Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 575 How could an adult get angry with a child? Have you ever heard of the swordsmen in the Sinnoh legends?
Dead, dead, dead, dead!

The dog was beaten to death with a single blow!
In Tao Dailang's mind, the past scene reappeared, the scene where he was wiped out by the three-stage Egui Pong sword dance plus Qi gathering, and the reverse attribute team!

On this day, Momo Dairo recalled the terror of being dominated by demons and the humiliation of being imprisoned in a peach shell!

"Enough barking!"

A weak voice came from the ruins of the collapsed mountain. It struggled to raise its hand, trying to ask Tao Dailang for help.

Boss, please help me one more time! I'm begging you! I'm not dead yet!

If I eat some more sticky rice cakes covered in seasonings, I might just be able to beat the other side!
My strength is still insufficient. Even after becoming so large, I was still knocked away by the opponent!
Brother, please help!
Why are you just watching!

The dog's cries for help left Tao Dailang standing there, bewildered.

Just like what happened back then.

When his three subordinates were defeated by the enraged Egui Peng, he could only rely on his powerful shell to evade her attacks and feign death to escape.
Combat and such
Should we fight now?

"Peach, clatter!"

He was driven to the brink! But Momotaro still had the idea of ​​escaping. However, since there was no puppet to control, he had no choice but to break through the blockade himself!

How could this happen! They had prepared a foolproof plan, controlled all the humans heading north, and even manipulated their Pokémon!

But they were all wiped out!
The people here are so weak! No, no, it's not that the people here are weak, it's that this unfamiliar human is too strong!
Messenger of Steel. Expert in Steel Properties! Immune to Poisons!
I've never seen this attribute before!

Lightmoss: "It seems that there are no Steel-type Pokémon in your hometown."

"However, there are quite a few Steel-type Pokémon in the Kitakami area!"

"Steel cannot be poisoned. Even if you can use a status move to poison steel using the [Corrosion] property, poison-type attacks are still ineffective against steel!"

"Your ability, Toxic Golem, causes other Pokémon to become confused when it is poisoned. This is the source of your power to control other humans and Pokémon."

"However, it's useless against me!"

Tao Dailang felt extremely terrified!

Its toxins have never lost their effectiveness; yet, steel actually possesses this property!
If I get caught by a Steel-type Pokémon, my life will be completely over!
"Tao Tai!"

Momoshiro immediately ordered the last of the experts heading north, Muramasa, to step forward and block them!
No matter what, I'll use the Iron Claw Lobster to block the enemy!

I'm running away!

Use human trainers as a shield!

"Hmph, want to run away?"

With a sudden flick of his wrist, Guangtai unleashed a white light, and a white stone giant appeared not far behind Taodailang!

"Saltstone Giant, blocking the way!"

The white giant appeared, coldly staring at the poisonous mythical beast. Although Momo was illiterate, he immediately realized that the stone golem in front of him was not a Steel-type Pokémon!

It lacks the hard luster of steel; it's stone!
Great! That human is an idiot for sending a Rock-type Pokémon to stop him from escaping!

Then I'll turn you into a puppet too, and then manipulate you to escape!
Uh, even though my body is a bit stiff, I should be able to escape, right?

"Tao Tao Tai!"

Evil chains!

A special poison-attribute move with a power of 100 and an accuracy of 100!
Bind your opponent with chains formed of poison, injecting toxins to corrode them. There is a 50% chance of inflicting a highly poisonous status on your opponent!
Tao Dailang unleashed its signature skill, striking the Salt Stone Giant. After a three-hit combo, it eagerly awaited the Salt Stone Giant's poisoned state, but—

The Salt Stone Giant slapped Tao Dailang back onto the battlefield!
Don't try to pull these tricks on me, you clueless idiot!
"Rock-type Pokémon are indeed not immune to toxins, but there is a difference between [Salt] and [Rock]!"

"Cleansing Salt! The Salt Giant possesses a unique ability: it cannot be afflicted with any status conditions. Damage from Ghost-type moves is also halved!"

"You won't get poisoned, and both of your elemental attacks that resist ghosts have been sealed off!"

"Because this is how to deal with evil spirits. Legend has it that clean salt can eliminate the power of ghosts and is revered as a sacred substance that can dispel filth and misfortune."

Of course, Tao Dailang's level is actually very high.

After a long period of escaping and accumulating power, its level should be the highest among the fixed-location Pokémon that can be caught in the Crimson Valley—level 88!
This is to correspond to the level of Nemo's Pokémon in the second playthrough. Because the mechanics are improved in the second playthrough, in the side story, the level of Nemo's controlled Pokémon is raised to level 86-87, and Momotaro, as the final boss, is exactly one level higher than the highest level in her team.

