Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 448 Let the Flute of Infinity Sound!
I initially thought that this movie was just a romantic love story between Ash and Latias (Lapis Lazuli), and wouldn't have anything to do with anyone else.

Unexpectedly, the unconscious Latios (Latios) unexpectedly entered a dream world with enhanced signal!
"If it's described as being on the verge of death, but not completely dead, just unconscious and in a coma."

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, the Calycerin spoke, its eyes flashing with a strange blue light. After the light faded, the Calycerin looked at Latios with a calm, blank expression.

Then it turned its big head and waved its little hand at Guangtai, signaling her to come closer.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Hmm, I just saw some of the future."

Legend has it that the Lady Crown possesses the power to see through everything in the past and future. After regaining some of her faith, the Lady Crown can now see some special aspects of the future.

The Lacecrown King said solemnly, "This Latios will die soon."

Guangtai nodded: "Ah, I know."

The Crowned King blinked blankly, then said, "Hmm! My friend, has your ability to foresee the future also awakened to such a level?"

There's no such thing as predicting the future; I don't possess that ability. I only know the plot of the story.

Lightmoss muttered to herself, then chuckled, but the Calyrex seemed somewhat conflicted:
"This is really troublesome."

"Although life and death are natural laws, and it is impossible for death to not exist in the world, natural disasters and man-made disasters are two different things. As for me, no matter which one it is, I must lend a helping hand when I see it."

"If I didn't see them, I can pretend I didn't know, after all, they are not my subjects."

"But now that I've seen it, I feel very sad. My friend, I know you possess all the knowledge, how can we save this Pokémon that is about to die?"

Lightmoss shook its head:

"Latios died because it sacrificed itself to save the people of a city, but it was indeed a man-made disaster."

"When Latios or Latias dies, their souls are transformed into an item called the Heart Drop."

"If the Heart Drop is polluted and destroyed, the city will suffer. At this time, the problem can be solved by finding a new Heart Drop."

United does have a new one, but we can't borrow it right now.

Heart Drops are extremely difficult to obtain. In the Johto region, Daigo should have found one, but he probably gave that crystal away.

The events in the movie "Guardians of the Water City" are actually quite simple.

Two world-renowned female thieves, Sanna and Lian, found a record of the legendary gem "Heart Drop" in a library and decided to steal it. They also wanted to capture Latios (Latios) and Latias (Latios), so they arrived in the water city of Odomare.

They chased after Latias and Ash's friends, found the location of the Secret Garden, stole the Heart Drop, and activated the device in the famous Grand Cathedral in Altomare. The device was originally left by Water 7 to fight against enemies and requires the Heart Drop and Latios to activate.

Ultimately, the instrument went out of control, triggering an unprecedented tsunami. Latios and Latias used their power to quell the tsunami, but Latios also exhausted his energy and died, transforming into a drop of heart water.

The series of events that take place in this city primarily depicts the relationship between Ash and Latias (the Red City).
There is a kind of indescribable and wonderful feeling about it.

From the unique romance of the water city to the ambiguous feelings between Latias and Ash, a hazy yet courageous love, it's a romantic and beautiful story.

Whether the bond between humans and Pokémon has transcended friendship and reached the level of love, and Latias's farewell kiss to Ash at the end, is one of the most classic scenes in film history.

The Grand Cathedral apparatus of Odomarra is undoubtedly a product of "mystical science," and the idea that it would cause a massive tsunami and self-destruct if it went out of control is somewhat unclear.

“King Latias, the Heart Drop is no ordinary jewel. If it were an ordinary jewel, it could be crafted using jewel-making techniques. But the Heart Drop requires the soul of Latios or Latias.”

"Even if the Released Jade is used as the material, the Heart Drop created is soulless; it does not possess the complete power of the Heart Drop."

"Well, there might still be a chance."

Since Latios is currently unconscious, it means that the corrupted drop of heart water has not completely shattered.

As long as it is purified in time, everything can return to normal.

Of course, if Latios hadn't died, Ash and Latios's bond probably wouldn't have deepened further.

