Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 330 Super Tyranitar and Ironleaf
[T-993 - Iron Neck! Danger!]
The Iron Warrior assumed an attack stance, and what appeared before her were two repaired iron necks!

They flapped their mechanical wings, their three heads stretching and retracting as if communicating with each other, or perhaps they were just beginning to understand and were somewhat bewildered by the newfound intelligence. When they saw the Iron Warrior, they showed no hostility but rather curiosity.

This kind of expression would never appear on a mechanical creation.

"Goo-hoo—" the aluminum steel dragon roared at them, and the two iron-necked dragons immediately imitated it: "[Goo. Roar—]"

Then it happily stretched out its three heads.

It seems that it has taken the aluminum steel dragon as one of its own kind, and even recognized it as its elder brother!

[Incomprehensible]
Iron Warrior was quite surprised. His pixelated eyes flickered with "astonishment" as he looked at the aluminum steel dragon that was scavenging for food.

However, she soon realized that she shouldn't have experienced such a large emotional fluctuation as surprise.

This is also a kind of proof of spiritual attainment.

"Oh, you're awake? The modification was very successful; your repairs are complete."

Guangtai turned around and saw the Iron Warrior and Aluminum Steel Dragon coming in, and greeted them.

[My bodily functions have declined, but my stored internal energy has increased significantly. Why?]
The Iron Warrior asked bluntly, explaining that in her view, increased physical function was necessary to carry more energy, but she never expected that decreased physical function would result in more energy, which seemed to defy science.

"Well, we can only say that our technological methods are different, and the direction of our transformation is also different."

"However, the decline in functionality is only temporary. Once you obtain stronger materials, your functionality will be improved. The secondary modification is simple; I have now learned your manufacturing techniques."

[I can't understand! You say you've learned the technology to manufacture us?]
Iron Warrior's emotions fluctuated because she felt that Lightmoss, this human, was saying some strange things.

However, I've already been labeled as a defective product and almost disposed of. Although I'm a little confused, there's no need to delve into it.

[Now, what do you need me to do?]
Iron Warrior posed a question.

After being "destroyed," she could no longer receive new commands, and after gaining a mind, commands were actually irrelevant.

However, as a robot, obeying commands is an innate, pre-programmed skill. Without orders, she doesn't know what to do. For the current Iron Warrior, there's nothing she wants to do.

The vigilance shown by those with "iron necks" is merely a warning signal from the survival instinct.

"If you were asked to attack your original master, would you be willing to do it?"

[The hierarchical relationship of the command has been dissolved; I am now defined as a consumable item and have no one to obey.]
It was difficult to discern any expression on the Iron Warrior's face, and his tone of voice showed little emotional fluctuation.

But after careful consideration, her pixelated eyes began to fluctuate and calculate, and then she added her answer:
[However, in terms of permission priority, I am currently unclaimed. Theoretically, it's possible for me to provide services if needed.]
Guangtai asked curiously, "Were you created by a mad scientist? Even if he wants to destroy you, you don't hate him?"

The Iron Warrior thought for a moment:
[I am a machine creation; machines are subject to damage and destruction, and will be destroyed if they have no value. I am only calling for your help out of a strange survival instinct.]
[No, I don't hate it. I just don't understand. I just started thinking about it and had some feelings. Does that mean I have to be destroyed as a defective product?]
[I haven't disobeyed top orders, so I'm confused.]
[I can feel the presence of my soul right now. Is it here, or here?]
The Iron Warrior touched the hollow bulge in her chest, then touched her green iron hair. Her expression showed curiosity and confusion, and her emotions were varied.

However, it's not very strong yet.

Then, the Iron Warrior asked the same question again:
[But what is the mind? Is it a real entity, or does it not exist?]
"The mind is an aggregate of emotions, knowledge, and will, and also a boundless space; this is how we understand it."

"Because of emotions, people know the pain of sadness and the preciousness of happiness."

