Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 450 The End of Odomaree Has Arrived

The Heart Droplet exploded, and the two female thieves were imprisoned in the out-of-control sanctuary equipment.

Crimson lightning raged through the cathedral, its uncontrollable energy surging wildly.

It was a product of ancient, mysterious science. No one knows how this ancient instrument controlled the ebb and flow of the ocean tides; perhaps it was also one of the powers of the droplets of the heart.

no matter what.

The end of Odomare has come.

In the town, Musashi with red hair, Kojiro with light blue hair, and a talking cat perched on a stone pillar in an alley, watching in horror as the Water City underwent changes.

Since it's Ash's movie, Team Rocket's trio naturally joined in the fun, although they didn't do anything and just ran away the whole time.

"What? What's going on, meow?"

Meow made a sound of fear and confusion.

The once tranquil water flowed like an angry dragon, rushing rapidly out of the city. The water that was once ubiquitous in this town was disappearing at an alarming rate.

The water level is dropping steadily, revealing the moss on the bricks and stones in the riverbed. The wooden stakes that were submerged in the water are also emerging one by one. All the water is flowing rapidly in the same direction, like a raging river. This sound of rushing water, which should symbolize life, is now the horn of doom.

The boats and rafts were all carried away by the current, and then the entire Odomare dried up.

The muddy yet solid seabed reveals that this city was built on the sea, and without water, it is not merely a metropolis.
When Ash and his friends reached the top of the Grand Cathedral, they looked out into the distance.

A deep, dark blue covered the entire field of vision, turning the sky and the earth into the same color, like the color of the end before the apocalypse.

The sea has disappeared.

Vast expanses of seabed have been exposed; such significant changes are rare in the southern waters of the Jodo region.

It stretches almost to the horizon, where not a single drop of water can be seen.

Ancient ruins were exposed after the sea receded, dilapidated and standing on the seabed, old and decaying, as if telling the prosperous city in the distance that it would soon meet the same fate.

Latios heard his sister asking him a question.

She made a soft, somewhat frightened sound.

"Lati."

Is Odomarea doomed?
Brother, what should we do now?

Latios gazed into the distance.

Although it hadn't put up much resistance and thus conserved some strength, the energy extracted by the Grand Cathedral's instruments was real, and the flashing lightning had also affected it, so it was now injured.

If you forcefully unleash all your power, you will lose your life.

Latios was not afraid of losing its life; what it worried about was that even losing its life would not save the city.

"Sho, what is that flute for?"

Among the travelers, Xiao Gang asked Xiao Zhi about the flute that had suddenly appeared.

Although the scene before them was truly horrifying.

But Latios's behavior was a bit off.

As the most perceptive person among them, Xiao Gang immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

“I don’t know, Latios made me play it. Ever since I rescued it, it’s been urging me to play this flute.”

"This flute is amazing. As long as you put it to your lips, it will automatically play music."

Of course, Ash didn't know what the flute was for, so he answered truthfully.

But Xiao Gang noticed something was amiss.

Xiaoxia remembered too, and immediately asked:
"Ash, do you remember the last time we saw a Celebi playing the flute in the Lake of Life in Celebi's Forest?"

Ash: "Of course I remember that!"

Since this is Ash from a theatrical version, the amnesia problem isn't too serious. He couldn't possibly forget something that happened not long ago.

Xiaoxia: "At that time, that shurabi played the white flute, and then many shurabi appeared, right?"

"That Celebi also appeared out of nowhere!"

"I'm wondering if this flute is the same as that flute?"

Xiao Zhi scratched his head: "Xiao Xia, what are you thinking? How could this happen? These two flutes are obviously different."

“No, perhaps it’s the same!” Xiao Gang began to analyze: “It’s the same flute that appears suddenly, and it appears in the same dangerous situation. The shrine uses that white flute to call on the other shrines.”

"And Latios also made you play the flute! Ash, do you remember the legend of Altomarai? It's about Latios and Latias visiting this place. Let Miss Canon tell you the story again?"

Canon, wearing a hat and looking somewhat worried and nervous, gazed at the dried-up sea and succinctly recounted:
"Because of the close connection between Aldormare and the Infinite Pokémon, every year some Latios and Latias travel from afar to visit this city."

"We don't know where those Latios and Latias came from. Perhaps they came from a very far away place."

"Yes! That's it!" Xiao Gang said seriously, "Xiao Zhi, play the flute again!"

"Perhaps this flute is meant to summon Latios and Latias! To let the other Pokémon know that danger is brewing here!"

Xiao Zhi was slightly taken aback. Although he felt that such a thing was unlikely, now was not the time to think about those things.

Something terrible might happen, so whatever you do!
So, without much thought, Xiao Zhi made full use of his strengths as a sports student, getting his body moving first and doing that thing, and then thinking about it later!
The boy played the Flute of Infinity, and the wondrous music traversed distant time and space, like a distress signal, crossing the dried-up sea and the dark sky!

Latios looked at the boy who was trying hard to play the flute and nodded slightly.

