Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 514 Don't work overtime when you reach the final stage.
Orin AI: "So, you're saying the research institute is the end of the trial? That sounds pretty interesting. It would also be a good fit as a treasure hunt."

Light moss:

"It's not just that, the key is the [Road to the Championship]."

"The Padia League is a rising league, and the challenge of its Road to the Championship is to obtain eight badges and conduct a treasure hunt in the wild."

"However, the peaceful atmosphere and unique local customs make the people here focus more on life than on fighting."

"Chief Ye Ci, this situation is somewhat troubling."

"In my conversation with another of the Four Heavenly Kings, Ms. Xin Li, we discussed the need to make changes to the path to the championship."

"That is, to imitate the Victory Road in other regions and use the Victory Road itself as the place for Pokémon trainers' final trial."

"The current league, the so-called championship test, is essentially a civil service exam. After passing it, you can become an employee of the Padia League. While it's not necessarily bad, it lacks that final sense of mission."

"The rainbow seen after the storm, as well as the fruits and answers of self-growth and introspection, the growth of the heart and soul, are the treasures that the academy hopes its students will gain."

"Traverse the richness of nature, witness the battles of Pokémon, seek out legends from history, challenge the impossible limits, and break free from your shackles. Give the treasures a concrete and visible image and representation, making them real."

Orin AI responded: "No, Professor himself, I have heard about the Champion Road in other regions before. However, although I am a Pokémon Trainer, I am more of a researcher."

"So, I've only heard that the Victory Road is the final test to reach the Pokémon League, and that countless powerful trainers have been born in many faraway regions."

Lightmoy: "The challenges on the road to the championship vary slightly from region to region, although they are all essentially obstacles that trainers must overcome."

"Because of the differences in local customs, culture, and social environment, the final answers will also be different."

"In Kanto and Johto, the answer to the path to victory is [strength]."

Green, crimson, azure, leaves. Even Professor Oak and Elite Four member Akiko, Lorelei from the Seven Islands, Shiba training in the mountains, Rika to prove the power of the Dark attribute, and Lance who left Johto.

Apart from Yishu, all the powerful individuals have a reason to come to the Quartz Plateau!
Countless people have ventured into the caves of that plateau in their quest to become champions, making the significance of the path to victory extremely simple in both regions!
That symbolizes absolute power!
Even Professor Kukui, in order to make a pilgrimage and build the League in the Alola region, made a request to the Indigo Plateau and even challenged the Champion Road, reaching the Kanto Elite Four, but ultimately lost to Lance.

"In Hoenn, the answer to the path to victory is [transcendence]."

At the end of Hoenn's Champion Road, May/Haruka will encounter Max Charge, who has overcome himself, illness, and weakness, and will face off in the final challenge.

Surpass your rivals, surpass the Gym Leaders, surpass the Legendary Pokémon, surpass the Champions! Emerald's content constantly tells these stories!

In ORAS, the battleground is covered with red spider lilies.

Crossing the boundary between life and death, what is received and welcomed in the light of that cave is new life!

"In Sinnoh, the answer to the path to victory is [battle and encounters]."

The Sinnoh Champion Road is itself a very difficult maze.

Along the way, trainers will tell the protagonist that both Pokémon and humans will die sooner or later, which is why the battles are so spectacular!

The fat guy blocking the entrance cave on Route 224 will tell the protagonist to go and meet all the Pokémon.

Elite trainers standing beneath the waterfall would say they will never give up.

After that, more than one trainer would mention: We must fight, we must defeat the Elite Four!
After all, Sinnoh inherited the history of Greenery, and the history of Greenery is the history of battles between humans and Pokémon!
"In United States, the answer to the path to the championship is [reality, or idealism]."

The friends who set off together from Deer Town finally understood what they needed to do when they reached Route 10.

Hei Lian and Bai Lu had said that.

Everyone has things they can and cannot do.

To understand these things, the elite members of Unova spontaneously set out for the Champion's Path. Among them were even former members of Team Plasma.

That was to verify whether what I had gained along the way could be transformed into reality, and to look forward to new ideals.

"So, what answer will the children who finally challenge this path in the Parthian region receive?"

The school's answer was "treasure".

"But I think that even with treasures, everyone's final answer will be different, and what gives these answers their authenticity is the vibrant people who carry these answers and are active in the future."

Lightmoss described his ideal vision to Orin AI, the future Three Sword Saints, and Pipa, who had understood a little and whose eyes were wide open!
As for their purpose, it is not merely to perform the duties of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Another point is that it's fun!
Or rather, after the events in Zone Zero are over, something needs to be left for the protagonists to follow. So, here's the Champion's Road + Challenge Facility!
If it can be described as "causing pain".

That means it's probably a real success!

"However, the rules for the challenge are that it's a team of four! You need to get eight gym badges to qualify for the challenge of District Zero!"

