Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 523 Alpaca: Here, this is Meng Tianlian's construction plan!

"Arzeus." Lightmoss was speechless upon hearing this line, which sounded like a narration. As the fog gradually dissipated, the scene that appeared before her eyes was...

The Ruins of the Divine Capital: The Three Illusions Stage

The stage of the ruins, now completely sealed off by the blizzard wall and where even the last guardian, Grandpa Mountain, had left, was emitting a faint glow.

"No, it's more accurate to call it the Temple of Origin than the ruins of the capital."

Washing Green Superman, open your eyes!
No, the era of Washy Superman is over.

Welcome to the world of Dream Sky Battle! How far can you go on the road to victory? Believe in your strength and luck, and keep challenging yourself!

[Although that's what I intended to say, unfortunately, the time for the other to awaken is fast approaching, and it will return here. History will then change slightly.]

"I understand, they're changing operators, right?"

After all, according to the history of the Washed Green and the history of the Super-Crystal Timeline, in almost every similar timeline, there is an Arceus who was betrayed once or twice, then fell into a deep sleep, and then the original Arceus would send a substitute to take over.
However, once the timeline of Superc is complete, and even the history of the Jade Washing process is finished, some subtle changes may occur.
Which Arceus are you looking for?
Among its countless clones, it is certain that each Arceus has a very different personality.

Some Arceus loved humans more than their own lives, entrusting their lives to them.

Some Arceus fell into despair and planned to destroy the world with their absolute power.

Some Arceus silently observe everything and attempt to repair the failed history.

Some Arceus are skilled at cosplaying as Angewomon, occasionally making scam calls, and ultimately winning by petrifying themselves in the final battle.

[The Dream Sky Battle has been silent for over 150 years. I have already hinted at this matter to the Flame Emperor of the Crystal Tower, regarding the floor tiles you pried up in the Temple of Origin.]

Guangmo: "."

The Aegislash was a bit clumsy back then; it's no surprise that the floor tile was pried off so easily – there was definitely more to come.

We still don't know what this brick can be used for.

[I plan to hold a series of battles against Mengtian as a gift to celebrate the awakening of another Sinnoh Grandmaster.]

Therefore, before it awakens, before the arrival of the Supercrystallization, please restart the Dream Sky Battle in the dream world. I have already given the guidance to the Tree of Connection.

[With the widespread adoption of the C-Device, people in the future will enter the dream world more frequently, without affecting the Pokémon's dreams. As a result, the strongest challenge facilities within the dream world will be reactivated.]

I have a ridiculous idea: perhaps you could invite people and Pokémon from different eras and worlds to participate in the tower challenge. Of course, the rules would need to be reset.

How can we bring people from different eras and different worlds into the same dream?
That sounds pretty exciting, doesn't it?

Now it's an ancient throwing monkey battling a future robot.

Lightmoss listened with some curiosity to the revelation, or rather, the civil engineering plan of the Sinnoh Grandmaster who was acting as a substitute in this world:

In the past, the process of the Dream Sky Battle was to choose one of three randomly selected opponents. The opponent would be chosen based on their type, and the difficulty of the battle would increase with each victory. The initial opponent's level, converted to human rating, was level 80.

"This is difficult from the start. Who would come up and fight an 80-level opponent right away? And all of these opponents can freely use powerful and swift moves!"

Of course, if there are multiple opponents, the level will be lowered to 60. Starting from the 11th match, you will face opponents with a level of 90 or higher. After the 21st match, there will be level 100 experts everywhere. Guangtai knows this.

[In the dream world, you seem to have a plan. I will create a special large floating island in the dream world. Pokémon can freely travel between the islands via the Rainbow Bridge, but humans entering the dream world to challenge it will be restricted to the vicinity of this special floating island.]

You can plan your island layout by mimicking the Pokémon League's layout, and in addition to the existing challenge process, add the [Elite Four].

[I need four legendary Pokémon qualified for this position to shoulder the responsibility of defending the tower in the Dream Sky Battle. If you think a particular Pokémon is a good candidate, they will immediately understand everything when you arrive before them. However, the pillars of the world will not participate in the selection process; instead, they will appear together at a certain stage.]

However, that was just an illusion.

"Four? The three dragons aren't participating because these three will naturally spawn during the Dream Sky Battle! Originally it was the Steel Dragon and Water Dragon Battle, now it might include Giratina?"

One against three, with three bosses attacking the challenger simultaneously—this scenario seems familiar.

"Speaking of which, four Pokémon..." Lightmoy thought of some Pokémon.

[At the same time, the challenges of the tower are not limited to battling Pokémon. The era of Green Age, when humans and Pokémon battled, has ended. Therefore, it is now time for humans to fight alongside Pokémon.]

As you mentioned before, bringing powerful trainers into the dream world and having them participate in tower challenges or take on the responsibility of defending the tower, will yield substantial rewards if they win in the Dream Sky Battle or successfully defend the corresponding floor.