Although it was somewhat reckless.

But he should be the right person.

The sound of the flute resonated in his heart, and judging from his sister's expression, she was also filled with curiosity and joy.

But now is not the time for joy.

"Ladi!"

Come on, sister! Let's go to the very top of the Tower of the Sun!
So Latios and Latias flew to the very top of the Tower of the Sun, where they could see even higher and farther.

Latios kept looking around. Still not here? The Flute of Infinity had already sounded; so it was just a matter of not having enough time?

Latios didn't know how far Hoenn and the Southern Islands were from here.

But according to the mysterious craftsman, it should be located southwest of Odomare.

So Latios desperately stared intently at the sea to the southwest!

In this deep, terrifying, dark blue world, when will the call of our own kind finally be heard?

"Lati?"

Latias, in red, had no idea what her brother was looking for. She asked him, but he only glanced at her.

It seems they've made up their minds.

Even though I've had the boy play the flute, is it still impossible for him to catch up?

Then let me give my life here.

The distant horizon began to change.

The horizon rose higher and higher, until finally it became a high wall stretching between heaven and earth!
That's not a wall at all!
That's the receding sea returning in an even more ferocious manner!

It flattened the sky and earth, blocking out the distant world beyond.

That was a tsunami, a massive tsunami!
"The city is sinking!"

Mr. Bengrave's voice, the sobbing of young Kanon, and the nervous swallowing of the foreign boys and girls.

The distant tsunami has already destroyed those ancient ruins!
A great catastrophe will occur tonight, just like in human legends. The "monster," that is, the tsunami, will engulf the entire island, and you will lose the Drop of Heart.

The craftsman's prophecy echoed in his mind once more.

Up to this point, it was exactly as predicted.

But I will never let Odomare disappear!
Latias, let's go.

Latios looked at his sister.

That's right, my sister doesn't need to exert much power; all she needs to do is shine together with me!
Then, it was time for me, as the older brother, to risk my life!

Latios and Latias flew away at an extremely fast speed!

Skimming over the dried-up seabed.

Charge toward the high wall formed by the sea!

Latios made up his mind.

Even without the flute, I can stop this tsunami!
With the boy's flute playing, I'm sure I'll succeed!

Thank you, human boy, thank you for still playing that flute even now!
even though!

However, the younger sister might lose herself.
But it's alright, there will be new ones; there will definitely be new brothers to help her.
And I will use all my strength!

Latios was filled with thoughts, and it was determined to give its life to protect the water city, but at that moment, two powerful waves came from the other side of the sea!
No, it's not southwest!
It's in the northwest direction!
Latios suddenly slowed down, and his sister Latios also sensed something approaching.

Are they of the same clan?
No, the aura of our own kind isn't that strong, and it even has a feeling of being superior to them.

So what exactly is it?

While the siblings were confused and uncertain, two purple "Infinite Pokémon" appeared in the sky above the northwest sea!
They hurtled in like jet planes, even creating sonic booms in the air, and their appearance was like an exaggerated version of the Aqua siblings!

"Look! Something's appeared over there in the sea! It's moving incredibly fast!"

The people in the cathedral stared in astonishment toward the northwest, where they too saw two white streaks of light streak across the sky, hurtling toward the tsunami at incredible speed!
Xiao Gang: "I was right! This flute is what Latios uses to summon his companions!"

Xiaoxia: "If I remember correctly, in the legend of Odomare, Latios and Latias received the Heart Drop from their companion and used it to stop the monster, didn't they?"

What is that monster?
Even though the legend is vague, people now have a guess.

The monster that could swallow the entire island was, without a doubt, the massive tsunami!

And in the sea to the northwest!

Mega Latios and Mega Latios saw the surging giant wave, but its scale was so exaggerated that it actually drained all the seawater near Aldomare!
Super Latios: [This is terrifying. How did this disaster even happen?]

Mega Latios: [Brother, hehe, there are Latios and Latios up ahead too.]

Super Latios glanced at his sister:
Yes! Let's go help out before our other companions arrive!

The sound of the Flute of Infinity is coming from Odomare. It turns out the flute is a plea for help. Let's go check it out later!

[The Heart Drop of Odomare seems to have disappeared?]

The two Mega Evolved Pokémon burst forth with dazzling white light, merged into one, and plunged into the colossal wave!
My companions, they've really arrived!

The Flute of Infinity worked!

Latios of the Water City stared in shock at the two strange kin, and then it suddenly remembered.

It's still the story told by that human craftsman.

On a remote southern island in the Hoenn region, their kind guard a secret called Mega Evolution.

Through further evolution, we can gain even greater power!
A super-evolutionary form!
After a brief moment of shock, Latios snapped back to his senses.

Water is their city.

We cannot let our own people charge into battle.

My sister and I also need to help!

But this time...
It seems I don't have to sacrifice this humble life.

Thank you all, and thank you too.
The craftsman in my dreams. Will we ever meet again?
Latios's thoughts drifted into the distance.

A powerful light erupted at that moment!
The raging sea has been calmed!
