Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 320 The Real Ghost Trainer
When Cresselia, the legendary Crescent Moon Pokémon, descended, the people below stared wide-eyed.

The nightmare energy that had been lurking here was completely purified, and Cresselia expressed her gratitude after Darkrai left.

Cresselia flew over from afar.

It wants to give the moss something important... as a token of gratitude!
That was a real crescent feather!
A shimmering feather fell from its body and drifted into the hand of the moss.

[Item: Crescent Feather (Special)]

[Description: A sheer, gauze-like feather that radiates a moonlit glow. It possesses the power to dispel nightmares!]

[Effect: Dispels the power and world of nightmares, healing the personality and mind. Because it is genuine, its power is much greater than that of imitations!]

[Note: This is a special feather imbued with Cresselia's gratitude. It contains power related to the new moon. Using it on Fairy and Psychic-type Pokémon might allow them to learn certain moves.]

【mission completed. 】

[Rewards: 10 Released Jade, 1 Echo of the Spirit Realm, 1 Ghostly Gift, 1 Radiant Soul, 1 Fantasy Power.]

[The Tree of Connection has increased the rewards for quests, and the gratitude of Cresselia, Darkrai, and the undead girl has flowed into the world of Connection.]

[Echoes of the Spirit Realm: A fluctuation from the spirit realm that has a healing effect on undead and ghost Pokémon.]

[Ghost Gift: A gift that greatly increases the friendship level between Ghost Pokémon and True Ghosts.]

[Radiant Soul: The radiance emanating from the souls of humans and Pokémon. Your Solar Power has been enhanced, allowing you to emit a powerful light that eliminates the weaknesses of Ghosts. You can bestow this light upon any soul, enabling it to clearly perceive the existence of the world!]

[Fantasy Energy: An incredible and unique energy that blurs the boundaries between worlds, and is the special power that created the "Phantom Tower" in the Hoenn region. Giving it to a Pokémon makes it immune to all effects except damage.]

[Note: Dream link, part two.]

[Additional: Craftable items: Perfume Eliminator, Super Glasses, Fantasy Door.]

【additional!】

[The Darkrai of the stars has granted you the power to freely roam the nightmares. Within the nightmares, you will be seen as a vessel for the power of "Darkrai," and you can now connect with the nightmare world. Perhaps other Darkrai will become interested in your abilities.]

"I will begin your treatment now."

Lightmoss took out an energy capsule and a vitality potion to replenish Deoxys's strength. However, Deoxys had already started flashing its lights after its strength was almost exhausted.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong
Although the sound was faint, I definitely heard it.

It silently gazed at Darkrai's death, and then watched as his soul soared into the sky, drawn back into the universe by the power of the stars.

Oh, my distant homeland.

As Deochis held such hopes, he couldn't help but begin to reminisce about his past.

There are many Pokémon worlds in the universe, and this is just one of them.

Perhaps Darkrai will be reborn in the universe, its soul will reappear from the shadows, and then it will be reborn as a new Pokémon.

Who can truly understand the affairs of the universe and the soul?
In short, although it is strange, the departed souls, no matter how long ago they have been gone, can return from the spirit world. Deoxys confirmed this after seeing those departed souls in the Tower of Heaven.

This world is truly amazing!
"However, this world also has cycles." Lightmoss heard Deoxys's thoughts and gently patted it.

Aren't the heroes of Waveguide the epitome of soul rebirth?

[C-Device Skin: A skin used on the C-Device. Completing special world events allows for a skin recording, which may also record special fluctuations. "Darkrai of the Stars" has already been recorded! It allows the use of "Nightmare Waves"—an enhancement of Nightmare attribute power. Through the C-Device, it can receive and transmit signals from the Nightmare World.]

"The nightmare is gone! A beautiful new dream will heal us. There's only one task left here."

This dreamlike battle has come to an end. Feng Lu gazes at the boundless universe, her heart pounding.

The sky the pilots traveled to was merely the starting point for their journey into the universe, and she was very grateful for this experience with Darkrai.

She could recall past memories and see an incredible new sky. She also glanced at Guangtai without leaving a trace, and a cryptic smile appeared on her lips.

And Wanlong is even more so!
This research trip was very fruitful, wasn't it?
Back inside the stranger's house, the power of the spirit world is dissipating!

"The door is open!"

The room was spotless, just like it had been many years ago. It was the central room of the strangers' house, and also the young girl's boudoir.

On a bed not far away lay a pale, lifeless soul. The undead girl had returned here as Guangtai had told her, and now, filled with passion and hope, she slept peacefully once more. This time, she was undisturbed by nightmares, and her expression was calm, with a relaxed and joyful smile.

Inside the room, the real crescent feather shone with a dazzling light.

Guangtai took out many cleansing talismans from her backpack and placed them in various places in the room. The swirling negative forces quickly subsided. Terror, sadness, and pain swirled like a vortex and finally disappeared without a trace.

"Incredibly, I can no longer feel that faint pain and sorrow. Has it been dispelled?"

