Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 505 Ironhead: So I'm Optimus Prime!

Twelve giant saltstone spirits led the way, driving away the ordinary Pokémon.

The Gibles and Deinos panicked and scattered in all directions upon seeing this group of mobile natural disasters.

Meanwhile, the crystalline flowers facing the wall by the roadside only had question marks above their heads, but did nothing. They just kept spinning around, watching the moss and the others go down.

However, the moss heard the thoughts of a crystal flower:
"The battle below has just ended. There's a building that's been taken over by mechanical Pokémon, which have separated the upper and lower levels."

"The fourth observatory?"

In the original storyline, the fourth observation station was abandoned due to an explosion. Although the fourth lock was still in operation, the interior of the observation station was filled with traces of erosion by the crystals of the Taijing.

The explosion at the observation station was caused by the second ferocious Guleton, one of the "Guardian Dragons of Paradise"!

"Hiss, looking closely, there are densely packed paradoxical species below. There are flapping wings everywhere in mid-air, and at the bottom there is a bunch of Pokémon that look like Poké Balls, but are actually completely different."

"Is it a Vicious Mushroom?"

Among the ancient Paradox species, the Mighty Mushroom is positioned as a grunt and legion soldier, because in the story, after the research lab gates are opened, it's the only one that emerges in the largest numbers. Furthermore, it's described by Piper as "a seemingly weak fellow."

However, in the purple version of the world, the mass-produced grunts that emerge are Iron Arms.

However, in the storyline, you call Iron Arm a grunt, and it doesn't care about your opinion.

Once you're ready to fight in the Crystal Pit and battle in the game, look at its high-five attack, absorb punch, and belly drum. What should you call it?
The God of Pit Breaker!

While Aghanim's Scepter appears to be a superior variant to Mushroom, it is actually not as powerful as Mushroom in battles. One major reason for this is its Grass/Dark typing, which is a significant drawback compared to Aegislash's Grass/Poison typing.

Both are Grass/Dark type Pokémon. Just look at Gryphon, one of the Four Great Treasures of Calamity, but it was sealed in the grasslands.

Any random Kamen Rider, the Fierce Leg Hopper, could easily kick Gu Jianwo half to death with a powerful flying kick. This is the inferiority complex brought about by the Grass Evil Fourfold Weakness Bug.

The same predicament is faced by the Mighty Shroom, which has lost the "Regeneration" ability that the Shield Shroom is proud of, and in return has the common Ancient Activity, which is completely useless.

So, while Pipa isn't good at fighting, his "mushroom-reading" is still very accurate!

This guy is basically a regular soldier from ancient times!

Guangtai looked at Pai and asked, "Do you think those guys down there that look like Poké Balls are strong?"

Piper crossed his arms, tilted his head, and gazed behind the Salt Giant and the Mastiff Godfather:
"It feels really strange, like a *Vibrio vulgaris*. But *Vibrio vulgaris* doesn't seem to have any spines on its head, and it's not this big either."

"However, with so many of them, they probably aren't any Pokémon that are individually very strong. No, that might not be the case."

Piper couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when he thought of those magnificent teeth.

The moss also shook its head.

Majestic teeth do indeed appear in groups, but this is an exception.

After all, its prototype is the mammoth, and elephants are animals that have both extremely high individual combat power and like to travel in herds.

Piper pointed downwards: "Brother, I see that building. That should be the Fourth Observatory? By the way, this place is so beautiful, it's like paradise! It's so much more beautiful than outside!"

"But those mushroom monsters, and some strange things floating in the sky, are attacking the observation station. They seem to be fighting against mechanical robots!"

"Uh, it seems there's something else mixed in nearby!"

"Your eyesight is indeed quite good." Lightmoy praised Pipa, after all, Pipa will be able to find the Pokémon's Trainer with the protagonist in the future, and as a Pokémon player, this level of eyesight is acceptable!
A characteristic inherent to Pokémon players – sharp eyes!
It refers to the ability to quickly spot an inconspicuous shiny Pokémon among a group of Pokémon, no matter how far apart they are!

"Those are Vicious Mushrooms, which should have been featured in a paranormal magazine. They combine the characteristics of dinosaurs and Exposed Mushrooms, making them very peculiar creatures. Their bodies are much larger than the usual Exposed Mushrooms, but they seem to have lower intelligence and are ferocious, attacking relentlessly like boxers."

