and create more memories!

So it raised its heart scale high, and the scale shone brightly in the sunlight.

Guangtai finally had time to ponder the green pearl.

To be honest, this thing startled Guangtai.

[Item (?): A grass-green gem.]

[Description: A precious jewel radiating an emerald green glow, deeply connected to the legends of the Hoenn region. Long hidden in the church of Hoenn City, it has accumulated dust and seems to have traveled through vast distances of time and space to reach this world, having lost its owner.] [Effect: A jewel capable of summoning Rayquaza at a significant location. It is a rare crystallization of natural energy. Perhaps something will happen if given to Rayquaza.]

A precious gem of energy.

When it comes to such things, setting aside the three treasures of life, fire, and poison, the most familiar ones are probably the vermilion treasure and the indigo treasure.

They are all crystallizations of natural energy, and the corresponding Pokémon are Groudon and Kyogre.

If you give the two gems to these two Pokémon, they will enter a Primal Regression state, causing terrible droughts and torrential rains.

However, what is little known is that Rayquaza also has a corresponding gem.

Unlike the crimson and indigo orbs, the grass-green orb cannot allow Rayquaza to enter the Primal Reversion state, and this orb has only appeared once in all previous works.

Professor Oak obtained this gem from an unknown source and gave it to the protagonist of the game, with almost no mention of its origin.

It's something that's supposed to be related to Hoenn, yet it ended up in Professor Oak's hands in the Kanto region.

It is unknown who left it, or what kind of natural force it is the crystallization of, perhaps it comes from the power of the sky, but its name has been completely overshadowed by "the legendary megalith" and "the seven-colored meteorite" in later generations.

The meteorite that enabled Rayquaza to enter its Mega Evolution form gradually gained fame, while the grass-green orb was forgotten in the corner of legend.

Compared to tangible forces like continents and oceans, the sky, with its storms alone, cannot condense any truly dazzling natural crystals. It lacks a suitable vessel, and perhaps the grass-green jewels were created or born by sheer chance.

In the special episode, the green gem is revealed to be an artificial creation made in an attempt to control Rayquaza. The green gem is used to understand Rayquaza's thoughts. However, before this setting was revealed, the green gem had not even made its official appearance.

"However, if we're talking about origins, there really is a bit of a connection."

When digging to the deepest point, a male mountaineer described the geological soil of Mount Ross, claiming that the soil there was very similar to that of the Hoenn region.

In other words, the crystallization of natural energy that exists in Hoenn may also exist in the Unova region.

"A region that connects most parts of the world. That is United Nations."

"It is impossible to know who hid this precious jewel in the church."

"During the black and white era of streaming, there was a Rayquaza wielding V-Flame."

The grass-green orb still emitted a dim glow, without any fluctuation of power. What the moss sensed from it was a wind that illuminated all things.

It wasn't light, but wind, or rather, a very bright green current.

"Summon Rayquaza to sit in the Buried Tower at an important location?"

"However, it's completely unnecessary, and you don't have any mission to fulfill."

Lightmoss could only sigh, looking at the useless bead, and thought to herself, if you want to blame someone, blame Arceus or Rayquaza. After all, Rayquaza doesn't have a Primal Reversion form, only a Mega Evolution form.

Your only purpose, this bead that appeared only once, was to summon Rayquaza, so you were forgotten by the world, and later eras no longer needed you.

The Sky Pillar and the seven-colored meteorite of Hoenn will do the work for you.

How pitiful.

The fact that I would feel such emotions about a precious bead is because the grass-green bead is indeed a one-time service product. It was designed but not given any real power. It is the most authentic natural crystal, yet it has ended up being inferior to a rainbow meteorite.

For some reason, as Guangtai sighed, she vaguely sensed a feeling of regret from the grass-green pearl.

That was the natural wind echoing, but it's also possible that the orbs truly have their own will. After all, in the special episodes and anime, the orbs correspond to the will of Groudon and Kyogre. Anyone who tries to manipulate the orbs will be controlled by those two primordial beasts, making them extremely dangerous.

From this perspective, the grass-green gem is actually the safest gem.

Lightmoss put the green orb into its backpack and, together with Riolu and Burning Bug, arrived at the famous hotel in Fanba City.

"Let's start making the Wonderful Soda. It's an incredible juice that can make Pokémon grow quickly. All the ingredients are ready."

