Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 447 "The Guardian of the Water City"!
"It seems you won't let this go if I don't go. Fine, just like we agreed, I'll get your body materials, plus the Phantom Tree Fruit."

Before Lightmoss could finish speaking, Tapu Fini couldn't wait to splash Cleanse Water all over it.

It's as if they're impatiently declaring their sovereignty!
This is one of the rituals for becoming the King of Pony Island. The real succession ceremony also requires wearing local traditional clothing, wearing a Z-bracelet, and performing a traditional dance or striking a full-on pose.

"Lady~"

From now on, you are a candidate for the title of Island King. When you come to the Alola region, I will immediately give you a Glowstone!
With that stone and your craftsmanship, you can create the Z bracelet!

I've made a huge concession, so you absolutely have to come. No no-shows allowed!

"Not just one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Temporary Workers, but also the King of Temporary Worker Islands."

However, the king of the island doesn't receive a salary.

Anyway, in a few years, the people who are supposed to succeed and take the stage will be in place one after another, so it's not a job I can do for a long time.

By then, the three-year period will have ended!
Giratina: [So he's now the King of the Alola Islands. Not bad, he holds a prestigious position wherever he goes. Excellent people are always sought after by legendaries.]

The Crowned King remained silent, only gesturing towards the radish.

Goddess Mewtwo chuckled, finding this "work refusal" quite amusing.

Only Egui Pong seemed oblivious to this; the young widow was preoccupied with the words Guangtai had spoken earlier.

Is it really possible to meet someone who has passed away again?
Even though it was confirmed by the Earth God, it still sounds incredible!
Beishang Township, Beishang Township! Legendary craftsman, when will you come to Beishang?
Should we first obtain the Phantom Fruit, which can neutralize all toxins?
“You can go even if you don’t get the Phantom Tree Fruit.” Lightmoss snapped her fingers at Evil Pine: “The detoxification is just for preparation, but apart from the detoxification, I just happened to recently learn the technique of making [Sacred Stakes].

"In other words, it's a [Sealing Technique]!"

The Padia Empire, a thousand-year-old legend, used a sacred sealing technique by a tamer. With eight stakes, two chains, and a lid that countered the element, even the Four Calamities could be sealed for a thousand years. What is a mere Peach Blossom?

When the time comes, all eight stakes will be planted in the Eternal Forest. The Moon Bear will be the natural guardian, and no one except the protagonist of Zhu Zi will be able to break those seals!

Of course, seals will be broken sooner or later, so this can only solve the problem temporarily and cannot solve the problem perfectly. In the end, we still need to treat the root cause.

"I said before that the dream world is inconvenient to repair because there are no crystal materials here."

"Moreover, the mask is a real thing. Even if it is repaired in a dream, the real mask will not be restored unless a new mask is made here and taken out."

"However, there is still no crystal material here."

"I'll go there once I finish my investigation in the Parthian region. We made an appointment, so I won't keep you waiting too long."

Because no door has been left in the Reverse World, the "Great Gate" leading to the Reverse World cannot be opened yet, and the power of the Ghost Dragon cannot reach the Padia region either.

Therefore, Sinnoh must go back.

"Bonnie!"

Ergui was very happy and jumped up. Little Orange began to look forward to the future!

Okay, as long as you remember!
A reunion with the former owner.

Those precious masks will also return to their own hands.

Even a broken mask can be repaired!

Great!
It feels like a dream! I really am dreaming right now!
But this dream can become reality!

Lightmoss: "By the way, you can change your attributes and characteristics depending on the mask, right?"

"Although the source of this phenomenon is the mask inlaid with the crystal, you yourself are also a special Pokémon with the ability to change attributes."

Little Orange tilted its body, somewhat puzzled: "Gah?"

Guangtai smiled immediately: "What I mean is, would you like to try on more masks?"

"The mask itself is made in a very simple way. Its power comes from the energy of your spirit and emotions as well as that of humanity. It is transformed by drawing on the attribute energy of nature through the gemstones of Taijing. Over the course of hundreds of years, it has even influenced you."