The salt lords marched forward with a thud, while the salt stone giants of Pipa lent a helping hand along the way.

Because the Salt Stone Giants are in the lower districts, almost on every road, the Salt Stone Giants of Pipa began their lobbying efforts.

Driven by the idea that "if there's a fight, I have to lend a hand," the bored Saltstone Giants began to actively join in the giants' rumbling!

The original lineup of 12+1 gradually expanded to more than 20, and the rumbling trampling sound made the surrounding Pokémon run away even faster.

Guangtai looked around again.

Two-Headed Tyrannosaurus, One-Headed Deino, Gible, Garchomp, Dragapult, Dragapult.
By the way, after entering the lower and bottom levels of Zone Zero, for some reason, these pseudo-legendary Pokémon started running around everywhere.

It is a Pokémon that is rarely seen in all other regions.

Within Zone Zero, however, they sprang up in droves, as if they were overflowing!
"The soil in Sector Zero appears barren in the lower layers, yet it has nurtured so many pseudo-legendary Pokémon. That being said, the appearance of the Dragapult family might confirm something."

"It is said that the dragons once lived in the ancient sea, but died and were reborn as they are now due to environmental changes."

The soil samples were collected and taken from the upper, middle, and now lower layers of the soil.

This soil can not only be used as bullets for the E-Shot to create a field that calms Pokémon's anger, but it is also an indispensable part of the process of creating the important "ecological core".

In terms of fertility alone, the soil in Zone 0 is indeed the most unique. The soil in each region is certainly subtly different.

The Ferocious Mushrooms, who are besieging the Fourth Observatory and battling the future Pokémon, have gathered together like a red and green tide.

They were also taken aback when they saw the white giants rumbling down from the upper area!
These giant saltstone Pokémon usually just stand there, dazed, or sleeping. They only eat minerals and are not the prey that the ancient Pokémon like, so they usually don't pay any attention to these background Pokémon that are like NPCs.

But now, these creatures have formed a terrifying legion! The Saltstone Giants, who never move in large numbers, have begun to stir!

"Fighting has broken out! Fighting has broken out down there!"

Piper watched in shock as the fierce battle raged near the Fourth Observatory; in fact, Lightmoss was also quite surprised.

Although the coexistence of the ancient and the future has actually appeared in the Horizon series and Pokémon specials.

It's quite normal for two versions to be merged. In fact, aside from the games, everything else is a fusion of two versions, with one version as the main body and Pokémon from the other version as the main element.

The fact that the game has two versions is a long-standing tradition in the Pokémon series. Selling two copies is a matter of tradition and cannot be changed!
"A big melee, but it's alright. With the Salt Stone Giant Legion, we still have the advantage."

"Twenty-two at once, Rock Blast!"

Launch hard rocks at the opponent to attack. Attack 2-5 times consecutively!
Lightmoss used the secrets of rock to enhance the power of Rock-type moves. This power, which it had obtained long ago, was not often used because there was only one Rock-type Pokémon in its team.

The fossil pterosaur was already strong enough, with high speed and high attack. After learning the Double-Edged Headbutt and Brave Bird Attack, battles were basically over in just a few heads.

The R button replaces thinking, and because of the "Solid Head" ability, these moves don't reflect damage, so you can just charge in.

However, the Salt Stone Giants are slightly weaker in offense, so they need to be slightly strengthened!
The white giants formed an array, raised their arms, and many stones appeared around their bodies, rising into the air and repeatedly launching them at their opponents!

With the release on a large scale, these intense rock projectiles began to bombard the ferocious mushrooms like a torrential rain!

The ferocious mushrooms howled as they were attacked, but this only fueled their ferocity. Some of the ferocious mushrooms that were originally surging to besiege the observation station split off to deal with the attacks of the salt stone giants. At the same time, the shadows that were wandering nearby also seemed to come "alive" and began to swarm towards the salt stone giants!

A large amount of ghost-attribute energy is rising, and the same is true for fairy-attribute power!
"The Winged Ones have begun their attack. These Pokémon are incredibly fast, like shadows, and have a vast move pool. However, their weakness lies in their extremely weak physical defense!"

"However, I haven't seen that Winged Hair I know yet. If the leader isn't here, the others shouldn't be too difficult to fight, right? Although Hair's attack power is high, her physical defense and stamina are too weak!"

