Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 528 The three starter families of a new region appear!
In the battle at the Zero Zone gate, Xin Li was ultimately defeated.

Winged Fluttershy won its first battle, which made the little imp arrogant. Feeling that it was finally no longer called a "loser," it used Deoxys's psychic powers to provoke Ironhide from inside its Poké Ball.

However, she didn't dare to provoke her too much, because she knew that this iron woman was still stronger than herself.

And that kind of personality is too serious!

This guy actually knows Steel-type moves, and both of his slashes are guaranteed to hit! What kind of program did he grow in the future to be so powerful? I don't understand!

The mutual hostility between Zhenyifa and Tiewuzhe left Guangtai feeling rather helpless. It seemed that if they were released to fight at the same time, they would probably start fighting first.

"Although we won, we need to change the way we communicate with everyone. This kind of mockery of others before communicating is a phenomenon that prevents us from expressing our true thoughts normally, and it's a way of covering up our inner vulnerability."

"Baha? Ha!"

Zhenyi was taken aback by what she was said, and then, as if some kind of disguise had been exposed, she became annoyed. However, as Guangtai delved deeper into the analysis, her voice grew softer and softer.

"Because you are lonely and have no friends, and you yearn for love but don't know how to express it, you have become like this. As a leader, you have no companions and instead go to human settlements to cause trouble, which fully illustrates the awkwardness of wanting but not getting it."

"And in terms of age, you must be hundreds of millions of years old. Looking back on your life as a ghost, you realize you haven't made a single friend. A Pokémon's life shouldn't be spent like this. When you look back, you shouldn't regret wasting your years, nor should you be ashamed of having accomplished nothing."

"To make good friends, you must first become a good friend yourself."

Zhenyi shouted: "Waaaaah—"

Zhenyi shed tears of humiliation in the Masters round!

Wow, how do you know so much!

Stop, stop talking, papa!!
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!

The Iron Warrior inside the memorial sphere showed a surprised expression.

How come this trainer is more aggressive than me?

However, seeing this guy suddenly go from being arrogant and domineering to having his defenses broken down and then bursting into tears is quite a sight to behold.

The Iron Warrior appreciates, even finds, the scene pleasing to the eye. The loser should show such an expression, instead of rashly saying something abnormal!

That's not a field you should be in!

"You're pretty heartless, aren't you?" Lightmoy muttered, then comforted Master Ball, "Of course, it doesn't matter how far you have to go to find a good friend. What do you think?"

Zhenyi didn't reply, and the crying from the Master Ball gradually faded away. She seemed to be tired and had fallen asleep.

However, she kept the words of the humans in her heart.

Jinhui Town, Bao Canteen.

After the battle, Xinli treated everyone to a meal to celebrate the end of the Zero Zone incident!
She ate her omelet and sighed loudly:

"I thought I could definitely defeat two this time! Ancient Pokémon are really too powerful. I caught one and defeated that seemingly strong Salt Giant, but I was defeated by another Ancient Pokémon in the end!"

"That means I've lost all three of my matches! But even though I lost, I feel like I'm definitely improving."

In front of the four people were many dishes, including the famous grilled fish, pork chops, and omelets from Bao Canteen. There were also special foods with the ability to eat, such as "homemade dried plums", "red bean soup", and "stir-fried bitter melon".

And Aoki's favorite food, "grilled rice balls".

"Squeeze the lemon and it will become refreshing and delicious." Aoki and Pipa are engrossed in their battle with the grilled rice balls.

For Aoki, the outcome of the battle between Hikari and Shinri was not important, as long as they didn't fight him.

I'm a non-overtime advocate, and if I were to engage in a roadside battle and suffer a defeat, my mood at work would worsen.

However, both Xinli and Guangtai are young and promising individuals.

Being with these people sometimes makes me feel younger.

Those twenty years of working overtime seemed to vanish like a dream.
A comfortable expression appeared on Aoki's face, as if the fatigue of the past few days had vanished in that instant. This is how a corporate slave finds joy amidst hardship!
Xin Li: "When are you going to challenge the Unicron's Road to Champions?"

