Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 550, Research on the Legend Report: The trash can was empty.

----------

Sinnoh region, Masago Town, Professor Yamanashi's research institute.

This resolute-looking old doctor, who loved eating angry-themed steamed buns, had originally planned to go out on business today. However, due to news about the yew tree, he suspended his plans, got out of bed early, turned on his desk lamp, and was reviewing a large number of documents sent from the Unova region.

The information sent from the Yew Research Institute in Deer Town records the changes in ecology and climate in Unova and the distant Padiya region.

It includes not only investigations conducted by champions and Elite Four level individuals, but also detailed records of the local environment and the distribution and habitat of Pokémon.

What made Dr. Yamanashi frown and even feel a jolt in his heart was the very important content in the document!

"The origin and evolution are linked. This evolved form, which has not been found in other regions, has learned unusual techniques due to the era and local conditions. These techniques have not been recorded before and are entirely new!"

"Even due to natural enemies, as well as racial competition, human activities, and special items, new evolutions have occurred!"

"A large number of new evolutions have appeared in Pokémon that were previously considered to be in their 'Complete' form! So far, the only cases that have been witnessed, investigated, and recorded have been in the Sinnoh region, but now they have also appeared in the Padilla and Unova regions!"

"Alumina Bridge Dragon, Forsaken, Kirin, and Pokémon! These Pokémon are also types that continue to evolve? Theoretically, their DNA in their pre-evolutionary forms is more complete, and through multiple investigations and studies, it is believed that they should be 【Complete】 Pokémon!"

"This is not a still unclear, under-researched 'regional morphology,' but a completely new evolution; all their data and even characteristics have changed."

Dr. Yamanashi became more and more engrossed and curious as he watched!
Ecological surveys actually started a long time ago. Professor Birch and Professor Cedric are authorities and experts in the investigation of Pokémon habitats and distribution, as well as natural ecology. Even Professor Yamanashi himself returned to Sinnoh because he felt that the Pokémon in the region had changed.

"Oh, right! I see!" Dr. Yamanashi slapped the documents, recalling some strange records and investigation reports.

"Electivire and Magmar, although they should be newly discovered evolutions in recent years, seem to have appeared a long time ago. Is this due to the influence of [environment and climate] or [human activities]?"

"Long ago, the evolution of the Super Armored Rhinoceros was considered a major academic topic. The use of [armor] for connection and exchange was influenced by human activities. In other words, the evolution of the Aluminosidamosaurus is of the same type."

"And those that are vaguely confirmed to have an evolutionary relationship include the Wandering Night Spirit and the Night Demon, the Giant Winged Flying Fish and the Small Ball Flying Fish, and the Big Tongue and the Big Tongue Licker."

"There are many such examples in the Sinnoh region. Pokémon that were thought to be unable to evolve in other regions have undergone new evolutions in Sinnoh."

"Magneto and Nosegate have undergone a new [evolution] due to the influence of the abnormal magnetic field of Mt. Coronet. This has only been revealed in the last month!"

"【Complete Pokémon】and 【Incomplete Pokémon】. Four years ago, when I was doing research with Professor Oak, I advocated classifying them based on this, but now it seems that might have been wrong? Hahaha, it seems that my research has been completely overturned! But, this is a good thing!"

"Hmm, the person who collected this information looks very familiar. Yes, of course I remember this person."

"The one who deciphers [Arzeus]".

Dr. Yamanashi was friends with Hikari, but only as a client. After careful consideration, Dr. Yamanashi sent Hikari a message, not expecting a reply, but simply writing:

[Long time no see, this is Yamanashi. I read your and Yew's report. It's absolutely amazing. It will definitely cause a major upheaval in academia. These are very important and incredibly impressive report contents!]

[I've always had a question.]

Do you think the "Legendary Pokémon" have evolved, or perhaps become more mature? Are Pokémon ultimately complete or incomplete beings?

If you have more information, could you please bring it to me?

Dr. Yamanashi did not expect a reply; he sent the message out of curiosity and excitement.

however.

He didn't expect to get a reply so quickly!
Hikari: [Long time no see, Dr. Yamanashi!]

[In the report led by Dr. Yew, I only conducted a small, insignificant investigation. If it was of any help to you, I would be very honored!]

Regarding your question, my answer is—

【some! 】

The Pokémon named "Cosmog," "Cosmoem," "Solgaleo," and "Lunala" are evidence that Legendary Pokémon may also have growth stages.

The legendary Pokémon named "Guradon" and "Miladon" may represent the "evolutionary history" of Pokémon themselves.

The common Pokémon "Diamond Smash" may, under certain circumstances, mutate into a Mythical Pokémon called "Dianci".

The Mythical Pokémon named Meltan is said to evolve in groups, and upon reaching the end of its life, it decomposes back into its initial form.

The legendary Pokémon named "Kuboo" will evolve into different forms of legendary messengers based on different martial arts insights.