"Because of knowledge, humankind has the wisdom to make life richer and more colorful."

"Because of willpower, people gain the willpower to make them determined to do things well, and develop the courage to face any difficulty."

"The human mind was given by three legendary Pokémon."

"The strength of superpowers is a manifestation of the mind. You were created as the strongest psychic Pokémon, yet you don't know what the mind is?"

"To put it in a way that you can better understand, it is a combination of cognition and perception."

"Higher cognitive functions such as consciousness, imagination, thinking, and judgment are the foundation for human beings to understand the world and form attitudes and actions."

[Emotions, knowledge, will, cognition and perception, thinking and judgment, imagination.?]
[Recorded.]
[How did you learn that the Superpower Project is a laboratory secret?]
"I can foresee the future. Just a little bit."

[Foreseeing future scenarios? Precognition is used as an offensive capability.]
That's just how you use it.

"Then let me ask you, why are you willing to follow my instructions?"

Guangtai raised a question, wanting to understand the current changes in the Iron Warrior's mindset.

Compared to other Iron Necks, the Iron Warriors, which can engage in electronic voice dialogue, are clearly more intelligent, while the others can only be described as pets or weapons.

Iron Warrior recorded the conversation in her database. Faced with Lightmoy's question, after a moment's thought, and combining it with her previous answer, she offered a completely new judgment and response:
[Because of your help, I've developed strange feelings.]
[Because I was destroyed, feelings of incomprehension grew within me.]
[Therefore, I wanted to know what the mind is.]
[Furthermore, the original instructions have been discarded, and without new instructions, I don't know what to do; this stems from a "survival instinct." I awakened to this during the previous battle.]
[My "heart" tells me I don't want to be destroyed, though my "system" doesn't quite understand.]
The Iron Warrior's answer was quite simple.

She was grateful and sought a new leader, a decision based on her survival instincts and mechanical awareness.

After the mind is awakened, there is some conflict between its thoughts and the system's judgment, but it seems that this conflict can coexist, or rather, the mind has a higher priority than the system.

"A fairly logical answer, but it works this way too."

Guangtai extended her hand to the Iron Warrior: "Then, please take care of me from now on!"

The Iron Warrior blinked his pixelated eyes and suspiciously placed his hand over.

What does it mean when hands are clasped together?
"It is a way to express friendliness and convey feelings."

Iron Warrior didn't quite understand the act of shaking hands, mainly because everyone here was a robot and no one else would shake hands with her. So after thinking for a moment, she gave Lightmoss a knight's salute.

This was her understanding of the formal way to express friendliness, a kind of genetic information flowing within her body, from the Pokémon named Gallade.

However, just as they shook hands, the Iron Warrior felt a strange sensation again, as if the energy within his body was flowing faster.

She felt this was good, although she didn't understand why this reaction occurred, but the high-speed flow of energy was beneficial for better utilizing her strength.

With Aluminum Steel Dragon, Iron Warrior, Ladybug, and ten Iron Necks, plus two more slots for Dream Projection, the previously meager combat power suddenly swelled up!
"I want to ask why the Poké Ball can't be used?" Lightmoss asked Iron Warrior, showing her the Poké Ball: "It's a scientific tool from the past."

Iron Warrior held the Poké Ball. She sensed something inside the ball observing her. Hmm, upon scanning, it looked like a "sword".
[This is a mechanical city; all the facilities are designed to maximize our power.]
The Iron Warrior emitted a pleasant yet cold voice:
[Therefore, this place is filled with powerful electromagnetic forces. In this environment, our abilities are greatly enhanced. Machines that are not adapted to this special electromagnetic environment are usually unusable, and forcing their use will result in damage and malfunction.]
[The electromagnetic forces between tall buildings interact, making it impossible to escape this environment.]
"I see." Guangtai was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that her companions had really been "suspended" from the competition.

But even the Dream Ball is useless?
Well, considering that the Dream Ball is actually a Poké Ball that has been transformed, does that mean electromagnetic influence also applies to it?

