Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 452 Ancient Bamboo Slips: Historians record events truthfully, without altering a single word!
Many countless Pokémon flew in from the sea off the Johto region.

Just as in the legends, Latios and Latios's kin brought new Heart Drops, dispelling the evil and darkness that had attacked Odomare.

The azure treasure, reflecting a noble soul, was returned to the instrument in the secret garden.

"This light is so warm."

"Yes, this is the warmest light in the world."

"Please protect this city forever."

The children's sincere prayers were heard by the drops of water from their hearts.

It will take over from the broken previous droplet and begin its work.

Then the water in the garden began to flow again, and Odomare gradually returned to normal.

The phantom thieves were arrested by Officer Jenny and transferred to the Grand Prison.

When daylight arrives, the bells of the Great Cathedral ring.

The summer breeze swept through the streets and alleys, and brushed against the boats. After staying in Alto Marley for another day, Ash and his friends were about to embark on their journey again.

However, the boy wearing the hat had an extra valuable item in his hand.

That is the Flute of Infinity, which can summon Latios and Latias.

As they boarded the speedboat, Ash and his friends bid farewell to Mr. Bengrave. However, Canon, who was supposed to come and see them off, did not appear.

As the speedboat passed through the waterway, Ash saw the mysterious girl that Latias had transformed into once again.

She was waving at me, and it seemed she was holding a scroll in her hand.

So, at the port of Otomare, the speedboat stopped, and Ash arrived at the dock, watching the mysterious girl running towards him from afar.

So, is it Canon or Latias?

No, if he wasn't wearing a hat, it should be Latias.

Xiao Gang: "Even though we have the Infinity Flute, we still can't confirm the other party's identity?"

Xiao Zhi awkwardly scratched his head.

"Canon?"

But the mysterious girl smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

Then, on the shimmering beach, the light reflected on the water and illuminated the boys and girls.

That's what the mysterious girl was thinking.

However, although the seniors from Hoenn had already taught me how to use telepathy, I still hadn't been able to learn it before today.

But it doesn't matter, the Flute of Infinity is the bond that connects us.

Perhaps it was because of this flute that the ancient people of Hoenn established an unbreakable bond with our ancestors.

That's not the relationship between trainers and Pokémon.

We are friends.

A very, very good friend.

The mysterious girl handed the scroll in her hand to Ash.

Then, she gave him an angel's kiss.

As long as you still carry the Flute of Infinity, wherever you are, I will hear your call.

Summon me if you need me.

I will always wait for you.

As the girl's bright eyes turned slightly and she ran off into the distance, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang on the speedboat immediately showed surprised expressions, and even the Togepi they were holding fell onto their laps.

Pikachu, on the other hand, looked like it was enjoying the show.

Xiaoxia: "Was that Canon or Latias just now?"

Xiao Gang: "That's great! No, it should be Latias! She didn't say a single word!"

Pikachu tilted its head, revealing a comical, thoughtful expression, as if it were watching a melon seed.

However, Ash didn't react to this. He just stared blankly as the mysterious girl left, and then opened the scroll in his hand.

Then, upon seeing the painting above, a relieved smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"It's Latias."

"I think I can hear your voice."

It's an amazing feeling.

Latias probably hasn't learned telepathy yet.

However, for some reason, Ash was able to sense Latias's thoughts, just like...
Xiao Gang: "You said you heard Latias's voice?"

Ash: "Yeah, I remember now, it felt the same as when we were on the green grassland."

The boy wearing the hat did not yet know the true name of that power.

The talent of waveguide is about to awaken.

However, for some reason, Ash remembered some of the things his former companion Souji had said, and he felt the same way about the Pokémon he had seen named "Lucario".

Xiaoxia: "Besides that, don't you have any other feelings?"

Xiao Zhi was a little confused: "Other feelings?"

The three men and the pickup truck looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ash chuckled: "Right! The Silver Conference is coming up soon. How about we head to Hoenn after the conference?"

"The Hoenn region, where different Pokémon exist, is the home of Latios and Latias, right?"

------

[I've learned the legendary music: The Mysterious Girl/Canon.]

[Effect: Romantic atmosphere +100%, psychedelic atmosphere +100%, can create a wonderful psychedelic feeling for those listening to music, and can relieve life's pain.]

[I've learned the legendary music: Dream of Soaring Through the Skies.]

After the Water City Incident ended, a new legendary music was obtained.

This was something I hadn't expected.

Moreover, the effect of relieving pain should be very useful. Perhaps it can be used as background music in the dream world or the Dream Tower in the future.

As for "Dream of Soaring Through the Sky," it is a piece that corresponds to "Illusion of Soaring Through the Sky." The two pieces represent day and night, and their effects should be the same.

"The story of the Water City has come to an end. Now, let's tell our story."

Yesterday evening, Guangtai said goodbye to Kou Sha.

