Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 613 The Beginning of the Galar Championship, Until the End of the First World!
"A truly wicked person would die from just a glare. So that's what it means. It blasted the ocean apart?! Yes, even with the backlash from rough skin, a single punch to obliterate the opponent is no problem!"

"The longer you live, the more different kinds of strength you get to witness!"

There is more than one kind of strength in this world, and I want to see more of them.

This is exactly the wish I made when I was young.

And now, it's come true!

"However, Sharpedo does indeed attack Dark-type Pokémon in the surrounding waters. Doing good deeds is doing good deeds."

Seeing the Megalodon embedded in a giant rock and rendered unable to fight by a single punch, Masted couldn't help but exclaim in amazement once again!
"After this punch—no, it should be three punches—there probably won't be any more Megalodons appearing in the waters around the archipelago. Today's events will be remembered by the wild Pokémon. It's a good thing for passersby, but for cultivators, it's a shame to lose a training opportunity!"

The moss also revealed a subtle expression.

“Isn’t this good?”

"Does the training program at the Isle of Armor Martial Arts School include being chased by a Megalodon? I thought that guy was some kind of 'disaster' in the area. Swimming against a shark... I don't want to be too rude, but that's far too dangerous. We need to prepare that for our disciples."

Get the machine guns ready.

"Speaking of which, among the [Field Moves] and [Target Clear] used by the rangers, Megalodon's clearing ability is only Level 4 Destruction, which used to rampage through the sea, destroying giant rocks and ships. Now, it's the other side that's holding it back."

That said, the stats for tardigrades are indeed high.

This hasn't even started the monkey show yet, and the regular enhancements are already this terrifying!
Ma Shide: "Oh my, if things go like this, only Ayaka's monstrous strength can fight this Martial Arts Bear Master! This guy is already a legendary messenger of the gods. Without a doubt!"

"In the training to come, bring out your fighting spirit! Perfect timing, bring out the [Earth Shatter] technique you learned from your teacher!"

Ayaka: "I...I'll fight this martial arts bear master?!"

Even though Bea often trains with Pokémon, this was the first time she felt a lack of confidence.
No, this isn't the first time!

She had witnessed extraordinary combat methods during her previous training with Hikari!

Ma Shide: "Hey, hey, if you're planning to take down Little Dandan, you can't be intimidated by a martial arts master. Even if it's your teacher's Pokémon, as a [training partner], you don't want the power gap to be too big, right?"

"Therefore, even if you haven't become a champion yet, you must have the spirit of a champion."

Of course, even if Bea defeats Leon, she cannot become the "youngest champion," because Leon won the championship at the age of 10, even younger than Red, Blue and Green Leaf.

What is little known is that the characters in the photos, "Crimson," "Leaf," and "Green," all won championships at the age of 11.

Hikari: "However, with Ayaka's current strength, if she continues to train, she should have no problem becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings in other regions."

"Of course, although there is still a huge gap between you and Dan Di, you can't stop at just defeating him, you have to surpass him. This is both a dream and a responsibility that you must undertake. It is the job of a champion."

Cai Dou is at least someone with real combat experience.

Although I am still young and have not yet reached the level of the Dawnwing era.

However, during her time with Dawn Wings, Bea once fought Leon to the limit and won the runner-up title in the previous Champions Cup before the protagonists' journey.

This is incredibly impressive, with verifiable records! It's even better than Ayane's record in the anime TV series!

In addition, the fighting attribute is also a classic attribute of the Four Heavenly Kings, such as Shiba, Lianwu, and Hara. Combined with the background setting, as Qibana said, he was once slightly better than Nie Zi, but he never defeated Mei Rong.

Therefore, the four Heavenly Kings of Galar are actually...
The Dragon-type is Kibana, the Ice-type is Miyo, the Dark-type is Nie Zi, and the Fighting-type is Aya. However, the only confusing one is the Fairy-type is Popura.
The Fairy type was a new type discovered around the time of the XY era, yet it has been in use for 70 years. Professor Syracuse must be filled with remorse upon seeing this. Coupled with the Hoenn Mega Stone inheritance incident, he will probably be expelled from academia for academic fraud.

Peoni: "By the way, what kind of god's messenger is that bear? Where did this god's messenger come from that looks so terrifying? It must be a mutation!"

