Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 346 The Clear Sky Slab and the Legendary Sword
"this is for you."

Just as the moss was about to leave, the water pony suddenly came pattering over, carrying a strange object in its mouth. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be its broken horn.

"These are your horns, don't you want them anymore?"

If it were a creature like the three legendary Titans, it could be repaired by finding materials if it broke. But Keldeo is a normal living being. You can't just glue a broken horn back together. Even if you do make some extra repairs, its strength will be much less than before.

But don't worry.

"Once you realize this, the broken horn will be restored. However, this broken horn is also a memento."

"Or do you want me to forge an even stronger horn for you?"

Isn't this kind of thing common in animal protection efforts?

A wild bird had its beak broken during competition with its own kind, so humans fitted it with a titanium alloy beak, making it invincible.

“You could even forge a light blade.” Lightmoss pointed to the Iron Warrior next to her who was testing energy. The Iron Warrior looked at Keldeo and flashed his own blade.

Keldeo swallowed hard, imagining himself with a lightsaber above his head.

Uh... It's cool, really cool, but it doesn't fit into my training plan!
“This is unnecessary.” Keldeo’s eyes were firm. “You gave me even more important courage, and knowledge. I know what to do next. I will continue to work hard, and I will definitely master the Holy Sword! And the Mysterious Sword!”

"I have nothing to repay you with, but the things on a Pokémon are important materials. I haven't seen any other Pokémon of the same kind, so I think my horn should be quite valuable."

Little Ma blinked, then suddenly grinned mischievously: "This is a rare material, the only one of its kind! You absolutely can't miss it!"

Guangtai chuckled immediately: "Alright, then I'll accept it. Thank you."

[Rare Material: Keldeo's Horn.]

[Description: When Keldeo truly grasps the weight of the sword, this horn will transform into a sword capable of tearing everything apart. It can be used as a material for crafting many types of swords.]

[Can be crafted: the sword "Shun" that reflects all attacks / the Ancient Hero's Sword of Sinnoh / the Decaying Sword (the undecayed Hero's Sword) / the Holy Sword of Repentance / the Sword of Calamity.]

"This broken horn can indeed be made into an amazing prop."

“Right, right!” Keldeo laughed, looking very happy. “My horn is a precious thing.”

“But!” Keldeo took a deep breath: “Just this once, I won’t let it break again next time! Anyway, thank you!”

"I will continue my training here in Kyurem!"

Training in Giant's Cave? Although the Pokémon here aren't as battle-hardened as those in Training Rock and Victory Road, their levels are much higher!

Lightmoss pointed to the Solrock, and Keldeo also said with a serious expression, "That's right, I felt it too. The Pokémon that appeared this time are all very strong."

"Before I challenge the Kyurem again, I must first fight them!"

First, we must conquer the entire Giant's Cave! This is the next training plan for Water Pony!
"Well then, we're off." That was Reshiram's voice as it bid farewell to Kyurem. Kyurem didn't say anything about coming over sometime—it didn't want the place to be lively; it was really annoying.

After a brief glimpse into the future, Kyurem knew that the vicious Plasma Group wouldn't be so easily destroyed. They would have to go through a series of events, during which Zekrom would also be revived, and even Kyurem himself would be deeply involved.

Damn it, I don't really like either villainous organizations or heroes, so I might as well ignore this prophecy.

Perhaps I really need to find a way to stay somewhere else, but considering the incredible goals of those humans, they might relentlessly search for me.

With so many dragons in Unova, why insist on searching only for ourselves? Is it because we've suffered from a cultural disadvantage? Why can't we look for other creatures from other dimensions?

Or perhaps, to prevent that unfortunate future of being turned into an "energy battery," I should do something.
How about we go find that hero beforehand?
Kyurem's inner thoughts were overheard by Lightmoss, who immediately began to secretly criticize him.

The Unova starter Pokémon are sending out an ice dragon, right? And what's with the Demon King blocking the starting village and even telling the hero to "let me be your teammate"?
So, does that mean this timeline might be the same as Master Bao's, where Dou also gained Kyurem's approval?

"Let's go, to the Ice Ruins!"

Lightmoss retrieved its companions, and Deoxys also bid farewell to Kyurem.

The conversation went well, and a strong friendship has been established. Deoxys learned a lot of useful knowledge and even picked up a new move – the Ice Beam!
"It seems a bit strange that a cosmic superhuman like you has learned ice-based techniques. Although you already knew Ice Fist before..."

Ultraman is most afraid of the cold, yet you're doing the opposite!

Reshiram let out a long roar, his turbine engine started, and he flew out of the giant's cave amidst raging flames!
Leaving the deep, dark underground, instead of heading to Ripple Town, they flew towards the Path of Champions.

At this time, the Path of Victory was not yet on Route 23. Route 23 was known as the last natural wonder of Unova, with extremely complex terrain, including mountains, hills, waterfalls, highlands, valleys, and rivers.
A search from high in the sky quickly led to the discovery of the dilapidated ruins located on the high ground.

The Ruins of Ice, the Ruins of Will—this place is indeed related to Kyurem. In the game's progression, it's part of the new Victory Road, where you can find items like Dark Stones, Star Shards, Dragon Scales, and Dragon Fangs. However, the only wild dragon Pokémon here is Altaria, which obviously doesn't have Dragon Fangs.

Reshiram growled as he entered the Ice Ruins.

"It has the same energy as those 'stone slabs,' right here beneath the water's surface."

underwater.

