Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 565 New Battle Techniques: Pokémon Without Weaknesses!
The arrival of a new companion should have been a happy occasion, but Shemira's personality is not talkative, and as a Ghost Pokémon, it has also aroused the jealousy of another Pokémon.

Zhenyi stared at Guichan with great displeasure. After hearing about the exaggerated nature of the ability [Amazing Protect], she couldn't understand how such an overpowered ability could appear on a wild Pokémon, especially since this one was just a roadside monster!

However, upon learning that the ghost attribute could inflict extremely effective damage on him, Zhenyifa revealed his standard little devil smile.

That's it!

I thought they were truly invincible! They made me so jealous!

If even a random monster on the roadside is stronger than me, a Ghost Hunter, then my status in the team will plummet, won't it?
The strongest Ghost Pokémon after Aegislash can only be me!

Whether it's the money-grabbing spirit or Little Luo who cooks, they both have to wait their turn! Besides, those two almost never fight! They don't even get a chance to make a move!

"Ha-ba-ba~ Ha?"

Do you think you can steal my weak trainer and make him abandon me just because of the ability to protect me?
it's out of the question!

From now on, you'll be ranked below me, you noob newbie!
However, no matter how Zhenyi mocked or even laughed, Guichan remained unmoved. Its face showed no change in expression, and its emotions were very stable, which Guangtai could even sense.

This guy is in a good mood.

I didn't hear what Zhenyi was saying at all!
"Although I got beaten up, I'm in a good mood."

"Although I was laughed at, I'm in a good mood."

"Even though I'm not doing anything, I'm in a great mood."

Hmm~ You asked me? My favorite thing to do is sleep. My second favorite is eating, even though I can't eat much. So why do I like eating? That's a question worth thinking about.

So, what I really enjoy is thinking about problems—when I'm pondering the future of our race, I often lose track of time—hmm.
Take care of your health! Health comes first, right? Yeah.
"."

The answer lies in the emotions of the Shedding Shell Ninja.

"In the Sinnoh region, there is a special person who can interpret the feelings of Pokémon through their footprints. He is known as Dr. Footprint, or Budemachi."

"All Pokémon footprints can be divided into five types, and among these five types, there are [Pokémon with footprints] and [Pokémon without footprints]."

"It's quite rare that although Shedinja doesn't have any feet, it's classified as a Pokémon with footprints. Perhaps it inherited Ninjado's personality and some of his soul traits, which is why it's classified this way."

"The footprints of the Shedding Shell Ninja are slow-moving. While this doesn't necessarily reflect their true personalities, it is a trait that complements their character."

"This type of Pokémon doesn't seem to care about anything you ask. Sometimes it will do things its own way, thinking about things on its own, and doesn't care at all about how others evaluate it."

Guangtai soothed the agitated and annoyed Zhenyifa, who felt a sense of loss for the first time. Even when Guangtai was lecturing him, he had never felt so speechless and frustrated!
"Hahaha!"

Why, why are you ignoring me?

I'm talking to you, hey!
".(Uh-huh)."

That was how Oni-chan answered, and then it went off to think about other things. However, Hikari-moss, sensing its mood, realized that it seemed to be thinking about nothing at all.

Professor Footprint can decipher Pokémon's feelings and language, and perhaps Neptune's ability to converse with Pokémon is inspired by his creation. Interestingly, different types of Pokémon utter very unique phrases at different stages of their lives.
If the Pokémon's friendship level with the protagonist is not high, the Pokémon will complain about the protagonist.

Why do I keep using other Pokémon? Is it because I'm not very useful? If so, I might as well have stayed in the wild. No, maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Let me try harder for a while longer.

Looking at the emotions that Grimmian was expressing, she thought of the interesting information that Professor Footprint could give to players, which made the Pokémon, which were just data, seem to really come to life.

Then, Guangtai looked at Zhenyifa and tried to understand her feelings.

It wasn't just resentment and frustration towards Onichan, but also regret for himself and an eagerness to be of help before!

Despite being a Ghost-type Pokémon, it failed to find the true form of Shemira and was instead forced to hunt ghosts as a Fighting-type Kushner apprentice. This made Visor feel that it might be useless, leading to a very bad attitude towards Shemira and even jealousy.

[They made me their companion, but they hardly need my help! Do they think I'm incompetent? Or are they already starting to regret it? That's what I was thinking at first.]

However, perhaps there are no Pokémon that hate humans, only humans who hate Pokémon. I am a Pokémon that is easily disliked, and it has always been that way, but you have always been very kind to me. Please care about me a little more.