After all, that was the climax of the movie.

"The second method is..."

"The Flute of Infinity!"

And this is something I happen to know how to make!

Having obtained the Infinity Stone from the blue Latios, he was granted permission to travel to the southern island and also learned how to make the Infinity Flute.

The Flute of Infinity can summon the flute of Latios or Latias, no matter where you are.

Simultaneously.

This flute also allows Latios and Latias to Mega Evolve when they are holding a Mega Stone!
Of course, water doesn't have any Mega Stones.

However, there is still plenty of time!
If the right person plays the flute, the other Latios and Latias on the southern island will travel all the way from Hoenn!

Don't worry about their speed!

Under normal conditions, their speed is equivalent to that of a jet aircraft!

After Mega Evolution, Latios can fly at Mach 4, which is the highest speed in Pokémon!

If the flute is played at this moment, Latios or Latias will be summoned.
Who knows, it might even summon the Hoenn protagonist's Pokémon, Yu's Champion-level Mega Latios!

"There must have been a legend about Odomare in ancient times."

Lightmoss looked up at Latios:
"On an island called Odomare, there lived many simple people, including an old man and an old woman."

One day, the two of them found an injured brother and sister on the beach.

"Under the careful care of the old man and woman, their injuries gradually healed."

"But one day, evil monsters came to invade the island."

"Just as the island was about to be swallowed up by the monster, in front of the old man and woman, the little brother and sister emitted a brilliant light and rose into the sky, and their appearance changed."

"So they are the Infinite Pokémon Latios and Latias."

"The two Pokémon took to the sky and called for their companions from afar to come from the air."

"They brought with them the power to drive away darkness and evil. It was a jewel that shimmered with a crystal-clear blue light. This is the gem called the Heart Drop."

"Peace was restored to the island, and since then, Latios and the others have often come to stay for a while on the island where the Heart Drop is located."

"Since then, the island has never been attacked by that evil monster again."

"But there's more to the story than meets the eye."

"The old man decided to use the power of the Heart Drop to protect the island forever, which means that mankind invented a device that utilizes the power of the Heart Drop."

“When a person with ill intentions uses the Heart Drop, their mind will be polluted, the drop will disappear, and it will be lost along with the island.”

"Without a doubt, that ancient old man must have been a researcher of mysterious science."

"And now, even if you go back, the drop of heart has been polluted, and it is inevitable that it will explode and shatter."

Latios listened with some confusion and curiosity at first, but when the Lightmoss said that the Heart Drop would inevitably disappear, it immediately found it hard to accept!

Queen Lacecrown: "My friend, is this the story of that water city?"

Light Moss: "That's right."

"In the story, it was the Heart Drop that saved the city; therefore, without the Heart Drop, the city's destruction is inevitable." "However, the second solution I'm about to discuss is precisely the most important element in resolving the crisis in the story: [Companions]."

"Latios, calm down."

The light moss sprinkled another handful of sunlight, calming Latios's impatience, which left Bluewater quite helpless.

"Lati!"

First of all, let's not talk about who you are or what kind of weird Pokémon you are. I don't have that much time right now.
You actually know ancient stories? Those are things even I don't know; they're human legends!

But why won't you let me go back right now?

Latios shook his head: "Latios!"

Too late.

Calling for their companions takes time, and even if something significant happens, they can't arrive immediately!
Lightmoss reached out her hand to Latios and activated the power of memory:

“I know you were born in Odomare and have never left.”

"Ladi".

Latios was surprised.

Did this human see their own past?
The two Infinite Pokémon of Alto Mare have never left Latios. They live in the Secret Garden and rarely interact with humans.

Although Latios was aware of the dangers of human society, his sister Latios did not share this understanding.

Because she had fallen for Ash, she invited him into the Secret Garden, but in the process, she overlooked the extent of the evil of the two female phantom thieves chasing her.

"A great disaster will occur tonight, just like in the stories of human legends. That [monster], that is, the tsunami, will engulf the entire island, and you will lose the Heart Drop."

