Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 386 UB04: Cleave

"How did they do it? Of course, it was through 'local customs and environment'."

Guangtai said to Gua Shilang, while looking at Xilan and the three little ones: "Everyone, this is the power of the land."

In her previous lecture, Guangtai mentioned the aura of the earth, and now, through the E-gun, it is shown even more directly, eliciting gasps of amazement from everyone.

"Is this a ranger's tool? Was it invented by a mechanic?" Xi Lan stroked his chin. He had heard that powerful rangers carried many strange tools with them. Those were high-tech equipment that only the Ranger Alliance possessed.

This is because researchers exist in various alliances and organizations, but the truly powerful "mechanics" are a profession that only the Ranger Alliance possesses!

Lightmoss: "No, this is my own tool. The rangers use hunting buoys. I'm not a formal ranger, so I'm not equipped with one of those."

“But it looks like this thing is much more powerful than a hunting buoy.” Barnett’s eyes lit up as she examined the unusual mechanical device.

"To project the earth and wind, forming a specific 'array' of energy. This requires extensive knowledge and a large amount of soil materials, as well as an accurate understanding of each Pokémon's origin. However, this black Haxorus originated here, and its frenzy was due to something else. How could this possibly calm it down?"

Light Moss: "Of course, because what I use is the soil of origin."

"However, even with the same soil, activating the aura of one's homeland through a 'array' can soothe a frenzied and frightened Pokémon to the greatest extent. The land and its environment have power, but if that power is not activated, it is useless."

Meanwhile, Lightmoss was also sizing up Dr. Barnett in front of her.

Oh, it's Dr. Barnett before she "turned evil"!
However, this look is little known; people are more familiar with Dr. Barnett after she arrived in the Alola region and got tanned.

As the discoverer and researcher of dream gaps, Dr. Barnett, like Dr. Makomo, conducted research on the dream world for a considerable period of time.

The only place where one can access the dream world is the Unova region.

It was precisely because of her research on the gaps in dreams that Dr. Barnet later became the director of the Space Research Institute in the Alola region, while also conducting research on alternate dimensions.

Xi Lan: "Dr. Barnett, I seem to have heard that you are researching 'dreams'?"

Feng Lu: "I think I've heard Dr. Makomo mention that before!"

Barnett chuckled:
"Hmm, you two must be Miss Feng Lu and Mr. Xi Lan. You two are celebrities to me, so I recognized you right away."

"I'm just a relatively unknown researcher, but I recently made some extra progress in my research on the dream world, which is why I came here to this nature reserve. I've been studying here for about a week now."

"This is also thanks to Makomo, and also to a researcher named Hikari-moss."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to the Lightmoss, causing Dr. Barnett to pause for a moment before revealing a surprised expression:
"Huh? What's going on?"

Could it be? But surely such a thing can't be such a coincidence.

"Ahem, it's me."

Guangtai coughed lightly and straightened his expression.

It was expected that Makomo would contact Barnet, but it was unexpected that they would meet in such an unexpected place.

The connections between people are truly wondrous.

"This is truly unexpected... no, it should be called lucky!"

Dr. Barnett was quite excited: "Makomo said you have a very deep understanding of the dream world and have discovered the existence of the 'connected world'!"

"Is that the completed C-device in your hand?"

"Would you like to try it out?" Lightmoy patted Device C. Dr. Barnett was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, she looked up at the sky and said, "Although I would love to try it now, there are obviously more important things to take care of."

Xi Lan: "By the way, what is the gap in a dream?"

Dr. Barnett: "It's a crack that split open in the dream world, leading to other dimensions, and that's where the Pokémon's dreams are."

She gave a brief description of the dream world, which only Feng Lu understood, while Xi Lan and the three little ones listened attentively.

"Amazing! You're researching such an amazing topic, and it seems you've already made some progress? Hey, why don't you come and teach at our Blueberry Academy?"

