Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 615 Legend: Galar Lostbelt! The seven classes of Servants have been selected!
dong dong——

Sonia arrived late, after Lightmoy and President Rose had fully exchanged their opinions, expressed their regret, and reserved the right to take further action.

That being said, the conversation didn't actually waste too much time.

"Ah! She's here! Let me introduce her!" Guild Master Rose was very happy to introduce Lightmoss. After all, what the guild master cared about was Galar, and what happened to Almia was completely irrelevant to him.

Even if Blake Hall has ambition, it probably won't affect this place!
Rose: "This is Sonia, the assistant of Dr. Magnolia, a renowned scholar in Galar! Dr. Magnolia is an authority on Dynamax research in our region. Thanks to her assistance, our Marocmon Group was able to successfully develop the technology and tools for artificially controlling Dynamax!"

"Although I can't help but say these things every time."

"Well then, Sonia, let me introduce you to this Elite Four member from the Padia region, a steel-attribute expert with considerable ties to the Unova region, and Lord Lightmoss, who seems to have made significant contributions to the study of myths and legends!"

"The Four Heavenly Kings are a position that doesn't exist in the Galar League. It's said that each of them has a chance to win the championship and is the strongest iron wall guarding the local league!"

Sonia replied excitedly, "And this person in front of me has already successfully entered the Hall of Fame! To be honest, I didn't quite understand what the Hall of Fame meant at first."

"Hello! I've heard about your situation from Dr. Mulan, so I'm asking President Rose for your help. Ah, Dr. Mulan is my grandmother!"

The Galar League has been a competitive sport since its inception. Although it promotes battles between Pokémon Trainers, its style is very distinct from the local culture, probably due to its isolated location overseas.

Therefore, it appears that there is no Hall of Fame in this region!
Sonia: "In the Galar region, the meaning of the champion seems to be slightly different from that in other regions. They are called the undefeated kings and are representative figures of the region, but they are not considered to be members of the highest-level council of the league."

Loz: "Yeah, those tedious things are best left to someone like me. I didn't win in the league, I was only a runner-up, so I can only do some insignificant work."

"Supporting champions like Leon and ensuring they continuously discover and nurture young talent in Galar, allowing them to focus on battles rather than wasting their energy on useless things, is the way to make Galar the strongest region!"

"And that's why I call him the strongest champion! This isn't bragging; that guy really does have that kind of strength! Even a [Legendary] might not be able to match him."

"cough!"

"Moreover, our Galar champion, Leonti, is this Miss Sonia's childhood friend. Including the current Dragon Storm Kibana, and the stunning beauty of the Waterboat Town, Lurina, they are all from the same generation of contestants."

"President, saying that makes me sound really strong," Sonia said, quite embarrassed. "But I gave up my dream of becoming a trainer because I couldn't beat Leon."

Loz: "There's no need to belittle yourself like that. Even now, as a doctor's assistant, you're still contributing to the development of this region!"

"How about it? Galar's future is incredibly bright, no less so than that of the United States. If it can inspire the Padia Alliance in some constructive ways, I think that would be excellent."

"But we don't have any guidance to offer regarding Hezhong. That's the advantage of being first to market."

Guangtai: "I see. As a new alliance, the Padia Alliance doesn't have much influence in the world. However, the Padia Alliance is indeed drawing inspiration from the Galar Alliance in its development."

However, Galata's atmosphere is a classic example of a business model combining sporting events with sports fans, echoing the spirit of British football. While it's undeniably successful commercially, there's always a sense of disharmony in other aspects.

"Then, I will carefully observe Galar's operation and development. As for the construction of Padia, it should be good as a school sport. For example, the [School's Strongest Tournament] or something."

Loz was taken aback: "School movements? I thought they would be extended to a wider scope."

Lightmoy: "You must understand, Orange College is a world-renowned university with an 800-year history, and its campus covers the entirety of Parthia. However, the reason it's limited to campus sports is..."