Ma Shide: "Big ones and the like. There are differences in size and physical ability. How about that? The ecology of Pokémon is amazing, isn't it!"

"However, this old man also needs to get some exercise!"

Although Ma Shide's expression was smiling, his eyes were very serious and earnest.

Really.
"The so-called 'one force can overcome all Pokémon' is really something that there's no good way to deal with."

"The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament... does this mean I've already failed before I even stepped onto the stage?"

There are no Dynamax Power Points in the Johto region, so Dynamax Urshifu can be disregarded. However, as a martial arts master, there is no need for him to rely on the power of Dynamax.

Moreover, when it comes to representing Pokémon, his partner and companion is actually his mentor, Itachi.

Ma Shide: "So, little moss, what did you mean by what you just said? In other regions, the champions seem to have many part-time jobs. They are one of the leaders of the league, and I've also heard of them serving as investigators or search officers, and even missionaries."

"However, in Galar, the champion is the king of sports. Galar is a very peaceful place now, so there shouldn't be any mysterious organizations that the champion needs to fight, right?"

"I sense a sense of urgency from your high expectations for Xiaocaidou."

"It's urgent, but not that tense. It's just a little bit of hope." Guangtai shook her head: "What if I told you that Mr. Loz, the president of the Galar Alliance, has hidden a super powerful time bomb under the energy plant in Gongmen City that could affect the entire Galar region?"

Masde: "Little Loz, you can't just say things without evidence. Who hides a time bomb to blow up their own factory?"

Hikari: "I think so too. Some things, even if they're true, when you say them, people will think, 'What are you talking about?' That's probably the kind of thinking they have."

The sudden explosion in Miyamon City is unimaginable. It's not like the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City; gas explosions are something that wouldn't happen.

When Chairman Rose told Leon that energy would be depleted in a thousand years, Leon had the same reaction.

What are you talking about?.JPG

I simply cannot understand it, and naturally I wouldn't believe it. Even if I did see it with my own eyes, how could a person do something so big!

What exactly are you trying to do?!

Ah, there are quite a few people in the Pokémon world who have pulled off something like this before. Oh well, never mind.

"No! I believe it!"

Unexpectedly, Pione suddenly interjected, crossing his arms: "Well, if it were anyone else doing this, I wouldn't believe it, but if it's Loz, then it's not surprising!"

"That guy has always liked to talk to himself and never treats anyone as an equal. He always does whatever he wants. Ever since he took advantage of winning second place in the league competition and became famous overnight..."

Masted's eyes widened, and he burst into laughter: "You're taking this too seriously! Even if you hate Loz, you shouldn't say things like that."

"However, it seems necessary to listen to their opinions. Although I don't intend to interfere too much, after all, I'm just a retiree."

"After all, it's not the elderly who create the new era."

Of course, it's normal that Mr. Ma doesn't care about Galar; for him, taking care of the Isle of Armor is all that matters.

Guangtai thought that in the special episode, Sword and Shield, Teacher Ma also acted in the same way. For him, the Galar League, which once made him fix matches, and its current operating model must have disappointed him a lot.

Even when the Dark Night attacked the entire Galar, he remained calm and composed, simply uttering a string of incomprehensible words before effortlessly deceiving the main characters.

But as I said before, in the special episodes during the Sword and Shield era, Chairman Rose was actually a pretty good person, at least not as crazy and absurd as he was in the games.

Of course, that's because in the special episode, the rate at which Galar particles are depleted is not one thousand years.

It's twenty years!
Twenty years from now, the Galar region will collapse due to energy depletion, which makes more sense that the chairman orchestrated the incident and took the blame.

Ayaka: "Eh, suddenly saying that President Rose has a problem or something... wait! Teacher, I remember you should be..."

Her expression became very subtle, but she didn't say anything.

International Police!

"Could it be that the United Tower has given some instructions?" Aya wondered, but these things seemed too far removed from her own experience.

“No, there’s nothing.” Hikari sensed Ayaka’s thoughts and looked at her: “At least for now, there’s nothing.”

"However, many things do not proceed according to the original history. The history of humans and Pokémon is intertwined. You probably cannot understand what I am saying right now."