Xi Lan sent an invitation to Dr. Barnett on the spot, but Dr. Barnett gave an apologetic smile:

“While I am truly honored to be invited by Mr. Sylan, I have already decided to conduct research in the distant Alola region.” “Yes, the ‘space’ there is very peculiar. The Dream Rift that I am studying is actually a part of space; space, in essence, is the place where matter exists.”

Lightmoss: "However, not only matter, but also the mind is part of space."

Dr. Barnet pondered: "An interesting argument. The mind, though intangible, certainly possesses power. But why say that the mind is also part of space?"

"Ah! Now is not the time to study these things. Let's deal with the cracks in the sky first."

"According to my investigation, this peculiar black crack is also a rift leading to another dimension, and as this rift widens, it will become..."

"The Pokémon are berserk because something is trying to get through that gap, but while the space in the Unova region is distorted, it is also very solid in another respect."

"Perhaps because of the existence of the dream world and the connected world, this place can no longer accommodate external extradimensional forces."

"But just recently, a strong spatial rift was detected in the Eastern United States region, so intense that even nature reserves could feel it."

“Well, I haven’t felt anything unusual these past few days.” Principal Xi Lan lowered the brim of his hat, and Dr. Barnett smiled. “Of course, because that tear didn’t happen in our world, but in another dimension.”

"It took something from our side."

"Ahem, yes, someone has been reincarnated into another world." Guangtai coughed.

Lightmoss was not surprised that Dr. Barnett could detect the spatial fluctuations of the East Union, because the Union already possessed such technology.

For example, the Seasonal Research Institute on Route 6 can even directly detect instantaneous temperature changes in Kagome Town and Giant's Cave, a distance that spans the entire Unova region.

Dr. Barnett: "Reincarnation in another world?"

"Oh, so there's a Fall issue? How pitiful."

The three little ones: "Fall?"

Dr. Barnett: "Yes, that means you're a reincarnated person from another world! Someone who accidentally entered another world through a spatial rift or someone who fell into our world from another world!"

"That description is quite apt!" She looked at Guangtai with a strange expression.

Gua Shilang chimed in, "Oh, that! I was training here, going through a tough time with the Burning Bugs! But suddenly the powerful Pokémon in the forest got restless, so I fought them to suppress them."

"You're amazing! You look even smaller than us, yet you managed to fight such a powerful Haxorus!"

Gongping stroked his chin, praising Gua Shilang's strength, while this little guy, who would later rise to prominence and become the final boss of the Black Skyscraper or the White Tree Hole, proudly puffed out his chest:

"Hehe! This is the result of enduring hardship!"

Judging from his age, Fan Shilang is a decade or two younger than Mingyi and the other two, and is only about nine years old.

"That's the source of the Pokémon's panic!" Guasil said solemnly, pointing to the widening rift in the sky, from which an unsettling aura emanated!

"It's coming. Is it a human reincarnated from another world, or something else?"

Guangtai's expression also turned serious.

Is it because of Necrozma's power in a certain "Ultra Sun and Moon" world that the Ultra Beasts became active?
So, this is the first time that the Ultra Void and Ultra Beasts have been sighted in Unova, although it is very likely that this will be the only time.

The United States is a place that connects many spaces. The next time the Ultimate Hole appears, it might be the one that swallows up Kita.

boom!
The black cracks suddenly expanded and then turned into a network of voids!

Seeing the design of the Ultimate Hole, Lightmoss felt a strong sense of déjà vu. It looked like a "gateway to the Digital World".

Thinking about it this way, it's a good thing it connects to the Ultimate World; it would be terrible if an Ultimate Beast appeared. Why isn't an Ultimate Beast considered an Ultra Beast?

Then, amidst the wary, scrutinizing, and curious gazes of the crowd, a figure emerged from the ultimate cave!
It was an extremely small and strange beast, yet it was bathed in the energy of the ultimate space and possessed extremely dangerous and sharp "blades"!
Mingyi: "What's that? Origami?"

Hikari: "UB04: Slash! Also known as Paper Sword!"
