Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 427 Kimi, at your level, has no right to criticize me.
On their way out of the Third District of the South, the companions did not slack off in their training.

While the Rock Lord's pincers are certainly delicious, after consuming enough tasty food, one must continue training with gratitude!
"call!"

While exercising, we continued our journey, and Shenbo Town was already in sight.

Once here, there's no need for the fossil pterosaurs and Genesects to fly and travel; the last bit of travel can be completed in the morning without any problem.

Genesect didn't mind; it could float slowly even without high-speed flight. However, the fossil pterosaur would have some difficulty moving on the ground, so it flapped its wings and flew into the sky to begin its free movement.

"Doesn't Kaguya want to go out and do some activities?"

Ah, I'm about to see so many people! I'm a little scared, but it's so comfortable inside the Strange Sphere.

Ever since entering the Strange Sphere, Kaguya seems to have found her comfort zone. Unless absolutely necessary, she always refuses when asked if she wants to come out.

This personality is becoming more and more like Pochi. Could it be that the Strange Ball is the same as the Mango Cardboard Box?
"mango."

The moss wrote the two large characters "Mango" directly on that strange sphere.

That's right, this is how it should taste!
Deoxys cannot come out, Kaguya does not want to come out, and the Soul Heart is not included in this calculation.

The other companions were mostly around, and the earth turtle even ran out for some fresh air last night, mainly to check the secret seasoning.

The collection progress has increased, and the turtle is very satisfied. However, it still prefers bitter food to sweet food.

Because of his cautious nature, he particularly enjoys bitter flavors.

The saying goes that a tortoise that can endure hardship will eventually suffer, but this doesn't apply to the Taiwan tortoise.

"As for the body, there are no obvious signs of gigantification yet. The treasure masters all grew to be large after consuming it for a long time. In the future, when we dream, let's give these seasonings to the Queen of the Bejeweled."

By having the Lady Crown help cultivate it, and then handing it over to the Tree of Connection in the Connected World for care, it can be used on a large scale.

"After arriving in Padiya, will you still be able to enter the dream world?"

Light Moss asked Earth Turtle and Miss Skirt.

"Dole!"

Miss Skirt gave an affirmative answer. She happily talked about entering the dream world last night. King Rai-Crowned had cultivated many more fields and discovered several unexplored floating islands. When she saw them last night, King Big Head was fishing.

"What? The Stardew Valley adventure has progressed to the fishing stage?"

"Dole~"

"That's right!" Miss Skirt nodded, and the King of the Rachel got a broken fishing rod from somewhere and spent the whole night fishing on New Sky Island.

The Crowned King has obtained the item [Worn-out Fishing Rod]!
"But there are no convenience stores or shops selling fish in the dream world, so what's the Calyrex doing catching so many fish?"

In Stardew Valley, fishing is an important way to quickly accumulate wealth in the early stages and is an essential goal for new players.
But this is the Pokémon world!

Most of the fish caught were Pokémon!

Lightmoss hasn't entered the dream world recently, but she knows that her companions can still enter the dream world normally even if they are far away from Unova, which puts her at ease.

In regions far from Unova, the link to the Dream World is unstable. Now, perhaps due to the repair of the Connection Tree and the existence of the C Device, everyone can enter the Dream World anytime, anywhere.

"Tonight I'll go into my dreams to see what's going on, and while I'm at it, I'll give Zekrom some maintenance. It's probably turned back into stone by now in Kyurem."

"Speaking of the new sky islands, could it also be related to the stability of the Tree of Connection? Maybe it will link to dreams in other distant regions?"

"There are quite a few regions related to water and fish, such as the Orange Islands, the Seven Islands, Alora, and Oblibia."

During this journey to the distant town, even Emperor Yan, who had not made a long-awaited appearance, came out.

Although Emperor Yan can observe everything around him through his supernatural powers while inside the Dream Sphere, he always comes out once or twice to scout out a new area.

"If the dream world can be entered at any time, doesn't that mean that one can continue to cultivate even while dreaming?"

Emperor Yan put forward a novel idea, which made Miss Skirt and the others' eyes light up!
Guangtai pondered, "That does sound very convenient, but exercising in dreams and working when you wake up...won't that be a bit tiring?"

"After all, the training in the dream world is real. In reality, we appear to be dreaming, but our minds are in another dimension."

Emperor Yan: "There shouldn't be any such concerns. You've been to the dream world many times, and when you wake up, your mental and physical condition is still full of energy, isn't it?"