The Crimson Lotus Armored Knight stepped forward, wielding a golden spear. The sacred spear surged with light, as if it had transformed into a spear of light!
The domain expands! The spiritual realm!
Psycho-shock – Royal Gunfire!

While the Psychic type doesn't counter Wing Slam, the damage is normal. Psychic Blast's power increases on Psychic Terrain. It's also a lower-tier move than Psychic Smash, meaning it uses Physical Defense instead of Special Defense for damage calculation.

As is well known, Winged Blow has excellent Special Defense, but its HP and Physical Defense are not so good.
Under normal circumstances, Scizor, being a Steel-type Pokémon with the Technic ability boost, can be KO'd with a single Bullet Punch!
Although Scizor's punch was powerful, normally, even if Scizor were to use Bullet Punch, it would require Swords Dance to deal enough damage. But to kill Vibrating Wing, it didn't even need Swords Dance!
This weak physical defense couldn't withstand the mental impact at all! The Crimson Knights started firing in burst mode, each shot from their light gun immediately shooting down a Winged Warrior! Meanwhile, Dolphin Warrior, who had appeared in the group at some point, also began to flex his muscles!

While the Flaming Wing has few weaknesses, it also has few resistances, with only one quadruple insect resistance and three immunity effects!

That is to say!

Dolphin Man unleashed a barrage of jet punches. The wingspanning the sky had never experienced such a powerful physical punch. The punches, the size of sandbags, caused them to crash one after another. During this battle, Dolphin Man's growth rate was rapidly increasing!

"Let the lower-level companions fight and gain experience. However, due to the influence of the emerging power, the whole team can receive the same amount of experience."

"By the way, I also made a learning device, but there's no occasion to use it."

"Rippling water, an aluminum-steel bridge dragon, all accompanied by the sound of dragon drums!"

"Flame jet, beam cannon!"

Waterdragon and Steelix also join the fray, using Dragon Roar to invigorate the entire team, and the effect is even stronger against Dragon-type Pokémon!

Increases the chance of hitting a vital point by 4!

That is, it must hit the vital point!
The surging water spewed fierce flames from its mouth, while the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon unleashed a powerful attack with its high Special Attack!
The troop formation soldiers didn't participate in the battle with the Winged Ones. These little candy bean people were engaged in a frenzied fight with Waaaahg. The fierce mushrooms were twice as weak in combat, which was the perfect opportunity for the little candy bean people with +6 to all abilities to show off their skills!
The little Striders charged forward with their small round shields, and the Mushroom's hands also resembled shields with Poké Ball patterns, a design inherited from its prototype, the "Fountainhead." But for the Striders—

Your shields are too soft, unlike ours!
Heave-ho! Brick breaking!
Golden shield, parry and execute!
Let us kids get involved in an even bigger and more intense waaaaahg!

"Roar!"

The nest ball suddenly opened, and the roar of the fossil pterosaur resounded through the sky. Seeing the onslaught of the undulating water dragon and the aluminum bridge dragon, it joined in without being outdone!

The sound of dragons dancing?

No, I know the full version of Dragon Dance!
Dragon Dance, Dragon Dance! Attack +2, Speed ​​+2! The rest is up to your brain!

Is it difficult to hit fast-moving Pokémon with the Double-Edged Hammer?

Then let's use the Brave Bird Attack technique we learned before!
"Having acquired the Twin-Head Hammer and Brave Bird's Fury through illegal means, Aerodactyl is undoubtedly the fastest physical attacker among Rock-type Pokémon. In short, it's practically invincible!"

Even the illegally modified Iron Rock of the future is still 6 points slower than the Fossil Ape!

Of course, the problem with Aerodactyl is that its physical attack stat is not high enough. It can only reach 135 points after Mega Evolution, while its initial form only has 105 points. Therefore, high-power moves are a must for it.

If not, then it can only be considered a joke. As the saying goes, the reason why the Mega Evolution Aerodactyl is ranked at the bottom of the Mega Evolution list is precisely because it does not have any powerful moves available, and it sits at the same table as Mega Evolution Mewtwo X.

"I don't know what's going on, but are those mechanical Pokémon from our side?"

Piper blinked, hid behind the Mastiff Godfather, and at the same time had his Salt Stone Giant provide battlefield support, joining the melee.

He saw those future Pokémon fighting as if they possessed reason, but their bodies looked tattered and broken.

"Those are the paradoxical Pokémon of the future."

The moss explained:

"You already know that your mother invented the time machine, but the idea for the time machine must have come about when your father was still alive."