The level of the Evil Spirit is 70 in the second playthrough.

"Even the Salt Stone Giant, who has been training in the Void of Zero for 150 years, is only level 80, while you, Peach, who does nothing, are already level 88."

"You possess immense power, the special ability to control people's minds and fulfill desires, and you're a mythical beast. Letting you run rampant would be disastrous! You're too powerful, so we must seal you away!"

"Peach, peach?!"

Tao Dailang was terrified!
What nonsense are you spouting!
I had accumulated power over hundreds of years! For it, I lost everything: my companions, my family, my mask, my treasure. I have nothing left!

Light moss shook its head:
"Partners, family, and masks—none of these things are truly yours; they were all obtained through poisonous chains and theft. Favor and friends gained in this way are all false!"

"And you've killed an innocent person. If you take a life, then there's no going back."

"Momotaro, do you know the original relationship between humans and Pokémon?"

"Do you know the legendary swordsman of the Sinnoh region?"

Lightmoss took out a greatsword that gleamed with a cold light from Device C!

The Sword of Instantaneity!
"Based on the legendary broken divine sword, this ancient sword, which pierced through the history of Sinnoh, is the [Greatsword of Instantaneity], capable of deflecting all attacks!"

"A young man obtained a sword. He used the sword to indiscriminately hunt Pokémon for food. As for the ones he couldn't finish eating, he simply threw them away. After a year, he could no longer catch any food. The Pokémon had completely disappeared."

"After a long and arduous journey, the young man finally found the Pokémon and asked: Why have you stopped appearing?"

"The Pokémon quietly replied: You once wielded your sharp blades and harmed my companions. So we will also use our sharp teeth and claws to harm your companions. Don't blame us; we have no choice but to do this to protect our companions."

“The young man roared: Since I acquired this sword, I have forgotten that you are also living beings. I swear I will never do such barbaric things again, and this sword will be useless. So I beg for forgiveness.”

"The young man threw the sword to the ground, and the blade broke in two. The Pokémon saw this and vanished without a trace."

"The divine sword represents the history of hunting and killing between humans and Pokémon. Thousands of years ago, humans used this weapon to fight against Pokémon!"

"But because he understood the weight of life, the legendary swordsman was filled with remorse, and that's why he broke the divine sword."

"However, the divine sword still has its reasons for existing!"

"It exists specifically for Pokémon like you!"

The story of the legendary swordsman may have inspired the later XY era and led to the creation of the character King Az.

At first, they disregarded life, but after understanding its weight, they disappeared into history, perhaps wandering or committing suicide.

Hikari, wielding a greatsword, approached Momo!
Momojiro immediately takes control of Muramasa!
Quick, get the iron claw lobster to use its "crab fist"!
"Goo la la la!"

Although the Iron Claw Lobster didn't understand the situation, it had to fight because its trainer wanted it to fight to the end!

"Iron-clawed lobster! Adaptability and a hard shell are both excellent traits, however, I know you!"

"Your ability is [Strength Claws]!"

"So, let's try a different feature!"

Guangtai blocked the Iron Claw Lobster's crab fist with a single sword strike, and the Instant Sword unleashed a counter-attack sword pressure!
With a single sword strike, he sent the iron-clawed lobster flying!
The lobster was startled, but it quickly got up and was still ready to fight when the giant mask of the dragon appeared behind it!

It will hit the vital point!

Thorn Vine Staff - Dragon!

With the intense impact, the iron claw lobster lost its ability to fight!
Muramasa, the last member of the Kitakami Oni-men group, was also knocked down by the suddenly appearing Evil Ponko with a sliding tackle!

"The Northern Oni-Faced Gang, all eight members defeated!"

The Other Knights were all defeated!
Seeing Moss swinging its greatsword and sending Pokémon flying, Momo was terrified and started shouting incoherently!

[He made some harsh remarks!]
Threaten your opponent with harsh words to lower their Attack and Special Attack, and then trade with a backup Pokémon!

Even if you are affected by Root, Bind, unable to escape, or Shadow Tag, Sand Hole, or Magnetism, you can still replace a Pokémon!
You can escape!

Tao Dailang thought to himself that he could run away at any time!
What humans! What swordsmen! What the weight of life!
Is it really necessary to go to such lengths with the Evil Spirit just to gain favor and accidentally cause the death of a human?

He used a weapon to knock the Pokémon away!
Just kidding!
Are humans really that terrifying?!
"Say tough words is a Pokémon move, and of course it only works on Pokémon. How could it possibly work on humans!"

