Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 400: The Beginning of Super Evolution!
[Defeated the emerging forces and received a significant boost!]

[Your Effort Values ​​and Growth Rate with your Pokémon have increased!]

[I've learned a new move.]

[Genesect: Trash Shot - Money Grabber: Power Gem!]

[Kaguya the Fire: Air Slash - Victini: Defense Switch, Power Switch!]

Victini was just watching.

But I learned two moves.

Guangtai patted Little V, which made the latter giggle.

As expected of Victini!

Actually, as long as you are around, your teammates' hit rate will automatically increase. This is also a kind of "halo buff"!

This is the "Star of Victory"!

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Sorry, I lost, and I even cried.

However, he's really amazing and a great guy. I've already added him to the Boss Fan Club!

Haru Shion sent this message in the group chat of the gatekeepers, and the gatekeeper of the seventh area, Marcello, fell silent.

Even a powerful performer like Haru Shion was impressed.

The strength of the seventh and sixth regions is roughly the same.

Marcello: [What is Haru Shion doing? Is she going to become his support group? How could this happen? By the way, can I abstain?]

Nabaul: [What? You're going to run away from your ultimate fate as a Challenger Trainer?!]

Marcello: [What a load of rubbish about an ultimate destiny! I don't have anything like that! Besides, I'm not good with fire-type Pokémon, how am I going to deal with those two steel-type Pokémon?]

Giovanni (Lambert): [Your job is to at least find out the remaining Pokémon. This is what you're responsible for in Area 8 and below. Leave the rest to me.]

Nabaul: [If only the Ninth and Tenth Districts also had Lords.]

Sakaki (Lambert): [No, of course there are, but that's none of your business.]

This statement silenced the gatekeepers for a while.

The Black Skyscraper hasn't been around for long, but those who can sit in the position of gatekeeper are all top-notch experts, unlike the "pioneers" in the "Battle Frontier Zone".

The pioneering minds were "selected" and they certainly have the ability, but they are far from being unparalleled.

However, within the black skyscraper, only those whose strength surpasses all others in a particular area can become gatekeepers. Afterward, it depends on the gatekeeper's own will whether they continue to advance to higher levels. This is the rule of this challenge facility.

The ninth and tenth areas are located at the top of the skyscraper.

What exactly is inside? A massive amount of black energy gathers at the top of the skyscraper, and no one knows whether there is a Master Trainer inside.

[Above the eighth region are world-class, no, cosmic-level trainers waiting.]

Mr. Lambert, I'm entrusting everything to you.

No, perhaps this newcomer really can surpass us, become a new legend, and become the gatekeeper of the ninth, or even the tenth, region!

As the regions expand, the map gradually widens. How far can we ultimately go?

[Wow, that's incredibly strong!]

The trainers' mindset gradually changed, mainly because the "newcomer" rushing up in front of them was just too fierce!
But Sakaki was very happy.

This is what he's been waiting for, what he wants to see! Destroy this black skyscraper that gathers countless elites from home and abroad!

Only someone like this is worth recruiting by Sakaki!

"Wait a moment, we meet again."

The trainer at the gate of Area 7 is a very familiar face.

Scott, a well-dressed old gentleman, looked at the moss with a rather weary gaze.

"I told you, Your Excellency, we will meet again."

Guangtai remembered that this was the old gentleman she met on the Fantasy Bridge. At that time, he was also coming to Black City, and he spoke mysteriously, and even mentioned the Saint-Annu of the Fallen Leaf Port.

"I'm investigating a certain trainer, I think I've already said that."

"You're quite something, a trainer who's been keeping a low profile." Guangtai was surprised that this old gentleman she had met by chance would actually appear in Zone 7.

According to the trainers at the lower levels, those in Zone 6 and above are basically all Champion Road level trainers.

Among ordinary trainees, this level of skill can already be called "legendary"!
"Ahem, actually..." What Scott wanted to say was that he didn't actually get there through his own strength, but rather by replacing the position of a "comrade lurking here," which allowed him to arrive in Area Seven as quickly as if he were on a rocket.

This is the closest place to Area 8.

“I have already heard about many of the things you have done in the United States.”

“Don’t doubt our intelligence network. Although some information still needs to be verified, the collapse of the Plasma Cluster, the activities of the Tower of Heaven, and your frequent appearances are enough for us to connect all of this.” “What are you talking about?” Lightmoss asked curiously. “I hate Riddlers the most.”

Scott: "Sorry! It's the nature of my job! Well, now we can confirm that you are a trustworthy trainer with your own sense of justice!"

