Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 537 Fragmented Parental Love? Anyway, let's head to the road to the championship!
"Yes! Thank you very much for your training, teacher!"

"I've made great progress, and I won't let you down in the Champions League!"

Cai Dou took deep breaths. During her two days of practice, she consciously imitated Xiong's breathing method and discovered some new things.

Breathing techniques.
Kubrick, a Pokémon, has a unique breathing technique that can concentrate and strengthen its spirit, thereby enhancing certain abilities to prepare for battle. It can be described as a training technique that "activates" the body.

Moreover, the crystal system from the distant Padiya region greatly shocked Ayaka!
especially.
"Absolute Crystallization, this is an amazing battle system!" Bea summarized earnestly: "By modifying its own attributes, it can become a different type of Pokémon. Once the attributes are changed, even the way that Pokémon was originally used will change!"

"Moreover, after crystallization, my original attributes still gain a power boost consistent with the moves, which is truly astonishing."

"There's also the Crystal Barrier, which can reduce damage. My monstrous strength can't break through it at all. And this seemingly impenetrable defense actually has such an unprecedented domain and fighting style. Different regions have different climates, which even affect the battle."

"Ahem!" Lightmoss coughed lightly. "Let me explain. The Crystal Barrier isn't a power that Crystal-Transformed Pokémon can unleash in normal battles."

"In the Padia region, only wild, powerful Primal Pokémon that have absorbed a large amount of Primal energy can perform this damage reduction and remove the opponent's ability barrier."

"My Tai Crystal is a [Potential Tai Crystal] that has not yet been sold as a [commodity], and it is almost impossible for it to be sold as a commodity. There are currently only two in the Padilla region, and this transformation was achieved with the help of a certain Pokémon."

"Of course, you don't need to be shocked by the power of Tai Crystallization. Although Tai Crystallization is very strong, it can only be used in the Padia region. Only those who possess the [Powerful Tai Crystal Bead] can perform Tai Crystallization in other regions."

"Therefore, in terms of usage restrictions, compared to battle systems you may not have heard of, such as Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, their battle system is universal across all regions, while Taiki is not."

"Of course, I know that Galar's Dynamax restrictions are more stringent. After all, both of these battle systems require charging, unlike Mega Stones and Z Crystals, which are their own energy source."

Although Aya didn't understand what Z-Crystal was, she knew it was another unfamiliar battle term. But she didn't reject this confusion; on the contrary, she was filled with a strong curiosity—a completely new curiosity she had never experienced before!

She even felt joy because of this! For the first time, the space for growth and progress was so tangible and real!
"Wow, the world is so big!"

Cai Dou suddenly began to express her feelings with a touch of emotion, her expression softening, even becoming joyful!

"That's the feeling."

"When I was young, when I first came into contact with Galar karate, besides my talent, I also had some interest. Every day I would learn different moves. What should I learn today? I wanted to achieve the goals I set for myself. Every day I had new motivation, and I could meet new people and a new world!"

"I remember everything now!"

"My techniques are constantly evolving, and I can continue to evolve as well. This is exactly what Zaimon and Mr. Lianwu were talking about!"

Cai Dou looked intently at Guang Tai. Her sky-blue eyes had never been so bright and beautiful, radiating confidence, pride, joy, and cheerfulness—completely different from the past!
Those decadent days are gone forever!
Although since childhood, people have said that my martial arts skills have been shut down because of excessive practice, and that I have only ever had one thought in my mind, now I realize that this is what the world of martial arts I have been experiencing is like!
"Growing and progressing together"

"Although it would be somewhat shameless for someone of my level to say something like 'I'm improving with you'."

"However, I have done my best and I hope to live up to the title of [Cultivation Partner]!"

Her gaze was intense as she bowed to the moss, then spoke earnestly:
“From a long time ago, my father said I had a great talent for karate and constantly told me that I should take on the future of Galar karate.”

"In the martial arts school and dojo, I trained relentlessly, sparring constantly with other fighters and my father's disciples, and I defeated them one by one."

“I have never felt that anyone other than my father could be my partner in cultivation, so I have always been alone when I cultivate.”

"But this time, it's different from the training in the past."

"What I want to say is that I have grown. I have never been so aware of my own weakness, nor have I been so able to empathize with the Pokémon. I have grown up with them."

"I can't describe this feeling. This must be what you call 'synchronicity'!"

"Thank you so much for your guidance! Keep up the good work on your path to becoming a champion! I look forward to your victory!"

Aya rarely reveals her true feelings to outsiders, but as a fellow practitioner, including Aya who has already exposed her vulnerable heart to Hikari, this has actually helped to loosen some of the shackles in her heart.

This special title held great significance for her at that time!

Light Moss: "Yes, you have to keep going. Even the mountains we climb will eventually crumble!"