"Peach, peach, peach!!!"

Evil chains!

Tao Dailang swung out his evil poison chains, but they were deflected by the [Sword of Instantaneity]!
Combat Skill: Parry!

"This kind of thing is completely useless!"

The sword pressure generated a shockwave without any attribute, almost cutting Tao Dailang's body in two!

"Wow! Peach!"

Not human!

You're not human! You're a ghost! A demon far more terrifying than me!

How could a human possibly use such a powerful technique!
You and that man who died in the past are completely different species!

Lightmoss wields a greatsword:

"Under normal circumstances, why would an adult get angry with a child?"

"However, if a child's behavior is particularly egregious, then it is necessary to discipline them!"

Tao Dailang suddenly flew into the air!
You bastard! I refuse to believe you can even hit a flying Pokémon!
However, since you can't escape because of a certain move, and threatening words won't work on you, they must be effective against other Pokémon!

Tao Dailang used a harsh remark on the dying Gou Zan Gou!
It's trying to escape!
"Enough, enough of your barking?!"

The awesome dog, lying in the pile of rocks, couldn't believe it. Its boss had gone through so much trouble to revive the three of them, but now he was leaving behind a harsh threat and running away!
Brother, are you abandoning us? You're so spineless, actually trying to run away by yourself!

"Ape, ape squeak!"

"Hee hee hee!"

Just as Yoshichi and Yuanmaru had finally recovered from their abnormal state, Ryupon's big stick came right away!
"Squeak squeak!"

When the monkey saw that the peach was about to escape, it had no other choice but to shout at the chicken!
Quick, cover the boss's escape!

Saying that the leader ran away alone is cowardly! That's not true at all!
The boss is only making a tactical retreat. As long as the boss is alive, even if we are killed again, we can be resurrected with the energy of the foreign gem and the power of the poison!

So what if we become puppets! What kind of lives did we live before?
As a dog, I have no strength; as a monkey, I have no wisdom; as a male bird, I am not beautiful!

We are all losers among our kind; it was the leader who gave us who we are today and the strength we have!

I can only repay your kindness with my death!
“Gigi.” However, Gigi didn’t seem to think that way. She felt terrified, after all, she was the least combative one and the last to join the team.

The third one has always had no say, and is even just there to make up the numbers. Although she has become beautiful, she is still not very strong, and there are also Pokémon that are completely unaffected by her pheromones.

Although the wish was fulfilled, the idea of ​​dying entirely for Boss Momotaro was ridiculous.
I...I don't think I can do it.
However, even if it's impossible, it has to be done! Jiji looked around at the Pokémon around it!
A golden giant sword, a green rocket, a white giant, and that cicada shell that disappeared earlier—these are no ordinary Pokémon!

Isn't this a desperate situation?
"Hehe!"

Saying they're fighting to the death for Boss Tao Dailang is utter nonsense! It's clearly because they're in a desperate situation; they'll die if they don't fight!

"Squeak!" The Wish-Growing Ape unleashed a powerful burst of psychic energy! Nothing happened, however... this psychic energy would soon take effect!

Foresight! One of the most powerful Psychic-type moves, this move not only allows you to see the future, but also enables you to launch attacks from the future!
Then focus your mind and recite!

Even with the strongest psychic power, the Monkey King couldn't do anything. He flapped his wings, and a bright full moon appeared above his head!

The power of the moon!

In his shadow-reflected state, Egui Pong wielded the Dragon Club!

Dragon's Iron Rod is useless against Fairy-type Chinchillas.

So, we need to attack the other one!
Thunder gossip!

With a single blow, Egui Peng sent Yuan Zeng Yuan flying. The powerful and deadly club seemed to have dented its head!
You're saying you're planning to buy some time for your eldest child?!

Spiritual power? How could such a thing possibly be of any use! Let's settle this centuries-old feud here!

"Bonnie, gaoh!"

With a flash of lightning, Egui Pong dodged the power of the moon. Facing the last Jizhi Chicken, she took out a mask that had not yet been used.

Although this mask does not subdue the rooster, it represents a special meaning!
Crystallization will automatically disappear after the battle ends. In natural battles, Pokémon that possesses Crystallization power can actively dissipate Crystallization energy by being defeated!

Egui Pong neither dodged nor evaded, taking the full force of the moon's power with his dragon attribute. Although the fairy attribute's strength was only twice as strong, it was enough to break through the initial stage of Taijing, especially since his stamina was not high to begin with.

So, the next attack.