Following the hotel reception's directions, we arrived at the largest room. Guangtai casually asked for some special tools. Of course, hotels in the Pokémon world would prepare things like juicers, and they were delivered to us in no time.

Lightmoss threw out all the Poké Balls, releasing all the Pokémon.

Aegislash, Miss Skirt, Torterra, Slug, Burning Bug, Riolu, Entei the Phantom, and the soon-to-be-returning Deer Sprout and Axew.

As for Deoxys, it hovered in mid-air in its Master Ball form, since its active time was only three minutes. Lightmoy wondered if feeding Deoxys a Mystery Berry would accelerate its growth.

Three of them were not his own Pokémon, bringing the total to ten.

Recalling the anime, the power Deoxys needed to grow was most likely meteorite energy?

The Deoxys that Rayquaza defeated in the North Pole took three or four years to recover from its core form. My Deoxys, nourished by various droplets, shouldn't need that long to fully recover.
I guess so!
Magnetic fields and magnetic instruments can interfere with Deochis.

After Yan Di came out, he began to look around the room. Guang Tai could sense what Yan Di was thinking and immediately chuckled: "Of course, this place can't compare to your Crystal Tower."

Emperor Yan: "I'm just observing human architecture with an appreciative eye. As for comparisons, there might be some." It was a little embarrassed.

The Crystal Tower's artistic design is indeed unique, but it was created simultaneously by Xiao Mei and the Unknown Totem; Xiao Mei was merely the supervisor.

After all, princesses are meant to live in castles, aren't they?

Lightmoss handed the Mysterious Fruit and the Rose Fruit to Miss Skirt. She cut the two fruits in half and buried them under the connecting sapling on the turtle's back on the earthen platform. In this way, new fruits could begin to grow. The fertile special soil and the one and only connecting sapling could do many things. After being blessed by the White Forest, this tree underwent a wonderful transformation.

Seeing its companions gathered together in a lively scene, the Earth Tortoise gently swayed its body, channeling its powerful life force into the tree on its back. Soon, small fruits began to appear on the tree, rapidly ripening under the force of its life force.

Those fruits are indeed "pear blossom fruits".

Thump, thump, pear blossom fruits fell one after another, and each Pokémon got one. This kind of fruit is not listed in the Pokédex. After eating it, it can soothe the throat and heal the sore throat. It is also very delicious.

Bodangshui was the most greedy. It picked up a pear blossom and took a bite. The juice filled its mouth and contained its favorite sweetness, which made Bodangshui's eyes light up immediately.

It tastes just as good as peaches! Is this the legendary treasure bestowed by the forest?

Thank you, Turtle!

Water rarely says thank you to other Pokémon, not even to Calyrex, but it shows genuine respect to Torterra!

After all, this mobile tree fruit buffet restaurant is a one-of-a-kind! As long as you follow the turtle, you'll never have to worry about not having anything to eat!

"Hmm, this is a fruit I've never seen before, and it tastes amazing."

Emperor Yan gave the Pear Blossom Fruit a very high rating. The Burning Bug roasted the Pear Blossom Fruit and ate it, and the aroma was irresistible. Riolu also buried its head in eating it. Meanwhile, Aegislash and Miss Skirt consumed the fruit by absorbing it.

The other two, the budding deer looked around and then walked to the edge of the window, where it saw the ships outside.

It had seen this scene before, and it recognized this place.

Fanba City. Once you're here, you're not far from your hometown.

The budding deer nodded to the light moss and gently licked it with its tongue as a sign of its gratitude.

The Axew stared blankly at its companion, sensing that its companion's longing for home was growing stronger, but its own homeland was still very far away.

How long has passed since it was carried away by the plasma cloud? The axew can't keep track of time; its trainer's image is just a blur in its memory.

I still remember the words my trainer said when he took me on this journey. It felt like an unreal dream. Later, the dream shattered, and my trainer abandoned his dream of becoming a dragon trainer and gave me away to Team Plasma.

Will I be able to see my trainer once I return to my hometown?
Seeing the state of the budding deer, a sense of anticipation rose in the heart of the axe-toothed dragon.

"Give!"

Suddenly, a glass of juice appeared in front of the Axew.

The magical soda is ready and smells wonderful.

The Axew blinked and took the soda.

Lightmoss, also a dragon tamer, comforted the Axefang Dragon.

"Don't worry, let's rest well today and then start again."