Therefore, losing face is unacceptable! I absolutely must!

Guangtai deciphered Zhenyi's inner thoughts and nodded incredulously: "You are the [Terrible Type], and you've already reached [Stage Five]? I didn't realize your intimacy level had risen so high."

"Haha?!" Zhenyi was taken aback, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. After blushing, he flapped his wings unhappily for a while to vent his anger!

Minion trainers, don't try to read other people's thoughts here!
Anyway, I messed up again this time, and embarrassed myself again! You're probably laughing at me in your heart!
"But you are indeed a general of the Ghost attribute."

Haha! Hehehe~

With just a little praise, Sister Fa, who was originally a bit frustrated and resentful, was slightly taken aback and immediately entered a state of joy and happiness, and her unhappy feelings were instantly thrown to the winds!
In a sense, Zhenyifa's feelings were easier to understand than those of all his companions.
"Of course, Ghost Cicada is also very strong." Guangtai thought to herself, but she couldn't say such things in front of Zhenyifa.

However, it seems that the seemingly indifferent Onichan is not entirely uninterested in the outside world.

When Bictini curiously approached it—

This guy just magically moved to another place!
Lightmoss: "[Swap the venue]?!"

One of Shemira's most troublesome moves, it was used in the Legendary Battles of Generation VIII to wreak havoc on a large number of Legendary Pokémon with the Magic Guard ability. Normally, this is a tutorial move and cannot be learned by leveling up.

"So that's how it is. The reason I was able to run so fast before was because I used [Exchange Field]."

It allows one to teleport instantly using magical powers, swapping their own location with that of their companions. However, it is easy to fail if used consecutively, similar to the ability to defend.

In the team, the Pokémon that possesses this move is Cinnabar, while Deoxys hasn't learned it yet and needs to be taught it sometime. However, since the team chat group is run by aliens, it has probably already secretly learned it.

"Tini?"

Victini stared blankly at the ghost cicada that had moved aside, then looked at its own little paws.

Hey!

The Victini players then understood why Ghost Cicada had suddenly run away!

So it was because it was afraid of fire!

"Not only that, but the ability to accurately predict the timing of the opponent's actions and thus avoid them is because of the use of [Mind's Eye]!"

The ultimate technique in martial arts and combat, Mind's Eye, can only be learned by a select few Pokémon, and Shemira is one of them! This is because its move pool is inherited from the move pool of the other Pokémon before its evolution!
After thinking for a moment, Hikari began to study Oni-chan's move pool.

It seems that tonight, besides making new [masks] and [Life Gems],...
"Shedding Shell Ninja, Crystal Attribute: Electric!"

"Moves. You've got a lot of weird and wonderful skills!"

"Meaningless hardening and desperate fighting. Quick escape and switching sides."

"Reduce PP's [Resentment]. Chaotic [Strange Light], and the sure-hit [Mind's Eye]."

"The abnormal [Poison], the suicidal [Sandstorm], the burning [Phosphorus], and the evasion-enhancing [Shadow Clone]."

"And there's the [Swords Dance] skill inherited from before the evolution. They really benefited from the climate and environment of the Sinnoh region."

Unfortunately, Sword Dance and Baton Pass, these inherited moves from before evolution, are copied from Ninja Mask's moves, so it's almost impossible for a Shiranui to have "Sword Dance + Baton Pass". This is because the learning levels between Sword Dance and Baton Pass are too different in the early stages.

if not
In addition, in later generations, the Shedding Shell Ninja could also learn strange techniques such as [Trickery] and [Telekinesis] through the transmission of techniques.

After further upgrades, you will also learn the even more powerful [Reply Block]!
"Hiss, but if you use the Crystallization technique, the Sandstorm might not be a suicidal move. Wearing dust goggles is a good idea, because the fact that Oni-chan is afraid of the Sandstorm and actively activates it could be quite surprising."

"With the adaptation of Taijing, it will continuously reduce the opponent's HP while remaining unharmed. After Taijing Electric, there is no need to worry about the threat posed by [Knock Off], because Dark-type attacks cannot hit it. At this point, the only threats are [Switcheroo], [Trick], and status conditions."

"Normally, in order to prevent Ghost Cicada from being killed by abnormal status, we will actively apply a [paralyze] status to prevent this problem."

"Sandstorm + Poison/Will-o'-the-Wisp, even if the Crystal Lightning's Ghost Cicada does nothing, it's enough to wear down the opponent. Unless... the opponent has [Breakthrough]."

