Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 335 If I win, will you be happy?

He defeated his proud red-faced dragon with a single blow.
Shaka had almost never imagined this would happen; to date, almost no challenger has been able to do this!
Judging from the moves just now, that Pokémon is an extremely rare Fairy-type!
“The power of the moon... is a fairy attribute!” Shaka said in a deep voice.

As one of the first Fairy-type moves to be discovered, Moon Power is known for its high power by the professors. However, Shaka never expected that this strange Pokémon in front of him would actually use it!
Therefore, her attributes are undoubtedly confirmed!

"Fairy?! Aren't dragons only afraid of ice?" Alice had never heard of this attribute before. She looked at Du Ruo suspiciously, but Toothpaste Kid was also completely confused.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we be focusing on what that Pokémon is saying? Although I can't quite understand it." Du Ruo frowned, which surprised Guang Tai.

So that's how it is. In the future world, only you and AI scientists can understand Pokémon language. Therefore, although Paradoxes have a similar way of speaking, to others who cannot understand Paradoxes, it is just a language that is "very similar to human language".

As for why the other paradoxical species couldn't speak during the Zhu Zi era, perhaps it was because they didn't want to, or perhaps it was because those paradoxical species didn't have a complete language module?

After all, once they become Pokémon, modules, which are too electronic and mechanical and don't resemble normal living beings, should be optimized away by the laws of the world.

"It's not your fault. There are only two types of Pokémon with Fairy-type in the Unova region, and this was only recently confirmed. Perhaps because of the different regions they live in, the Pokémon in the Unova region hardly knows any Fairy-type moves in the wild."

Shaka was certainly aware that Cottonball and Whimsicott had been redefined as Fairy-type. Before this subtype appeared, these two Pokémon were generally considered to be pure Grass-type.

In fact, even Fairy-type moves are still under discussion and haven't been fully finalized. In the past, some Normal-type moves have been redefined as Fairy-type.

This "redefinition" seems to have altered some of the rules of the Pokémon world, leading to the discovery of more and more Fairy-type Pokémon.

"This is terrible," Du Ruo frowned. "The dragon attribute has gained another weakness. This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing."

"So, I originally thought the opponent was a Steel-type, but it turns out to be a Fairy. This has become a disadvantageous matchup."

Dragons are afraid of the cold and ice and snow, but there are exceptions.
It is said that in the remote Sinnoh region, powerful Pokémon such as Garchomp appear in some high-altitude, cold areas. Despite being four times weak to Ice, they spawn in snowy mountains. This may be related to the local climate, as the Pokémon in those areas have adapted to this environment, but they have not yet transformed into their regional forms.

A certain Pokémon overcame its fear of certain attributes. Similar stories seem to have appeared in regions such as Kanto and Johto.

"Wow, that's amazing! Even though I'm very afraid of the cold, and even though Fairies are super effective against Dragons, that Pokémon is really cool." Alice is very afraid of the cold, so she doesn't particularly like Ice-type Pokémon.

However, the fairy-like nature of the creature in front of her made her think for the first time that "even the enemy of dragons is beautiful".

Shaka immediately recalled his Red-faced Dragon, and with a fierce roar, his Twin Axe Dragon leaped into the battlefield!

Shaka's Haxorus exudes a powerful aura and is quite strong. It exists as Shaka's signature Pokémon. At the same time, although Shaka also has Hydreigon, perhaps to avoid the "overlapping of Pokémon held by Shaka" setting with Ghetto, that Hydreigon is only brought out during the World Championship.

Shaka's best tactic is using the dragon's tail!

Dragon Tail's base power isn't huge, but in Shaka's hands, it's enough to split mountains and shatter rocks. In addition, Dragon Tail has the function of "forced switching" to pull the attacked Pokémon back into its Poké Ball.

However, when facing Fairy-type enemies, the Dragon Tail tactic will be completely shut down!
"Dance of Dragons!"

The double-axe dragon performed a fierce dance, luring the iron warrior to attack, while simultaneously galloping rapidly across the field!