Granny Feng looked quite surprised, seemingly not expecting that the ghostly incident that had plagued the residents of Shanlu Town for many years was truly coming to an end.

Then, the spirit girl let out a soft moan, slowly opened her eyes, and awoke from the dream of her soul.

This time, I'm truly awake.

No longer plagued by nightmares, no longer invaded by negative energy, a warm and gentle breeze seemed to caress the heart of the undead girl. She stared blankly at the moss of light before her, wanting to reach out and touch it.
bumped into!
The undead girl was startled, and withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted. After tilting her head blankly for a moment, a blush appeared on her face.

For so many years, she never thought she could touch real things again. Moreover, this scene of being awakened from a long-dormant dream is very similar to the various knight and princess novels circulating among the people.

But thinking about it carefully, I'm actually older than everyone here, so there's no need to be shy, right?
She tried to cheer herself up, but then she suddenly remembered the emotions and memories she had lost, which now seemed to have returned.

How long has it been since I felt this wonderful feeling?
She looked at the moss, and this time, her eyes were filled with gratitude.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, miss."

Guangtai took the ghost girl's hand and led her to the crowd like a ballroom dancer.

Trainer type: Mini skirt.

Although the ghost girl was a little embarrassed, she thought that this feeling was also a sign of getting rid of nightmares and returning to normal, so she mustered up her courage and accepted Guangtai's hand in a generous manner.

The warm spiritual energy constantly reminded me that I was already a departed soul.

This made her look slightly disappointed.

Ah! Right, there's someone else here?
The undead girl recognized the old woman in the mountain town; she opened her mouth and murmured clearly:

"Grandma Wind, I've woken up! It's been so long!"

The girl's voice was ethereal, without a trace of terror, but rather as melodious and pleasant as a lark's!
"Nara, you recognize me?"

Granny Feng stared blankly at the spirit girl who had regained consciousness. When she first met her, all she had left was the thought of returning the Crescent Moon Feather.

Fragmented memories symbolize that the past cannot be retrieved, but now... has everything returned?

Wanlong was extremely excited and amazed: "Although I have seen countless souls in the Tower of Heaven, this is the first time I have ever spoken with a human spirit!"

“The spirit has awakened. Although the power of the nightmare still lingers here, it will no longer affect her.” Lightmoss smiled: “My promise to Cresselia has been fulfilled.”

"However, even souls do not necessarily have to return to the spirit world."

In the Pokémon world, many spirits like to linger in the real world. If you just open a haunted house to scare people, it doesn't seem like you'll attract the wrath of Dusknoir. Only evil spirits like the Ghost Girl from Mt. Coronet, who want to harm people, will be chased by Dusknoir.

The girl in the stranger's house was undoubtedly a kind-hearted girl.

Even if he died without ever using the Crescent Feather, he still wanted to return it to Cresselia.

"Hello! I'm Fenglu, a pilot from Fuki City!" Fenglu reached out to the ghost girl, who was somewhat timid, but looked at Fenglu with great curiosity.

Granny Feng happily explained to Nala, "Don't you know Feng Lu? She's the little girl who used to be with Grandpa Mair."

Nera blinked, and from her fragmented memories, images of a tall, old pilot and a red-haired girl who loved to fly and had played with her gradually emerged.

However, no matter what, she couldn't reconcile the red-haired girl with the tall young woman in front of her.

Nala's tone was somewhat complicated: "Have you grown up yet?"

"Yes, I've grown quite tall now, and I'm not the same as before when I cried." Feng Lu's expression softened, as if she were reminiscing about the past: "I remember you used to be very tall, and we used to play together, right?"

"Mm." Nala nodded gently, though she was smiling, her disappointment was undeniable.
“It’s been a long time, and Xiaofenglu has grown up.”

"Only my time remains frozen at the moment of death."

"I remember now, didn't we have an argument before about whether flying or teleportation is better?"

Without hesitation, Feng Lu replied, "Although I cried back then, I still think flying is better!"

"Although it's not as fast as teleportation, you can see a lot of scenery and enjoy the exhilarating feeling of soaring. Isn't that great? With teleportation, you wouldn't feel anything!"

Nera suddenly smiled: "If it's not teleportation, it can save more time and allow us to visit more places. The scenery on the ground is also very nice; the sky is just full of clouds and there's nothing to see."

"Great flight!"

"Instant teleportation would be even better!"

The two girls started arguing, but after looking at each other for a while, they both burst out laughing.

The argument from their childhood is long past, but they still remember it vividly; it's like a replay of their childhood.

Time returns from the past and reunites them in the present.

"Fenglu is still as adorable as ever!"

Nera was overjoyed. Although she was dead, the people she knew were still alive, and her memories had not faded!
This made her spirits soar, and even her soul began to glow faintly.

Then the undead girl looked at Wanlong, and this "older sister" gave her a very warm feeling.

"Me? I'm Wanlong, a ghost novelist!"

Wanlong observed the undead girl before him with great interest.

"Ghost. Novelist." The undead girl repeated Wanlong's words with a puzzled look, but upon hearing "ghost," she still asked, "Are you a Ghost-type trainer?"

