Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 587 The Boy Riding the Dragon's Back Who Made a Decision Against His Ancestors

"The first stage was supposed to be free of overly powerful enemies. I thought encountering Regigigas, the King of Giants, consecutively was already a low-probability event, so I even went to look up regional legends related to this legendary Pokémon, although I didn't find out much."

"Later, I encountered a Star Crystal Talebagos with six Crystals, including two Guletons and several Treasure Masters. Although I couldn't understand what it was saying, wasn't it a bit of an exaggeration for it to appear on the first floor? Besides, it was a seven-on-one fight right from the start. So it's not only a trainer but can also take to the field on its own?"

"The Star Crystal attribute not only counters ordinary Tai Crystals, but also activates a Tai Crystal Shield upon entering the field, eliminating ability changes and seizing the Tai Crystal Orb to accumulate energy!"

"Of course, considering that Talebagos is a legendary Pokémon in our region, I can reluctantly accept it. But that guy clearly knows me, yet he didn't give me a single drop of water!"

"But this time, is the intensity even higher?"

"My apologies! But there are some things I must say."

"Emperor Yan, could it be that you got angry when I said I hoped your daughter would come to Padiya for training? So, are you perhaps targeting me?"

Ye Ci was in the rest area, wearing a standard fake smile, and the veins on her forehead showed that this female champion was in a very bad mood!

If you want to express it normally.
First of all, this first layer is definitely not right.

Secondly, the difficulty of this challenge facility is absolutely terrible!

The first round was full of monsters and demons; how could the champion be so humiliated!

Do you dare to step forward, the planner of this tower?

Ye Ci really wanted to use a loud roar, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the builders and planners of this tower were supposedly three guys, one of whom was the current Four Heavenly Kings of Padiya.
Oh, it's just moss. Then it's alright.

This made Ye Ci want to complain, but he held back and could only question Emperor Yan.

Phantom Flame Emperor glanced at the tower's exit.

"Um, I don't know either."

"Will you be marked by Regigigas for what happened before? This was purely an accident, right? Although there are strategy guides, this tower is randomized. I've heard that many challenge facilities are like that."

"As for Talebagos, although I'm not familiar with it, it seems to have appeared as one of the Elite Four. According to Lightmoss, the four strongest Pokémon guarding the tower will bring their own battle system and the beneficiaries of that system here, which is something I can't control."

"Moreover, seeing God is quite lucky. Creation and blessing are blessings."

I can't come!

This is the truth.

Ye Ci maintained her annoyed smile.

But this statement also seems to be correct.

So she had no way to refute it.

According to my research, the challenge facilities in different regions have different "restriction rules". For example, some facilities do not allow the use of items, while some facilities, like the Battle Factory, require the use of Pokémon knowledge and the selection and substitution of specific Pokémon for battle.

"Hahaha! This dream world is truly amazing! Just as Lightmoss said, this tower is indeed an extremely difficult challenge facility!"

Alder emerged from the tower. Despite being the Unova Champion, he was stuck on the first floor and suffered a complete defeat after a fierce battle.
However, just like when we fought the Lightmoss before.

Although he lost the battle, Adek felt no pain or regret, only the joy of encountering new life again.

"Although I lost, I had a lot of fun battling with my Pokémon! I even met an ancient god from Sinnoh who has ties to my ancestors. Although I don't quite understand what it meant by 'coming here from a distant universe,' I'll ask Cynthia next time!"

"How should I put it? Although it was our first time meeting, the moment I saw it, I felt a strong surge of emotion, as if we had been friends for a very long time, and this time it was just a reunion after a long separation."

The black-haired woman's expression was quite subtle. Her team had all lost and were recovering in the rest area. Seeing the old champion's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or unease) as he emerged from the tower and approached her, she couldn't help but rub her temples, feeling deeply troubled.

“Ahem, Mr. Adek. So, this matter is related to you again. I was confident I could find Regigigas's weakness, but instead, an even stronger legendary creator god appeared.”

"As the champion, I was the first person invited into this spacetime, but so far I'm still on the first level."

