Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 547 "The Commonwealth is a place where all things drift and converge."

[Defeated "Wanlong, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the United States". Defeated "Lianwu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the United States".]

[Defeated "Union Champion Adekel"!]

[The power of new life has been amplified! Your growth rate and that of all your Pokémon have been greatly increased!]

The six Pokémon participating in the battle have learned new moves!

[The Tree of Connection sensed the immense power released! It bestowed upon the "Champion's Badge"!]

[Gained the lost ability from an ancient era: Extreme Training! - You can help any Pokémon undergo Extreme Training! This is a training method that can raise a Pokémon's stats to the highest possible individual values!]

[Obtained the Tree Fruit [Mysterious Fruit - Ancient].]

[Description: An extremely precious tree fruit. Its intensely astringent taste makes all other ingredients appear sweet. It seems to originate from the Sinnoh region; after being influenced by the local climate, its effects in the present era will differ slightly from those in ancient times.]

This ancient fruit, cultivated by the Tree of Connection, seems to hold some special secret.

[Effect: Activates when the Pokémon's HP is below one-quarter of its maximum HP, increasing the accuracy of the next move by 1.2.]

[In ancient times: The next move used would ignore changes in one's own hit rate and the opponent's evasion rate.]

This is a very peculiar fruit, named after "miracle" and "mystery." Only distributed Pokémon can carry it, and there is no other way to obtain this fruit. Until the Age of Sapphire, when various breeding methods were simplified, this fruit could be repeatedly obtained in the Kitakami region.

The climate and environment northwards are the same as those in Seishi, Shinto, and Shin'oku.

At the very back of the Champion's Room, there is a teleportation panel. After teleporting through the panel, accompanied by a flash of light, Aldak brought the Lightmoss to the deepest room.

Lightmoy: "This is the room where you enter the Hall of Fame. It's also known as the Hall of Champions."

Judging from the appearance, it should be underground in the Unified Castle, or deep behind it, at least in a region deeper than the Hall of Champions.

Alder: "This place has been closed for many years. Although a long time ago, someone challenged me and entered. This is a place where trainers with truly great power and gentle hearts, and their Pokémon, will be remembered in history."

"Their names will be recorded here and passed down from generation to generation. All future trainers will take these champions as their role models and strive forward."

Guangtai asked curiously, "Is it Mr. Men?"

Adek: "The door?"

Guangtai explained with a smile, "It was Dr. Yew who told me that there was once a trainer who had trained on the Champion Road who mentioned that the inside and outside of the gate are two different worlds. I don't know his name, I only heard that he was a very strong person."

Adeke recalled for a moment: "Oh! It's that young man! He did indeed go to the champion's room."

"However, he lost to me. That's probably why he said those things."

"A door is something that divides spaces into boundaries, so behind a door lies another world! That's what he said, right? What a very capable young man!"

Guangtai received a definite answer, and shook her head with some regret.

I thought that Mr. Gate had successfully passed through here, but it turns out he hadn't. But being able to keep up with Alder, it's no wonder he appears as an elite trainer and warns those who come to the Champion Road.

"Although I'm not very good at operating machines, this is the only machine I'm very skilled at. Day after day, I keep repeating the same steps, hoping that someone will be able to enter the Hall of Fame."

"That's right, I see myself more as the gatekeeper of Unova, don't I? Now, engrave your names here, and the memories of your journey, as well as the experiences of the battles you've fought along the way, will be preserved along with your names!"

"I hope all of this will make you stronger in the future."

Alder brought the Radiant Moss to the deep golden machine: "Then, record the Pokémon that fought alongside you here into this machine!"

The machine was diamond-shaped and could hold six Poké Balls. As Lightmoy removed the Poké Balls from his wrist, Aldak suddenly said:
"When the machine records all of this, it will also synchronize with Pokémon Centers in various locations, so the Unova region will know what is happening in the Hall of Fame. So, as is customary, you can take over the Champion position, and I can retire."