"I think perhaps the dream world itself carries a resting energy; it's an alternate dimension where everyone can 'rest'."

“Last night, I also returned to the dream world and found the Dream Tree to observe. I also asked the Connecting Tree through the dream, but although the old tree has sprouted, there are still many things I can’t remember.”

"It is certain that the dream world probably possesses the same energy as the Released Power and the Stimulation of the Stars. That energy fills the entire dream world and carries the dreams of life, restoring our physical and mental strength."

"But this kind of recovery is only a natural recovery. If you are injured in real life, you can't recover just by sleeping."

Entei was once a phantom, a mythical creature born from a girl's dream. Its true nature is not actually a Pokémon, but it has now been recognized by some powerful figures in the world, making it a new Entei that has broken away from the established order.

Guangtai: "Your research on dreams is so in-depth, it feels like you could write a paper on it. You're amazing."

Emperor Yan: "I am not human, so you might as well not write papers. The reason I have these observational abilities is probably because my master is Xiao Mei and her father is Dr. Xiu Li. As a substitute for Dr. Xiu Li, I also have a certain research talent."

"Regarding research in this area. And, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I vaguely heard a strange call, though perhaps it wasn't directed at me, but at you."

Light Moss: "Huh? Why would you think that?"

Emperor Yan seemed thoughtful: "Because that voice vaguely mentioned something about starting a challenge or something like that."

Suddenly, Guangtai remembered something!
"The Great Challenge in Dreams. You don't mean... Dream Sky Battle?"

Oh dear, is this something we should be bringing out now?
What ingenious plan has the Great Sage of Sinnoh come up with this time?
The dream world seems like a very simple and pleasant other-dimensional world, but it actually hides many secret settings. For example, dreams also exist in the maze world, and prophecies and orthodox dream messages can be made through dreams.

In the main world, there is a challenge mechanism called "Dream Sky Battle" hidden in the dream. After completing the battle, you will receive a reward from the dream and bring it into the real world.

Lightmoy: "You have to fight towers in the real world, and you still have to fight towers in the dream world?"

Emperor Yan: "Perhaps... uh, maybe it's to have you guard the pass. Next time, go to the dream and see if you can hear that voice. According to you, the only one who can mutter in dreams is Grandmaster Sinnoh, right?"

"Speaking of which, have you ever thought about bringing those trainers into your dreams to challenge them and setting your own set of rules?"

Emperor Yan suddenly made a strange suggestion: "Anyway, the C-device will soon be widespread, and when everyone has one, it means that these human trainers will also enter their own dreams."

"In their dreams, they will also encounter Pokémon and play in different dream locations. If a mechanism is set up that allows all dreamers to challenge it, or even a tower that transcends time and space, then both the living and the dead can fight side by side."

“This sounds like an enhanced version of the online world,” Guangtai pondered. “But with my current skill level, it’s difficult to build something this massive, and besides, I don’t have that many rewards to give out.”

"Our focus in setting up this facility is on what we can gain ourselves. The main goal is to nurture our own partners. Let the Grandmaster of Sinnoh refine this Dream Challenge mechanism, if that's really what he thinks."

The Dream Sky Challenge mechanism only exists in Xi Cui, and only the protagonist Xiao Zhao can enter the challenge.

However, chronologically speaking, perhaps other people received Arceus's dream, which led to the creation of challenge facilities in various regions.
Well, that's not entirely true. After all, there was also the "Solo Path" set up by Beishang at the same time, which was also a kind of challenge facility.

"If we really dragged the whole world into the dream to compete in the challenge, it would be much more exciting than any world championship. Fanba City and Miyagi City would be the biggest losers. After all, I can really challenge legendary Pokémon in my dreams. Can you do that in reality?"

Emperor Yan had only mentioned it casually, realizing that the idea was still too naive, so he didn't continue. However, Guangtai saw through its thoughts:
"You...you don't actually want to send Xiaomei into the dream world to fight in the challenge, and then use your invincible crystal power to give her 'magic' points to create illegal Pokémon so she can beat up the challengers, do you?"

"In that case, Xiaomei can achieve the accomplishment of having 20 years of combat experience despite being only six years old, right?"

The last person to achieve this was Ash Ketchum, but Ash only has a few years of battling experience, not the exaggerated twenty years. However, his age has miraculously remained at ten years old without wavering.

Emperor Yan felt somewhat guilty after his thoughts were exposed.

"You were the first to create weird Pokémon, weren't you!"

