Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 590 Giant Monster Battle! To fight the earth monster, go, Groudon!

The announcement of the destruction of the colossal meteorite has caused tension among everyone in the Hoenn region and those involved in the event.

Green Ridge Universe Center.

President Zvoich, who was preparing for the Sky Sports competition, also received an urgent call from his son.

Originally, the plan was to use the "High-Altitude Race" to find Rayquaza, but after Rayquaza took the initiative to show its location, the meaning of the race was lost by half. After learning that Rayquaza had a way to restore its power and become the legendary Mega Evolution form, President Zvoki's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was now half relieved.

However, the half that was put down now seems to have died instantly.

"The millennium comet, its return is really unfortunate."

"I had already prepared that when Rayquaza shattered the colossal meteor, the Meteor People would hold a grand opening ceremony, just like the prayer ceremony performed by Rayquaza a thousand years ago, to worship Rayquaza's power with a high-altitude competition. The Meteor People would also acknowledge the person who flew into space with Rayquaza as the successor of the new era."

"Everything was going well. However, plans can't keep up with changes."

"Fortunately, we had the foresight to consult the ancients of Shenhe and obtained a solution that could resolve all difficulties."

"Isn't making a wish the same as praying?"

President Zvoich looked at Dr. Solans and the elders of Meteor Village beside him.

The monitor screen in front of the three people was displaying an image of a gigantic meteorite.

"At this trajectory, it should have landed long ago. The reason it hasn't landed is because that Deoxys is controlling it. It's like it's showing off its power to us."

Dr. Solans's expression was also very serious: "The story of the Millennium Comet is indeed circulating in Hoenn and even in many parts of the world. After all, it is a giant celestial body that can be seen with the naked eye. Although we know that it is related to natural energy, with our current level of technology, we are not able to carry out work such as asteroid sampling or comet energy collection."

"Therefore, we know almost nothing about the legends of Jirachi."

Elder Meteor nodded slightly: "If the return cycle of the Millennium Comet is the same as that of the colossal meteorite, with a giant meteorite falling in the Hoenn region every thousand years, I wonder if these meteorites themselves might be related to the Millennium Comet?"

"When Groudon and Kyogre fought for the power of nature, the people suffering from floods and droughts prayed to the universe. Could it be that they saw the Millennium Comet at that time?"

"Then, in a certain region of Hoenn, Jirachi awoke. It heard people's wishes and listened to the voice of the stars. With the help of the Millennium Comet, it brought over a huge rainbow meteorite."

"As the meteor descended, Rayquaza also appeared in the sky, calming the battle between the two ancient Pokémon."

"And in the second millennium, the same thing happened; people followed the ancient prayer rituals."

President Zvoich: "That's right. What you did back then was to make a wish around the seven-colored boulder."

"The ability to grant wishes echoes people's habit of making wishes upon stars, shooting stars, or comets, and the story of 'Dream Star' has been passed down in this way."

"It seems that if you make a wish on the seventh night, all your wishes will come true."

"I never expected that the first people to investigate Jirachi would be former Team Magma members."

In the communication of the Pokémon Device:
Daigo: [May has heard the sound of the stars, but she's not sure where it's coming from. Also, she met the boy you mentioned, the one with Pikachu!]

[Regarding the lullaby circulating in Weibai Town, I asked Xiaoyao and discovered it was a children's song that Mr. Qianli and his wife taught her! In other words...]

Hikari: "In other words, this nursery rhyme comes from the Johto region."

Because Haruka occupied the ecological niche of Senri's son, Haruka's father became Professor Birch. Of course, Haruka also possesses the singing and skills that Haruka displayed in the original anime.

After all, she and Xiaoyou were very close; they were neighbors in the same town and had even watched a meteor shower together. Even in the special episode world, the ancient Ruby and Safia, who correspond to the two of them, were the first official couple.

When not the protagonist, May explains that she has been traveling throughout the Hoenn region since childhood to help her father, Professor Birch, with his research. She frequently conducts field investigations, which is similar to why Safia in the other world always runs around wearing leaf clothes.

"Have you already sent people to the [location] of the Millennium Comet Festival?"

In the theatrical version, although the location of the Comet Festival is called "Farns' Playground", it takes about six days to drive from the playground to Jirachi's cave.

