Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 458 Higana's Doubts
As Daigo listened to the communication from the Lightmoss in the Pokédex, he fell into a long period of shock and silence.

After thinking for a while, Daigo replied incredulously:
"It's unbelievable. Although I know that orbs can carry the will of ancient Pokémon and sometimes choose their own masters, this is just too much of a coincidence!"

"If the grass-green orb is not found, this world will inevitably face a catastrophe."

“I know that the so-called gods of Sinnoh possess great power, but we don’t really understand them. Rayquaza is more familiar with them.”

"I will immediately gather manpower and get the Dragon-type trainers and the Meteor Dwellers moving. However, Meteor Shower is a very difficult move to master, and it requires [Summoning a Meteor Shower]?"

"Does Hoenn have someone capable of teaching the Meteor Shower technique?"

Daigo himself is not an expert on Dragon-type characters, so he doesn't know much about this.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Genji is a master of the Dragon attribute; however, Genji has never used Meteor Shower, so Daigo has never seen it either.

Daigo's memories are correct.

You're saying no one in Hoenn knows how to use Meteor Shower?

Hikari was taken aback: "[King Genji doesn't know that?]"

Daigo: "I haven't seen him use it, so I can't be sure, but Higanbana definitely wouldn't. It seems no one among the Meteor Dwellers knows this technique either."

"The Meteor People seem reluctant to discuss any techniques related to meteorites."

Lightmoss came up with an incredible "deliberate setting".

Actually, no one in the Hoenn region uses Meteor Shower.

All of Elite Four's Dragon-type Pokémon will only use Dragon Claw, Dragon Dive, and Dragon Pulse in game battles.

As a member of the Meteor Dwellers, and possessing the skills of a Heritage Trainer, Sidana's Dragon-type moveset is also the same!

Dragon Claw, Dragon Rush, Dragon Wave, three-piece set.

It didn't even have a dragon tail.

Interestingly, in Generation V, Chloe from the Johto region and Lance, the Johto champion, participated in the World Championships, and Meteor Shower was prominently featured in their Dragon-type Pokémon movesets!

In other words, it was intentional that all Dragon-type trainers in Hoenn did not give them the move Meteor Shower.

It's probably because "meteorites" are a taboo in Hoenn.

It's also possible that during the process of pulling the meteorite, it was already being shown off by the Sky Piercer as a snack.

However, there is one person who does know how, and that person is someone in Meteor Falls who should also be a member of the Meteor People, named "Ryuichi".

During the World Championships, in the Dragon-type Master Tournament, the Hoenn participant was not Genji, but Ryuichi. In the Ruby and Sapphire Remake, Ryuichi appeared at Meteor Falls, with the Trainer type being Dragon Trainer, and only had a level 47 Altaria.

In the Unova region, he expanded from having only one Altaria to "Salamander", "Reddra", "Kingdra", "Dragonite", and "Garuda".

And what's really interesting is...

In his team, only the Salamence from Hoenn has learned Meteor Shower!

Guangtai thought of something difficult!

"Could it be that Dragon-type Trainers in the Hoenn region only started learning the Meteor Shower move after the giant meteor was shattered?"

"You can see something from Long Yi's team changes! The World Championship was during the Black & White 2 era, which is two years later. There are still two and a half years to go."

"Because meteorites have caused many crises in Hoenn, this move was never passed down in Hoenn."

"However, in the game, there is still an old man who can teach this move. He should be located in the topmost house in Liuli City!"

That old man's trainer type is "Expert"!
This is the earliest trainer type to appear in the third generation of games. They are generally depicted as elderly people wearing kimonos.

They primarily use Fighting-type Pokémon, but in Emerald, they also use Pokémon of other types, such as Water and Flying.

In Ruri City, there is a master who is the only one who can teach the Meteor Shower technique, which hints at the setting that "Ruri City was created by a meteorite".

Guangtai: "How about we go ask in Liuli City? The Meteor People don't know it, but there might be someone among the Liuli People who can teach it."

"There is an old man in a house in Liuli City who controls the meteor shower, that should be true. Ask Mr. Mikuri and Mr. Adam."

"If we still can't find it, then we can ask the Dragon Granny and Cynthia from Sinnoh for help. Mr. Shaka from Unova is also a master of this move."