Ye Ci was really forcing a smile.

Recalling how confident I was when I first entered this world, and how I ended up only getting a consolation prize after losing to Regigigas, and then looking at my current state.
His subordinate, Xin Li, had reached a much higher floor than he had!
"What bad luck!"

How could we encounter someone of this caliber blocking the first floor?
Adek gave a thumbs up: "Don't be so sad, young lady. You're still young. One or two failures are nothing. You'll definitely succeed next time."

"Besides, when you reach my age, you'll realize that victory isn't the most important thing. Defeat is also a great teacher. The most important thing is to enjoy Pokémon battles! Every encounter, battle, and growth will broaden everyone's world!"

Ye Ci could only smile helplessly.

Before she was a champion, Adek was already a champion. This was a lesson from her senior, so she could only accept it gladly and keep it in mind.

"But what I really feel ashamed of is that I have actually lost more than once."

"It seems my luck really isn't good enough. I've heard that the Hoenn Battle Frontier has facilities that specialize in improving luck, so I think I could add similar buildings to the Battle Facilities in Padia."

This is called metaphysical alteration of fate.

Adek stroked his chin: "Yeah, luck."

"Yes. No matter how strong you are, you can't win every battle because many times, luck can decide the outcome at the last moment."

"So-called luck is also a kind of talent. Winning a championship is just a necessary step, not the end."

Ye Ci: "What did you talk about with God inside? Of course, I didn't mean to pry into any secrets, I was just curious."

"Moreover, your clothes have also changed."

Alder: "Well, although it talked to me a lot, my understanding of my ancestors actually comes only from that kid, Lightmoy. However, what surprised me was that a god who has lived for so long would ask me, an old man on his deathbed, about things like the relationship between humans and Pokémon."

"It said it was so eager to learn about trainers from other worlds that it suddenly appeared here."

Although Adek is happy to share his life experiences.

However, the fact that even the Creator God had come to visit him was quite flattering.

As they talked, the two of them started talking about crystallization.

Ye Ci was finally able to escape reality for a while from the painful losing streak. When the topic of promoting and training in Taijinghua came up, she suddenly became energetic:

"You have already witnessed the power of Crystallization. Although it is not as visually stunning as Dynamax, it is an excellent system for battle and strategy."

"Lightmoss serves as one of the Four Heavenly Kings in our region, and the potent crystal beads it carries are unique items, with only two in our region. However, since it can leave Padia to engage in crystallization battles, this is also equivalent to promoting and publicizing our region!"

"In the coming years, the number of students enrolled at Orange Academy will definitely increase significantly, and more and more people will choose to come to the Padia region for training in order to enhance their strength, won't they!"

"Furthermore, we are breaking free from the limitation that the battle system can only be used in this region. Therefore, in the future, we can declare that our system has surpassed Dynamax!"

"Therefore, the alliance decision-makers, led by myself, have decided to make the Powerful Crystal Orb the final prize for challenging all battle facilities, as well as the Path of the Champion and the Alliance. However, before that, we can develop a sample for the Unova Alliance, which we hope you will use in battle."

"I've heard that the Unova region has been swept up in a battle frenzy due to the emergence of a new champion, with trainers possessing Elite Four-level strength all planning to challenge the Unova League."

Alder: "Uh, do you mean you want me to help promote it? I have indeed seen the Crystallized Battle system. It is a very powerful and beautiful battle system, and it is also very interesting. If you use it flexibly, you can not only increase your own type damage, but also avoid your original weaknesses by modifying your defensive attributes, making it impossible to defend against."

"More importantly, this energy doesn't seem to harm the Pokémon's body. After all, Prism is also a natural substance of Paradis."

"However, I haven't been involved in the affairs of the alliance for a long time, and where did you hear this news from?"

Yeci smiled and said, "I have a personal friendship with Dr. Yew from the Unova region."

"Ahem." Adek coughed lightly. "That's fine too, but I think it would be better to entrust this powerful crystal bead to a more promising newcomer rather than to give it to an old man like me."