"Should I take over?"

Adek stroked his chin, showing no disappointment at the impending loss of his championship title, but rather appearing full of anticipation.

However, after placing each Poké Ball in place, Lightmoss decisively shook her head:

"You know, I will not take on the so-called champion position. I may have done many part-time jobs, including the current job and identity, and I may be receiving salaries from multiple sources!"

"But the title of champion is too limiting for me, and the responsibility is too great, so I will pass it on to other aspiring successors."

"You said that this matter will be known throughout Unova. This means that those trainers with a fighting spirit, and those who are ready to truly compete with you for the championship, are coming."

"The Commonwealth is the place where all things drift and converge. It is also called the 'Gathering Place'!"

Adek's expression faltered slightly.

At that moment, the machine lit up, and the six Pokémon were recorded in the Unova Champion Hall of Fame!
The message began to spread like a spiderweb to every corner of the United States! It was recorded on various machines and devices!

And a certain statement made by Guangtai has also been inducted into the Hall of Fame and left in history!
------

At the entrance to the Pokémon League. A message appeared on Nurse Joy's recovery machine. After gazing at it for a long time, Nurse Joy slowly raised her head and looked at the people gathered in the Pokémon Center.

The group consists of veteran trainers led by Taiga, elite trainers, fighters, combat doctors, and chief ranger Hefro.

"Congratulations!"

Nurse Joy's expression was very serious, but also quite excited. The trainers from Victory Road who were gathered in the Pokémon Center started to stir the moment they heard those two words!

"A courageous challenger has successfully passed the test of Champion Mr. Ardek! A new champion has emerged in the Unova region!"

"We won!" Taiga slammed his fist on the counter, excitedly tearing off his trench coat, while the trainers on the Road to Champions cheered at the same time!
Just as they had hoped, although it wasn't a relay race, every trainer who came to the Champion Road had reached the Elite Four's room. Some even managed to get into the Champion's room, only to be defeated miserably in the end!

That symbolized the pinnacle of the world, the first time since Champion Ardek had been absent from the fight for so long! The League Championship resumed, and in the most epic battle, Mr. Ardek was surpassed!

"No matter how powerful the enemy, they will be defeated!"

"We have overcome both hardship and sorrow together!"

"It seems that even the champion is not invincible!"

"I need to hone my skills, and I will be the next person to enter the hall of fame!"

"not me!"

The trainers cheered wildly, exchanging harsh words with each other! He Fu, leaning against the gate, was slightly bewildered by this enthusiastic scene!
"Eh, Pokémon Trainer? We rangers aren't allowed to use Poké Balls in battle, so I don't quite understand."

"But reaching the league and defeating the regional champion is such an exciting thing, something to be cheered for!"

"Although I don't understand the process of the battle, I can definitely empathize with the feelings and atmosphere!"

Looking at the excited crowd, He Fu felt her heart stirring with joy and cheers, as if they were about to burst forth from her chest.

Inside the container she was holding, the Sea Prince's egg sensed the trainers' extreme joy, laughing, grieving, and celebrating with them. The egg emitted a bright light and conveyed the message "I'm so happy" to Hefu.

He Fu was slightly taken aback; she immediately sensed the change in the Manaphy Egg within the container!
He Fu picked up the container: "Was that you talking to me just now?!"

"Ah! Prince, Prince of the Sea, is also happy about this!"

--------

In Shuanglong City, Shaka was the first to learn of this news.

"A bright future has arrived."

He wasn't just talking about new champions entering the Hall of Fame; he was also foreseeing what might happen afterward!

It has been many years since anyone entered the Hall of Fame. Every time someone enters the Hall of Fame, it brings new changes to Unova!
Shaka turned off the machine, walked out of the room, and looked at the two children who were watching the news and staring in disbelief. He shouted sternly:

"Alice, Du Ruo! The shocking time is over. You two need to work hard too. Now, prepare for training!"

