Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 477 The Sword of Promised Victory!

"."

An eerie silence fell over the scene. Finally, it was Lightmoss who broke the oppressive atmosphere:

"Alright, forgive us, this is the last time. For you, this is also a battle of evolution!"

"Fight us like this, and keep raging! The Fist of Wrath will grow stronger as the battle progresses and you take more hits!"

Xinli shrugged helplessly, then listened to Guangtai's words, appearing thoughtful. Finally, she grinned, as if she had just thought of something.

She quickly walked to her fighting position, seemingly eager to begin.

"Gurusha, I'd like to trouble you to be the referee."

The Incineroar was eager to try, while the Corviknight flapped its wings and was frightened when it noticed the Lightmoss's gaze sweeping over it.

Hmm. How could this human have such a master blacksmith-like gaze? It really frightened the crow.

Xinli glanced at Corviknight and pressed Guangtai for details, "Are you interested in Corviknight?"

Lightmoss said with great interest: "I just really like the feathers of these Pokémon, Corviknight and Skarmory. They are rare materials for steel!"

Xinli flicked her bangs: "So, how about this: however many feathers you can knock off in this battle, they're all yours?"

"And it seems you're quite interested in these three new creatures I've captured! Then let's battle right away!"

"You've discovered a new evolution and can write a new academic paper, not bad! The Commander-in-Chief will definitely be very happy, right? Well then, you'll have to write this report yourself!"

"Remember Infernape's punches well!"

The battle began swiftly!

"Click!"

Of course, the one who will face off against the fiery monkey is none other than Samurai Charcoal King!

For a brave person, defeating a powerful enemy once is nothing to fear, and the second time is equally feasible!
Gallade, which was originally captured as the main attraction and was even ready to show its prowess, could only watch helplessly as the Magma Monkey, who went berserk on the field, and the Charizard, who was engulfed in flames and wielding a hammer, fought for four rounds.

Hey, shouldn't it be the scene where I make a dashing entrance and, with the elegant cooperation of my trainer, take down the opponent's first kill?

Looking at the Pokémon opposite, there's one that looks so much like me! It's like we're sworn enemies! But what exactly is it? Is it an evolution of another form, or just another form of Gardevoir?
Just as Gallade was pondering, a scorching heat wave startled it, causing it to abruptly raise its hand!
On the battlefield, Infernape unleashed its fifth Rage Punch, bringing its count to 20! As a result, its body underwent a change!
Xin Li: "Now that we have the characteristics and descriptions of the moves, there's no reason not to use them!"

Amidst the intense light, an overwhelming rage, carrying the power to shatter everything, surged forth!

"Is that... the rage point?" Gurusha watched from the side, muttering to himself, "First, let yourself get hit in a vital spot, raise your attack to maximum, and then evolve, that way..."

"Once again!" Xinli stretched out her hand: "Fist of Wrath!"

The Fist of Rage has a base power of 50. Each time the attack is hit during the battle, the power of the move increases by an additional 50.

In the previous battle, Infernape withstood four attacks from Samurai, and the power of its Rage Punch had reached 250!

"The Light of Evolution." Xinli's emotions reached their peak. After all, watching her companions evolve in battle was an incredibly exhilarating experience!

However, the light moss removed the crystal bead.

Normally, after a battle is crystallized, the crystal energy inside the bead will be depleted, rendering the crystal bead unusable.

However, the Crystal Beads can be used again by touching crystals overflowing with Crystal Energy or by charging them at Pokémon Centers.

In the Padiya region, large crystals that emerge from the ground are almost everywhere.

The power of Taijing has been replenished!

A dazzling crystal chandelier, representing flames, bursts forth with brilliance!

"Taijinghuo's Charcoal Servant, next, I'll show you a forbidden tactic!"

"Sunny day!"

The sun shone on the earth again, and the power of the flames increased!
The furious fist, enveloped in the light of evolution and with a maximum attack power of +6, is already upon us!

The little hero also unleashed flames from his entire body, maximizing the power of fire!

A blinding flash of light erupted from Tan Xiaoshi's body!
"Use burnout!"

He bursts into flames, inflicting massive damage on his opponent!