Faced with Xinli's question, Guangtai thought for a moment:
"Just a few days from now, I will go to the Rock of Cultivation for my final meditation."

Xinli: "Wow, that was fast! But, Champion Ardek is a well-established figure. Speaking of which, he also has a Volcarona as his ace. I wonder which one is stronger, yours or yours?"

Light Moss: "Well..."

Even Guangtai herself felt that this was a difficult thing to say.

"From a status perspective, Mr. Alder's Volcarona is stronger, after all, it is the champion's ace."

"However, my Volcarona has unconventional moves, and might even be stronger than that one in some aspects. But we'll only know for sure after we fight it, and besides, fighting Volcarona against Volcarona is simply impossible."

The sphagnum moss has no intention of waging a "Vulcan civil war".

Although Volcarona seems to be fire-resistant, its attribute combination means it is neither resistant to fire nor countered by it. Therefore, in a mirror match, there is still a high probability that one of them will be "killed by dealing damage".

But that would be pointless, since our own little bugs are crucial weather controllers, and waging civil war would be utterly reckless.

However, if crystallization is used...
"The eruption of the crystal rock might just be able to instantly kill Adeker's Volcarona, after all, Volcarona is four times weak to rock."

The ability to use the crystallization system in other regions is incredibly convenient and will greatly assist in tactical construction and handling special situations!
drip-

Aoki's Pokédex suddenly rang, his body stiffened slightly, and then he activated the device's communication.

"I am Aoki."

["Oh, Aoki, are you with Shinri, Hikari, and Pipa?"]
"Yes. We're at the Treasure Canteen." Aoki activated his [Battle Switch] ability, entering a listless mode.

The person on the other end of the phone was, of course, Ye Ci.

"Oh dear, my call came at a really bad time. I apologize for interrupting your meal. However, the Alliance has some work to do right now. Could you come over as soon as you finish your meal?"
"Oh, by the way, could you have Piper come over too? I'd like to talk to him. I've already gotten Dr. Orin's permission."
Aoki wanted to say that today was a day without working overtime because the Zero Zone incident was completely over, but Yaji's words were not to be refused, which made him very unhappy.

Seeing Aoki's dejected look, Xinli quickly comforted him, "It shouldn't be any work that requires long hours of overtime. They wouldn't make us do civil engineering, would they? Think of it this way: maybe some students have collected eight badges and are challenging the League!"

Aoki: "That kind of thing is probably even worse. Since I can't pass the first test anyway, I'll have to trouble you to help."

Xin Li: "You talk as if I'm a waiter greeting guests. I'm the interviewer! The interviewer!"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. The joyful time brought by the celebratory banquet could not last. Guangtai, however, noted down Bao Canteen's cooking method and planned to make it for her companions to try in the future.

[Acquisition: Treasure Kitchen's Secret Cooking Technique (C+)]

[Description: Bao Canteen is a well-known canteen in the Patia region, famous for its Thai cuisine, but its other home-style dishes are also excellent. They can make incredibly delicious meals with simple ingredients!]

[Effect: Simple cooking—any simple ingredient can be transformed into something magical in your hands! Increased palatability by 25%, and nutritional value by 30%.]

[Note: If taste tolerance is improved, Pokémon will not easily become confused when eating food they don't like.]

Guangtai's eyes flickered slightly, and then he nodded with considerable satisfaction.

------

On the hill behind Tabletop, through a narrow tunnel, stands the Padiya League at the end of the Rocky Road.

Compared to other regional alliance headquarters, the Pardia Alliance's symbol is a ship's compass, hence its building has a similar architectural shape, and in terms of grandeur, it's not as extravagant as other regional alliances. The headquarters in the Quartz Plateau resembles an ancient city, while other regional alliances mostly take the form of tall buildings or castles.

It's normal for aesthetic preferences to differ across regions, but from an external perspective, the Padiya League headquarters building is very white, which gives it a rather pleasing appearance.

Upon entering the Alliance building, Lightmoss suddenly bumped into Dr. Yew.

"Hey? Doctor, what are you doing here?"