So, does that mean the Strange Sphere is also affected?

Or is it not just electromagnetic force, but also the influence of spacetime fluctuations?

However, Rotom, the only one captured using the Strange Sphere, is still missing and is probably still inside the time machine.

In short, Flash Palkia is fully responsible. "Well, but I still have a special move."

The moss didn't want to stay here for too long.

The props that future technologies can create are quite extravagant.

A large portion of those items are from Pokémon science fiction movies!

The Full Metal Panzer set is equivalent to the movie "RoboCop," while Super Bangalore is actually the previous generation prototype of Iron Thorn and Aluminum Steel Dragon in the game, appearing as a "Mechagodzilla"-like character in the movie!
"Come and help me build machines. Even though you were created as a weapon, you should still know some technical knowledge. If you don't know, that's okay, I will teach you."

[Understand and implement immediately.]
The Iron Warrior gave a knightly salute to the Lightmoss, then stood still: [Please state the design project?]
"Super Tyranitar".

Although it shares the same name as Tyranitar, the evolved form of Maga, it is actually a different thing!

The task that Lightmoss wanted the Iron Warriors and Iron Necks to do was, of course, to transform this abandoned factory into a super-sized Super Bangiras. This was a special effects prop from the movie, but it could be realized immediately through future technology and the Greenskin craftsmanship he had mastered.

Speaking of which, don't the Rockets trio often create some ridiculously large robots? Although the power and quality of those robots are really nothing to brag about.

Time passed quickly, and countless steel pieces and parts were assembled and piled together in ways that were difficult to comprehend.

Even Lightmoss felt that the strange technology of the future was simply an upgraded version of Team Rocket's technology. It was more stable, more powerful, and more robust. It would not suffer serious damage from Pokémon's fierce attacks, and it was also quite easy to repair. These Iron Warriors and Iron Necks were the best examples.

In the previous battles, they were only knocked down and had some wounds, but they did not suffer any real damage. Although they are not Steel-type, they can actually be regarded as variant Steel-type Pokémon.

Lightmoss even discovered that creatures like the Iron Neck can repair their own wounds by consuming minerals and steel, while those like the Iron Warriors, which cannot "eat," require maintenance.

But the Iron Warriors' bodies are also more robust than those of the Iron Necks.

In fact, even mechanical creations seem to undergo a slight change in their survival mode in this world once they are recognized as "Pokémon".

For example, Magiana, a creation of mysterious science, has a body that is merely a shell; what truly matters is her soul. However, even that shell is exceptionally sturdy in battle, able to withstand numerous attacks without leaving any marks.

With the combined efforts of the Lightmoss and the Future Species, this large sci-fi robot appeared in the abandoned factory. It mimicked the output function of the Iron Neck and was further equipped with a large high-tech light cannon, giving the robot an attack power beyond the norm!
Lightmoy herself also created an "Iron Suit," which is the "Full Metal Panther Suit" from the Pokémon Hollywood science fiction movie!
Now he's upgraded to Iron Man, and can even pilot Mechagodzilla!
Iron Warrior blinked her pixelated eyes, looking at the steel behemoth before her. Warnings like "illogical" appeared in her system.

The design and development of such steel behemoths usually takes a considerable amount of time, but how long has it taken to build them?!

The help she and the Iron Necks provided was limited; the main construction process was handled by the humans in front of them. But... could this machine really be made by human hands?
The laboratory is no longer needed.

The workshop is no longer needed.

The fact that a large amount of materials could be used to build Iron Warriors at an extremely fast speed seemed amazing to the warriors.

This is something that even humans find quite incomprehensible!

"Alright! Activate, Super Tyranitar!"

Because it is a sci-fi behemoth from the movie, although it looks very similar to the Paradox species called "Iron Thorn", it is actually a completely different thing!

When the work was finished, the Iron Warrior suddenly looked at the ceiling of the abandoned factory!
Boom!

