Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 314 The Mystery at the End of Heaven and Earth

"Won?!"

"We lost?!"

Both sides were filled with disbelief. Wanlong hadn't expected his clay giant to be defeated, while Fenglu couldn't believe that her side had won.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wanlong suddenly shrugged and sighed:

"Oh dear, what a blunder! How could this happen! To lose because of stomping my foot, I should have used that too."

"The combination of the Explosive Fist and the stomp is also very powerful, but if the Explosive Fist hits, I won't need to stomp at all."

"But... is that Axew-toothed Dragon really that strong? Why wasn't it used in the previous battle against the King?"

Lightmoss looked at the Haxorus, which was roaring with its head raised, full of fighting spirit: "This one, like Deerclops, is not my Pokémon. It is on its way back to its homeland."

"Its hometown is Shuanglong City!"

The Haxorus was now extremely agitated!
With increased power, and under the guidance and assistance of its friends, it evolved into an even more powerful form!
With such power, even the original trainers will no longer feel weak!
The two-handed war dragon was filled with gratitude. It stared intently at the light moss, lowered its head obediently, and rubbed against the light moss like a big dog.

Despite having sharp, axe-like teeth, Haxorus is a Pokémon with a gentle temperament.

The Double-Haxed Dragon also sensed the same dragon aura emanating from the Lightmoss.

This puzzled it somewhat. But upon closer reflection, it realized that some dragon tamers did indeed possess similar powers. Its original owner, due to insufficient training, lacked this ability, yet some individuals in Twin Dragon City possessed such an aura.
It was a human with a white beard.
"Isn't this dragon the shopkeeper's?" Wanlong asked in surprise. "But if a Pokémon is this strong, its original trainer must have been very powerful as well. Or did it become stronger after following the shopkeeper?"

Hikari: "Following me is like carrying a learning device, which will help it grow."

Wanlong asked curiously, "Similar to a learning device? Is this also a superpower? Superpowers are really convenient!"

Ju Laoda stomped his feet repeatedly: "Ah! I actually lost! That Dancing Swan was almost defeated, Feng Lu, what was that last move you used!"

Feng Lu pressed her fingers against her cheek, pretending to think. In fact, she hadn't expected her Swan Dance to have this skill.

"It seems to be a move called brute force."

"Right, Mr. Hikari!"

Feng Lu had never seen this move before, so he wasn't too sure either.

Guangtai chuckled: "That's right, brute force, inflicting damage, making the opponent's life as equal to your own, and using it when you're in dire straits can turn the tide of battle."

"If possible, the first Pokémon to deal with this move should be Golem, but unfortunately, Miss Wanlong's Pokémon are all Ghost-type, which are not affected by Normal-type moves."

"As for why you haven't seen it, it's because although many Pokémon can learn this move, Flygon and Excadrill are not among those that can learn it."

Boss Ju's expression froze instantly.

What's going on? Is this racial discrimination?!
What a coincidence!

"What a clever trick! What a clever trick!"

Ju Laoda could only rage in vain, and even Feng Lu chuckled: "Ju Laoda used 'stomping foot'!"

"The effect doesn't seem to be very good." Wanlong covered her mouth and smiled.

"But this time, it's all thanks to you!" Feng Lu's eyes sparkled: "I really didn't expect that the final counterattack could turn the tide with the Axew Fang Dragon and the Dancing Swan!"

"Sava." The dancing swan slurped up the emergency jelly that the moss handed it, looked up and responded, clearly pleased!

It defeated the Elite Four's Golem! Even though it was just a roadside impromptu battle, to be honest, wouldn't it be great to show this result to other Pokémon that challenge it?
And we've also secured the planting rights for Glorious Vegetables! Now I can finally say, Clay Golem, not bad at all!
The clay giant opposite him got up from the ground and his eyes flickered when he heard the swan's mutterings.

Oh dear! This little swan seems to be having some incredible fantasy. I must get my revenge next time!

Okay. I'll definitely do it next time!
By the way, could I have one of those jelly or energy bars too?

"Fine! As proof of your defeat, this badge is yours!"

Boss Ju took a shiny badge out of his shirt pocket and handed it to Guangtai!
Lightmoss: "I got the Vibration Badge."

"Ah, and mine too!" Feng Lu stroked her hair. "Although I couldn't fight you this time, we managed to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings together. That proves your strength! As promised, I'll give you my badge too!"

Feng Lu also took out a badge from her body. The blue and white color scheme symbolized the wings of freedom!

Jet Badge!

[Obtained: Vibration Badge/Jet Badge!]

[Description: Symbols of defeating the Fanba Gym and Fubuki Gym. The former's design concept is a fault line in the earth's strata containing a green gem, while the latter's design concept is a feather, or a cloud trail drawn by a gliding bird.]

[O bearer of the Shock Badge! Make your opponent's heart tremble!]

[Bearer of the Jet Badge! Jet forward with tremendous power!]

[Effect: One of the proofs to open the gates to the Pokémon League, and one of the two reward items.]

