Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 478 Aibo! Let's go together!
[Defeated Gym Leader Grusha of Mt. Frostbite and Elite Four member Sinri! The Emerging Power has been enhanced!]

Your Pokémon's Effort Values ​​and Growth Rate have increased significantly!

The second battle also ended with Sister Xinli's "complete defeat," which Sister Xinli herself was quite helpless about.

Why did it turn out like this? For the first time, there is a team that can counter the Steel type, and a formidable opponent that can fight against each other.

Two happy things overlapped. But why did it turn out this way?

Xinli: "That giant Pokémon is too overpowered! What is it? Is it the ultimate ace?"

"While it's true that when competing against each other, we really need to give it our all."

"But you're pushing yourself too hard!"

Hikari: "Calling her an ace is not entirely accurate, but she is certainly one of our trump cards. The main reason we don't let her appear early is because Kaguya-sama is rather socially awkward."

"However, I was able to get through the black skyscraper thanks to her, you know. Isn't she amazing? That heavy, sturdy body and the ability to fly with steel are just too beautiful!"

That's the charm of numbers and attributes. How can a weight value not be considered a number?

The Steel Princess either possesses an extremely high special attack move and a bug-level Soul Heart power like Magearna, or she crushes her opponents with her weight like Kaguya the Ironfire!

"In faraway regions, she is known as Princess Kaguya, a Pokémon that appeared in ancient mythology!"

Listening to the enthusiastic explanation from the Lightmoy, and then looking at the socially awkward Pokémon that had retreated back into its ball after being labeled "Perfectly Ripe Mango," Xinli was momentarily speechless. She could only manage a helpless grin.

"Ha, another one associated with mythology? But if you really want to be precise, Gallade is also called the God of War in ancient stories."

"Sister Xinli, my strength is still not enough. I should have sent a Pokémon that can use Grass Knot. With such a heavy body, Grass Knot would have been enough for one hit, right?"

Xinli still has one Ground Pokémon that can use Grass Knot, and that is Torterra!

This is a Pokémon she only sends out when she's showing her true strength!
At the same time, she muttered to herself.

What does the mythical figure have to do with a perfectly ripe mango? Hmm, I don't get it.

She flicked her ponytail slightly, and her confident smile returned:

"Next time, next time I, Sister Xinli, will definitely win!"

"Yeah, if I take one down this time, I can take down at least two of you next time!"

Xin Li snapped her fingers, then lowered her "victory conditions" as she did so, and took a deep breath: "Phew! Much more refreshing. The chill of Frost Mountain can quickly calm you down."

"This is quite rare. A battle between the Four Heavenly Kings? I don't think this has ever happened before." Gurusha found it quite interesting, thinking he was witnessing a wondrous scene. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of unease.

Although Xinli had previously said that Guangtai was very strong, and she had personally experienced being completely sealed by a five-kill team, even the other members of the Four Heavenly Kings did not believe that they could completely defeat the opponent, but were satisfied with just taking down two of them?

This shows that Xinli's strength is slightly different from Guangtai's. Of course, the composition of the team is also an important reason.
In comparison, the other two "Four Heavenly Kings" are a listless, overworked office worker and a passionate, overtime-working individual who enjoys working two jobs despite possessing impressive artistic skills.

In terms of combat, only Xin Li is truly enthusiastic, and besides her, there's only Long Tianwang Bashuo. However, he's the kind of character who, no matter what he does, will be focused and deeply moved.

Of course, this is not to say that these two people are not strong.

Just the opposite
Even among the original three members of the Four Heavenly Kings lineup, Xin Li was indeed the weakest. She was the first interviewee in the champion test, and like herself, she was still in the exploratory stage in her field. Naturally, she was the first of the Four Heavenly Kings to be defeated in the test process.

Although Gurusha has not been the gym leader for long, he has already figured out the personalities and temperaments of the Elite Four, as well as some of their history.

After all, they come with Ye Ci every year for testing, sometimes as many as three to five times a year.

But once they have a champion-level team, they should send the kids who become champions over, right?
"Awkward. No, not at all."

However, I won't hold back. How far am I from winning the championship at my current level?
Let's continue to confirm this in the upcoming battles!

Xin Li: "It's so nice. It's rare to see such a peaceful night on Frostmoor Mountain. There's no sound of wind or snow, just a black, magnificent night sky full of twinkling stars."

"It's all thanks to the fire moth; it drove away the snow and wind in this area."

"Was that... a shooting star?"

"Speaking of which, I've been seeing shooting stars quite frequently lately."

Several people looked up at the shooting stars streaking across the beautiful night sky.

That direction is...
"The direction of Hoenn...?"

