Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 382 The Miracle of Technology: "Ecological Core"

"Ha! You actually say the Trainer Academy in Higanbana City is no good? Who do you think you are, old man?!"

Ash, who had a fiery temper, was very unhappy, as that was an official teaching location approved by the United States Alliance.

Now, suddenly an older man appears and says your school is no good. Although Ash isn't a student at the Trainer Academy yet, he's still furious!
How dare they insult their hometown, Hinoki City! This is a serious insult to the long history of Hinoki City, and they must apologize immediately!
"Oh my! I don't mean to look down on the Trainer School in Hinoki City. Cough cough, actually, I also contributed to the investment in your school."

"As for who I am, let's just say I'm an educator who loves competitive gaming."

"Not only in the education sector, but also in the business sector, you must be very successful." Guang Tai breathed a sigh of relief: "Principal Xi Lan, I've heard so much about you."

But how come a DLC character like you spawns in Hinoki City? Shouldn't you be appearing in East Unova?

Moreover, back in Feiyun City, in order to avoid Lan Lehuo, he did not reply to Xi Lan's invitation. Unexpectedly, when he went to the southwest of Unova, he still ran into this old man.

This is a "destined encounter," are you some kind of legendary monster?

"Oh! You actually know me? I didn't expect that I, the principal of a new college, would become somewhat famous."

"Cough cough!"

Xi Lan coughed and said, "Three children, I have been invited to your trainer school for 'teaching observation'."

His explanation helped the three children understand the situation.

"Blueberry Academy is a planned, top-tier academy in the Unova region. Therefore, it aims to learn from the best practices of various schools, and will conduct observation and learning sessions at Trainer Schools in different cities. At the same time, it will select suitable talents to become the teaching staff of Blueberry Academy!"

"That's why I came here!"

"The Trainer Academy in Hinoki City is a school with a long history and a strong faculty. To date, it has graduated more than 70 classes and has trained many trainers who can be called the backbone of the Unova region!"

"So I feel truly honored to be here!"

"Our academy's goal is to focus on training competitive trainers, so outstanding students from various schools will also receive admission notices from me."

"However, it seems you're not old enough to start school yet, you're still a year or two away. But I have high hopes for your future!"

Xi Lan wasn't lying. He had watched the three boys' learning process from start to finish and discovered that they all had different talents, which is why he admired their talent.

But Guangtai laughed inwardly.

These three little ones don't really need to go to Blueberry Academy for further studies. With just a short time and enough experience, they can quickly grow into top-tier trainers who are "unparalleled in the world".

This title was personally bestowed upon him by Adek.

In fact, the protagonists and rivals of each generation can be seen as representatives of the "wild fighting" style, while the school style only gradually produced masters in later generations.

This is due to version incompatibility.

"What? So you came here to study because a new school is being built? Well, you've come to the right place."

After realizing that Xi Lan meant no harm, Ash's attitude softened slightly, and Gongping stroked his chin:
"There are really a lot of schools in the Unova region, but right now the most impressive one is probably Twin Dragon Academy in Twin Dragon City."

Mingyi: "The strongest school... I feel like the academic workload must be incredibly heavy."

"Theory alone cannot cultivate the strongest trainers, and practice alone is not enough either, so the two methods must be combined. In this respect, the Trainer School in Hinoki City does the best!"

Xi Lan's words weren't just empty flattery; they were genuine. Guang Tai nodded slightly in agreement, since this was the only training school with a gym, and it offered a wealth of social practice courses.

Before Blacklink became the Gym Leader of Hinoki City, he originally planned to have the retired Alderman become the instructor, a fact that some students at the Trainer Academy would mention.

However, Adek declined, saying that "the future belongs to the young people."

If this were to happen, it would be the only place in history where people would be able to challenge former champions right from the start. However, despite saying he wouldn't go to the Trainer Academy, Alder still opened his own private school in his hometown of Suiki Town.

"Our Blueberry Academy was built in conjunction with the resource development plant that also operates on the seabed. Therefore, after its completion, it will be located in the sea off the coast of Unova, in the southeastern part of the ocean, and its main body will be submerged in the sea."

"This will also utilize the construction technology from the Pokémon Lodge in Newt City and the underwater tunnel in Ripple Town."