The premonition of the future before the willing ape fell struck the body of the evil spirit!
The crystal exploded!

But—this was intentional!

"Boo! Ni! Ooh!"

The elusive spirit used [Hold On]!
Then comes photosynthesis!
"Ji, Ji Xi Xi?!" Ji Zhi Ji then realized that the sunny weather that had disappeared had been turned on again!

Yes, it was that white giant who did it!

A ray of light rose from the fingertips of the Salt Stone Giant, ushering in a clear day!
On sunny days, the rate of photosynthesis increases significantly!
besides--!
With a loud thud, as the giant rock fell, Tao Dailang, who was trying to fly away, cried out in pain as he was smashed down from the sky by the Salt Stone Giant!

And what caused all of this was...
".OMO!"

The ghost cicada remained unchanged, appearing and disappearing without warning. It observed from the shadows and then merely used its telekinesis to slightly manipulate objects.

A Pokémon hit by this telekinesis move will be hit by any attack other than a one-hit KO move.

Then, the move the Salt Stone Giant used was, of course, [Smash Down]!
The attack deals damage to the target and puts the target into a knockdown state.

If the target is in a state of electromagnetic levitation or telekinesis, then cancel these two states!
A Pokémon that is knocked down will be treated as a ground Pokémon.

"First, control it with your mind, then shoot it down to the ground! Even though you're just 'floating away,' anything that flies is threatened with being shot down!"

"Evil Spirit, Masked Transformation - Rock!"

"Majestic and awe-inspiring, intimidating all evil! Transform!"

Kamen Rider Kuuga!

Masked Rider Kuuga.

A knight who transforms using spirit stones, the first knight of the new world!
Why use a rock to finish off the third one?

"Because the rock mask represents the joy among all emotions, it is a symbol of gods or enlightened kings, and represents the perfection of a state of being!"

"Perfection, joy, and awe without anger!"

"You gave up the Flying type in exchange for the Poison type, but in the end you still can't escape the punishment of the Rock type!"

Ergui Peng suddenly jumped up!
Foundation Stone Mask!
It unleashes the power of rock, exhibiting exceptional defensive capabilities. Its sturdy rock body can withstand any attack, protecting itself and enduring heavy impacts like the foundation supporting a house.

However, the rock attribute is stronger in offensive situations!
There are only two Rock-type moves with a perfect accuracy of 90% or higher that are extremely powerful!

The first one is [Strong Blade Attack]!
The second one is the Rock-type Thorn Staff!
"The mask will unleash the power of the Evil Spirit, increasing the power of the attack by 20%. With the attribute bonus being the same, the base power of this strike—no, it should be said that the base power of all strikes—is—"

"180!"

And although the dragon mask has been removed, the [Easily Hit a Weak Point] buff hasn't been removed! And the +4 physical attack from before is still there!
After all, this isn't a formal competition; it's a life-or-death, no-rules brawl!

"Expected power: 360!"

In a state of shock, Jizhiji was struck by Erguipeng's stick as he jumped up, spinning as he was blasted from the sky into the ground!

Known for his special defense abilities, he is only mediocre in terms of physical defense!
But in the instant of defeat, a feeling of ease and joy welled up in Yoshichi's heart.

Ah, that's it!

Fighting in fear and trepidation is worse than being killed outright! At least I'd know I'm doomed! If there's nothing I can do, then I shouldn't do anything, and I shouldn't have to face this terrifying masked demon!

So, I'm going to take a nap first!
The kiji fainted without any trouble!

Looking at the slain Yoshichi and the half-dead, struggling-to-get-up Yuanmaru in the distance, who seemed to have been hit with a concussion, Hikage suddenly switched to a hunting sniper rifle!
Hunting sleigh, start!
A beam of light captured the Yuanzeng Ape as it tried to get up!
"Tao Tao Tai Tao Tai?!"

Tao Dailang looked at Sanboban, who had been killed again, in a sorry state. He had once tamed his subordinates and treated them as his friends, but now he had lost everything and could do nothing again!
Although the password is correct, a system error has occurred.

Therefore, Tao Dailang certainly didn't gain any power that could be unleashed in battle; that's exclusive to the protagonist!
"Waaaaah!"

Tao Dailang started crying and wailed loudly!
I didn't do nothing while I was in the air!

Although I was trying to escape and kept thinking about escaping, I had already devised a plan!
I was just too scared to fight. I was just too scared!

Waaaaah! Everything's gone, I'm going to fight you to the death!
Lightmoy: "【Fake Cry】, pretends to cry and sheds tears, leaving the opponent bewildered and thus greatly reducing the opponent's Special Defense."