"However, by simply considering the history of Team Rocket's activities in the Kanto region and the disasters in the Hoenn region, we can understand their motives."

"Thus, I understand what might happen next, sooner or later. After all, I have no right to accuse a president of an alliance. Even if I were the head of the alliance, President Ci would not be able to say such a thing here."

"Moreover, I saw it in the universe."

Ultimately, what gives people from other alliances the right to interfere in high-level issues in other regions?

As the saying goes, he is one of the four kings of Padiya and the new champion of Unova.
Ultimately, it still belongs to the league!

Faced with such a nonchalant accusation, President Loz could simply retort: ​​"You may have connections above you, but I have none! The future of Galar is none of your business!"

Moreover, even if the United Tower exists.

The tower is practically useless; the efficiency of the international police's investigation and operations is tragic. It seems that apart from the handsome men, there are hardly any people actually doing any work.

This isn't a special episode world; there's no Kuroji or magicians to help.

"Ah! No matter what, that annoying guy Loz is definitely up to something! I figured it out a long time ago! People from out of town can't just come up here and accuse him, right? There might really be something inside the energy plant! It's a pity we can't get in."

Pione, on the other hand, completely believed what Hikari said, not because the two of them were particularly close now, but because...
If you badmouth my brother, then we're brothers for life! No problem!
Anyway, we've already broken off all contact. I did this because I felt he was going to cause some big trouble in the future, and I wanted to avoid getting involved!
Aya: "Let's not do anything reckless. The Energy Plant is the core of Galar. All the energy is absorbed by the tower of the Hammerlocke Arena, and then it's converted into electricity in the underground factory to power the people of Galar."

"But teacher, what do you mean by seeing it in the universe?"

Lightmoss: "【Wishing Star】, no, it should be 【Dark Night】, influenced by the Voice of the Stars, or rather, by a certain Pokémon, many Dark Nights, as well as precious stones from the universe, have traveled from all over the universe for a thousand years to reach this place with the return of the Millennium Comet."

"The stars have returned along with the Leonid meteor shower. The Galar region must have noticed it too; the number of wishing stars falling has increased."

"People from distant regions like you probably don't know what happened in Hoenn before, but that's all in the past."

The glorious god has transformed into Emperor Empera and issued a proclamation of destruction for this world.

Eternatus will definitely be up to something big, after all, it's a representative Pokémon of the system, and Calyrex is furious about Dynamaxing.
Speaking of which, can the [Riding System] really defeat the [Dynamax System]?

Hard to say!

After all, the development codename for Sword and Shield was—

Sword and Shield - Orion -

Isle of Armor/Snowfield - Rigel - Betelgeuse.

Zacian and Zamazent correspond to the constellation Canis Major, while Mugentana corresponds to Halley's Comet and Rigel in Orion.

A dragon from a meteorite. This concept also references the dragon-shaped comet seen by King Uther, Arthur's father, during his early military campaigns in the Arthurian legends, and the seven-headed red dragon in the Book of Revelation that extinguished a third of the stars.

While the original design was very exciting, the original story of Sword and Shield was a complete mess. It was like Eterna itself, stripped of its vital flesh and blood, leaving only a useless, dead dragon with bones.

"Let's begin our training on the Isle of Armor! Let's prepare to become the evolved Martial Arts Bear Master!"

Lightmoss threw out a Poké Ball, and Fighting-type Pokémon, as well as Dolphin Man, who, although not a Fighting-type, is modeled after a hero, also made an appearance!
Peony stood on tiptoe: "Wow! Looks like a really intense battle is about to happen! Wait, you're carrying a lot of Pokémon!"

However, Mash and Bea can better see the extraordinary nature of these Pokémon!

"Well, if we're talking about the teacher's Pokémon having unique fighting styles and techniques, then there are the rest of the Pokémon I haven't seen before."

"They've split into two teams!"

"But, aren't we supposed to talk about the legend?" Bea looked at Moss in confusion. Moss held up a finger: "Before we humans talk, let the Pokémon start training on their own."

"My Pokémon trained under the 'God of Martial Arts,' and thus mastered many unique training techniques. You've seen it, haven't you? I spar with them."

Ayaka: "That's really amazing!"

Lightmoy: "Therefore, in order to prepare for the upcoming martial arts tournament, we need to help them further master their preferred combat skills."

