Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 601 The Ruler of Darkness, Hoennium on the Verdurous Star, and the Ancient Galgantia
--------

Farnes, western Hoenn region.

The destroyed mountains and lands were restored to their original state, and the earth monster's body began to melt gradually. It stretched out its claws, trying to touch Groudon, and even in its last moments of death, it did not forget to seize the natural energy.

Endless rays of light descended, but none were given to the earth monsters.

Amidst the wailing roars, there was no consciousness; only the instinct to devour remained at play.

An endless stream of meteors has arrived.

Ultimately, how could a mere counterfeit possibly beat the genuine article! In the end, I won!

However, I'm already quite satisfied with this battle, and I've absorbed a lot of natural energy, so I need to digest it.

Ah, how nostalgic! Look at these shooting stars, it's like a thousand, two thousand years ago, countless meteors crashing down, releasing abundant natural energy, and then, my history with Kyogre and Rayquaza began!

Groudon reverted to its Primal Reversion form, and the crimson orb transformed into a stream of light that left its body. Then it looked towards the distant stone peak, where the Pokémon left behind by the people of the gods resided.

Holding the orb and gazing at the sky is a Pokémon that looks like a robot. Hmm, Gardevoir, or Gallade?

She just stared at the sky, completely oblivious to what was happening here.

[Do you regret never having traveled to space?]

Of course, taking Pokémon into space... how many Pokémon could survive in outer space?

To be honest, I've never flown in my life, though I have experienced sinking at sea, but that was absolutely terrible.

The power of destruction has transformed into the power of giving. The gentle light will surely restore the lush vegetation here. Ah, but what does that have to do with me?

Groudon turned in another direction and left.

"Groudor is going back to Chimney Mountain, and that's not the direction of Buried Tower."

"It was originally hidden in the Cave of Land, in a different dimension. If it were to enter Chimney Mountain, wouldn't it cause a massive volcanic eruption?"

Crimson Pine patted the regeneration device, while Fire Village looked somewhat embarrassed: "Chief, the device was finally repaired, is it just going to be useless like this?"

"The terrain and topography of Farns seem to have returned to normal as well."

“Idiot.” Red Flame Pine pushed up his glasses. “Have you forgotten the connection between Jirachi and the comet? After the Star Child absorbed the energy, it still needed to use the power of the instrument here to inject the energy back into the earth.”

"The stolen natural energy has not been fully returned, and the earth monsters are lying on the ground melting into mud. Clearly, they still need our help."

"This is crucial to the prosperity of the Hoenn region for the next thousand years, and whether humans and Pokémon can survive in this ideal world. Check the equipment quickly; there can't be any mistakes at this final moment!"

"Also, I'm going to see Butler; that guy has come back to life too."

At this moment, a bearded, dark-faced man in a diving suit walked over:
"Jirachi arrived in space safely. It seems my wish from before still works! Hahahaha!"

"After that, return the crimson jewel. The New AZOTH Project will be successfully completed. That's all. It's best to keep everything as it is."

Archie makes a wish to Jirachi, whom she had met before.

May the joy between humans and Pokémon last forever.

Of course, if it were a special episode version of Archie, she would probably say something like, "My wish has been granted, this guy is useless now."

After all, they are two different people.

"Look up at the sky and make a wish, and the stars will shine quietly~. Make a wish upon the stars, and the future will sparkle~."

Ah~ my once lonely heart is now deeply surrounded by your light~.

Crimson Pine: "Hmm? What song is this? I've never heard it before. And your singing is surprisingly good, though a bit too rough."

Water Archie laughed heartily: "That was a song I sang to Jirachi a long time ago."

----------

In outer space, Jirachi's soft, childlike voice echoed in everyone's heart:

"There's one more wish that can be granted!"

"Would you like to make a wish? Have you thought about what you want to wish for?"

None of them had any particular wishes they wanted to fulfill. For these brave young men and women, their wishes were to be realized through their own hard work.

Ash wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Yu is already a champion, while Haruka wants to become as strong as Yu and defeat Daigo.