[Note: The Tree of Connection has been linked to the Vibration Badge/Jet Badge, granting access to the knowledge—the mystery at the ends of the earth!]

Ground and flight represent earth and sky; together with the mind, they represent infinite space! You and your Pokémon gain Terrain/Weather Adaptation, reducing the negative effects of terrain and weather by 50%, and gaining an understanding of the mysteries and powers of terrain and weather!

[Additional Knowledge: Triathlon – Improves cycling, running, and swimming abilities by 150%, helps you understand the essence and techniques of each sport, and reduces the impact of severe weather and seasons by 50%.]

[Craftable items: Bicycle/Sonic Bike/Motorcycle/Rotom Bike/Running Shoes (Special)/Roller Skates (Special)/Diving Equipment/Riding Gear!]

Oh, this connection knowledge is quite useful!

Terrain and weather are two important natural environments and battle systems in the Pokémon world. Making good use of terrain and weather is the key to victory and long journeys!
The so-called secret of terrain and weather is that when using weather and terrain destruction or field-type moves, the effect will be better and the impact will be greater!

It can even temporarily simulate some weather effects using superpowers!
However, the Pokémon world has a Weather Institute and a Season Institute, but it doesn't seem to have a Geological Institute.

The Hoenn Weather Research Institute can develop machines to control the weather, which demonstrates their understanding and application of weather forces. I previously gained knowledge of the four seasons from the Seasonal Research Institute, but I could only create measuring instruments; I didn't have any machines capable of controlling seasonal changes.

However, the season system in the Pokémon world is unrelated to battles, and its impact on the ecological environment seems minimal.

In certain regions, some seasons may not even exist, so even if a machine were made to control the seasons, it would be useless.

Speaking of bicycles, while you can buy them, Guangtai is confident that the ones he can build himself will be even better. Besides, isn't it just "riding duels" to battle Pokémon while riding a bicycle?
Since that's the case, why not modify the bicycle's appearance to have D-wheels!
Well played.

The Giant King's voice rang out. He had watched the battle just now and was quite enthusiastic and appreciative of it, even somewhat eager to try it himself.

After getting rid of the slow start, who will be the first unlucky one?

[If there is a dragon to fight, use the Key of Giants to summon me. The Moon Kingdom can transcend time and space; as long as I am here, I will surely answer your call.]

Staying underground is quite boring, and without Slow Start, even sleeping has lost its appeal. Fortunately, Mount Ross is home to a large number of wild Pokémon, and studying their characteristics is what Giant King plans to do next. Moreover, this mountain isn't inaccessible; if Giant King wants to, it can easily leave and wander off to other places.

[Traveling and observing in a world without dragons seems like a good option. I wonder what this new world will be like? I'm really looking forward to it.]

Lightmoss: "That must be a very interesting world."

"Oh, and bring this along too. It's something I tried to create a long time ago, but I failed. However, it can still be used as a powerful energy core, which should be very useful for Dragon-type Pokémon."

This is a portion of the energy once taken from that dragon.

Regigicas retrieved an ancient, deep red rock from the dark gate and gifted it to the Lightmoss.

According to the Giant King's description, this stone was taken from the body of the Dragon God of the Dao.

[Item: Dragon Core (Dragon Jade Crystal Core)!]

[Description: A crystallization of pure dragon-attribute energy stolen from the legendary Dragon God. The Giant King originally sought this energy to strengthen his giants, granting them the power to contend with dragons, but he was unable to integrate it into his creations.]

[Effect: When held by a Dragon-type Pokémon, the power of Dragon-type moves is increased by 50%.]

The moss fiddled with the dark red core, which looked to be about the size of a basketball.

But why does this color look so familiar?
By the way, isn't this effect the special effect of "Regidorago"?

The Unova Giants King was unskilled and failed to create Reidoragor, while the Galar Giants King did manage to create it, albeit only as a half-finished product.
Ha, is this the difference in skill between giant kings?
"Hmm, I was thinking, should we ask the Giant King for help excavating the mountain?" Boss Kiku crossed his arms and pondered, then said to the others, "Actually, getting from Fanba City to Fuki City is still too troublesome. We have to pass through the Tourmaline Cave, and there's no convenient way to get there."

"So I plan to dig a road through Mount Ross in Fanba City. However, this idea is still just a plan on paper."

"Ah! Wouldn't that be very convenient!" Feng Lu said happily, "I'm quite in favor of it; it sounds very interesting."

Wanlong spread his hands: "Whether it's East United or West United, communication between the South and the North is quite difficult. The Ross Mountains and Reversal Mountains stretch across the United world, forming a natural barrier."

If we could turn a natural barrier into a thoroughfare, that would be the best outcome!

"Hey, manager, where are you planning to go next?"

Wanlong asked Guangtai with great confusion, "If we want that Haxorus to return home, the next place to go is Twin Dragons City, right? It goes right through Mt. Ross, passes through Snowflake City, and we can even get the Gym Badge there!"