Although Cyndaquil's Garchomp doesn't carry Meteor Shower, but is the embodiment of Dragon Dive, at least in the setting that Garchomp does, and it even received special training in this aspect in the special episode.

Having a setting is better than having no setting, and besides, Cynthia isn't a dragon-type specialist.

Lightmoy: "Uh, although the person who taught the technique should have reminded me, I still want to say it in advance: there are two ways to release Meteor Shower, so don't learn the wrong one."

"Also, you need to send people to the Phile Shrine in the Phile region to bring back the ancient meteorite and capture a second Rayquaza as a potential Dragon Aspect! That one is much weaker than the Hoenn Dragon Aspect, so sending a Champion-class Dragon Aspect should not be a problem in terms of capturing it."

"But be careful to report to the Rangers' Alliance in advance, otherwise you may be mistaken for a poacher."

"Regarding the collection of meteorites, I believe that the commonly seen [Star Sand] and [Star Fragments], as well as the relatively rare [Comet Fragments], can also help Rayquaza's recovery. In particular, the comet fragments, which can be found in the Hoenn region, should be things that fell from the Millennium Comet."

"Southwest of Chimney Mountain, directly north of Furnace Town, there's a place called Farns. How about we go there and do some research?"

"The Sky Pillar of Hoenn, the Burial Tower of Johto, the Temple of Felre in Felre, and the Dragon's Nest in the Ironforge region, all related to Rayquaza."

"In the Sinnoh region, there might be a place called Rose Park. If this park doesn't exist, then there's no need to look for it."

"Besides that, there's the Parthian region where I live."

"As for the rest, please find them yourselves."

Although Rayquaza also exists in Ultra Dimension Zero, it's a Rayquaza from another world that can only be found by traveling through time and space, and it has nothing to do with this place.

As for the Padia Crater, it's not exactly a ruin, but in the game, if you bring Rayquaza's snacks, Rayquaza will appear near the crater. So it's not surprising that there might be ruins or ancient meteorites around the crater.

The cliff face in the northern part of the South 2nd District, Zone 0, is approximately level 70, and the crystal's attribute is Dragon.
"Isn't that the mountain behind the Pokémon League in Padia, which you can see from Emo Town?"

“There is indeed an unnamed ruin in that area.”

Lightmoss nodded.

The league has to make the trip anyway, and it's on the way, so it's fine.

So he said to Daigo:

"The matter of the Buried Tower can begin in a month. During this period, you can use other orbs for testing, but be sure to take precautions."

"When Rayquaza sits to rest, it releases a large amount of ozone around it. Humans cannot breathe in ozone. Rayquaza uses this ozone to restore its energy. Do not disturb it."

"You can take this opportunity to learn a little about the latest mythology researched in the Sinnoh region. If you don't understand anything, just ask Cynthia. Just say that I sent you there."

Because Cynthia had told her not to reveal the existence of Sinnoh so easily, it's highly likely that Cynthia has temporarily omitted this part of the content and will not release it.

To learn about the legend of the Sinnoh Grandmaster, aside from Mijina and a few others, the only way is through "rumors." After all, even Team Galactic is pursuing it; if you were to release it on the spot, Boss Red Sun would say he'd just download it online and wouldn't need to gather any information at all.

Is this Sinnoh champion a mole?

After finishing her conversation with Daigo, Hikari blinked and noticed someone tugging at her trouser leg. Looking down, she saw it was Tanjiro.

"Click!"

The trainee knight's eyes sparkled, as if he were anticipating something.

"correct!"

Guangtai quickly took out a medal from her person and handed it to Tan Xiaoshi with a smile:
"Almost forgot!"

"Here, I award you the medal for defeating the ancient snail!"

--------

Hoenn region, center of the Green Mist universe.

“You heard what he said, Higana, didn’t you?”

"This person is the most knowledgeable and mysterious among all the people I know, and according to you, he should indeed be a member of the Shinigami people? In short, he should be a descendant of a certain ethnic group related to the Shinigami region."

Steven rubbed his forehead: "Ancient Pokémon use orbs to convey their will, but I never expected there to be an unknown orb."

Wearing a cloak and sporting short black hair, Higana looked quite puzzled, her brows furrowed.