Because of the small meteorites brought by the super-giant meteorite, which continuously fall into the atmosphere, meteors can often be seen even in other regions.

However, despite this, there were quite a few meteors that could be seen in Parthia.

A shooting star seen after seven days and seven nights. A wishing star for seven nights?

Heh, it's not that long since Jirachi awakened, is it? The Silver Conference has already begun.

After Ash's trip to Johto ended, it was time for the Hoenn arc.

Padia is quite far from Hoenn, but the colossal meteorite brought not only the meteorite itself, but also a large cluster of asteroids.

However, due to the protection measures, those asteroids probably won't be able to invade this area unless they are actively pulled down by the meteor shower, but even then, their power would be limited.

Meteor showers are said to be very powerful, capable of summoning meteorites.

In the special episode, it was even commented on by Akari as "Meteor? Is that still a Pokémon move?", giving it such a strong evaluation.

But compared to a real meteorite cluster, it's still a drop in the ocean.

[Partner! You're in a bit of danger here.]

Deochis's voice reached the heart of the light moss.

The forbidden light has reappeared; the Prism Star is flashing. Something has captured the light emanating from the evolved Volcarona.

That powerful energy, transcending the distant universe and countless dimensions of spacetime, is currently conducting a search!

[Without a doubt, that thing is the "Necrozma" you once mentioned! However, I can sense a ferocious will and fluctuation within it, like a raging wind sweeping across the distant universe. Or perhaps, more than one!]

"Necrozma has its eyes on Volcarona's light?"

As Guangtai gazed at the distant shooting star, he muttered to himself.

This script doesn't seem right!

The light that Necrozma likes is probably—

Solgaleo, the beast that devours the sun.

Invite the Moon Beast. Lunayara.

They are known as legendary space Pokémon, representing the sun and moon. Although they do not possess any so-called powers, they are called that because the light they emit resembles the sun and moon.

This is also the origin of the folk saying that the sun god is afraid of fire and the moon god is afraid of ghosts, because they are not the real sun and moon gods.

But Necrozma is different!
It truly is a "glorious god"!
So, long ago, after its body was severed and a part of it was lost, it fell into a state of berserk rage and a thirst for light. Its targets were individuals with powerful light sources, and the world itself!

Specifically, the lower limit is that it should at least steal the spotlight from a region-level area.

The upper limit, in this case, is an entire large world.

"If you capture Solgaleo, which is like a lion, you will transform into the Twilight Mane Mane form."

"If you capture Lunayara, who is like a bat, she will transform into the eight-eyed bat form of Dawnwing."

"If this were to capture a Volcano Moth, what would it be called?"

"A butterfly of dawn? Wings of sunset?"

Seriously, does this little bug have such a high status that it could actually be favored by the God of Light?

Despite possessing the title of a god, it is actually just an ordinary Pokémon with a higher stat than others, not even a Pokémon that achieves greatness late in life.

Strictly speaking, Volcarona and Arcanine are on the same team; it's a pseudo-legend.

While it can certainly dispel the severe blizzard and illuminate the dark world, it is still not as bright as the Sun and Moon Beasts, is it?
"This guy really isn't picky about food anymore. Is it because no new Sun and Moon Beast has been born, so he's found a lower-level substitute?"

"However, in terms of time, it is impossible for it to travel through distant time and space to reach the Alola region of this world."

"However, according to the parallel universe theory, there are actually many Necrozma, meaning they have illuminated different worlds. After all, the sun and moon themselves are four worlds. Well, actually there are more than that."

"In the game, the members of the Ultimate Research Team also mentioned the 'world that is completely adjacent to Alola,' which actually refers to the 'reverse world.'"

Among Master Bao, that was even more extraordinary.

Shiny Necrozma is practically a must-have; everyone in my Alola region has one. I ask you, can you even claim to be the strongest regional fighter?

Xiao Yang and Mei Yue, one each! Just tell me, how prestigious is my Alola region's League?
Who dares to say this is a rural alliance?

Necrozma's army slapped him twice as hard!

What level are the champions from other regional leagues? Do you have any legendary Pokémon jumping around here?
In short, I first used my superpowers to shield Prism Star's power, which caused them to lose track of me.

Deoxys has the ability to find people with his mind, so he can also use his superpowers to block something, making it impossible for someone else with similar superpowers to find him.

So, while superpowers are a weak attribute in combat, they're incredibly powerful in everyday life.

This Prism Star seems to be echoing Necrozma's energy; in other words, it's regrouping the light source. Each time it's used, the attribute energy converges into light, seemingly igniting this fragment.

"This thing is a reward from the Tree of Connection. It was something that fell into the world of Connection a long time ago. Hmm, perhaps, this is a part of Necrozma's lost body."