"A promising newcomer!" Ye Ci's eyes lit up.

"The young people who come to the Padia region for the Taijing training will become the bond and witness to the friendship between the two regions! Of course, we will also consider the newcomers! It seems that a new academy is being built in the United States region. Principal Sylan has heard about the advantages of Taijing and is a long-time friend of Dr. Claver here."

"He will soon arrive in the Padia region for an on-site inspection, and will use classified equipment to reproduce the terrestrial crystal material and combat system in the Unova region!"

"However, my goal is to promote the Taijing Battle to other regions, not just one academy, so I still need your affirmation and help! By the way, since you said that, you mean you've found someone you admire, right?"

"That must be the great light that illuminates Unova, right? And if possible, I would also like to invite them to go to Orange Academy with you."

In the Blue Disc, Yaji stated that he went to Unova to find the local champion and league to discuss something.

The next line of dialogue is, "Considering that in the near future, more talented people will go from Blueberry Academy to Padiya." His intentions are obvious.

Furthermore, he tried to win over Wu Li and Du Ruo, but Du Ruo refused, saying, "You should ask someone else for this." But Ye Ci never gave up!

Furthermore, when Xiaoqing frequently visits Blueberry, Yeci will express concern and ask, "Are you planning to move the base from Padia to Unova? Please, you must not do that."

Ultimately, although the environment in the Parthian region is very good, big cities are naturally more attractive to people with a strong rural spirit.

Therefore, at this moment, Adek also sensed Ye Ci's thoughts, and the old champion laughed heartily:
"Young lady, simply hoping for a result that benefits you is not enough."

"Your thoughts and intentions are written all over your face, and this is just too blatant, isn't it?"

"Of course, it's a good thing to work hard for the development of your region; it shows you're very responsible. Uh, in comparison, it makes me seem very irresponsible."

"However, I accept your invitation to travel with Pokémon, to share this wonder with everyone, and to pass on my knowledge to future generations."

"As for the new young people I admire, they are the ones I heard about from Hikari. It is possible that things might happen. Since ancient times, there have been legends of heroes in the United States. These are the children I am waiting for."

"It will appear soon."

Ye Ci: "Hmm, a prophecy? Since it's something he said, then some of it must happen, right?"

"So, the quantity is..."

Adeke: "Hey, do you even need to ask about this? But it's okay to tell you. Although there are only 5 heroes, there are probably more than 9 young people who can fight me."

This is not nonsense.

Lightmoss and Adek mentioned these things one last time before they parted ways.

Big N, Douzi, Douye, Heilian, Gongping, Mingyi, Ash, Alice, Guaishilang
If Du Ruo is included, the number reaches 10, and it's no exaggeration to say that the future looks promising.

Ye Ci: ".?"

"Is this a conclusion drawn after the floodwaters were released?"

Aldak: "No, it's the result of fighting with all our might. Why would we hold back?"

Ye Ci was at a loss for words.

She stood there stunned, then began to rack her brains. Under Adek's strange gaze, Ye Ci gritted her teeth and suddenly made a decision that went against the laws of her ancestors!

"I heard that there's a gap in the current Elite Four in the Unova region?"

Adekel: "Oh! It's not a gap, it's Cattleya. She went to Johto and Sinnoh temporarily in order to seek a higher realm. She used to be the owner of the Battle Castle in the Battle Frontier."

"Right now, in the Elite Four's tower, there are no trainers in her tower, only the Pokémon left behind battling on their own. However, she will return after a period of training. In the meantime, the other Elite Four members of our Unova League will be able to hold off most of the challengers."

"After all, they are all other young masters who have the opportunity to become the Four Heavenly Kings. It is already remarkable to be able to fight three Four Heavenly Kings in a row. I think if they can do that, it is okay for them to challenge me directly."

"By the way, are you planning to recommend someone to fill in here? Hmm, I have no objection; it's good for strengthening regional exchanges. Gadria isn't here anyway. That young girl still needs more experience."

Ye Ci: "Adek champion, my apologies! I have an idea."

"Can I temporarily fill this vacancy?"