"You!" Dr. Yew almost lunged forward to grab Lightmoss by the collar, gritting her teeth:

"I should have left a long time ago! It's all because of you, because you keep sending me new information, and because President Ye Ci suggested that we co-sign and conduct a detailed study, that I've been working overtime until now!"

Dr. Yew was truly heartbroken. Yueju had already left, and he even declared that he was a gambler and had no interest in work. At the same time, he used the fact that his family fortune had been squandered as a shield, successfully dissuading Yeci from trying to retain Yueju.

After all, the Padian League didn't have much wealth; most of their money was invested in crystallization research.

Of course, Ye Ci knew that Yueju was joking.

After all, he is one of the four Heavenly Kings of Unova who have been famous for a long time. Although he looks young, he has actually been one of the Heavenly Kings for quite some time. As for gambling, that was just a bad habit he had when he was young. Now that he has become a Heavenly King, it says it all.

He still has the duty of protecting the Union, so he cannot keep the other party here.

"Sorry, Doctor, but the content I sent you should be enough for you to write dozens of papers, right?"

"What do you mean by water! It's all dry!" Dr. Yew was dejected. She had absolutely no objection to this. She said helplessly:

"If only I could take my time to study it! Seriously, I've never seen anything like this before. I haven't even finished writing down the old research findings, and new ones are already coming up!"

"For the first time, I feel that giving you the encyclopedia was a mistake."

I remember laughing like an idiot when I was doing the reverse mountain climb!
Joy turned to sorrow!
At the same time, she rallied her spirits:
"So you can't run away during the academic summit! A lot of this content is from materials you sent me, which I haven't fully investigated myself yet. You'll have to be the one to speak then."

"These research findings are of great significance, without a doubt! I will then compile them thoroughly and send them to Dr. Yamanashi, Dr. Oki, and Dr. Elm, especially the content related to evolution, such as local climate, moves, ecology, egg groups, individual differences, and new characteristics. There is a lot to write, and I also need to add the regional survey content of Paradis. I hope there is still time."

Dr. Yew has clearly become a corporate slave like Aoki, and this is the first time she has become like this since graduating from university!
"By the way, Dr. Orin, she spoke to me about the incident in Zone Zero. It's really hard to know what to say. But everyone is alright, which is the best outcome, all thanks to you."

"Regarding Rotom, I'm planning to lend one out. Was that your suggestion? Indeed, I also feel that there's still a lot to research about Rotom in the field of electronics. Makomo borrowed one from me before, but I hadn't had a chance to give it to her before I came here."

"The key point is! I don't have enough time to write! Makomo said she has to deal with the vulnerabilities in the storage system with Truffle and write a report on the dream world. She doesn't have time to help me write it, and Barnet has already left."

Dr. Yew was truly at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Previously, there was only a lack of research content, but there was never an overflow like we are now!

Fortunately, Dr. Orin said she was happy to help! After all, she had borrowed Rotom, and this was Orin AI's way of expressing her gratitude.

"Dr. Orin said she also plans to give a presentation at the academic summit. This is probably her first time doing so. And it's strange that she, a well-established doctor, wants me, a relatively new doctor, to accompany her."

"However, the ecological survey here will begin soon. The researchers are already in place. I must say, Chairman Ye Ci is very capable and efficient."

Dr. Yew whispered, "In this respect, they are far superior to our regional champions."

Guangtai chuckled, "Mr. Adek has his own things to do too."

However, it's true that the Unova Champions and the Elite Four did slack off quite a bit.

Novels, gamblers, those who go out to practice martial arts and never come home, and those who sleep in their villas and laze in bed.
Looking again at the Four Heavenly Kings of Padiya, they were all working overtime.

"Everyone is finally back."

Yeci strolled out gracefully, showing no trace of the embarrassment she had suffered when she was shut out by the Giant King. She then looked at the people present, and at the same time, Guangtai also saw Hachisaku!

"Manager! You've been in Padia for so long, I'm so glad to finally meet you!"

