Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 574 Calamity: Have you seen me at my peak? Dragon Mask, Thunderous Eight Trigrams!

The sun shines, the weather is altered, and a nine-tailed sermon is uttered!
Features: Sunshine!

Among the Kitakami Onimen group, Kanemitsu is skilled in both fire and grass!

The land of no suffering, with its rugged cliffs. Its location lies in the wilderness.

Hikari: "Sunny Team! I know them all too well! They're experts at using the weather; there are two of them in the Kitakami Oni Mask group!"

"Evil Demon, transform once more!"

"High spirits, Kagura Lion!"

"Masked Transformation: Fire!"

The Fiery Pomegranate has once again transformed back into its classic fire pomegranate form!

Kamen Rider Hibiki! Hibiki, Sound Stick, Retsuka!
For whom does the sunny day bloom?

The Fire Stove Mask is its most aggressive form, unleashing the power of fire. It manipulates thorny vines like a spear, piercing through its opponent and attacking with the ferocity of a raging fire in a furnace!

Kaneko remained silent, only murmuring strange sounds as she directed Ninetales to lead the other two Pokémon to flank them!
The cunning tengu and the ghostly lantern!
"Peach, peach!"

Tao Dailang had complete confidence in this expert!

How powerful can the mask of fire be! Although I've never seen Ergui Peng fight with the mask of fire before, I'm not completely ignorant!
Right? May more monkeys be born!

"Squeak, squeak!"

As the monkey strategist, Tao Dailang tamed the Yuanzeng Ape because it could come up with many ideas and had the ability to foresee the future in a short time. There was no reason not to make it a follower. Therefore, sending out a controlled expert who was good at the [fire] attribute was also intentional!

Under clear skies, the power of Water-type moves is reduced, while the power of Fire-type moves is increased. However, here is a Pokémon with the Flash Fire ability!
Therefore, victory is assured!

He foresaw the future and knew that Evil Pine would transform into a fire form, not a rock form! But then again, the rock form is very weak in special defenses and is countered by fighting styles!

Big Brother Dog is all-around ready and ready to strike!
Even if she's a rock-type, a single punch of brute force would be enough to take her down!
My ability to foresee the future has already led me to this!

Her next move is Parasite Seed!

They actually tried to use such a dirty trick, but it's pointless. The flames will burn the grass-type seeds!

The Nine-Tails unleashed a torrent of fire, burning away the Parasitic Seed!
The Yuanzeng Ape let out a squeaking laugh, and the eyes of the other venomous beasts also lit up!
As expected of a monkey, its predictions are so accurate! Egui Peng is doomed to lose!
"That's not necessarily true. Your Observation Haki is decent, but it's not enough!"

The sound of the moss startled the monkey!
What is this inhuman being saying?! My predictions of the future are never wrong.
"call!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox roared as it was defeated by the Evil Spirit!
A ground shockwave instantly rendered the Nine-Tails unable to rise again!
"[Stomp]! Transform regret into power for an attack. If the previous attack missed, the power will be doubled!"

"Ape, ape squeak squeak!" Yuan Zeng ape started sweating and kept jumping around gesturing!
It's not over yet!
There's still fire here! Fire-attribute moves are useless—

boom!
With a single flaming thorny vine, Evil Phantom blasted the Flame Ghost, which possessed the Ignite property, down from mid-air!
Although it has double fire resistance, there is a fire power bonus under sunny weather!

Therefore, the damage from this attack is still quite considerable!
"Squeak squeak squeak?!"

How could it work?! Enmaru looked at Momotaro and found his boss staring at him with an angry expression!

"Tao Tao Tai!"

What the hell? Was your prediction of the future wrong? The tactics have gone wrong again!

Why did you get hit by the flames when you tried to start a fire? Didn't you say there wouldn't be any problem?

Faced with his boss's questioning, Yuan Zengyuan stammered and couldn't answer. Then, upon hearing Guangtai's voice, he immediately turned around.

"Under the stove mask, the type of the 'Ghostly Phantom' is Fire and Grass, and its ability is [Mold Breaker], which allows it to use moves against the opponent without being affected by their ability!"

"The 'ignition' property is useless in the face of exceptional circumstances!"

Guangtai cleared up their confusion, and Taodailang and Yuanzengyuan seemed to have been enlightened, nodding and humming in agreement. Yuanzengyuan made a sincere "squeak squeak squeak" sound to express his gratitude.