"At the same time, we plan to establish a sister school relationship with Padiya College in the Padiya region, which is a prestigious school with an 800-year history."

"So, do you now have a general understanding of Blueberry Academy?"

Guangmo recalled.

The current headmaster of Padia Academy should be Mufi, not Claver. Xilan and Claver are close friends, but not Mufi.

So it seems that forming a sister school relationship is just on the "agenda".

"An underwater tunnel?" Ash and Gongping were very confused, but Mingyi suddenly realized: "Oh, that's how it is!"

"My mom said that to commemorate the friendship between Lianyi Town and Boshi City in Qinghai, they plan to build a super amazing ocean tunnel for sightseeing between the two places!"

"It is said that a lot of cutting-edge technology will be used on it, but it is still in the planning stage. Once it is built, you will be able to walk freely on the seabed and enjoy ocean sightseeing."

"Huh?! There's such a thing? That's amazing!"

The three children were both surprised and excited, and after hearing this, Blueberry Academy seemed to have become even more impressive.

"So this planned academy is such a high-class place," Ash murmured. "Schools in this new era are really amazing."

"Hahaha~! That will definitely be one of the most amazing buildings of this century!" Xi Lan was genuinely happy to receive praise from the three little ones, and then looked at Guang Tai:

"Having said all that, do you have any interest in teaching at Blueberry Academy?"

Guangtai waved her hand: "I don't have a teaching certificate. Besides, aren't teachers usually researchers or research assistants who have changed jobs? I'm just a trainer from out of town."

I had said this to Nari before.

However, Nari suggested that the teacher's certificate could be obtained later.

At this time, Xi Lan also expressed the same opinion:
“Powerful trainers don’t need to be bound by certifications. Trainers who truly possess great strength are walking encyclopedias of battle.”

"For outstanding talents, we will make exceptions for recruitment! The benefits and compensation will be top-notch!"

“Of course, that’s not all.” Xi Lan suddenly pointed to Genesect, which had been motionless and shimmered with purple iron light in the sunlight, next to the Lightmoss.

“That Pokémon wasn’t a natural Pokémon; you could tell at a glance.” “I’ve heard about Team Plasma before. There are indeed many mysterious organizations in the Unova region. In their pursuit of power, some of them conduct horrific experiments on Pokémon. I think that Pokémon was one of those ‘experimental subjects.’”

Genesect's eyes lit up, but it didn't attack, because it didn't sense any hostility from Sylan.
Lightmoy: "Hmm, you said he used to be a researcher? He has that unique aura, right? Although I already guessed it."

"Oh? Are you talking to that Pokémon?" Xi Lan was taken aback.

"Now that you mention it! I've heard that quite a few people have recently encountered someone who can talk to Pokémon, but their descriptions of 'this person' are all different, so some people claim that there are actually two people who can talk to Pokémon."

Guangtai: "There are more than two people. Is the other person you mentioned someone with green hair?"

“That’s right, it seems it’s you guys!” Xi Lan’s eyes shone even brighter: “You really are talented!”

"Ahem! I did work as a researcher before, and I achieved some success in both scientific research and business. In the end, I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to education."

"That Pokémon... I mean no harm, I just want to say that you have a mechanical system that I can't understand at all."

"Gino?" Genesect tilted his head, looking puzzled.

Lightmoss: "It finds you strange because, even though there was no battle, it can sense that its mechanical system is different from before."

Xi Lan smiled at Genesect: "Haha! Of course, my eyes are very sharp!"

“So,” he looked at Lightmoy, “that means these systems weren’t installed by researchers from those mysterious organizations, but were designed by you, right?”

"In other words, you are also an expert with powerful scientific and technological skills! Hmm, not only that, judging from the lesson just now, you also seem to be a powerful martial artist!"

"Knowledge, power, technology! The one who embodies all these is the 'strongest' I'm looking for!"

"I'll offer you a deal you can't refuse! It's a top-secret technology that our Blueberry Academy is currently researching!"

Guangtai stroked his chin: "Technical secret. Are you talking about the ecological core that can create the 'environment'? If it's a technical secret, don't just reveal it so easily."

Xi Lan was shocked: "What! How did you know?!"

Hey, the school hasn't even started construction yet, is there already a mole inside? How could the news leak so quickly?
“I am a superhuman.” Lightmoy responded naturally: “Do you know the powers of superhumans? Premonition, foresight, and mind reading.”