"If you can knock Dante off his horse, you will become the youngest champion since him! However, there are many competitors this year, so don't be careless."

Although one-hit kill moves have a strange setting: in the first generation, they could not be used if you were slower than your opponent, but later it was changed to fail if your level was lower than your opponent's. However, when you use them in the game, it will show "No effect on the opponent".

However, how could it be ineffective in actual combat?

Just like player-versus-player battles in the game, the normal mode limits all levels to 50. This is a setting to allow one-hit kill moves to be used normally. At the same time, it is also to slightly speed up the pace of battles.

Some skills that can kill at level 50 cannot be used at level 100.

"Moreover, even the Dan Emperor isn't that strong right now. Your Machamp has already undergone a reorganization and training at the Training Rock. In terms of growth rate alone, I don't think it's necessarily weaker than the Dan Emperor's Pokémon."

"As long as we don't face Charizard and Aegislash, the others should be fine!"

The flying attribute and the King's Shield are too powerful; the Earth Shatter cannot hit it, or it will be blocked.

However, during the Sword and Shield era, Leon's entire team was only between level 60 and 80. Even in the second playthrough, they strictly adhered to this level and did not experience the crazy power expansion and level 81 or higher that happened with Suzaku.

Currently, Dan's team is only around level 60. Without the experience of the whole team, leveling up is a very painful thing. Moreover, Dan often attends various events, which makes his training time not very free.

After all, he's an "advertising person".

Lightmoss nodded to Bea, then looked at the other Pokémon.

After two days and two nights of training on this meditation rock, and the final meditation, I have completed all my preparations.

Although many Pokémon were trained, only six ultimately participated in the battle.

The rock house was filled with light, completely suppressing the light of the Radiant Moss, because the Volcano Moth was floating not far away.

While the Rock type is four times super effective against Bug-type characters, Bug-type characters have their own countermeasures, namely the "Solar Beam," a counter-attack move that almost everyone in the team can master.

Under sunny and clear conditions, the sunlight beams do not need to be charged and can be emitted instantly.

Therefore, those golems may have already been hit by a solar beam from the little bug before they threw the stone in their hands!

Meanwhile, the other teammates also made significant progress during the training!
"Yes! I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

Bea clenched her fists and looked intently at the Pokémon around Lightmoy, especially the six companions who were preparing to challenge the Champion Road.

Especially the Aegislash, which was several sizes larger than Dan Emperor's Aegislash. She had never seen a sword monster of this size before, and the power it displayed during training had turned into a shining gold color, which was also wrong!

Although Hikari explained that it was the king's posture, Ayaka still couldn't quite understand what it was all about. In short, it was a very powerful state change!

Watching the moss and the Pokémon leave.

Bea looked around at the wild Pokémon that had gained strength from the fierce battles.

Although everything seems to remain the same.

But the sunlight had gradually disappeared, the warm breeze blowing through the cave had paused, and the vibrant colors of the world that had once filled the cave were gradually fading.
"So this is what it feels like to lose a friend. An emptiness, as if you've lost something important."

"But I know. We'll see each other again soon!"

"If humans and Pokémon can achieve perfect synchronization and teleportation, then humans can do the same, right?"

"Whether I am sad or fall into despair, my Pokémon will always be with me. Yes, although I have lost my training partners, my companions who have always been with me will always be with me!"

Whom did I come here with?

It's with Pokémon!

Even the Heavenly King of Martial Arts was right. Coming to the Rock of Cultivation, one can indeed break through one's mental barriers, and even meet the most important person in one's life.

I must become a partner who can stand tall and proud beside him!

------

Unova region, Route 10.

Passing through the mountains of Shuanglong City, heading north, you arrive at the final stretch of the Champion's Road, where the Badge Checkpoint stands.

Each area between each gate represents the attribute used by each dojo.

A river flowed along the center of this road, its terrain characterized by towering cliffs. However, in Black 2 and White 2, this location was destroyed by a mudslide, causing Victory Road to relocate to near Kyurem's home. Consequently, the unique, soul-stirring music of Route 10 became a thing of the past, only to be heard again from specific music NPCs.

As for the real reason why this road collapsed.
Guangtai always felt that perhaps the "mudslide" was related to the shoddy castle built by the plasma cluster.

Two years later, not only was Route 10 buried by a mudslide, but Team Plasma's castle also collapsed into the plateau. Professor N even lamented that without maintenance, it would be finished.
"The castle was indeed impressive when it was raised, but the foundation was not laid properly, and it collapsed after two years of no maintenance. This is what happens when a shoddy construction project is harmful. Moreover, that thing was an illegal building."

"If this coronation were to take place in a castle, and the castle were to collapse one day due to its poor construction, wouldn't that make the entire United States a laughing stock?"

