Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 375 Celebi, An Encounter Across Time

"This is also a companion, just not yet born."

"There is no way to forge her body yet."

Because we haven't obtained any information about mystical science, we can't do anything to the Soul Heart. Mystical science and future technology are completely opposite paths. If we were to try to modify it, it would probably create a "Mageana Paradox".

But since Magiana originally had a body of steel, would its Paradoxical Species become flesh and blood? If so, it's probably not a good idea to broadcast it.

If an artificial girl is created who looks more like a real person than a mecha warrior, it's like fast-forwarding into the timeline of some kind of mecha girl romance anime, which is a bit off-track, isn't it?
Lightmoss handed the Soul Heart to Genesect: "In the void of the heart, even the broken ancient souls will find solace and undergo transformation. This is the power that created the world. Although you may not understand, just hold her."

As Genesect held that soul heart, even though it was also a creation of steel, Genesect could feel a vigorous, almost tangible, vitality.

Having become a cold, iron body, it seemed to heat up again. This heat was different from using fire techniques; it came from a change deep within its heart.

What is this thing that is so fascinating?
"Hello, big bug. You're a bug-type magical beast, right?"

"There is incredible power here. Ah~ I'm awake. Although I was awake before, I couldn't make a sound."

"I'm so lonely."

"Ah, thank you! Human, are you a king? Are you going to use me again? Can you chat with me?"

She seemed to have woken up, speaking these words to Genesect, but it also sounded like a hallucination. Genesect looked around suspiciously, even glancing at the light moss.

Guangtai nodded: "That's right, she made a sound."

At the same time, he said to Magia:
"Times have changed, Magiana. First of all, congratulations on regaining your senses, but this state may not last long. Your soul is still broken and requires the right method to repair it."

Thus, she attempted to unite the power of her mind with her soul, and a surprised voice arose from within Magiana's soul:

"Your warmth and strength are so comforting."

"I think I can hear a lot of sounds, and I can feel the outside environment. Wow, that really startled me! This is the first time I've ever felt like this!"

Click, click. The silver-white paladin, Iron Warrior, appeared beside Lightmoss and Genesect.

As a tech Pokémon that has also been "modified," Ironhide is intensely curious about Genesect, its new companion who has no Quirk.

Of course, now she was even more curious, so after sensing the power of the Void of the Heart, she ran out on her own.

Unlike himself, the soul in Soul Heart seemed to be born with emotions. Iron Warrior curiously approached her and subsequently established a vague spiritual connection.

"Huh? Who is it?"

"Are you, like me, a purely man-made product?"

"How amazing! You are unlike any other life I've ever encountered before! Sister, sister, who are you?"

The soul within that soul became active, and the Iron Warrior tilted his head.

[I am T-1006-01, Iron Warrior.]
[Sister, an unknown word?]
"Sister means sister, because you and I are the same, aren't we?"

We are similar in a broad sense, but different in a narrow sense.
"Then we're the same! How wonderful! What's it like to have a body? Were you also offered as tribute to the king?"

"So, that human brother over there is the king, and you are the eldest princess, and I am the second daughter, right? If I had a body, I could fulfill our past promise and play with you."

[Objection: I will fight for my master, but I don't need to play. I shouldn't. I'm not a tribute either, so I don't understand.]
"Huh? But, in my original plan, I was supposed to play with princesses. Even though I wasn't born, my soul exists. Don't you like me?"

"As my younger sister, do you...do you hate me? Even though I don't have a body."

"Will you abandon me? Because I'm useless."

Because Magiana hadn't woken up for so long, she kept rambling on and on, while the Iron Warrior listened quietly without getting annoyed, recording all of it into his database.

No, I love you.
"Eh?!"

The overly direct and ambiguous attack made Soul's soul feel extremely embarrassed, and even Lightmoss laughed: "Even a Pokémon would feel embarrassed saying something like that."

[Because I care about her, that's why I love her.] The Iron Warrior's pixelated eyes blinked.