[Also, there is the prince known as "Manaphy," and his strange relatives and descendants, "Phiona."]

[Professor Yamanashi, if I may ask, you must have received a message from the Pokémon Rangers that an egg has been designated to be delivered to the Sinnoh region.]

[I'd like to ask, where is the trainer named "Xiao Guang" located now?]

"Hikari," Dr. Yamanashi muttered to himself, looking at the many messages sent by the light moss. The old doctor had never expected to receive such a great reward.

The two were originally just acquaintances, but now Dr. Yamanashi feels it's time to deepen their relationship!

As a research partner, this unorthodox craftsman seems to possess many unknown legends, making him incredibly powerful and capable of having an irreplaceable and significant impact on the history of Pokémon research.

Dr. Yamanashi is now convinced of this, just as Ran had said!
"If you have time, come to my research institute. We haven't met in person yet!"

"Hikari, I see. You're planning to entrust the egg to her?"

"To be honest, I don't have much of a relationship with Professor Shinhara. He lives too far away from us. So I was quite surprised when he came to me asking me to recruit trainers. However, I'm a bit troubled because I don't have any suitable candidates."

"So, you're with the Pokémon Ranger. And you mentioned Dawn. Since even you think she's an excellent trainer, then she must indeed be a very trustworthy child."

"I recently gave her my starter Pokémon and hoped she could help me investigate all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh region."

"Based on previous messages and reports, her current location should be..."

------

Sinnoh region, Zhuqing City.

After crossing the vast ocean from the Unova region, with the help of Victini, Crane and Starhawk finally caught up with the speed of the Lightmoss.

As darkness began to fall, the closer we flew to Sinnoh, the more we felt that time was changing abnormally. Night seemed to fall particularly quickly, which was because there was a time difference of more than ten hours between the two regions.

Hefu sighed, "When we set off from Unova, the sun had just set, but it was still pitch black near Sinnoh. By the time we reached Sinnoh's homeland, dawn had already broken."

"Because the speed is so fast, it feels like I've traveled through time; it's a bit unreal. When I fly to other regions before, I always rest for a while on Staraptor's back, and I've never experienced such a rapid transition between day and night." Lightmoss: "Oh, is this how you adjust to the time difference? But the closer you get to Sinnoh, the more you can feel the passage of time; that's normal. When Dialga was born, time in the present world began to flow like a mighty river."

He Fu waved her hand: "Dialga, a Pokémon from the Sinnoh Legend, is the god who controls time. But regardless of whether it controls the flow of time quickly or slowly, for me, sleeping anytime and anywhere is a basic operation for a ranger."

As she said this, she yawned and stretched.

[He Fu used the words "Yawn" and "Slacking Off".]
Guangtai thought to herself, while saying:
"If we hadn't gone to the United States, we could have traveled from Almia to Fire and then back from Fire, and we wouldn't have had to experience this strange feeling."

He Fu: "That's different. If I hadn't taken the detour to Unova, I wouldn't have been able to gather so much detailed information! Meeting you is necessary!"

"Alright, it's 6:30 in the morning now. Should we wait here for that trainer to arrive? Or should we find a place to rest for a while?"

"City of Joy, a city of happiness where everyone gathers, is one of the most modern and developed towns in the Sinnoh region. It's bustling with people and incredibly lively!"

"It's only early morning, and there are already so many people out here. And it's really cold here! Wow, just like the snow country in the Armia region, the temperature is really low."

"It is said that the northern Snow Peak City is as cold as the Cold Water Valley and the Frosty Camp in Almia, with snow all year round that never melts."

Hikari: "Professor Yamanashi said she's heading back from Ogre City. It seems she's successfully passed the first gym. Congratulations!"

If you don't beat the first gym, then you can use the Prince of the Sea to challenge the Rock Gym, right?
Although Dawn's starter Pokémon is basically Piplup in every version, it seems that in Master Pokémon's world, the starter Pokémon is Turtwig.

But as long as you don't choose Chimchar, you can easily beat the first gym with any of them.

Furthermore, even if you choose Infernape, it's fine, because the second gym is Grass-type, so you won't encounter the "choosing Chikorita = going to jail" situation that exists in the Johto region. The difficulty distribution of Sinnoh's starter Pokémon and gym battles is quite good.

However, Hikari's speed was quite fast. According to Dr. Yamanashi, she had only set off recently, but she had already arrived in Black Gold City. Although it seemed insignificant, it was actually quite astonishing.
Because Black Gold City is located at the foot of Mt. Coronet, while Futaba Town is at the western end of the Sinnoh region.

"Game Hikari is faster and stronger than anime Hikari. He reached Black Gold City in just a few days, and he was even faster than Plantina from the manga, all on his own two legs. He truly lives up to his reputation as a descendant of Hikari."

"By the way, did she bring the Celestial Flute with her?"

Bictini was sitting on Hefu's head, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and she couldn't even feel any weight. Moreover, she was now very interested in Bictini and fell into deep thought for a long time after checking the encyclopedia.