Daigo, being a rich young master, didn't have any particular desires. He couldn't just get more stones from space; they might just turn into a second super-sized meteorite. Besides, he had actually obtained quite a few special stones this time, even though he was currently exhausted and unconscious.

Light Moss: ["On this shore, don't you have any wishes you'd like to make?"]

Xi Jiana: "If I were to make a wish, I would want people to never be separated from what they desire."

"Anything beautiful is acceptable."

Light Moss: ["Wait, this won't do."]

Shiona blinked, while Gleam thought of Jirachi in the rescue team. When Jirachi made the wish that "any good thing will do," it would pull over any Pokémon that was originally in another place.

During the Red/Blue Rescue Team event, players used this wish to boost their teammates' progress, and the teammates all expressed their gratitude.

Xi Jiana chuckled and shook her head: "Although I don't know why it won't work, since you said so, I'll believe you."

"Then, let's change our wish."

As she said this, she suddenly looked in a certain direction in the universe!

Her senses, as a spirit of the dead, allowed her to foresee the appearance of a certain special Pokémon?!

"Huh, what's going on? There seems to be something there."

boom!
The enormous cave, which resembled a distortion of space and time, shone with an eerie rainbow light, appearing as if space itself had exploded!

The Ultimate Cave of Hoenn!
In ORAS, an ultimate cave appeared in the Battle Frontier and brought a handsome amnesiac from another world!

The protagonist will encounter a handsome man on the beach at the battle resort. He is soaking wet, lying on the shore being washed by the waves, and severely dehydrated. A kind older woman passes by and helps him back to her cabin. Later, the player can meet the two again in the house on the far right of the battle area, and learn from the older woman that the handsome man has lost his memory.

Talking to the handsome guy at this point reveals that his only memory begins with his lucidity on the beach, but he has no recollection of his identity or purpose.

While the dialogue is taking place, the background music switches to a theme featuring a handsome man, but with a slower and slightly melancholic melody.

Later, in the Sun and Moon eras, the reason for this was revealed: the only Ultra Cave in the Hoenn region had been opened!
"The Ultimate Cave! Was it opened by Rayquaza, Deoxys, and Jirachi's light, or is there something behind the cave?"

Lightmoss didn't have a backpack on her body because she was wearing a spacesuit, so she left the backpack below her. However, she still carried Prism Star with her.

At this moment, the Prism Star released a bright light, and at the same time, the Hoenn region was greeted by a long night. However, this time, there seemed to be strange weather with a cloudy sky. Endless darkness rose from the edge of the earth and overflowed from the Ultra Hole!
[Attack chance +40%]

Attack probability increased by 60%.

[Attack chance +100%!]

The Prism Star has changed—

[Obtained: Ultimate Necrophos Z!]

A jet-black grappling hook appeared beyond the Ultimate Cavern, accompanied by a shrill howl, drawing in endless darkness!

Pokémon that once illuminated the universe like the sun, but now...
He is the ruler of darkness!
He's also the Dark Universe Emperor, Alien Empera?!

The last member of the destroyed world, harboring resentment towards the light, launched a war of revenge against the light of the entire universe, bearing the resentment of all his people.

Invading the Planet Ultra!

“LinoooLiiight”

““Li Nuo.””

"Boom! (A burst of light!)!"

"I already know the third wish. The creature before me once possessed power surpassing all the legendary Pokémon that have ever appeared!"

So, the Ultimate Beast is a monster brought by Alien Empera, and we're going to have a Great Ultra War?
Speaking of which, Necrozma's light does indeed inject energy into the Ultra Dimension!

Seeing everyone assume battle stances, Lightmoy waved her hand: [“Don’t fight! You’ll be sucked into the Ultimate Void! Once you’re sucked into a distant universe, there’s no saving you! You’ll never be able to return to this world!”]

"I want to make a wish!"

"Can you relieve a Pokémon's pain and restore it to its original state in this instant?"

Jirachi: "No. This is impossible."

"This tormented monster, its power has spread throughout many universes."

Hikari thought to herself, "Jirachi really is Shenron. He has wishes that can be fulfilled, but also wishes that cannot be fulfilled."