"Our region has decided to follow the example of Hoenn, Johto, and Sinnoh and establish a Battle Frontier."

"Battle facilities are still the most important challenge projects in various regions of the world. Galar's competitive sports turn trainers into stars. This is slightly disadvantageous for wild trainers."

"Moreover, there are so many areas where combat facilities can be utilized. Rules, all sorts of different rules, even the application of supernatural forces!"

Guild Master Rose, the "wild trainer," pondered for a moment: "Hmm, that's a good suggestion. Indeed, while our League also sponsors orphans and helps them realize their dream of becoming Pokémon Trainers, we should definitely pay more attention to those wild trainers."

"However, it would be better if there were fewer of those strange and unusual 'village rules' in a formal alliance, right? But I will take that suggestion into consideration."

Guangtai burst out laughing.

Village rules are the most powerful rules!
"President, um..." Sonia looked at Loz, who was chatting with her, and felt a little awkward. Guangtai took the initiative to greet her and eased the awkward atmosphere: "I have long admired Miss Sonia."

"She seems to be doing quite well as Dr. Mulan's assistant."

"Oh! You flatter me! I'm not famous at all!" Sonia waved her hands repeatedly, but then fell into deep thought again.

Hmm. Have you done any particularly impressive research, or co-authored any famous papers with your grandmother?

It seems, no?

However, the fact that experts from other regions knew about him probably means that Teacher Ma gave him a little praise when he introduced himself beforehand.

"I really feel ashamed and embarrassed." Sonia said somewhat awkwardly as she reviewed her past research.

Speaking of which, I've been an assistant for many years now, ever since I gave up the competition.

To this day, they haven't been able to establish a research institute on their own. Is it because they lack the talent to be PhDs?
"Well, I'll get straight to the point! I'm so sorry!" Sonia's mind was a little confused for a moment, but she didn't forget why she came here: "I came here because I heard about the legend of [Dark Night]!"

Lightmoy: "That's right. President Rose made a special effort to make time to listen to [Dark Night]."

Loz: "That makes me a little sad. I admire you as a master."

Both sides understood each other without saying a word. In fact, Hikari also knew that Chairman Rose had already investigated the situation of Dark Night and, quite by chance, or perhaps by fate, captured [Mutantana]!
Of course, it's also possible that Mugentana was originally located below Miyamon City, and that the city was built because Mugentana was there.

The real reason can only be revealed in works like "Legend of Galar".

The origins of Dark Night, dating back 20,000 years, have already been explained.

When discussing 3000 years ago, one cannot avoid mentioning Carlos's great war.

"Please sit down!" Lightmoy invited Sonia to sit down, and Olive knocked on the door and came in. She looked at President Rose and was about to say that there was not enough time, but Rose waved his hand, which was unusual for him.

There's still plenty of time.

This is what I've been waiting for.

This is the message conveyed in Lóz's eyes!

"So, how do you, coming from other regions, come to know the legend of the Lost Galar?"

Sonia is very curious.

And Lightmoss also presented an unassailable, ancient reason that actually happened in history and was unverifiable to Sonia:
“Long ago, some people suffered disasters in their hometowns and were attacked by rampaging Pokémon. Fearing this, they sailed out to sea and fled to a faraway place, trying to forget the past and start a new life. They set off in search of a new world without conflict.”

“Among these people are people from Galar.”

“They took things from Galar and Carlos, the armor that was transferred from Carlos, and local snacks, to faraway places and passed them down, where they were localized and became something completely different.”

"Such a thing is true?!" Sonia exclaimed in surprise. "Many people are immigrating to Galar now, and they even encourage immigration, but from what you've said, this place wasn't very habitable before."

Loz remained silent.

Guangtai glanced at the president reminiscing about the past, and said to Sonia:

"In the Shy Bud Inn in Machine City, there should be a huge golden statue, with a blue gemstone sword and a red gemstone shield, standing on a vortex that looks like a red dragon or a giant serpent."