Something was vibrating outside, and with a blinding flash, the ceiling of the abandoned factory was shattered.

Click, click——

The familiar metallic stomping sound rang out, signifying that the creature that had arrived was yet another Paradoxical Pokémon from the future. And what appeared before Lightmoss and the other Pokémon was a Pokémon that looked remarkably like Virizion.

However, its entire body is highly mechanized and metallic, the green parts have become more intense, losing the original grass green that was close to nature, its red electronic eyes are full of ruthlessness, and it has a smooth and transparent body with a metallic texture.

The glowing parts on its forehead and neck began to deform, turning into a weapon resembling a super-powered longsword!

[Danger: Unknown weapon!]
The Iron Warrior brandished his light blade.

"Goo-hoo!" The aluminum steel dragon also quickly stuffed the steel bar into its mouth, chewing it while letting out a battle roar to boost morale!
"Ironleaf! An aberrant species born based on the legendary Pokémon Virizion!"

Biligion and he were familiar "people", so when the moss saw the iron-spotted leaf, it couldn't help but have a rather strange feeling.

A similar-looking but cold-blooded bionic creation. Although the description of the future Three Sword Saints states that "Iron Rock" is a Terrakion modified by an evil organization.
If the three future sword saints are all born in this way, then it's truly terrifying to think about.

Ironleaf coldly stared at the group of people and Pokémon in front of it. A psychic version of Shining Sword appeared on its forehead. Although the appearance had changed, the move was still "Holy Sword"!
"It's alright, one hit will defeat this guy!" Lightmoy grabbed Ladybug, who was hiding behind her: "Go! Now is your time to slay a god!"

Iron-spotted leaves are four times more susceptible to insects; even the small ladybug can inflict considerable damage!

"I battled a legendary Pokémon?" Ladybug pointed at herself in disbelief.

Lightmoss: "What are you afraid of? You have a Special Attack of 55! Go, use Bug Buzz!"

Seeing that the Iron-spotted Leaf had already slashed at him with the Holy Sword, the Ladybug was terrified and hurriedly flapped its wings!

What do you mean by 55 special attack? What strange things is this human saying?!
But I don't have time to think about these strange things right now!
The strange insect sound waves spread outwards, catching the iron-spotted leaf off guard in an instant!

"Iron Warrior, CT Scissors!"

At the same time, Guangmo gave an order to the Iron Warrior!
The Iron Warrior did not hesitate. Pink light shone on her blade. She knew why this legendary weapon had appeared here!
This is for capturing humans, or... incidentally, for destroying themselves once again!
Not wanting to be destroyed, their survival instincts called out.

Looking at the cold, emotionless Pokémon before him, Iron Warrior couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and empathy.

This surprised her quite a bit.

Is it something to be sad about to be devoid of emotions and a soul?

Or is it just some strange empathy that arises after one gains a mind?
What is the difference between steel mechanical creations and steel-type Pokémon?
The so-called "same kind" of aluminum steel dragon.

What humans call emotions, knowledge, and will
Perhaps, creating their own "master" was also to explore this question.

Cross Scissors. In an instant, the Iron Warrior retrieved the method for performing this move from his database!

The sharp cross-shaped light blade pierced through the body of the Iron-spotted Leaf, and the powerful attribute energy caused the legendary weapon, which was 4 times weak to insects, to collapse before it could even show its power!

One strike to the finish!
"It is twice as weak as Flying, Poison, Ghost, Fire, Ice, and Dark, and four times as weak as Bug. Because there are no Bug Pokémon in this era, its biggest weakness has been overlooked."

"But isn't this perfect? ​​This is fighting power delivered right to our doorstep!"

Lightmoss took out the Mind Crystal and, under the cold gaze of Ironleaf, reflected its light into its eyes.

Then, the moss began to modify the iron-spotted leaves, but in the process, it inevitably started to complain:
"Why do I look like the mad scientist?"