This made the moss ponder deeply.

The Hoenn region is not considered very large compared to other regions throughout history, with land and sea each making up about half of it. In particular, the event took place southwest of Mt. Chimney and directly north of LavaCity.

To be honest, isn't this place right in front of Groudon's old home?

When did Lao Gu secretly expand the land without letting Kyogre know?
"Anyway, it all makes sense now."

"A children's song from Johto is circulating in Littleroot Town. This is probably a song that came from the Hoenn region to Johto a long time ago. Jirachi was also awakened by the same song a thousand years ago. At the same time, this also corresponds to the approximate time when the Buried Tower was built."

"Ruins of Ascana, Ruins of Aluf, Buried Tower, Seven Islands, Unwhite Town"

"The most urgent task now is to explain who [The Great Magician Butler] is."

"The people of Farns are probably completely unaware that they are holding a carnival for the Millennium Comet."

"That guy used to be a [Magician], calling himself [The Great Butler]. But one day in the past, in order to prove his scientific research ability, he joined Team Magma. At that time, as a scientist, he helped Team Magma develop a device that planned to use the ancient remains of the original Pokémon to restore Groudon."

"However, when he activated the device and was about to begin the restoration, the device exploded because it did not have enough energy. After the experiment failed, he was ridiculed by the Lava Team executives and was subsequently expelled from the Lava Team."

"Before leaving, Butler swore a solemn oath of revenge. Judging from the intelligence on this incident, he probably wanted to reuse the old device and forcibly absorb the power of the comet and Jirachi, using the method of [Wish] to summon Groudon again."

"But the Groudon summoned in this way is not the real Groudon. Groudon should be in the alternate dimension of the Cavern of the Land right now, and it will occasionally spawn near Mt. Chimney. This is really a bit redundant."

In the original theatrical version, the "Earth Monster" summoned by Jirachi was destroyed by the "Destruction Wish" after absorbing the power of the Millennium Comet!
The Earth Monster, also known as Groudon, corresponds to the Sea Monster in the special episode.

It can absorb the life force of the earth and constantly devour energy. It is a berserk and irrational creature. At the same time, when it was defeated by the Destruction Wish, it also contributed the famous scene of "Groudon flying".

Although, the real old Gu did not take off.

But if the stunt double takes off, then it's considered flying.
Moreover, Butler is not entirely an animated character.

"After the Wishing Star event ends, Butler and his girlfriend Diane will spend some time atoning in Farns and living there. After restoring the natural ecosystem, they will leave Hoenn and appear in the Battle Frontier of the Sinnoh region!"

"On Route 229! Trainer type: [Elite Trainer]! The Pokémon they are carrying are at levels 55 and 56!"

Just like Pichu with Spiky Ears and Hiromi from The Prince of the Sea, some movie characters from past generations have actually appeared in the games and had streaming collaborations with them.

This is why many secret plot points are inevitably related to the theatrical version.

However, after BW, the theatrical version and the game content became too disconnected, and with the idea of ​​a soft reboot, the timeline that strongly connected the theatrical version and the game world ended with "Crypto-Time".

From Mewtwo's rise to power to Alpaca's destruction of the world, Ash also had his stats reset and became a complete newbie.

Hikari paused slightly, then re-explained to Daigo:
"That guy is a brilliant scientist, but as a former scientist of the Lava Team, he has no ambition to expand the land. He joined the team to prove his scientific abilities."

"So, he can be quite flashy and impractical at times."

"However, that device, which was once looked down upon, may become a treasure that saves or destroys this world. Therefore, the important thing now is to locate its coordinates. We need to send people to seize that machine with all our might!"

"We must protect Jirachi's energy before he uses it for foolish things."

"To be honest, I was quite surprised to hear from you that the Lava Team has transformed into a civil engineering company. I never imagined they would be helping disaster victims rebuild their homes."

"However, Butler's anger and past humiliations will not make him give up easily; he wants revenge against the current Lava team!"

Daigo: [The old Team Magma no longer exists. That extremist organization disappeared, replaced by the newly formed Magma Construction Company. I was quite surprised when I commissioned someone to investigate this part of the story.]

