Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 451 Are you willing to sign a contract with Latias?
The ocean currents, though still surging.

But at least it returned to Water City in an acceptable way.

The river overflowed again, the dry areas were irrigated, and the ships that had gone far away were all swept back. Apart from the Team Rocket trio who were accidentally swept away, no one suffered secondary damage.

The people of the Great Cathedral were overjoyed to see the Water Brothers and Sisters flying back from the sea.

Ash stopped playing the flute, and Pikachu wagged its tail, its ears perking up in delight.

However, behind the Latias and Sutias siblings, there were two purple Pokémon.

[It's unbelievable that Odomare would suffer such a devastating disaster. However, I don't recall ever having a "Flute of Infinity" on this island.]

Young man, where did you get your flute?

"Speak!"

Ash was startled and looked at Mega Latios, who frowned slightly and looked at the siblings from Latios and Sapphire.

[What's going on? So you guys haven't learned how to use telepathy yet?]

At this moment, the two Infinite Pokémon from Hoenn realized the crux of the problem.

These two Aquamarine creatures in Odomare haven't even learned "telepathy" yet!
This clearly indicates that they haven't been adults for very long, meaning they are still considered "young people" within the Latios and Latias group!
Latios of the Water City was slightly taken aback.

Telepathy? What is that?
[Hehe, telepathy is the ability that allows us to communicate with different life forms on a spiritual level. Latios and Latias both possess this ability~.]

Super Latias covered his mouth and laughed.

The description in the encyclopedia is as follows.

Latios possesses high intelligence and can understand human language. It is a gentle Pokémon that dislikes fighting, only showing affection to kind-hearted people, and can project its thoughts and feelings onto others through images—an ability called Dream Projection.

Even if they disappear without a trace, they still retain a spiritual connection, thus knowing where their companions are and their mood.

Latias is also highly intelligent and can understand human language. It communicates with humans through telepathy and has a very keen sense of human emotions.

Although telepathy is also a characteristic.

However, most Psychic-type Pokémon, especially those with legendary stories, often possess this ability.

The siblings from the water city looked confused and ashamed.

At this moment, Xiao Gang seemed to remember something and reminded Xiao Zhi:
"There's no need to be so surprised. Lugia and the Flame Emperor seem to have done the same thing, haven't they?"

"Oh, right." Ash remembered; his amnesia had been temporarily cured by Brock.

[Alright. We'll teach you how to use telepathy later. Let's talk about the Infinity Flute first.]

Mega Latios looked into the distance.

Can you feel it? Our other companions, who roam the seas, are also heading this way.

They should carry droplets of heartfelt emotion.

Latios looked at his senior.

It answered truthfully.

He had entered a strange dream in which he met a human craftsman and some legendary Pokémon. The craftsman foresaw the disaster that would happen tonight and gave him this flute.

You said there's a world in my dreams, and in it live humans and legendary Pokémon?

[This is unbelievable. Normally, this would be a hallucination. But Odomare doesn't actually have the Flute of Infinity. This flute was brought out of a dream.]

[Brother! Do you still remember the legend of the Southern Island?] Mega Latias looked at his brother.

These are characters carved by ancient humans in the Hoenn region, a story from an unknown period of time.

The words I etched in my mind resurfaced.

All dreams are another reality; never forget them!

Super Latios suddenly felt that the human writing that was carved in the inscription might not be such a simple thing; it seemed to be telling a story.

The world in a dream? The world in a dream?

[I remember now, brother!] Mega Latias suddenly remembered something: [I met Latias from the Unova region before. She told me that the world there is very interesting, and that you can even see a wonderful new world in your dreams!]

"That must be the world from my dream!" she said. "I dreamt it in a place called 'The Ruins of Dreams.'"

The siblings from Hoenn naturally had no idea about the secrets of the Unova region.

However, they also have their own kind in the Unova region.

That's right, in Black 2 White 2, Latios and Latias will appear in the Ruins of Dreams at level 68, and after the battle, they will leave behind Heart Drops.

Latios and Latias in the Unova region are well hidden.

They rarely appear before the world, so much so that they are absent from any legends and stories.

Super Latios: [Unbelievable! This is the first time I've ever heard of this other world. It's definitely beneficial to travel more. So, the flute was really made by a mysterious craftsman? That's unbelievable; not many people should know how the Infinity Flute was made.]

It looked at the somewhat bewildered Ash, then at Latios in Latios:

【You don't have any Mega Stones, so you can't Mega Evolve. Of course, you're too young; using Mega Evolution would put a lot of strain on your bodies.】

Mega Latios intended to give the Evolution Stone to the Latias and Saturas, but it turned out they couldn't even communicate telepathically. This suggests they were too young to control the power of Mega Evolution and might even lose control and self-destruct.

So let's wait until they get stronger before making any moves.

"Wait, this is it!"

Like a master of deduction, Xiao Gang suddenly shouted, looking at Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia, and analyzed in a serious and deep voice:

"The craftsman in the dream, a person who appears and disappears mysteriously! Remember, we know someone like that too!"

"Mr. Guangtai, whom I met on the green grassland, was just like that!"

Xiaoxia recalled, "Ah, that guy! But, although his tools are amazing, he couldn't possibly make such a powerful Infinity Flute, could he?"