Judging from the changes in He Yue, E Gui Peng's ability to transform attributes and characteristics based on the mask may not be innate, but rather acquired.

The four masks of Egui Peng represent the four emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

By infusing more emotion and using different attributes, more masks can be created.

I have also collected most of the stone slabs in the Union Kingdom, and I can refer to the variations of the stone slabs to make them.

"By collecting different fragments of the crystal, you can carve more masks. This special power of yours really interests me. It reminds me of Pokémon, which are called gods."

"Did you know that the four masks represented by joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness actually have four other corresponding ones? These are love, hatred, shame, and fear."

Guangtai even had a new idea for creating the mask in her mind.

Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hatred, shame, and fear—these eight are how people interact with others and express their emotions.

Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hatred, shame, fear.

Then there is a ninth emotion: fear!
Joy represents grass; anger represents fire; sorrow represents water; happiness represents rock.

So, what do love, hate, shame, and fear correspond to?
Wait a minute, you're saying this little girl can change her type and ability depending on the mask she wears? How can there be such a Pokémon?

Giratina only then realized what was happening and was greatly shocked!
My new friend, this unassuming little girl, has such power?
"I've never heard of such a thing before," King Raicro exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Even I, after mating with my beloved horse, can only possess two of these traits."

Giratina: [Yeah! Even Unova's Regigigas, after you fixed it, only switches between abilities, but its type remains the same. How can there be a Pokémon that can change its type at will?]

Lightmoss: "Haha, Arceus isn't the only Pokémon that can freely change its type. Besides Direptile, there's also a certain artificial Pokémon from the Alola region."

"Man-made?" Goddess Mewtwo frowned slightly, detecting the keyword.

Lightmoss: "It is indeed man-made, but the reason this Pokémon was created was not to become the strongest, but to deal with the Ultra Beasts from another world."

Tapu Finch: "?"

We have this kind of Pokémon in Alola, how come I didn't know?
"Of course you wouldn't know that this Pokémon was secretly manufactured, and it might already be finished?"

Silithus, also known as the mini-Arceus
The Aether Foundation's artificial Pokémon can switch types using a type-switching disc.

"Changes in form, changes in characteristics, changes in attributes, past and future appearances—even you yourself have an origin and two other forms, so there's no need to be too surprised."

Lightmoss patted Giratina's big foot and looked at the eager Evil Phantom.

She seemed very interested in her suggestion!
However, Egui Peng soon showed a confused expression.

It's really interesting that you can keep changing attributes and characteristics.

But, the mask was originally meant to conceal my identity!

The masks of the past contain precious memories, so they are indispensable. And since I have no friends, I must rely on these masks to fight against those vicious people.

But now, I have many new friends and I'm wearing a new mask. Who will I fight now?
Lightmoss: "Of course, the challenge will take place in a dream!"

"Listen carefully, a brand new world and life are just beginning. When the ancient battlefield known as the 'Dream Sky Battle' reopens, all the legends in the world will be shaken!"

Team up with your friends, try to challenge stronger opponents, and hone your skills.

"Whether you travel to an unknown new world or stay and live in your old homeland, it is essential to cultivate great strength in order to avoid being coveted by malicious people with ulterior motives!"

"There is no shortage of evil people in this world. Compared with them, the villagers of Beishang Township can only be considered ordinary stupidity."

"This world is not lacking in disasters. If you have power, you can help others and do what you want to do, just like the three legendary sword saints of the Unova region."

"Ghost Ponyo, would you like to hear the legends of those legendary Pokémon?"

"Boni!"

Egui Peng was very curious, so Guangtai sat down and began to tell ancient stories from various places.

This is not only being told to Egui Peng, but also to the other friends here.

Even Giratina, which has been spying on the world for thousands of years, has many legendary Pokémon that it doesn't recognize. They are hidden in distant lands, experiencing things unknown to others, just like the island gods of Alola, who have their own secret stories and past.