They left behind their paintings, made their hunting buoys, and led their companions back to the southwest corner of the first southern district!
This place has lakes, swamps, and broken cliffs, and it is here that one of the four calamities, the ancient Jianwo's sealed place, the Shrine of Rotten Wood, is located.

On the high mountain near this shrine, looking across the sea, you can vaguely see the peninsula where Little Key Town is located, the indistinct coastline and the beach, with the lighthouse near Little Key Town nearby.

However, most people cannot travel such a long distance to see Little Key Town.

Even with the pilot's eyesight as sharp as wind and dew, Lightmoss still needed a super telescope to see anything clearly at this distance.

"How is it, Tan-kun? How's your training going?"

Guangmo looked at the apprentice knights in her companion lineup.

"Click!"

Tan Xiaoshi looked at Yan Di, and then nodded to Guang Tai!

The training provided by Teacher Yandi was remarkably effective!

Although I haven't yet grasped the essence of the sacred fire, I already know how to make the flames burn even brighter!
Teacher Yan created the ashes of life, and after absorbing those ashes, I felt that the flames had become more powerful!
Therefore, I also learned a new move, "Big Flame Burst"!
"The essence of the sacred fire is to comprehend the life force contained within the flame. Although I also obtained this technique, I did not realize this until I studied it carefully."

Emperor Yan nodded slightly: "Charcoal Servant learns very quickly, as do the Burning Insects. My training plan is to conduct specialized training based on their respective survival habits and racial characteristics."

"For example, the Burning Insect, theoretically speaking, cannot learn to breathe fire or blue flames. However, there are always exceptions. As the Sun God, he has saved people suffering from severe cold in the past. Therefore, going to the volcanic region for training is perhaps the best option. Moreover, this volcanic region must also have cold air."

"The Sinnoh region you mentioned is a good location."

"And Charcoal Sprite is burning charcoal, so it naturally has some similarities to [Holy Ash]. I used my Holy Flame to burn some ashes of life. Although it cannot reach the power of Ho-Oh's Holy Ash, it can still help to enhance its flame energy."

"Therefore, if we want to learn the Sacred Flame, we also need to find the Ho-Oh's Sacred Ash. Perhaps there will be some clues in the tower in Enju City, or we can ask the real Entei."

Lightmoy was quite surprised: "Although you are actually teaching them illegal moves, the learning process is still quite feasible."

Emperor Yan grinned and said, "There's no such thing as legal or illegal. Many Pokémon in nature can master unique moves, which they learn under special conditions. Didn't you say that yourself?" "The Heatran we encountered in Unova couldn't use Fire Breath, but you said that a Heatran in a faraway region had learned that move."

“That makes sense.” Guangtai stroked his chin.

Just like in the story of the guardian deity of the water city.

Although Latias's sister doesn't have much fighting ability, she does possess a technique that the ordinary Latias cannot learn.

The final, gentle kiss for Ash.

Actually, it's a move called "Angel's Kiss".

Kiss your opponent as sweetly as an angel, thus confusing them.

Therefore, some people say that Ash became a wooden puppet after leaving Latias because Latias caused Ash to be confused for 255 turns.

Therefore, in special circumstances, if you want to learn a move, as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't learn!

"Alright! Since you're so confident, let's begin the challenge!"

Lightmoss affixed the Dimensional Ring to the lid of the Shrine of Decaying Wood.

A faint sound came from inside the shrine.

From within the lid, a pair of sickly, indifferent eyes opened.

"Gu Xi!"

A grass snail, its body resembling a mixture of withered leaves and mud, carrying a spiral bamboo scroll on its back, slowly crawled out of the interdimensional ring.

“Someone once recorded the king’s evil deeds on wooden slips and was punished for it. His hatred was wrapped in withered leaves and turned into ancient wooden slips.”

"It absorbs the energy of plants and trees, causing the surrounding forests to dry up instantly and crops to fail in the fields."

"The emotions represented by the ancient snail are very similar to those of the ancient sword leopard."

"The Ancient Sword Leopard represents the hatred of those who have lost their lives by the sword."

"The ancient snail represents the resentment that arises from suffering after being punished."

Guangtai introduced the new "Calamity BOSS" to his companions, but the Ancient Sword Leopard shook its head, revealing an innocent and cute expression, trying to play dumb and get away with it.

Just because we can use hatred to unleash a "major catastrophe" doesn't mean we ourselves possess the same emotions!

Look how well-behaved I am now as Hakimi! Meow!

The Ancient Sword Leopard's activities attracted the attention of the Ancient Slim Wo, which had just broken free from its seal. Its eyes looked like it hadn't woken up yet, glancing left and right, seemingly lacking in fighting spirit, but giving off a terrifying sense of indifference.

Meanwhile, the surrounding vegetation began to wither.

The power of the ancient snail was not shown in the game.

Centered on the body of the ancient snail, a circle is formed, and wherever it crawls, the land becomes barren.

Torterra and Miss Skirt stared intently at Ancient Snail, their eyes filled with curiosity!