“No, you’re wrong!” Brock shook his head seriously: “He used Teleport to leave! Only powerful Psychic-type Pokémon or Psychic users like Sabrina can use Teleport.”

"Don't forget, he knows the legendary Pokémon of the Johto region, and he's quite mysterious, isn't he? On the surface, he seems like an ordinary craftsman, but both the way he left and the conjectures we got from Professor Oak confirm that he's no ordinary person." "Didn't the other Latios say that the Infinity Flute doesn't exist in Altomare, and there shouldn't be a way to create it?"

"He is the only person who can appear and disappear mysteriously, knows the legends and prophecies, is a craftsman, and even has the ability to handle these events!"

Ash and Pikachu simultaneously scratched their heads: "Well, although I didn't quite understand your reasoning, anyway, this flute was probably made by Mr. Moss, right? Just like Celebi's flute."

"If that's the case, I really should thank him properly next time I see him!"

"But there's another problem: I don't have any money on me. I hope he won't charge me. This thing must be very expensive."

Xiao Gang sighed, "It shouldn't be. Since it was given to Latios to find someone to play the flute, that means the flute is free."

Do you know who made the flute?

Mega Latios asked Ash and the others a question, but Misty waved her hand and said, "No, we're just guessing, it might not be correct."

"Where was Latios? Didn't he ask the other person's name in the dream?"

Latios was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame.

I really didn't ask that.

I was too anxious, and I couldn't even recognize all the other legendary Pokémon around me.

But now I know, it's called moss?
Next time, we should be able to meet again in our dreams, right?

Since we can enter the dream world, it means there are no barriers to entry there; we can just meet again next time.

[A craftsman who knows all the prophecies and legends, and can create the Flute of Infinity? How interesting.]

Mega Latios and Mega Latias exchanged a glance, both siblings from Hoenn deep in thought.

They started whispering among themselves.

Hoenn is facing immense danger, which is why we came to Johto with Yu. It's a problem only Rayquaza can solve. However, Rayquaza is hiding...
Human speculation is that Rayquaza expended enormous power in order to quell the conflict between Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, and it did not recover to its previous level for nearly two years. This caused it great unease, which is why it left Hoenn.

[If we could use the power of the mysterious craftsman, we might be able to find out why Rayquaza is hiding; we can no longer count on the Meteor Dwellers.]

The Hoenn Sky Arena, which may be held in the coming months, is also related to this.
In fact, if Rayquaza is found, then this competition will just be a grand event, a celebration!

If you can't find Rayquaza.

This competition is actually an invitation for Sky Trainers from various regions to participate in the search for Rayquaza!

The brother and sister nodded to each other, stopped whispering, and then turned to the siblings from Water City, as well as Ash and the others, and made a request:
If you ever see that craftsman again, please be sure to tell us his location.

It's not just related to Rayquaza.

Even among their own kind, the Flute of Infinity is a rare relic.

Perhaps we should ask that craftsman for help to recreate the Flute of Infinity and then bring it to our companions scattered throughout the world.

As long as the flute still exists.

No matter where you are or what dangers you encounter, you can always get help from your companions!

The Johto region is very peaceful, unlike the Hoenn region where there are fierce natural conflicts, so it's understandable that you are somewhat weaker.

This is Ho-Oh's land. As long as Ho-Oh exists here, he won't cause any major trouble.

As for the abnormal weather a while ago, and the incident in Lugia, that happened in Kanto, what does it have to do with Johto? Just cut ties.

[Now that the boy has obtained the Flute of Infinity, he has gained the power to summon us at any time. However, you can have him sign a contract with you, so that the flute's guidance will be directed towards you, instead of summoning all of us.]

Mega Latios looked at the bewildered Ash, but it thought the expression was quite interesting.

Just like the expression on Xiaoyou's face when she first set foot on the isolated southern island.

Moreover, Latias here seems to be very close to him, and is currently circling around him.

Young man, are you willing to make a contract with Latios and Latias? Especially since this isn't about subjugation, but a pact of mutual assistance.

"Huh? Me, with Latias?"

------

Dream world.

Lightmoss and a host of legends witnessed what happened in Odomare through the water mirror of Giratina.

When the contract was finally signed, Guangtai led the applause.

Ash finally had an improper relationship with Latias.

The two "people" died happily.

congratulations!

However, the constant chatter of the two Hoenn Succulents made Kozuki frown slightly.

"These two really are Xiaoyou's companions! So, the protagonist has come to the vicinity of the capital?"

"But why?"

"And you even mentioned Rayquaza?!"

The moss is a little hard to understand.

Through the water mirror.

Some conversations were hard to hear clearly, and the other party was using telepathy to whisper, making it even harder for the Lightmoss to know what they were saying.

Even through the water mirror, the amount of information I could read was quite limited.

Could it be a storyline related to the Buried Tower in HeartGold/SoulSilver?

But shouldn't it be triggered by the protagonist of Johto, Hibiki or Kotone? How could it be related to the protagonist of Hoenn, Yuu?

Forget it, I don't understand.
Let's go back to Padiyah and calm down for a while.

It's time to wake up from this dream!