"Then, Dolphin Man, use [Fog]!"

Lightmoss snapped his fingers, and Dolphin Man raised his hands high into the sky, making a heroic gesture!

Get down man!

A cold wind swept across the sea, and a thick fog rose up, obscuring the sky and the sun!

Ayaka: "Fog?!"

Ma Shide: "Oh, incredible! What is this? It's neither white mist nor black mist, but a [weather] that's even bigger than those two moves?!"

"I was just thinking that the Water/Fighting type overlaps with the Combo-style Urshifu, but it seems that's not the case!" "Could this Pokémon be a pure Water type?"

An amazing old man came up with some rather far-fetched legends and tales, which circulated around the world.
Ma Shide: "【Foggy weather】is something that symbolizes the strange and legendary. To be able to actively summon foggy weather, does that mean it's a kind of weather that can be actively released? I've never seen anything like it before!"

"The remaining few are no pushovers either! It seems that foggy weather is your secret weapon! You've been hiding such a powerful move, how cunning! Cloud, rain, fog, I understand why you're so fond of Water Fist."

The Pokémon that summoned the fog is called Dolphin Warrior? It seems to really enjoy making heroic entrances. It doesn't seem as strong as the later ones, but this weather is just... a bit eerie!

The strongest Lucario, one of the Champion's six ace Pokémon, possesses the ridiculously over-the-top battle technique "Ultra Instinct"!
Another slender female Pokémon I've never seen before, skilled in dance and martial arts, is quite powerful. Could she also be one of the ace Pokémon?

"Two Fighting types, Grass and Fighting, Steel and Fighting. Would you rather be a Steel-type expert or a Fighting-type expert?"

Next up is the Iron Warrior, who possesses the Chaos Blade (Melee Rush/Magic Rush) and is equipped with multiple light blade slashing systems.

This formation of infantry excels at siege warfare, possesses the "backwater formation," and can attack multiple times in a single turn. It may even have the potential for further evolution!
Lightmoss: "Dense fog connects this world with the other world; it's the weather that connects life and death, and mythology. A thick fog will envelop your vision, leaving everything a white expanse."

"Under the fog."

"The power of Solar Beam will be greatly reduced, the effects of light-type moves will be suppressed, and Weather Ball will either remain a Normal type or become a Water type, doubling its power."

"The fog summoned by my Dolphin Warrior will also reduce the power of electric-attribute moves to half their original value, which means that electric-attribute moves are useless!"

"At the same time, except for moves that are guaranteed to hit, all moves will become harder to hit!"

The team was divided into two groups.

Lucario vs. Martial Arts Bear Master.

Miss Skirt VS Iron Warrior.

Dolphin Man VS Line-up Soldiers.

The expressions and inner thoughts of Pokémon also contain a lot of meaning.

Lucario: [Finally, I've reached this level! My anger surges! Can you see through my movements?]

Martial Arts Master Kuma: [Will the legendary Super Lucario appear with this level of power? Unleash! Explode, explode, and more explode! Under the rain, I will strike in my ultimate form!]

Miss Washing Green Skirt: [It's been a long time since I've felt this way, struggling to hit enemies. Using the fog-clearing skill will solve that problem.]

Iron Warrior: [Future. System detection. My attacks will not miss! Sister, I will counter you twice as much; my chances of winning are extremely high!]

Dolphin Man: [Man! (Sonic boom. Meaningless battle cry!)]

Soldiers in formation: [waaaaahg! (A desperate battle cry with no way out!)]

Hikari looked at the thoughtful Masted, the eager Aya who seemed ready to join the battle, and the confused Pione:
"Of course, foggy weather is also more suitable for telling ancient stories, that's the atmosphere. There are places in the Galar region that are shrouded in fog all year round, right? Fog is also very common in Galar, after all, it is the 'Foggy Region'."

"Fog will occur in various plains and open areas."

"And it's not just one place, there's also the Mystic Forest and the Slumbering Forest."

One wolf feigned sleep to lure the enemy.

How can Zacian not be considered a wolf?

Ma Shide: "I see. So this is how to deal with the invisible fist. Without [Mind's Eye] and [Insight], no matter how powerful the attack is, you're doomed if you miss in this environment!"

