Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 356 Don't Ask the Warrior of Light Such Dark Questions
Rumble.
The raging spring storm surged into the sky, while the combined storm used by the three cloud gods was even more powerful.

Leaf storm, thunderstorm, hot sandstorm!

The four storms collided and fought, and the enormous winds they generated instantly swept across the entire Ripple Bay area.

However, due to the presence and investigation of the plasma cluster on nearby islands, the number of swimmers has decreased significantly, so even with this large-scale change in the weather, it has not affected too many "tourists".

However, the underwater ruins emerged from the sea, and although they did not rise, the huge pillar of light leading to the sky could still be seen.

Many people gathered on the shore of Ripple Town, watching in shock as the terrible weather surged up from the sea.

Although the beams of light could be seen at first, the sudden onslaught of wind, rain, and even sandstorms, along with the rolling dark clouds, torrential rain, and raging waves, obscured most of the view.

Using the Mirror of Revealing to control the Four Gods, they can manipulate endless celestial storms, control the changing seasons, and even achieve a "frozen Unova" like Kyurem. This is the true power of the Cloud Gods.

If they were separated, they might not be considered powerful; they could be said to be rampant among legendary Pokémon, but far from being terrifying.

However, once the four gods are transformed into spirit beasts and abandon their incarnations, they can unleash their true power under the control of the underwater ruins.

"Only power of this level can interest me in fighting."

The young lady blinked, her eyes gradually filling with excitement and joy.

The false kings are not weak; they are only weak in front of me. Although they are numerous, they are still not enough to deter me.

So, it's time to face an even stronger opponent!
"The exciting moment is about to begin, four against three!"

Caitlia opened the third Poké Ball, and unexpectedly, it was not a Psychic-type Pokémon.

It's a bewitching eye.

"Hehe. This kid's tactics are very suitable for the current situation."

"Manager, could we use that one more time?"

Cattleya blinked, her blue eyes reflecting a wondrous light, and she gently raised her hand:

"gravity."

When entering gravity mode, cancel the Fly and Telekinesis abilities of all Pokémon!
Pokémon with Flying type, Levitate ability, Electro Levitate status, and those holding a Balloon can be affected by Ground type moves, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, and Sand Tunnel ability.

All Pokémon have moved to the ground!
[Tornado cloud, tailwind! Thundercloud, provocation!]

Ancient Crown naturally used the skill to block the change of moves, but Gadria just chuckled.

as predicted.

The provocations used by Thundercloud were ineffective.

"Goooo!"

The lightning cloud suddenly opened its eyes wide in anger, and in its dragon form, it turned its head to glance at the ancient crown.

Although I don't know why the provocation failed just now, there's no doubt that it was your fault as the commander!

The ancient crown was speechless.

Trying to shift the blame, huh?

But why does it feel like it really is my problem?

[The provocation failed. Why?]

Cattleya snapped her fingers: "It's Heart Herb."

When the Pokémon carrying it is unable to use a move freely, it will only recover once.

"You have more to worry about than just gravity."

"Soul-Stealing Eyes, use hypnosis."

Gravity hypnosis was a tactical suggestion that Cattleya had once received from Lightmoss.

Once hit, they'd basically be asleep until they died. The ancient crown hurriedly ordered the three cloud gods to scatter, but the warriors of light, shining with brilliance, weren't so easily let go!

Deoxys greeted the land cloud.

The last time we met, we were partners, but this time we're on opposite sides!

Thank you for teaching me about meteor beams, so...
The voices of Lightmoss and Deochis resounded simultaneously in the mind of Earth Cloud.

"Land Cloud, please take a nap first!"

"Dark hole!"

Deoxys pressed his hands down, and an invisible dark vacuum suddenly shot out, appearing before the Three Cloud Gods!
Under the pressure of gravity, the height of the Three Cloud Gods was continuously reduced!
Of course, under gravity, superpowered individuals cannot fly using their superpowers. At the same time, except for one-hit kill moves, the hit rate of all moves will be greatly increased!
The land cloud was startled!
What kind of move is this? Wait, this move looks familiar!