Alice: "Yay! I'm going to go for the championship too! First, I need to become a Gym Leader!"

Du Ruo: "This is so troublesome. How could this happen! Winning the regional championship is still too much of a stretch!"

--------

In Raven City, the lights of the theme park illuminate the sky.

Xiaoju, who was inspecting the dojo's machinery, paused slightly, then chuckled softly.

"After a period of calm, someone has once again stepped into the spotlight!"

In Feiyun City, skyscrapers stand tall, and surging crowds weave through the steel and concrete jungle.

Yati, who was creating art, opened the Pokémon device and looked astonished.

"I have a feeling that something intense is about to happen; this is an intuition that comes from my pure heart."

In Fanba City, ships are docked at the port, and cargo is being transported.

Old Master Ju, who was looking at his watch and directing the workers to dig underground, had a solemn expression.

"That kid is really something! To be able to do that! Oh my god, I have to tell Ziyu."

In Fukiyoshi, vegetables are being transported onto airplanes.

As Feng Lu prepared to board the plane, a smile appeared on her lips as she hummed a melodious tune, like the tinkling of a wind chime, and put on her flight gear.

"Next stop, soaring through the skies!"

Although it's not yet winter in Snow City, the air is already thick with cold.

Hachiku sat on the ice and nodded slightly in approval after hearing the news.

"Calm your mind and mind. Let's meet again at the world's number one martial arts tournament. Train with high spirits!"

In Liyong City, the smoke and dust of industry rise, while underground concert halls are filled with the clamor of voices.

Meanwhile, the bald-headed Cook suddenly saw the news. As a candidate gym, the gym in Liyu City had not yet officially started construction, but Homiga had already passed the selection, so all they had to do was wait. Therefore, their music venue was now officially under the government's control!
"Hey! Homiga!" Cook approached Homiga, who was testing the bass: "Look!"

Homiga blinked, then slammed the bass down with a bang, the strings seeming to snap:
"Hall of Fame for Champions?!"

"Hey! Does that mean we're the champion band now?!" Homiga nervously pinched her chin, racking her brains: "Should we raise the ticket price for future concerts? Haha, the champion band really is a champion! Now we're double champions!"

Qibao City, an art capital and warehouse town, inside the museum.
Aloe vera, arborvitae, and rosewood all gasped in surprise.

"That Mr. Adek actually got talked about by Young Master Guangtai, isn't that the one from the museum back then!"

Zitan: "I...I have to go!"

Looking at the curator and deputy curator, she said excitedly, "So many dreams have come to mind. Champion Furniture, let's use this theme for the next batch of furniture designs!"

Sanyo City, houses arranged like stars, and snow-clearing stairs.
"This is absolutely amazing! No wonder he's our idol! This incredible and amazing flavor!"

Tian Tong, Bert, and Koun were almost dumbfounded after reading the news. Meanwhile, Makomo and Truffle, who were in another house, also received the news while they were busy writing papers and reports and repairing the storage system.
"Huh?! What happened?! Wow, Lightmoss has entered the Hall of Fame!"

"Wait a minute! So, you mean I now have a champion in my network! If I use the champion's name to buy property, could I get a discount?"

Makomo was seriously considering this matter, and at the same time looked at Matsuru: "Matsuru, do you think it's okay to borrow money from Mitsuki about moving to Feiyun City? Won't others be intimidated by my connections?"

Truffle: "Sister, once Device C is fully developed, you'll become rich. Why are you still thinking about borrowing money? Besides, isn't that intimidation?"

Makomo declared righteously, "Real estate speculation! The housing prices in Feiyun City are so high! I'm going to build a super huge research institute! One floor isn't enough! I'm going to buy an entire building!"

"It has to be bigger than all the research institutes of all the regional PhDs! And as rich as Dr. Parker!"

"And with Hikari being my deputy director, my research institute is sure to become famous! I'll leap to become a leading figure in academia, reaching the same level as senior researchers like Dr. Oki and Dr. Yamanashi!"