Mythical Pokémon, Victory Pokémon, the legend of the Unova region, actually travels with the person in front of me. Those who know the legend will be followed by the legend. This thought popped into Hefu's mind.

The matter concerning crystals also greatly surprised He Fu.
The crystal still contains the souls of ancient princes, and can even communicate with certain people.

The princes seemed to be worried about something important. This made He Fu feel that the Alliance's investigation into the crystal was still too slow.

and also--

"We've only just arrived in the Sinnoh region, and something unsettling has already happened. Who's following us?"

"Come out!"

With a flick of her arm, He Fu sent the Beyblade flying like a cannonball, and the sound of someone being struck by the Beyblade's beam echoed from a corner of the city!
Lightmoss: "Hey, although the hunting sling has the function of attacking humans, this is the first time I've seen a regular ranger use it like this."

He Fu shook her wrist: "The attack function was added when Professor Shinhara designed it. It can not only attack automatically but also retrieve itself. Isn't that convenient? My hunting cursor is also the advanced version among all cursors."

"Professor Shinhara is currently developing an updated cursor; who knows, it might have other uses in the future!"

"Ouch!" The man in the trench coat who was hit fell to the ground with a thud, even knocking over the trash can next to him, from which two bottles of antidote rolled out.

He Fu revealed a wary expression. As the chief patrol officer, she had seen many strange trackers and members of various bizarre organizations, so she immediately prepared for battle!
"Starhawk, use Brave Bird—"

"Wait, wait, wait!" The square-faced man in the brown trench coat immediately raised his hand to stop He Fu's attack: "If the Brave Bird attacks, I'll die!"

"At first I didn't see clearly. In the early morning of Zhuqing City, especially in the city's darkness, there were two people talking in hushed tones. They looked like members of a mysterious organization with ill intentions. They definitely didn't have good intentions. I thought they had discovered a suspicious person."

He Fu: "Huh? You weren't whispering at all! You must be hard of hearing! But you were eavesdropping on our conversation! Looks like we can't let you leave so easily!"

Guangtai looked at Hefu with great surprise: "Why do I have this feeling that you're going to silence me?"

He Fu smiled confidently: "The chief ranger can assign himself tasks, which means there are no worries or restrictions! But I don't intend to kill him, I just want to capture him and bring him to Officer Jenny in the area."

"We're on an important mission right now, so we need to eliminate any potential anomalies!"

"I said wait a minute!" The man in the trench coat looked helplessly at the menacing-looking Hawk, who seemed ready to attack at any moment. He immediately waved his hand and explained, "I didn't see clearly at first! Actually, it's like this: I'm not a bad guy! I'm a righteous person tracking down bad guys!"

He Fu revealed a mysterious smile: "In a dark corner of the city, hiding under a broken streetlamp, a man in a trench coat squatting by a trash can, claiming he's not a bad person, could he not be a member of some mysterious organization? No matter how you look at it, you're the more suspicious one, aren't you?"

"Are you rummaging through the trash, looking for potions or gold beads that someone threw away?"

The man in the trench coat: "...I...but there really is medicine in the trash can. The trash can isn't empty!"

"Oh! I'm so sorry!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the vest you're wearing belongs to a Ranger from the Ranger Alliance! But you don't have an armband indicating your ranger rank, and your equipment is different from that of a regular Ranger."

Guangtai: "Her Ranger level is 11, which is above the highest level of Ranger by 10. She is known as the Chief in the Ranger Alliance. There are only 10 people in the alliance, which is why she doesn't have an armband."

“Miss He Fu, this person is not an enemy; he should be an international police officer.”

"Hey!" The man in the trench coat widened his eyes. "Wh-what? How did you know I'm an Interpol agent?!"

"I see! You must have realized I'm no ordinary person to say that! Your insight is truly admirable!"

"Now that my true identity has been revealed, please allow me to introduce myself. I am—"

Lightmoss: "An international police officer protecting world peace, codenamed [Handsome Guy], alias [Ota Shurou], formerly known as [836]. There's an organization in the Sinnoh region that's stealing other people's Pokémon, but not for sale, but to unlock the secret of [Evolutionary Energy]. So you're here searching for them, aren't you?"

"However, because of the local champion's activity, that organization should not be making any overly flamboyant moves for the time being. So why did you still show up here as promised? Are you staking out someone? Or are you staking out two people as well?"

The venue was completely silent.

The handsome man stared wide-eyed; everything he was about to say had already been said. But the more important question was—

The other party not only knew my code name, but also my alias, and even—the code name I used years ago!

Handsome guy: "You! Who exactly are you?!"

"Nice to meet you. My codename is [Shield]." Guangtai nodded to the dumbfounded handsome man: "I belong to the International Police Special Affairs Agency, UB Countermeasures Headquarters. The salary in this department is really high, but I think this department wasn't called this before."

"You miss this department, don't you, handsome?"