Then, Tao Dailang, who had regained his senses, suddenly lashed out with his whip!

What are you doing!
I nodded because I didn't know!

As my strategist, you don't even know how you became one!

You're still nodding here! And even thanking me!
You need to think of a solution!
"Squeak!"

After being whipped, Yuanmaru was immediately flustered and tried to overstep his authority, but the cunning tengu who remained, though feeling that things were really inexplicable, eventually understood Yuanmaru's command.
The cunning tengu, possessing both grass and evil attributes, suddenly turned around and began to curse!
what?
You're ordering me around? My trainer is right here!
Who do you think you are?!
"Squeak!" Yuanzengyuan jumped up and down in a panic, indicating that if he didn't listen to commands, he would be beaten to a pulp. However, the stubborn and cunning Tengu gave up the fight and started arguing with Yuanzengyuan, leaving the three Poison Beasts speechless!

Dark-type Pokémon are indeed not easy to obey!

“.！#@￥#！￥（Pokémon swear words）”

The cunning celestial dog was cursing enthusiastically when he turned around and was hit by the evil spirit's staff. His eyes rolled back and he went offline on the spot!
The last thought that flashed through the cunning tengu's mind was—since everything seemed so inexplicable anyway, being defeated was just that—so be it!

Who are those three uglier guys than me? They're shameless!

"Bonnie!"

After defeating the three Pokémon, Urgot, as usual, used Quick Attack and Kick to knock them down, and then slid in to knock Kanemitsu to the ground as well!
The trainer has lost the ability to battle!
"[Photosynthesis]!" Guangtai waved her hand, and with the help of the clear sky, Egui Peng's stamina was restored to full!
Under bright sunshine and strong sunlight, it restores two-thirds of the user's maximum HP!
"Hey hey hey!!!" Tao Dailang cried in fright!
That's how you defeat twelve Pokémon!

Are you here racking up stats?
Quickly, quickly, let the remaining three human experts and their Pokémon swarm in!

"A master of the Normal type, Munechika. Pokémon: Aipom, a family of three (the only children in the family), and a Munchlax. Except for the rats, none of the others have evolved!"

The demon has two horns, one long and one short. Climb the shorter one, and you will find its location.

"A master of the [Fighting] attribute, Kotetsu. This Kotetsu is unrelated to the legendary Kotetsu from the Unova region. This Kotetsu is female. Heracross, Gallade, Ironhide! And... a fourth one! Kommo-o!"

A pool that never sleeps, a cave by the water's edge. Fall into the cave, and you'll find your way there.

"A master of the Ghost type, the eighth member of the Kitakami Oni Mask group, and also the true leader, Muramasa! Gengar, Crawdex, Woodpecker, Dusknoir!"

There are eight of the seven top masters, isn't that normal?
"What's interesting is that all of these Pokémon are physical attackers!"

"Those who praise poetry and prose are like the ghosts of Rashomon!"

"Masked Transformation: Evil! Heal!"

"Boni!" Ergui Peng put away the stove mask!
Kamen Rider Luna, Kiva!

He retrieved the Rashomon Mask, which possesses the evil attribute!

The demon residing at Rashomon is the lord of the evil-faced mountain who praises the ancient poems of the poet!

"The clear sky and gentle breeze comb the new willow branches, the melting ice and ripples wash away the old moss!"

"The so-called Rashomon demon is also known as Ibaraki-dōji! Ibaraki means thorn! Its gender is unknown, but in some cases, Ibaraki is considered to be a female demon."

"Special ability: Intimidate!"

All physical attack power levels are reduced by 1!
All the Pokémon that attacked were lowered in Attack, losing some of their power. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Misty Pine once again swung its Thorn Staff!

One, two, three, four, five, nine, ten, eleven!

Apart from Ironclaw Lobster, Armored Dragon, and Heracross, none of them are resistant to the Dark attribute!
"So strong, so strong! How can the Evil Spirit Ponyo be so strong!"

The siblings hiding behind Milton were stunned as Urgot kept changing its mask and used different powers to defeat all the Pokémon that came to fight!
This reminded Wu Li of that legend once again: no matter how many enemies there are, the demon is always alone!
One person can defeat all enemies, and is not afraid of any difficulties!
"A demon that can freely switch masks is invincible!"

"Kamen Rider! Go, Kamen Rider! Let's give it a boost!"