Truffle shrugged helplessly.

My sister is daydreaming again, fantasizing that she is the Nanbowan of academia, and that she can leave Sanyao City and become a superior person in Feiyun City!

----------

Raven City, versus the Subway.

Bei Shang stared at the announcement on the machine, lost in thought.

The new champion's name is familiar; it's the craftsman who appeared in the Battle Metro game!

Bei Shang closed his eyes, recalling their brief encounter. For some reason, he had a feeling he would meet him again, perhaps in battle, or perhaps for something else; it was a strange feeling.
"Did we share the same ancestors? Eventually, the drifters converged here."

"The Hall of Fame is a sacred and solemn place for those of us who love to compete. Would you like to try going there?"

"Then we can't hold back in the upcoming battle!"

Bei Shang looked towards the South Building in the central control room:
"Nanxia, ​​put in a little more effort! Take down those challengers!"

Nanxia: "Hey? Our core principle in this battle against the subway isn't a life-or-death struggle, but a battle of service. Actually, that's the real deal."

Kita no: "No, as the head of a combat facility, we are far from being qualified!"

----------

Luzi Town, Yew Tree Research Institute.

In front of the computer, Dr. Yew, Dr. Old Yew, and three other figures were all nervously watching the information displayed on the machine, as well as the special announcement sent to official facilities throughout the Unova region.

"He succeeded. Just as I had heard him say before! The journey must continue."

Congratulations!

Dr. Yew looked at the information on the machine. Someone smiled absentmindedly, while Dou pulled down his hat brim, a strange look in his eyes.

Hei Lian stroked his chin with a serious expression, while Bai Lu was stunned by the shock of the information.

"Doctor, can we set off earlier?" Tou asked. "Wandering and converging, all things gather here! In terms of age, although we are slightly younger than Tou, we are about the same age."

Blackie: "Professor, you helped them choose new starter Pokémon in the Padilla region, right? I've gathered some information about that region, and it seems there's no age limit of 14 for setting out."

Bai Lu: "I also want to leave early, but my dad probably won't let me go, but I still want to go!"

Professor Yew said helplessly, "These are the League's rules, and there's nothing I can do about it. This isn't just about operating in the surrounding cities; we're going deep into the mountains and rivers, even the dens of legendary Pokémon, and we might even have to deal with mysterious organizations. We'll encounter many things on our journey—it's an adventure for the three of us."

"Alright, let me tell you a little about what happened to him in the Parthian region. I believe this will give you more insights."

"If you also want to become strong, challenge the Unova League, and enter the Hall of Fame, you'd better listen to the stories of your predecessors!"

------------

In Hinoki City, at the Pokémon Center, Mei, Kyohei, and Ash are standing in front of a video phone, communicating remotely with Miss Sunflower in Aoyama City. The three children look extremely shocked because their Pokémon Center has also announced the same news; Nurse Joy simply tells them about it with a smile.

For ordinary people, this is something worth listening to and something they can talk about in the future, but for the three little ones, it is of great significance!

Mingyi: "Hey hey hey! Mom, is this really new official information?! The teacher has become the new champion?!"

Gongping: "The official information from the entire Union Empire is synchronized, this is the champion! But he didn't take over, why?"

Ash: "If we want to continue our travels, we need to keep getting stronger. A certain organization hasn't been destroyed yet—my sister's pickpocket cat."

The three boys, each with their own thoughts, quickly began discussing what to do, where to go, whether to become champions, and other issues that caused them some slight distress when they went on a trip in the future.

But at least now they have a clear goal, and Principal Xi Lan, who is still staying in Hinoki City, has told them that once they embark on their journey, everything will become clear.

However, today a spirited young girl came to Hinoki City. She was carrying a package and seemed to have come from afar.

"Hello! The Trainer School in Hinoki City, right?"

"I heard they're planning to build a Pokémon gym here?"

