Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 557 It's common knowledge that power plants regularly spawn lightning-type Pokémon.
The battle in the lobby on the first floor has also come to a conclusion.

Jupiter's third Pokémon was also defeated by Dawn. The strong woman looked at the panting girl in front of her in disbelief. She did not understand and was greatly shocked.

Despite being a low-level Pokémon, it can unleash such tremendous battle power with the boost from the weather. But if it were just about the weather, even Pokémon would use it!
Is the sandstorm weather not that severe, or is the correct term "Huoxing" used?
Xiao Guang still harbored considerable resentment towards Sui Xing's previous assessment, and thus couldn't help but strongly refute it:

"I'm really sorry if I'm not cute. Anyway, in everyone's impression, I'm a violent girl. But when it comes to fighting, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little violent. It's better than losing!"

"Just like what Mr. Moss and Ms. Cynthia said! As long as you use the right power, even stronger Pokémons and trainers can be defeated!"

"This is the power of rain!"

Hearing this comment, Sui Xing was also very annoyed:

"To think that a rookie trainer could beat you so badly, deliberately letting you win, your carelessness is truly terrifying."

Although she knew she was just being stubborn, Suixing could feel her body trembling.

His poor form, command errors, and lack of battle instincts were all due to the fact that behind the rookie trainer in front of him stood the champion of the Sinnoh region!
And, that guy upstairs... that guy who beat me to a pulp!
He was upstairs. Suixing could feel Guangtai's familiar presence. Her body trembled involuntarily as fear surged up inside her. Zhulan noticed this.

"Oh, do you care about him a lot?"

Zhu Lan cleared away all the thugs blocking the doorway, then, stroking her delicate chin thoughtfully, asked the disheveled Sui Xing, "You're not in good shape. It's not just because you were suppressed by Xiao Guang, but also because you were frightened by him?"

"Did the battle in Zhuqing City scare you? That's normal, because that guy is also a [Champion]."

Jupiter's pupils suddenly contracted:
"What did you say?"

Cynthia smiled slightly: "A trainer who enters the Hall of Fame may not inherit the regional champion's seat, but the essence of a champion will not change."

"The person who encountered you by chance in the city of Jubilee and completely defeated you is the new champion of the Unova region. He is also an old friend of mine, the guardian of myths and ruins, and the one who knows everything."

"He also runs a special shop where the use, sale, and production of various props are his forte. Therefore, it's normal that you would be beaten by him without any chance to fight back in Zhuqing City. No one is better than him when it comes to using props."

"I heard from him that he's interested in you because your specialty is the [Nature's Grace] tactic. Using different tree fruits to launch attacks of all attributes is quite a subtle technique."

Upon hearing about the technique "Nature's Grace," Zhu Lan immediately thought of the ruins of the Divine Capital.

In Cynthia's knowledge, only Arceus is capable of using different types of power in battle.

Of course, Cynthia doesn't rule out the possibility that there are other similar Pokémon. But at least she hasn't seen them.

Therefore, Zhulan finds the unique move "Nature's Grace," which utilizes tree fruits for all-attribute output, very interesting!
"This power is like a Pokémon from mythology. Right, that's what Team Galactic is looking for, isn't it?"

"We know all about your plans and goals, as well as the mastermind behind it all, including his ideals. We just haven't been able to find any dirt on him. Is he really that cautious because he dislikes conflict?"

Sui Xing didn't know how to respond. All of his plans had been leaked or made known, and even the boss's personal information had been exposed. This was something that no ordinary mole could do.

Pluto... Is it really Pluto? Does he really have that kind of ability, or does the boss trust him to that extent?
What a despicable traitor!

As Jupiter thought this to himself, he unconsciously looked towards the ceiling!
Pluto has remained silent, as has the planet. The fierce battle on the upper levels seems to have subsided! Meanwhile, the sounds of explosions and crashes into the lake can be heard outside—the helicopters have been shot down!

Jupiter: "So that's how it is. The guy he praised was also a [Champion]. I was really unlucky to be caught by two [Champions] at the same time!"

"Does this mean you even know the details of the Valley Power Plant project? And when exactly did the other projects begin? Just how deep has your investigation into us gone? How is that possible?!"