The reason why Shedinja didn't pass the test in the Padina region is probably because once it uses Crystallize, it becomes quite terrifying with its ability.

However, it seems unnecessary to weaken the Magic Guardian as a result, so simply refusing to grant it a visa would restrict its appearance.

"And that's the lineup... That's settled then!"

"Let Hikari understand a little about the battle styles of Pokémon with no weaknesses and invincibility."

The original plan was for the three ancient dragons to fight together, but now we can change it slightly.

The new team has a very simple composition.

The first one.

After using [Burn Out], the fire attribute becomes [None], leaving only the Crimson Armor Knight with the [Psychic] attribute.

Five weaknesses will be reduced to three, eliminating the weakness to water.

If it doesn't have the Psychic type, it will become a truly typeless Pokémon, such as [Burnout Arcanine], which is a Pokémon that truly has no weaknesses.

The second one.

Under the influence of Taijing [Electricity], a ninja who has shed their skin and carries either a [Balloon] or [Dustproof Goggles].

Teach it some rare and practical techniques. Of course, these are techniques that a Shedding Shell Ninja can learn or be taught, and there is nothing seriously illegal about them. Otherwise, creating a [Sturdy Ghost Cicada] would be invincible.

The third one.

This battle was essentially a training exercise!
Strike the "no blind spot" vibrating wing!
"Yoshita Yuuki, I choose you!"

"The teams are all of varying strengths, so it's not like Xiaoguang has no chance of winning, is it?"

"Moreover, the balloon will burst if it is directly attacked. In actual combat, carrying a balloon may also make it a target for direct attacks by the opponent. But if you put it in the hollow of the back of a Shedding Skin Ninja and place it in that black hole that sucks away souls, since it leads to another dimension, wouldn't there be no problem?"

"If you can't defeat the Shedding Shell Ninja, you can't defeat the balloon either."

"So, Gengar can actually do the same thing, but that's just too illegal!" But in this team, the most legal one is actually Wingfire, who only knows how to repeat its battle moves!

Of course, with her abilities, all she needs to do is know how to repeat a grade!
"Sheepshell, a Pokémon I encountered by chance in my hometown, Banteay City."

"Perhaps it got into a Poké Ball while picking up a Sable Stone Tablet near the Forest Mansion."

A naive personality.

I always enjoy thinking alone, yet my mind is often blank; I do things my own way and amuse myself.

"He possesses many techniques whose meaning is unclear, and occasionally uses them without thinking."

"Accustomed to observing in secret.JPG."

The next day, Hikari waited for a while before heading to the vegetable's dojo.

The mask is finished.

Before that, new moves were configured for the new team members.

They also prepared some wood carvings with modified properties for Xiaoguang.

Surprisingly, a fierce storm raged in the dojo, with thunder and lightning, soaking even the vegetable seeds. This battle also became a classic moment.

"The Battle Between Sunny and Rainy Weather!"

Two of the Vegetable's team members have the Chlorophyll ability and carry Sunny Day. In other words, although they are afraid of Fire-type attacks under Sunny Day, they can use Sunny Day without any worries when facing a Trainer like Dawn who is good at Water!

Guangtai: "Vegetable Seed, so you also study the Sunny Day System!"

"Of course! I'm an expert on the vibrant green Grass-type! Weather is a very important factor in battles right now. Grass-type Pokémon are more energetic in sunny weather, but this is the first time I've encountered an opponent who excels in rain!"

The vegetable seed, ignoring her soaked clothes, waved to the moss, though she seemed exhausted, panting heavily.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such an intense battle between sunny and rainy days. Everything has a first time! To cause such heavy rainfall indoors is just like the natural disaster that happened in the Hoenn region two years ago!"

"Sakura! We've managed to snag a sunny day! Use the paralysis powder!"

The Pokémon that Cai uses to battle Dawn is Sakura, which is unique to the Sinnoh region. In the special episode, Sakura is also one of Plantina's Pokémon!

This Pokémon is one of the few with unique ecological characteristics; its flower buds close on cloudy days and open on sunny days!

It will bloom if the sunlight becomes strong. The pent-up frustration it has endured while in bud stage will be released all at once, and it will be full of vitality.

In *Legendary Arceus*, Sakura is one of only two Pokémon whose ability was not removed; the other is Slowstart ToiletKing. Furthermore, its base stats in ancient times were different from those in modern times!