[It's said that Team Aqua, which has disappeared from public view, is also doing work to protect the marine environment, and therefore has moved far away from the Hoenn mainland. Some people have seen their members in Lilycove City. Moreover, this information was confirmed by MapleStory, the leader of Team Magma.]

Once, Crimson Pine and Water Willow were members of the same organization, but due to differences and conflicts in their ideals, the two, who were originally very close, parted ways.

This is also the root cause of the Hoenn tragedy two years ago.

Although the two knew each other in the three gems, they did not have a good relationship and had no noteworthy past experiences, as demonstrated in the RR incident that occurred in the Alola region.

However, in the remastered gems, the two were once close friends, and there are some strange details about their base.

Scorch represents the ideal world for humanity, while Archie aims to create a home where Pokémon can live freely. Their ideals are amplified further in the remake world.

Lightmoy: "That's right. As for the source of their thinking, let me tell you something interesting."

"Especially Archie. In Team Aqua's base, a blurry photo of Archie when he was young was found. In the photo, he is with a certain Pokémon. Some people speculate that Archie was once friends with Jirachi."

The photo shows [a bald boy, a black-haired girl, and a Pokémon with three notes stuck to its head.]

"And it is so vaguely marked—January 7, 002, a photo with Archie and Jirachi."

I wonder if this part was added in response to a reverse input from the special edition manga!

Because Archie and Jirachi are completely unrelated in the three gems. Only in the Emerald arc of the special episode did Archie from another world capture Jirachi in order to fulfill his wish.

As it turns out, in the later game world, Archie and Jirachi are actually close friends, a fact shown in Master Po's game storyline. They even meet up, playing on the Ultra Worm theme.

Because Maple and Minami from Green Moss City encountered the Ultra Cave, Archie brought Jirachi and had Maple make a wish, which saved Minami, who was sucked into the Ultra Cave, without any harm or amnesia!

The power of a wish can even eliminate the influence of the ultimate aura!

Daigo was also taken aback: "So, in other words, Archie actually met Jirachi a long time ago. Does that mean Archie is the one who knows Jirachi best?"

[This is truly an astonishing secret! I understand now. I know why Redmoon's expression was so subtle when I asked him about Jirachi! He used to be friends with Archie, so he knows Archie's secret too!]

So, does this mean that Archie encountered another Jirachi before and made that wish?

Guangtai: "Although it's just a guess, and it may not actually have been granted by him, I roughly know the content of that wish."

"Of course, it wasn't a wish like 'Let Kyogre rule the world and sink the land into the sea.' Archie was still very young back then, and his wish was—"

"His only wish is that humans and Pokémon can continue to laugh."

"Therefore, although the Hoenn region is full of crises, it has always been able to turn danger into safety. Even Archie's own plan failed because he made such a wish a long time ago."

"The wish has been fulfilled, just like Jirachi's signature move, 'Destruction Wish,' this wish is delayed in its manifestation!"

"Therefore, no matter what kind of crisis the Hoenn may encounter, perhaps there is no need to worry."

"Now send a message to Haruka, telling her to find a way to take Jirachi back from Butler immediately. Butler will use the singing voices of boys and girls to try to make them friends with the Star Child!" "Within seven days, it will choose a pure-hearted boy who can protect himself as a partner, that is, the chosen one! Butler's touring magic shows are to wait for the boy to appear."

"Although this reason is very strange and subtle, looking for the boy at the amusement park is indeed a good idea."

If Max hadn't gone to investigate with May, wouldn't Ash be the only one left who is considered to have a pure heart?

Since May already has her own extra movie, The Ocean Prince, let's leave this opportunity to Ash.

After all, Xiaoyao had complained that her younger brother, Xiaosheng, was not an innocent boy at all!
"On the first day, Xiaoyao did not find the star crystal."

"The second day marked the beginning of the night of escape."

"Now, when we received the news, it was already the third night!"

On the Lightmoss side, they arrived at the cliff cave on Route 47, not far from the Buried Tower. Even in this little-known area, where there's no signal, the PokéDevice can still communicate normally. It has to be said that the communication technology in the Pokémon world is indeed quite advanced.

In the movie, Butler was too eager to obtain Jirachi's power and conducted a test, which caused the device to explode again!
At the same time, Diane was able to rescue Jirachi and drive Ash and his friends to the Star Cave in Farns. She also believed that on the seventh day, Butler's ambition would naturally end, and he would definitely turn back into the original Butler.