Is that Darkrai's special move?
Because the three gods regularly cross the sea to reach the land of Sinnoh, and Darkrai of Sinnoh lives on an island near Canal City, you can occasionally encounter that guy when crossing the sea.

Darkrai seems to exist in Unova as well, but Landcloud has never seen them. It only senses some nightmarish fluctuations near the Shrine of Abundance, but nothing too significant.

So I never looked for it.

Besides, why would someone go looking for Darkrai out of sheer boredom? That would be shameless.

"La Dong?!"

Is your dark hole legal?
Just because someone comes from outer space doesn't mean they can do whatever they want!
Deoxys's answer was also very direct!
Don't ask the Warrior of Light such dark questions!

Don't be nervous!

The ancient crown emitted a wave of energy, and the hypnosis combined with the dark hole, enhanced by gravity, almost completely hit the Three Cloud Gods!
The three cloud gods, in their transformed forms, have fallen into a state of sleep. Although they will wake up soon with their strength, they will suffer irreparable damage if there is even the slightest opening.

However, ancient crowns were not without defenses.

It began to glow, along with the mirror, and the moss sensed that the ancient bracelet was also glowing.

"Could this be learning techniques before battle?!"

It's not surprising that ancient crowns could possess such power, since they themselves have done this kind of thing!
With the power of the crown amplified, the Three Cloud Gods suddenly roared!
[Snoring and sleep talking!]

These are two moves that can only be used while asleep. Snoring is an attack that produces noise while the user is sleeping. There is a 30% chance it will make the opponent flinch!
Sleep talking is the act of using any one of the moves you have learned while asleep!
Landcloud used its snoring, and the ferocious roar shocked the entire area. Deoxys froze, controlled by the special power that made him shrink back, while Sableye was unaffected. However, the cowardly fellow saw two huge energies gathering in the sky!

The tornado's ramblings—a storm!
The ramblings of a thundercloud—Thunder!
Those were their signature skills, and with the boost from this raging celestial turbulence, their power increased to an unbelievable level. Fierce lightning and gales bombarded the underwater ruins and the surrounding sea, causing the place to tremble continuously!

They may not be able to fly due to gravity, but that doesn't stop them from continuing to manipulate celestial phenomena!

Rather, it's more accurate to say that thunder and storms, which originally had a low hit rate and could only be hit in "rainy weather," could be hit 100% of the time with the help of sleep talking and gravity!
Gadriya: "Miss Goth, use Dream Eater."

Attack by consuming the dream of your sleeping opponent. Restore half of the damage your opponent has taken to their HP.

Miss Gothic made a gesture with both hands, and her first attack was on the sleeping Landorus. Dream Eater has a power of up to 100, and it is even more extraordinary in the hands of the Elite Four's Pokémon!

The Earth Cloud let out a painful howl, and then woke up!

"A fondness for cloud weather globes!"

Three atmospheric bubbles emerged from the pink, turtle-like cloud of longing. Amplified by the raging storm, the weather ball transformed into a water-type object, taking advantage of the moment when the land cloud was awakened to bombard it!

call--

Deoxys changed its form in that instant, transforming from its normal form into its attack form!
Tu Diyun's expression hardened!
This is getting serious!

The Earth Cloud's four claws gleamed with powerful light, and its eyes held a resolute expression!

Sorry, my friend, I won this battle! No matter what moves you used, it was meaningless!
LandCloud uses 'Earth Fissure'!

Use "Earth Crack" on your own ruins?
At this moment, Guangmo truly admired the underwater crown. Did the king's soul have no objection to this?

However, the stone tablets of the Sea Ruins were incredibly sturdy. Even the Earth Shattering Technique used by the Earth Cloud could not actually "crack" the stone tablets. Instead, a powerful surge of ground energy seemed to tear the sea apart and rushed directly towards Deoxys! If it hit, it would be an instant kill!

Meanwhile, the tornado cloud and thundercloud are still asleep, continuing to talk in their sleep!

The ramblings of a thundercloud—a charging beam!
The Tornado's Dreamy Words - An Air Blade!
The three attacks came at Deoxys simultaneously.

"Soul-Stealing Eyes, let's switch places."