"The hero with sword and shield drove away the darkness. Although it is a fairy tale that has been passed down in Galar, few people really care about the details."

"That statue is fake."

"Eh?! That famous statue?! It's supposedly based on a hero in people's hearts, but it's fake?!" Sonia exclaimed in surprise, even though she hadn't investigated the statue or remembered it.
However, I had stayed there before when I challenged the gyms. After all, Motostoke is a large industrial city that has existed for a long time, so the Bud Inn is a famous inn that has been open for decades!
That statue was there a long time ago.
Come to think of it, I've never noticed that before!
Lightmoss: "The sword and shield are people, Pokémon, and weapons. They are legendary items that appeared alongside the Kings of All. They are the founding legend of Galar."

"The ancient geoglyphs in Grass Road Town and the rock murals in Souken Town both record events related to the Dark Night." "[A black vortex enveloped the entire Galar region. The core absorbed the energy surging from the entire Galar region, distorting the surrounding spacetime. During the long night, gigantic Pokémon wreaked havoc, Corviknights disappeared from the sky, leading to the destruction of the Galar region.]"

"It seems that in ancient times, that thing was also called an evil god or something similar."

"In the treasure vault of Hammerlocke City, aren't there also legendary treasures and paintings? The fake statue was carved because of this, and half of the fifth tapestry was burned. To cover up the truth of the legend, someone hid everything, in order to be admired and to rule this land forever."

"But unexpectedly, this also led to the disappearance of my own clan in the long river of history."

"The fifth one?!" This time, not only Sonia, but even President Loz's expression became unusually serious.

Ordinary people cannot enter the treasure vault of Hammerlocke City; it requires arrangements made by the League. Therefore, Sonia has never been inside, but Loz has seen the four tapestries.

But there's a fifth one?!

"The fifth tapestry was hidden away. Later, perhaps due to a mismanagement by the descendants of Sword and Shield, it appeared in the antique market. Perhaps it is now in the antique town of Su Chuan, or perhaps in a shop in Zhan Jing Town, which has the legend of the hero's healing and the Fountain of Heroes."

"The painting depicts two heroes who have lost their swords and shields."

After the destruction of the First World nations, new kingdoms were rebuilt, creating a peaceful world without darkness.

In an era 3000 years ago, before Mega Evolution, the sudden Dynamax phenomenon in Galar must have brought immense pressure and terror to neighboring countries!

Adding to this is the story of AZ's brother, who [coveted the throne and brought outsiders who didn't belong to Carlos into Carlos's fold].
"Remember? The core of Dark Night absorbed the energy surging from the land of Galar, turning it into the [Calamity from the Sky]. This absorption began 20,000 years ago. This may also be the root cause of Galar's extremely scarce resources."

"In order to acquire more resources, they will leverage the terrifying power of the Dark Night to direct disaster towards neighboring countries embroiled in war, and cooperate with someone who covets the throne."

"However, this is a little-known legend from a neighboring country."

Sonia quickly pressed, "And then what? Is that all there is to Galar's history? Where did the Dark Night go after it was defeated?! You say it has a core, isn't it some kind of unusual natural phenomenon, or something that actually exists?!"

"So, the so-called 'dispelling the darkness' refers to 'defeating the opponent'? It's Pokémon battles!"

"This is incredible! This is an incredible myth! Are you a mythologist?!"

"If the calamities in the sky can be defeated by the power of humans and Pokémon, then... does that mean... Darknight is also one?"

"The founding heroes who commanded the Pokémon in Sword and Shield battles 3000 years ago, the [Kings of All]?!"

"Where did the sword and shield go?"

Lightmoss: "I think that when the time is right, they will call the right person to the place where the hero rests."

“It’s time.” President Loz stood up thoughtfully. “Although I would like to continue our conversation, the opening ceremony of the Champions Cup is about to begin.”