This interesting idea only flashed through my mind briefly, but now the United States should be checking the underground, and that castle may not be able to rise again. Perhaps, in the spirit of recycling waste, they will turn it into some kind of underground challenge facility.
However, as expected, this illegal building lacked any safety guarantees and was quite frightening.

Guangtai put on the control devices, which she carried only on her left arm; there were six in total.

While returning to Unova for training, Guangtai had already sent a message to Wanlong. Of course, she also learned from Caidou that the Elite Four, except for Gadria, were all in the League.

Of course, Lantachibana said that because of the bet, Moss doesn't need to challenge his room; he will just turn on the lights.

Wanlong was speechless, but Lianwu said he didn't care.

Therefore, before facing the champion, he only needed to fight two top players, which was quite effortless.

Lightmoss arrived at the gate, which was initially the Gate of Desolation. This area was filled with sand and appeared very empty and desolate, with the first inspection gate standing in front of it.

"Halt! Those who do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to pass!"

"Opening this door requires a Three-Element Badge!"

Before the badge inspection gate, a senior trainer from the League, who was also a League employee, blocked the way. He stopped Lightmoss and began inspecting the badges. His expression changed slightly when he saw eight badges!
"Hmm, someone who got eight badges? I have heard about it before. Recently, someone defeated all the Gym Leaders, but I haven't heard from him yet."

"So it's you!"

The veteran trainer's expression was very serious: "Being able to obtain eight badges already demonstrates your strength. At most, the Champion Road is just ahead. Since you've come this far, I probably don't need to explain this path any further!"

"However, you should be a little careful. The Victory Road is the den of a Pokémon called Iron Ant, so you will be surrounded by many wild Pokémon. If you encounter danger and cannot resist, just run out of the cave and slide down the big cliff. Although it is a bit scary, you will not be hurt as long as you slide down normally."

"So that's how it is. This Path of Champions is actually a nest." Guangtai heard something interesting and thought to herself, "So that's why the Path of Champions in the game is covered with iron ants and is trapezoidal in shape. It turns out that you guys built the road directly through someone else's nest!"

"Isn't this trespassing?!"

"Ahem, there are no inspectors at the back gates." The veteran trainer evaded the question and then jumped to the inspection process: "Because there are very few trainers who can go to the Champion Road instead of participating in the tournament, there aren't always people at the eight gates."

"We give trainers some words of encouragement at the badge inspection gate as they head towards the Victory Road. Occasionally, former champions also appear here. Yes, by former champions, I mean those who have entered the Hall of Fame."

Lightmoss immediately thought of the elite trainer in the game who would stand in front of the Volt Gate and the Vibration Gate; Professor Jugland had also mentioned him.

He would talk about doors, so you could also call him Mr. Door.
There are people who surpass the champion but don't strive to become the new champion; almost all the protagonists throughout history follow this template.
The responsibility of being a regional champion is heavy, but there are also those like Daigo who are hands-off and constantly thinking about resigning.

"I won't say more. Let's traverse the Champion Road, surpass our limits here, and advance towards the Pokémon League!"

"Prove that you are also a legend!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Pass through eight gates and enter the ladder-shaped road to victory, layer upon layer.

Guangtai took out the rewards she had received after training with Caidou.

The first one is the ancient, lost technique called "Seclusion".

This is indeed a prize that fits the "seclusion training" event. This move is a special move of Goodra in its Emerald form. It was weakened in Generation IX, but before the weakening, this move was extremely powerful!

Make your skin as hard as an iron shield. This will greatly increase your defense and make it easier to dodge your opponent's attacks!
In other words, while performing an Iron Wall attack, you will also enter a unique "smoke screen" state, increasing your evasion rate!

Its move animation shows Goodra retracting into its shell and increasing its defense, although the description only mentions that it hardens its skin.

While this move has been weakened to the point of being as unremarkable as Iron Defense, making its adoption irrelevant, it would be beneficial if it could be taught to Steel-type Pokémon!

"That would be an incredible combat technique! Let's test it out later. Since the basic release method is no different from Iron Wall, the technique should be similar as well."

The best animal to learn this move is the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon. With Iron Wall and Smoke Screen, combined with its endurance and pounce, it becomes quite terrifying!
Young and promising Pokémon, whether using physical or special attacks, are just so amazing!

This training session also made Guangtai think that training in different places might give her the chance to obtain more lost techniques. Of course, the most important thing is to go to the Sinnoh region for archaeology, which might be faster.

The second reward is the [military strength] from the chaotic regions.
The "Full of Courage" you get is actually the ability of the protagonist's general in the chaotic world. The two turns of action in the effect are quite similar to the "Swift" style of the Washing Green Era. You can continuously expand your turns and launch a fierce attack, leaving the opponent with no chance to fight back.

"So, does that mean I've reached the average level of a military commander in a chaotic region?"