Even the battle with the Kitakami Oni-men made Wu Li feel his blood boil, just as Brother Oni said: enemies and foes share the same origin!

Not only do they defeat Pokémon, but they also have to defeat the trainers. This is how the "ghosts" fought hundreds of years ago!
"Ape, ape squeak!"

Upon hearing Wu Li's cheers, Yuan Zengyuan became extremely annoyed!
The tactical blunder is laughable. How am I, as the monkey-headed strategist, supposed to conduct myself from now on?

That terrifying human knew more about all kinds of battles than I did!

He's completely different from the man I killed before!

How could this be? There are such experts among humans! They're practically inhuman!

"Squeak!"

However, to say that the Egui Peng, who can freely switch masks, is invincible is really underestimating himself!

Let me show you the powerful moves that come from the strong mental energy stimulated by the toxins I got from the boss!

Dog Bro, start the enhancement!
Flying Chicken, come help me too!

"Momo-tai-tai!" Momo-tai-rou directed the remaining two Oni-masked group members, glancing at Yuan-maru!

You silly strategist, just stop doing anything outrageous like praising the enemy or even expressing that you've learned something!

We need to quickly find a way to deal with that insane Evil Spirit!

May the monkey clap its hands in celebration!

Don't worry, boss, leave it to me!

"Squeak!"

"Whee!"

The Wishbear and the Chinchilla quickly reached an agreement, and while the Grimmsnarl was battling the remaining three Pokémon, they launched a "sneak attack"!
I foresaw it!

That trainer was too confident; he didn't even send out any other Pokémon to battle us!

So, the treacherous blockade tactic, open—

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Yuan Zengyuan gave Egui Peng a thumbs up and began showering him with compliments! This left Tao Dailang, who was behind him, completely stunned! Hey, what are you doing?!
I sent you to deal with the Evil Spirit, and here you are, praising her!

"Squeak!"

Before Yuan Zengyuan could explain to his illiterate boss that this wasn't actually a genuine compliment, but rather a form of flattery used to kill, a tactic!

[Exaggeration!]
Praise your opponent to confuse them and boost their Special Attack!
The Kichiji that used its move alongside him used the move "Charm"!
After all, he's the top courtesan! Even if he's male.
From an ugly duckling to a purple swan. Ah, wrong movie set!
But that's roughly the idea!
The toxins granted him powerful pheromones, and stimulated by the toxins released from the chains binding him, he gained a beautiful form and voice. He can flap his vibrant wings and release pheromones that drive humans and Pokémon wild with desire!
Boss, have you forgotten? A long time ago, Jizhi Chicken used this fighting style to suppress Egui Pong!

Although it was of no use to the furious Egui Pong at the time!

But the past is the past, and the present is the present. If you treat the past as the present, then why don't we just die!

The Egui Pon is always female, while the Jizhi Chicken is always male!
Therefore, Charm will definitely work even in a state of chaos!

When a Pokémon is in a state of fascination, there is a 50% chance it will be unable to act when choosing to use a move! It will be difficult to use a move!
Suppress the Evil Spirit, confuse her and make her obsessed, then have Dog Brother punch her to the Western Paradise, seize the nine masks, and tame that powerful human and bring him under your command. Wouldn't that be perfect?
May Zengyuan have wonderful plans in his heart!
Its hype worked!
[May the monkey be confused! It attacked itself without knowing why!]
"Squeak squeak squeak?!"

[The pheasant is mesmerized! It's hard for it to use its moves!]
"Ji, Ji hee hee?!"

The monkey and the courtesan suddenly fell into an abnormal state. In the instant before they fell into this state, the monkey's Observation Haki gave him a glimpse of the future!

A pink cloak! A mask as beautiful as jade and a precious mirror!?
Come on! It's Show Time!
Kamen Rider Wizard! Transform!
"Bonnie!" Ergui Peng waved the stick in his hand at the two confused and bewildered nemesis!
In the past, there really wasn't much of a good solution, but the past is the past, and the present is the present!
"Masked Transformation: Fairy!"

"The moon shines on the jade branches; such beautiful words are almost indistinguishable from reality!"

"Characteristic [Magic Mirror]! While on the field, the user is continuously in a state of magic reflection, nullifying certain status moves targeted at the user and reflecting them back to the user of the move!"

"Furthermore! Because it's activated by a special ability, its duration is [permanent as long as it's on the field]! At this time, any status moves used by the opponent will be completely nullified."