Compared to Jirachi, the astronomer of the Labyrinth World, Jirachi in this world is slightly weaker, which is normal, given that it sleeps for too long.

Moreover, how can the brilliance of a comet compare to that of the sun?

Necrozma has stolen the light of an entire world and even tried to devour the light of Alola. The impact of Pokémon is different from their strength.

"Jirachi, well then... I want to change my third wish."

"The Ultimate Hole cannot 'casually' take any life from our world! Unless someone leaves voluntarily or opens it intentionally!"

"May this planet be at peace for a thousand years, until the next thousand-year cycle begins!"

The goal is to make the Ultra Cavern controllable, rather than handing over the right to open it to the Ultra Beasts!
"It seems there's another Pokémon that can ignore my wishes, so my wishes can be granted, but not completely."

Jirachi was somewhat startled. Looking at the grappling hook emerging from the Ultra Cave, it struggled to speak:
"This cave opened up from the depths of the universe, to a very distant part of the universe, which even I cannot see! So, for now, we can only prevent the cave from naturally sucking us in, but we cannot stop the creatures in the cave from grabbing people. However, we can drive them back."

"As time goes by, the power from the distant universe will gradually recover because there is simply too much of it."

Even so, should we still fulfill our wish?

Lightmoss: ["That's fine then. Please grant my wish, but don't send my Tetsuka Kaguya back!"]

A third ray of light emanated from the Eye of Truth on Jirachi's abdomen, and the words of a wish appeared on the wishing slip.

The Ultra Hole and the dark aura before them were rapidly receding. Necrozma, which had come for the light, stared intently at the moss on Mega Rayquaza's head with its iridescent eyes!

The Ultimate Hole has been closed, the sources of light that illuminate the universe.
Am I just being expelled like this?
The silver light emanating from Jirachi was something the Dark God desperately desired.

As the Ultimate Cavern closed, Necrozma heard Jirachi's voice:

"Your wish has been granted!"

The dark ruler roared in utter despair, calling for light. It had lost its former rationality, leaving only the madness that followed its corruption.

In this respect, the current situation of the Radiant God is exactly the same as that of the Black Emperor, whose mind has collapsed in the Labyrinth World.

"From this moment forward, all light will be obscured, and this planet will be silenced!"

"I will return and turn this place into a dark wasteland, to perish along with Alora! Give me the light!"

In the distant ultimate metropolis.

On the Tower of Light, Ultimate Necrozma was sent back along the same path by the power of the wish, crashing into the tower with a roar, causing the tower's light to dim!

The tower gradually collapsed.

The Ultimate Metropolis seemed to have lost its light once again. Terrified cries echoed throughout the city, and Amama, the girl from the Ultimate Expedition, rushed towards the tower!

"Radiant God, Radiant God! What happened to you?! Why did you suddenly leave? Why did you fall from the sky?!"

"Please stop going mad. Are you about to awaken? In some distant world, a light that you crave has appeared?"

Behind Amam, the rest of the Ultimate Investigation Team appeared.

"Necrozma has gone mad. Without a doubt, it has rushed into other universes."

"Could it be the [Beast That Devours the Sun] that has appeared?"

"And look! A brilliant light is shooting out of the Ultimate Cave, and the cave is closing itself?! This light is beneficial to the growth of the legendary beasts."

"But this is not normal. We need to call upon Lunayara!"

Above Hoenn.

The Ultimate Hole slammed shut, and three emerald stars shone brightly in space, seemingly conversing.
Jirachi yawned and slowly fell into Ash's arms:
“I’m a little tired, and I want to go back to Farns.”

"How wonderful! This time, it seems I can stay awake for eight days. That's one day more than the last millennium. The passage of time in the universe is truly fascinating."

"Will my wish be of any help to you? If so, that would be wonderful."

Lightmoss: ["The long and terrifying era of wandering has ended, and we have finally attained a prosperous and glorious paradise."]

"So, isn't this world just like..."

In the distant depths of space, in the Ultimate Metropolis (Galactic Humans), battles rage between Necrozma and the Ultra Beasts. Due to a time-travel accident, they are transported to an undiscovered planet inhabited by humans, a planet with oceans and islands.
Formerly known as Earth.
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet!