Tao Dailang was taken aback: "Tao, Tao Tao Dai?!"

Guangmo laid the Instant Sword flat and slammed it down!
"What good do you think such a deceptive trick can do? You're such a child!"

"Tao Tao Tai!" Tao Dailang's anger erupted when he saw that his tricks had failed!

Evil chains, let's do it again!
This time, I'm really going all out against you!
Snapped!
A strange lump of mud suddenly hit Tao Dailang, but it only staggered and didn't pay much attention to it!

Acid bombs, shadow balls, poison gas, scare!
"Gah-bang!"

With a snap, Iwapō ran over, swung his thorny vine club, and shattered all the attacks, knocking Momoyarou into the ground with a single blow!
"Unfortunately, while Rock-type has poor survivability, it perfectly suppresses Poison! With double the Poison resistance, all your poison moves are useless!"

"And, a six-layered trick? Do you really think you've outmaneuvered six layers of trickery?"

"Clearance Smoke! Clearance Smoke will definitely hit, resetting all of the opponent's ability changes to 0!"

"Your power is long gone!"

Momotaro stared wide-eyed, turned around following Hikari's finger, and saw Genzou Monkey, who, even though he was half-dead, was still throwing "mud" at him!
What do you mean? You were supposed to cover for me, weren't you?

They were pledging their loyalty just now, and even got their heads almost smashed by a blow from Egui Peng's staff. What does it mean to attack me now?!
"Squeak squeak squeak?!"

Even the ape itself didn't realize it until it threw the dirt out of its hand, then it realized it was attacking its leader!

But that shouldn't be the case. It was just that a request that pleased me came from that light, so I acted without thinking!
This, this really isn't what I thought!
Guangtai looked at Taodailang, who was furious, anxious, and at a loss for what to do:
"A hunting buoy, a human device. It allows you to request help from wild Pokémon. While this request is semi-mandatory, it will respect the Pokémon's own wishes to the greatest extent possible."

"However, Wish-Growl is one of the Poison Golems. It is a Pokémon controlled by you, which means that all its will follows your decisions. Under the influence of the Hunting Beacon, perhaps this guy has just developed [Free Will]!"

"Perhaps that was the last bit of resentment left behind by the Poison Puppet!"

Momoya stared blankly at the fallen Yuanmaru.

In truth, I've never had any companions, so if that guy harbors resentment towards me, then what about all those happy times back then?
It's just wishful thinking!

While Tao Dailang was in a daze, it stared blankly as E Guipeng's rock club fell down.

Ah, I see.

As the rock knight of the gods, he was filled with perfect joy, just like the end of Hosho's life!

Mingming has waited for hundreds of years, with nine masks still in place, and humans still not tamed. He has not yet returned to his hometown, nor seen his grandparents.
Is my time coming to an end?
The blow struck a vital spot, and Tao Dailang was slammed into the cracked ground with a thud!

[Momotaro has lost his fighting ability! He's on the verge of death!]
"Tao Tao Tai!" Tao Dailang trembled, still unwilling to give up, and with his super high physical defense, he tried to stand up again!

Using [Self-Regeneration] once again?!
Tao Dailang stared at E Guipeng, but nothing happened.

It tried to move its body, but it was stuck in the ground and couldn't.

All I could see was something that looked like a cicada's molt, floating and observing itself.
It's that guy again! It's that hateful guy again!

"Peach."

There's something interesting to see. Is it really worth your attention?
You're just an empty shell!

Shedding Skin Ninja: ".OMO!"

Guangtai: "Although the Shedding Shell Ninja is an empty shell, it lives happily every day, while your shell is full of happiness, yet you greedily and unrestrainedly continue to demand more, which makes you unable to be happy."

"Who is truly the empty shell that cannot find joy? The one who cannot find joy, at this moment, attains perfection."

"The Shedding Shell Ninja's [Reply Block]."

"For a certain period of time, you will be unable to recover health through moves, abilities, or held items. Any recovery items and abilities will be ineffective!"

"Salt Stone Giant, use [Salt Curing] on Peach Darling! Sacred salt can eliminate the power of the ghost and reduce the spread of poison."

"The era of you arbitrarily arresting people to be puppets is over!"

"The time has come to seal you! How long will the seal last? The sealing technique I learned from a distant land takes approximately..."

"1000 years!"

A traveler with magical powers is mistaken for a ghost.

The demon, accompanied by a Pokémon named Grimpu, defeats the true demon hidden in history!
Let's etch this history into our memories!
[Momo's vision went completely black!]

[Lost xxx yuan!]