Shaka's Haxorus is incredibly fast!
While performing the dragon dance, he moved, increasing his speed and maximizing his offensive capabilities, searching for an opening. Just as the Iron Warrior was aiming at the Twin Axe Dragon, his body suddenly stiffened.

The Double-Haxorus used the "Terrifying Face" to significantly reduce the Iron Warrior's speed!

"You saw it! Haxorus's terrifying expression—any Pokémon that sees that expression will have its speed locked!"

Improving one's own speed while slowing down the enemy's, and maintaining a terrifying face requires years of training. Even when the Dragon Tail tactic is unavailable, Shaka has a solution!

You only get one chance.

The Iron Warrior's eyes suddenly flashed at this moment.

Fixation method.

As an invisible mental force surged forth, the terrifying face of the Twin Axe Dragon was immediately sealed, preventing it from further slowing down the Iron Warrior.

Although the Immobilization Technique is a superpower, it is a normal attribute move. However, it is classified as a "mental attack move" in the skill classification system. Along with it, there are also the famous "One More Time" and "Taunt".

"Iron Head".

Shaka's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

The time to strike has come.

The purpose of using Scary Face is that if the opponent has a blocking move, Scary Face can be used as a substitute for Dragon Dance.

As long as Long Wu is not sealed, there will be a battle to be fought.

Shaka calmly issued the order. As a master of dragons, he immediately knew how to deal with the Fairy attribute after learning about its existence. Although this attribute has few weaknesses, there are still things to fear!

Steel and Poison!
Unfortunately, there are currently no experts in steel and poison in the Unova region.

Although there are rumors that the distant city of Liyong plans to open a new dojo and is reportedly selecting someone with the ability to become a dojo master, the type of dojo master has not been determined, and the dojo opening is still only in the planning stage.

The Haxorus's forehead flashed with a cold light, and the icy iron light, accompanied by intense steel-elemental energy, crashed into the Iron Warrior at extremely high speed.

"Come on. Take the initiative to close the distance. What would you do?"

Shaka's gaze was fixed on the moss and the iron warrior.

As for whether he would be defeated by the power of the fairy attribute in one blow, he has already made a plan!

Although gym battles are three-on-three, both the gym leader and the challenger have a great deal of autonomy in choosing which Pokémon to send out, or whether to use a high-level or low-level Pokémon. This decision depends entirely on the challenger's strength and the badges they have collected.

It was precisely because Haxorus carried that "thing" that Shaka dared to let Haxorus appear.

It is well known that the weakness of the Dragon attribute is that before the appearance of Fairies, the only things that could suppress Dragons were other Dragons and Ice.

Fruits that resist ice or dragon are naturally the best choice for protecting your Pokémon. As long as you can protect your weaknesses, you will be fearless even when facing a type that is weak against you. Eating these fruits for a long time will also give you a certain resistance to the type that is weak against you.

However, as soon as the Fairy attribute appeared, a wise professor immediately found its corresponding "fruit"!
As a master of dragons, Shaka certainly knew about the "Lome Fruit" that appeared in the Carlos region!
Upon hearing Lightmoss's command, Iron Warrior raised her light blade, and a radiant moon formed in the sky above her head!
The moonlight gathered together, forming a bright sphere of energy overhead, from which it released dazzling rays of energy!
"The power of the moon! Just as I thought!"

But it's good that it came!

When a fairy faces a dragon, anyone familiar with elemental advantage would surely think that victory is already assured!
The explosion of moonlight struck the Double-Haxed Dragon, causing it to howl in pain. But the next moment, its gleaming steel head broke through the moonlight and slammed into the Iron Warrior with unstoppable force!

Luo Meiguo activates! Halves one instance of Fairy-type damage!

If you survive the first blow, then the battle is over!
A deep purple, viscous energy had somehow condensed on the hands of the Haxorus. The moment the Iron Head hit, a second, more effective attack arrived immediately!
Poison Strike! A must-learn move to counter Fairy-types. Possessing the power of poison, even Fairies with excellent resistance cannot stop it!
thump—

Boom!