Adek: ".?"

This time, it was the old man from the Union who was dumbfounded.

"Yeci! What are you saying?!"

“This is serious!” Ye Ci rubbed his temples. “Learning from the combat experience of advanced regions and building up and retraining talent, I have come to realize that simply bringing in talent from other places is too slow and unstable.”

"We must strengthen the fighting spirit in our region, and as the champion, I need to lead by example!"

"Since Lightmoss has told you that there will be at least nine young powerhouses who can challenge you in the future, plus the gatekeepers and bosses of the challenge facilities in the Unova region, this can be considered a [learning and training] opportunity for me!"

"Besides, didn't you say that it's not good to only think about getting results that are beneficial to oneself? Well, although going to Unova for training will also be beneficial to improving my strength, I think it can also express my sincerity as the champion!"

"Furthermore, Orange Academy's Treasure Hunt event is almost over this year. Until July of next year, the Padia Alliance will not accept any more challenges from outsiders. I have plenty of time."

A gentle female voice suddenly broke into the conversation:
"It's not uncommon for a region to have two champions taking turns. Isn't that what happens in the Hoenn region?"

A blonde woman in a black coat walked into the hall and observed the Pokémon there.

This is the supreme stage created by Arceus.

Moreover, I was fortunate enough to meet other champions here this time.

"Oh my! Little Bamboo Orchid!" Adek, hands behind his back, looked at Bamboo Orchid in surprise:
"I was just thinking about you, I never imagined you'd be able to enter this world!"

"Of course, I came here by invitation, and I've already tried my hand at this place several times. It's just that I haven't been able to meet you before, since there's a time difference between our two regions."

Cynthia and Adek knew each other, as they often vacationed in the Unova region. She then looked at the surprised Yeji:

"Nice to meet you. You must be Miss Yaji, the champion of the Padilla region! I am Cynthia, the champion of the Sinnoh region."

Zhu Lan's reputation is still very high, but that's not because of her reputation as a champion, but because of her reputation as a "mythologist" and "archaeologist"!

Ye Ci was taken aback, greeted Zhu Lan, and shook hands with her.

Having just been defeated in the battle against the God of Sinnoh, now a true Sinnoh native has arrived!
However, you've come at the wrong time!
Cynthia: "Arceus is a legendary god of the Sinnoh region. I was entrusted by someone not to reveal the details of this god until a certain event is over, but I never expected that other gods would come here."

"Parallel universes are really amazing. Maybe we'll even meet our counterparts from parallel universes in the future."

“Fighting against yourself must be very interesting.” Zhu Lan looked meaningfully in a certain direction.

"I never thought I'd run into my younger self. It's incredible. We're at least five years apart in age. But both worlds are fighting against Team Galactic in sync. Maybe we can even exchange information."

A young woman with sharp teeth and a Garchomp, along with a boy with a hairstyle resembling a card player and who looked eight-tenths like Wataru, appeared in front of the Dream Tower!

Zhu Lan (a young Zhu Lan from another world): "I've traveled for a day and a night to uncover history and the truth, but where am I? And who was that woman just now? Was it [me]?!"

Xiao Du (Otherworld): "This is the so-called 'world in dreams'. It should be a place where you can see yourself in other worlds. And I never expected that you could bring me here in one go."

"Hmm! You two, could you please move aside a bit? My path forward must be wide and unobstructed!"

A voice sounded behind the two of them. The young Zhu Lan blinked and blurted out:

"What a big head!"

The Crowned Queen stared wide-eyed at the two of them.

"Humph!"

The king remained noncommittal, having no intention of refuting the accusation.

It simply waved its hand, and behind it, several shadows taller than the Big-Headed King floated over. The Calyx King led them into the tower, and this time it was Little Ferry's turn to be surprised:

"That's Mewtwo! But it feels different. It's definitely not the Mewtwo I've ever seen before."

Just as Xiaodu said.

Thanks to the recent promotion of vegetables, the Crowned King has gradually regained its strength! Therefore, it decided to come to this tower to test the extent of its power recovery!