Lightmoy: "No, there's still one wrong point. Even if you [see through] it, it won't help."

"Because the accuracy decreases in foggy weather, it doesn't count as an increase in evasion rate. Just like Pokémon with Light Dust, Sand Veil, or Snow Veil can still be effective."

Lightmoy: "Well then, let's talk a little about the legends of the Dark Night."

"That came with the millennium comet, the Dragon Comet from Orion. It's a being that can release a huge amount of energy, and the Wishing Star was born from it. That's one-third of the star that fell to Earth."

"This is a well-known, yet incredibly vague, legend passed down through generations in Galar. It sets the stage early in a story."

"However, this story begins 20,000 years ago! Back then, this place was still in the Ice Age, right? Doesn't that seem a bit too early?"

"However, the horrific events occurred 3000 years ago, a time when the world was rife with war, and the first ancient civilizations began to slaughter each other, until..."

"The end of the First World."

----------

Three days later, in the southern part of the Galer region, in the town of Mugan.

"Sonia, wake up!"

The elderly doctor in a white coat came to the research table, looked at his granddaughter who was fast asleep on it, and gave her a hard tap on the back of the head!

The old professor is none other than Dr. Magnolia, a native professor from the Galar region. She was the first person to study Dynamax. Working closely with President Rose of the Maroccomon Group, she used the property of Wishing Stars to attract and absorb Galar Particles to control the Dynamaxing of Pokémon, thus verifying previous hypotheses.

Among the researchers who studied Dynamax at the time, some benefited from it, displaying extraordinary talent and rising to high positions within the Marocmon Group. One such researcher was Olivia.
Once upon a time, her granddaughter Sonia, along with the current champion Leon, the Waterfowl Town Gym Leader Lurina, and the Hammerlocke City Gym Leader Raihana, traveled all over Galar, constantly striving to become champion trainers.

However, after a certain incident, Sonia gave up her dream of becoming a champion and returned to the research institute, becoming her own assistant.

However, even now, the mystery of Dynamax has not been completely solved. It has only been made possible in battles, and Galar has gradually become more prosperous.

He had hoped his granddaughter would inherit his research, but now it seems that was just wishful thinking.
"Hey Grandma? What's up? The documents for the Sinnoh region are ready. I didn't slack off."

Sonia rubbed her sleepy eyes, not having time to fix her hair, and yawned as she looked at the blurry figure of Dr. Mulan in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Dr. Mulan: "Dan Di is here."

Sonia suddenly jolted awake: "Hey! I'll wait right now, don't let him in!"

Dr. Mulan: "Don't be confused, Dan is at the station. Lots of people are surrounding him. It's just routine publicity before the Champions League."

"But you probably don't have time to deal with him for the time being."

Sonia: "What...does...this...mean?"

Dr. Mulan: "Haven't you always wanted to do research? Now, I have a research topic for you."

"That is [Dark Night]."

“An old friend told me that the person who knows the legend has arrived.”

"Let's go to Gongmen City right now!"

--------

Two days later, in the northern part of the Galer region, in the city of Miyamon.

Built under the guidance of the Marocmon Group and Chairman Loz, this is the newest and largest city in the Galer region, where 80 percent of the bloodthirsty audiences are concentrated!
It is said that the cheers and explosions from the battle at the Palace Arena were so loud that the surrounding residents were unable to sleep!
"However, sports competitions are the kind of thing that make people stay up all night to watch. Normal people would have moved away from this city long ago. Those who remain are naturally fans and enthusiasts of sports events. Bloodthirsty spectators are the most common in the Galar region."

"Not only are there battles, but the city also hosts a city-wide marathon. There are towering skyscrapers and the super-large five-star London Rother Hotel, with its elegant Gothic and Victorian architecture. This kind of large hotel was built to accommodate out-of-town spectators."

London Rother, its name comes from London!

Therefore, Palace City is London's alternate-world counterpart, but just as the bullfighting city of the Parthian region was overtaken by District Zero, London should be a city with a long history, but Palace City is a newly built town.

Once you enter the city, you'll see Galar's signature feature everywhere—the Corviknight taxis!
Lightmoss: "It is said that when Galar loses Corviknight, this region will perish."