Tapu Fini found it quite amusing. As the island's land goddess, she wouldn't leave the Alola region, so her understanding of other regions' legends, such as the creation creature Giratina, was only superficial. She was completely unfamiliar with outsiders like the Black and White Dragons. The sea goddess, as if overhearing interesting gossip and fairy tales, casually grabbed Calyrex's turnip and started putting it in her mouth. Calyrex stared, about to say something, but considering the Poni Turnip, she forcibly shut her mouth.

Hmm, considering there will be big benefits in the future, I won't hold it against you, my business partner!
The scroll of fantastical legends slowly unfolds.

"You can definitely learn something from the lifestyles of different legendary Pokémon and their perspectives on the world."

"Some of them are helpful, some are violently destructive, some will bring us eternal happiness, and some are like the gods of the land, simply guarding their own homeland."

"Pursue what you love and stay away from what you hate. That's the simplest way to live. It's hard for humans, but it should be very simple for Pokémon."

"Bonnie!" Ergui Peng was delighted to hear this, because the man from before had said something similar. It was precisely because life was difficult in their original homeland that they dreamed of finding happiness in a new land, which is why they crossed the sea to come.

However, the new land was not such a wonderful place; she lost many things.
Perhaps I need to leave that place?

Egui Pong chewed on the radish, a happy expression on his face because of its delicious taste, and gradually made up his mind as he pondered.

I want to see that man one more time!
Then, she would pour out her longing to him, letting him know how much she had missed him over the past few hundred years!
Tell him again.

Don't worry about me.

I've made so many new friends!

Then, take care of the rest, and settle everything!

"Bonnie!"

I also want to go on an adventure!
Traveling to unknown places with friends.

Crossing mountains and seas with the legendary craftsmen!

Just like a long time ago, when that man was with me, we were happy even though life was tough!

“Past pain is also a valuable memory, but you can’t live with it forever.”

"The world is very beautiful and vast."

The goddess Mewtwo touched EvilCrypton and gave her advice in a gentle and magnetic voice.

Regardless of which Mewtwo it is, they all have a very high talent for philosophy, they just look at things from different perspectives.

This inevitably reminded Guangtai of the original Mewtwo's comeback.

If everything goes smoothly, the crisis in Oblibia may not have occurred.

If everything doesn't go well.

If the "Mewtwo" that appeared in the petri dish of that ancient fortress was not the original Mewtwo, but rather an "Individual 3"...
Once a Pokémon is born, several of its kind will appear. Sometimes this is due to human factors, while other times it may be attributed to certain rules of the world, just as Pokémon eggs are sacred objects that are always born suddenly.

Everyone gathered together to talk about ancient stories and look forward to the future, while Guangtai checked the time of Device C in her dream.

It's almost dawn.

However, at this moment.

With a splash, something seemed to fall into the water not far away. In this dream world, the only thing that could fall into this place is a Pokémon dream!
Tapu Fini drifted over, puzzled, and dived underwater. A moment later, even more confused, it flew up holding a blue Pokémon!
"Letty?"

As the island's guardian, she could sense a strong water aura emanating from this Pokémon, yet it didn't seem to be a water-type. She had never seen such a Pokémon in Alola before, so she brought it over for everyone to see.

In a short period of time, Tapu Fini, whose personality is unpredictable but is considered good-tempered among the four island gods, has become somewhat familiar with everyone.

That's how Pokémon make friends; you might not get along one moment, but you can become friends after just a little chat.

"Hmm, I don't recognize it. It has a streamlined body and looks like it can fly."

[Hey, this guy looks familiar. Isn't that the one that appeared in Fanba City?]

Everyone gathered around, looking at the Pokémon that was twitching slightly, but was still unconscious even in its dream state. In this situation, it is generally believed that the Pokémon has temporarily lost consciousness.

But Moss knows this Pokémon, just as Giratina said.

Latios?

Lightmoss was quite puzzled, looking at the sky near the island. Of course, there was no way that an Ultimate Hole could appear in this dream, but how did this Latios end up here?
Or.
The breath of life is fading. This is a sign of impending death.