After Evil Phantom became a Fairy, it gained the ability to suppress Dragon-types!
The Kommo-o, which had previously resisted the Dark-type Kommo-o, broke out in a cold sweat. With a thorny club that shone with pink light and resembled the power of the moon, it knocked Kommo-o away!
Kommo-o is one of the representative Pokémon of the Alola region, and for some reason, it is also found in the northern suburbs. Its shed scales can be processed into woks or frying pans. Highly praised for their excellent heat conductivity and ease of use, they are considered one of the legendary kitchen utensils.

Its evolved form, Kommo-o, possesses shimmering scales, which, according to legend, are used to drive away the darkness that shrouds the world. Perhaps for this reason, people believe that Kommo-o's thirst for battle stems from a desire to gain the power to defeat the darkness!
"Clang! Clang!"

The Kommo-o was bewildered as it looked at its fallen companions and its own trainer behaving strangely.

Something seems off.
How come I, who was constantly growing to dispel the darkness that shrouds the world, now seem to be working as a henchman for the forces of darkness?
"Oh, you actually realized that. But it seems like it's rare to see a Pokémon that doesn't follow its trainer's instructions."

Lightmoss spoke to the barely breathing Armored Dragon, which glanced at its trainer, Kotetsu.

It seemed to have made some kind of decision, raising its fist at the Egui Pong, and then—

He turned around and punched the trainer in the face!
Isn't this problem easy to solve?
I want to save the trainer, but I can't disobey her orders. So, all I have to do is defeat the trainer!

If the trainer is defeated, they won't be able to give me the wrong commands!
Kommo-o grabbed its trainer, picked up the other Poké Balls, and ran off in a flash!

The Northern Ghost Mask Group is hereby disbanded!

"Absolutely a genius!"

"As expected of a scaled dragon that trained to dispel dark forces, its sense of justice is truly high. It actually fought back against its own trainer who was trapped in a puppet state. This is not disloyalty, but rather a sign of exceptional loyalty."

With Kotetsu taken away and Munechika defeated, the only remaining member of the Kitakami Onimen Group is their true leader, Muramasa!
Muramasa's Pokémon.
Only the iron-clawed lobster is left!

Despite being a Ghost-type expert, there's a Water/Dark Crawduck in the team. However, the Crawduck happens to be able to suppress the other Ghost-type Pokémon in the team, which might be a way to maintain harmony and stability within the team!
"Peach, peach! Hey! Clang!"

Watching the Evil Spirit rampage and even defeat the Outcast Knights of the Kitakami Oni-Masked Group, Momo Dairou grew increasingly terrified!

Even the ape and the pheasant are useless!

Praising others only led to confusion for yourself!
Trying to captivate someone with her alluring body, she ended up being captivated by them instead!
Ugh, what a waste!

But Tao Dailang, despite his fear, did do something!

There is one aspect of the plan that deserves special recognition!

That is to use poison to control the human in front of you and tame him!
Yes! That's it!

Those two kids don't even look at me! Although I'm a kid myself... no, no, no, there are differences even among kids!

"Tao Tai!"

In other words, as long as we control this human, this terrible battle will end immediately!

Once I control the human, his Pokémon will be at my disposal! Those powerful Pokémon, the exploding bamboo that appeared before, the invincible cicada shell, and others, as well as those Poké Balls on his back, will all be mine!

Tao Dailang opened his shell as wide as possible!
It wasn't doing nothing; it was making sticky rice cakes!

The toxins were kneaded into a sticky cake, emitting an unusually sweet aroma and tasting incredibly delicious! No one disliked it; everyone loved it!
Just like how everyone pampers themselves!
You are no exception!

Tao Dailang showered Guangtai with a massive amount of sticky rice cakes like a torrential downpour!

What kind of move is this?
This isn't a technique; it's just throwing out a bunch of toxic sticky rice cakes!

However, the sticky rice cake landed on a golden shield, and the moving one-eyed creature and the huge golden greatsword appeared on the battlefield at some point, startling Momoyarou!

Strong shield sword monster!
"..." The Eye of Spiritual Power watched Tao Dailang with great interest.

It seems the guy in front of me is also a legend, which is why I showed up, but now it seems there's no need for "verification"!
The sticky rice cake that Tao Dailang threw hit the Shield Sword Monster without making a sound, and landed on the ground with a thud.

There was no poisoning, no chaos, and no poisonous chain control.
Nothing happened!