Guangtai corrected: "Actually, at this time, you should praise her for being cute, and then comfort her."

"Just like young girls, they all like to be praised like that, like Miss Mary, Miss Homiga."

"However, your direct confession was very effective, and of course, you are also very cute."

[I understand, you're cute, I'm cute, sample recorded.]
However, my concern for her is different from my concern for you, and for other women of the same kind.
"So, this is what liking or pampering means."

Under the guidance of the light moss, the mechanical girl from the future who doesn't understand love, the modified monster from the modern era who has no companions, and the lonely mechanical soul from the past who only has a heart of steel left behind, began to talk.

At the same time, the Pokémon that throws the ball is not only Ironhide.

Riolu, the blue-haired puppy, seemed to sense something. It stared seriously at the graphic puddle on the ground, then expressed its desire to the moss.

It felt there was an incredible power here, and that if it could meditate, it might help improve its "mind's eye".

"Because of the waveguide, you can sense this place too?" Lightmoss reached out, and the ripples of time gradually dissipated, which surprised Riolu.

what is this?
When did you get a waveguide?
However, this waveguide feels different from ordinary waveguides. No, this is not a waveguide!

The blue-haired puppy crossed its arms over its chest, looking quite surprised.

Lightmoss: "Yes, this is not a waveguide, but a ripple of power."

"I have a vague feeling that I will obtain the true Time Waveguide soon. Now that I've heard what you've said, I think it might be in this void of the heart."

"However, even if I obtain the Time Aura, I probably won't be able to conjure up Aura Spheres like a normal Aura user."

Even waveguides come in many varieties; everything has waveguides, even inanimate objects.

In the special episode, Ya Xuan mentioned this aspect, saying that even the surveillance machines created by Team Galactic have special waveguides. By following these waveguides, one can find the person who made them and lock onto their malice.

In the world of the expedition team, there exist new auras called "Heart Wave" and "V Wave." The former allows the team members to unleash a powerful combined attack when their Heart Waves converge, while the latter can enhance various powers and is a wave related to Victini.

"If I go to Free Garden Island again in the future, I might be able to feel the V fluctuations. But do those fluctuations even exist in this world?"

With these doubts in mind, Lightmoss prepared to forge the chains, but at that moment, strange ripples appeared in the Void of the Heart.

"Compare!"

A familiar voice traversed the vast expanse of time and space, appearing abruptly in the void, yet it seemed to have been calling for a long time. Guangtai was taken aback, then looked in the direction from which the voice of time originated.

Ripples of time spread, and with a burst of light, the long-unseen Celebi appeared before him!
"Ah, long time no see, Celebi. How was your time travel? Was it fun?"

Guangtai immediately recognized the aura and feeling emanating from this Celebi.

That's right, it's the one I met at the ruins of the capital.

"Compare, compare!"

Celebi flapped its wings and flew around the light moss with a hint of anxiety. Then, as if it had thought of something, it made a flute-playing motion.

Through the spiritual exchange, Guangtai understood what the shrine meant at that moment.

"You want me to make the 'Ocarina of Time' right now?"

"Yes, there's a place where we'll need the Ocarina of Time."

The Ocarina of Time is a special time-related item used in Pokémon Arena.

It is described as an incredible flute that can summon rabbis.

Theoretically speaking, apart from the events in the Orei region, there is nothing else that requires the use of this flute, and even if the Orei region still exists, the events in its amphitheater should have ended by now.

Hmm. Really not?
Through the spiritual communication with the shrine, Lightmoth witnessed a scene.

The monsters of the forest wreaked havoc, a burly man wearing a strange helmet laughed loudly, young Oak Yukinari and Ash appeared on Suicune's back, and finally Celebi's power was exhausted, almost dying.

"Ah, so that's it."

"Shrab, an encounter that transcends time and space."

This is a classic theatrical film involving time paradoxes, where Ash meets a young Professor Oak and they form an unbreakable friendship.