"Gentlemen, please enjoy the biggest annual event in the Galar region! If possible, I'd also like you to be a special guest and have a brief match with Leon to liven things up."

"This will definitely bring the atmosphere of the battle to its peak!"

Lightmoy: "Are you so convinced that Dan Emperor won't fail? That's hard to say. But I'm just here as a spectator."

Rose: "Haha, it's good to be confident, but I know Leon's strength best. It's a shame you're not planning to appear as a special guest. The Elite Four challenging the champion, a clash between two regions, such events seem to be held occasionally in the Unova region as well."

Of course, Dan Di will not fail.

Loz firmly believed this.

That guy is the strongest who can't be defeated no matter what enemy he faces! Therefore, only with Dan Emperor's assistance can [Dark Night] be suppressed! Now, with the special technology provided by Angel Company, the success rate has reached over 70%!

Even if the energy surges, it's okay!

Let's use the champions from other regions as stepping stones!
Loz: "Of course, it seems that several gym leaders have been strengthened this time, and they all seem to have plenty of confidence. Why is that?"

Which one do you prefer?

On the first day, all the trainers who completed the gym challenges will compete in the semifinals for a spot in the finals. After overcoming numerous trials, they finally gather in Pallet City.

However, Nie Zi is only appearing as a guest today and will not participate in the battle. The trainers who advance will compete with the top 7 gym leaders for the right to challenge for the championship in the finals the following day.

Therefore, this major local event, the final battle of the Champions Cup, only lasts four days from opening to closing. But if you include the time for gym challenges and other competitions, it becomes much longer.

"Although I am good friends with Nie Zi and I am looking forward to Qi Bana taking out the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon to fight Dante, in the end I still have to choose Aya."

"After the Champions League ended"

I'm going to the Crown Snowfield to find Big Head King!

Although the king was constantly expending his strength due to his relentless struggle with the riding system.
However, faith, like a river, is constantly flowing into its body!

Rider: The Crowned King.

Saber: Zacian;

Caster: The dark spirit of the King of Almia;
Berserker: Rainbow Bean.

Assassins: Hisoka and his duo;
Lancer: Guild Master Rose (Luck E, Gigantamax Steel Formation).

Archer: Leon (Invincible King, Gigantamax Hellfire).

Furthermore, Zamazenta possesses the projectile-type move "Giant Bullet," making him suitable as both a Shielder and an Archer!
"It will happen at some point, though not now. Let's choose our Servants in advance and prepare for the great war!"

"So, the ancient city where the King of Almia and the three princes once lived must be either Lordran, the Ringed City, or Lothric! It's completely consistent with the torture and torment caused by the mechanisms in the three princes' residences."

"The red-haired prince, the eldest son of God, was exiled to a volcano, stripped of his name and history, and left behind the Snow Festival ritual, after which few people knew him."

"The blond prince, the second son of God, was exiled to the desert, but he befriended the king of giants and turned the barren land into an oasis."

"The blue-haired prince of the three sons of God remained in the ancient city, and the blue crystal still guards the ancient city-state of God to this day."

Southern Galar region, the Misty Forest.

Zangmarante, like a battle-hardened warrior, once again appeared deep in the fog.

[The mysterious shield wielder I foresaw in my dream.]

[And, the power that lies deep within this land! Something from outside has appeared!]

Behind it, the phantom of Zacian, who was either its sister or a formidable rival, also appeared as a battle-hardened warrior.

A powerful energy is brewing in the Galar region, and it seems that something big is about to happen.

And this feeling was quite familiar to them, except...
Our current strength is far from sufficient!
[Possessing the craftsmanship of "the artisan of Noble Phantasms." If only someone could rekindle the power of the sword and shield.]

This time, Carlos has repeated his mistake, introducing foreign elements into this land. But then again, what on this land isn't foreign?

If one were to be captured by that terrifying dark spirit.

At our current level, we'll probably have to exit the competition now.

Therefore, we must continue to accumulate strength!