Under the effect of Taijing Fire, the fire attribute will not disappear due to the side effects of the move!
The ghost's furious fist collided with the flames' charge, and after the smoke and dust cleared, the hammer flew out of his hand!

The little hero was sent flying, crashing to the ground with a thud. His armor shattered into pieces, and the flames on his headdress began to fade.

The fire is almost out
The flames of the hero were no match for the fists of his defeated foe.

Xin Li was somewhat proud at this moment:

"Although it's a bit risky, I had this idea in my mind when you said that Infernape's new move is to get stronger the more damage it takes."

"Use the special 'Angry Point' to actively expose your vitals, and then complete a new evolution!"

She twirled her ponytail, clearly in a good mood:

"Although it's a tactic that can only be used once, it's still quite effective, isn't it?"

"Admittedly, I don't know what that move, which is wrapped in raging flames, is. It looks like Flame Charge but it isn't, and I've never heard of the name Burnout before. But no matter what, even if it's a power-up of Sunny Day and Crystal Fire..."

"There's no way they could beat that strongest punch!"

Just as Xinli had thought, Primeape not only evolved, but also redeemed itself by defeating the hero who had once defeated it!
The accumulation along the way is not all of it.
Wood. Wood big?

The abandoned monkey was furious, roaring triumphantly, when suddenly its body stiffened.

A ghostly aura emanated from the little hero, and that soul-stealing hand instantly stripped the life force of the abandoned monkey!
Then, the gray-furred, perpetually angry abandoned monkey collapsed with a thud!

"Charcoal Servant and Abandoned Monkey are both unable to fight."

Gurusha waved his hand, and Xinli realized the problem, immediately annoyed: "Oh no, we're in the same boat!"

"I got too carried away!"

It's true that a three-stage evolution could easily defeat a one-stage evolution, but in the end, it was taken down by a fellow Destiny Child. What a huge loss!
So, Xinli immediately recalled the Abandoned Monkey and whispered, "We were so close to a complete victory! Losing isn't your fault; it's because I, as the trainer, wasn't focused!"

"Let's get to know each other better later, you abandoned monkey! Should I learn a couple of jiu-jitsu moves too?"

"Alright, let's go for the second one, Gallade!"

After standing aside for a long time, contemplating and observing the Iron Warrior, Gallade finally had her chance to go into battle.

Now is the time for it to show its true colors, Gallade thought!

As the Knight of Justice, shouldn't I be the protagonist of this battle? But Monkey King stole the spotlight. As the leader of my three companions, I must put in my best effort.
Hmm, so the Pokémon on the other side really is the one that looks a lot like me, and also like Gardevoir!

Xinli said, puzzled, "I've been concerned about that Pokémon called Iron Warrior for a while now; it gives me a really strange feeling."

Guangtai smiled: "Would you be surprised if I told you she came from the future?"

"I know that Gallade is known as the God of War and is a Pokémon that places great importance on etiquette. It can keenly sense when someone is asking for help and will rush to their aid."

"When protecting someone they trust, they will extend their elbows, making them as sharp as a blade, and then engage in fierce combat with their opponent."

"Compared to elbows as blades, our elbows are genuine light-energy blades!"

[Entering battle, target Gallade. It's the same Pokémon we've seen before.]
[I am the strongest Psychic Pokémon, inheriting your genes, therefore I will not let my trainer down!]
[Unleash your light blade!]
"Elu?"

Gallade suddenly felt a little scared. It sensed a strong emotion from the Iron Warrior in front of it!

This caused the red organs on its chest to start flashing and become brighter and brighter!

As the evolved form of Kirlia, it also has a red organ, which, like Gardevoir, has the ability to keenly sense the opponent's thoughts!

The desire to win, to bring victory to another trainer, is so intense!
Then, light blades appeared on the hands of the steel girl!
A duel of slashing attacks? Interesting!
Gallade was thinking this! And Moss was thinking the same thing.

The Gallade in front of me is the Gallade from Generation IX.

Just like how one's own unruly apprentices benefited from the fact that the version was not yet implemented.

Gallade in Generation IX differs slightly from Gallade in other regions, primarily in its ability.
One of the strongest traits, "Sharpness," has been added!
Pokémon with this ability will have their cutting moves powered up by 50%!

Lightmoss: "Observe Gallade, record its fighting style, and then try to copy it."