However, I was a little unsure about coming alone, so I invited my friends who farm and cultivate together in the dream world.

Mewtwo (Goddess Mewtwo, IV2), Deoxys (Warrior of Light), and the Swordmaster Reserve Keldeo!
The king descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity!
The form of Calibre Deo, the Raiden!
Water Horse King!
"Uh, this feels a bit strange. Can this really make me a stronger Holy Swordsman?" Keldeo had doubts about this; it had been tricked into coming here by the Rachelon King.

Of course, Kyurem also said that going to the dream world to train is a good choice.

Calyrex dismounted from Keldeo, tidied its appearance, and, under the speechless gazes of several Pokémon, elegantly tapped the counter next to Entei.

"I will challenge this tower!"

Emperor Yan: "Oh, it's the Queen of the Buds. You want to challenge the tower? Today's tower is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to take on the challenge?"

"Hmm! I have trustworthy friends. No matter what kind of Pokémon appears, I can defeat them! Besides, isn't this a selection process for the Elite Four? As the first Pokémon to enter the dream world, don't I deserve to be one of the Elite Four?"

Emperor Yan: "You don't have a battle system."

"It is said that the representative system of the Galar region is Dynamax."

Queen of the Lace: "What! Dark Night?! What's so good about that unknown power from outer space! I am the one who determines the battle environment! When I ride my mount, I can unleash my strongest power! So the fourth system should be the mount system!"

"Hey! Is that Calyrex?" The three champions who were talking in the distance also noticed Calyrex. Although it was not uncommon for Pokémon to appear here to challenge, Calyrex was also quite familiar to Ye Ci.

After all, the Padiya region has signed a vegetable purchase agreement with the city of Fukiyo in Unova. The large logo of the Crown King is already well-known to many people.

In any case, this guy is no longer a "legendary Pokémon that has lost its legend," but has returned to the level of "somewhat famous," and the next step would be to reach the level of "household name."

The Queen of the Lace Crown is vehemently criticizing the dangers of the Dark Night, expressing her deep sorrow and indignation!

However, when it comes to power from beyond the heavens, the same applies to both the Unova and Padia regions, so the two champions listening from the sidelines felt somewhat awkward.

"The ancient kings had such sharp criticisms."

Afterwards, the Crowned King insisted on leading his friends into the tower!

Within the chaotic aura, light gathered.

Goddess Dream: "I came with Calyrex so I could help my brother and improve my strength in the future. But I have a feeling we might encounter some danger. I wish Tapu Fini would come with us too. Wait, what kind of Pokémon is that?!"

Calyrex: "Keldeo, merge with me! I'll form the head! Don't worry, everyone, I have Centaur Oneness! And my power has been restored!"

Keldeo: "I came here to become a Holy Swordsman. Eh, suddenly you're talking about fusion! King, your head is really heavy! I can't carry you anymore!"

Deoxys: "I came here to persuade my companions in the colossal meteorite. This is... Oh no, isn't this Arceus?! It's Arceus from another world! Everyone, use Protect!"

--------

The sixth floor of the Dream Sky Tower.

Arranged by attributes, the tower's attributes are: normal, fire, water, electricity, grass, and the sixth floor is ice.

A giant dragon, its body frozen solid, quietly appeared in the hall on this floor. It then used cold ice to further process and decorate the place, making it as full of sharp ice spikes as a giant's cave. Only then did it nod in satisfaction.

Behind Kyurem, a massive black dragon and a white dragon appeared. Reshiram told Zekrom what it had seen while following the Lightmoss in the ruins of the otherworldly capital, which greatly shocked it.

Therefore, the three dragons of the Way gathered together in the dream for the first time and began to discuss. Although the Bright Stone was far away from the United States, the signal in the Dream Sky Alliance area was always full.

The signal strength of Arceus routers (encompassing the entire universe) is just great.

Czechrom: "Kyurem, your idea is pretty good."

Kyurem: "That's right! In order to deal with possible situations, to guard against the return of the [repatriated] humans, and the actions of another [mad scientist], we must make preparations in advance!"