A powerful superpower suddenly descended from the sky and struck the Haxorus accurately!
The latter's eyes widened, maintaining its attack stance, its body frozen in place by the immense force, as white lightning and fierce psychic power crashed down from the sky!

Shaka was taken aback: "What?! I see!"

The immobilization spell from before...! It was already used back then!

Light Moss: "Foreseeing the future".

Two turns after using the move, the opponent's Pokémon's location is put into a future attack state.

The Iron Warrior pressed the light blade against the Twin Axe Dragon, and a powerful fairy radiance exploded!
With a burst of white smoke, the Double-Haxed Dragon crashed to the ground, incapacitated. Shaka fell silent for a long while, then suddenly burst into laughter:
"You guessed it. The Haxorus was carrying a 'Lumiberry'?"

“Because I also have this kind of fruit, I can smell the aroma.” Guangtai rubbed his chin: “The Fanba Market just received a batch of imported goods.”

"I never expected to lose in the market," Xia Ka muttered to himself.

However, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a formidable challenger! This is the trainer I've been searching for, a trainer with an infinitely bright future!

[The second dragon has been defeated.]
There was a slight hint of emotion in the Iron Warrior's voice, probably the "joy" that came from defeating two in a row.

At this moment, she slightly turned her head, as if waiting for something, but she herself did not know what she was expecting.
"Come back, Iron Warrior."

[? ]
[objection!]
The Iron Warrior heard the voice he didn't want to hear, paused for a moment, and then protested.

[The battle isn't over yet. Calculations show that Fairy-type has a clear advantage against Dragon-type, so I shouldn't be replaced at this point.]
That's not what you should be saying.
Iron Warrior expressed his dissatisfaction, and Shaka, realizing that Iron Warrior didn't seem to intend to obey orders, asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Don't Pokémon obey your commands?"

"But your teamwork just now was excellent. You have the ability to control Pokémon without making a sound, right? I've heard of people like that! I've met people like that before!"

Guangtai smiled wryly: "My Pokémon have some strong personalities, um. Because they have doubts in their hearts, they don't obey commands. At this time, I will communicate with them appropriately."

"Mr. Shaka, could you wait a moment?"

Shaka stroked his beard: "...A Pokémon with a strong personality. Indeed, this one is quite different from the ones that have appeared before."

"Alright, it seems you have something on your mind. She could easily defeat me if she just kept fighting."

"So, you want to see a 'meteor shower'?"

Guangtai scratched his head: "I think learning is faster in battle."

Shaka nodded: "I see. Well then, I'll wait for you for a moment."

Thank you for your understanding.
The Iron Warrior glanced at the white-bearded Shaka and politely gave him a knightly salute in thanks, which surprised Shaka.

He'd lived for so many years and had seen many ways Pokémon express affection, but this was the first time he'd encountered a Pokémon that "bossed."

"Its entire body is like it's made of steel, like a creation of futuristic technology, a combination of Gardevoir and Gallade, possessing high intelligence, a strong personality, and politeness. Isn't this really a robot from the future?"

Shaka couldn't help but think about such outrageous things.

So, will Dr. Tim's time machine fail?
Did he really travel back to the past, or to the future?
Click, click. The Iron Warrior walked up to Lightmoy and bluntly explained what had just happened:
[Based on system calculations, continuing to use me greatly increases the probability of winning; replacing me with another of the same type carries the risk of failure.]
Guangtai didn't speak, but instead placed her hand on the Iron Warrior's head. As the latter was slightly stunned, Guangtai gently stroked her.

"No, you did a fantastic job, very cool. Well, you were absolutely dashing!"

"Absolutely radiant!"

"This is the reward you've been waiting for!"

Isn't this the feeling of something that can't be expressed yet feels strange and anticipated?

Because of her emotions and her ability to read, Hikari sensed the strange emotion welling up in the Iron Warrior's heart. And because she was human, she could understand it, so Hikari understood why the Iron Warrior was unwilling to go into battle.

She wanted to continue fighting and reap the greatest "reward," and it was this pursuit of that strange feeling that made her refuse the order to retreat.

Although the system's assessment suggests that continuing the fight is more advantageous, the system's priority has been weakened compared to the mind.