Guangtai shook her head: "No, I want to go to Shanlu Town."

"Mountain Road Town?" Feng Lu asked curiously, her hands behind her back. "If we take my plane, we'll get there quickly! But Mountain Road Town is a mountain town, and supplies are scarce."

"Ah! I know!" Feng Lu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Guangtai is a craftsman, so he must have heard about the volcanic ceramics of Shanlu Town and wanted to learn it! Speaking of Shanlu Town's specialties, this is the only one!"

"Even on a global scale, these are very famous handicrafts! Few regions can rival the ceramic craftsmanship of Shanlu Town! So, although Shanlu Town has a somewhat peculiar town style, it is still a very popular place!"

Wanlong was also quite excited: "Hey, this looks like a really interesting place. I'll go too! I have a feeling something's going to happen. I bet the shop manager isn't just going there for the volcanic ceramics."

Guangtai coughed softly: "I'm going to send a soul away, or rather, to help a soul."

"Sending away the soul?"

"Yeah. A legendary Pokémon asked me for a favor, since I also work part-time as a psychic. Do you know about the spirits of the Mountain Path Town?"

"...The undead?" Wanlong's eyes began to light up. His exploratory desire as a ghost novelist was burning like a flame!
After the Tower of Paradise incident, the souls of Pokémon and humans appeared, so the dead truly exist!

I didn't expect it to be over yet!
"Ah, is that the family?" Feng Lu's tone suddenly lowered, and her expression became somewhat serious.
"The place where the sad events of Shanlu Town took place, the mysterious place near Zhuanzhao Mountain, is said to be inhabited by real ghosts."

Feng Lu's expression was somewhat subtle: "I've seen that girl before, but I was very young back then."

Lightmoss: "The girl is trapped in an eternal nightmare. In order to save her, her parents searched for information about Pokémon related to the dream in a distant region."

"However, even though we obtained the legendary item 'Crescent Feather,' we still couldn't save the girl's life."

Feng Lu was very surprised: "Crescent Feather?! That's the feather of the legendary Pokémon that brings sweet dreams. It's said to be able to dispel all nightmares!"

She's a pilot, so she knows a lot about props like feathers.

Crescent Wing is a relatively obscure item, but since Fenglu and her grandfather's planes travel between Unova, Kanto, and Sinnoh, Fenglu knows some secrets.

"I've heard that Cresselia is supposedly an incredible Crescent Pokémon!"

“Then let’s set off tomorrow! I also want to see the Crescent Feather…” Feng Lu suddenly became excited, but stopped mid-sentence.

Guangtai took out the replica: "Here, this is the Crescent Feather. It's just a carved replica, but it still has the effect, though not as strong as the original."

"My Crescent Wing is much better than the souvenirs from Ashford in the Sinnoh region."

"Here, take this as a thank you gift and consider it payment for your flight tomorrow."

Feng Lu: "Hey, I'm not the kind of person who charges people casually! But since you put it that way, I'll accept it! After all, it's a treasure from a mysterious traveler!"

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the replica crescent feather, sensing a subtle, unusual aura emanating from it.

Although it's a wooden carving, once it's painted, it looks just like a soft feather from a distance! It's truly amazing!

"Oh right! What about the Glorious Vegetables I mentioned before??" Feng Lu tilted her head, thinking of the "commercial orders" that Wu Tian'e had secured for her.

Lightmoss smiled: "A particularly excellent vegetable. It was grown in the dream world. The legendary Pokémon called Calyrex was the one that grafted and popularized this vegetable."

"Fukiyoshi is the best vegetable growing area in the world because it has distinct seasons, greenhouses for growing vegetables, and fertile soil. I think this is also why the Mikumo Shinkai comes here every few years."

“That’s right!” Boss Kiku chimed in, “Sankumo Island near Fanba City also has a lot of high-quality resurrection grass! It’s said to be related to the legend of the Land Cloud!”

Lightmoss explained, "The Earth Cloud transforms the power of wind and thunder into nutrients for the soil, which are then infused into the earth, resulting in exceptionally fertile soil."

"While thunderclouds and tornado clouds may cause a ruckus, the wind and rain brought by tornado clouds nourish all things, the earth clouds use sunlight and abundant blessings to make vegetation grow rapidly, and then the thunderclouds use lightning to burn these vegetation and turn them into fertilizer. By repeating the above steps, the land here can become more and more fertile."

"You can't know how amazing Radiant Vegetables are just by talking about them, can you? It's okay, you'll see after tonight!"

"I have one request regarding the cultivation of 'Brilliant Vegetables' in Fukiyo City."

"Use the image of the Crowned Calyx as the product label and logo for Glorious Vegetables when exporting!"

When the name of the Crowned Queen was learned by the group, Wanlong suddenly thought of something.

"Ah, is this it?!"

She quickly sketched a large head of the Crested King in her notebook:

"It's the big-headed doll that the store manager sold to Cattleya before!"