"Necrozma is now nothing but a raging, dark wreckage that thirsts for light." "The Prism Star has the same shape as the Z-Crystal, which is the mineral formed from Necrozma's energy and light."

[Um, Z-Crystal? Although you've mentioned it several times, I've never seen one. Next time I enter the dream world, I'll see if the owner of Coconut Tree Island is there and ask him. I think seeing the real thing will help me understand these things better.]

[But I must say, when Prism Star emitted its light, and when Volcano Moth emitted its light, I felt that I myself had also grown.]

For life in our universe, light is an essential force. The representative attributes of light, in order, are superpowers, fire, electricity, and fairies.

"Aibo! Do you want to obtain more Star Power? This trip to Zone Zero might yield some results!"

【Aibo? Ah, it's a partner, but the voice I usually use to address you sounds a little different.】

"The meaning is the same, only the pronunciation is slightly different. Just think of it as an accent I specially tailored for you."

"When we enter Zone Zero together, the moment when we truly become light will arrive! That light is called Star Crystal!"

The Great Crater of Paldea is named after the crater, which means crater, crater, or impact crater.

However, as is well known, there are no volcanic features in the Padia crater, so the only meaning of this word is simple and clear!

Perhaps 200 million years ago, a giant meteorite struck this place, causing tectonic shifts. While bringing the power of the Star Crystal, it also wiped out the Ancient Turtle Pokémon. The surviving Ancient Turtle possessed the energy and light of the Star Crystal.

In the Void of Zero, you can also find items that are usually found in meteorite craters like the Giant's Cave or other places related to the universe, such as star sand and star fragments.

After the crystallization of the star Talebages, it looks like a star floating in the universe.

However, I am worried about something. The light energy from Prism Star comes from the distant universe, and even I have benefited from it.

So, did my kin, who was pushing the giant meteorite, also sense the power of light, and will it do something extraordinary because of it?

"Something beyond the norm... Oh, right, the Millennium Comet?"

Speaking of which, something might actually happen soon.

That means the Millennium Comet is coming back!
Jirachi's movie, "Wishing Star of the Seven Nights," follows immediately after the Water City Guardians arc!

The Millennium Comet is a giant comet that appears only once every thousand years in the Pokémon world. It can be observed for seven consecutive nights after it appears. Its power is closely related to Jirachi, and its energy is used to maintain the balance of the Pokémon world.

However, the Millennium Comet was too powerful; it was impossible for Deoxys to control it. Even if the alien with the giant meteorite was level 80, it couldn't do it even if it was level 180!
"At most, it absorbed the light from the millennium comet and raised its level to..."

level 100? !

Although level 100 is terrifying, it's not like I haven't seen a strong person of that level before.

Among the Gyarados in the nature reserve, the strongest is level 100, according to the game's perspective.

In reality, a level 100 Gyarados has no chance against a level 100 alien. One Thunder Punch and it's down; anyone who didn't know better would think it was faking an accident.

Or.
Will they create something like "Sky Monsters"?

I sense danger approaching the journey ahead. When we enter the perilous zone, let me fight.

Although it wasn't a trait that allowed him to foresee danger, Deoxys felt he absolutely had to have a proper talk with his celestial kin.

Before that, improving our strength is the top priority.

"Awooo!" A joyful voice came from the side!
It attracted the attention of several people!

Xin Li was quite surprised:

"Hey, that Dragonite is still here!"

This guy had shouted that his apprentice was there before rushing over from afar, and then silently watched the entire battle from the sidelines.

Judging from the expression of the fossil pterosaur next to him, this fat teacher in the wild was quite satisfied with the previous battle!
Therefore, it seems that it also watched the entire subsequent battle.

After all, it's a level 75 Bloodlust Pokémon. Could the axe on its head, made of crystalline steel, be from a real treasure?
Such a high level was not a gift from heaven, but rather earned by Fatty Teacher through hard work near Frostmog Mountain!
What a beautiful night, filled with shooting stars!

"Awooo!" The fat teacher let out a joyful sound!

Enjoying the beautiful scenery after the battle is over is a well-deserved reward!

Suddenly, Guangtai's eyes lit up: "This guy is amazing! Right, when I leave Padia, if someone challenges the League and I can't make it back, I'll have Dragonite fill in for me! After all, Crystal Steel is still steel!"

Xinli was speechless: "You, are you not planning to do any work at all?! The substitute Elite Four member of Paradis is a Dragonite?"

Gurusha held his head in his hands: "I don't feel anything. For example, my Whale is often mistaken for the gym leader by challengers. I send it to greet the students, and it always arrives at the battlefield early."

Xinli: "Hmm, speaking of which, I didn't see your walking whale today."