Modern Sakura's base stats are only 450, while in ancient times, Sakura in Sunny Stance would have base stats of 519, with Special Defense reaching as high as 117!

With double water resistance, Water-type Pokémon simply cannot deal any effective damage to it!

Cai Zhong's cherry blossoms throw out powder that can paralyze Pokémon, but at this moment, Dawn's Pokémon in the battle is, of course, Manaphy!
"Manaphy, [Fill with Courage]!"

Manaphy used the ancient technique she had just acquired!
Courage Filler, an upgraded version of Meditation, rouses you to heal your status conditions and boosts your Special Defense and Special Attack!

The paralysis caused by the paralysis powder has been cured!
"That move can actually recover from abnormal statuses on its own, that's too powerful!" Cai Zhong couldn't help but exclaim, but seeing that Xiao Guang didn't seem to be trying to steal the weather anymore, he became even more confused:

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to keep trying to grab the [Rainy Day] item?"

"Although it boosts Special Defense and Special Attack, the power of Water-type moves is halved under sunny skies, and Solar Beam is instantaneous, meaning it will deal very significant damage to you!"

Xiao Guang nodded and glanced at Guang Tai:
"Those with weather abilities are indeed better at taking advantage of sunny days, but isn't Miss Nagi also constantly trying to take advantage of sunny days? That's because she wants to reduce the effects of [Ice] and prevent being frozen. At the same time, Sakura's ability [Flower Gift] will also be triggered!"

"These are Pokémon that Professor Yamanashi investigated and recorded in his Pokédex!"

"On sunny or bright days, the Attack and Special Defense of all your Pokémon are greatly increased!"

"However, simply grabbing everything isn't a solution. So, I plan to take advantage of the sunny weather."

"Using sunny weather?" Cai Zhong didn't understand what he meant, but then he saw Xiao Guang smile: "That's a move I got from a former Team Galactic member, Jupiter. Mr. Guang Tai recorded that move and gave me a copy of the move learning device."

"It is said that although this is a nearly lost technique, most Pokémon can learn it."

Under Hikaru's command, Manaphy unleashed a powerful burst of fire energy!
Under clear skies, the power of fire-attribute moves will be increased by 1.5 times!
Wow! Cherry blossoms!

Sakura, who is twice as weak to fire, would have been defeated immediately if her Special Defense hadn't been boosted under sunny weather!

The vegetable was shocked: "A Water-type Pokémon used a Fire-type move!"

"[Nature's Grace]!" Xiao Guang pointed to Manaphy, who was clapping her hands continuously:

"This is a move that uses berries to fight, and it seems that any Pokémon can learn it. However, since Pokémon will find the right moment to activate the special effect of the berries during battle, I specifically gave the Prince a [Blackberry] that has no effect."

"The attribute corresponding to the Nature's Grace of the Blackberry is [Fire]!"

A Fire-type move with a power of 70 will increase to 105 in sunny weather! This is twice as effective against Fire-type moves, equivalent to a move with a power of 210!
Furthermore, Manaphy's Special Attack has been increased by one level!
Vegetable seed: "Cherry blossoms, [Morning Light]!"

Xiao Guang: "Manaphy, [Firefly]!"

Firefly is a move that Manaphy is born with. As the strongest boosting move in the Pokémon world, it can instantly raise a Pokémon's Special Attack by three stages!
The prince of the vast sea began to exert his strength, taking advantage of the moment when Sakura was recovering her strength, he strengthened himself twice in a row!

It can launch four attacks with [Firefly] or retreat into sleep with [Courage Refill]!
"[Awakening Power]!"

After failing to secure a rainy day, Xiao Guang immediately switched to fighting tactics for non-rainy days.

Manaphy's level is relatively low, and it hasn't learned any powerful Water-type moves yet. However, before that, there was a TM that was common in the Sinnoh region: Hidden Power!
Not only can Pokémon awaken this move on their own, but at the Trainer Academy in Lucky City, defeating the local students can earn you this move. Before heading to Oregon City, Dawn had already defeated the people at the Trainer Academy and obtained this move!

Awaken your power and take flight!

A powerful gust of wind erupted from the prince's mouth. Only then did the vegetable seed realize what the moss had meant earlier, and it quickly shouted:

"[Solar Beam]!"

Use the Grass Gem to enhance the power of this Sunbeam!
A Grass-type move with a power of 120!
Sakura's sunlight blasted out intensely; under a clear sky, sunlight-based attacks can be used instantly!
Seeing this incredibly powerful move, even the vegetable seed was shaken to its core:

"Are imported goods from the Unova region really that powerful?!"