Oh dear! These things seem wasteful, but the ashes are so convenient.

A somewhat timid and cowardly girl's voice rang in his ears, and the rocket body, which was even larger than the enlarged dog, actually stood up again!
The iridescent flames quietly spread around!
Momotaro stared wide-eyed, not knowing what was going on. It kept throwing sticky rice cakes, but they had no effect on the Shield Sword Monster and the Ironfire Kaguya!
Wow, it's that bamboo that explodes!

It wasn't until the sound of the moss came the frightened Momoshiro back to his senses!

Light Moss: "How foolish!"

"So what if it's a phantom toxin? A last-minute poison won't work on Steel-type Pokémon!"

"Evil Ghost Pon, the strongest power, guarding the divine realm!"

"Masked Transformation: Dragon!"

Kamen Rider Ryuki!

Masked Rider Ryuki!

If we don't fight, we can't survive!
Once a life is taken, there's no going back!
"Dog, bark enough!" Gou Zan Gou, who had been constantly strengthening himself, seized the opportunity and a powerful surge of strength rose from his arm!

Including the bodybuilding he did to withstand the explosion, his bodybuilding power has now reached 6!
Attack and Defense +6!

I am now invincible! This punch will surely be a great success!
Brute force!

Gou Zan Gou's punch landed on E Gui Peng's mask, unleashing a huge shockwave and causing the entire destroyed plaza to crack open like a landslide!

Hmph! How about that? The power of that punch, even for the Evil Spirit Phantom...
"dog?!"

I thought this punch would crack the mask, but Egui Peng was unmoved!
"Enough barking?!" Got dog was taken aback!
That punch could split mountains and shatter rocks, how could it possibly be useless if it hit?!

Ouch, that hurts! Gou Zan felt like his arm was being pricked, and suddenly saw many phantom images of thorns appear outside the mask!

Lightmoss: "[Spike Defense]. Defends against the opponent's attack while reducing the stamina of the opponent who makes contact with you."

"Whoa!"

The dog was terrified and, enraged, threw another punch!
Dancing and slapping wildly!

Ola!

The punch wasn't blocked by the spikes, but it still wasn't very effective!
Lightmoss: "Ability, Multiscale: When a Pokémon with this ability has full HP, it takes less damage."

"Did you lose your mind from fear by using a Dark-type move instead of a move of the same type?"

"Remember, this ability will continue to work as long as the Pokémon has enough HP. Besides, you hit the mask. It has the item [Dragon Scale] on it, how could it be easily broken?"

"So, it seems you took the opportunity to strengthen your defense by 6 layers? But even if it's at its maximum, so what?"

Guangtai took out the Taijing Bead!

"You've witnessed the full glory of the Evil Spirit Phantom?"

"Kamen Rider, Ultimate Rise!"

"Faces and shadows reflect each other! Memories are imprinted in our hearts!"

As the power of crystallization burst forth, the enormous dragon head mask floated in mid-air, emitting a light that illuminated the night!
"The Dragon God Mask originates from the legendary Dragon God. People float on dragon boats, play bells and drums, and sing and dance, their noise deafening!"

"When the Dragon God moves, all the gods and spirits of heaven and earth, with their resentment and anger, erupt."

"Entering the [Easy to Catch the Vital Point] state is equivalent to activating [Dragon's Roar Inspires]!"

"And the unique move of the Evil Vine Staff changes its attributes depending on its own attributes. In addition, its chance of hitting a vital point is 1 level higher than most moves!"

"The chance of hitting a vital point at level three is 100%!"

"When hitting a vital point, the damage will be increased by 1.5 times. At the same time, all changes in the defender's abilities, as well as any status effects that affect attack and defense, such as reflective walls and light walls, will be ignored!"

The aura of the Evil Dragon Pine has risen to its maximum!
Giant King: I'm here now! Come, come, come! You hateful poisonous beasts, you lowly evil peaches, die under my thorny vine thunderbolts!

What type advantage, what high base stats, what 160 physical defense or 6 layers of defense boost, what poison chains are all good!

Faced with the treacherous and cunning, they only have two possible outcomes!

It's either death or serious injury!
"【Thorn Vine Staff - Dragon】!"

With a single blow, Ergui Peng sent Gouzan Gou flying. The dog's body spun several times in mid-air, letting out a loud scream, before crashing into the nearby mountainside with a deafening roar!
Dragon God Mask, strikes a vital point!
Thunder gossip!