I've been working overtime here all this time, so busy that I didn't even get to go to the arts festival. Now I finally have a chance to catch my breath.

Mitsuki greeted him: "Mr. Hachisaku, it is also an honor to meet you. Thank you for your recommendation for me in Padiya."

Padiya's art teacher, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Dragon King, also shares similar artistic views with Kosa, believing that art is destruction and creation!
Hachisaku: "Don't mention it! Shopkeeper, I've already heard about that miraculous work from Ako, and I've also seen the photos. However, no matter how high the resolution of the photo, it can't reproduce even a fraction of the beauty of a work of art!"

Lightmoy: "Yes, Master Casparcias said the same thing in the Johto region!"

Hachisaku: "Exactly! Your sculptures and works have greatly impressed me. Regarding the question of whether more artwork could be added to the shop, I shared the same opinion as that lady named Cattleya; I'd like to order a few more."

"Ahem." Yeci coughed and said to Hachisaku, who was scratching his head, "I know that you artists have a lot to discuss with each other."

"But for now, let's pause for a moment."

Ye Ci rubbed his temples and smiled as he looked at Guang Tai:

"Lightmoss King, regarding the Dream Tower from before, I hope you can tell me in detail before you leave, about its future plans and challenge rules, and things like that. We've already agreed on these things."

"Also, these are the gold coins you asked me for. Although I didn't collect too many ancient gold coins, I still managed to get quite a few through someone's channels. You should know who it is; she's planning to take a teaching position at the school now."

Ye Ci handed a small, heavy bag of gold coins to Guang Tai:
"I've also heard about the legend of the Money-Grubber, and it seems that no trainer has successfully caught it in the Padia region yet. But that's just an assumption."

Guangtai knew that this "uncaptured" setting was written in the encyclopedia of the Money-Gathering Spirit.

But in reality, only one person captured the Money-Stealing Spirit, and that was Leiho.

However, Reho would not send out the "Bankruptcy Spirit" in battle, so no one knew that Reho had a Money-Grabbing Spirit before the Alliance made the exchange.

After the main story concludes, when the timeline shifts to the short animated film "Unchanging Bonds," a random girl appears carrying a Fortune-seeking Spirit. This means that the nameless female student was the second person to capture the Money-Seeking Spirit.

Ye Ci: "It is said that the spirit that seeks wealth has strange legends. Was your spirit born in another place?"

"Indeed, there are." Lightmoy didn't hide anything: "After all, there are still many Money-Gathering Spirits in Padia. If a Money-Gathering Spirit successfully evolves, that is, if it collects 1000 coins..."

"Its evolved name is Saifuu! It is a legendary Pokémon that is associated with the Golden Country and can create gold."

"You can see it as the ancients' greed and passion for treasure, which gave birth to the wealth-seeking spirit and the rich man who symbolizes gold."

It's said to require 1000 coins to evolve, but in the game you only need 999, because the Money Spirit always carries a coin with it.

"I've heard some interesting news again."

Ye Ci smiled and nodded, then looked at Dr. Yew.

Dr. Yew listened intently at first, but after realizing what he meant, his expression suddenly became very complicated!

"More, more new content, please have mercy on me." Dr. Yew felt he couldn't take it anymore.

Ye Ci's inquiry about the legend of the Money-Gathering Spirit was merely out of curiosity. After resolving her doubts and feeling delighted, Ye Ci became slightly more serious and explained to Guang Tai:

"With Dr. Yew's help, we also completed a reform, namely the [Initial Partners]."

“In the past, although the academy had a rule that each student would be given a Pokémon upon enrollment, it did not specify which type or which Pokémon it should be. Therefore, a wide variety of Pokémon were prepared for students to choose from.”

"However, after Professor Oak and Professor Elm deciphered some of the Pokémon's egg groups and ecological abilities, the Pokémon they carefully selected were considered the most suitable for beginners to raise. These Pokémon provided to novice trainers are usually specially selected to make them easier for beginners to train."

"From now on, Orange Academy will also introduce a similar mechanism, selecting fixed Pokémon of the [Water], [Fire], and [Grass] types for the students to use!"