"However, the Star Cave of Farns is the last and biggest trap Butler has set for Jirachi. Only here will the energies of Jirachi and the Millennium Comet resonate with each other and reach their maximum!"

Daigo: [If that's the case, then Rayquaza might not have time to take off. The supplies from the Dragon Kingdom haven't arrived yet.]

Furthermore, the aerial acrobatics competition and the prayer ceremony offered to Rayquaza must also be held within these seven days.

[The person who will take off with Rayquaza has already been decided, between Yuu and Haruka. We have two spacesuits, developed by Team Magma and Team Ocean respectively. They were originally created by combining Devon Corporation technology to cope with the harsh conditions of the Temple of Awakening.]

However, if Yuu doesn't arrive in time, in order to prevent Sigana from sacrificing herself, and also to use her and the second Rayquaza as backup, I, as the alternate, may have to go to space.

How should I put it? I kept having recurring dreams about dying. Although you, the shopkeeper, said they were memories projected from a parallel world, after learning about my father's dimensional teleportation device and talking with the Meteor People, I also realized the existence of other worlds.

However, regardless of the world, I seem to always face life-or-death choices—or rather, that's the norm.

[Having never controlled a Dragon-type Pokémon before, I've formed a friendship with Rayquaza within these two months.]

As the champion, it's time to fulfill my responsibilities!

Lightmoy: "If we're talking about this, I feel like I should make you something like a [Champion's Cloak], but that prop is a bit unlucky."

“We’ll be able to meet soon, and I will give the grass-green orb to Rayquaza.”

"Then, although the supplies from the Dragon Kingdom haven't arrived yet, we have no choice but to set off ahead of schedule for the Hoenn region!"

"Since this is a ceremony to honor Rayquaza, how can Rayquaza not be present! I can also use Pokémon related to the universe, so this time, let me take off on a rocket!"

"Also, regarding the results of the previous investigation, what is the current situation of [Land Cave] and [Sea Cave]?"

Daigo: [Latest information from the Weather Institute! A violent storm has broken out on the waterways of the Hoenn region! The active area right now is the "Sea Cave"!]

Lightmoy: "So, what appears in the real world is the Cave of the Sea, while what exists in the other dimension is the Cave of the Land. That makes sense. If the event happens, in the worst-case scenario, we might even have to use the Crimson Pearl!"

"Kyogre's power will plunge Hoenn into endless thunderstorms. If it were used to suppress the monsters of the earth, the result would be terrible. Therefore, the monsters of the earth should be dealt with by the masters of the earth themselves."

"Therefore, we must awaken Groudon as well! Right here in the Burial Tower!"

Is this the Ultraman film set?

Belial wreaked havoc in the Land of Light? No, it hasn't reached that level yet. And while this world doesn't have the mysterious old man, it does have the mysterious alpaca.

And there's also a giant monster battle!
Steven: [I see. Awakening Groudon again sounds incredibly dangerous, but nothing is more dangerous than the crisis of the Hoenn region's or even the planet's destruction.]

[If Groudon could understand us, it would definitely help us, if it really does react to the Burial Tower as you say.]

[Manager, there's another lady in this tower who wants to see you. She also wants to see what the grass-green jewel is. And, somewhat unexpectedly...]

Uh, I feel like she's haunting me.

"Are you talking about Xi Jiana?"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

It was during the communication between Hikari and Daigo.

A beam of blue-purple light suddenly shot out from the distant Hoenn region!
From the amusement park near Farns, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, heading towards the universe!

then--

The first ray of light emitted from the Eye of Truth in Jirachi's abdomen shot toward the Millennium Comet!

The comet flashed brightly for a moment, then shot back a huge beam of blue-purple light!

But this time, the radiance didn't return to Jirachi; instead, it was intercepted by the red sphere within the colossal meteorite!
[Finally! The burning power of the Star God! Belongs to me!]

[This energy is even greater than what I received the last time I touched it! So that explains it—only Jirachi, the Star Child, can obtain true energy from the Millennium Comet!]

Leveling up is just the most basic thing. Your own stats also increase rapidly, as if you have gone through many battles. In a world without an upper limit, or rather, the real upper limit is 65536!