"Can you tell me my wish?"

Jirachi addressed the group, "I want to hear a song. When we return to Farns, will you sing for me?"

"I want to hear a lullaby, but this time I'll listen to the song about the stars."

"Song of the Meteor".

“Then, I’ll sing for you, Star Child.” Xijiana smiled and said to Xijiana, “Other Shore, join me too.”

"You may not be alone in your dreams."

Lightmoss's words surprised both Shiogana and Kirachi.

"Well, the mysterious little gadget was left on the ground: Dream Smoke, which allows Pokémon to enter the world of dreams and enjoy themselves forever. Of course, perhaps one day, you too can be like another Jirachi in a Star Cave in some distant universe, skilled in astronomical observation, able to remain awake at any time instead of waking up only once every thousand years."

"However, if that's the case, then humans will surely keep chasing after you because of their desires."

"After entering the dream world, you will no longer be alone for the next millennium. You will see many friends in the dream world, and even legendary Pokémon from a distant world."

Jirachi blinked, gradually understanding Lightmoss's words, and revealed a happy and surprised smile.

"If such dreams really exist."

"I love it! I can't wait!"

The Tree of Connection was destroyed three thousand years ago, so much so that Pokémon could not freely enter and exit the Dream World. But now it's different!

The world of dreams will become increasingly prosperous and magical, and new stories will be told!
However, thinking about it this way, it feels somewhat like Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Haruka: ["Looking back one last time at the vast, distant universe. Although it's pitch black, it feels like I can see all the constellations in the Hoenn region."]

"Gardevoir, Machoke and Seviper, Milotic, Gliscor, Ursaring and Teddiq, and Kyogre!"

"Ah! It looks like I really see Kyogre!"

Xiao You: [“Let’s all watch the Leonid meteor shower together when we get back to Earth.”]

"In Sky Pillars or Mossdeep City, Hoenn's thousand-year history is condensed into this distant meteor shower. It's incredibly significant! May, we're right, Ash, let's join us too!"

"Black Rayquaza also wants to go see, but we need to get Mr. Daigo down for treatment right away!"

Xiaoyao: [“I…I’m so happy! Hey, wait, what did you say?”]

Ash: ["I sense something's off, but whatever, please let me come along!"]

Snapped!
Suddenly, Higana's arm was grabbed, and Daigo, who had been unconscious, gradually woke up.

Jirachi's wish came true, and Steven's condition was restored, making the boys and girls happy!
"It seems I woke up at the wrong time."

Daigo sensed something had just happened, but then Hikari's voice came through the communicator:

"No, you've woken up at just the right time! It's time to go home."

"The job is done, Champion. The Hoenn region, the land of the shining star, from a thousand years ago to a thousand years later, across the vast universe, the love between humans and Pokémon transcends the stars. It's all over!"

Guangtai retracted the panting Tetsuka, after all, the young lady was not good at landing, and she could still hear the young lady's terrified gasps.

"I was terrified! What was that thing? There's something like that hiding in the Ultimate Space! How scary, so scary!"

"I never want to go to the Ultimate Space again! The world of Kaminarimon is so much better! I'm sorry, but I actually thought I was an Ultra Beast like you. I'm just cosmic trash! I don't want to be Lone Rocket! Waaaaah, I'm going to get caught by the Grappling Hook and killed! Rocket's light, it'll eat me up! Help!"

Now is fantasy time.

Why do I become so terrified just by seeing the other person that I'm completely flustered, even imagining a hundred ways I could die?

"Steel-type Pokémon aren't so easily defeated, and the light from the rocket's exhaust was too weak. Although it's called a Starship, it's more like a regular meteor."

【"It's just a paramecium."】

"However, in the place where light shines, loneliness has nowhere to hide. Kaguya, don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

Tetsuka Kaguya: ["Yes! Yes! Please, please take good care of me in the future, Captain!"]

Three Rayquazas and three Deoxys fell into the atmosphere, along with the Leo meteors.

Rushing towards Hoenn.