"So, you think you can win?!"

However, the power of [Awakening Power - Flight] after being enhanced by Firefly seems to be even greater!

The cherry blossoms' light was torn apart by the storm, instantly swept into the sky, and then fell to the ground with a thud!
Vegetable Seed: "Wow! Fire and storm! This Pokémon was just born, how can it be so powerful! And that's Hidden Power! With Hidden Flight, its coverage becomes incredibly formidable!"

"Even the Solar Beam, powered by the [Grass Gem], couldn't defeat it?!"

A mythical beast with 600 races is certainly powerful, with all races at 100, and the well-rounded distribution means there are no weaknesses in terms of durability!
Although Manaphy's level is somewhat low, its naturally high racial rank allows it to turn the tide of battle even though it is far behind Sakura, thanks to the high durability brought by its Courage Charge!

However, Guangtai thought that Manaphy's ability to participate in such a fierce battle so soon after hatching might really be related to the hatching knowledge she possessed from Akin.

Furthermore, Sakura's Special Attack is really weak, and the Flower Gift ability enhances Attack rather than Special Attack, so it doesn't improve the power of Solar Beam.

The Sakura that Caizhong sent to the dojo is level 20, but she also has a level 60 Sakura.

Even if a gym leader is eager to battle, they cannot send out a high-level Pokémon that is far stronger than the challenger, otherwise the difficulty would be too high.

Lightmoss: "It was a fierce battle between sunshine and rain that has now been decided. There don't seem to be many trainers in the Sinnoh region who can freely manipulate the weather. Vegetable, maybe you can really defeat Aryu and become the Grass-type Elite Four member."

"Hikari, your understanding of combat is becoming more and more profound. The power of wind is also very important in the rain, and it can make up for the problem of water-attribute attacks."

"Yes!" Xiao Guang took a short breath. The intense battle and the changing weather had greatly improved her combat experience. She then asked, "Have you obtained the Dragon's Plate yet?"

"Hoo!" The girl suddenly took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Guangtai: "Next, it's time for my battle with you!"

"I want to know the will of the pinnacle of Pokémon trainers!"

Regardless of the circumstances, forging ahead is definitely the right thing to do. It doesn't matter what emotions you have, as long as you possess unwavering willpower, then no matter what difficulties and predicaments you encounter later...
I can defeat it myself!
"Shall we start now? Then we'll have to borrow the dojo."

A world without light is darkness. That's why the sun without light lost to Xiao Guang. Hopefully, this battle will give Xiao Guang, who represents [Will], even greater power!
"Of course, before the battle, I will make the collected pieces into something important and give it to you. You will definitely need it in the future."

"The stone slab itself is also a necessary item for accessing the Celestial Realm. As for the Life Jewel, even if it is not used in Mijna, it will certainly come in handy elsewhere."

"As long as you have the corresponding stone tablet, you can create the same thing. So you should work harder and collect more stone tablets. There are actually more stone tablets scattered in Sinnoh than in other regions. There are also fragments from the birth of the universe underground in this region."

"In particular, you will need to collect two more special pieces, [Pure Sky] and [Fairy]. I don't know their locations. You'll have to find that out yourself."

A green gem, radiating a gentle light, was handed to Xiao Guang.

"A mythical artifact: the jewel of life!"

"A mythical object that, according to legend, released immense blessings, bringing life to barren lands and allowing life to continue for millennia. It is said that even Arceus, its creator, was attacked and nearly killed in the struggle to obtain the Jewel of Life. This Jewel of Life is a replica, possessing only one-third of its power."

"No matter how barren and desolate the land may be, it will instantly come to life and prosper forever because of the power of the precious gem of life."

"This life force can even be bestowed upon Pokémon, giving them incredible vitality. Those who receive the Life Orb are as if they have been entrusted with Arceus's life. Pokémon carrying the Life Orb will never fall into a near-death state. And those who have already died will be reborn through the grace of the Life Orb."

The Water Grassland Electric Dragon is the synthesis formula for Baoyu, but this formula is not the only one; there is a second, unknown formula.

That is, the formula for the Judgment Pot.

The adjusted recipe is [Water, Fire, Earth].

Perhaps, by combining different stone slabs, you can continuously create all sorts of strange and valuable items!
“Then,” Lightmoy looked at the shocked Little Light, “you can use any number of Pokémon, while I will only use three, one of which will be the Pokémon I use to battle you.”

"It's decided!"