This is the most powerful force in the world!

[It's not over yet! The power of the stars can continue to grow! I foresee the future!]

Powerful superhumans, like Sabrina, can even foresee a vague future three years from now.

In the consciousness of Deoxys Belial, who had obtained the power of the stars, it also saw Jirachi's future!

There will be one more energy irradiation. The first one was just a test and a trap. The second one will be the real moment to release the comet's sparks!
[This is incredible! It can even foresee seven days into the future! If we cut off Jirachi's energy, not only will I gain power, but that land brimming with natural energy will also give birth to an unstoppable monster!]

Deoxys Belial let out a joyful and excited cry, and then he saw two beams of light appear from the land beyond this planet.

The light transformed into the aurora borealis, displaying dazzling colors in the sky above the planet. Then, those inexplicable fellow races appeared!

[So weak, is this the kind of life that could have originated on this planet?]

Get out of my way, you stumbling blocks!

[Cosmic Power!]

Draw mysterious power from the universe to enhance your defense and special defense!

Deoxys (Birth Island): [Destructive Ray!]

Deoxys (Firee): [Mental Charge!]

Three Deoxys engaged in a fierce battle in the distant universe!

No one knows about this cosmic catastrophe!

On a large ship in the sea surrounding the Hoenn region.

Archie, the leader of Team Aqua, heard a man's voice coming from the Pokémon Device. When he heard that Jirachi was going to be used, his anger was palpable!
"Magic Butler, who was expelled from the Lava Team by Fains!"

“Red Flame Pine, you have already sent Fire Goose and Fire Village to retrieve the [Regeneration Device] and capture Butler. I never thought that one day we would become a righteous organization.”

"This matter concerns Jirachi. I will never allow my friends to be used as tools! Listen up, men! Change course! Target: Mount Kami!"

"We're going to transport Groudon's Crimson Orb to the Burial Tower! It's a place I've never even heard of, but when it comes to shipping, I'm an expert!"

So, it took about a day!

On the night of the fourth day.

Archie's fleet arrived at Mt. Okami from the waters of Hoenn, retrieved the Crimson Orb, and sailed at full speed toward the Burial Tower in the Johto region.

When we first arrived at the Burial Tower, the crimson orb emitted a dazzling light!

"Oh, this light is..." Archie looked at the light bursting from the orb in disbelief. Unlike when they forcibly controlled it before, this time the orb seemed to sense some kind of resonant energy, the same as the Awakening Temple in the Hoenn region. No, it should be said that it was a gentler, but stronger, energy!

He stood at the bow of the ship, looking in the direction guided by the crimson light!

Inside the Buried Tower, Lightmoss took out a grass-green orb from her backpack.

The tower is filled with ozone. Although you can stay near the entrance and communicate with Rayquaza, you can't go any further.

However, through the telepathic communication of the grass-green orb, Rayquaza already knew what was about to happen.

[If there's only one Groudon that I can awaken, even if I'm injured, I can still defeat it again.]

However, if the earth ceases to exist, it too will vanish. So, this time it will be our companion, perhaps. Anyway, summon it! In the Buried Tower, a place we cherish, even Groudon and Kyogre won't dare to act recklessly!

The grass-green glow echoed the Sky God's presence. This ancient dragon god, enveloped in ozone, flew upwards towards the top of the tower, relinquishing the [Earth] below.

Then, the emblem representing Delta began to disappear.

The spatial domain of Liekongzuo gradually disappeared, disappearing into the darkness.

Instead, it's represented by "Ω Omega!"

Daigo: "Rayquaza has disappeared!"

"You cannot enter the Buried Tower until you obtain the Indigo Orb or the Crimson Orb. You can only awaken Rayquaza by encountering Groudon or Kyogre. Although the order is reversed now, the result is the same. We can use the orbs to switch the space inside the tower!"

Lightmoss: "The crimson pearl seems to have arrived. Look, the sunlight is already intense here!"

This time, Old Gu appears as a righteous monster.

Is this really Godzilla, or Gomora?
"Characteristic·Sunshine!"

Amidst the sun and the intense heat and drought, a colossal figure gradually emerged from another dimension.
The legendary Pokémon of the continent!