"Although I was criticized by Gopaloon, I have thought about it carefully since then."

"Indeed, we can't just stay in the Giant's Cave. If we choose a hero in advance, the problem can be solved. In the past, passively choosing a hero or waiting for ambitious people to come to us was a mistake, and I hope you can realize that as well."

"So why not actively cultivate a hero! I've long thought you guys are being ridiculous, insisting on finding someone who approves of you. Why not cultivate someone you approve of?"

"Look, those who can reach the sixth level must possess ideals and truth, and even nihilistic thoughts! I have already chosen my hero and decided to begin guiding him. Of course, the world of 'nihilism' is devoid of anything, so what needs to be protected is actually 'the future'."

In the discarded designs for Kyurem, the corresponding element was precisely the "future." However, nothingness became the final representative color, while the concept of the future was given to the more stereotypical Milton.

"This is a suggestion from a green-haired woman who came here earlier, called 'Hero Interview.' Bring your chosen heroes here, and after passing through layers of tests, we will make a decision. Those who meet the requirements will be observed and assessed; those who don't will simply be told to 'go back and wait for notification.'"

"The sixth floor is now our territory!"

Reshiram: "Uh, your way of speaking has become almost human. I think whether someone is qualified or not cannot be shown by a simple test, but if it is through combat, then I will approve of it."

"Let the recommended children come here and give it a try."

Zekrom: "Besides the children of God, there are also those girls and boys wearing hats! Look, someone has entered the sixth level! They must be seasoned idealists!"

Rashiram: "Is it a fighting spirit? Or a fighting spirit? These young men and women, chosen by history, should be seasoned, hard-tested warriors of truth!"

The three dragons of the Dao gazed at the stage on the sixth floor.

then
Kyurem: "We ask you, reality, ideal, or nothingness, choose one!"

However, the girl who fought all the way inside the tower, unexpectedly avoided Arceus from the other world, and fought her way to the sixth floor was not only Touko. There was actually another one.

Douzi: "Although you say this world is a dream, it's still too strange that there's a tower for challenges in a dream. Of course, I don't dislike it! I was summoned here by a certain voice. By the way, you look a bit younger than me, but you're so strong!"

Dawn: "My goal is to become the Sinnoh champion, and there's someone I want to defeat even more, someone I know better!"

"Huh! It's a Pokémon I've never seen before! It looks really strong!"

"Giant Heavy Ball, prepare for battle!"

"Wait, wait, wait! Using that black iron ball right off the bat is so weird, isn't it? I've been saying this before, while your battles are exciting, it's a bit much for the trainer to go into battle himself!"

Douzi expressed his confusion, looking at the three dragons of the Dao before him, especially Reshiram:
"I can feel it, it's you calling me?"

"Well then, my partner has also hatched and is now in need of growth. Let me show you the combat methods I learned from my friend!"

"Special Feature: [Intimidate]!"

"Firefly Cat [High Five Surprise Attack]!"

A 13-year-old girl, a hero candidate, made her first surprise attack and uttered harsh words in the Dream Sky Battle!

--------

Oak forest in the Jodo area.

The moss and leaves were returned by Shirabi.

"After a whole day of travel, this experience was quite interesting."

The leaves remained silent, only smiling.
".!"

Seeing the girl so engrossed in imitating Crimson, Guangtai could only shake his head helplessly. Then the two of them saw that the area near the shrine and temple in the oak forest was covered in ice and snow.

You must not play pranks in the ancestral hall, or you will be taken away by the gods.
However, it seems that the old man who voluntarily released the [Ice Spikes] has already been taken back by Celebi.

Guangtai also noticed that he had an extra chip-like object in his hand.

Is this some kind of national encyclopedia upgrade program?!

"Huh? The chip developed by Dr. Yukinari Ohki... could it be that Dr. Ohki's wish suddenly turned into a ray of light!"

In that case, isn't this chip just like the "Ultraman Star"?

"You are finally back."