"Perhaps I can also add a new [Sharpness] trait to you."

"There must be many methods for forging swords now, right?"

"The five legendary swords are: 'Shengxie,' the sword of calamity representing Seraphim; 'Lake Sword,' the sword of decay representing Zacian; 'Eternity,' the strange sword representing reflection; 'Keldio,' the mysterious sword after Keldeo's awakening; and 'Ancient Divine Sword,' used to hunt Pokémon!"

"By studying their manufacturing methods, we might be able to create something amazing!"

"Yes, we need to try forging these swords, slowly, until they are all completed."

Sharpness! This ability, unattainable by many slashing Pokémon, is possessed by only four Pokémon. Two of them are ancient Pokémon, practically nonexistent in the modern era!
In other words, excluding Mr. Cod who runs around in rivers like a mad dog, Gallade is the only Pokémon with the Sharpness ability on land!
"Alureduo!"

"Iron Warrior!"

Both sides shouted in unison: "Use Sword Dance!"

Xin Li: "After the sword dance comes the slash! Unleash [Mental Blade]!"

Lightmoss: "Our strongest Psychic Pokémon doesn't have the Psychic type and is twice as weak to Psychic; however, the enemy's Psychic Pokémon is also twice as weak to Fairy."

"After the sword dance, unleash the ultimate moves you've learned!"

"Penetrating Scroll: Magic Burst!"

"Hmm, the fairy's charging sword... how about giving it a nickname, Ex-calibur?!"

The fairy's radiance exploded above the snow-capped mountain!
Intense light gathered on the blade, and a fairy aura, like a storm, swept around it!

Props, driving force energy!
Special Feature: Quark Charging!
[Attack power increased by 30%!]
When carrying driving energy or in an electrical field, the highest value of the ability will be increased!
As a futuristic creation of Iron Warrior, you can freely choose to enhance your abilities in attack, special attack, and speed!

The light blade was as if it were cast in gold, shimmering like it was inlaid with gemstones, and its sharpness was so great that it could cut through iron like mud.
It is known as the Sword That Cuts Steel!

The attribute bonus is 1.5x, Quark Charge is increased by 1.3x, and the base power of Magic Rush is 100, which means...
Now, it is the "Excalibur" with a power of 195!
The spiritual blade that slashed towards them was completely engulfed by the pink fairy light, and along with the fairy's energy wave, it turned into a storm that condensed on the light blade!
While Magic Rush is powerful, its additional effects conflict with "Misty Field".

Therefore, when you decide to defeat the enemy in one blow, you cannot use the Fairy-attribute "Domain Deployment"!
However, Misty Terrain is the only terrain move that does not increase the power of a move.

So if the goal is to increase power, it would be better to create an electrical field and trigger quark charging!
Of the three physical moves available to Fairy-type characters, Magic Rush, which cannot be learned through normal means, is the most powerful move!
Gallade was marked with the marks of the light blade strike. Its body stiffened, and its mind went blank.

It defeated Gallade in one hit!

He was known as a noble knight, a so-called god of war.
He was defeated by another fairy god of war!
Lightmoy: "In mythology, fairies and knights are always a topic of great interest."

"It is said that a fairy Pokémon obtained a king's sword from the king on the shore of a shimmering lake that shimmered with a faint light. Its slashes could even bring down evil dragons that roamed the dark universe."

After the fairy's aura dissipated, something seemed to be being calculated in the pixelated eyes of the Iron Warrior.

Here at the Light Moss, a new clue was obtained.

During the clash of psychic sword techniques with Gallade, Iron Warrior learned a new style of slashing through calculation.

[Learned "Solemn Sword" from Gallade's "Spiral Slash" swordsmanship style! When facing Future-type Pokémon, or other Future-type Pokémon in the team, the move's base power is increased by 100 points!]

It is said that Gallade fights using its retractable elbow blades and is a master of Iaijutsu.

The blade extending from the elbow is even sharper than a famous sword, and the swordsmanship he uses is unique, with an exquisite skill that is truly astonishing.

The swordsmanship he used was unique and distinctive!
Iron Warrior, who inherited the genes of Gallade and Gardevoir, naturally also has his own style of swordsmanship!
"Gallide was defeated in one strike!"