"Then tell me, what exactly is that Giant King you created?"

Lightmoss: "That was something I modified myself using my skills, but it's your crystallizing power."

Emperor Yan: "That was something I changed using my own abilities."

Lightmoss was momentarily speechless. She'd been rendered speechless by this phantom Flame Emperor!

Damn it, you Flame Emperor with a built-in cheat code!

"Let's take a look at how the new hero is training."

Having gained the upper hand verbally, Emperor Yan was in a good mood. To prevent Guangtai from raising any more outrageous counterarguments, he quickly changed the subject!
"Charcoal Servant did a great job. By the way, did you consider having Burning Worm and Charcoal Servant learn Sacred Fire?"

Tanjiro swung his hammer, and he and Riolu fought each other as they advanced, training their moves to hit and be accurate.

However, just like before, Tanjiro's attacks were almost impossible to hit against the cunning Riolu, so the Solar Knight started a marathon and entered kick mode.

Then, flash, flash, Solar Flare!
Then he grabbed a lump of mud from the ground and threw it at Riolu!

Snacks, let's go!

In Pokémon battles, this is actually a formal move!
Throw mud!

Attack your opponent by throwing mud at their face or other targets. This will reduce their accuracy!

However, theoretically, this is a move that Tanjiro could never learn, a ground-type move. But manually throwing mud doesn't count as throwing mud.

Cats, dogs, pigs, even tadpoles can imitate mud, but I, a human, can't throw mud. Do you think that's reasonable?!
Just throw it away!

However, Riolu was hit by Solar Punch and couldn't open his eyes, so he simply closed them.

The blue puppy's ears floated up because of the surge of waveguide!
The Mind's Eye, with its sharp and clear vision, discerns the opponent's movements. In defense, it allows one to evade attacks, while in offense, it ensures a successful strike.

But even if one loses their eyes, does that mean their inner vision can no longer function?
It even has its own "waveguide"!

Invisible waveguides permeate the entire sky and earth. Every living thing possesses waveguides, and by observing the movement of these waveguides, one can grasp the actions of others!
Riolu's claws swung around!
The lightning-fast punch landed squarely on Tanjiro!
Then, the claws turned into palms!
An invisible force pierced through the armor, sending the little knight flying!
Use your strength!

It attacks the opponent by unleashing a shockwave. Sometimes it can paralyze the opponent!
Traditional kung fu emphasizes neutralizing force!

"Click-clack!"

Charcoal Servant was knocked to the ground and, unsurprisingly, fell into a state of paralysis, but Lightmoss waved at it.

"Hey. Here's the prop I made for you last night, use it now."

Oh, the props Master gave me! A lightbulb went off in Tan Xiaoshi's head!
Oh, and orange juice with pulp!

Charcoal Servant pulled out a bottle of potion from behind his back, gulped it down, and the paralysis was lifted!
"Is that a drinkable medicine?" Emperor Yan asked curiously.

Lightmoss: "Yes, wound medicine and potions to remove abnormal statuses are available on the market, but those are all sprays and topical applications. I used the corresponding tree fruits to make a concoction that can restore all abnormal statuses."

Pharmacist, one of the hidden professions in the Pokémon world.

In games, anime, and manga, the creators of Pokémon cubes might be considered a type of apothecary, and there are NPCs selling potions in the markets of the Hoenn region.

However, when it comes to truly powerful apothecaries, we have to mention Mitsuki, the female protagonist of the Sun & Moon special! She is the only trainer in all three storylines to possess the "Apothecary" trainer type!

The prototype of the full moon is naturally "Mizuki", the female protagonist of the Sun and Moon game. She is not only a pharmacist, but also a researcher and archer. She likes Poison-type Pokémon and can make all kinds of miraculous potions by mixing various toxins and berries.

The most famous of these is the "Pain-Free Elixir," a potion she made from the fruit of the Wuhua tree that instantly healed the male protagonist Shengyang's leg injury.

The moss is also studying important things and giving them guidance.

"The official name of that secret medicine is the [Universal Antidote]. It restores a certain amount of health, removes abnormal statuses, and then allows the user to be immune to abnormal statuses for a certain period of time."

"In terms of practicality, it is somewhat similar to the full recovery potion, but because it has an additional special effect, I think it is more valuable in actual combat than the full recovery potion."

"However, most Pokémon don't understand how to use healing items, so they can only fight with berries. But Samoyed is an exception, since its egg group is humanoid. It can learn and use anything that humans can use."