Zhu Lan: "We probably knew about it before your plan was even finalized."

Of course, Zhu Lan said this only to put more psychological pressure on Jupiter and to create the illusion that there was a mole in Team Galactic.

As expected, Jupiter's expression changed instantly. She thought a lot and guessed that the traitor in the Galactic Cluster was not just Hades!
There's at least one more person!

Moreover, it can access all instructions and intelligence!
So, excluding the leader who knows the whole plan, could it be that the last mole is actually Zhenxing?
This isn't impossible, because Zhenxing has sometimes said that extreme actions won't change anything, and he joined not because he was attracted by Team Galactic's principles, nor for money, nor because he was captivated by Akatsuki's personality.
"Damn it, how did Team Galactic become like this!"

Due to her fear, Jupiter began to have wild thoughts. With poor command and confused mind, her last Pokémon, Vine, was also in a tough battle!

Grass-type giant vines should have fewer weaknesses in rainy weather, but the Piplup family is special because...
Because its prototype is a bird, it can also learn flying-type moves!

"【Pecking the Drill】!"

Although Piplup undergoes a great evolution during battle, and when it evolves to its final form, it is the only [Water/Steel] type Pokémon in the entire Pokédex! However, Dawn's Piplup seems to have its own ideas!

It did not choose to evolve in battle! Therefore, even when white light appeared on its body, it endured it!

Building upon the flying move "Peck," the next step is to learn "Peck Drill," which boasts a power of 80!
For Piplup, the difference between physical and special attack is not significant, so it doesn't matter which move it uses!
"Giant vine, [tickle]!"

In desperation, Jupiter commanded the giant vines to use a unique binding technique, which reduced the opponent's attack and defense capabilities by waving the vines. This technique may seem insignificant, but it can easily weaken the opponent's strength in battle!

However, after unleashing a powerful pecking strike, Bogarman neither dodged nor evaded, weaving through the vines, and—

It flashed a confident smile!
Although tickling will make Bogarman laugh, there are two different things: laughing voluntarily and laughing passively!
"Boga!"

"Trait: Competitive!" Xiao Guang finally understood how to use the rare trait, Competitive!

"In battle, whenever one's own abilities are reduced, their potential will be immediately unleashed, greatly increasing their special attack! This ability will be triggered regardless of which ability is reduced!"

That's right. No matter if any of its stats, such as Attack, Defense, Special Defense, Special Attack, or Speed, is reduced, the Competitive ability will be triggered. Therefore, although Piplup's Defense is reduced, its Special Attack is at its maximum level!
This is indeed far more powerful than [Riptide]! It can be said to possess the characteristic of infinite possibilities!
Bogarman's special attack has reached 13,000 points!

Hikari: "Floating Weasel, use [Help]!"

"Bogarman! [Blizzard]!"

Although Piplup is weak, it has a very rich pool of Water-type moves. As Water and Ice are inseparable, even in its basic form, it can still learn powerful moves like Ice Beam or Blizzard through TM!
Even when exposed, the blizzard has a 70% hit rate! Inside buildings, there's not much space to maneuver, and the giant vine's speed will severely hinder its movement, making it difficult for it to dodge!

The cold wind and snow blew, and unsurprisingly struck the giant vine, causing this primitive plant, which was twice as weak to ice, to collapse with a loud crash!

Jupiter stared blankly as his trump card was defeated, and this time he couldn't bring himself to say the words "let them throw the game"!

Being out of sorts is indeed the root cause of failure, but you can't deceive yourself by saying that the opponent is very weak! That's wrong!
"How could it be so powerful! That Piplup was just a starter Pokémon and not even Ice-type. Even if it was hit by Helping Hand, it couldn't possibly..."

"It's [Irresistible Ice]!" Xiao Guang breathed slightly, a small, strange piece of ice hidden in Bogarman's feathers.

That's exactly the kind of item that can increase the power of ice-attribute moves!

Because Jupiter was informed of its trump card in advance, it carried this item, while another Pokémon, Drifter, had a blue gem called "Mystery Drop" hidden in its fur!
The Mysterious Water Drop is a water-attribute item that can enhance the power of water-attribute moves! It's a common battle-boosting item!
"That means you won't have any Pokémon left to battle!"