Gurusa chuckled: "We're not at the gym right now, so of course Whale is here guarding the gym."

At this moment, Dragonite gave Aerodactyl some instructions, seemingly teaching it moves and techniques, then glanced at the group and suddenly gave a thumbs-up and nodded.

"This guy agreed." Guangtai looked at the dumbfounded Xinli: "If the League needs more people, come find this Dragonite!"

"Well, Padia isn't a Dragonite without a job, is it?"

In the short animated film Dragon Express, there is a "super-fast messenger" in the Padia Post Office.

In just a few hours, you can traverse nine main regions, flying directly from Padia to the Kanto region across the sea, and even encountering a flashy enemy along the way.

Your Dragonite is good enough to be a mail carrier at the post office. Speaking of which, this fine tradition was started by Mewtwo.

Then let me ask you, why can't your Dragonite be one of the Elite Four?
Isn't level 75 strong enough? Even the four Elite Four in the first playthrough weren't that strong! Their average level was only around 50 to 60!
Xinli was taken aback and blurted out, "Huh? But Dragonite can't work overtime."

Guangtai suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot about that, it's illiterate and can't write."

The fat teacher taught the fossil pterosaur some secret moves, then flapped its wings and disappeared into the horizon. The pterosaur roared twice as a farewell to its cheap teacher, and then began to complain bitterly!
Damn it, this guy made my rock head charge at its crystal steel axe! Holy crap, is the rock attribute some kind of cardinal sin?!
Light Moss: "So it's a cane alien!"

Seven is truly everywhere.

After seven days and seven nights of training, the training came to an end. They recovered their strength at the Pokémon Center near the Frostmourne trail and then went to the Frostmourne Gym to rest for the night and exchange their battle experiences.

At the same time, they conducted a thorough study and wrote a report on the deceased monkeys.

This was Xinli's first time participating in writing this type of researcher's report, so she showed great enthusiasm and assisted Guangtai in making detailed records.

Lightmoss: "Regarding the investigation into Fist of Fury, the local climate and soil of different regions may have some influence on Pokémon learning certain moves."

"In some regions, due to different local conditions, the moves that Pokémon can learn during their growth may also differ."

Xin Li: "We believe."

"It is precisely because of this difference that even the same Pokémon can master different moves in different regions. This is a point that corroborates each other."

"Therefore, under the stimulation of the environment, a Pokémon that learns a completely new move may undergo a new evolution in a new environment!"

Lightmoss: "This kind of evolution may not be confirmed by the recently discovered evolution stones, because if one has not mastered a certain move in different environments, it can be considered that the conditions for evolution have not been met, and the cells and potential in their body have not yet been developed."

"Some techniques only appear in specific environments."

In Lightmoss's view, this perfectly explains why the elders of previous generations were always able to evolve after adding new moves. It's because different moves were created due to the influence of the local environment.

The environment has always been a very important setting in the Pokémon world. The earliest difference in Pokémon forms due to different environments can be traced back to a certain Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, namely Gastrodon.

Xin Li: "For example, taking the eastern and western parts of the Sinnoh region, which are divided by Mt. Coronet, as a control group, the Pokémon Gastrodon will show the difference between the East Sea and West Sea forms."

"This is a situation between regional and non-regional forms."

"Hmm, should my Earth King be the same example? Or different?"

Lightmoss: "Following this example, based on the existing research, in the distant past, Gastrodon's entire back was covered with a hard shell to protect its body, but now it is not. This is a strong piece of evidence that the changes in the environment have affected the Pokémon's appearance."

Thump, thump. Whoosh—

Outside the Frosty Mt. Gym, the Pokémon exchanged battle tips and shared delicious food.

The apprentice knight, the brave Tanjiro, swung his hammer, which spewed flames, and began to forge his shattered armor anew.

The fourth demon king is waiting for me!

When the second morning arrived, golden light shone across the earth.

From the summit of Shuangmo Mountain, a dark shadow flashed and flew towards the distant Guobalin Road.

------

Northwest of Table City, in the Padiya League.

Ye Ci looked at the printed report in her hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Professor Yew, please also add this newly discovered Pokémon to the Padina Pokédex."

"The scope of the collaboration has expanded to include new and important academic content. Congratulations!"

Dr. Yew carefully reviewed the survey report:
"That's a really brilliant point of view, and the investigation's conclusions are completely sound! No wonder it's Hikari-tei!"

"A new evolutionary form has been discovered! Uh, after completing the data collection and research, the data will be sent to Dr. Yamanashi."

“But, I mean, it seems like I’ve been working overtime for a long time?” The stack of documents in front of Dr. Yew was like a small mountain.

"I don't think I'm a PhD from your region, am I?"