Xinli originally had a winning plan in mind. This Gallade was very strong, so with a little nurturing and guidance, plus training, it could quickly become a powerful fighting force.

Among the wild Pokémon in the Padilla region, many are incredibly strong, and those that can survive in this environment are all the best of their kind!

But they still lost!
"Broken steel sword, magical burst, what kind of moves are those? But the fairy attribute was discovered too late, so it's normal that there are special moves we haven't seen before."

"I see, that guy is a fairy. It looked like a steel-type, but it was a classic misleading statement."

"Oh, Corviknight, you're the last one left. Show the power of the Sky Shield!"

Although Xin Li was somewhat annoyed, she had nothing to say since she had been defeated in a head-on confrontation. She could only conclude that there was still a gap in strength between the two martial gods.

The power of fairies overwhelmed the power of superpowers, nothing more!

"Cuck!"

The Steelraven flapped its wings and flew into the battle arena!

Call upon Galarian Vice-General Corviknight to come out and give a speech!

With one of only three Steel/Flying types in the entire Pokédex, Corviknight's invincible status is established! From an ecological perspective, only Greatsmith has the right to speak, but in actual battles, Thor is really a little sister!
"Quah!"

Then Old Steel-Armored Raven of Padia would ask: "I have double steel resistance, so how much damage can your 160 Mighty Hammer actually do, even though it looks intimidating?"
What gives you the right to swagger around here, a Steel/Fairy type Pokémon with a mere 75 Attack stat?

Didn't you want to pluck my feathers to make a forging hammer?

I, Old Crow, will tell you.

Feathers are out of the question, but as for my life, it's already been with the Lady Crown King for countless times during the Dark Night era!
Lightmoy: "Steel-Flying is not only not weak in Fighting, but also has a super high and many resistances, making it one of the best combinations of all attributes."

Upon hearing Guangtai's words, Xinli immediately felt uneasy and quickly said, "Wait a minute! Even though it's a second battle, you can't just not bring out any Steel-type characters!"

"Doesn't this make my team look like a waste of time?" Xin Li gritted her teeth. Of course, she didn't send any ground-type characters either. But, what else could she do?

Who told there wasn't a Scorpio King here!

Guangtai pulled out a strange ball labeled "Perfectly Ripe Mango":

"In that case, I'll send out a Steel-type Pokémon you haven't seen before. It just so happens that I also have a Pokémon of the same type?"

"Kaguya, let's begin our long-awaited battle!"

Alright! Pokémon battles... I'm already familiar with Pokémon battles! But they're still a little scary!

Its enormous body crashed onto the battlefield, casting a large shadow in the night. The eyes of the Steel Raven that was flying in the sky immediately widened in shock.

Wait, what's that in front of me? Is it a mountain?
Xinli was shocked: "Hey! What is that? It's huge! Is it a building or a rocket?"

Gurusha was utterly shocked: "...A Pokémon even bigger than a whale?"

The Ironfire Celestial of the Lightmoss is an underdeveloped individual; after all, it's timid, can eat a lot but dares not digest, making it a little lonely figure in the Treasure World. Even so, it still reached a height of over 6 meters!

She really is that kind of thing, extremely huge!
The Steel Crow, with an average height of 2.2 meters, looks like an underdeveloped child in front of the Ironfire Kaguya!
Lightmoy pondered, "So here's the question: what is the weight of Corviknight?"

Xinli sensed something was wrong: "Uh, the average weight is about 75 kilograms?"

Guangtai nodded, his gaze sharpening.
"My Kaguya-sama is a 999-kilogram, and there's no limit to how heavyweight a beauty she is!"

"Kaguya, let's make our move!"

"Use [Heavy Impact]!"

The impact, carrying intense steel-attribute energy, roared down from the sky. Tetsuka Kaguya slammed the launcher forward, charging forward along with it!
Yes, I'm sorry!

As she said this, she blasted the massive Corviknight into crashing!
Deep, heavy craters had appeared in the ground on the west side of Frost Mountain, so much so that it took Xin Li a while to come to her senses. She suddenly covered her forehead, staring in shock at the "Iron Lady" before her:
"What are you doing!"

"Such a huge thing, and...and they actually call it a Pokémon!"