That makes sense, since I've already figured out Miss Sabrina's superpowers.

Xi Lan exclaimed in surprise: "What? You read my mind?"

Guangtai laughed: "No, I was just giving an example. I can't read minds."

"Hahaha, Mr. Xi Lan was teased by the teacher." The three little ones were also overjoyed, while Xi Lan realized that he had been startled and was quite embarrassed.

He coughed twice: "I don't deal much with superpowered people, so don't scare the old man. My blood pressure almost went up."

"Now that you know about the core of the ecosystem, I won't hide it anymore. Actually, after realizing your superb technical skills, an idea came to me."

"I hope you can participate in the research on the core of the ecosystem! The development and design of this project is currently facing a bottleneck."

Xi Lan was also very happy to be able to encounter an extraordinary "legendary person" in the wild.

As expected, true masters don't stay in research institutes, but rather randomly refresh their skills in the wild!
"What is the core of the ecosystem?" the three little ones asked.

Xi Lan straightened her clothes with considerable pride: "Good question! This is a miracle among miracles, designed by our Blueberry Academy!"

"It will be used in the soon-to-be-famous underwater garden, the 'Ecological Dome,' where we will project domes and walls onto the seabed to simulate the real-world sky, seasons, climate, light, and day-night cycles."

"We will create an environment suitable for Pokémon to live in, which will include four environmental zones. The temperature, climate and terrain of each zone will be strictly controlled and shaped!"

The three boys were greatly impressed by Xi Lan's words, but Gong Ping still raised a question:
"No, if the goal is to create a natural environment, there are already plenty of wild areas on land, so why go to all the trouble of recreating one in the sea?"

Xi Lan: "You, child, how can you not understand romance! This is a great advancement in shaping nature with human power!"

Mingyi: "But nature is nature. Man-made things can never compare to the real thing, right? Wouldn't moving the original nature away damage the ecological environment?"

Xi Lan: "Well, what you said makes sense, so we chose the location at sea, which won't affect the ecosystem. Also, the soil and rocks used to create the giant ecological dome were all dug out during industrial mining, so they didn't damage the original Pokémon ecosystem."

"You know, there are many Pokémon digging around in the mountains, and the soil and rocks are also utilized."

"At the same time, with the help of Pokémon, we can transform ordinary soil and rocks into a new world suitable for Pokémon and humans to live in. This is the result of cooperation between humans and Pokémon, and it is also the 'unova spirit'!"

The old man swung his fist with great force.

Lightmoss pondered for a moment and said:
"Aren't there similar things in faraway regions, like the giant ecological dome? This reminds me of a place that is also an artificial ecological park. Could it have been inspired by the 'Ether Paradise' and was considered for construction?"

Why does everyone seem to like artificially creating "Biosphere 2" these days?

Artificial incubation, artificial breeding, and artificial release.

There are no real wild Pokémon here; these are all greenhouse-raised Pokémon. Tell me, would you catch them or not?

Xi Lan snapped her fingers: "That's right! It's that one!"

Seeing the three little ones looking completely bewildered, Guangtai explained:
"The so-called Ether Paradise is a protected area established by a research organization called the Ether Foundation in the remote Alora region."

Xi Lan nodded: "Yes! It was built on a huge island to protect injured Pokémon in the Alola region. The protected area simulates various natural environments from the outside world. That huge artificial island is powered by tidal generators!"

"And our designed ecological dome is a super version of the Ether Paradise!"

Light Moss: "A very ambitious plan to recreate the 'local customs' of each region."

In that case, Lightmoy remembered a powerful machine from a special episode.

Team Rocket's "Aura Booster," which uses Ruby and Sapphire, can recreate the "Aura" of Hoenn in the Kanto region. It was originally designed for Deoxys to change form.

In this chapter, a special Poké Ball also appears, capable of suppressing Pokémon with "cosmic power," and it was specifically developed to capture Deoxys.

Blueberry Academy's climate adjustment is actually very similar to the climate amplifier. Sure enough, the good guys' technology still needs to be verified, while the bad guys have already started using it.

Xi Lan opened her arms wide: "If you find the teaching profession boring, then how about joining us in researching 'ecological nuclei' and creating the world's greatest miracle? What do you think of that offer?"