At this moment, the moss remembered
The swift fighting style and the "courageous" power of the generals are actually very similar to "parental love"!
Although it's a loose parent-child love, gaining the right to act for two consecutive rounds is not much different from attacking twice in one round, since the opponent can't move!
"With swiftness and the strength of the general, theoretically, it's possible to attack four times in one round?"

Although Swiftness comes at the cost of reduced power in exchange for increased attack speed, it doesn't really matter. Just like Power-Up Punch, nobody expects a move with 40 power to deal any effective damage. Its strength lies in its ability to get stronger the longer it's used, coupled with the Parental Love ability of Mega Kangaskhan, which is the root of its overpowered nature.

This made Guangtai secretly look forward to the combination of these two combat abilities!

"If there's no corresponding characteristic, then let's make up for it with human strength and ancient combat techniques. Just like a disassembled dragon dance is still a dragon dance, how can disassembled parent-child love not be parent-child love? It's even enhanced!"

"The Enhanced Fist is about to unleash its full power!"

The Road to Victory is somewhat dark, but you can sense that there are humans active in the darkness. There are always a group of powerful trainers training here, and today is no exception!
Climbing the stairs, outside the cave, Riolu jumped onto the highest rock and gazed at the distant scenery.

Then, I heard the voice of a Pokémon Trainer!
"You're here to challenge the Pokémon League too, and you've got eight badges?"

"I won't let you get through so easily! Let's fight!"

"My Pokémon partner and I have fought countless battles to get here! We won't lose so easily!"

In the darkness, an elite trainer walked over, his expression serious, his pride and determination evident!

Elite Trainer John has come to challenge us!

"Perfect timing!" Lightmoy activated its Great Ball, and Riolu burst forth with lightning speed, while the opposing trainer sent out a Feraligatr!

John's eyes were resolute: "Use Dragon Claw!"

Lightmoy also gave the order: "Swiftness Enhancement Fist!"

Using a move quickly can advance the order of subsequent actions, but the power and additional effects of the move (including the probability of triggering status effects and the number of turns it lasts) will be weakened, while the hit rate of the move remains unchanged!

The axew claw swung down suddenly, and Riolu dodged quickly, using Mind's Eye to dodge with unparalleled skill!
"Wang!"

From your first strike to every single one, I saw through all your movements!
Riolu suddenly swung out its iron fist, which was wrapped in blue light!
Guangtai also tentatively used the unique military power that only protagonists in chaotic regions possess!
Increase your attack power, and at the same time, take two actions!
The shockwave slammed into the belly of the Axew, the first blow, the second blow, the third blow.
The fourth strike!
"This is the enhanced punch's continuous attack! With rapid, continuous actions and the effect of the general's power, it increases attack power by four hits + one hit in the first round! That is, five hits!"

Guangtai felt that these three skills and abilities combined were far too powerful. This could be his ultimate secret technique, even more exaggerated than the Scroll of Penetration!
[Martial Arts Breakthrough: The Ultimate Technique of Combo Attacks (Fighting Style - Combo)!]

[Description: One of the "legendary martial arts," this is the martial art technique from a distant land that made Master of the Isle of Armor famous. It employs unpredictable movements to catch the enemy off guard, resulting in a flexible and sharp fighting style. Attacks are executed freely and spontaneously, like acrobatics.]

[A side effect of martial arts: Passion (for 3 rounds)!]

[Description: Will become obsessed with their most recently used move. The damage dealt by the obsessed move will increase by 1.5 times. At the same time, the damage received will also increase by 1.5 times.]

"Enthusiasm" is one of the special states that one can inflict on oneself in the Legend of Arceus.

During the Green Age, using skills like Reverse Scale, Roll, Petal Dance, Ice Hockey, or Great Indignation can grant you a state of enthusiasm.

Alternatively, using a special food item called "Zongzi" on a Pokémon can make it enthusiastic about the last move it uses, putting it into an "Enthusiast" state.

From the way this state is acquired, it is clear that it is a "similar to continuous attack" move. Furthermore, because it increases power while also doubling the damage it takes, it is a double-edged sword in battle!

[Acquire move: Consecutive Punches!]

[Description: Attacks by unleashing a barrage of punches. Performs 2-5 consecutive attacks. This is a Normal-type punching move that cannot normally be learned, but can be taught to a Pokémon through martial arts instruction!]

The number of punches doesn't matter, but the essence of continuous strikes is!

Riolu's fist emitted white smoke, and the speed of its punch seemed to exceed the speed of sound, causing a violent and ear-piercing explosion!
One punch equals four punches, and it gets stronger with each punch!
The Axe-toothed Dragon swayed, and four fist-shaped marks suddenly appeared on its abdomen and chest. It raised its head, its body stiffened, and finally collapsed with a roar!