Uncle Liu sat on a rock, watching the two of them. His face showed weariness. Before Guangtai and Yezi could ask, Uncle Liu sighed:
"I never imagined the legend of the oak forest was true, and that such a thing actually happened in a parallel world. Oh dear, if I had accidentally killed my companion in the past, would I have become that kind of extreme person too?"

"But he eventually came to understand that there are still many moments in life that can be spent with Pokémon."

Ye Zi: "Uncle Liu, did you fight with that [Old Man Ancient Willow]?"

When faced with the need for an investigation, Ye Zi finally stopped playing the role of the Silver Mountain God, and Uncle Liu smiled helplessly:
"With 50 years of experience as a trainer, I thought I could win, but I ended up losing miserably."

"It seems I still have many shortcomings. Pain can make people stronger, but I never thought it would make me this strong. I never even thought of such a skill, that an ice sculpture could move and fight people."

"This is so unreasonable. Well, I've also benefited a lot from it."

"By the way, Guangtai, that old man said he left something for you to thank you for your help, and he hopes I can pass it on to you."

Guangtai: "Something was left behind? It seems that Old Man Guliu saw what happened in the cracks of time, and he chose a better ending, that's probably it."

"So, what is that thing...?"

Uncle Liu took out a neat notebook: "He wrote this down temporarily. By the way, do you have any Ice-type Pokémon?"

"Ha!" Hearing someone call out, the playful Leopard immediately jumped out of its Master Ball!

When it comes to Ice-type Pokémon, who is more powerful than [Guppadias, the god who rules absolute zero]?

"Goohoo~!" Leopard tilted its head and stared at Uncle Liu, who was also an ice attribute master.

Hurry, hurry, what's fun? It's really rare to hear anything related to ice!

Uncle Liu: "Huh, a white leopard, is it an Ice-type Pokémon? Oh dear, I heard from another [Old Liu] that he used to fight against Ho-Oh's guards, and cat-type Pokémon gave him a lot of trouble."

"In that case, wouldn't it be perfect to give you this secret manual?"

"Listen to me, what's written here."

Guangtai took the notebook; this notebook should belong to Uncle Liu, not Old Man Gu Liu.

So, this is of course—

[Gu Liu's message: After the ice and snow melt, spring comes, and the ice in my heart melts too, like basking in the spring sun, which is rising in our world.]

Despite my heavy sins, I was able to protect the world I loved in my final moments, because my Pokémon also lived there, so no matter what, I wanted them to continue living.

[I envy you guys. You can transcend time and spend the rest of your lives with your Pokémon. For me, my Pokémon are my whole life. That's why I captured Ho-Oh and Lugia, orchestrated a series of heinous incidents, blew up the Johto region's venue, and took control of Team Rocket.]

I've always loved them. All tools and everything else I've made are for my beloved! Therefore, I can't let Gold and the others die, and I can't let my Pokémon disappear.

Thank you for giving me this experience. I'm heading back to the Kaji Gym now.

[Secret item: Training notes for "Permanent Ice Wall"]

[Description: The culmination of Liu Bo's efforts in another world—this is the ability to freely manipulate ice and make it move, while simultaneously preventing it from being frozen!]

[Effect: By manipulating moisture in the air, Pokémon can freeze their bodies and move in any way they want! Pokémon hit by the Permafrost Beam will be difficult to remove from their frozen state and cannot be removed by normal Fire-type moves!]

[Accessing the notes: The legendary music – "The Boy on Laplace" (The Boy on a Dragon)]

[Gu Liu's message: Just like the song, the smiling face I saw in my dream. That song didn't move me then, but now it remains in my heart. I hope the songs left by my friends will allow this wish to live on forever in other worlds.]

"I hope to gaze upon that place again, to soothe my sorrowful and weary heart, for the quiet, quiet song can bring you back to that place."

"I hope to start again in my dreams, to find my courage, and to transform my dreams into smiling faces to soothe my heart and the passion that has been gradually forgotten."

"My longing never ceases. The day I saw you riding the dragon, just like that day, I saw your smile again."

"Just like that day. I want to see it."

"You, shining again."