The main villain is Bishaus, one of Team Rocket's top executives. However, after taking control of Celebi, he plotted to break away from Team Rocket and conquer the world. Suicune also appears in the movie.

"Are you going to take the Ocarina of Time to gather your companions and then call the other Celebi to the forest? Well, then, wait a moment."

"Won't waste too much of your time."

Although the Lightmoss has made such a statement, since Celebi can travel through time, it doesn't matter if too much time is wasted.

However, it still watched with curiosity as the sphagnum began to work, and similarly, it also curiously observed the other Pokémon. Among them, Entei caught its attention.

Celebi flew to Yan Di's side and recognized that the Yan Di in front of it was "fake"!
It's the Flame Emperor of the Crystal Tower who disappeared not long ago on the timeline!

"Compare?"

How did you revive? How did you end up here?

Silavi found it unbelievable, while Yan Di observed the little guy in front of him with great interest.

"Guardian of the forest, phantom spirit that travels through time. By the way," Emperor Yan suddenly said to Lightmoss, "didn't the humans of Unova send you to participate in the martial arts tournament? The prize for winning was the herbs that Celebi brought back?"

"If you know a rabbi, why don't you ask him for it?"

"Bet!" However, upon hearing Yan Di's "cheating remarks," Celebi paused for a moment before immediately puffing out its little chest and making an "X" shape with its hands!
It understood what the fake Yan Emperor was saying!

Is it a legendary herb? But it's not something you can just give away!
That is something that can only be obtained by going through ten trials; it is a rule set by the "Divine Lord"!

Emperor Yan: "Can't you even make an exception? If I were the villain, I would definitely use the Ocarina of Time to blackmail you."

"Bi" thought that the fake Yan Emperor in front of him had a strange personality.

He was very gentle when he was with that little girl, but why did he become so mean once he was away from her?

Celebi then went to check out the other Pokémon. She looked at Tesmus and was amazed by its future power, and then at Genesect and was amazed by its modern power.

Upon seeing the burning insect, it expressed its bewilderment, noting that the egg, which was clearly dead, had somehow come back to life.

Seeing the Riolu, I was even more confused, because this Riolu should have returned to the wild, right?
Wow, the timeline has changed so much!

However, this is also what makes the concept of multiple timelines interesting! After all, ghats themselves can change what happens in time.

Ah, right!

Celebi thought of the ruins of the capital. Although it had sent a lot of fruit to the shrine there for a period of time, it seemed that Lightmoss had not received any after it left!

Well, chronologically speaking, I haven't been gone for very long!
Oh, right, since you're bringing a gift...
Celebi reached out, and a ripple of time was opened. It rummaged around inside for a while and then pulled out a yellowed old scroll with a snap.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Divine-miraculous-Tao-tool!
"Compare!"

This would definitely make a great gift!

Meanwhile, the moss has also finished its work.

The creation of the Flute of Time is not difficult, just like the Flute of Divine Harmony; what is lacking is only the materials and the power.

With the Stone of Gratitude, the Ripple of Time, and the Jade of Release, the Flute of Time is now complete.

[A mythical artifact: The Flute of Time.]

[Description: This flute can summon a large number of Celebi to purify dark Pokémon.]

[Effect: Eliminates dark energy, summons Celebi in the shrine of the Sacred Forest, and purifies one dark Pokémon regardless of its Psychic Strike rating. In the Time Realm, when used on Celebi, it can quickly summon allies and use Celebi's power to perform "Time Recovery."]

"The Ocarina of Time is finished. Hmm, what's this?"

Lightmoss walked over, looked at Celebi with a "praise me" expression, and took the yellowed old scroll with some doubt.

[Secret Item: Special Ball Crafting Notes.]

[Description: The top-secret manual of Mr. Steel from another world, containing the secrets to making various special Poké Balls, especially the last part—"The Poké Ball Beyond Time: GS Ball!"]

[Effect: By learning the techniques in the notes, you can create top-performing Poké Balls, and also craft the mysterious "GS" Poké Ball.]