Xiao Guang's clothes were completely soaked by the rain, but she herself was very happy and excited!
The incident at the Valley Power Plant happened very suddenly. With a strong sense of justice, after hearing the full story and the terrible consequences, she resolutely decided to participate in the battle and was determined to hone her skills.

And this is naturally the kind of personality the protagonist should possess!

Zhu Lan was quite impressed with the battle, and even felt a sense of awe:

"Dawn, you're truly amazing! You've only been on your journey for a short time, and you've only been taught by Moss for a few days, yet your battle skills as a trainer have improved by such a rapid pace! Your Pokémon have also grown tremendously in this short period of time through battles!"

"Is it because Hikari's knowledge is abundant, accurate, and of a high enough teaching level, or is Hikari simply very talented? This really reminds me of something the shopkeeper once said."

"Whenever history undergoes dramatic changes, a young person with unwavering confidence will inevitably step forward and stand at the center of the stage. What I want to do is not to fight alone, but to stand up for them when they face life-changing choices, guide them, and provide them with the greatest help as a strong and reliable support."

"I see. Perhaps this is the underlying logic of this world. A child with an ancient bond with the Crimson Sun embarks on a journey and grows up at an astonishing speed. His existence is like the history of Sinnoh. This is also Arceus's choice!"

Cynthia herself acknowledges those myths and metaphysics, after all, there are quite a few people with such qualities in Sinnoh.

Aside from themselves, Wang Luo, the shopkeeper, even the designer Gao Di from Baiyang Town, and the successors of Mijina all seemed to believe in some special prophecy and thought that those things would definitely happen.

"However, the shopkeeper's teaching level is beyond doubt. He said that he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Padiya region and also served as a special lecturer at the academy. That's really impressive."

Jupiter closed his eyes: "Is this the end for me? All the members of Team Galactic are such useless trash!"

There was no way to escape from the Sinnoh champion, and the fear was getting closer and closer until his back started to feel hot.

The intense heat of the upper layer has transformed into hot air, which is constantly blowing towards the lower layer, while the raging wind and rain outside the door give people a refreshing feeling. Therefore, I feel as if I am caught between sunny and rainy days, enduring physical and mental torment!

"Huo Xing. That guy lost cleanly too! I wanted to say that I was deeply ashamed to be ranked as a cadre with her, but I can't seem to say such a thing after being defeated by a little girl."

".I surrender."

------

2F, power plant.

Huo Xing's expression changed; her eyes lost their sparkle.
"Are you serious? Lord Akatsuki really intends to abandon us all the moment the new world is born? Are those Galactic Team guys just useless, incomplete creatures? Does he really think that way? But even so, I..."

"We, Team Galactic, have come together to create a better new world! After we destroy this old world, we will meet again in the new world!"

"You're trying to bewitch me!"

Guangtai shook her head: "Incitement? No, it's just a fact, and 150 years ago, someone else had the same idea."

Interestingly, the oldest Galactic Team originally came to Seishiro to explore and develop a world free from conflict.

The new era's Galactic Team, while also aiming for a world without conflict, has adopted a different approach: destroying the world and then creating a new one. Moreover, Wang Luo has already accomplished this feat.

And most interestingly, something seems to have happened in the storyline of the Pokémon Masters mobile game.
Wang Luo kept urging the champions to put on the Al set, but in the end he still couldn't put on the set himself, which made him furious. He also tried to join forces with Chi Ri, but was rebuffed by Chi Ri.

[Red Sun: This plan isn't perfect.]

[Wang Luo: Chi Ri! Why are you helping them!?]

When it comes to reshaping the world, your interests are aligned with mine!

[Red Sun: You can't even awaken and equip the Arceus set, so I really don't think you can tame Arceus. In this situation, it's more likely that someone on their side will be recognized by Arceus and obtain that power. My judgment is quite reasonable. After all, I have no record of working with you. If you're a businessman, you should at least sign a contract first.]

[Wang Luo: You're all ganging up on me, aren't you?]