"However, how could the noble Steel-Flying attribute become extinct? Even if a Greatsmith were to bring in a biological invasion, it wouldn't cause the Steel-Armored Raven to become extinct."

"So, that legend actually refers to..."

When darkness falls, Corviknights will scatter in terror. Some will be frightened, some will run away, and some will Dynamax and go berserk. Those who cannot be moved by Corviknights will be wiped out by the rampaging Pokémon.

Thus, Galar perished.

Cai Dou has already arrived here ahead of time; the Champions Cup will begin tomorrow.

Not far from Guangtai, a man with a dark punk style walked over with a girl who was also wearing a black jacket but was quite young.

Nie Zi: "The legend of Galar is just a parable or warning left by the ancients, so there's no need to pay attention to it."

"After all, not only the residents of the Galar region have little interest in legends, but even the scholars do. Dr. Mulan is an exception."

“But Mary asked you to come to Spiketown as a guest. Why did you come directly to Palace City? That being said, you’re a very busy person. Here, this is the ‘Essence of the Wide Area’ that I left with you before.”

"First class seats have been prepared for you. Enjoy the show with my lovely sister Mary."

"By the way."

Nie Zi's expression was slightly unpleasant: "You bastard, you're not a steel attribute king at all, you're clearly an expert in dark attributes."

"Marie said she went to great lengths to challenge me, and who taught her the 'Five-Up Surprise Attack + Ambush' Cool Leopard move? That's really vicious!"

Guangtai: "Cough, how can you say that I taught you this?"

"This is just a lower-tier option when Incineroar is unavailable; it's a choice made by history and the trainers!"

After all, high-fives and surprise attacks are the basic setup for Marie's Pokémon.

This shows that, as a trainer, Marie's combat talent is much higher than Nie Zi's!
Forget about high-fives; Mary also knows how to use poison and bluffing.

Although Mary wasn't smiling, she was in a very good mood.

"Hmm, quite interesting. I'm increasingly looking forward to the Fiery Roaring Tiger."

Nie Zi immediately interrupted, "We don't have that kind of Pokémon in our region! Even if it's a Dark-type expert, this is just too disgusting!"

Lightmoy: "What are you talking about? Your bandana thug, aren't you also good at intimidation + high-five ambush fighting style?"

Nie Zi: "That's a different matter. My lovely little sister can't be like me!"

"Phew, never mind, there's one more thing."

"It's strange that President Loz found out about your visit, isn't it? Did you tell anyone else that you came here to watch the match?"

Lightmoy: "I stayed on Armor Island for a few days. Master Ma said that someone was waiting for me in Palace City. Is the person investigating the legend Dr. Mulan's granddaughter?"

"Considering her grandmother's relationship with the Marocomón Group..."

While Nie Zi was talking to Guang Tai, Mary noticed a group of people approaching rapidly.

Mary: "Here I am, big brother."

Nie Zi: "Hmm?"

"Oh my, nice to meet you! You must be Hikari, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Padia Alliance!"

A gentle voice accompanied by an uplifting melody, and a man dressed in gray clothing—neither black nor white—appeared, a man who sought the darkness.

Loz: "Sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Loz, the president of the Marocomon Group. Let me get straight to the point: would you like to become a member of our Marocomon Group?"

Lightmoss: "But I think the Galar region probably doesn't need the Elite Four and another Champion, right?"

This line should have been said to Xin Li by Master Bao.

However, at this moment, the blue crystal carried by the light moss suddenly emitted light!
[Wait, wait a minute, the successor...this person...he has fragments on him!]

[How is this possible? How could these fragments appear in the Galar region? How is this possible? That's...it's Father...it's the Dark Crystal!]

Suddenly, the blue crystal's warning sounded, and then, like twinkling stars, a wisp of black light flashed across President Rose's body.

"Oh, is something glowing?"

President Loz and his secretary, Miss Olivia, were still unaware of the situation.

Lightmoy: "President Rose, what are you carrying? It looks like something very dangerous."

"Well, I've changed my mind. Let's talk briefly before the Champions League starts."

"Marie, you go into the audience first, I'll be there in a bit!"

　P.S.: Wang Luo appeared in ZA's information, and it turns out he really is a mountain man who, after living for 150 years, donated his alpaca suit to a museum. The mountain man said it was a great victory!