"Did the Dragon God's Mega Evolution organ get damaged, which is why he left Hoenn?"

"But how could that be about the precious pearl?"

"The Dragon God has been worshipped by the Meteor People for thousands of years! If the Dragon God also possesses a precious pearl, there's no way we wouldn't know about it!"

"Furthermore, the Dragon God has never made any pacts with outsiders, nor could he possibly pass on his will to anyone else! The only ones who can truly confide in the Dragon God are the inheritors among the Meteor People, aren't they?"

"The Dragon God can only appear at the Dragon Summoning Altar on the Pillar of the Sky!"

"And what is the legend of Sinnoh?"

"Isn't it suspicious to come up with a concept of blessing just because you believe in the myths of another region?"

"Why should the dangers of Hoenn be resolved by legendary gods from other regions?"

"I can't immediately believe something that's completely unknown because I've never heard of this part before."

"And there's the search for another Rayquaza. Does the Dragon God believe it will lose this battle?"

"Elder, what do you think?"

After working with Daigo for a while, Higana's tone towards the "Champion" wasn't as harsh as it had been at the beginning. However, she was still filled with strong doubts about the information that Hikari had thrown out in the communications.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only one among the Meteor People located at the center of the Green Ridge Universe.

An elder from the Meteor Dwellers is also here, and this elder is also Higana's grandmother.

Higana: "You said that the so-called divine beings are people who know everything, but I can't easily trust such people of unknown origin."

"That guy knows everything I said to Daigo. This has absolutely nothing to do with [Knowing the Legend] anymore, right? That guy must have installed surveillance devices here!"

But seeing the curiosity in Higana's eyes despite her wariness, the elder chuckled.

"Knowing too much is also a deep-seated fear."

"However, there shouldn't be any surveillance devices or anything like that. Although I don't know how he knew what you said, perhaps he saw it from time?"

"In the distant Sinnoh region, there are legendary Pokémon said to possess the power to manipulate time and space. The same legend exists in the Johto region."

"The original meaning of Sinnoh is a legendary god, but its relationship with our dragon god is unknown."

Daigo: "I will go to Sinnoh to investigate and inquire. I can find out by asking the champion there."

Higana: "Is it really a good thing to believe in so-called divine intervention?"

Elder: "They are a very mysterious group of people, and the god they worship seems to have tremendous power. It is said that the god descended from the sky and became a source of light to illuminate the whole world."

"But that's all I know."

"In any case, the meteorite changed its trajectory, which is a real result, and the whereabouts of Lord Dragon God are now clear."

"The Dragon God's power is insufficient; we must set out to restore the Dragon God's power."

"Higana, you will go to Liuli City and find someone who can teach you [Meteor Shower]."

"As for the other Meteor People, I will have them search for the remaining ruins in various regions, just according to the locations mentioned by that Divine Harmony Person."

"Hey~! I also want to do my part for Lord Dragon God!" Higana quickly said, "Let me go to the Fire region!"

"It's still uncertain whether the old man who taught about meteor showers in Liuli City really exists, right? That's just a conjecture from that Shenhe people!"

"Besides, even if we find it, wouldn't it be completely useless if it's not the first type of meteor shower?"

Meanwhile, another elegant gentleman, who was leaning against the wall and listening quietly in the center of the universe, showed a look of great interest in Xijiana's words.

This man is Michael.

"There are people among the people of the Glass who control the Meteor Shower, I didn't even know that."

"Then let me go and find it. As for dragons, Elite Four member, could you lend me a Dragon-type Pokémon?"

Many people have gathered at the Green Ridge Universe Center, including not only Michael, but also Genji, one of the Hoenn Elite Four.

"Phew, you're never too old to learn, right? I really want my Pokémon to learn the strongest Dragon-type move. And I've heard that the Meteor Shower move is only passed down among a few powerful Dragon Masters."

"I'll lend you my Salamence."

Then, Genji walked up to the group and answered:

"In addition to the aforementioned relics related to Rayquaza, I can also provide a new clue about a relic."

"That was a continent I stumbled upon while sailing at sea."

"On that continent, many ancient ruins remain, among which there is said to be a tall tower used to enshrine Rayquaza, called the Tower of Infinity."

“Long ago, along with that tower, there was a country called the Kingdom of the Divine Dragon.”