With a calm voice, as if she had foreseen this scene, in the instant the superpowers flashed, Sableye and Deoxys switched places!
Then, a wave of energy gathered around Sableye! The cowardly Sableye covered his head with his hands and squatted down on the spot, all three attacks hitting him at the same time!

However, a strange fluctuation protected it!

"Miss Goth, heal the fluctuations."

Healing Pulse restores half of the target's HP. The target can be any Pokémon on the field other than yourself.

[Great teamwork! They complement each other's weaknesses!]

The Ancient Crown realized something was wrong the moment it saw the field switch. Sure enough, Deoxys appeared in the original spot of Sableye, but the Warrior of Light had such high speed that it was only a moment!

Guangtai gave the order in his mind!

Now is the time, Warrior of Light, use the power you received from the Dragon God!
A chilling beam of ice emanated from the tip of Deoxys's tentacle, which was in an attack stance. It burst forth with precision and extreme close-range power!

Freezing beam!

The intimidation reduced its attack power, but it was no problem for Deoxys, who wielded dual swords and could freely change stances! The ice technique, learned from Kyurem and personally taught by the legendary dragon, struck the Landorus in one blow!
The Land Cloud, which is four times weaker than Ice, was instantly frozen into an ice block, trapped in a frozen state, and nearly killed in one hit!
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
After Deoxys unleashed a powerful beam attack, the blue crystal on his chest began to flicker, a sign that he was running out of energy. However, Dr. Juniper had prepared a lot of energy capsules for Deoxys!
With the use of the energy capsule, the crystal lamp on his chest began to shine again.

"Miss, thank you so much for just now."

Lightmoss gave Cattleya a thumbs up.

During their recent exchange of locations, the two had already completed their telepathic communication, and Gadriya's foresight had already accurately revealed the ancient crown's tactics.

"Hmph," Gadriya said with a faint smile, "Focus on the battle."

The defeat of Landorus brought Tornado and Thunderclouds to their senses. The two brothers were stunned when they saw Landorus frozen into an ice block, but then they were gloating.

The dead gay bastard who beats his brothers every day has finally met his end!
However, without the Earth Cloud, the control over this celestial phenomenon is greatly reduced!

【noisy!】

The ancient crown decreed that sleep-type moves should no longer be used here, so Thundurus in its dragon form roared and used "Roar," a sound-type move with a power of 90 that ignores the target's Substitute status.

Attacks a random opponent, dealing damage and putting the user into a 3-turn rage state. During this time, the user will continue to use rage to attack and will be unable to use other moves, items, switch Pokémon, or escape!

The thunderous roar of the lightning cloud shook the entire area as it roared wildly, while the tornado cloud took on the role of attack!

In its spirit beast form, the tornado cloud resembled a giant roc. To prevent repeating the same mistake, it first used its shadow clone!
Countless fragments filled the sky above the ruins, and the effects of gravity began to weaken, meaning they would soon be able to return to the high altitude!

However, the Prankster Dark-type Pokémon is immune to moves like Taunt, which means that once the opponent's gravity is removed, it will immediately reactivate. And Ancient Crown clearly foresaw this!

【trick!】

Scheme and plot, activate your mind. Greatly increase your special attack!

Tornado's Special Attack has increased dramatically!

"I foresaw that a storm would sweep us all away!"

A glint of icy blue light flashed in Cattleya's eyes: "Ambush!"

You can attack before your opponent. If your opponent's move is not an attack, you will fail!

The Soul-Hooking Eye unleashed a powerful attack from the void, slapping the head of the Tornado Cloud bird that was about to make its move, and accurately striking the "original" body behind the shadow clone!
In that brief moment of distraction, Deoxys had already rushed up to him!
A tremendous chill swelled in his chest, and he withstood the noisy attacks of the thunderclouds, delivering this "freezing beam" to the tornado cloud at point-blank range!

[Can it foresee the future? Unfortunately, the King's Heart also possesses the power to foresee the future.]

[Frozen Beam. I've already seen it!]

After witnessing Gadriya's "foresight," the ancient crown dared not be arrogant. The Sea King also possessed the power to read the future, although there were slight differences between this and foresight, the final result was similar.