"Therefore, he once thought about what Pokémon would be like in the future, and in the end, for unknown reasons, a batch of Pokémon was also sent from the future."

"Although they look like robots, they are indeed Pokémon."

"Based on the information we received earlier, the Future Species are rational and have occupied the Fourth Observatory, fighting against the Ancient Species. But they must have their own reasons. I have met the Future Species; they can communicate, but ordinary people cannot understand electronic voices."

Pipa looked at the Future Pokémon, and then saw a Pokémon with a crooked head that looked like a Delibird staring at her.

"Huh, is this one also a Future Species? Why aren't you fighting? Is it because you're too weak?"

"You don't look very strong. Would you like to come over to us?"

Piper looked at the seemingly mechanized messenger bird, whose pixelated eyes blinked, and suddenly its head sprang up!

"Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!"

You son of a bitch!
[Watch out, that Pokémon isn't from our side!]
A loud electronic sound rang out in the fourth observation station, and a gleaming silver blade was swung, repelling the ancient species that were attacking the observation station!

It's Ironhead, the future species of Gopaleon!
When it saw the "iron bundle", it was immediately terrified!

"Ah! Ah!"

A powerful lightning strike hit the mechanized messenger bird at the critical moment, causing it to collapse with a thud while still smoking! Its eyes turned into X-rays, and it lost its ability to fight!
"What just happened?" Pipa was still in shock, as was the Mastiff Godfather. It had sensed something was wrong, so it ran to Pipa's side and pounced on him!

Millerton switched to full mode, his body crackling with lightning, his tail spewing out torrents of energy, and his hadron engine activated!
This state is also called the combat stance.

However, the cowardly lizard rarely shows this behavior; most of the time it will run away if it can. Now it's a situation where "I have to take action"!
The electronic dragon Milton breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the timid lizard.

That Pokémon, named "Iron Bag," appears to be a futuristic species, but its programming is actually different from ours!
Ironhead defeated the surrounding intruders, while the other future Pokémon were almost out of energy, covered in battle marks, with even their paint almost completely worn off.

Uh... if the paint comes off completely, then it will turn into a sparkling state.

"The Iron Bag, which has a shape similar to a messenger bird, moves across the snowfield by spraying large amounts of ice from a spherical device. According to a paranormal magazine, it has only been sighted twice in the past. There are many different opinions about its true nature."

"However, a more compelling theory suggests that the iron bundle was a product of an ancient civilization. According to records in ancient documents, there were machines that resembled iron bundles that were designed and used."

"The robots born from ancient civilizations are just disguised as futuristic species? However, in terms of style, they are not as [medieval] and [nostalgic] as the Pokémon created by mysterious science, and they do not have many gear-like features."

Theoretically speaking, iron tracks and iron poison moths are weapons of extraterrestrials, while iron bundles are products of an ancient civilization.

While much of the content in paranormal magazines, especially regarding social issues, is unreliable, one thing is generally accepted.

That is, in the world of Pokémon, most of what is a "legend" is true.

This thing is also a very powerful character in battles, known as Chicken Bro, Iron Bro.
Because of the future!

Guangtai casually grabbed the head that had sprung out of the iron bundle; the guy's eyes had already gone black.

"Let's take a closer look at this thing's structure; we might be able to figure something out."

Pipa, however, was still in shock.

"Thank you, Milton." Piper thanked the electronic dragon, and Milton nodded, clearly pleased.

Oh dear, I'm not afraid of fighting.

I only take action at crucial moments!

[Long time no see! I never expected to see you in Zone Zero, solving the predicament of the Fourth Observatory!]
Ironhead greeted the moss: [It's been a long time since we said goodbye!]
"For me, it didn't really take long, but it took quite a while for you? But Milton seems to have arrived very quickly."

Lightmoss looked at Millerton, who stared at Ironhead, whose voice suddenly turned serious and electronic:

[Iron Serpent! Leaving your controlled area without permission will trigger your battle program and lead to conflict with other Pokémon. Given your power, the consequences will be unimaginable!]
[You have violated our regulations and should be punished!]
[But this is a tense time, and you've brought back the repairman! Therefore, your punishment is temporarily postponed! Welcome back, Iron Orochi!]
Milton: "Ahhh! (I wasn't planning on rejoining the team!)"

Lightmoy: "Why does this look like a Transformers movie set? So you're an Autobot?"