Such a wonderful conversation took place.

Lightmoss: "Once Crimson Sun achieves his goal, he will disappear completely from your sight and will never let you defile his new world."

"However, this matter is destined to fail, and even the Japanese may suffer a heavy blow and die."

"So, if you die, then nothing exists anymore?"

"I believe you think the same way about this: If Chi Ri dies, if he disappears, how will you live? As an ordinary girl? That's impossible."

Huo Xing's expression changed several times:
"Why do I think the boss is bound to fail? Just because you and Sinnoh are champions? No, you're lying to me!"

"So, I can't be sure what you're saying is true, even though I had a strange feeling after the battle. What exactly was that feeling?"

Guangtai: "Even if it were Akari who came to fight, the result would be the same. He hates fighting and doesn't have that much power."

After all, the Red Sun team is not strong. The whole team is weak to rock. If he sends out the White Giant, an 80-level Salt Rock Giant can send the entire Red Sun team to their doom with one punch.

The oppressive atmosphere only exists in the comics, but in the comics, Akari admits his problems and clears his name.

In the game, after a series of defeats and hearing the devastating news of Dawn's victory over Giratina, Rikki became enraged, transforming into Roaring Tiger. He first threatened, then roared loudly, before uttering a series of harsh words and leaving the field, never to be seen again. "Of course, there's only one thing I truly agree with Team Galactic."

Amidst the shocked and speechless gazes of the planet, Lightmoss revealed a secret of Team Galactic—

"【Don't be shy, drink as much as you want, replenish your energy】. There are plenty of chilled drinks in the Galaxy Team's base refrigerator, which I think is great!"

"So, can you completely believe me now?"

Huo Xing's expression became extremely interesting.

Well, although it's not a major secret, it's the smallest details in life that reveal the truthfulness of what the other person says.

Star: "Just how much do you actually know about Team Galaxy?"

Light Moss: "How much do you know? Perhaps more than Mr. Red Sun himself!"

Do you know the origins of Team Galactic?

"Long ago, someone believed that the talents and abilities of his subordinates were like the stars in the Milky Way, so he named the team Galaxy. The second captain promised to pass on the name and achievements of Galaxy Team to his descendants."

Huo Xing fell silent once again, his mind in turmoil.

As a member of Team Galactic, he should never take orders from outsiders. The only one who can command him is Boss Crimson Sun, even if Crimson Sun has never cared about them. However, the one thing he absolutely cannot do is give orders to Boss Crimson Sun's life.
At the same time, Huoxing finally understood why Suixing always said she had fear. That invisible fear was playing out right in front of her. It was a feeling of helplessness and fear that no matter what secrets she had, they would be found out!

We are afraid because we are invisible!
"I assure you, Chi Ri will survive and change his worldview, and then you can follow him more happily. The location of the final battle will not change, and the entanglement of myth and history over the past 150 years will come to a complete end."

"Destroying the world within the world is impossible."

"I've tried my best but I don't get any understanding? But I can understand a little bit."

"For you, the world where the blazing sun exists is the most beautiful world, isn't it?"

Faced with Guangtai's "verbal temptation," coupled with that inexplicable sense of trust, the loss and confusion after being defeated, and the intense unease in his heart, Huoxing nodded slightly after being stunned for a while.

"I see."

Then, Huo Xing looked deeply at Guang Tai, suddenly seemed a little dazed, and murmured:
“Jingang Shenhe looks about the same age as me, but he is very old-fashioned and seems to know everything.”

"What a strange person. I've completely lost."

--------

After being captured, Sui Xing saw Guang Tai coming down from the second floor, but she didn't see Huo Xing, which surprised her greatly.

"It really was you! I still can't forget that feeling of fear. But someone with your strength couldn't have let Huo Xing escape successfully! You let her go on your own, why?"

Jupiter harbored deep doubts: "Why is the champion of the Unova region interfering with our operations?"

Lightmoss was quite surprised: "Are you kidding me? Do you really want to blow up Sinnoh? But even without me, your defeat was already destined and unchangeable."

"It's bad to underestimate others and overestimate your own strength. You should learn to be humble. However, please leave here."