Therefore, the tornado's body dissipated; it was merely a well-hidden substitute.

The violent winds still picked up, and the tornado cloud countered with a "deception" attack!
The evil energy, accompanied by a storm, completely engulfed the Warrior of Light, and the trick was also known as "switching flowers and grafting trees"!
Attack using the opponent's strength. The higher the opponent's attack power, the greater the damage!
[It's over! The psychic attribute was countered by the dark attribute, and the user was defeated by their own power.]

The excited shouts of the ancient crown abruptly ceased with the reappearance of Deoxys.

"From the very beginning until now, I have only used one Pokémon in battle, while the young lady has used two."

Have you forgotten your longing for the clouds?

Guangtai looked at the figure riding the wind in the storm. Although she had been hit by a deception, due to the elemental affinity, the blow did not hurt her at all!
The tornado was terrified.

The attack missed Deoxys and hit Cozy Cloud instead! However, Flying and Dark-type moves were only moderately effective against her!

The lingering cloud emitted a strange sound!
Enchanting Voice: Attacks the opponent with an angelic song. It will cause Pokémon with stat boosts this turn to become confused!
The tornado cloud had just used trickery to enhance its abilities, and at this moment, upon hearing the seductive music of the lingering cloud, it immediately fell into chaos!

In that instant, Deoxys assumed a defensive stance, but instead of taking the hit head-on, it used...
"Teleport!"

Deoxys remembered the Kadabra that Deoxys had used it in Mountain Town. However, Moss could sense that Deoxys's teleportation could only be used within a small area, and in battle, it was even more necessary to strictly adhere to the "Exchange Law".

It requires a backup Pokémon to be traded for to activate. If you teleport yourself, you don't know where you'll teleport to, although the range is quite narrow.

But in combat, this range is sufficient!

As contemporary Okishis becomes more proficient in this technique, he can teleport to distant areas and even develop the "telepathic search" ability shown in the special episode. However, this can be seen in every version, whether it's the anime, the game, or the manga.
The Deoxys are not very good at "teleportation"; they can only "learn" it, but mastering it seems quite difficult.

This also aligns with Ultraman's character design.

Teleportation consumes a lot of energy; a single teleport could put you in a dangerous situation.

For example, right now, the energy from the capsule that was just replenished is almost gone, and the blue indicator light is ringing again. However, at the same time, the light moss throws out a second capsule!
This capsule is no ordinary energy capsule; it's a triple-acceleration energy capsule!
It can be used at any time during battle. When the opponent uses a move to attack you, it boosts the Pokémon's energy, instantly tripling any one of its abilities!
Accelerated energy will inevitably be activated faster than the opponent's moves!

Even if the ancient crown could read the future, it was too late to take any further counterattack, and Deoxys transformed into light in that instant!

Deoxys was overflowing with cosmic power!

Gather the light, accumulate power, and then launch it out in one go!

Meteor beam!

A powerful beam of rock-elemental energy, imbued with the radiance of the universe, tore through the storm and struck the tornado cloud with full force. The large green bird flapped its wings, its entire body pierced by the rock-elemental energy flow!
The clamor of the thundercloud ceased at the same time, and it attempted to come to the rescue under the guidance of the ancient crown, but a powerful superpower simultaneously locked onto it.

"That's it for now."

Cattleya snapped her fingers gracefully.

Miss Goth revealed a strange smile, accompanied by a bright white light falling from the sky, and even the god who wielded lightning was precisely struck by a lightning-like attack!
Self-suggestion + predicting the future!

The lightning cloud crashed to the ground, but Cattleya's brows furrowed. She suddenly looked at the defeated three gods and said to Lightmoss:
Something's not right.

"The three gods have been defeated, but danger is foreseeable!"

The ancient crown's sentiment contained a sense of helplessness:

[Amazing! Theoretically speaking, you've already won.]

However, those unworthy descendants, the rightful heirs of the Sea King, have also arrived.

"Is it you, great ancestor? Is it you who is calling us?"

That strange, magnetic, and deceptively sweet voice rang out from the entrance on the fourth floor.