"After all, I was discussing battle facilities with you before. Although I thought the Dream Tower would be even more powerful, for ordinary trainers, it's something that can be seen with the naked eye, which is more motivating, right?"

"There are many such challenging facilities in other regions as well, ranging from easy to difficult, with the difficulty increasing gradually."

"I'm just making a suggestion. You can consider it and make a simple plan. I need to go down further down, to the Great Void of Zero. Dr. Orin, what do you think?"

Orin AI: "I completely agree that the Void of Zero requires a special Blue Disc for certification, but I already know that you have it. It was a special disc that was previously provided to enterprises, but its function was not specified. Even the chief champion did not know its purpose."

"Then please be careful, the strongest Primal Pokémon resides within the Great Void!" Ironhead: [Hmm, what facility did you mention earlier, called the Dream Tower?]
Lightmoy: "That's an incredibly powerful facility. Its exact name is [Dream Sky Battle]. However, it's not in the real world. It might open soon, and I'll let you know when that happens."

"That is the place of trial left by God!"

Light Tower took out the Blue Disc.

The elevator's destination has been changed.

After Moss led the Pokémon into the elevator, Ironhead and Leafeon began talking to Orin AI.

Orin AI looked at the elevator and said to the future Three Sword Saints and Piper:

"I'm sorry, but I think I also need to go down there, to the deepest part of the pit. Please wait a moment."

"Although I cannot leave this facility, the void below is an exception, because the crystalline energy there is even higher."

"Moreover, I also have some...some questions I want to answer."

Ironhead's eyes flashed:
[It's alright, we'll stay here to ensure the time machine runs smoothly. If it continues to summon Pokémon, we'll take care of them.]
Meanwhile, Pipa was also thinking things through.

Something that has never appeared before is about to emerge. Reflecting on my journey, I realized that I had relied on the protection of the light moss for most of the time to get here.

Since Brother Guangtai obtained the secret seasoning, I have nothing left to repay him with.

During this journey, Pipa realized something important, and he felt that, just as Brother Guangtai had said!
"Because they lack the ability, they are not qualified."

That's why you're not qualified!
Think about it carefully, whether in society, in the academy of Padiya, or elsewhere.

The so-called strength can be expressed in many ways.

In short, you must have a special skill.

My dream is to become a secret chef!

But, just as Brother Guangtai said!
Without strength, one cannot obtain delicious ingredients; therefore, strength is essential to becoming a gourmet hunter.

If you are rescued by others when you are in danger, that is lucky.

But more often than not, you have to rely on yourself to get through that final hurdle!

“Mom, I think…” Pipa said to Orin AI and the two Holy Swordsmen:
"If I could, I'd also like to take on the path to the championship!"

"I should be able to enroll in Orange Academy soon. I plan to start combat training after enrolling!"

"I want to become stronger! Although I'm not good at fighting, I have dreams, and becoming stronger is necessary to achieve them!"

"I will definitely overcome all obstacles!"

Aurelia AI's eyes held a gentle light, yet she was very rational. After a moment's thought, she suddenly said:

“Papa, Mom supports your idea of ​​becoming stronger, your dream of becoming a secret chef. To achieve it, strength is essential, and it will help you overcome many difficulties and difficulties.”

"However, after you grow up, you challenge eight gyms and successfully enter the Champion Road, or some facility. Suppose that the idea of ​​Zone Zero as the Champion Road, or a part of it, can actually be realized."

"I think that after you complete the Champion Road, you can challenge the Elite Four of the Pokémon League to test your strength."

"However, you must either lose the final battle or forfeit."

Pipa: "Huh?"

"We've already overcome countless difficulties, and according to our elder brother, we've found our answer and our treasure. But at this crucial moment, are we going to throw the match?"

Orin AI: "Uh, it's not a fixed match. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Guangtai is a new member. He shouldn't have mentioned anything about the chief champion, Yeci, to you, right?"

"That black-haired woman who looks like a crystal flower. As the operator of the league, she is quite successful, but as a true champion who can guide others forward, she is actually unqualified."

“I also know a little about champions from other regions. Although I don’t know much about them, they are all very pure people with independent ideals, while Ci is not.”

"Before she became a champion, she was the chairman of the academy and the president of the league. She had a lot of power, and because of this, she devoted all her energy to the rapid development of the league."

She took a deep breath; although she wasn't a living person, the act of inhaling was subconscious.

"Therefore, Ci is in great danger!"

"I'm not saying that Ye Ci has any terrible ideas or conspiracies, but rather that if you pass the Champion Test, you'll essentially become an employee of the Padia Alliance, and she'll assign you various missions, which is commonly known as..."

"work overtime."

"This thing can kill people's enthusiasm for certain things! Like a certain person."

"I think that for someone like you who aspires to become a secret chef, it's best if overtime work doesn't fall on your shoulders, right?"

"For young children, working overtime is still too painful."