Wanlong: "That's right! I'm one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Unova region."

"The Elite Four are so great." The ghost girl was slightly taken aback, then envy appeared in her eyes. She used to want to be a trainer too.

Casey, that's right. After they passed away, their parents entrusted their Casey with the task of teleporting around the world to find a cure for them, but after their parents died, Casey disappeared.

Where is Casey now?
"right here."

Guangtai took out the white stone as a token of gratitude.

"No matter where Casey is, I will make sure you meet it."

"But suddenly I wondered, if Casey came back, could the undead also become trainers?"

"Huh? Me?" Nera was confused and found it unbelievable: "But I'm already dead."

Guangtai shrugged: "There is no difference between being dead and living. You still exist in this world."

"In fact, the creator of this world is quite humane in this respect. I know that many spirits continue to move around in the world even after they die. As long as they do not do bad things to the living, how they continue to 'live' is their own business."

This matter was as unbelievable as a book written in the heavens. Not only was Naila confused, but Wanlong, Fenglu, and even Granny Feng all found it incredible.

However, this is not a hoax.

The House of Horrors in the Carlos region is inhabited by an old man named Cole who is a ghost. He has been "dead" for at least two hundred years and still plays pranks on travelers in the House of Horrors along with the Gastly family.

The Maiden Gorge in the Kanto region is a classic example, where an unnamed ghostly girl resides in a stone statue, accompanied by a talking Gastly, though the latter claims it only comes to work every year.

In "The Distant Blue Sky", Ash also encountered a boy named Harune, who was a ghost. Using the power of Aura, he was able to touch Pokémon. Although his parents could not see him, the boy's spirit was always with them.

As for the ghosts in the game, there are even more. Some come out of the spirit world to deliver messages, some stay in elevators to scare people, and some act as nuclear explosion observers at close range in the Four Heavenly Kings Challenge.

Even the crystal on his body contains a legendary soul!
"As long as you maintain a passionate and living spirit, your soul can also have its own way of life in the world. Aren't the ghost Pokémon in this house good friends?"

“I also have a friend who is looking for a way to resurrect his deceased companion, though he may not be able to find one. But I think what ghosts lack is simply a physical body to move in, or rather, the ability to be seen only by certain people.”

"Compared to other ghosts, your power is already very strong. Everyone here can see you, can't they?"

"Of course, everyone here has some special abilities, more or less. Let me help you."

Light emanated from her hands, and Nera's soul was filled with the power of light and emotion. In a daze, Nera seemed to feel her own heartbeat!
Although the soul has a mind, it does not have a heart. But now, a force is surging within me, making me feel alive again!
"Radiant Soul, you can now clearly perceive everything in this world! To ghosts, you are now special as well."

"Now, let's reunite you with your companions."

Under the curious gaze of the undead girl, Lightmoth quickly connected with Nera's emotions and learned the "detailed image" of the Cassie. Her carving knife flew rapidly, and about ten minutes later, two special small statues were completed.

Casey the Undead Girl, and Tapu Finch.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?" Wanlong blinked, feeling that the shark-shaped Pokémon seemed to possess some kind of inexplicable power.

“Tapifix, the guardian of the islands in the distant Alola region, its mist allows the dead and the living to meet again. I used special stone to carve its image, and then carved the image of the person I wanted to meet, using the Spirit Cloth as a medium. This allows me to actively trigger the mist, enabling the dead and the living to reunite.”

"If Casey is still alive, it will surely appear in the mist."

As mist rose in the room, and under the expectant gazes of the people, almost instantly, a yellow Pokémon appeared there as if it had teleported.

However, this Pokémon is no longer Abra.

Before them appeared a Kadabra, a psychic Pokémon resembling a yellow fox, staring blankly at the ghostly girl before it. The girl's clear eyes and joyful expression were unmistakable, meaning that the girl's spirit had awakened, freed from the nightmare and seemingly resurrected.
How could this be! Yunjira thought he was under some kind of illusion, but when Nera's familiar voice rang out, the wary Yunjira froze.

Yes, it's her! It's Nera! Her own trainer who is already dead!

How could she be resurrected? How could she appear before my eyes? Is this really not an illusion?

“Casey. No, you’ve evolved!”

Nera stared incredulously at the Pokémon before her, and tried to reach out and touch it. This time, her soul didn't pass through Kadabra's body, but touched it directly!
"In the mists of Kapu, the living and the dead can come into contact with each other."

Guangtai explained to Nara, and the girl was stunned for a while before blushing.

This wasn't shyness, but joy. Tears began to stream down her face. Seeing her loved ones again after so many years and being able to touch them once more brought out all the joy, happiness, and the loneliness, pain, sorrow, and repression she had endured all those years.

"I'm so happy!" Nera sobbed, hugging Yundira tightly. The yellow fox, confirming that Nera could indeed touch it, couldn't understand what had happened despite its high intelligence.
This is a good thing, isn't it!

Yungira gently patted Nera's back.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Nera
This is what should be said at this time.

I am back.