[Perhaps it's because Tapu Fini and I are both here, so even in dreams, dying Pokémon involuntarily appear near us?]

While Giratina doesn't concern itself with the spirit world, its earthly stronghold, the Cave of the Return, is considered a place where the living and the dead intersect. The stones found there are a form of hard currency in the spirit world. And Tapu Fizz is even more so.

"I'm here to heal! Healing in the dream world can also affect reality, which is what I find so great about this place!"

The Queen of the Rachelon used Healing Wave!

This healing wave energy is very high, and it is clear that the Rai-crown King has gradually recovered to the "Rai-powerful" state!
If things continue like this, maybe later on we won't even need a horse, and can directly transform into "Ray the Giant"! However, the Grass + Psychic attribute is a bit of a letdown.
"Ladi!"

Latios suddenly opened his eyes under the influence of the healing wave!

The unfamiliar ceiling is wrong; there's no ceiling at all!

Where am I? Who are these Pokémon and this human in front of me?

Latios was filled with vigilance, and his expression became tense as he looked around.
I was clearly caught!

Its gaze met that of the goddess Mewtwo, and in that instant, its memories were read!
Mewtwo the goddess: "I read it out. It's from Latios in Otomare, the City of Water. It's a legendary city that worships Latios and Latias, located in the southern sea of ​​the Johto region."

"This ability is so convenient." Guangtai stroked her chin, feeling that no matter how many times she watched it, the "memory reading" setting of Goddess Mewtwo was just too amazing.

You don't need the other person to explain; they can read the situation simply by looking into your eyes and gaze.

While superpowers are somewhat underwhelming in battles, they are unmatched in everyday life!
"Latios of Odomare, so you are the one from the Secret Garden?"

"You might be a little nervous. Calm down a bit. You're not fully awake yet. This is the Pokémon Dream World, which, as the name suggests, is an alternate dimension formed by the dreams of Pokémon."

The light moss sprinkled a handful of sunlight, gradually calming the restless Latios.

What kind of power is this?

The anxiety and fear in Latios' heart gradually disappeared, and it was able to clearly observe the situation of the world! Only then did it realize that not only had it never seen the Pokémon around it before, but they also did not seem to be this human's "hand Pokémon"?
It's quite unusual that Pokémon from the Johto region can enter the dream world.

Giratina seemed thoughtful:
[So, the areas currently covered by the Dream World include Unova, Padonia, Galar, Sinnoh, and Johto?]

"Uh, Galar won't do. I've never seen any Pokémon other than myself come in."

The Crested King refuted Giratina, stating that it wasn't the only one sleeping in Galar; there were other creatures sleeping too, but none of them were connected to the internet!

In other words.

Previously, the signal was bad in the Connect Tree area, so Pokémon in remote regions could only use 2G networks, which was incredibly laggy.

Now even the Tree of Entry is alive. Even if it hasn't reached its peak, it must have 3G or 4G, right?

"Bonnie~" Ergui Pon handed the carrot in his hand to the other party. Latios was slightly stunned. Looking at the other party's sincere and enthusiastic smile, he didn't know how to refuse. He could only lower his head and silently take the carrot and eat it.

Hmm? It's quite delicious.
No, now is not the time to think about that!
"Lati!"

How can I get out of here? You don't seem like bad people. I have important business to attend to. I've been captured by two humans, and they're going to do something terrible! I must, I must find a way to stop them!

"This incident happened somewhat suddenly, but I had expected it."

Guangtai rubbed his forehead.

Not long after the end of "Encounters Across Time," a time paradox also appeared in that theatrical version, namely the "disappearance of young Professor Oak."

Therefore, theoretically, the timeline of the Johto region was revised after the Celebi movie incident.

So, right after this theatrical version, what followed was the most classic theatrical version in film history - "Guardians of Water City"!
Its stage is none other than Odomare, a town renowned for its art and water! Its prototype is Venice, a city of water.