"Therefore, you need companions. Under normal circumstances, it might be too late, but in another situation, it is possible!"

Do you know about hyper-evolution?

Latios was bewildered, looking completely lost.

It had never heard of this thing before, not even when it was a child.

Guangtai smiled immediately:
"On your homeland, the southern island of the Hoenn region, your kind on that island guard the legendary power, the secret of Mega Evolution."

"To gain even greater power through further evolution!"

"There's still plenty of time!"

"Please wait a moment, the carving recipe is..."

The moss plant began its on-site operations.

Unlike the Ocarina of Time, the Flute of Infinity is not made of stone, bone, or jade; it is a rare wooden flute.

At the tail of the flute is a red inlay, and at the top of the flute is a decoration that looks like airplane wings.

[The legendary artifact: The Flute of Infinity!]

[Description: An ancient flute that can summon Latios or Latias no matter where it is! It contains intense longing and memories, possessing immense spiritual power! In the Hoenn region, the Infinity Flute is regarded as a legend similar to that of the Southern Island, and only Hoenn Champion Steven and Yu can use it!]

[Effect: When Latios or Latias is holding a Mega Stone, if it also holds a Key Stone, it will resonate with the Key Stone. If it does not hold a Key Stone, it can directly activate Mega Evolution by consuming the Psychic Power of the Flute Player!]

By placing the flute to your lips, you can play the legendary music, "Soaring Through the Skies"!

When the flute was created, Latios immediately felt an ancient call!

It's as if some memories etched deep within my mind and DNA have awakened. Even though it's a newly created prop, it has the power to evoke feelings of nostalgia!

"Lati?"

What exactly is it? The Southern Island you mentioned, the Flute of Infinity, and the Mega Stone are all things I've never heard of.

But can this really protect the island?
Lightmoss: "Hopefully I can make it! Anyway... let's trust in the Flute of Infinity!"

"Hoenn is southwest of the Johto region, we should be able to make it in time!"

It is indeed a pity that we cannot go to Odomare.

After all, the instruments in the Grand Cathedral are also products of esoteric science, and studying them might help one understand the essence of esoteric science.

Then we can visit it when we return to the capital.

In short, I wish Ash and Latias eternal happiness. Maybe in this world, Ash will take Latias with him.

No, but that kind of thing is ultimately meaningless.

Based on Ash's actions, it's highly likely that once they reach the new region, Latias will be sent to Professor Oak's backyard to retire, ending up in a similar fate to Umbreon.

"Consider it as making this romantic and beautiful story complete; this is my supplementary ticket."

"No matter how far apart we are."

"As long as you blow this flute of infinity, your companions will come to your side!"

"And remember the message from the Southern Island: all dreams are another reality. Never forget it."

"Give this to someone you trust. Let him play the flute. Don't worry, he'll just put the flute to his lips and it will play automatically!"

--------

Johto region, the city of water, Odomare.

"Wake up, Latios!"

The familiar human voice calling reached my ears.

That was the anxious call from the girl named Canon, who had once lived with him.

Latios suddenly opened his eyes!

The sounds of the dream world gradually faded away; it was indeed a bizarre dream. It shook its head, observing its current situation.

They were locked inside the Grand Cathedral's equipment, while the two foreign vile women were controlling the Grand Cathedral's operating system.

That device was built by ancient humans to protect the water city from any external attacks.

The humans living with him, Mr. Bengrave and the young girl Canon, were all bound by the silk spun by the spider named Ariados.

Foreign thieves are stealing the power of Odomare.

They are also stealing their own power!
The drops of water in my heart are gradually becoming filthy, and I can do nothing about it.

Then Latios felt something on his body. He put his hand in the feathers on his body and was startled.

Every dream is another reality. Never forget it.

That strange voice resounded in my heart!

Just as the mysterious craftsman in the dream said!
That's not a fantasy!
In my dream, I actually received something important from a strange human craftsman!

The Flute of Infinity!

A person who can play the flute
Yes, I need to have my sister bring that boy in the hat over here!