The old gentleman remained silent for a long time, and then, as if he had made up his mind, a strange electromagnetic signal emanated from his side, shielding him from the electronic surveillance in the black skyscraper!
This is a radio wave shield!

As soon as this prop with such clear identity appeared, Guangtai immediately realized the true identity of the person in front of her!
Old gentleman Scott pulled out his identification:
"I am an international police officer."

"The reason I appeared in Unova and the Black Tower is to investigate a trainer who disappeared in the Kanto region."

"Now, after extensive investigation, we have gradually confirmed that the leader of Area 8, [Lambert], is very likely that person!"

Do you know the dojo master of Evergreen City?

Lightmoss: "Are you talking about Bluegreen, the champion of the Quartz League two years ago, or... someone from even further back?"

“Of course, it’s that one from even further back!” Scott sighed. “The Gym Leader of Viridian City, the true leader of Team Rocket, and the leader of a huge organization that was defeated three years ago by a boy named Red!”

"However, Team Rocket did not disband. They are always planning to revive and are active underground, while their leader is missing."

Guangtai thought to herself, "Of course I know that!"
Originally intending to make a comeback, Giovanni was taken to the cave at the Capital Waterfall by Celebi's meddling, which resulted in him getting a good beating for no reason. This made him realize his lack of strength, which is why he left Unova.

"You are a trainer with great strength. Although it is not appropriate to entrust such investigations to outsiders, I have heard that you are also a ranger?"

"If it's a ranger, then things are easier to handle."

"We have applied to the United Tower for a special resolution that if Sakaki's whereabouts are discovered, anyone who assists the organization can be invited to provide assistance!"

"Of course, although this regulation is semi-mandatory, if the person providing assistance is unwilling to help, there is really nothing we can do."

"However, with this regulation, we can always find people who are more willing to help us."

Lightmoy: "You mean you can't go to the higher levels and want me to go to Area Eight to conduct the investigation, right?"

Scott nodded: "Yes!"

"Please forgive my impolite request, but I think you were originally planning to break through to Zone 8, weren't you?"

"If we can uncover the true identity of the gatekeeper of Area Eight during this process, we will also offer corresponding sincerity and rewards!"

International police.

Like the Ranger League, it is an organization that conducts activities and law enforcement in multiple regions, and it also appears in the anime, manga, and games. It is an absolutely indispensable positive organization in the Pokémon world.

The most well-known international police officer is probably the "handsome guy" who spans several generations and has connections with many of the main characters.

In fact, during the Pokémon Generations era, he also worked with other police officers to investigate the whereabouts of the missing Giovanni.

Upon learning that Giovanni was hiding at the Evergreen Dojo, they immediately dispatched their guards to search for him, but they ultimately failed to find him.

His superiors described him as "stubborn and useless, but a man who can produce results."

The second memorable character is probably Lila from another world who appeared during the Sun and Moon era.

Guangtai: "It's certainly something that goes smoothly for me, but what kind of compensation are you planning to offer?"

“Phew, if you can agree. That’s great.” Scott breathed a sigh of relief. “We don’t need you to win, and it’s okay if you lose, just to confirm.”

“The black skyscraper has its own rules. Before the identity of the other party is fully confirmed, the international police cannot violate the rules to enter and arrest people.”

"If you defeat your opponent, that would be even better! I also believe that you have that ability."

"I've heard that you are an artist, a musician, a craftsman who seeks out rare materials, and a very special trainer."

"However, art and music are things that cannot be traded; their value depends on the user and the appreciator."

"Therefore, we have decided to offer the important materials we have collected as a reward for this mission!"

Guangtai: "As far as I know, the International Police don't seem to have any rare materials, but you do have a lot of special technologies, which I'm afraid you won't share."

The question about moss was asked casually.

Of course, the international police would not exchange their core technologies. They are law enforcement organizations, and if such technology fell into the hands of villainous organizations, wouldn't that be disastrous?

This is irresponsible towards the lives of your employees!

"Ahem, of course, but don't worry, rare materials are just as valuable and useful as our technology."

Gentleman Scott took out a round, shiny "stone"!
The moss recognized this:
"This is... the Keystone!"

[Secret Item: Key Stone!]

[Description: A stone containing unknown power. It can allow a Pokémon holding a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve!]

"This is all I have, the corresponding 'Mega Stone'. Considering your team, it seems you have a Riolu."

"Therefore, we will give you a 'Lucario Stone'!"