There are no diving spots in the game, but there is one special location that you can only reach by "surfing".

The Water-type Pokémon, Glossymoss, released a wave of water. After explaining the requirements to Hush, the Pokémon seemed a little confused.

Well, diving is fine if it's not too deep, but you can't dive into very deep water!

"Can't you 'dive'?"

The moss was somewhat surprised.

Diving techniques refer to the ability to dive into the deep sea, but the rippling water indicates that it only operates in rivers and on the coast.

Of course, the water here isn't very deep.

Lightmoss started thinking. If you can't dive, you can't enter the underwater ruins... Maybe I should go to Ripple Town and see if they sell any move learning devices.

Bo Dang Shui plunged headfirst into the river, his eyes darting around as he surveyed his surroundings. Before long, he found the stone slab!
It wasn't that difficult! We didn't encounter any obstacles, except for those wild bass that were jumping around!
But what is the purpose of the rippling water?
Dragons living by the water, guess what my food comes from?
Splash! The little fish quickly emerged from the river, carrying a stone slab in its mouth and lifting up two bass with its tiny paws.

It's been a while since I've fished, but my hunting skills haven't gotten rusty! The main problem is that these bass are too fierce; they just ram right into my head without even looking!

"Well, that's just how Savage Bass is. Known as the little rascal of the lake, it's an extremely ferocious Pokémon."

As Guangtai spoke, she silently watched the two fish in Bodangshui's hand. Coincidentally, one was red-striped and the other blue-striped. These two striped species were extremely incompatible and would start fighting whenever they met. So even though Bodangshui was holding them, they were still slapping each other with their tails.

The two bass seemed to be fighting over something, and Guangtai casually picked it up and found it was a dragon's tooth.

"Oh, isn't this a Dragon Fang? It's an extremely rare item. You can't use it anyway, so give it to me!"

"Let them go, sweetie, we won't eat this."

Lightmoss patted Waves' big head, then took the stone slab from its mouth. Waves, still seemingly unwilling to give up, handed the fish to Reshiram, to which the white dragon quickly waved its claws away.

"No, I don't need it, thank you for your kindness."

"I only need to absorb heat energy from the atmosphere; food is not a necessity for me."

"Awoo~" Bo Dang Shui looked at the two fish in its claws and felt quite sorry.

Alright, you're lucky today, I'll let you off the hook.

The two bass were furious!

quack, the chew stone we fought over for so long has just been taken away!
Do you think we're the kind of fish that give up easily?

"Hey, come and eat!"

Guangtai handed over two powerful energy cubes, and the two fish immediately fell silent after eating them.

You're really good at spotting fish!
Okay, let's find another "stone" to sharpen our teeth.

With a splash, the two bass jumped back into the river, but before leaving, they didn't forget to wrestle each other with their tails.

Guangtai was examining the palm-sized stone slab.

Mythical Craftsmanship: Clear Stone Slab!

Description: A Normal-type stone tablet. When used on a certain Pokémon, it gains Normal-type power.

Gained 1 points of professional knowledge.

『Acquire Unique Craftsmanship: 1』

『Obtained clue to the making of a mysterious craft: 1』

[Inscription: The power of three Pokémon has temporarily frozen time and space.]

"The other stone slabs are all in the underwater ruins. However, because they are from a previous era, the Clear Sky Stone Slab and Fairy Stone Slab are not in the underwater ruins. It seems that they did not disappear, but were dropped to other places."

"In short, I got it smoothly and even gained the knowledge of an assessor, but then again, I don't have a certificate."

"Should we go to the Hoenn region to take an exam?"

Guangtai muttered to itself, continuing to receive further information about the unique craftsmanship and mysterious artifacts.
[Wave-shaped product process (B+)]

[Description: A craft that allows you to infuse wave and waveguide energy into items, sometimes creating items with special general attributes.]

Through crafting, various items with common attributes and fluctuation-type properties can be obtained.

[Can be crafted: Ball of Happiness, Wave Ring, Insight Glasses, Wave Bow Series.]

[Nature and some Pokémon possess unique energy signatures—travel to Liberty Garden Island/Land's Land and obtain "V-Pulse" from Victini! The G-Device can record this energy signature!]

[Mysterious crafting clue: [Red Chain] - Useful location: Three lakes in the Sinnoh region / The Heart Hollow in Unova.]

Guangmo: "."

Long ago, Chi Ri asked himself if he could make red chains, and now he can tell him that he can.

However, theoretically, this thing doesn't need to be handmade, and the Galactic Team can use meteorites to create a knock-off, with no difference in effect from the original.

"If we don't use the fragments of the red chain to insult Dialga and Palkia, what's left is just to make [Origin Spheres], right?"

It's hard to say whether being insulted by the red chains or by the Origin Sphere is more unfortunate.

However, on the other hand, there's still one Azure Emperor on the Unova side that hasn't left yet. It might have a chance to go to other worlds in the future. Dialga is much more likely to cause trouble than Palkia, given those red chains.
"There is more than one way to make the Red Chain. The proper way is to obtain the Claw of Uxie, the Fang of Azelf, and the Wings of Memridor, and combine their power to create the Red Chain."

"The second method is to use a special machine to forcibly control the three lake gods, using their energy to generate special [red crystals], which can then be crafted."

"The third method uses meteorites with similar energy, forged using special techniques! The resulting red chains are far inferior to the first two types in terms of durability and strength, and can even be shattered by ordinary attacks, but the effect is not much different!"

"And coincidentally, Kyurem gave me a lot of meteorites!"