[You should understand this battle mode. There's only one tower, but there are three ways to challenge it. Similar to the Black Skyscraper, the left and right areas are separate, and the three challenge modes correspond to the Three Illusion Stages.]

[This should be very interesting for trainers who enjoy battling. Similar to the Green Age, the challenge will likely feature a large number of Ancient, Legendary, and Mythical Pokémon as opponents, and I hope the scope of the battles will expand to over a dozen regions.]

Guangtai pondered for a moment.

More than a dozen regions.

There are nine areas under the main patrol, three areas under the rangers, plus...?

However, if the rangers are also included in the challenge, does that mean the [Hunting Arena] and [Illusory Zone] from those three areas will also be mixed into the tower?

Regarding the washing of jade, I have a commission for this. However, now is not the time to go.

The alpaca's voice quickly followed, confirming this:
This is a tower where humans and Pokémon fight together. Powerful humans and Pokémon are summoned here.

[You can ask Emperor Yan of the Crystal Tower for help with the tower's construction plan, schedule, and building materials.]

"So that's why they wanted to materialize the Flame Emperor!"

Guangtai suddenly understood why Emperor Yan had been resurrected from the dream world.

When it comes to building "towers," who is more skilled than the "Emperor of the Crystal Tower"?
It seems that for a long time to come, Emperor Yan will have to stay here and collect ashes?

However, isn't that exactly what it wants? It would be more than happy if its "daughter" could become the world's strongest trainer!
Alpaca, you're brilliant!

"A six-year-old girl leading Emperor Yan to fight the tower, this is even more outrageous than Bopi."

"Furthermore, if we transcend time, does that mean we don't even care about life and death...?"

Guangtai thought of the ghost girl; perhaps she could also appear in this unique dream.

To make a layout plan similar to the Pokémon League, which means having convenience stores and the like, and I just happen to know of three such guys.
Oh, divine capital, distant homeland where history has come to an end.

As payment for this work, I will give your Pokémon some extremely special [moves], moves that cannot be learned even through the Prism Star.

The compensation will be paid out gradually, first...

On the floating island in the dream world, the Waves, which was being ridden by the Rachel King, suddenly blinked and let out a roar that caused the Big-Headed King to overturn!

[The Lace Crown has been kicked out of the match!]
"Hmm!"

Big Head King fell headfirst to the ground with a thud!
Even Dolphin Man, who was entering the dream world for the first time, exhibited unusual reactions.

On the huge floating island where many Pokémon used to thrive, a thick fog suddenly rose up. The roar of the water and the muscular voice of Dolphin were the sources of the fog!
Fortunately, Miss Skirt noticed the appearance of the fog and she began to dance a magnificent dance!

Clear the dense fog!

Accompanied by a strong wind, the fog was gradually dispersed by the powerful airflow. Near the ancient blacksmith, the Aegislash suddenly sensed a change within itself, causing a wisp of fog, which was then dispersed again by Lady Skirt. Lady Skirt's call caused the Aegislash to thoughtfully move away from Calyrex's farmland.

The Aegislash already knows the source of this power.

Lightmoss, far away on the other side of the dream, also learned of this situation.

[Waves and Dolphin Man have learned—[Fog]!]

[The Aegislash has learned—[(Demon Mist)!]]

Fog is one of the very few unique weather phenomena in the Pokémon world that cannot be triggered by moves in the games. Generally, it is used as a special location or a scene to enhance the grandeur or showcase the divine power of legendary Pokémon.

In the game, the only thing that can be associated with foggy weather is the Foggy Terrain. Among the legendary Pokémon that can clearly trigger foggy weather in Generation VIII, the most memorable are the legendary heroes, Sword King and Shield King.

And, the mermaid Tapu Fizz, who possesses the characteristic of being a "mist maker"!
She is also one of the few Pokémon in the anime and lore that can conjure up fog.

In the past, Suijun has also demonstrated similar abilities.

The usual techniques of creating black or white fog cannot induce foggy weather.

Under the fog.

The power of the sunbeam is halved.

Photosynthesis, morning light, and moonlight restore HP to a quarter of maximum HP.

Any Pokémon's move has a 0.6x accuracy on the opponent.

The Weather Ball has a Normal attribute and double power.

Of course, this is the typical foggy day. In reality, foggy days have other effects in another world and setting.
In Pokémon GO.

The power of Dark and Ghost-type moves is increased by 20%.

In the labyrinth of the unbelievable.

Weather Ball changes to Water type, power x2.

At the same time, the power of electric-attribute moves is halved!

The reward this time is a mixture of different foggy days, extracting the essence of the fog!
"Dense fog will reduce the power of Electric-type moves by half, Solar Beam by half, and the recovery rate of Light-type moves by a reduced amount. Except for moves that are guaranteed to hit, all moves will become harder to land!"

"This is a technique that cannot be learned, and cannot be mastered even with the Prism Star."

"And the second type of mist, the demonic mist, can enhance the power of ghosts and evil."