Emperor Yan: "I see. So, it means the [Mystic Protection] effect has been added. Therefore, besides some special plants, what else is needed to make this potion?"

Light Tower: "We used secret sweet and bitter seasonings, as well as powder from burning insects!"

"If you can add Celebi's Leaf and Ho-Oh's Sacred Ash, it can have the same effect, but using these two directly is even better. Of course, any Pokémon that can learn Safeguard and can drop specific materials will work."

After drinking the orange juice with pulp, Samurai regained his strength and continued running forward with Riolu. The two of them circled around the main group, so they didn't run too far.

As for those wild Pokémon, they initially dared to observe from the edge, but after being blown away by Riolu's two Earthquake attacks, they never dared to approach again!
Hey, hey, hey, your Riolu is the wrong level! We don't have wild Riolu this strong in our area!
Lightmoy: "It seems that no matter how many potions Charcoal Servant drinks, he's still at a disadvantage."

Emperor Yan: "So, shall we give it a try and see if it can master the sacred fire?"

"Although theoretically, the right to use the Sacred Flame can only be granted by the Phoenix King, I am not part of the official system."

"Although my Sacred Flame might have been given to me by Ho-Oh in a dream, perhaps through my power, other Pokémon can also master the ability of Sacred Flame?"

Theoretically speaking, among the legendary Pokémon's exclusive moves, the Sacred Flame is the only one that can be "legally bestowed." One prerequisite for obtaining the Sacred Flame is that you must become Ho-Oh's subordinate.
However, the suggestion from Emperor Yan made the Light Tower think that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Tanjiro's special ability is to ignite flames, allowing him to unleash even stronger flames with the help of fire. He had previously absorbed some residual blue flames, but it didn't cause much of a change.

Of course, if Samurai is to evolve into Crimson Knight, Holy Fire, as a fire-type physical attack, is actually not suitable for it to learn. The same goes for Incineroar; after Incineroar evolves into Volcarona, it can learn the equally powerful and more suitable Fire Dance.

"However, the Holy Flame cannot be judged solely by its power. It also contains the power of the Phoenix King. Once you learn it, you might be able to mass-produce [Holy Ash]."

Charcoal Boy is a being born from charcoal and flame.

Ho-Oh's sacred ash was created by unleashing power from the great fire of the Bell Tower.

Unburnt ashes, sacred ashes—they all match up, don't they?

"The next step is to pass the fire on!"

Riolu's attacks were fierce, not only because of the difference in level, but also because of the difference in combat experience!

However, at this moment, a partner stepped in!

Victini munched on a cookie, watched for a while, and then pointed her little finger at Tanjiro!

Are we at a disadvantage?

Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you!

Victini chuckled and shared a portion of her power with Tanjiro, who then unleashed a burst of firepower upon receiving the power!

A huge burst of flames erupted!
boom!
A powerful wave gathered on Riolu's claws. Facing Samurai's attack, Riolu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead used its Aura to block it directly!
The one who was most stunned by this was Gu Jianbao.

The snow leopard had previously noticed that the little blue dog was not to be trifled with, but this one was far too dangerous!
Looking at the group of guys around me, I felt that each of them was hiding their strength and was no less than me, especially this big lion, which made Gu Jianbao feel a little threatened!

"Ok?"

Emperor Yan looked at the Ancient Sword Leopard's squinty eyes with some confusion, noticing that the creature seemed curiously reaching out its paw, as if wanting to scratch him. He immediately hissed, causing the Ancient Sword Leopard to jump up!
Oh dear! This really upsets the leopard!

I used to be the most expensive of the four treasures of calamity!

Logically speaking, someone of your rank, Hakimi, has no right to criticize me!

But the ancient sword leopard narrowed its eyes. It had already keenly realized that this lion named Yan Di and its "tamer" were not normal partners, but rather just companions traveling together!

Ha, now we have an opportunity!

What Emperor Yan couldn't do, I, Leopard, can do; what Emperor Yan couldn't do, I, Leopard, will do my best to do!
The cat niche that the trainer lacked is now mine! You can go now, I'll hiss in your place!
Gu Jianbao quickly rubbed against Guangtai's body.

Little did Guangtai know that as he looked at the Ancient Sword Leopard, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"The power of emotions is the source of energy in the United States. Dreams and ideals swirl like a vortex, giving birth to the Jewel of Release."

"Forge a calamity sword that has not been corrupted, then gather people's emotions and place it in the snow."

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to mass-produce the [Ancient Sword Leopard]?"