The girl was standing at the entrance of the Trainer Academy, talking to the staff in charge of reception. Soon someone came out and warmly greeted her.

"Oh! Is this the person recommended by Mr. Bei Shang and Mr. Nan Xia?"

The instructors at the trainer school were very enthusiastic:

"There is indeed a Pokémon Gym being planned here to enhance the school's education! The original plan was to build it in three years, but because of the construction plan of Blueberry Academy, our principal is also showing some interest in competing with it."

"After all, our school is a prestigious institution with a long history, and we can't let others outdo us."

"Therefore, we do intend to invite trainers with considerable strength and expertise in certain types to take up their posts."

"Regarding age, although you look a bit young, that doesn't matter, as long as you have strong abilities. But, could you tell me why you want to work here?"

Girl: "Yes! I was recommended by Mr. Bei Shang and Mr. Nan Xia to serve as the leader, but only for a short period of time."

"As for why we came here."

"Because my partner has done amazing things, I want to be like him now!"

"I'm going to become the Pokémon League Champion! But for now, I'm training a new team, which is why I'm here first!"

The teacher at the trainer school was somewhat taken aback. He wanted to say something encouraging, but his trainer instincts told him that the girl in front of him must be really terrifying!
"Um, wait a moment, I'll have the principal and Mr. Xi Lan come over. Also, could you tell me about your strengths?"

The battle girl with a high ponytail, wearing a vest and hot pants, was about to speak when she suddenly saw three little ones coming out of the Pokémon Center while talking. Especially Nami, who immediately caught her attention.

"Oh, hello everyone! You must be the girl Touya's mom was talking about! You're so pretty!"

Douzi stepped forward, looked at the somewhat flustered and bewildered Mingyi, and greeted her warmly. At the same time, he turned to look at the teacher, lifted the brim of his hat, and gave her a sunny smile.
"My name is Touko, and I will be the battle captain at the Trainer Academy here! My preferred type is [Fire]!"

------------

Black skyscraper, white tree hole, battle subway trial room, training rock.
Trainers who had previously battled Lightmoy were equally astonished.

The former challenger, who once became the boss of the tenth area, has now successfully passed the champion's test and entered the place where history is recorded.

Just as this [new champion] said!
"The Commonwealth is the place where all things drift and converge!"

"What kind of feelings are these? Witnessing the birth of a new legend?"

"Hahaha, the new trainers, those ambitious and idealistic trainers, will all start to catch up!"

"Even though I've entered the Hall of Fame, I can't afford to lose!"

"Those who reach the top of the skyscraper are not to be underestimated."

"Aldak, he's not that scary! I can take his place too!"

On the tenth floor of the black skyscraper, Ms. Wallachia, dressed in a black coat and accompanied by Latios, also learned of the news. She looked at Haru Shion, the gatekeeper of the sixth area, who was challenging her with great excitement.
At this moment, the beautiful girl with blue hair and pigtails was excitedly waving her PokéDevice:

"No wonder he has over 70% support in the BOSS fan club! See, if he can become the champion, he will definitely be more dazzling than any other idol!"

Wallachia nodded slightly and smiled: "Yes, it shines brightly even in this dark universe."

"So, Haru Shion, I have won this competition. It seems the gatekeeper of the tenth district remains unchanged."

Haru Shion's face immediately fell:

"Damn it! Using Latios is so unfair!"

--------------

In the Hall of Champions, Guangtai closed her eyes and suddenly heard many sounds.

That was the voice of the Tree of Connection, which conveyed the shadows and emotions of countless people to him. At the same time, even Adek, who had once been connected with the Tree of Connection, noticed it slightly.

The machine displayed the location to which the message was transmitted, including all the battle facilities, and many blurry figures appeared within the Heart Vortex.

Guangtai can tell the identities and strengths of those people!
"The protagonist battles against his rivals: Black Lian, Gongping, Ash, Guai Shilang, and Alice Bailu?"

“The talented young people Du Ruo, Zi Yu, Na Li, and the unseen Chi Song.”