"It was indeed I who let Huoxing go; she still had important work to finish."

Sui Xing: "That's impossible! Huo Xing would never be turned! Although I don't like her, she is absolutely loyal to the boss!"

Guangtai: "She didn't betray us. On the contrary, her departure this time should be described as 'saving' us, right?"

"You don't want to see Red Sun get into trouble either, do you, Jupiter? You should have some loyalty, but you remain indifferent to whether Sinnoh will disappear. That's why I thought you had experienced tragedy before."

"It's understandable that people who have experienced tragedy would hate everything. The leaders or executives of the mysterious organizations in each region are basically chosen on a whim in this way."

Faced with Guangtai's half-joking remark, Suixing felt extremely humiliated, but had no way to refute it.

Even if you fight, you're no match for them; rebuttals are pointless and will only make you look incompetent!

"So, Hikaru, is the [Rainy Day Team]'s strength considered powerful?"

Guangtai looked at Xiaoguang, who had changed her clothes at some point. Otherwise, she would have caught a cold wearing wet clothes. Of course, given her constitution, she might not have gotten sick.

"That's amazing! I never knew the weather had such a powerful force!"

Hwang exclaimed sincerely, looking at his Pokémon: "I feel the power of water! Storms and rain... no matter how strong the enemy, they will be defeated!"

Lightmoss: "We're still missing the last piece of the puzzle: water, wind, and one of the core elements of the rain team—lightning!"

"Let us go find the friends of the Crimson Sun and complete the final Rainy Day General!"

Lancelot was watching over Jupiter and the other Team Galactic members when the sound of police sirens rang out outside the power plant, indicating that nearby police forces had arrived.

The handsome guy sneaked in ahead of time, successfully rescued the hostages, and led them to safety. This was a great achievement compared to his original storyline where he belatedly arrived to investigate!
Cynthia: "Phew, thanks to your prophecy, the power plant was spared from being completely drained of power or even blown up. The bomb is being defused now, and it's all thanks to those wild Psyducks you found! The power of the Water type is truly amazing!"

"It's a pity that half of Sinnoh's power supply has been affected, the generators have malfunctioned, and [Pluton] was not found in the building."

Zhu Lan gave Sui Xing a meaningful look, while Sui Xing responded angrily, "Anyway, he's a traitor. That guy never understood the boss's ideals. He should have found a way to escape long ago!"

"Hmph, the power plant isn't drawing enough electricity, just as you said. The [Galaxy Bomb] can't be made."

“Even with incomplete power, a bomb can still be made.” Lightmoy looked at the dumbfounded Jupiter: “There are two Galaxy Bombs. Your plan is that the first one is a test explosion, and the second one is the real, complete bomb, right?”

"The test explosion will take place in Nohara City, and the package will be taken to the Great Wetlands as a regular parcel. Although we don't know when this plan will begin, do you think it will be taken there so easily?"

Jupiter: "You!"

Lightmoy: "Even after being captured, you remained loyal, and even tried to conceal and mislead? But it was all in vain, Jupiter, there's one more thing."

"That means I still have to learn from you the grace of nature!"

"Of course, before that, we can restore power to the power plants!"

In the special episode, the task of collecting energy from the power plant was accomplished by Gosling with Electivire. This is probably because, firstly, Electivire was introduced in Generation IV, and secondly, in terms of its power level, it is among the highest of the Electric Pokémon.

Once it is fully charged, blue and white sparks will burst violently between its two horns. Just one Electabuzz can provide all the electricity needed for a large city's buildings for a year.

"Power supply from the power plant."

As expected, Cynthia was somewhat puzzled: "The power from the Valley Power Plant is transmitted to various parts of Sinnoh, it's not just the electricity of one city, the energy here is quite vast, and it would take some effort to restore its operation."

Do you have any powerful Electric-type Pokémon?

Lightmoss: "Of course there are! And more than one, speaking of lightning—"

"The ancient thunder dragon capable of manipulating heavenly thunder, the Mighty Thunder Drum!"

Rumble!
A huge golden body appeared in the power plant, and the Thunder Drum was slightly dissatisfied with the fact that the ceiling of the power plant was a bit low!
Then, the Radiant Moss opened another Poké Ball:

"The Cyber ​​Dragon of the Future City: Iron Serpent Milton!"