They had long wanted to see this "demon king" from the "horror story," a Pokémon exclusively belonging to the Grass-type!

If those disobedient Grass-type Pokémon cause trouble everywhere, they will be frightened by the legendary craftsman!

If you don't behave, an ancient snail will crawl over and take you away!

"Gu Xi?"

Gu Jianwo noticed the two Grass-type Pokémon, and its eyes narrowed, making it look even more like a squinty-eyed creature.

The grass energy emanating from the Earth Tortoise and Miss Skirt was quite dense and powerful, and it even gave it a faint sense of fear. In fact, the Earth Tortoise's energy was completely opposite to its own, and its sacred aura seemed to be purifying it!
Why is the trunk of that tree pure white?

The colors of ordinary ground tortoises and tree trunks don't seem to be like this, do they?
The Ancient Slipper's true form is a bamboo slip. It is the scholar among the four calamities and the first Pokémon to awaken its consciousness. Therefore, it knows many secrets of different regions and has memorized many things through the merchants' talk and conversations.

"Oh, you're afraid of divine aura?"

Guangtai stroked his chin, noticing Gu Jianwo's timidity: "Little Wo, in that case, the power of the White Forest might have a miraculous effect on you, eliminating the power within you that causes plants to wither."

"While this power can be useful in certain situations, it's not good to unleash it indiscriminately."

"Your power is too great, so we must seal you away!"

The ancient sword leopard beside him blinked, then let out a leopard laugh!

Ha! None of the four of us can escape!
As the ancient snag sized up the moss, it sensed that the human before it was no ordinary being either, and couldn't help but secretly lament its predicament.

It's like escaping from the wolf's den and falling into the tiger's mouth!
The human before me doesn't seem much different from the tamer from a thousand years ago! Neither of them are normal humans.

and also
"Gu Xi?"

What is "Little Snail" called?!

How dare you insult me, a mere bamboo slip! I will surely write your name on the bamboo slips of hatred!
"Yo?"

The Aegislash went up to greet him as usual. And since the Ancient Sword Leopard remembered the Aegislash, the Ancient Sleeve naturally remembered him too.

After a brief examination, it confirmed the identity of the Aegislash!

Although its appearance has changed drastically, it is indeed one of the cheaper products from that previous batch.

It seems to be an ancient sword brought from some foreign country.

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Jianwo nodded.

You're the one who brought the tamer here! I've known you weren't any good for a thousand years. Selling you so cheaply, you must be a defective product!

The Shielded Swordsman was immediately enraged!
These four guys became incredibly arrogant after turning into Pokémon. They have terrible personalities and are so conceited!

I am the king!

"?"

The Ancient Slime Snail didn't understand what a king was. It looked at the Shielded Sword Monster with a surprised gaze, and then let out a low chuckle.

"Give me... what kind of evaluation?"

"Gu Xi! (He doesn't look like a ruler at all!)"

The Shielded Swordsman's eyes widened!

Okay, okay, when you're beaten to your knees, you'll definitely have to apologize to me!

“emmmm,” Guangtai pondered to herself.

"If swords, tripods, and jade are considered valuable, are bamboo slips valuable?"

"You should be the one who gets the freebie, right?"

After saying that sentence.

A long silence fell over the venue.

Gu Jianwo seems to have been provoked!

"Gu Xi?"

"Gu Xi!"

Bamboo and wooden slips are incredibly important! You underestimate the power of culture! The history and truth recorded on bamboo and wooden slips cannot be measured by money.
By learning from history, we can understand the rise and fall of nations!

Historians record events truthfully, without altering a single word!
You have insulted the thousands of years of history of bamboo slips, and you must apologize immediately!

"I said that on purpose."

Guangtai made no attempt to conceal his intentions, revealing that he was deliberately provoking Xiaowo, and at the same time, he analyzed Gujianwo's personality.

It means "frank".

However, his frankness was excessive, making him appear somewhat stubborn.

This also aligns with the practice of recording history on bamboo and wooden slips.

"You must be in great pain to have not recorded history for a thousand years."

"However, believe me, this pain will soon be over!"

"Go, Tan-chan!"

"Clang!" Charcoal Servant wielded his fire hammer and charged into battle!
Gu Jianwo looked at the Shielded Sword Monster and shook his head.

He then looked at the ancient sword leopard and uttered a question:
Leopard, why are you just staring! If you're being coerced by those Pokémon, blink!
Then the leopard lay down.

Gu Jianwo stared at the leopard for a long time before confirming one thing in disbelief!
Nie Ma, you surrender!

You have no backbone whatsoever, you coward, you coward!
I've already recorded it. Gu Jianbao killed his king. Sure enough, that's exactly how you are. You're all swagger when you can win, but you crouch down when you get beaten!

So he turned to look at Tan Xiaoshi who was going into battle. Even when facing the raging fire, the grass-type Gu Jianwo did not back down at all!
There is no reason why grass cannot overcome fire!
I'm determined to give it a try!