[That's right, there are three types of mist. I've mixed two of them together, and to distinguish them, I've named the last one "Demon Mist." It's like the mist in places like Mount Sending Off Gods, the Cave of No Return, the Spring of Farewell, and Violet Town. Remember, mist represents a sacred or terrifying power, just like thunder.]

The alpaca answered in this way.

The ghostly mist, itself a type of foggy weather, appears in the Pokémon Tower of Let's Go, Pikachu! Let's Go, Eevee!, which is the Lavender Town in the remake, and corresponds to the ghostly spirits.

There are many other similar [moves], such as [Cloudy], [Sunny], [Strong Wind], [Overcast], [Thunderstorm], and [Ice Crystals]

Different weather conditions result in different power amplifications; utilizing the powerful forces of the weather in battle is one of the fundamental laws of this world.

As I mentioned before, beyond the fog, even stronger weather with the power of thunder will be the reward in the future.

[Speaking to humans in such detail is something I've rarely done since the end of the Green Era. But I must thank you for what happened at the Stage of Light.]

Guangtai knew that, as expected of the creator god, this was absolutely true.

Although the arena is showing signs of improvement, it is still not strong enough. Although the four creators of the Four Island Gods once disrupted the battle environment, the ones who ultimately benefited were the Thunder King Kong and the Blazing Roar Tiger.
"The strongest factor is undoubtedly the weather! Without a doubt."

As the saying goes, all battle logic ultimately boils down to a battle between sunshine and rain, and the power of Kyogre, the Lord of the Sea, is the eternal answer to every version.

Groudon, the Earth God, is in a bit of a predicament. If it weren't for the "End of the World" given by Primal Reversion, it would be best to stay in Hoenn and regroup before trying again.

In comparison, snowy days and sandstorms are quite unfortunate.
Guangtai felt that this was especially true on snowy days.

In the original "Black and White" series, scouting the lakeside in the Giant's Cave would instantly trigger a massive blizzard, freezing the entire area—that was the power of Kyurem.

With this level of dramatic performance, shouldn't we at least give it a "heavy snowfall"?

Aside from the basics, such as increasing the defense of Ice-type Pokémon by 1.5 times in snowy weather, it also adds effects like increasing Ice-type power by 1.5 and preventing Fire-type moves from being used, making it comparable to strong sunlight and heavy rain.
If that's the case, Kyurem would truly be the strongest dragon, and probably no one would laugh at its frozen world anymore.

Of course, in the legendary Arceus era, the snowfall was much stronger than it is now. Ice-type Pokémon's Speed ​​stat would be increased to four-thirds of its original value, the chance of being unable to act while asleep would be doubled, and the frostbite effect would be doubled!

If the chance of getting frostbite from blizzards could be reduced back to 30% as it was in the first generation, that would be truly invincible!

In normal battles, the only weather conditions that can be used are sunny, rainy, sandstorm, and snow, with the addition of "sunny" and "heavy rain" which are only available during specific periods, as well as the removed "hail".

Other weather conditions, such as extreme heat or heavy snow, are not regular weather, but can still be learned through Prism Star.

Even more unconventional are the series of weather phenomena that defy common sense, such as fog.

Adding certain weather conditions to battles could have very unpleasant consequences.

For example, overcast skies, especially dark overcast skies with dense clouds, are theoretically weather phenomena that Necrozma can cause.

The impact on the Pokémon world is still unclear.

However, in the dungeon world, its effect is that, apart from normal attribute moves, the power of all attribute moves will be reduced by 0.75.

Cloudy, sunny, and strong winds—these come from different sub-series and each has unique bonuses, such as...
"Strong winds will give Flying, Dragon, and Psychic-type Pokémon a 20% damage boost!"

"Sunny weather is different from clear weather. On sunny days, Grass-type Pokémon will have increased speed, which is equivalent to the average person having more chlorophyll."

"Cloudy conditions will increase the power of moves for Normal and Rock-type Pokémon."

"And stronger, more intense weather."

That's right
"thunderstorm!"

Thunderstorms, introduced in the Gem of the Tricolor era, are a type of weather that occurs naturally in the environment and can be encountered near the Weather Research Institute. In Generation V, they are a type of weather that appears when lightning clouds move around.

In fact, in Emerald and Sapphire, thunderstorms are caused by Kyogre and sweep across the eastern part of the Hoenn region.

In other words, the power that Kyogre displays in the story, besides "rain," also includes "thunderstorms."

In the eighth generation, thunderstorms, as a natural weather phenomenon, gained a very powerful effect.

It will simultaneously activate "Rainy Day" and "Electrical Site" modes!
In other words, it's the rain and thunder team, theoretically the strongest weather!

"Striving to receive God's blessings, especially [thunderstorm] weather, feels good! This weather is perfect for rippling water, or thunderous roars, or... letting the aluminum-steel bridge dragon drive?"

Thunderstorms and electric beams—I can't even imagine how violent this Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon would be in battle!
"Well, the Ice Crystal Weather doesn't seem to be of any use, but it's beautiful! It's the only weather phenomenon called [Diamond Star]!"