"Ah!" Milton yawned as it came out. Its electronic eyes blinked, and it was naturally happy to help generate electricity.

As long as you don't get into fights with powerful enemies, random battles are really unfriendly; official competitions are much more fun!

"These two Pokémon are incredibly powerful! Ampharos?!" Cynthia was also shocked. Just looking at them, she could feel the electric currents jumping around their bodies. Under Moss's command, powerful thunder and electrical power began to operate!

Intense electric light filled the power plant. Near the generator, Millerton activated the hadron engine and set up an electric field!
The Thunder Drum roared loudly, and a huge current surged through its body!

"Power Up!"

The power plant's power supply has been restored!
Zhu Lan stared in awe at the dazzling lightning before her.

"For an Electric-type Pokémon, its power generation is simply enormous! Electivire, no, Electivire that can supply electricity to an entire city, is nowhere near comparable!"

"That means the generator can run normally! It will definitely last until the repairs are completed, and power will be restored to other cities in the Sinnoh region! We really owe you a debt of gratitude!"

Lightmoss: "You're welcome. However, the power plant is a special location, you know?"

Seeing the stunned Zhu Lan and Xiao Guang, Guang Tai went to the corridor and looked out through the window.

"Power plants in each region, due to their massive power supply, occasionally attract special Pokémon. Have you heard the story of the unmanned power plants in the Kanto region?"

"The same Pokémon also exists in the Sinnoh region. For some reason, it is attracted by strong electricity and the lightning near Mt. Coronet and wanders around the Sinnoh region."

"Although the Valley Power Plant is not the main body of Mt. Coronet, it is an extension of the mountain range. Therefore, its powerful electricity will shoot straight into the sky, and may then attract a certain Pokémon."

"When I released Huoxing just now, I vaguely saw something similar. Now, it's flying over!"

Guangtai picked up the hunting harpoon and ran to the roof of the power plant. By the time Zhulan and Xiaoguang came up, the dark shadow that appeared on the horizon had revealed its true form!
It landed on the mountain near the power plant, keeping a close eye on the lightning shooting into the sky!
Hikaru, surprised, opened the encyclopedia: "What is that?"

Lightmoss: "The legendary Pokémon, Zapdos! A legendary bird Pokémon that can manipulate lightning at will. It is said that its nest is located in a dark thundercloud, and its silhouette can be seen when the thundercloud splits into two."

"It makes a crackling sound when it flies, thunderclaps when it flaps its wings, and intense lightning when it flaps its dazzling wings. It roams throughout the Sinnoh region. Come to think of it, although it's a legendary bird Pokémon, it seems like you can see more than one in every region!"

"Besides, it always appears near power plants! Let's borrow some of its electricity!"

Zapdos in unmanned power plants is a classic catching location. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, because there were people inside the power plants in Kanto, Zapdos couldn't go home and could only sit at the door like a little chicken, pitifully unattended.

Factory manager: Don't let these mere mythical beasts interfere with our money-making!

But to be honest, the man-made power plant doesn't actually belong to it; this guy is just here to freeload.

Moreover, this guy is also a key member of the Rain Team! He's the core of [Lightning]!

Before the appearance of Giant Electric Seagull in Violet, it was the only Pokémon with STAB Hurricane and Thunder!

"Hunting, begin!"

As the Beyblade flew out, a white halo circled around the bewildered Zapdos several times!
Zapdos was speechless after learning about the request from the Radiant Moss!
"ah!"

It was only attracted by the electricity here to mooch a meal, but then this human was waving at it and asking it what it wanted to do.

You want me to charge the power plant?!

Holy crap, you, you, you've completely turned the world upside down! This is outrageous!
Who's going to make up for my missed dinner?

"Don't look so sad!" Moss comforted Zapdos, who had been dragged into this forced work. "Oh, you have some special berries on you. Can I borrow them?"

"【Candlewood Fruit】, the energy from the lightning strikes on the ground has made this fruit grow large and plump!"

Zapdos: ".?"

How could you eat and take things at the same time!