[The cooling system is operating, increasing energy output.]
[I love you much?]
[It's an extension of the emotion of "concern".]
"No, the correct term is praise and commendation, which is a heartfelt expression of affirmation for what one supports. Praise is a deeper, more sincere, and heartfelt appreciation and admiration."

"It usually includes a comprehensive recognition and high evaluation of the other party's qualities, abilities, achievements, etc."

Lightmoss used a term that Iron Warrior could understand, and the latter's pixelated eyes immediately lit up:

[It's a compliment!]
My soul yearns for this feeling.
[And praise me more.]
The Iron Warrior made a request.

But the moss guided her:

"Victory brings praise, but sometimes we also become the ones who praise others and our companions."

"After receiving praise, how about trying to praise your companion as well?"

Iron Warrior blinked. She was glad that Lightmoy could answer her questions about her emotions. Because they could communicate telepathically, there wouldn't be any major disagreements in their thoughts and judgments. She liked this feeling very much.

So, she nodded.

The praise I needed has been received; perhaps I should indeed praise my companion.

[If I praise my companion, what will this expression of emotion ultimately achieve?]
"It is a virtue."

[Will you be happy?]
"I will be happy."

[Then I will praise my companion.]
Iron Warrior clattered to the back of Lightmoss, but instead of entering the Poké Ball, he observed the battlefield from the side.

[Only by analyzing and retrieving information from the battles of our companions can we truly praise them.]
Boom!
Bodangshui and Aluminum Steel Dragon walked up to Lightmoss. Bodangshui was eager to go up and learn Meteor Shower for himself, while Aluminum Steel Dragon looked completely bewildered.

"It's about learning meteor showers, why do you look so unhappy?"

Seeing the listless Aluminum Steel Dragon, Lightmoy casually took out a Steel Gem and gave it to it, which finally cheered the Aluminum Steel Dragon up!
Although I really dislike studying and only like eating, I can learn very quickly when it comes to food!

This left Bo Dang Shui, who was also part of the gluttonous group, speechless.

Not brothers!

You idiot! Besides, wasn't that the gem I touched?!

"Hiss!" Waves of water suddenly realized that the Aluminosilicate Dragon might enjoy eating even more than itself, while it only needed to eat peaches, but the Aluminosilicate Dragon wanted to eat gems. Even in the dream world, gems weren't so easy to find.
"Ouch?"

What's inside that metal shell of yours?! Are they all gemstones?
"Gurgle~" the aluminum-steel dragon responded with a splash of water.

Gems are fine, scrap metal and garbage are okay too, I can accept any taste, even sewer pipes are authentic, I'm not picky!
"Hmm, it seems like you've started chatting, but have you reached an agreement?" Shaka asked from the other end, while also preparing a Poké Ball.

"So, my last Pokémon is this one!"

With the opposing team ceasing to use fairies, this presented Shaka with the perfect opportunity to unleash his full power, so the last fairy he summoned was...
Three-headed dragon!

boom!
A Poké Ball on Lightmoss's waist opened automatically, and the blue-haired puppy tensed up, jumping out the moment it saw Hydreigon.

The battle with the three-headed dragon?

"Hoo hoo." Riolu entered a meditative state, concentrating intently on the Hydreigon opposite him.

It wanted to see how the turbulent waters would face this three-headed dragon, which was also the final "enemy" it would have to confront!
At this moment, the blue-haired puppy recalled a not-so-distant memory: he had imagined Shaka's Hydreigon as Ghettoss's Hydreigon. The scene of being knocked to the ground by a "Dark Pulse" was still vivid in his mind.

I'm a Fighting-type Pokémon! To be defeated by a Dark-type Pokémon is an utter disgrace; that Hydreigon's strength was beyond imagination.
If you want to get revenge
"Ouch~!"

The rippling water growled at Riolu.

Dog, I can feel your conviction, I can feel your domineering spirit, and now my power is increasing wildly!
Alright! Let me, as your senior, demonstrate how to defeat the dragon before you! Watch closely, this battle is going to be awesome!