"Black Skyscrapers: Abidos, Cassandra, Zagreb, Tatar, Nabaul, Haru Aster, Macello, Wallachia"

"White Tree Hole: Amaboru, Karnak, Salua, Tandor, Nadia, Hammurabi, Marianna, Vadali, Zaimon"

"The Rock of Cultivation: Great River, Terry, Huixin, Yulia, Atong."

"Battle Against the Subway: South Xiamen, North Shang"

"And then there are the Four Heavenly Kings of the Tower of Heaven. Although it's just a joke, these four ladies are incredibly strong. Qingwen, Luan, Fenli, and Shouting (Wang). They correspond to fire, normal, ice, and steel respectively."

"And more. And more."

In its senses, Lightmoss received the sounds of the entire Unova through the Tree of Connection, and faintly heard a familiar voice.

Ah! It's the traveler Zoroark!
"My friend, did you become the champion? You actually did! That's amazing! You're really great!"

Zoroark, whose whereabouts are unknown, is probably at a Pokémon Center. He is talking to himself and laughing.

It seemed to know of the existence of the connecting tree.

"Friend, if you can hear me, please don't be surprised. I've thought about many things too."

"I've been to many places, but I haven't been to the Hall of Fame yet."

"I'm happy for you to become the champion and make history, so I'm also planning to find five reliable teammates and then try to take on the challenge?"

"Where people gather, where masters congregate, my blood is boiling!"

Lightmoss looked at the gleaming light of the champion machine, then turned to look at Aldek:
"You invited me to take on this challenge, but for you, this is just the beginning."

"From this moment forward, trainers ready to fight you will appear in droves! Right here on the land of Unova!"

Adek paused for a moment, then, after carefully considering the words of the moss, burst into hearty laughter!

"Hahahahaha!"

He just smiled and said nothing, until his smile was radiant with joy!
Laughter echoed through the empty hall of champions, gradually subsiding until only Adek's labored breathing remained, as if in a sigh of relief.
"Oh, is that so? You beat me to it this time!"

"I wanted to tell you that becoming a champion is just the beginning of life, but you've said the opposite! Hmm! You're absolutely right! Let this be spread like gospel throughout the land, and even reach more distant lands!"

"Whenever a new champion trainer emerges in a region, it is a major event that shakes the region and even the world. However, there are also top trainers who continue to travel around after becoming champions!"

Aldek crossed his arms, his eyes burning with fervor: "So, let me tell you!"

"I sincerely wish you all the best, and may our battle become a stepping stone for your progress! Even among the champions, there are opponents stronger than me! Therefore, we cannot afford to be careless!"

"If you're going to other regions, why not try challenging other champions? You're sure to gain something!"

Guangtai sighed, "If it's not necessary, I'm not good at this level of combat, although I do know a few champions."

"But thank you very much anyway!"

Having fulfilled his promise, Lightmoss was about to embark on a journey to a new land, namely Kitakami Village and the Buried Tower, but before that...

He Fu had been waiting for him for a long time at the gates of the alliance!

The days ahead will certainly be very interesting for Aldak.

Hopefully, this amazing old man won't say something like, "We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them!"
--------

Sinnoh, a distant land.

Cynthia looked at the message in the Pokémon Device and slightly curled the corners of her lips.

She knows many people in the United States. This message was sent by Wanlong, and of course, it will also be sent to Cattleya at the same time.

"Just as I predicted, Shopkeeper. I thought back when I was in the Ruins of the Divine Capital that one day I would definitely fight you. It seems that day may be approaching."

"You truly are a powerful figure left behind by history. Just who are you? I also have a dream."

"Beyond the title of Sinnoh Regional Champion, reaching a higher level is not something you can achieve by simply thinking about it."

"Phew, I've already understood the history of the Divine Capital Ruins. If it weren't for the Galactic Team's situation, I might actually have had an idea."

"Are we heading to Silver Mountain?"
